dustrial development to the Vest ward
 Furthermore there will be, ac- ;cording to MT. McCord, the farthest west rodeo next spring when 500 bulls will be rounded up for beef purposes, some of them to go to the marts of the world as testimony of the fact sensed 30 years ago that the islands of Western Alaska
 would produce good beef
 There are 1000 head of cattle on 1 the island as result of the propog@- tion instituted by Charles Frye of the Frye Bruhn Co.,, and others
 who had the idea at that time that livestock could successfully be cul- | tivated to the Westward Stock
 were put on the island but subse-
 quent development, what with the rate wars and one thing and anoth- Ter, including the difficulty of land ing on the island, caused the origi-
 nators of the idea to forget it ard
 put their losses in their pockets.
 In the meantime the cattle lived
 and had had their being. The bulls lived as fast as the females. There were many battles which resulted in some of the larger bulls taking charge of the herds of COWS. The younger bulls and the outcasts banded together and put up such a formidable front that white men
 were scared off the beach. In otil-
 CT words, the cattle have had the island to themselves for 30 years.
 There is a new deal on in which white men will demonstrate their Iauthority over brute force. The tides throw enough piles and tim Der against the desolate shores of Chirikoff to make fairly good run ways for cattle on the run. Horses lare already being sent in and coW- boys will be enlisted to drive the
 bulls to the beach where they vii; be handled for beef and the best fitted turned back on the range. Prominent bankers of New York who are interested in propagation of livestock on Westward Islands will be witnesses of the spectacle the like of which has never been seen in far Western America, and perhaps will never be seen again on this continent or it's islands.
 Some of the bulls are wild as deer even though they weigh 2,OO0
 pounds. The best of the bull stock is to be preserved and full-bred
 Galloway bulls raised by the Alaska
 Experimental station at Kodiak WI
 be sent to the island oy the McCord Co.,, for the introduction of new blood
 In the meantime the blue fox
 race has gained a strong hold On the island and will be a part of tie
 present company's activities.

PEOPLE ENJOY
HEINK CONCERT

Madame Schumann- -Heink sang last
night in Bisbee to a large and en-
thusiastic audience at the Lyric the
ater, being called back after each
group of songs for numerous ac-
knowledgements.
Douglas was well represented and
the large number of tickets sold for
the postponed concert two weeks ago
were nearly all retained by their orig
inal purchasers. The Lyric theater
has a seating capacity of 1900 and
probably the largest attendance to
any musical event in Bisbee was re-
corded last night
This was the great contralto's an
nounced farewell appearance in Bis
bee and music lovers felt indeed for
tunate that she was able to return
as twice before it had been necessary
on account of illness, for her to can
eel her engagement in that city.
Schumann- -Heink has been long IN
America and has been closely 1dentl-
fled with American musical life. Her
first appearance in New York was IN
1898.

CAN'T
CALL A PERSON
TO BE- A JUROR

Sheriff George r. Henshaw has an
aggravation that he believes is caused
by the fact that many people do not
understand how perscr.A are selccted
for service on the jury in the dis
trict court. He states ti1at ne has
frequent requests to put so and
so on the jury" as though tnc5 sheriff
had the final say on v..o should
serve. In fact, he says that he has
just received a request signed by
%Citizens of Douglas" asking that a
certain Douglas man "be pu5 on the
next Jury because he is now out Of
work.
1--WE would be glad to nave the
people all understand that it is
impossible for this office to put
anybody -on the jury as all names
of jurors must be- drawn from the
Jury box in the usual way and there
is no method of determining III
advance what name you are going
to draw" remarks the sheriff in q
letter. to the Dispatch in which he
asks that this be called 10 lie atten-
ton of the public.
For the advice of those unfamiliar
with Jury selection it is stated that
the names of prospective jurors are
taken from the county tax lists by
q jury commission and are written
on slips CT paper Of identical size
and appearance These slips are
then placed in large box which is
known as the jury box. At stated
times, according to the provision of
the. statute, these names are drawn
by officials designated by the statute
to do that work and the drawing
is done with three or mere present
to witness it. The names are drawn
one at time and the names within
the box are agitated between the
draws SO that there is not the
slightest chance of the sheriff calling
anybody to service as personal
favor.
As much as the sheriff regrets one
being in need of york and unable
to find it, he is absolutely unable
to use his influence to make jury
service anything suggesting an EN-.
ployment burean, even ii he had
such desire.

BIG LEAGUES REJECT
10-MAN TEAM PLAN
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 14.-The major
leagues have closed their shutters on
the base bah draft problem, but it still
cast chill of discomfort over the mi
nors today
Refusing to bulge from the stand
they have taken, officials and club own
ers Of the National and American
Leagues, in joint session yesterday. in
formed the minor leagues that the per-
picking question rested solely with them.
They rejected an invitation to send rep
resentatives to the meeting of minor
league clubs at West Baden, Ind, jan
uary 10, during which the question is
to be threshed out, If possible.
If conciliatory plan is adopted at
the West Baden meeting. the major
league officials said, they will be glad to
hear of it at their next meetings in
February.
Rejection of the plan of John Heyd-
ler president of the National League, to
have 10-man teams so that a pitcher
would not have to bat; decision to open
the major league season on April Is, a
week later than last season, and to close
it on October 6, a week later; severn
trades and discussion of the farm
question were high lights of action at
the joint meeting of the two major or
ganizations yesterday.
The playing season was moved up a
week because of the usually inclement
weather which trimmed attendances
and caused many postponements last
season.
President Heydler's 10-man team pro-
posal received but Scant consideration
from the American League club own
ers and officials. who felt it would be
harmful. President Heydler predicted
the plan would be used some time.
While most clubs left the meeting
with deals made, the New York Yam
KEGS went home without single trade
Manager Miller Higgins, however in
dicated he hoped to make a swap with
the Philadelphia Athletics and the ru-
more were that it would send Third
Baseman Sammy Hale and Pitcher Rube
Walberg from the CAS-" TO the Yankees
in exchange for Pitcher Myles Thomas
and either Outfielder Bob Meusel or
Benny Paschal.

Youngsters who think the pugilistic
road leads to easy wealth should con-
slider the testimony before the Maryland
State Athletic Commission the other
afternoon when Marty Gallagher, Wash
ington boxer, sought to have his con-
tract with John S. Blick, his manager,
declared null and vOid. writes w. A,
Biggs in the Baltimore Sun.
It was brought out that when Bilck
took Gallagher under his managerial
wing two years ago Gallagher then was
making S24.50 a week as plumper
helper or apprentice. Blick agreed 10
nav him S25 a week during the life OF
the contract, which was for two years.
and give him a certain percentage OF
the purses for which Gallagher fought.
The fighters portion was to be 80
per cent, it was brought out Thls Is
a smaller cut than boxers generally
get from their managers, the general
rule being $3.50, although some grasp
ing managers have been able 10 take
so per cent or higher unless they were
like Gene Tunney.
Testimony was offered that Gal
lagher had earned $5,400 in the two
years. but all he received was $1,000
This sum. plus $25 week for two years,
would be $4,000, or $2,25o a year. That
is small potatoes as ring earnings 60
and If Gallagher had stuck to his
plumbing tools he would be making
more than that, unless the plumbing
profession has been greatly maligned.
A further Illustration of the Unequal
ity of affairs between boxers and their
managers was developed. Under the
contract Blick was given the 'yht to
renew it for four more years a. the eX-
piration of the first two, and the Mary
land commission upheld this, but 1t
was testified that if Blick got tired of
paying Gallagher $25 week he could

Myer Deal Hangs Fire.
The expected deal between Washing
ton and Boston did not come to head
and President Clark Griffith returned
to his native heath minus that which
he wanted to present to his fans
namely young Buddy Myer.
1t is said that Griff was willing to
part company with three or four of the
following players-Cronin. Gooch, Gillis,
CASTOR and Lisbenbee-for Myer, but he
would not put both Cronin and Reeves
in the transaction as demanded by Bos-
ton. Just before leaving for the East
both Quinn and Griffith expressed the
hope they would be able to get together
before long
Griff wanted to take Chick Autry off
Cleveland's hands, this despite the fact
he had the old hammer working on
Chick at the recent Toronto minor
league meeting where he is said to have
expressed himself along the lines that
"Autry is the worst catcher in the big
leagues"
When he approached Billy Evans here
and felt him out about Autry. Billy re-
called what he had said about Chick
in Toronto, to which Griff replied. We'll
fellow can change his mind, cent hep
Thereupon he said he would trade
either Kenna. Tate or Gooch for Autry,
but Evans told him there was nothing
