lias Helen Van Campen scraped the *
( mud of the Alaska coast from j4
the soles of her feet for good?
Her husband resigned his position *
ns the superintendent of the copper '
mine at Latouche months ago, and '
after a bear hunt near Kodiak. Mr. ■'
and Mrs. Van Campen left for the j *
outside and are now said to be resid- 1
ing in Seattle. 1
Van Campen began life ns a hard 1
rock miner In much the fashion of '
one of bis wife's favorite heroes. He '
i
earned his way through college at
the end of a tnuek stick, and then
! went to Nevada to work. He came
i-1
to Latouche to work ns mine foreman
under his friend Seagraves, and after
Superintendent Kmory resigned at
Kennecott and Seagraves was given
charge of both mines. Van Campen
became the superintendent at La
touche. He resigned about a year ago.
Before her marriage to Van Camp
en, Helen Van Campen was Helen
Green, and she wrote a series of de
partment girl stories for the Saturday
evening Cost that were much missed
when she came to Alaska. At La
touche she caught the real Alaska
pictures and painted real Alaska men.
Jack London and Rex Beach were
I. merely passersby in Alaska, and their
s heroes were more of the species
i heroes than of the species men, and
their pictures of Alaska were pictures
of the fleeting period which marked
ihe gold rush. Mrs. Van Campen re
fleeted life ns it is on the southern
i Haska coast today, and did it faith
fully. If it Is true that she has left
\laska permanently, It will be a mat
ter of grave regret to the Alaskans
who read the magazines — a class
which Includes practically all the
residents of this territory, Mrs. Van
i Campen hud come to mean as much
to Alaska as Riley did to Indiana, as
I. much us William Allen White does
e i to Kansas and more than Howells
j ever meant to Boston.

the Alaska Steamship Company, the
Braden Copper Company in Chile, arid
included the Guggenheim stock in the
Ctah Copper and Nevada Consolidated
some of the stock of the new company
was offered to the Guggenheim om
ployees, and Van Campen invested his
savings. With the rise of copper, he
acquired a sufficient competence to
keep the wolf from the door of the
Van Campen family for the rest of
Its life, oven without the handsome
emoluments Mrs. Van Campen re

NEW YORK. April lit. — If reports
from pro season contests In which the
Giants participated are worth any
thing, Denny Kauff, the blushing vio
let of the Federal league, stands a
fine chance of enjoying the best sea
son of his career this summer.
Kauff, the box scores show, hit
the ball on the nose with startling re
gularity and firmness, und the box
scores also showed that he occasion
ally drew a base on balls Instead of
swinging wildly at the bad ones. >
When the season ended last fall,
Kauff was showing some of the stuff
that made him a king of batters in the
old Gilmore circuit. He was whaling
away at tho horsehide in a manner
that would have soon boosted his bat
ting average to very near the .300
class. It was the result of close study
by Denny and some tutoring by John
McGraw. Kauff had been told he
could not swing in tho general dl
i roction of a National league baseball
and slant it out of the lot.
When Denney entered the circuit
presided over by John K. Tener, it
became a standing joke that he would
tako a smash at anything, sincere and
certain In the belief that a baseball
couldn’t be thrown past him very
often. It was a fact. He was so
eager to hit that he would swing at
anything.
That Is all changed now. Bonny has
learned to wait and get the good ones.
And when he connects It means some
thing, for there are few batteries in
either Big league with the driving
power that is contained in his stocky
frame.
It'S partly Ty Cobb’s fault that
Benny Is making such marks for him
self, the reports say. Benny grow
almost green with jealousy when he
was thrown into a series against the
Georgian, und when Ty attacked Buck
Herzog, with whom Benny rooms, his
desire to eclipse the famous Tiger
knew no bounds. Ho out-Cobbed C’oh
in some of those games, punching the
hall around for base hits and turning
in fielding plays that were sensa
tional.
With his ambition, powerful arms [I—
nd natural ability to hit there Is no
eason why Kauff should not take
Is place among batting leaders of
he National league. And it is proper
o remark that Benny has learned to “
•ear a heavy hatting average without
anger of It running over. *r|
