“Ah, there’s the country. Why, the

tailed by the Alaska Road commission
to survey the proposed government
wagon road from Skagway to the

The time was when it would have
been an easy matter to secure a hun* j
dred or more signatures to a call for
a Republican meeting in Cordova. But
since the Wilson progressive adminis
tration is loosing the shackles from
impoverished Alaska, there is a gen
eral sentiment among the people of
this section that they want to prove
loyal to the men who are proving
their loyalty and friendship for thi*<
northland. As a consequence almost
everybody is a Democrat.—Cordova

FINNEGAN NINE
SHUTS OUT MANTHEY
The best ball game of the season
was staged yesterday at the new park
when the Finengan team shut out the
Manthey aggregation eight to noth
ing. It was a good game and not so
one-sided as the score would seem to
indicate. There are enough good
players in Seward to make up one
good team but in order to complete
the lineup for two teams some of the
fans have to be impressed and while
the result makes a good game *the
quality of the game is not as good as
one picked team would hand out.
It was a free hitting game and the
Finnegan forces gathered a totai of
23 hits off the combined offerings of
Manthey and Reed, while the Manthey
contingent drew’ down nine safety
from Smith.
There were plenty of errors, mary
of which could be charged up to the
surface of the grounds, but at that it
was a good game and the large crow d
that turned out were w’ell repaid and
are more firmly convinced than ever
that this year Sew’ard will have th *
best team in the history of the camp.
The grounds are rapidly getting in
to shape and with another w’eek's
work will be the best ball field in
Alaska w’ith the possible exception of
Fairbanks, and with the arrival of the
new uniforms, Sew’ard will have a
good team, completely equipped ard
ready to give battle to any aggrega
tion in the territory.
Umpire Stanley handled the indica*
tor yesterday in big league style and
the game was free from all petty bic
kering and wrangling. The batteries
were Smith and Finnegan for the vic
tors and Reed,Manthey and Buckley
for the losers. There will be another
game on the same grounds next Sun
day.

TEXAS DEMOCRATS NOMINATE
ANTI-PROHIBITION MAN
DALLAS, July 26—The counting A
the Democratic primaries vote indi
cates that James Ferguson, anti-pro
hibition candidate for governor has
been nominated. The question o»
prohibition was the most important
that came up during the primaries
fight and the prohibitionists came
out in their full strength. It is
thought likely that no matter
who is nominated by the Democrats
and Republicans the fight will be be
tween drys and wets should the Re
publicans happen to nominate a pro
hibition candidate.
