Ketchikan’s
Game Fight
Can’t Win
Atitwitting that the Ketchikan
team was crippled, yet it is
doubtful if any other team that
could be sent from that hustling
village could go back home with
the bacon after a run-in with the
* Stewart boll team. The result
of last Sunday’s game on the
local grounds, when Stewart
won 10-7. gives a pretty good
line on the respective qualities
of the two teams.
In spite of the handicap of
not having their regular pitcher,
the visitors played a good game
and. except for the first two in
nings, it was dose, although the
Miners appeared to lay off and
the visitors to take advantage of
. it. The visitors were going
strong in the ninth and the
home boys had difficulty in head
ing them off.
After the first it looked so
easy that nobody could blame
Roy Priest’s crowd for taking a
holiday, but they holidayed too
*')ii .. Had they maintained the
airtight work they started with,
and which has marked most of
tin '" games, it is doubtful if any
combination in the Fishermen’s
hr e-up this season could have
„ altered the general result. At
the beginning, the local boys
were >n their toes, as Ketchikan
was figured to be hard picking
by reason of three victories over
Prince Rupert. But when Wright
who pitched the first inning was
found so easy, and Moose Bax
ter who relieved Wright in the
• second didn’t seem to have any
thing very intricate in his reper
toire, the Miners forgot their
snap and failed to remember
that the old boss among the vis
iting colts still had a flash of
form left. Even if his joints
did creak when he wound up he
pitched a heady game in spite of
the goat-getters Even the game
didn’t give him exercise enough
for afterward he had to tangle
with his catcher.
Tiny I)alv, the mainstay of
Stewart, pitched his customary
good game and whiffed fourteen.
Buchanan was in good shape,
too, and kept the big fd'ow
steady. Mountie Davies, t the
right sector, pulled four high
ones down and did some long
pegs home. Johnny McKnight
at second was dependable as
usual.
A dance for the players was
given Monday night at th« Ocean
View and the team’s bankroll
was improved some. Anna Er
land and Billy Orr sang and
assisted by Donald Flynn at the
piano widen.-d the paystreak.

Postmaster’s
Lot Is Not a
Happy One
The postmaster’s life sometimes
is not a happy one. Recently the
scribe caught Billy Orr with a pe
culiar expression upon his custo
marily beaming countenance 3nd
asked the reason.
“Oh mon, mon” he replied, “A’ve
juist ben compilin’ a leest o’ ques

o’ my stemp customers. Read it
an’ weep." Here is the list:
Is this the postoffice?
Is there any mail for me?
Is there a parcel for me?
My sister wrote that she had sent
me a parcel. Why is it not here?
Do you think it is lost?
Do you know where it is?
Why do letters marked Hyder
come to Stewart, and Why don’t
they send them over here?
There is a boat on its way in.
Will you see if there is any mail for
me?
Why doesn’t the Prince of Wales
carry mail?
Any little gas boat arriving in
port causes a rush on the postoffice
and the inevitable query: is there
any mail for me?
Pile of mail lying on the tiouF;
postmaster knee-deep in a stack of
newspapers, and: Oh, is the mail in?
Doesn’t it cause you a lot of
trouble?
Why don’t you get rid of it?
ft's funny ihat t ..even t had a: y
mail for weeks; will y.m look again?
Why doesn’t the Prince George
carry mail?
Doesn.t she come direct from Se
attle?
I wrote to — two weeks ago
and they haven’t received it. Do
you know the reason why?
Why cant you issue money orders?
Why haven't you no funds?
Why can’t you cash money orders?
Why is the eartii round?
Why do the stars shine?
Why does the ocean roll and
□ Why does the' postmaster per
spire and cuss? Tell me.

Autos Are
Operating
On Main St.
Autos and trucks are now runn
ing down Main street a; ar as the
Alaska cafe, tlie plank road connec
tion with International having been
completed. Several months ago
the Commercial Association had
this improvement inaier tfiscussim ,
and securer! i n est'imte of cost,
which exceeded F i unde ct iheir
command. However, after cun
plaint had been made to the Cana
dian custom# authorities about cars
stopping before they crossed the
line, the Hyder auto owners got to
gether, and aided by the finaiK al
baching of merchants who would be
benelitted by the improvement, am!
helped by a volunteer crew of pub
lic spirited citizens who were n t
afraid of hard work, they push.-u
the project through to a finish.
Frank Nagle, who brought the
first auto to Hyder and is now op
erating a transfer business, must
be given credit fur keeping the
crews together aui rect ug ; e
work, beside workin , ids track
overtime getting in piling and

Developing
ASask-in Claims
Rumors of very extensive devel
opment on the New Alaska have
become current during the ? t
week, and are causing mere • ri
ordinary interest because at the
fact that this is the most highly de
veloped property in this district on
the Alaskan side of the line. The
property is surrounded by equally
promising surface showings, and
steps are being taken for the dew !
opmerit of some of them. It is offi
cially stated that the President
group, acquired by Vancouver in
terests last winter, will have work
started upon it in a very short time.
K. M. Jacobs of Stewart has secured the agency for the House of
Hobbertine, famous Toronto tailors, and is ready to do business. Beside
understanding the selling end of the game, "Jake” has accumulated a
;iientei of northern friends who will sseure his success from the start.
