VALDEZ WINS IN
BASE BALL GAME
With Exception of a Spasm
in Third Inning Seward
Never Had Lookin.
Valdeas. 14 Seward, 7
The foregoing givea the result, but
does not tell the story of tho long
talked of base bull gamo between
Valdez and tho town on Resurrection
bay. It was good baseball, and the
men from Seward fought hard against
a superior team and they played a
gentlemanly game. Of course there
were some complaints against decis
ions but admit ting that in one or two
cases Valdez received slightly the
best of it at tho hands of one or the
other of the empiros, the final score
is so decisivo as to leave no room for
speculation as to what might have
been the result if the decisions in
question had been the other way
As a matter of fact, Seward is en
titled to only 0110 run for the other
six were the result of plays that have
no connection with base ball. Con ley,
who started in as first basemen for
Valdez is responsible for four of tho
iuns and Manthey for two. It was
only once or twice during his ** -oe
inning occupancy of lirst that Oonlcy
managed to hold on to the ball and
when ho did he did not know what
to do with it, allowing four men to
cross the plate in the third none of
whom had a right to reach first. Two
runs counted because Conley after
-long hesitation tried for the man run
ning from third with two out, when
ho had ample time t> get tho batter
and ei.d tho inning; instead lie got
neither.
Mantliey allowed two runs by doing
the aame thing after he went in to I
pitoh in plaee of Itainey, who was
being roughly treated by the Sow
arditoH. Manthoy pitched good ball
and his errors in judgement can bo
forgiven becauso of this.
Captain Bess, took Conley out of
the game at the end of the third and
sent Buck to the station, the latter
playing good ball. The team owes a
whole lot to Boss who knows the
game in all its tine points and who
played the position of catcher like
the old ti ne professional that he is.
His throwing to hocoihI was one of
the features of the game and was re
sponsible for tho downfall of Sew
ard's hopes in many an occasion.
Howard failed to purlion a single sack
and this fact alone shows that Bess
was in the gamo.
All of the Valdez. team wore handy
with tho stick, all except two getting
at least ono base hit, and all except
two crossing the plate at least once.
Bradford, Bush, Speck, Tibbitts and
liill ran bases like old timers.
Nearly everyone in town was out at
tho grounds when tho game was
callod and it was a good thing, for
the rooters who came over from How
ard were there all the timo when it
came to making noise and they re
fused to quit even when they must have
realized that thoro was not so much
as a forlorrt hopo for tho boys in green
and white. Tho crowd was so big
that ground rules prevailed thus cut
ting down tho long hit average mater
ially.
Tho grounds were in fair condition
considering tho brief time elapsing
since the spot was covered with brush
but many of tho errors chalkcd tip
against the players are really due to
tho roughnoss of tho diamond and
also of tho outfield. But taken all in
all it was a great game as tho follow

FIREMEN'S PART
IS BIG SUCCESS
Dedication of Hall and Pa
rade of Apparatus Greet
ed With Applause.
All that wan anticipated- and then
Home, in the popular verdict with re
gard to the flro department's partici
pation in the Fourth of July celebra
tion. And the firemen are happy,
for their effort* were rewarded, not
only with much appreciation but also
with gratifying financial results.
It was nearly 10 o'clock when the
fire fighters and their apparatus left
fire headquarters for the parade and
they made a line showing, especially
when the fast run was made down
McKinloy. It was thrilling enough
for all and a little too faat for several
of the firemen who, on foot, were ex
pected to keep up with the band
wagon.
Immediately after the firemen re
turned to headquarters Mrs. Ed.
Wood, chosen by popular vote to pro
sido at the dedication ceremonies, ar
rived in a four-in-hand. Following
the invocation by Rov. Mr. Newton,
Firo Chief Quinn, as master of cere
monios made a brief speech introduc
ing Mrs. Wood whe then unfurled the
flag as the chorous sang. Mrs. Wood
also interrupted-at the proper time—
Mayor Fred Brown by sounding the
first alarm ever pealed by the new
bell while the crowd cheered.
Mayor Brown's address was one of
praise for the fire department mem
bers for the energy displayed in giv
ing to Valdez a department second to
none in Alaska and the equal if not
the superior to any town of like size
in the States as well. He spoko of
the growth of the town during the
ten years of its being and prophesied
great things for its future. Mayor
Brown then introduced the speaker of
the day, Judge Murray, ann< meed as
the "Silver tongued orator from Now
York who has been hard at work pre
paring his speech."
Judge Murray arose to the occasion
created by Mayor Brown and started
things off l>y creating a laugh. Later
he hecsune serious and made a stroug
plea that Alaska he given some of the
rights it is entitled to under the in
terpretation of what the Fourth of
July stands for. The speaker was
frequently interrupted by cheers.
The singers were Miss Floy Smith,
singing the solo part in the "'Star
Spangled Banner," Mesdames. Miller,
Carvey and Brown of Valdez and
Ellsworth of Seward, Misses Oslaiul,
Coles, Boyle and Brown, Messrs.
Roberts, Shaw of Valdez and Bouek
aert of Seward. The program con
sisted of "Columbia the Clem of the
Ocean," "My Country! tls of Thee,"
"The Battle Hymn of the Republic"
and the "Star Spangled Banner."
Following the close of the dedica
tory services the firemen lay back on
their oars until evening when once
again they were greatly ir evidence
at the grand ball. The government
building had boon decorated with
masses of bunting by the firemen and
Was bright with electricity, the light
being a contribution on the part of tho
Alaska Water, Light & Telephone
Company. Music was furnished by
the Mandolin Club. Tho ball was
largely attended and tho lire dopart
mont reuli/.ed a considerable sum from
the refreshment booth.
Everyone had a good thno and it
was not until late in the morning that
tho musicians packcd up thoir instru
ments and the crowd bid a reluctant
farewell to tho enjoyment.
VALDEZ TEAM PLAYS

flold of battle wore forgotten at the

ATHLETIC SPORTS
FURNISH MUCH FUN
Varied Program is Run off
Successfully With Assis
tance of Mulligan.
Everybody in town lined up along
MeKinley street to witness the ath
letic program which was started im
mediately after the services at the
lire house. It was a great moment for
all with a till otic ability, for some
who have not and for Mister Mulligan
who was ambitious, persistant and
not altogether unsuccessful for lie
won a second prize, in tho old man's
raco and ho furnished amusement for
everyone. The events were run oif
under direction of Marshal of the Day
Hanta and Judges WultT and Danz.
In the horse racc, Miko Johnson's
mount bolted the track and so Alex
Singletary won a rather hollow vic
tory. Dr. Boyle llrst breasted the
tape in the raco for old men but iie
was disqualillcd because ho could not
prove his ago, the required limit be
ing fifty years or more. There was 110
packing contest nor was there any
tug-of-war because the men of the
Tenth Infantry were out 011 the broad
boosom of the Pacific, aboard the
Transport Crook. The prize for this
event goes to the ball team.
Capt. Bess of tho base ball nine de
clares that, he was handicapped in the
fat man's race as ho carried about
twenty pounds more flesh than the
winner but 011 the whole everyone is
satisfied at the result which follows :

VALDEZ BOWLERS WIN
FROM SEWARD TEAM
The Valdez bowling team defeated
the Seward team in the evening on
the Olympic alleys by a total score of
2311 to 1885—live men on each team.
It is fair to the Seward men to say
that none of them bowled his average
game, although Pitman made high
Hcoro for the ovening—108. Howling
on strange alleys handicapped the
Seward men and the Valdez alleys
are not as true as those at Seward, a
fact known to everyone who has
bowled at both places. The members
of the winning team each received
from the Olympic a box of twenty
live cigars of his own selection. Fol
lowing is the score:

COUNCIL DEMANDS
BUSINESS METHODS
Many Bills Fail of Approval
Because No Requisitions
Accompany Them.
Unhusiuoss-like methods of trans
acting municipal business formed tlio
bunion of Tuosday's council moot
ing proceedings aiul from now on
these methods will bo loss slipshod,
nor will any bills bo allowed unless
they arc accompanied be requisitions
signed by someone with authority to
make purchases for the town. During
the discussion of the manner in which
supplies needed by the town have
been ordered there was no suggestion
of any thing wrong further than that
the methods in vogue were not such
as prevail in a private business and
that they permit little or no cheek.
It seems that some time ago it was
decided that nothing should be or
dered unless a requisition accom
panied the order but this regulation
has been honored more in the breach
than in tlie fulfillment. Scarcely one j
of the numerous bills coming up fori
approval last night had any requisi
tions attached and although most of
them found a sponsor in one or the
other of the councilmen they were
refcred back to the various business
houses with instructions that requisi
tions accompany them when they
next appear before the council. All
bills properly vouched for will be al
lowed at the next council meeting as
a special order of business.
The council formally accepted the
glacier dyke and ordored that Con
tractor A. ,J. Meals bo paid what is
duo him on the job. The dyke totals
6,256 feet and the total cost was close
to $7,800, the greater part of which
lias been paid.
Tho bill providing tor a scavenger
and also for the licensing of any per
son desiring to act as scavenger was
passed and it will become a law after
publication. The license is tixed at
$25 a year and t he otllcial scavenger
will bo determined by a call for bids.
The ordinance will also provide regu
lations governing the sanitary condi
tions of premises and will regulate
charges for the removal of rubbish
and other garbage.
That portion of the town known as
"Alley" again came in for a dis
cussion, it having been recalled that
a month or more ago the street and
light, committee had been instructed
to have some telephone poles and
cabins removed from what was origi
nally intended as a thoroughfare.
Councilman Pool, one of the street
committee, reported that those whose
cabins are in the alley assert that
they are there rightfully and t hat the
plat is wrong. Mayor brown bolieves
differently, however, and said that
the plat is the court of last, resort.
The street committee was given
power to act and ordered to take im
mediate steps to have the buildings
moved to where they belong.
The council also decidcd that the
Alley is not sulllciontly isolated and
ordered that the owners of the cabins
-in the section be notified to fence the
place in on tho Keystone avenue side
and construct a gate, as has been
done on the Broadway side. This is
in accordance with requests from res
idents on Keystone who for some
time have been complaining of the
indifference to decency displayed by
the residents of the town's tenderloin.

appeal to the well informed in every walk of life and
are essential to permanent success and creditable
standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all
who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the
fact that it involves the question of right living with
all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what
is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of con
templation and of effort may be made to contribute to
that end and the use of medicines dispensed with
generally to great advantage, but as in many instances
a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable, if
taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co.
feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the
subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy
which has won the approval of physicians and the
world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all,
and the original method of manufacture, which is
known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably
known under the name of — Syrup of Figs — and has
attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excell
ent family laxative. As its pure laxative principles,
obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we
have adopted the more elaborate name of — Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna — as more fully descriptive
of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called
for by the shorter name of — Syrup of Figs — and to
get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing,
the full name of the Company — California Fig Syrup
Co. — printed on the front of every package, whether
you call for — Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna.
