FIRST GAME OF
PRESENT SEASON
CABLE NINE MAKE LEAGUE
LEADERS BOW DOWN IN
FIRST DEFEAT
Proving that they are not unbeat
able, the aggressive Cable Office
nine, sizzling wiith determination and
revenge tackled the speedy Nile Park
bunch, leaders of the league, and
left them on the short end of a 7 to
5 gruelling when the two aggrega
tions met to play off a postponed
game in the S. A. C. gym yesterday
afternoon.
It was the first defeat of the sea
son suffered by Nile Park, and the
operators today are rightfully chesty
over their achievement. The game, a
fast clean-cut exhibition devoid as it
was yesterday of any annoying argu
mentations or wranglings, was a
wholesome demostration of what the
players and fans alike want to see
right along. It was well umpired.
Joe Badger, just before the play
started, placed Irvin Dyer at the
plate to call balls and strikes, while
he took care of the bases. Both ar
biters proved popular. The manner
in which they judged and decided
plays left no room whatever for
question.
Nile Park drew first blood: Paint
er, whose bat usually starts or plays
important parts in the N. P. rallies,
singled in the second, advanced to
third on a steal and McBwan’s sac
rifice, and registered the first run of
the day on Jessen’s hit. The Opera
tors retaliated in the third, however,
on successive hits by Sheldon, Rob
ison, Barnett and Lien, at which
point Protzman and Bowley made
outs, then McLaughlin and Snyder
responded with bingles and four runs
were rung up.
After that Nile Park never regain
ed the lead. A single score was
made In their half of the third when
Tom Dyer, repeating his daring base
running stunt of last week, refused
to stop at any base after he had made
first, confusing the Cable Office field
ers who again made enough wild
throws to let Dyer complete the cir
cuit.
Each team scored two runs in the
ninth. Protzman got on for the Sig
nal Corps, and after Bowley was re
tired on a sweet catch by McEwan,
McLaughlin, premier slugger of the
league, bounced the ball into the bal
cony for three bases, sending Jerry
in ahead of him. On Snyder’s out,
Dyer to McEwan, McLaughlin cross
ed the plate bringing the Cable Of
fice winning total up to seven. The
hits of Selby, Hopkins and Dyer net
ted Nile Park two runs in their fin
al turn at bat, and with the tying
runs on the bases, Paulsteiner hit
to Robison and ended the day.

COAST WISE TAX ON SHIPS
WILL BE COLLECTED SOON
Steps are being taken by J. H.
Dunn, clerk of the U. S. district
court of Juneau, says the Empire,
for the collection of Federal tonnage
taxes for 1924-25 on ocean-going and
coastwise vessels owned and operat
ed in Alaskan waters, it was made
^ known. Some 38 or 40 vessels in
the First Division, it was reported,
are subject to this tax and it is esti
mated that about $3,000 are due for
last year.
So far as is known, this /is the
first time on record that efforts to
collect this tax have been made.
It is provided for in Section 2,569,
Compiled Laws of Alaska which
fixes the rate of taxation at $1 per
net ton, customhouse measurement,
to be paid by the owner or operator
o/f any seagoing or coastwise vessel
doing local business for hire, plying
in Alaskan waters. Notices that
the tax is due and payable are be
ing mailed ou-t by Mr. Dunn to the
registered owners of such vessels
as come within that classification.
The largest vessel claimed to
come under the law is the Motor
ship Oregon, registered in Juneau,
and owned and operated by the In
dependent Steamship company. It is
registered as being 1,357 net tons
capacity.
Soccer is becoming the popular
sport in Spain, and, it is said, will
eventually supersede bullfighting.

hire cannot become an amateur golf

If you were the only person in town that traded with
mail order concerns—it would hurt some—but it wouldn't paralyze the
prosperity of the community.
The greatest injury would be in the influence your out
of-town-trading exerted over others. Other people might follow in your
foot-steps of foreign trading and that following would prove detrimental to
home business development and betterment of public welfare.
Set a good example. Be a home buyer. Take pride in
your community. Feel that money spent here at home is playing an
important part in building up the town. Know that it buys the goods
you want and goes towards some public good. That it helps increase the
efficiency of schools—puts down better street crossings—erects better
libraries—brightens the town’s lights—makes the parks more attractive—pays
for better police protection, etc.
Instead of fostering the mail order habit—fight it openly.
Teach the truth of home trading. Preach home patronage. Show mail
order buyers the error of their ways—and go out of your way to do it.
Local merchants handle the highest grade merchant
dise. They carry advertised brands. They sell at a proper
price—makes of goods that bear the stamp of honest manufacturers.
They deal open-handedly. They don’t cover up questionable quality
with private labels. They offer you the latest and most dependable
lines—in all lines of merchandise. Their Stores are conveniently at hand. You
can reach them in a few short seconds—over the phone—or step right into their
places of business—give or leave your order—and have the goods delivered
straight to your home—all in a few minutes time.
They willingly accommodate you. They take particular
pains to give you just what you want right when you want it. You
don’t have to buy in big quantities to save freight or express charges. You can
spend less at a time—and save considerable sums in cash, to say nothing of the
great saving of time and trouble.
Advocate those advantages. Do mail order traders a
good turn by turning them away from away-from-home buying—liven
up local business, and by so doing speed the town along the road of progress.
Spend your money where it will in turn be spent for
local improvements instead of sending it away to fatten business and
better conditions of other communities. Support the community that supports you.
