The Kids school is the worlds only educational institution devoted entirely to all types. But not until this year did 1t become co-educa- tionai.
 Two days after the 1891 session opened, with % students in attend ance, the school enrolled it's first co- ed. Miss Jack Mitchell accom- panied by her father and mother, Dr and Mrs Joe $. Mitchell, arrived to take up the study of baseball. She brought her own uniform, shoes, cap and glove, and started work in earn est.
 Daxzy Taught Her
 Jack Is tall, muscular. rather good looking and left-handcd.
 When she was child. her par ents lived in Memphis, where one of their neighbors was Dazzy Vance. now Brooklyn's pitching ace, but then member of the Memphis team. He took fl fancy 10 the little girl next door who seemed more ln- fercsted in boys games than in dolls, and taught her to throw baseball.
 Then and there she decided to be basebaiPs greatest lady pitcher" and only once has she Wavered fin this determination. When Amelia Earhart made her ocean flight, Jack felt for time that she must be- come an aviatrix and fly over seas and continents and set speed records. But this was fieeting ambition.
 When her parents moved from Memphis to Chattanooga, Jack was one of the first members of the "En- gelettes," girls baseball team. managed by her father who once played professional ball himself. The "Enge1ettes" planned at first to limit their opponents to girls teams. but easy victories spurred their ana bition until finally they met sefni- professional aggregation of men. The game was played at Coppcrhill, Tenn, and the men won by slim margin. Jack pitched and held her opponents to q few scattered hits.
 Great Control
 She uses an odd. side-armed de- livery, and puts both speed and curve on the ball. Her greatest as- set, however. Is control. She can place the ball where she pleases, and her knack at guessing the weakness of a batter Is uncanny. The fact that she has Il good pitching arm Is proved by the ease with which she recently threw a baseball 2IJ feet by actual measurement. She also hits vol and during the past season had q batting percentage of 400.
 During thc two weeks she spent here it Kid EIberfeld's baseball

SWenSOn Has Good Winter at
 Farm Island

W. A. Swenson was in town this week from his homestead on Farm Island. He reports that he will have about five acres in garden this season,
 During the winter he and his young son Owen, completed new barn, built a skiff and got num- Der of odd jobs done besides getting the framework ready for S0-foot gasboat.
 MT. Swenson reports a big in crease in the number of their moose neighbors. Moose occasionally stray into the barnyard and make them selves at home all oven the place. They seem to have particular fond ness he says, for making headquar- ters in the willows and cotton woods about mile or two from the farm up the North Arm of the Cotton wood,

WOMEN PUBLISHERS

An itinerant scissors and tool sharpener, who calls himself the West Virginia Globe Trotter and who claims to have travelled 70.9a0 miles going from place to place dur ing the past twelve years, has been in Wfangell this week.
 When confronted with a woman in the Sentinel office after asking for scissors to sharpen, he seemed genuinely nstonished and when leaving said that Alaska was re- markable. He declared that in all of his 7O,O0O miles of travel in the States he encountered but three women running newspapers, then came to Alaska and found two wom- en less than 150 miles apart doing the actual work of publication He referred to Mrs. E. J. White of Stroller's Weekly, Juneau and the Sentinel publisher.
 Those who know the circum- stances know there is nothing re- markable about either woman Each one is simply carrying on to the best of her ability the work which during the past few months was taken from the hands of her husband In the newspaper busi- ness the first consideration, no mat ter how weary grows the way, is that "the paper must come out.

Lowe Party Forced Down At WhitehOrSe Leave
 Territory By Steamer

carry passengers and express in addition to the mail. Other contracts obtained by the company are from Anchorage to the Kenai Peninsula.
 Mr. Lowe believes the service which has been instituted between Fairbanks and Valdez will be a real benefit to the travelling public. An airplane meets each steamer northbound and southbound and brings passengers from Valdez to Fairbanks or vice versa in three hours. The fare per passenger is $100.
 The Pacific International Air ways has taken four year lease on the municipal hangar at Valdez. The Valdez airport was described as splendid one with runways $500 feet long.
 Those who travel by airplane to aud from the coast will save three days time," said Mir. Lowe. A person. or party could take off from Fairbanks even after the steamer left Seward and arrive at Valdez in plenty of time to board it. We believe. the route will be es- pecially attractive to commercial men.
 Arrangements have been made with the Richardson Highway Transportation Company and the Valdez Transportation Company whereby tourists can travel one way to the Interior by auto and the other by airplane at the same rate. I think it will bring many people to Fairbanks who other wise would not have the time to make the trip. Alaska Steamship Company vessels will stop at Val dez this summer both northbound and soutnbound, so there will be no difficulty about obtaining transportation from there"
 Leaving Fairbanks last week en- route to California, engine trouble caused a forced landing at White horse and the plane had to be left there. The party came by rail to Skagway where MT. and Mrs. Lowe and Barrows took passage on the Princess Alice for Vancouver and Morrison on the Alameda for Wran- gell.
 Morrison is returning to Tele- graph Creek on the next trip of the Harrington boats and will be occupied with his transportation business until new engine for the Fleetster arrives from the Paterson, New Jersey factory when he will proceed to Whitehorse to work on it's installation in the plane.
 At present the Pacific Interna- tional has five airplanas in Alaska, three at Anchorage and two at Fairbanks.
 Alex Holden, now flying between Fairbanks and Valdez, will be chief pilot in charge of the Yukon and Kuskokwim districts when the air mail contracts start October 1.
 Joe Barrows will be operations manager. He will fly MT. Lowe back to Alaska early in July and then will remain in the country super vising operations in various sec 'ons.

MANY DEER PERISH ON UNIMAK
 ISLAND

Reports coming from the west ward indicate that there has been rather heavy loss among the rein deer herds on Unimak island says the Anchorage Times. On a recent trip of the mail steamer Starr, passengers aboard the boat could see many of the animals piled up on the beach, where they had fallen from high bluff. They apparently had been foraging through the deep snow, unaware of the proximity of the edge of the high bank.
 It was estimated that hundreds of reindeer had perished as a result of falling to the beach, most of them having been killd outright and the others being so maimed that they starved to death.

Terhune Tells About Alaska Game Hunting

In the nineties gold was the lode stone that lured the people of the United States to Alaska, but today big game is the attraction. II. W .Terhune, executive officer of the Alaska game commission, says that sportsmen in the states answer Alaska's call of the wild annually, and in increasing numbers.
 While in Washington recently to confer with officials of the biologi- cal survey, United States department of agriculture, on policies for pre- sorNihg game in Alaska, Mr. Ter nune said that bear, moose, caribou, mountain sneep and deer are play ing an important part in bringing the peoples of Alaska and the states into closer relation.

Edward Lowe Jr., San Francisco millionaire owner of the Pacific International Airways, and Mrs. Lowe were passengers aboard the Princess Alice in port here south bound Tuesday evening.
 The Loves left Vancouver on November End with two planes en- route to Anchorage on six-weeks' Alaskan trip. At Telegraph Creek disaster overlook them when one ship crashed with Pilot Harry Blunt who sustained many painful injuries. An eight-place Fleetser monoplane piloted by W. J. Barrow, operations manager of the company, fell through the ice when taxing across Sawmill Lake. After being sub merged for five days it was put in running order by the end of the month.
 Joe Morrison joined the party at Telegraph Creek as mechanic and has been with the party ever since the six-weeks' cruising trip having heightened to one of five months. Morrison served as mechanic in the aviation corps during the World War and has been a valuable mem Der of the Lowe party.
 Lowe took off from Telegraph Creek shortly after New Years fly ing to Whitehorse and from there to Fairbanks. The flying time be- tween Whitehorse and Fairbanks was three hours and twenty min utes. They flew over the proposed international highway noute and believe it very feasible one. Four hours and a half were required for the flight between Fairbanks and Nome as they encountered head winds and storms. Since leaving Telegraph Creek they have visited every city in Alaska, including all the Yukon river points, the Kusko- kwim and Koyukuk river regions the Kenai Peninsula and Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes Bad weather conditions encountered at Nome made the intended Point Barrow trip impossible.
 The mild winter, MT. Lowe re- ports. made the trip harder in the interior. Instead of clear cold they had fog and wet snow as obstacles. At that, he claims Alaska flying in the winter is safer than in the States. A plane equipped with skis has a landing place every few minutes and is better off than one in the States with wheels.
 Awarded Mail Contracts
 The Pacific International Air ways was awarded eight air mail contracts in Alaska The principal ones are on the Yukon River routes. One contract calls for serv- ice from Nenana to Unalakleet and another from Nenana to Bethel. In the past these routes have been served sectionally by dog and horse stage operators.
 On the Yukon the contract calls for two trips a week with 1,2OO pounds of mail including all classes except parcel post. Because of the large weight requirement MT Lowe said it would be necessary to secure ships large enough to
