LOCALS ID PLAY
 BRIDGEPORT TEAM
Hi9h School CrtV InVades Park
 City Tomorrow Afternoon

After years of separation the New Britain High and Bridgeport Central High school will resume athletic relations in the Park City tomorrow afternoon when the base ball teams will meet.
 Coach George M. Cassidy feels that with the return to Bridgeport Central for this baseball game and the football contest next fall the re- lationship, long severed. will con- tinue indefinitely.
 The baseball nine has hard schedule ahead. After Bridgeport. the team plays Hartford and New Haven Hillhouse High, teams which represent the three alrgest cities in the state. The Red and Gold team still has a chance for the triangular baseball title. It must defeat Hart ford High Monday and New Haven Hillh9use High on Saturday.
 If it were not for the players in- ability to hit in the pinches the team would have had a successful season. It is one of the best defen- sive combinations in recent years. A little improvement in the base run ming would help. This was shown in the St. Thomas Seminary third game when several good chances were missed because of inferior base running.
 Another needed improvement is covering up of the plays. In the St. Thomas game the Saints catcher caught the instructions from Coach Cassidy to the batter as he was walk ing to the plate and the result was that he and the pitcher engineered a play which caught two runners on the bases.

RELIEF FROM CURSE
 OF CONSTIPATION


 A Battle Creek physician says. Constipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause. '"
 But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Or derlies has been discovered. This ta blet attracts water from the sys- tenn into the lazy. dry. evacuating bowel called the colon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle, thorough, natural movement without forming a habit or ever increasing the dose.
 Stop suffering from constipation. Chew a Rexall Orderlie at night. Next day bright. Get 24 for 25c to- day at the nearest Rexall or Liggett Drug Store.

NO GHOST" CITIES

Those dsgrunted ones and pessimsts who harp on the fact that Alaskas population has been dwndllng (which is probably the at present) and who say Alaskas gold supply is practically exhausted that there will never be any more big gold camps in the Territory will get pleasure from the report of the Director of the Mint which shows that Alaska was sec ond in gold production in 1928 taking second place to California; and that the gold output for the entire na tion showed an increase of nearly million dollars.
 California; with inhabitants numbered in millions produced 523429 ounces of gold while Alaska, with in habitants numbered in thousands, produced 33O,6O4 ounces. As per capita showing Alaska undoubtedly beats any part of the country in the amount of gold mined per person in spite of the difficulties of the game in this northern country.
 Although some of the bonanza camps had their hec- tic days of great production and sank into decline be- they could mine only the richest deposits notably Nome and Fairbanks, these camps are rapidly coming back and Fairbanks will undoubtedly add another S15O 100000 the flood of wealth she poured out in the boom days. Nome is increasing her production again this year as new methods are being adopted and there is scarcely camp in Alaska that is not holding it's or is on the upgrade.
 There are no "Ghost Cities" in Alaska In addition there the finds that being added to the list of potential producers every year indicating to any fair-mnded man that the dissemination of precious metals throughout Alaska is almost universal particu larly gold and only ngrained pessmistic "diehard would prophecy that there will be no more big gold camps in this great Territory.

WIFE 0F AVIATOR
 MERRILL BELIEVES
 HUSBAND STILL ALIVE

ANCHORAGE, Oct, 5, (P)-W While search is still continuing for Rus sell Merrill, and many are ready to give him up as lost, Mrs Merrill is facing the situation with the forti- tude and courage characteristic of Ia pioneer and soldiers wife.
 No, cannot feel that Russell is dead" said Mrs. Merrill yesterday to a representative of The Gateway. TT am still of the belief that he has been forced down in the rough country beyond the main range of the mountains He has often been compelled to make detours to avoid fog and it is my belief that this has been the case and that he is somewhere on the watershed of the Kuskokwim river. He had supply of food sufficient to last considerable time, an axe and a re- volver. While prepared fof the worst, I shall continue to believe that Russell is alive and will even tually make his way to some point of communications
 If Mrs. Merrills theory is correct, it n7Ny require many weeks for the l~ct oi1oo to arrive at some point of c -lnurication If he came down iG a glacier country, or swamps his progress would be slow in walking out. He would have to reach point having wireless connections or come into contact with trappers or natives Mrs. Merrill pointed out that the routes traversed by Russell were over stretches where there are neither whites or natives.
