A NOTABLE SERIES.

The World Series of Baseball for 1881 was one that will go down in the history of that sport as one of the most thrilling, most sensational and most evenly matched on record While a sevan-game of baseball is too short to furnish conclusive proof of the supremacy of club another it is evident that the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League played better ball than it's Am ercan League rivals the Athletics, in the contests just ended. Whether they could maintain four to three lead over the latter throughout entire season is another matter-and a highly debatable enc
 Everything that goes into the making of a thrilling baseball game present at tino or another in the 1881 classic. There the heralded recruit who stole the spotlight from the stars in hitting. baserunning and fielding featuring Pepper Martin Cardinal csnterfieder. Inside base ball and old-fashioned slugging mixed in just the proper proportion to make the series a we'll seasoned show There great feats of pitching by the four rival aces-Halahan and Grimes for the new World Champions and Grove and Earnshaw for the Athletics. Any fan who failed to find satisfaction in the series is indeed hard to please.
 As for the outcome itself it was splendid thing for the good of the sport The Athletics en- tered the series a top-heavy favorite after canter- ing home in their league to third successive pennant without close second. Experts cal cuated them a two to bet to win the series from St. Louis. And majority of the wise sports writers and ball players predicted freely that Connie Mack would emerge from the test with the third Worlds Championship in succession-the first man. ager to accomplish that feat
 One-sided races of any sort are seldom interest ing If there is any field in which life depends upon competition it is in sports and more especially in baseball. Attendance fell in American League circles this year because of the runaway race the Athletics made. Fans, even in St. Louis where they take their ball seriously, were ethargic over the ser.es al the outset because it was felt that the American League champions had big edge over The Cardinals. The victory of the latter will un- 6ouotediy to stimulate greater interest in the game. both among players and fans. It was the be- thing that could have happened for the good Of maj jor league baseball.

Not Abdicated.
Boston News Bureau0

There is ancient reign of twin or consort sometime the one, sometimes the other dominating-which will not go the recent way oi some other And this in spite of some recent assumptions of an abdication That twin reign is of supply and demand.
 Discussing it, Pres. Whitney of the New York Stock Exchange adds another address Of interest clarity and comprehensivenass. Its announcements are of plain common sense,' in a day ol e2- travagant panaceas for depression.
 He well reminds that time and hard thinking must be given economic problems. Parrot-like repe- tition Of optimistic slogans and catch-words must be left behind if difficulties to be solved And hard thinking early reveals that the ancient law of supply and demand has not been abolished For we have learned at the expense of critical business depression that there must come time when 1t longer be circumvented.
 Price changes may crush our fondest hopes and our dearest illusions, says the Stock Exchange head but they bring us back to economic realities And in the long run price dictates production and demand Higher price-greater producton-low de- mand; lower price-smaller production-larger de- mand Price must act the delicate balance. And, chief determining factor in the equation, price must be natural not artificial.
 "The integrity of prices must be protected from "well-intended yet dangerous and uneconomlc inter- ference" says MT. Whitney possibly with an eye to Washington legislators reconvenng in December) Political interference with wheat and other prices neither afforded prosperity nor held up the price Many ll-considered suggestions have been advanced to stop decline in share prices,-none of which will permit free and open market and any Of which would prevent rather than assist, genuine recovery
 On the calibre of present industrial leader ship sad to relate, President Whitney and owen D. Young are apparently agreed Says MT. Whit ney: "The current situation has not been improved by the weak and uncertain counsel which the public has received from business leaders themselves Says Owen D. Young ITO the insistent calls for industrial leadership in these disorganized times there has been discouraging silence"
 But time and hard thinking may produce better industrial leadership as well better times

 AMONG SCHOOLS

 Are Now Tn Effect

Rules for interscholastic contests among teams representing high schools in Southeast Alaska have been reduced to printed form and were made public here yesterday by R. s. Raven, superintendent of the Juneau public schools. The rules were adopted at the recent meeting in Petersburg of athletic coaches and other representatives of high schools in this part of the Territory, and are effective for the current scholastic year.
 The new rules ought to recom- mend themselves to all persons interested in interscholastic com petitions" said Mir. Raven. South east Alaska is definitely divided into three districts, Lynn Canal. Gastineau Channel and Southern, and provision Is made by the pro cess of elimination for determining the best contestant.
 No Eligibility Trouble
 Another praiseworthy feature is the provision that before any con- test the principals or superintend- ents of participating schools must exchange lists of the eligible con- testants. Thus questions of eligibil- ity will be raised and settled be- fore instead of after contests
 The rules follow;

CALIFORNIA LAW CHECKS WASTACE
 OF NATURAL GAS

SAN FRANCISCO Cal, Oct. 13. -California's two-year- gas con- servation laws has corrected the wastage situation termed by Secre- tary Ray Lyman Wilbur shocking to the national sense" to a point where consumption of natural gas may soon exceed production.
 The conservation law, first of it's kind in the nation and the volun- tary cooperation of producers. cut the total production to 209 ,000,0 ,00O,- 900 cubic feet for six months of the year from 289,0O0, 100000 for the same period in 1880. Railway com mission figures disclose that pro- duction was cut 273 per cent and wastage an even 61 per cent.
 Construction of a new pipe line to tap the Kettleman Hills field for the transportation of gas to the Los Angeles area is expected to bring consumption to a figure ex- ceeding the present fixed supply.

Ref0restation Begun
In M'Henry County

Reforestation of the sand hills of
McHenry county has been undertake
en- by the federal forest service, &C
cording to c. S. Bates, silviculturist
in charge of the project, for the Co.
tober issue of the North Dakota
Outdoors" published by the state
game and fish department here.
The undertaking, Bates says, is to
be carried out in cooperation with the
North Dakota School of Forestry
which has its forest-tree nursery at
Bottineau.
"This venture" says Mr.. Bates,
which for several years will be treat
ed only as an experiment, until the
most successful method can be worked
out, is based upon the rather phe-
nomenal success of coniferous tree
planting in the sandhills of north
central Nebraska where the soil is an
almost pure quartz sand. The Ne
braska project has been under way
since 1908 and now shows many thou
sands of acres of pines advancing to
the size of posts and small poles"
