The End of a Missouri Town.

G. B. Smith, now working in the Kansas City Southern yards here, was formerly employed at Sligo, Dent county, Missouri, where vast quanti- ties of pig iron has been made. He now has a clipping from a St, Louis paper giving details of the drawing of the last fire of the big furnaces which means practical extinction of the town. This cause is the result of the exhaustion of the timber on 50,000 acres of land from which charcoal was made to operate the furnaces. The employees will be allowed to occupy rent free, the houses, all owned by the furnace company, until they can make other plans for livelihood.

CANADIAN WILDS FILM
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

Not for many moons has beautiful Dorothy Phillips graced our Cordova screen. But she is with us again. and in another of those vivid, vital, al turing roles for which she Is famed.
 Paid in Advance" in which Miss Phillips is starred, is a story of the Canadian wilds,--a vehicle we'll suit ed to her wonderful histrionic ability. The vividness and realism with which each detail has been portrayed, to- gether with the unusual talent of the supporting cast, makes Paid in Ad- vance" a noteworthy production.
 Life in the early days of Dawson is stirringly depicted and the story is woven round a plot of unusual power and interest. Lots of action, excit- ment galore, we'll sustained suspense, and a smashing climax are outstand- ing features of Paid in Advance" showing tonight at the Suppress.
 Completing this strong program, there will be shown a Pathe News reel and an unusually good comedy, Mol ly's Mumps."

TRADE WITH SiBERlANS

During 1892 he managed. through all sorts of strange adventures, to transport I'll reindeer across the strait to Alaska. During the next ten years a total of 1,2SO reindeer were brought over That ended the importations from Siberia. From that modest beginning, the reindeer herds of Alaska have increased up to the present time. to 10000 head In addition to this present number of animals, 90,000 have been slaughtered from year to year for food and cloth ing purposes, making a total produc- tion of 23O,OOO head.
 When Dr. Jackson made his first trip to Siberia to negotiate for the purchase of the animals. he found that the natives knew absolutely nothing about the coin of the realm, and were only willing to trade their reindeer for certain articles of every day use. He consequently had to re- turn to the United States and take on a cargo of bright-hued cotton goods. rifles, cartridges, flour. bar lead for making bullets. several buckets of candy for the little boys and girls, and an abundance of ship biscuit The latter article soon be- come commonly known as the small change" of the Arctic country being looked upon as the equivalent of pennies and nickels. The value of the goods traded averaged three dol lars for each reindeer obtained. In the light of subsequent developments it would seem as though Dr. Jack son had driven a bargain that some day might eclipse that famous pur- chase of Manhattan Island from the Indians for two ten dollar bills.
 On account of there being no docks or harbors on the Siberian coast, it was most difficult proposition to get the reindeer aboard the vessel. It was necessary to anchor the cut ter several miles out from the shore and take the animals out to it in a small flat boat But in order to do this 1t was, of course, first neces- sary to catch MT Reindeer. This required the services of an expert enced man with the lasso. After being lassoed, the feet were then ''hog-tied" in the same manner that cowboys in Texas tie cattle when the branding iron is applied. It was then a comparatively easy matter for a couple of husky natives to place them aboard the boat. Up to the present time the United States gov

REINDEER WILL
 TAKE PLACE IN
 BIG INDUSTRIES

WASHINGTON. July 13. - Some day in the not far distant future, Alaska may loom large as one of the important sources of meat supply for the United States
 It is conservatively estimated by those who have made a careful study of the situation, covering a period of mGuy years, that there is ample room and enough natural food on the ranges of Uncle Sam's only re- maining territory to take care of from twelve to fifteen million head of reindeer
 This will be cheerful and comfort ing news for the pessimistically in clined who have looked upon the cutting up of the vast cattle ranges of the western states for agricultural purposes, as a certain forerunner of either empty stomachs or the adop- tiou by Americans of an exclusive vegetarian diet of carrots, cabbage, cantaloupe, cucumbers, corn on the cob, and various other products of the truck patch.
 So gradual has been the develop ment of the reindeer industry in Alaska that comparatively few Amer jeans, except those living in Oregon and Washington and certain govern ment officials at Washington, D. C., are aware of it's present and pros pective magnitude.
 This potential industry is a monu- ment to the foresight and big-heart- edness of the late Dr. Sheldon Jack. son, the famous Alaskan missionary. In 1892, Dr. Jackson realized that as result of the rapid encroachment of white men in the realm of hunt ing and fishing. all game and seal and walrus would soon be depleted, and the native Eskimo and Indians would ultimately be starved out, and such races become extinct Under Ihe ulI'CtloH Ol lht buI'du ul euuSd tion, a branch of the interior depart ment of the United States govern ment. Dr. Jackson was given author | ity to import reindeer from Siberia, which at one place is only forty-one miles across Boring strait from the western coast of Alaska. On clear days it is an easy matter to see from one coast to the other The doctors efforts along that line for the ensuing ten years are miracle of business and experimental TO- nance of remarkable interest.

ernment has Invested S31O,00 in the reindeer business in Alaska. Divi- dends aggregating 926 per cent have been netted on this investment The total valuation and income from reindeer is $3,247,345, leaving a net profit of s2,93O,345. after the bureau of education deducts it's total invest ment of s317,OOO.
 BENEFIT TO ESKIMO
 The thousands of people who are trying to get rich in the oil fields of Texas might do better by trying the reindeer business in Alaska.
 The original object of the importa- ton was to furnish a permanent source of supply for food and cloth ing for the nomadic hunters and fish ermen. in the vicinity of Boring strait. who were ekeing out pre- carious existence upon the rapid dis appearing game animals and fish. But far more than that has been ac- complshed Within less than gen eration the reindeer industry has caused all of the Eskimos inhabiting the vast grazing lands from Point Barrow to Aleutian islands to ad- vance through one entire stage of civilization. It has raised them from the primitive to the pastoral stage; from nomadic hunters to civilized men and women, having in their herds of reiudeer assured support for themselves and opportunity to ac. cumulate wealth.
 The reindeer is essentially an in habitant of snowy countries, feeding on lichens or moss, mushrooms, grass and willow sprouts, which grow even on the poorest soils. It never makes any difference to the rein deer how much snow may be on the ground. Whenever his appetite be- gins to assert itself he merely drops aside from the beaten path and paws through the snow until the appetizing moss is found. It is this characteris | tic of the reindeer which makes him the peer of all animals susceptible of domestication and used for human food. All others need food and shel- | ter
 1 The coming of the reindeer to Alaska has developed a new and ex- citing sport among the natives. It | is reindeer racing. Sleek limbed ami mals are petted and tenderly cared for just as thoroughbred Kentucky horses are looked after in the old states. The public races are staged at the annual country fairs, and give the owners something to look for ward to for months.
 | It is rather amusing to realize that | just as horse racing is being out | lawed from most of the states, rein deer racing is coming into it's own | in Alaska.

boast of which no other city can touch and which might be of in- terest to sport writers Tn larger cities.
 This lineup comprises players who graduated from our sand lots to faster company in course of two years and this season finds every one of them in the major leagues, a record, I feel sure, that no other city in the country can boast. Another interesting fact is that every man in my lineup played ball at the same time in the T. c. I. league in the season of 1918.
 The lineup is as follows
 Welch, center field, from Pratt City to Philadelphia Americans; Christenberry, left field, from Pratt City to Boston Nationals; Sewell. shortstop, from Red Mountain to Cleveland Americans; Stephenson, second base, from Red Mountain to Cleveland Americans; Stiles, first base, from Bessemer to Philadel- phia Americans; Wingo, right field, from A.

 Both of the Louisiana teams are re- ported strong this season and, before leaving Auburn Manager Wideberg made no prediction as to the outcome of either meet. However, one thing is very sure and that is that every Auburn man will put forth every effort to win every point possible.

News of the nomination was received with delight on the Travellers bench. Frenick had licked them over in Bir- welcomed an opportunity for revenge The young Baron started in great form. retiring the first three men to face him, but in the second inning the vengeful Travellers began the dirty work Four runs in that inning seriously weakened frenicks hold on the pitching job An other run at the start of the third con yinced Moley that he had guessed wrong, and he sent Drake in to stop the attack Drake went very we'll until the seventh inning, when another bombardment pro- .duced two more Little Rock runs.
 KID GUESSES RIGHT
 On the other hand Kid Elberfeld's $ guess on which one of his pitchers was right was one of the best he has made this season The Kid nominated ''Bub- ber'' Jonnard, and Rubber took it upon himself to pitch a whale of a good ball game. Incidentally, he hit himself a double with the bases full in the sec ond inning, and. to complete his big day, he actually stole base in the eighth.
 Jonnard really was in fine form this afternoon. He allowed only six hits, anu SlTuch out seven or the BarOnS.
 TRAVELLERS GET STARTED
 The big action in the second started after Frenick had famed Don Brown Boil slapped single to right and Bill Wano started his perfect batting average by whaling a double down the first-basa line. Boil stopped at third. "Scrappy" Moore was called out on strikes. The or der was issued to pass and it was executed. Then came Jonnard with a two-base smash just inside the line at first. Two runs scored. Eddie Mcdonald drove in two more with a single to right. Rescher was walked, but Emery got un- der Harpers long drive to right center.
 Brown evened matters with FrenicS in the third inning by waiting him out for a base on balls. Boil advanced the run ner with neat hunt. Wanos second hit, single down the first-base line, scored Brown Moley recalled Frenick and sent Drake in. Wano had gone to second on the throw to the plate, but piece of classy work by Emery in center cost the Indian his place on the bag. Gooch made wild heave in an effort to catch Bill off. second. The ball headed for center field and Bill started for third. Emery came in fast and a quick throw to Trayner trapped Wano before he could get back. Moore missed the third strike and the inning was over.
 BARONS' SCORING
 The fourth was the Barons lucky in- ring. Emery got on when Moore mussed up his bunt. Bernsen hit fly to left field and the ball hit the ground before Beacher could get to it and went for
