KANSAS CITY IS
Carries Full Cargo of Freight for
Engineering Commission at
Anchorage—Sailed Yesterday.
SEATTLE, Nov. 10.—The Kansas
City, the new steamer purchased by
the Alaska Steamship company for
the Southwestern Alaska trade, sail
ed last night for Anchorage with a
full cargo of railroad supplies for the
Alaskan Engineering commission.
The Kansas City will go the outside
passage to Prince William Sound
points.
. The Kansas City carries rails, ties,
coal and lumber for the commission,
as well as supplies sufficient to last
the contractors of the commission
during the closed season on Cook In
let. It is believed the Kansas City
will be the last steamer to deliver
freight to Anchorage this year as
freight offerings for that point have
been nearly cleared up as the City
of Puebla also carried heavy cargoes
for Anchorage.
The steamer will call at Latouche
and Cordova on her return voyage
and will carry copper ore to the
smelter, after which she will be dry
docked and converted into an oil
burner to conform with the other
passenger liners of the Alaska Steam
ship company.
AN ALL ALASKA ACT
BY FAIRBANKS BOYS
Gene Huckins and E. E. Bennett,
of Fairbanks, will apepar on the
vaudeville stages throughout the
country in an Alaskan sketch. Mr.
Huckins will take a full blooded
malamute dog, a real beauty, with
him for use in the act.
This act will be booked over the
Class A circuits. It is fitting that
these two men, who worked on the
first survey of the government rail
road in the interior, and who mush
ed the trails of this country before
the railroad was thought of should
introduce to the theatre going pubilc
on the outside an Alaskan act.
The actors will feature Bob Crow
ford’s Alaskan song, “My North
land.” Both of them are of the opin
ion that the song will be the great
success of the act, as the tune is a
catchy one and the words are easy
to learn. The young Fairbanksan
has gladly consented to let the ac
tors use his song.4
Furnished rooms at Mrs. Osland’s.
Prices reasonable. *
DONALDSON WILL MAKE
TWO TRIPS TONIGHT.
The smoker to be given by the
Port Liscum Athletic Club at the
Post tonight promises to be well at
tended by the men of Valdez. The
launch Donaldson will make two trips
across the bay to carry the Valdez
guests to the entertainment, the boat
leaving the City dock at 6:45 o’clock
on the first trip and the second trip
at 8 o’clock. The committee having
charge of the smoker is urging all
who can to take the first boat as it is
feared the launch will be unable to
accommodate all who wish to go on
the 8 o’clock trip.
The program as advertised in
cludes three boxing contests, wrest
ling matches, bayonet fencing bouts,
and other athletic contests. There
are some fine athletes among the
boys at the Post and an evening’s en
tertainment of clean sport is assured
all who attend.
CITIZENS WANT THE
HOSPITAL KEPT OPEN.
The announcement that the Valdez
hospital would soon be closed owing
to lack of support from the mining
companies in this district, does not
take kindly among the citizens of the
town who realize the necessity of
such an institution to care for the
sick and injured and in cases of an
emergency.
A petition is being circulated today
among the business men to secure
the signatures of those who are will
ing to assist in financing the hospi
tal over the winter months, while the
expense of maintaining the hospital
are heaviest. The subscribers are
guaranteed care at the hospital, in
cluding hospital, medical and surgi
cal attention for the nominal sum of
$1.50 per month.
It is believed that two or three
hundred subscribers can be Secured
in Valdez and among the miners
working in this district, which will
enable Dr. E. C. Dalton to keep the
Valdez Hospital open and prepared
to care for those requiring such ser
vices at any hour of the day or night,
irrespective of their financial condi
tion.
Before the gangplank is on the deck,
Joe is there your baggage to check.
He knows just where you want to go,
And his auto bus is not so slow.
When leaving Valdez it is just as well
To wait until you hear Joe’s bell.
He never yet has missed a boat
But connects with all that ever floats.
Joe never sleeps day or night.
He does his best to treat you right.
The traveling public well can bless
The man who runs the City Express.
All you do—Just Phone Eight Two,
rhe City Express will see you thru.

FEDERAL LEAGUE
DROPS TWO CITIES
Kansas City and Buffalo Federal
Baseball Clubs will go Other
Cities Coming Year.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10.—The
annual meeting of the directors oi
the Federal Baseball league was held
in Indianapolis yesterday when ii
was decided to cancel the franchise
of the Kansas City and Buffalo teams
The Kansas City team will go to
New York, where the Federal lea
gue has secured grounds and will en
deavor to share the patronage next
year with the other big leagues. The
disposition of the Buffalo team is un
decided.
r The Kansas City team finished the
season as a big loser although it be
gan the season as one of the most
popular teams in the United States.
For some reason, which the direc
tors of the Federal league were un
able to determine, the patronage of
the Kansas City Federals began to
dwindle, although the team was play
ing good ball. Similar conditions
prevailed at Buffalo, but as the lat
ter city has a larger population upon
which to draw the Federal team's
supporters were not so hard hit as
at Kansas City, where the manage
ment lost thousands of dollars.
ADMIRAL. FABBAGl'T TO
LEAVE SEATTLE FRIDAY
SEATTLE, Nov. 10.—The steamer

A full cargo of freight is awaiting
shipment as the Admiral Evans was
unable to accommodate all the ship
ments which had been billed for the
north.

usual interest while the contest lasts.
The copy of the ad. in today’s pa
per was prepared by Thomas Selby,
and a new advertisement will appear
in the Prospector each day until all
the contestants have had an oppor
tunity of showing their skill in at
tracting attention and convincing
purchasers that the Valdez Mercan

CHARLES WAKEFIELD IS
MAYOR OF LONDON TOWN.
LONDON, Nov. 10.—The installa

the industrial activity after the war
and that orders amounting to $160,
