Remember Weeden?" asked
Heating. ST mean before he went
into the theatrical game? He
brought William 'Rothwell, Young
Corbett,' out to the coast for his
fight here with Terry McGovern.
Before that he had Willie Fitz-
gerald.

twenty-round decision fight by
Jimmy Britt and this fact later led
to an estrangement between Weed

'aBut you know what COrbett
was like. He thought he could
beat anybody in the world. He
insisted on going ahead with the
Britt match and so Weeden split
with him.

I'm 1905, a year after the Britt
fight, Weeden happened in Butte

was fighting Maurice Thompson.
Just before the fight Corbett met
him and asked il he wouldn't have
an eye to the business end Of the
bout. While he was standing talk
ing. to Corbett, Weeden was &C.
costed by young fellow.
"'Say. Mr.. Weeden,' he said, you
have been around fighters and
know a lot about fighters. / wish
you'd keep an eye on me tonight.

fight. Tell me if I am any good
"'Yes, yes Weeden answered,

"Corbett beat Thompson, knock

Weeden returned to the hotel and
was met by the young man.
We'll, how did YOU like the
fight?' he asked.
"'AIl right answered Weeden.
OF course Corbett figured to win

He thought no more of the in

But in San Francisco, after the
fire, Weeden turned up one night

Hargrave was purchased by
the Griffmen from the New
Haven club, of the Eastern Asso-
citation. 1t was known that he
was not fast, but he was said to
be a capable hitter and a handy
lad to have around. Hargrave's
biggest fault while with the
Washington club was a certain
lack of ambition. He is not a
youngster and, if nobody told him
to hustle, why, he just sat down
and enjoyed watching the ball
game. Really that, together with
the crackerjack work of Muddy
Ruel behind the bat, had more to
do with running Hargrave as a
Washington catcher than any
thing else.
Last season Bennett Tate joined
the Griffmen. He was, of course,
unable to crowd Ruel off the
team, but he did have enough pep
and spirit to shove Hargr1ve back
into third place among the teams
receivers, which was fancy work
for a mere boy fresh from the
minors.
This year Hargrave worked
hard in Florida and was in good
condition when the Season started.

that accompanied Mr.. Bum to Sher-

not turn in their cards, thus show

presentable score. Bum did turn
i'm his, and in the due course OF
events it was learned, officially,
that his card was the lowest OF the
day. And what does this rascal
John Dodge do but conniVe to-
cheat Alec Of his laurels.
The writer was told that Harry
Krauss had won then Harry was
lauded to the skies. He modestly
accepted the gratuitous honors.
Harry would. But now 1t Is time
TO tell that Alec Bum really won,
that he deserved to win, that he
should have won, and that he col
leced most Of his bets. He even
collected one from Harry Krauss.
Walter Cox, Charlie Goodaere,

DEPICTING ALL
 ALASKA RESOURCES BE
 MADE FOR JACK M'CORD

Jack McCord, popular business man of Seward, who has offices in the Hartman Building is having a large painting made by Artist Johanssen. The painting is something different from the ordinary and carries much significance. It depicts nine leading industries of Alaska in full original color, namely: in the center of the huge 6X4 canvass is portrayed an oil well, gigantic derrick looming up in the foreground, an exactness of the Iniskin Oil region; then the reindeer industry is shown, taken from the CantWell district in Broad Pass, reindeer in the distance and one monster big-horned buck in the foreground posing leasurely seeming unafraid of the multitudiness of the surrounding mountains; the stock raising industry of Kodiak shows steers grazing in the greens on the big Island; Fur farming in Alaska is depicted, with silver fox in the big open spaces; the fishing indus try has it's place on the canvas in which salmon are leaping up diminu tive cascades and falls, a marvellous sight to one never having witnessed the undertaking of Alaska's canned goods; Gold mining is portrayed in the old placer way-the find made famous on Bonanza, with a man in the creek up to his knees in water banning the yellow from the shallow bed; last but not least the undaunted efforts of the coal miner making his debut with coal seams protruding in jaggedness in all realistic form.
 A few other industries are also portrayed on the canvas, which is not yet finished. After it's compile tion, MT. McCord will have it plac- ed upon the walls of his office for the world to see and marvel at. A story of thousands of clicks and reems of paper are wrapped up in the picture. The public will be in vited to see this picture upon com. pletion.

The foxes look very good at the present time though in the spring, MT. Cunningham was more or less worried owing to the exception al heavy rainfall. The pups have surprised him with the rapidity of their growth. Pups born in the spring are now almost two-thirds full size, he said.

Very Few Fox Skins Have Been Marketed Since the Island

After five years of hard and con- sistent effort, a fur harvest will be reaped this fall when MT. and Mrs. Frank Cunningham, fox ranchers on Wooded Island, near Montague Is. land, dispose of 200 of their flock of 300 blue foxes. As the prevailing price of blue fox skins run a1l the way from $75 to $150 a skin, one can easily figure out, a small for tune will be theirs. MT. and Mrs. Cunningham, who have been guests at the Hotel Van Glider for the last two days, completed purchasing sup plies and material this morning and planned to depart, in their motor boat, Cameo, for the return trip to their island home
 Whale Meat Feed.
 The use of whale meat for fox feed is meeting with all the desired success, MT. Cunningham stated dur ing his brief visit in Seward. He was the first in the Prince William Sound area to purchase whale meat, for this purpose, from Captain Louis Lane, who with his partners, arc the originators of this new Alaskan industry. The main reason of MT. Cunningham's trip to Seward at this time was to have three vats or tanks made, which will be taken back to the island where they will be set up and used as cookers. The vats are four feet long, 30 inches wide and IS inches in depth. Steam pressure will be used for the cooking. The three tanks will be housed in three different houses, which Mr. Gun ningham will begin to build at once, at various points on his island. The whale meat will be kept in barrels outside, when prepared for fox feed, for winter feeding.

Surrounded By Cliffs.

Owing to the high cliffs surround ing the entire island, there is found no landing place, and it is with the use of dory only that the landing of supplies and equipment can be accomplished. MT and Mrs. Gun ningham do not reside on Wooded island, but on Montague island, at an approximate distance of three miles. Here they have a modern home of three rooms. It is their intention this year to take up two homesites, if possible, or lease from the government on Nellie Martin river, and with 50 pairs of muskrats, start a muskrat farm. Two acres will be cleared and planted to vege tables for feed to the muskrats. A perfect lagoon adjoins their present homesite on Montague island, ideal for vessels to run into for protection from rough weather. Another inn provement to Wooded island is be- ing planned, in the erection of three derricks and hoists, near the site of the three feed houses. With the erection of these, MT. Cunningham states a great deal of work and haul ing can be eliminated.
