The second guessers say that
Myer made major mistake in
yesterdays game with the Cards,
which the GriffS lost, to 6. With
Douthit on second base with the
winning run. and one out, Roettger
grounded to Buddy. Douthit was
we'll on the way to third base when
Myer fielded the bali but reversed
when the Griff tented throw to
second.
1t appeared that Myer. had time
to trap Douthit but he chose to
nail the batter at first. The next
up was Delker, who's single scored

Paul Hopkins. who pitched well
for two innings. was charged with
defeat. With one down In the
ninth, Jim Wilson tripled and scored
on Douthit's double. Roettger died,
Myer to Gooch, and Delker's solid
smack to center brought DoIthit
home with victory.
The Griffs played snappy baseball
throughout, excepting a delayed
steal by Barnes In the first inning
But their four.run rally in the sixth
that tied the score was encouraging
in a biting way.

other grain prices recovering relatively.
Artificial Stimulants have been admin
istered In the form of proposed govern
ment purchases of surplus wheat. This
does not correct the fundamentally I'M
sound conditions caused by over pro-
duction. That the outlook in the wheat
growing sections has taken the edge off
the general business situation is evident
from the caution with which large
manufacturers Of agricultural imple-
ments and automobiles and national
distributors of merchandise. have been
proceeding since 1t was first realized
a month ago that the purchasing power
OF the farmer this year would be materi-
ally reduced.
Events in Foreign Field.
Outside Of the United States there
have been two events this week that
have close relation to American BUSH
ness and financial affairs. One was the
settlement of the reparations terms with
the acceptance by Germany and the al
lies Of the so-called Young plan. The
other was the overthrowing OF the Con-
sentative party in England and the sue
cess of Labor.
The debt settlement has had the i'm
mediate effect of stimulating industry
In Continental Europe, which will be
later on reflected in an enlarged demand
for American goods and raw materials.
1t has led to q reduction in rates Of in
terest in Germany and in an advance
here in German dollar bonds of from 3
to points. This advance represents an
appreciation In a weeks time OF ap-
proxinately o0,oo0,0 900 in German Sc
curity held by Americans and ought
to be of satisfaction to those who sug-
gested the slight concession made by
the United States to the debtor nations
which was the entering wedge In the
final successful conclusion Of con-
ference to stabilize Europe industrially
and financially.

leased during the week indicated that

Railway Association to be running in
a volume very considerably above nor
NAL for the season.

The Pacific northwest is again being represented on the coaSt-to- coast radio programs. A. J. Arrivee < traveling passenger agent of the Great Northern Railway, who pass ed thru Seward the other day, an- nounced that series of programs designed to carry the story of the up-and-cOming northwest and AL aska is being broadcast weekly by the Great Northern over the net work of the National Broadcasting Co.
 A new type of program has been evolved for the coming series. Mod ern romances with their locales mainly in the Pacific northwest are to be featured in especially ar ranged musical settings. An Alas kan program will be included in the series.
 Several well known western writ CTS have contributed stories for the new series. Rayfond Knight, Broad way theatrical director, who is rec ognized as one of the foremost radio drama producers and who produced the Empire Builder pro- grams last year. will stage the new series.
 The new type of program, with modern fiction stories, is said to af ford many opportunities to picture Alaska and the northwest as it is today, it's climatic advantages, out of-door life, scenery, sports, natur- al resources and business oppor- tunitieS
 The new series of Empire Builder programs began Monday evening, September 30, and will occupy the half hour between 7:30 and 8 o'clock, Pacific coast time, every Monday evening.
 The following coast stations will broadcast the programs: K c o, San Francisco, K II, Los Angeles; K c ", Portland; K 0 M o, Seat tie; K H Q, Spokane,

persistence in the Ruhr valley and
 in its stead instituted policy of
 reconciliation with Germany's
 former enemies Together with
 Chancellor Marx he represented Germany in the London conference
 that led to the adoption of the Dawes plan and a year later, in February, 1925, suggested the idea Iof a Seucrity pact with France. He won over Dr. Hans Luther, then chancellor, to the advantages of non- aggression pact, and with him went to London to help draft the famous Locarno treaties. It was he who secured Germany's agreement to the renunciation of Alsace and Lorraine and finally, he negotiated and Steered Germany's entrance into the League of Nations.
 All these events, of tremendous importance in the feesta ablishment of economic order in Germany, were accomplished by Stresemann long before he was 50 years of age. For his ability to change his politi- cal creed and adapt himself to the new order of things, brought about Iby changing conditions, he often was called The Lloyd George of Germany" How completely he could change in the course of events was indicated by his new attitude to- ward the republic.
 Stersemann, twice chancellor five times foreign minister, was born in Berlin, May l0, 1873, the son If restaurart koercr. He siowed promise as . boy. and hls fatLcr. at considerable sacrifice, sent him thru the university of Berlin and Leipsic He specialized in economics and political science. After leaving college in 1901 he be- came assistant to the general sec retary of the Association of Ger man Chocolate Manufacturers. Two years later he was chosen general
