YANKS ACQUIRE INFlELDERS
Despite Best Efforts Five Other
Clubs Have Not Filled
in Gaps
Editors Note: (This is the first
OF two stories reviewing major
league shakeups and prospects for
1892. Saturday there will be a
roundup Of the National League).

New York, Jan. 8.-(R-satisfied
his Philadelphia Athletics still are the
class Of the American League, Connie
Mack has decided to stand by his
guns in 1892.
A survey Of the Associated Press in
dicates the AS alone of eight league
contenders will face the wire in April
with exactly the same lineup that
closed the 1881 race.
The New York Yankees have pur-
chased a couple Of expensive young
infielders. Jack Saltzgaver and Frank
Crosetti. to plug up what Manager Joe
Mccarthy regarded as his only seri-
GUS weakness.
Washington obtained Carl Reynolds
from the White Sox He is expected
to prove the answer to Walt Johnson's
plea for a smuggling, right-handed out
field.
Despite their best efforts, the five
other clubs apparently have not been
able to acquire what it takes.
Three of them-Cleveland, Detroit
and st. Louis-promise to be little, If
any, stouter than last year.
The Browns did not make a single
trade. Cleveland is thinking Of shift
ing Eddie Morgan to the outfield and
putting Bruce Cannatser from New
Orleans at first. Detroit, sorely In
need of batting strength, hopes to
find 300 hitter or two among its
newcomers.
The winters biggest upheaval &C.
Cured at Chicago, following the death
of the "Old Roman" Charles Comis-
key, and the elevation of his son,
Louis, to the club presidency. DOME
Bush has been replaced by Lew Fon-
SEGA as manager.
Under Fonseca-s influence. the club
did some fancy trading at the annual
meeting, and, in the opinion of many
observers, did itself some good.
Should the Boston Red SoX con-
tinue to improve as they did under
John Collins last season, they might
very well prove a sensation.

trouble making the class limit of 126

poundage but not without difficulty.
He weighed 1851 pounds for his

SUBSIDIZING OF STEAMSHIP

Congressional Record
(Continued from last week. M. The Robert Dollar Lines

The Dollars also own three trans-Pacif1c lines, viz: On e from San Francisco to Manila, one from Seattle to Manila, and one from San Francisco in "the round the world" service. With respect to each of these, also, 1t has received extensive financial aids from the United States in the low sales prices of vessels sold it, in the grant of loans at very low rates of interest, and in the award of ocean mail con : tracts at excessive rates.
 (a) Sales prices: The board las sold it 15 vessels in all. These were built after the World War and are among the finest the United States has built. Their cost exceed $84,OO0,OOO. Tn e y have been sold to the Dollars for $12,775,0OO. While construc- tion cost does not represent mar ket value, the sales price was hardly one-third of their true market value, a concession being made to promote their operation ill foreign trade.
 (b) Loans: Nearly $13,OOO,OOO has been loaned the Dollars - entirely apart, of course, from the unpaid purchase money on the vessels sold it. Of this a. mount, S1O,575,OOO has been loaned for 20 years to aid ill building two large vessels. One half of it (i. e., $5,287,5OO) has

been loaned at the abnormal low rate of l per cent per annur1, and the other half (i. e., $5,287,- 500) at the ridiculously low rate of one-quarter of 1 per cent per Iannum. The average interest rate on the public debt of the United States is nearly sixteen times the one-quarter of 1 per cent rate. The interest loss to the United States will exceed $2,45O,O00
 Co Postal contracts: Three ocean mail contracts have been awarded them for 10 years: Route 25, between San Francisco ard Manila; Route 26, between Seattle and Manila; and Route 27, the round the world service. The amount being paid at pre- sent will be greatly increased in the future; but even on the basis Of the present fleets they will be about $38,0O0,OOO. The transpor- tation value of the mail in fact carried, tested by results down to June 30, 1881, will be only about one-eighth of the compen- sation in fact paid.

 Line
 This line operates between New York and South Africa. IL was sold the Roosevelts and the Franklins by the Shipping Board.
 (a) Sales Price: The five ves- sels sold it are about 4O9 feet long and $500 tons gross. The total sales price was $777,OO0. Their construction cost h c United States over $9,OOO,OO0. Hence the sales price is not 10 per cent of their cost. Their mar ket value is less than their cost; but their market value greatly exceed the sales price, a conces-
 ion being made to promote their operation in foreign trade.

READ ALL OF THIS OR NONE

It is gloomy moment in his tory. Not for many years-not in the lifetime of most men who read this paper-has there been so much grave and deep appre- hension; never has the future seemed so incalculable as at this time. In our own country there lis universal commercial prostra- tion and panic, and thousands ot our poorest fellow citizens are turned out against the ap- preaching winter without en- ployment, and without the pros Ipect of 1t.
 In France, the political cal dron seethes and bubbles with uncertainty; Russia hangs, os usual, like a cloud, dark and silent upon the horizon of Eu rope; while all the energies, re- sources and influences of the British Empire are sorely tried, land are yet to be tried more |sorely, in coping with the vast land deadly Indian insurrection, and with it's disturbed relations in China.
 It is solemn moment, and no man can feel an indifference (which, happily, no man pre- tends to feeD in the issue of events.
 Of our troubles no man can see the end. They are, fortunate ly, as yet mainly commercial; and if we are only to lose money, and by painful poverty to be taught wisdom-the wisdom of honor, of faith, of sympathy and of charity-no man need seri- ously to despair. nd yet the very haste to be rich, which IS the occasion of this widespread calamity, has also tended to de- stroy the moral forces with which we are to resist and sub- due the calamity.
The Alaskan., 1932-06-24

Good friends-let our conduct prove that the call comes to men who have large hearts, however narrowed their homes may be;
 who have nothing but manhood, strong in it's faith in God, to rely upon; and whoever shows him. self truly a GOd-fearing man now, by helping wherever and however he can, will be as bless ed and beloved as a great light in darkness.
 Now comes the remarkable fact What you have just read was not written yesterday, about the condi- tion of today-but is a verbatim re- print of an editorial which appeared In Harper's Weekly on October 10, l1S57.
 July of that year was normal September marked the beginning of depression. This editorial appeared in October. Seventeen months later, in March of 1859, business was back lat normal again.
 'Of aour own troubles no man can see the end" They said it in 1857,

THE COST OF WAR

 MT. HATFIELD. Mir. President

MT. HATFIELD. Mir. President, German mathematician has recently observed that the World War resulted in casualties of IT,. 100000 killed 9 nd d 19,00O, ,00O maimed, with an expenditure of more than $5O0,OO0,OOO,O0o, a sufficient amount of money to tuy a $2,5OO home in a 5-acre plot with $1,25O worth of furn,- ture, for each and every family in the United States, Canada, Australia, England, Belgium, France, Russia, and Germany and in addition a hospital, uni versity and schools, including the salaries of teachers, nurses, doctors, and professors, for every group of 10000 inhabitants.
 With this enormous sacrifice of human lives and wealth it IS no wonder the world is now ex- periencing a reaction and is in a distressed condition, and even in this glorious country the need of relief is keenly felt and must he met.-Congressional Record.

of New York; in aid of which Ithe board loaned it $1, ,350,O00 at 1878 per cent for 20 years-a rate lower than the average interest cost of the public debt. The in- terest loss exceeds $7,00O per |annum.
 Co Postal contract: Route No. 6, New York to South African ports, for 10 years. This contract will yield the line over $2,600, ,OO0. The transportation value of the mail, in fact, carried between
 October .27, 192S, and June 30,

 This line is owned by the At lantic Transport Co.,, which in

INVESTIGATIONS

For a long time the Alaska Native Brotherhood has made effort to have complete and honest investigation of the fish cries of Alaska. Congressmen have come and gone-on the Bureau of Fisheries yachts and cannery tenders and steamers without cost, investigated the statements of canners and their cohorts and clickers and clack- CTS and returned to Washington saying that everything was nice and rosy and that the people of Alaska are satisfied with the ad- ministration. An occasional re- preSentative like Congressman John Rankin of Mississippi come with an open mind and they do not let the toe-kissing syco- pnants make them lose their perspective and equilibrium. In the main, more harm is done by the investigators than good because the officials and their henchmen see to it that the in vestigators are not given a chance to meet with the "com- mon herd"
 The Brotherhood is tired of financing the fight for better fishing conditions-they have worked these years for a general betterment of the fishery situa- ton and they have asked for no special favors for themselves. They are now at the turn of the road when they will seek legis- lation and aid from Congress for themselves. They expect some time during this summer to con- dnct an Investigating tour of prominent citizens of the east through the cannerieS and fish, ing camps without the interfer- ence of the bureau of fisheries or the canners. Whatever the report will be it will be nearer the truth than has ever been ar rived at by the men who have studied the situation through the eyes of the buric rats and their henchmen.
 Out of this investigation will come reports that will mean much to the native people of Alaska. If the others benefit, well and good-if the effort is con- tinued in the interest of these native people, no one can blame them for they have fought and financed the fights for the past twelve years without any help from other labor interests. They Will be duly rewarded and every one should be satisfied.
