IBIS YEAR
The total value of the exports from
Alaska of Alaskan products will ex
ceed the seventy million dollar mark
this year, according to figures and
estimates just compiled by J. C. Pugh,
collector of customs. The export* for
the past nine months have already am
minted to a grand total of $48,653,402,
which is only $682,281 less than the
total exports for the entire year of
1915, which were $50,335,683.
With the figures still incomplete,
$70,000,000 for a grand total is con- I
sidered a conservative estimate. The
canned salmon has been moving but
a short time and the entire pack from
the Bristol bay section has not been
included in the report, and the returns
from all other sections are incomplete.
II is known that the exports of gold
and silver will be greatly increased
within the next three months, and it
is estimated that $5,000,000 worth of
copper ore will yet be exported this
year.
The following table has been pre
pared for publication by the customs
house force. Included in the state
ment are two products which have
never neiore appeared in a report, an
!imony ore and tungsten ore. The
.alue of the copper ova exported from
Alaska to the United States and Can
ola has already reached a total of
125,108,847, while the entire year's
shipments of copper last year amount
'd to hut $12,354,163.

NEW VOItK, Oct. 5. — The twenty
ifth struggle for world's series base
tall honors and the twelfth under the
•ontrol of the National Basebail Com
nission will bring together two east
ern clubs as has been the case each
■-ear since 1911. With Boston, win
ters of the American League pennant,
md Brooklyn, the victors In the Na
lonal League race as contenders, the
tattles for the premier honors of the
trofessional diamond will revive me
norles of similar contests in which
hese clubs have figured in the past.
The Boston Americans since their
tntry Into the junion league In 1901
lave won the pennant four times, not
ncludlng the present season, and have
competed for the world’s title three
imes. in 1903 the team captured its
'irst pennant and then defeated the
Pittsburg Nationals In an eight game
terles by five games to three. The
lollowing year the team repeated its
eague victory, but the New York club,
winner of the National League pen
lant, would not permit its players to
contend for the world’s championship,
which action eventually led to th«
National Commission taking charge oi
the world’s series. In 1912 and 191G
the Boston Americans again won the
IDAHO WOMAN
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. K. — Idaho Is th<
first state In the Union to have t
woman as candidate for Its chief exe
cutive, Mrs. Annie K. Trlplow, of Wei
ser having Just been placed at th«
head of the Socialists' state ticket a'
the recent party convention. She in
tends to make an active campaign foi
the office and expects soon to opet
right to play In the series ami defeat
ed the New York Nationals and the
Philadelphia Nationals respectively by
scores of four to three, with one tie
contest; and four games to one.
Although Brooklyn has figured in
major league baseball for twenty-six
years as against Boston's fifteen, the
. Superbas have won but three pennants
; and have never played in a world's
I series under the modern meaning of
that term. Brooklyn entered the Na
tional League in 1890, and signalled
! its debut by straight-way capturing tin
flag. At the end of the season the
team met the laiulsville club, chain
plons of the American Association, in
the world's series of those days, and
the contest ended In a seven game
tie: each club winning three games
with another tied when darkness put
an end to the play. In 1899 and 1900
Brooklyn was the National League
champion, but as the Temple Cup ser
les had been abandoned and the pres
ent series not yet established, the Su
perhas were unable to find opponents
for a titular combat.
While Brooklyn was deprived of the
opportunity to compete for the cham
pionship In past years, the present se
rles offers the club a chance to bring
the National League hack on an equal
footing with the American League in
the matter of world's series won. At
the present time the record shows thai
the junior league clubs have won six
out of eleven series played since the
National Commission assumed con
trol of the baseball classic. The score
stands as follows American League
Philadelphia Athletics 2, Boston Bed
Sox 2, Chicago While Sox 1; National

EFFORT TO STOP
WHITE SLAVE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. — A nation
wide crusade, including Alaska
against the white slave traffic and
other forms of commercialized vice,
has been launched by the United
States government The federal bu
reau of investigation and the bureau
of internal revenue have joined forces
in this new effort.
Contrary to popular belief, the white
slave traffic throughout the country
has not fallen off, but if anything, has
Increased during recent years, accord
ing to the bureau of investigation. An
average of one new case a day is re
ported.
The campaign against white slavers
in New York City was largely respon
sible for bringing about the new con
erted action of the federal bureaus
Taking valuable clews from Prosecu
tor Swann's investigation in New York
the federal agents plan to scour the
country in an effort to reduce the
vicious traffic.
Experience of both bureaus, work
liter iflllohOllHntillv Huu uhouti that tha
white slave traffic drugs are busi
nesses almost invariably carried on by
the same coteries of criminals. White
tla\ers are drug addicts to a large
lahit forming drugs in obtaining vlc
•ims for their traffic, the independent
nvestigations of the two bureaus have
onclusively shown
Evidence gathered by the two bu
reaus will be compared and if tbe
taels procured on one charge are In
sufficient to bring about conviction,
tbe other set of facts will be used.
By joining forces in this manner it
is believed a long step will be taken
in suppressing vies
BRONCHO OIOS
DENVER, Colo . Oct. 6. — Continued
demand for American horses by Brit
ish and French governments for use
on European battle fields has robbed
"broncho busting" of its glamour and
reduced thut time honored Industry
and feature of frontier celebrations
to the level of mere drudgery.
Hundreds of horses from all sec
tions of the Rocky mouutain region
ire purchased for European export at
the local sUnkyards daily, and many
other hundreds are rejected. Each
animal must be mounted and ridden
as part of the inspection, and noted
riders from many western states are
employed in the work Well known
"busters" who have won champion
ships in the past now are riding as
many as fifty horses a day.
Instead of the open range or the
paddock In view of cheering crowds
they ride In a narrow roofed enclos
ure with a critical inspector and one
or two assistants the only spectators
Several mattresses are fastened at
either end of the enclosure to soften
the fall of an occasional fear blinded
animal and his rider Several riders
have been hurt and one recently was
killed.
The supply of "gun fodder, as the
riders call the horses, seems unending
The standard of requirements has
been lowered somewhat when receipts
began falling off and horses are being
accepted uow that were rejected for
merly. Shipments continue to be
heavy, and weekly purchases often
run Into the thousands.
