PANAMA HAS EIGHT
LEAGUE BULL TEAM
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
PANAMA, Feb. 8—With the be
ginning of the dry weather which
lasts until May, the baseball season
on the Canal zone began In earnest
with the formation of a new eight team
league. All the players are either
employes of the Panama Cannl or
enlisted men In the various military
organizations stationed on tho Isth
mus. Already a number of games
have been played, enough to show that
the teams are verly evenly matched
and thnt the race for the pennant
likely will prove a very close and in
teresting one. The games are usually
played on Sundnys and holidays, a
regular schedule having been pre
pared.
Every team is pledged to refrain
from professional practices, and bet
ting on the games is absolutely for
bidden by the Panama Government
which will dimiss any one fron Its
services found guilty of doing so .
Immediately after the formation of
the new- league Col. George W. Ooe
thals, governor of the Panama Canal,
announced thnt he would not only
present the winning team of the sea
son with a handsome pennant, but
would nlso give various valuable
prizes to individual players.
BOW IT TEELS TO BE
BLOWN UP Blf II MINE
(By Associated I’resH Correspondence)
LONDON, Jan. 23—A member of the
crew of the steamer Linarl, which was
sunk by a mine in the Nortti Sea, sends
to relatives here an account of "how
it feels to be blown up by a mine.”
He says:
“It seemed exactly like a cart going
over a brick. Everyone was shot off
his feet, the forepart of the ship was
thrown Into the air, the Iron bulk
heads flew to pieces, and the wind
lass went over the bows. The in
struments on the bridge were shat
tered, lamps fell, tables were blown
out of their sockets, and dishes went
sailing In all directions. All this at
exactly the same Instant. The cap
tain and first officers were lifted off
the bridge and landed on their faces
on the deck below. Only two men
were hurt, however; they were both
in their bunks at the time."

BELGIUM TO BUILD
MORE BEAUTIFUL CITIES
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON. Jan. 23—Out of the ashes
and debris of devasted Belgium ideal
ists hope there will spring cleaner
and more beautiful cities, whether the
Belgians or the Germans build them.
The International Garden Cities and
Two Planning Association, co-operat
ing with Belgian officials held a con
ference in London this week to go
over the situation.
It is pointed out that the widespread
destruction of property In Belgium
affords a remarkable opportunity
throughout the country for adopting
on a large scale the principles of mod
ern towns and villages urged by the
association.

WAR IS WHAT SHERMAN SAID

The Dawson Daily News modestly
suggests to the merchants of that town
that it is supplying them with a sui>
erior news service, which is the truth,
but if that service In to be continued,
they, the merchants, must come
across with more patronage in the
of advertising. Never have the news
papers experienced such “hard sled
ding" as at present, on account of the
increased expenses due to the tolls
on the war news.

BUENOS AIRES
THE LATEST
Now that Uncle Sam ha* started
the ball rolling for the big railway
system in Alaskn, on which It ha*
been decided to spend $35,000,000,
further projects are being mooted of
connecting the Northland with the
extreme Southland by means of a
Pan-American railway which wUl
traverse Central America and all of
the North American and South Amer
ican region from Fairbanks, Alaska,
to Buenos Ayres. Delobel, formerly
of Dawson, agitated for a long time
in connection with French capitalists,
assisted hy Capt. Mealy, John Hosene
and others, for a railway to connect
the Pan-American system with the
Bering straits and to cross the straits
and connect in Siberia with the great
trans-Siberian system. It was pointed
out what advantages it would be to
have a vast system connecting the
midland of Canada and the United
States with the northern coast, so
carried on, if desired, against a com
mon foe from across the Pacific, and
the idea of ramifications In all direc
tions after the line passed from Daw
son enlarged an infinitum.
Now that the American railway
system in Alaska has been undertaken
by the government, some are coming
forward hoping for all the Northland
to be spanned and lines to radiate
from that center to ever portion of this
hemisphere and to connect eventually
with the systems spanning Asia and
Europe and to connect with Africa.
Popular Mechanis gives a late ver
sion of the dream as follows:
The stimulation of commerce be
tween North America and South
America, due to the European war,
has revived interest In the project of
an all-rail route connecting the United
States with the countries of the south
ern hemisphere. When this plan Is
carried out, as it Is almost certain to
some day, for strategic as well as
commercial reasons, it must be ex
tended to include a railway connection
with Alaska, where the United States
government now has surveying parties
In the field selecting routes for a rail
wfay system to develop the resources
of that country.
Such a railway, reaching continu
ously from the great plateau of Con
tral Alaska to the pampas of South
America and beyond would constitute
the biggest enterprise of its kind ever
undertaken, If It were not that more
thau half of the line has already been
built and is in operation.
Since the surveys for the Pana
American railways were made there
has been a steady development in
railway building In South America,
particularly in Peru, Bolivia, Chill and
Argentina, so that much of the work
planned at that time has already been
done. That portion of Western Can
ada lying east of the Coast range,
formerly considered a forbidding coun
try, wtith an Arctic climate, has been
invaded by two trunk line railways,
and its resources are being rapidly de
veloped.
Half dozen different routes would
be available for forming the link
through the United States. Over a
route passing down the Pacific coast to
El Paso. Texas, and thence through
Mexico City to AJutla, the total dis
tance by rail from Fairbanks, Alaska,
to Buenoji Ayres, Argentina, would be
about 12,700 miles. About 7,000 miles
of this distance Is covered by existing
railways, leaving about 6,00 miles to
be built. On the basis of a liberal es
timate the entire undertaking could
probably be completed for less thnn
$300,000,000.
Every variety of climate, from Arc
tis to tropical, as well as topographical
conditions of the most diverse kind,
would be encountered in building and
operating such a line.
Owing to the difficult construction
and the long gaps to be filled, by far
the biggeest expenditures will be re
quired in building through Central
America and the northern part part of
South America. This Is the portion of
the line surveyed and estimated for
the Pan-American railway.

WHALES ARE DRIVEN
NORTH BT THE WAR
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
CHKIBTIANIA, Feb. 8—The war
has filled the Antarctic with whales,
according to the belief of some whalers
who say the mines, torpedoes and
shells In the North sea have driven the
mammals In schools further north
this winter. One of the large Nor
wegian whaling companies hns just
distributed a dividend of 25 per cent,
among shareholdrs on this reason's
catch. The whale oil refineries of
Norway are sharing this prosperity.
While the whales are bringing
wealth to Norway, the report of the
department of nrgriculture is dlsap
pointing as to the amount of crops
yield, which falls about $2,000,000 be
low the average year. Fortunately,
the quality of grain has been unusallj
good, and the higher price due to the
war is to the advantage of the farm
ers. The economic loss, however,
will be felt by the country. Hay and
potatoes were the only crops renching
their normal yield.

EMPEROR UiERSTOOO
CLEVER MOVE MSDE
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
BERLIN, Jan. 23—“Roland von Ber
lin” brings the following anecdote con
cerning the Emperor and a general
designated as “B”.
During his recent trip to the Eastern
theatre of war, the Emperor paid a
visit to the general in question, and
showed the keenest Interest in, and
most Intimate knowldge of, what the
irmy corps commended by "B" had
lone. The corps in question was one
bf the very best, said the Emperor to
the General in the presence of the stafT
officers, and he hoped that it would
continue its fine work.
The conversation had taken place in
the building in which the headquart
ers of the general were located. After
shanking hands with the officers, the
Emperor left, accompanied by General
‘B.” and some of his aides.
When the party reached the door
it was found that several thousand
Itussian prisoners were being march
ed past. For a moment the Emperor
watched the procession, then, with a
broad smile on his face, turned to
General “B" with the words:
“I will say. General, that this is
cleverly done.”
The smiles of the Emperor grew
wider yet when the embarrased Gen
eral “B” tried to explain that 'it all
was an accident.
