Teams 10 Mix in Last
Game Of Night

The Elks will go up againSt Krause
tonight in the high school gym in
the first game of a doubleheader
to be night-capped by a mix be-
tween the Miners and the Haida.
Who Krause will have in uniform,
we haven't heard yet. Manager Jim
Barrie has had tough luck this sea-
son, having gone into the pre- season
practice schedule with real talent
that went south on him at the last
moment. Now, Jim has been looking
for more basketball artists.
The Elks will still play that
strong offensive team of which
Dick May is the mainstay.
Sammy Nelson's injured foot is
said to be well again, and it is hoped
Sammy will line up with the Miners
tonight against the Haida, but
whether Sammy turns out or not,
this contest is bound to be close.
Referee Bud Foster is leaving for
the south on vacation trip next
Monday, and resident of the
League Jack Fowler issued call
for applications for the job of toot-
ing the whistle.
Applicants for the referee job
must have written applications mail
ed to Fowler by Thursday noon SO
the applications may be considered
at meeting of managers after the
Thursday night basketball games.

PARALYSIS
NATIONAL
Presidents Birthday Ball
Saturday Night Is
Helping Cause

1.-THE national fight against Infan-
tile Paralysis which was started
twelve years ago has at last reached
permanence. size and organization,
which am sure must make you feel
that the time has arrived when we
all mean business in bringing In
fantile Paralysis under control and
perhaps some day stamping it out
Harry c. Watson, Territorial Chair
man of the Committee for the Cele-
bration of the Presidents Birthday.
said today in an interview, COM
menting on the new $3.50 plan of
operation.
He continued: "On November 10,
the Trustees of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis un-
animously voted for the establish
ment of permanent Chapter plan
The Trustees also recognized the
need for placing funds in the hands
of these National Foundation Chap
tiers SO that the local problems could
be combatted and immediate aid be
given to those suffering from this
terrible affliction.
I'VE have been advised that this
year the Territorial Chairman is to
divide the funds raised by the var
ious community efforts on a $3.50
basis. One-half will be sent to the
National Committee, and the Ter
ritorial Chairman will hold the other
half in trust, until the new Chapters
of the National Foundation embra-
cling the Territory are established.
Plans for establishment and proceed
ure of these Chapters will be sent
to all Chairmen after the campaign
for funds closes on January 80, 1899"
The local committee is perfecting
plans for the birthday dance to be
held Saturday night at the Elks Hall
and every one is urged to respond
generously by purchasing tickets
and attendance at the dance.
Sausages are mentioned In the
writings of the Greeks in the third

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT

And while we are at it. we hold
that the capitol interior could be
improved, even with a paint-sprayer.
The place was decorated by an Ital-
ian naturalist" with the result that
the walls are crawling with butter
flies, prairie dogs. coyotes, SPUR
rels, lizards and other vermin.
We once knew a photographer
who cleaned up on three year con-
tract with newspaper which paid
him 81 for every face appearing in
the pictures he made. The result
was that no man ever posed alone
IN that town and every print was
peck marked with gathering Rotari-
ans or protesting farm delegation
And that is the general appear
ance of the capitol. The place is
Uttered with drawings of ancient
plows, swords, pistols, printing press
es, leaves. cotton gins, flowers, ar
rows and trees.
One artist drew a picture of the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado ON
wall one flight up from Vice
President Carriers office. BY some
chance he found one spot unoccu-
pied by rock, or cloud, or visiting
tourist. He couldn't endure such
fragrant waste of space, so, honest
10 blazes, ne drew in a rattlesnake.

SAN FRANCISCO - Undismayed
by defeat of their Ham and Eggs
pension plan last November, Cali
fornia's senior citizens" have Or
gained a new campaign to put it
across.
"A shift of 10000 votes in total
of 2,542, 900 would have meant vic
tory" explains G. v. Hankins, North
ern California campaign manager.
ut also would have meant $50 every
Thursday for people over SO.
There is going to be another
election and this time we are going
TO win
Go After 217.O00 Backcrs
To get the proposal before the
voters again a drive for the required
217,000 petition signatures is just
getting under way.
If these are obtained, the issue
would come up no later than the
1910 state election. But the pension
people claim the new governor,
gilbert L. Olson, as a friend and
hope he will call special election.
The new draft of the constitu-
tional amendment which would be
required to put $30-every Thursday
into effect retains the essential fea-
ture of the original PLAN This is TO
pay the money in state warrants of
81 each, which would be liquidated
by affixing 2-cent stamps-bought
for cash--each week as the warrants
circulated in trade.
But there are several changes
Would Establish Bank
To meet criticism that the war;
rants would not be accepted gem
orally, thus begging down the entire
system. the revised plan calls for
state Credit Clearing bank, capt.
talized at $50,000.O00, as sure-fire
means of getting rid Of ones war
rants.
A bid for the big public employee
school teacher vote is seen in elim-N
nation of requirement that half
of salaries of that class be paid in
warrants-and further. the amend
ment now calls for an automatic
pay increase for public servants
whenever the cost of living goes up.
Today Ham and Egg offices
through the state hum with the
usual activity. The organization,
officially known as the Retirement
Life Payments association, claims
100000 members paying cent
day dues.

For 10 Years
Skagway Insurance
Sold Illegally

The story OF an insurance agent
who represented a Canadian COM
pany at Skagway for 10 years, SELL
ing insurance for all that period
without having license from either
the Federal government or the Ter
ritory, is revealed in the report of
Insurance Commissioner Frank A.
Boyle.
Since the activities of this agent
constituted a breach of the Federal
laws, according to Boyle, warrant
was issued last summer for his ar
rest upon his return to Skagway
from the Canadian Interior, but he
did not return.
Although the home office of the
company at Toronto denies having
written any business in Alaska,
Boyle says an investigation showed
it had written policies at Skagway
in every one of the 10 years the
agent was there and that it col
lected premiums on such policies.

Kristen Flagstad, famed Wag-

the Philadelphia Symphony Orches-
ira, under the baton of Eugene Or
mandy, is featured in a new role in
the February issue of the American
Magazine-that of guest editorial
contributor.
Nine. Flagstad expresses the con-
viction that no career for a woman
should come between her and her
family and home. 1T has always
seemed perilous to me for a woman
to put her career above everything
else. She will realize that she has
made a pretty poor bargain with
life says the Norwegian singer.
who is now at the top of the ladder
OF the operate world.
Nine. Flagstad is celebrating her
25th season in opera this year. yet
in 1880 she had decided to retire
from the operate stage and devote
more time to her growing daughter
and her husband. An unexpected
invitation to sing at Bayreuth was
the turning point in her career that
offered her a chance to be audi.
toned by the Metropolitan Opera
manager and the subsequent offer
to sing in the American opera house.
Speaking of the invitation to the
Metropolitan Opera, Nine. Flagstad
writes: 1T simply could not be re-
fused. You Americans have no idea
OF what an invitation to the Metro
politan means to us European art
lists. I accepted, and I was drawn
into new career before I realized
it,"
