FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY
THE ROUGH NECKS WIN
The basketball game played
last evening at the Rink afford
ed any amount of amusement
to the large number of spec
tators who filled the hall.
Many missed the first half of
the game, as the game was
called on the time scheduled.
In the first half the Married
Ladies had things all their
own way, but it was just the
reverse in the second half
when the Girls Team made one
successful throw after the
other. Throughout the game
both sides were penalized for
fouling and this worked a hard
ship especially when the team
had the ball right in line for a
I good throw for the basket. As
, much excitement reigned on
■ the side lines as amoung
the individual players. Mrs.
Mitchell experienced consider
able difficulty in locating the
; basket several times, but tlm
was offset by the many wen
executed plays in passing the
ball.. Some of the rooters had
equipped themselves with
■ horns and other parphernalia
which wre used to good advan
tage in confusing the players.
When the Girls team began to
scprp the girls ip the audience
became SQ overjoyed that they
did not stop with applause, but
threw their hats clear into
dr.
the 'dory played her posu
Miss IVu. precision as her

stops of a high thrown ball.
whereby the ball was immed- 1
iately taken back to the goal. *
Individual playing was a de- *
cided feature of the game and c
had this not been the case, the *
penalty for fouling would have t
been rreatly reduced. The t
final score resulted in the *

USE OF FISH OFFAL TO BE

A bill which prohibits the

now pending in the House of

the Alaska Oil & Guano Co., at
Killisnoo, Alaska w’hich uses
herring as its raw material,

seems to justify the belief that

SHIPPING CANNED SALMON
DIRECT TO INDIA
Henry Ballantine, world
traveler and former consul from
the United States to Bombay,
India, under the Harrison and
Cleveland administrations, says;
“Practically all of the Canned
Salmon sold in India comes
from England, and as this
same product came originally
from the Pacific Coast, it
would be a strange thing if
the original packers could not
ship these goods direct to In
dia, and undersell the English,
who are compelled to import
the goods into England, relabel
them, and then ship to India,
a vastly more costly and slow
er method than that of shipping
direct from here. There is an
immense population in India,
and while the great mass of the
people are too poor to purch
ase Canned Salmon, the whites,
eurasians (mixture of white
and native), the Parsces and
other wealthy natives, for an
element large in numbers, in
fluence and wealth, and one
which would doubtless con
sume large quantities of Can
ned Salmon were the oppor
tunity presented of doing so at
a reasonable price.”
