Chapter 70 of the Session Laws of
Alaska. 1899, commonly known as
the Cocktail Bar" Act, became eff
feetiye June 7. By providing for
the sale of liquor by the drink, it
puts the oldtime saloon in operation
with the exception that liquor can
not be sold by the bottle or carried
from the premises of the so-ealled
Cocktail bars. Liquor stores must
continue to sell only in packages
and cannot sell by the drink.
The new law has not affected
Wrangell so far except that women
are now prohibited from tending
bar.
A recent letter from the city
council addressed to Mrs. Mary [.
Grant Mrs. w. B. Chisholm, Mrs.
Helen Ronning, l. A. Olsen, Tom
Fujita and John spath, owners of
beer dispensaries, carried the fol-
lowing Instructions:
THE City Council has been ad-
yised by the District Court that the
Interpretation of the above Act as
held by the District Attorney and
the Attorney General of Alaska is,
that such dispensaries operating I'M
der this Act may be owned by wom-
en-, but that such owner or owners
are prohibited from serving intoxi-
eating liquors in said dispensary
IN other words the interpreta-
ton is, that as soon as the owner
serves intoxicating liquors, she, the
owner, technically becomes an en-
ployee, and therefor serving by
owner, would be in violation of this
Act.

CIVIL SUIT DECIDED IN
FAVOR OF PLAINTIFF

In civil suit on May 81 held be-
fore U. S. Commissioner Richard
Suratt, Gilbert Miller, suing J. G.
Smith for s57997 with interest, to
recover money for labor performed,
costs and disbursements of the ac-
ton, the court rendered judgment

With court costs, the judgment
amounted to s410.55.

agreed to work for board and room
only. In the absence of a written
agreement to that effect the court
held that the law is always inter
preted in such cases that a mans
labor has a material value.
H Kittilsby, subpoened as a wit
ness, testified that Miller. before the
end of the canning season last year,
quit his job at the Diamond K can

ing application to the District
Court in the usual manner. The ap-
proyal of the city council must be
filed with the application, together
with surety company or cash bond
in the penal sum of $2,500.00.
The population of town or cum
munfty governs the license fee
which is fixed at $4,000 for pop
ulation of less than 300 and
100000 for a population over 1900.
Because those applying for a Ii
eense to become effective before
July 1 are required to pay a full
years license fee, and those apply
ing for a license effective on or at
ter July l, will be required to pay
only for half years license, Mrs.

SO far, is waiting until July 1 to
change over her beer dispensary in
the Wrangell Hotel.
Licenses Not Renewable
Present dispensary licenses carry
a fee of 5000 a year. They cannot
be renewed after December 81, 1899.
1t will not be necessary to serve
liquor with wine and beer, but it
will be necessary to pay the re-
quired license fee of $4,000 or
100000, according to population af-
ter December 81.
The Act provides that the prem
Uses for which such license is issued
shall not be connected by doors or
otherwise with premises covered by
any other license issued under these
regulations, but nothing in the Act
seems to prohibit the sale of mer-
chandise, tobacco, etc. on the prem

night. There are such matters to be attended to as bolstering your tackles and preparing your players for the darnest blocks they ever had put on them.
 It is also nice to have time enough to prepare your most violent packers for a defeat, because a glance at Sutherland's record shows that he doesn't lose many games.
 There are many knowing football souls around who say that Suther- land already has been signed for next year, an dthere are a few even more knowing souls who say that Sutherland has admitted as such. These latter say that he won't tell where for fear of embarrassing the coach now on duty. There have been many guesses as to where Suther- land will go. Right now the two schools in the lead in the guessing are navy and Stanford. But those are guesses, nothing else and inso- far as anyone knows the good doctor may align himself with North Buff falo school of applied design.
 If he does you may safely wager that before many years have passed North Buffalo school of applied de- sign will be belting the daylights out of this team and that team, and be in line for a Rose Bowl or sugar bowl or some kind of bowl bid.

New York, Oct. IT CUP)-Breathes there the coach with curiosity so dead, who never to himself hath said-I sure do wonder where that Sutherland is going next year.
 No, don't think you'd find such a coach anywhere in the country, and for two reasons. In the first place, a jobless Jock Sutherland is menace to any football coach who has a job, but who isn't doing a particularly brilliant piece of work. The standard of gridiron greatness that Sutherland maintained at Pitts burgh before that school went pure (Hear! HearD is no secret. It is known to every alumnus and ath- letic board of control from the At lantic seaboard to the. Pacific coast. And don't you think that the minds of the alumni and the men who fire football coaches won't turn to Suth- erland and his efficiency when they see their teams missing blocks, drop- ping punts, stalling in midfield and generally playing poor football.
 And don't you think the coaches who are not getting the most out of their material won't give Sutherland a thgought or, two, either. He is not a pleasant man to have around with out job. Doing bad job of coach- ing when he is available is like courting your girl with Clark Gable watching from the couch across the room.
 Not that Sutherland would ever try to get fellow coach's job. He is not that type. But no one could blame him for taking 8 spot of work if contract were handed him. After all, coaching is his business.
 Even secure coaches, working ur- der long contracts, are curious to know where Sutherland will land next year. They would like to know if he is going to a school. that IS on their schedule and if they are going to have to play his team. It is nice to know as far in advance as possible when you are goong to meet a Sutherland coached machine, be- cause you don't prepare for 1t over

Mize Second Choice of Writers, Frank McCor-
 mick 4th in Poll
By GEORGE KIRKSEY

tUmited Fress Stan COrrespon0entD New York, Oct. 17-(UP)-Wil- liam Henry Walters, who never wanted to be "a pitcher in the first place and who would go back to in- fielding tomorrow if the pay was the same, has ben named the most val- uable player in the National league for the 1889 season by Q commit tee of 24 sports writers, 1t was an- nounced today.
 Bucky Walters, teamed up with Paul Derringer to pitch the Cin- cinnati Reds to their first National league pennant in 20 years. The Baseball Writers association com- mittee composed of three sports writers from each National league city gave Walters a total of 3O3 points out of a possible 336. Two-Thirds Vote
 Eighteen gave Walters first place, | five awarded him second and the other one placed him flint. Walters succeeds his teammate and battery companion, Ernie Lombardi, who won last year with 229 points.
 Johnny Mize, St. Louis Cardinals first baseman and National league batting champion with an average of .349, placed second with total of 178 points.
 Paul Derringer, who led the Na- tional league pitchers with 25 vic- tories and seven defeats for a per- centage of .781, was third with 174 points.
 First Baseman Frank Mccormick of the Reds, who led the league in driving in runs, finished fourth with 159 points.
 Curt Davis, Cardinals pitcher who won 9 games and lost 16, fin- ished fifth with 106 points. Jimmy Brown, Cardinals infielder, finished sixth with 99 points.
 Walters, who won 27 games and lost Il, led the league in victories, in innings pitched with 319 and in complete games with 3l. He struck out 136 men and walked 109. r Amazing
 Tn many ways Walters career is one of the most remarkable in base- ball. He is the greatest converted pitcher in the history of the game; he came up as a third baseman, but was persuaded by Jimmy Wilson, then manager of the Phillies, to turn to pitching because Walters put more stuff on a throw from third to first than some of the players Wilson had in camp under the disguise of pitchers. Walters was opposed to Wilson's idea but agreed to try it because the Phils' manager emphasized 'there was gold in the mthar pitching hills."
