There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
for years it was supposed to be in
durable. Doctors prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly fail

pronounced it incurable. Catarrh
is local disease, greatly infuenc-

therefore requires constitutional

FIELDING of
FAIRBANKS BOYS

Witty and COnnOr Have
Perfect Average--T0tal
Errors Are Is

Although only two members OF
the Fairbanks A. A. baseball team
are fielding for perfect average
the misplays OF the remainder OF
the club have been few and far be-
tween. In eight games a total OF
ID miscues have been committed
which is not too bad considering
the many and difficult chances the
fielders have accepted
Clarence Witty, pitcher, and
"Puss" Conner, left fielder have an
unblemished record. The former
has figured in eight put outs while
the latter has participated in the
killing of five runners. In view of
the large number of chances ac-
cepted by first base man Me-
Laughlin and catcher Bernie Starr
their records appear especially
brilliant. "Mac" has had 81 OPP
portunities with but two errors
while Bernie has foozzled twice in
ga times.

two doubles. Mclaughlin, Hoelnle
and Mahar each have one double to
their credit. st. Angelo is the only
man on the "nine" who has been
able to clear the bases.
Charlie Mahar, the capable third
Esacker, is out in front for stolen
base honors but is being trailed
closely by Alex Downey and John
st. Angelo. Downey leads in sac
irifice hits. He has sacrificed him
self three times. Practically every
other member of the team has laid
down a bunt to aid a fellow player
alono on at least one occasion.

CAP|TAk TRACTION
OPPOSES SWITCH
High Cost Given as Reason
for Antagonizing Colorado
Avenue Change.

( The Capital Traction Company be-
lieves that it's 14th street line should
be extended beyond the terminal at
Colorado avenue s soon as the street
is opened and construction costs come
down
This belief is expressed in letter
addressed to the Public Utilities Com
mission by the company. advising the
commission not to order the removal
of the loop now existing at l4th street
and Colorado avenue.
George +. Hamilton. president, and
John II. Hanna, vice president, fol-
lowed up the letter with personal
interview with the Commis missioners}tO-
day, at which they gave their reasons
for believing that the substitution Of
straight switch for the loop would
not improve traffic conditions at that
point.
Danger Increased. :,
| The company officials feel that, on
the contrary, a straight switch would
! increase the danger of accidents at
Colorado avenue.
The question of removing the loop
was tdkeh up with the company few
weeks ago, following the death of a
boy. who was struck by an automo-
bile at that corner while riding BIZ
cycle. AS result of the accident, cit
lzenS of that vicinity asked the Com
mlssioners to do several things to
which was the removal of the car
loop. The street car company's letter
to the commission follows:
! Text Of Letter.
| We have received and given care
| full attention TO your letter of Sep
! tember ,. in reference to the re-
, moval of the terminal street car loop
! at 18th street and Colorado avenue
| northwest.
| I'VE are aware that this terminal
! was originally located with the un-
derstanding that at some future date
| it would be removed. the expectation
| being that ultimately our 14th street
! line would be extended farther north
i when no need for terminal would
| exist at that point. That condition
, still exists and we believe that this
| line should be extended at some time
in the not far distant future. depend
ing upon the opening of the street
. and upon possible reduction in the
/ very high cost of track construction.
, We would object very strongly, how
ever, to the removal of the loop and
the substitution therefor of Il cross
over terminal, first. because in our
! opinion the Crossover terminal would
be very much more Objectionable
from the viewpoint of safety than
the loop. and second, because of the
expenditure of large amount of
money which would be useless after
a very few years and should not be
gone into unless some real benefit
is derived by the public or the com
pany.
I'VE submit that the existence of
the loop terminal had nothing what
ever to do with the accident referred
to in your letter, and. as a matter of
fact. the location of the loop termi-
nal does not at the present time
constitute a source of danger at this
point. A crossover terminal would
make it necessary for cars to stand
in the center of the street for some
time. where they would interfere
with traffic great deal more than
at the present"
