he will be down today, and it is i
presumed that he will be a pass- i

Shortly before going to press, The ,
News was informed of the receipt of
a second wire from Kennedy, an- I
nouncing that satisfactory arrange-1
ments had been made for the use
of the steamer Tanana, and that -
over 100 Fairbanksans would make
the trip down to Nenana on Satur
day, leaving Fairbanks at 7 o’clock |
in the morning.
The wire also stated that the Fair
banks ball team would form a part
of the excursion, the team being:
made up of the same players who
have already appeared in the two
previous series.
Upon receipt of the wire, Man
ager Fischer called up Manager
Beam on the phone and learned that
an effort was being made to bring
the Fairbanks band along. Practic
ally all the musicians had been seen, I
with the exception of William Gor
bracht, the leader, and little diffi
culty was anticipated in getting him i
to make the trip.
As on the previous visit of Fair
banksans to Nenana, the opening j
game will be played on Saturday,
probably during the afternoon, and
the two concluding games on Sun
day, the excursionists returning ■
[home Sunday night.
THE FIRST REPLY.
A reply to the Xenana challenge
was received by Manager Joe Fisch
er late yesterday afternoon, from
Manager Charles Beam of the Fair
banks aggregation, stating that it
i would be impossible to make an
j other trip down river, owing to the
■departure of Pitcher Mills for the
States within a few days. The loss
! of Mills would leave the Fairbanks
i ans in a sorry plight, and they evi
dently realize that they would have
j little chance against Xenana without
! him. ]
The telegram from Manager Beam
: makes reference to an excursion
jfrom Xenana to Fairbanks on Labor
i Day, with the ball team, but, in the
absence of details, it is not known
here just what sort of a proposition
| the Fairbanksans plan to make.
The wire received by Manager
iFischer yesterday reads as follows:
| “Sorry cannot accept your otfer.
Pitcher Mills leaves for Outside this
[week. Kennedy will explain matter
| fully when he arrives tomorrow.
Wire you later regarding bringing
, you up here Labor Day.”

CHINESE FOREIGN
TRADE LAST YEAR
GREATEST RECORDED
SHANGHAI.—The value of the

last year was the highest on record,

[ prices and in the value of the tael

tensive shrinkage in the merchan

CONSUMERS ARE
SOME 10 BLAME,
SAYS OLDTIMER
The people themselves are very
much to blame for the high prices
of clothing prevailing in the States,
according to Clarisse E. Perrin, for
mer oldtime resident of Fairbanks
and Brooks, who is now living in
San Francisco. “By going to the
sales,” she writes, in a letter to
Mrs. Hattie d'Orsay of this city,
“one can avoid all this big price
scarecrow, and get exactly the same
thing. I have friends, in fact, all
of them, who would not have a pair
of shoes that cost less than S12 or
$15. I never pay over $3, $4 or $5
for mine, and even the shoe mend
ers never can tell the difference.”
She also tells of getting a. black
serge suit for $20.
But it is not so easy to get
around the other high prices. The
provision men, evidently, are not
staging sales. “Things are very
high,” the letter admits, “but people
get even by getting right down to
nature and brass tacks. I am won
dering when the few Americans liv
ing here will wake up. People, that
is, the foreign, unrestful sort, known
as Bolsheviks, demand and demand,
and when they get that, they are
like a mass of seething maggots,
undermining their job and their em
ployer. Their motto now is ‘rule
or ruin,’ which is ‘rule and ruin.'
It is getting very serious.”
The writer speaks of a bunch of
“yeomanettes and marinettes” at
tached to the navy department as
leeches, at $106 per month and
clothes, who never earned their salt
and had any old hours they pleased.
They hold their jobs through po
litical pull and are referred to as
“free feeders at the Government
trough.”
“I am wondering,” says the let
ter, “when people who pay the taxes
will commence to look at the names,
denoting stability and nationality,
whom they put in the places of
trust to spend their money for
them.”

“DRY" ZONE MAY
BE ESBBIISHEO
ON MEX. BORDER
MEXICO CITY. — Thirsty resi
dents of the United States who hope
to find an oasis in Mexico may be
disappointed. A cabinet member
whose influence will be felt in the
drafting of “dry" regulations wa3
recently quoted in The Excelsior as
saying that it may be necessary for
the Mexican government to estab
lish a “dry" zone at least ten kilo
meters *deep along the entire length
of the United States boundary.
Intimation was also given that
the government is prepared to move
immediately against persons who are
reported to be selling liquor to
Americans, using Mexican territory
as their base of operations.
A question which is said to be
giving officials here much concern is
whether tUnited States brewers and
distillers shall be allowed to trans
port their plants, together with
their stocks of goods, to Mexico.
No official action has been taken on
that phase of the question.
Prohibition as a nation-wide mea
sure is commencing to attract at
tention. General P. Elias Calles.
governor of the state of Sonora,
recently revived several “dry” laws
and announced that they would be
enforced. These regulations provide
severe punishment for persons con
victed of the illegal sale of liquor.
The legislature of the state of Cam
peche has discussed “dry” measures
for some time, but it is improbable
drastic action will be taken, inas
much as Governor Joaquin Muce!
has asked that instead of a "bone
dry” law there be enacted measures
regulating the manufacture and sale
of intoxicants.

NEW ORDER DEPRIVES
POLICE OF “PIN MONEY”
LONDON'.—-The policemen of the
pretty seaside town of Ramsgate
are to lose their “pin money.” This
money has been obtained by waking
early risers by a knock at their
door or a tap on the window.
A “season ticket” system was in
force whereby the cost of this serv
ice was reduced to two cents a call.
The receipts were pooled and shared
among the police as “pin money.”
Instructions have been issued to
the effect that the police must dis
continue the service. Old residents
resent the new order.
