The billiard match last night in
the Board of Trade lournament be
tween Ed Wells and Ed Burroughs
resulted in some remarkable playing.
Wells made two runs wheih are rec
ords for this season's play. In the
l2.h ‘nning he bail pcd them together
2 times and again in the 55th he
got up speed and made Referee Kll
roy hoarse counting up to 63. He
made another pretty run of 24 and
delighted the spectators by the skill
he displayed in gathering the balls
from distant po::it» on the t* ble. His
average was 5.3C fo- the 3l)0 billiards
in 56 innings.
Burroughs did not play up to his
average for he made only 93 clicks
in 55 innings whic figures out 1.69.
But he showe» cleve.ness ‘n leaving
them bad for his opponent. That he
did not make rr.oif joints Is probably
due to the fact that he had to sit
| idle so long watching Wells rake
I them in. In sporting parience he did
not show well because of a cold cue.
The match was witnessed by a big
crowd of fans who frequently ap
plauded both players.
Tautok, the head government herd

o'clock with the sled deer which are

The Eskimos suggested an unpro

ALASKAN SPUDS
WANTED FOR DINING
CARS OF NOR. PACIFIC
The Alaska Railroad Record, a
weekly publication published by di
rection of the government railroad
and to insure accurate publicity for
many facts of value and importance
in the work of construction, states
that the Northern Taciflc railroad
proposes to servo Alaskan potatoes
on the dining cars of the system and
widely advertise them if potatoes of
suitable grade can be obtained in
[ sufficient quantities to make the plan
permanent.
Much interest has been taken in
tliis proposal by farmers along the
line of the government road. The
Fairbanks Commercial Club has taken
the matter up with farmers of the
Tanana valley and is urging them to
use the best sedd spuds obtainable
for their spring planting in order to
secure a select crop from which to
fill any orders the Northern Pacific
may place next fall.
The land and industrial department
jf the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion has also called the attention of
the farmers of Alaska to the willing
ness of the railroad to make a special
feature of the Alaska potato on the
menus of the dining car service. It
is stated that with the wide public
ity provided there should be no diffl
1 culty in supplying the demands that
may arise for potatoes of suitable
grade.
Owing to the lack of transporta
tion, or the high cost of it, the gar
den patches of Seward peninsula will
doubtless be unable to compete with
(.he coast sections of Alaska in pro
viding the Northern Pacific dining
oars with mealy murphies but some
of our most enterprising growers
might send down a few crates Just
to demonstrate the quality of the
peninsula's farm products. Please
don't crowd, gentlemen.
