fast players practiced snappily. Batteries for today’s
game are Shocker and Severeid for the Yankees and Alex
ander and O’Farrell for the Cardinals. Both hurlers are
spitballers.

HOOKS
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4. (£>)—Gene
Tunney, world’s champion heavy
weight boxer, denied the rumor that
poison hampered Jack Dempsey dur
ing their recent battle a^d said “So
they say Dempsey was poisoned! I
guess that’s right but he was poison
ed by a right hook to the chin in the
second set-to of the first round. That
punch almost knocked him out. He
was also poisoned by stinging hooks,
jabs and swings. I don’t know how
he withstood them. The time has
come when I must think of a future

which will startle the boxing world
when they become known. I am plan
ning something no other champion
ever done and it is going to be a great
help to the boxing game.”

STORY, J. MUD
JACK McCORD WORKING HARD
FOR ALASKA AT WASH
INGTON
In the Sunset magazine for October,
there appears the following article
entitled “The West at Washington,
followed with the brief by-line, “A
word about Alaska’s Colonel House."
The article was written by Theodore
iM. Knappen, Sunset’s staff corres
jpondent at the national Capital and is
devoted entirely in a descriptive story
of Jack McCord, together with a
splendid photographic likeness, well
known Alaskan, who calls Seward
-home.
The story:
Jack McCord has so fixed it at
Washington, Congress concurring,
that you can get a nice Alaska island
for your fur farm. All you have to
Ido is find your own island, under
30 square miles In area, or take up to
the same area on a large island, and
then lease it through the land office,
Department of the Interior. There
being no islands that suit your fancy,
you can lease 640 acres on the main
land. Jack did his best to get a pas
turage leasing law through, but the
time limit of Congress’ adjournment
caught him between the first and se
cond hurdles. The senate passed the
bill, but the house did not get to it.
Had it done so Alaska would have had
ithe distinction of beating the conti
guous public domain to the honor of
having the first federal range leasing
law. Maybe Alaska will yet have the
honor.
Deferring Jack’s identification for a
few lines, consider, dear reader, what
a light that statement throws on the
excellences of our great government.
We have had a public domain, with
cattle ranging on it, ever since the
original colonies ceded the Northwest
Territory to the Federal government,
and yet there has never been a statute
governing the grazing use by indivi
duals of this public land. It is true
that the forest service regulates graz
ing in the National forests, but that
is an incident of forest administration
and does not represent general na
tional policy.
The Federal government has never
collected a cent from the pasturage
that has fattened hundreds of mil
lions of cattle (much less has it been
reimbursed for the ruination of the
range by over-pas£uring), outside the
small amounts the Forest service has
collected. And that is not all. This
dear, foolish, lumbering old govern
ment of ours has permitted the range
to be pock-marked with ridiculous
“farms” where there is so little rain
fall—and no irrigation—that a side

(Special from Nome Nuggett)
Thomas A. Marquam, Independent
| candidate for Delegate to Congress
held a meeting in the Arctic Brother
hood hall last night and the hall was
crowded to capacity. Attorney O. D.
j Cochran presided and in an eloquent
opening address denounced Suther
land for his unwarranted attack on
| Judge Reed and his defamation of the
territory to further his own selfish
interests.
Mr. Marquam when introduced wa3
enthusiastically received. He based
jhis entire discussion of the political
situation on the record of evidence
and he held his audience spellbound
for nearly three hours. After he had
been speaking for about two hours he
reminded his audience that it wa3
getting late and a social dance was to
follow but cries of “Go on,’ came from
all parts of the house. At the con
clusion of his address the applause
was tumultuous.
Many of the facts adverted to by
Mr. Marquam were not generally
known in this section. He treated Mr.
Sutherland courteously but condemn
ed him on his record. After the meet

the range for ruinous farms and ruin

that the government has permitted to
be fought between drovers, as our

belonged to none has cost more lives
than the Spanish-American war and
