diary, it breaks my heart to re-
peat this, but several of the list
eners said they detected a note of
sarcasm in his remarks. Diary
dear, 1 just came right out later,
and asked MIR. Lauerman why he
had to get sarcastic about us two
well-meaning citizens. "Well,"
he says, 81 was not sarcastic. I
meant it. Mr.. Arnett is the law
and you are the publicity depart
ment and 1 like to keep in good
with both of YOU"
That, diary, is quite an order
as Mr.. Arnett and the Lam have
quite a struggle to even keep
in good with each other.

One Definition Sourdough Was
 Thought Good

What is the proper definition of a Sourdough? Out of a multi tude of conflicting opinions which arise when an attempt is made to define that original northern word, the Seattle Times some time ago carried the following to attempt to enlighten the Cheechacco. This definition was offered by J. R. Little, who spent some 36 years in Alaska and the Yukon:
 ''The word Sourdough", Little said, twas born back in 1887 when Dawson was called Fort Reliance and was nothing more than an Indian village with a few trap pers and 'squaW men. That was long before any real strike had been made in the KIondike. Sourdough was coined by a man named Charlie Hilty, who lived in the Forty Mile district of the Yukon valley.
 He believed that it was the use of baking powder in cooking that was causing scurvy and ill- ness among the miners and pro- spectors. After experimenting, he discovered that by putting some salt in a flour batter and setting it near the stove, it sour ed, fermented and rose like a yeast batter. He used the sour dough to make his bread, bis cults and fapjacks for a short time and noticed that his health improved.
 Y. o. o. P. Qualifications
 Forty Mile had a trading post, an Indian village and a popula- tion of 50 old prospectors and placer miners. These men organ ized the Yukon Order of Old Pioneers and were known as the Y. o. o. P.
 Charlie Hilty called a meeting of the organization and explain ing his beliefs and experiment, showed them how to mix the sourdough with flour batter as a substitute for baking powder.
 'It was at this meeting that the word sourdough originated. At the meeting they passed re- solution that any one wishing to become a member of their or ganization would have to be able to use sourdough to make bread, and f1apjacks, and would have to live in the Yukon valley long enough to see the river freeze up and break up.'"
 Went to Juneau in 1897
 Forty years ago Little came o Seattle from Montana, em- parked on the steamship City of Topeka to Juneau, where he worked until in April 1897. Landing on the beach at Dyea April 10 of the same year, Little egan his trek over the famous rail to the gold fields. He sled ed and packed his outfit over 1e summit of Chilkoot pass, built is boat by whipsawing lumber Lake Bonnet, crossed the lak- ], "shot" the White Horse and luaw rapids and Miles canyon Id boated his way down the Yu- m to Dawson, finally reaching

BR0WNSN|P YANKS
IN HOMER CONTEST
West Hits With Two On in

Di Mag Ties in 9th.

By the Associated Press
n YEW YORK, July 3l.-Farlond
M Gift and Sam West won a
Y battle Of homers with Joe Di
Maggie today and led the ST
Louis Browns to l0-inning o-to-6
victory over the Yankees.
The defeat, pinned on the Yanks
when West walloped round tripper in
the tenth inning with two mates
abroad to break a tie. cut the New
Workers American League lead to 5i2
games over the second-place White
Sox.
Di Maggie pounded out his twenty
ninth and thirtieth homers, getting
the former with the bases empty in
the eighth, and the thirtieth with two
aboard in he last OF the ninth to
throw the game into a tie.
Earlier. Bill Dickey had given the
Yanks their only other runs with his
eighteenth homer with one on base
in the second.
The Browns pecked away at old
Blubber Malone for run in the
fourth, tied it up with another in the
sixth. and went in front with another
in the eighth. Di Maggie then tied 1t
up again with his first homer.
Hadley Takes Beating.
IMMEDIATELY afterward, Cliff put
what looked like the finishing
touches to the game with a tremend-
Gus homer with two mates on base in
the first Of the ninth, but Di Maggie
evened things up again, with his sec
ond blow.
Joe Mccarthy sent Bump Hadley to
the mound in the tenth to try to stop
the betting Brownies. But, as usual
Hadley was ineffective and was
charged with the defeat on Vests
circuit clout. Oral Hildebrand, who
took over the Browns pitching assign
ment in the ninth after the Yanks
had belted Jack Knott and Elon Hog
sett out, was given credit for the
vict0rv
