That war is a funny thing to one who is not mixed up
in it or who is not standing up to his waist in trench mud
and getting shot at like a nigger in a pork barrel at a Fair.
The Russians must have taken more prisoners than the
population of Austria and so many trenches have been
taken by both sides that all Europe must be honeycombed.
Road the dispatches every day. If they do not tell history
thov tell some swell fiction. Read them anyhow.

Let us get to work and challenge the First division.
\Ye may not have the same gold output or the same perm
anent payroll yet, but we have the ball players. Put that
in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Juneau.
A New York judge who was looking at the ball game
yesterday made the break that all the way (rom Gotham
the national game is just the same, even at Seward which
is popularly described as under the Arctic circle. Heav
ens, New York, the greatest city on earth, are you just
getting alive to the fact that we are civilized?
What effect will the threatened great railroad strike
have on Alaska? It will have about the same effect as the
great war. We shall read about it and pay a little more
for sausages and that is all. Alaska is in the same position
as Great Britain boasts of: It is "splendidly isolated. ’
The United States, all of us are reminded by yester
day's cables, can put up more money in peace times with
out letting the people be bothered than any European na
tion can furnish under the lash of war. Some little
country.
If you win the game today, Anchorage, you will for
give Seward a lot of sins. You will probably even be so
friendly as to admit that you can’t dredge a channel up
to Ship Creek. If you win today, Anchorage, you might ad
mit that as a terminal for the government railroad—nut
vou won't.

BOY MISSED POVERTY
STRICKEN LIKE 01 MINUTES
(Special to Gateway by United Press) j
SPOKANE, Wash., August t>. — It
came to light today that because he
was born an hour before instead of an
hour after midnight of April d0, a
tiny, red-checked Indian boy who lives
on the Colville reservation, about 100
miles west of Spokane, will receive
11>0 acres of land from the govern
ment.
When President Wilson signed the
proclamation recently throwing open
to settlement by homesteaders the
Colville reservation, he did not know
how close he came to making little
Indian Joseph a poor boy. The pro
clamation opening to settlement ap
proximately do0,000 acres of land on
the reservation reserved a quarter
section for each Indian child born
there before May 1. Accordingly, the
Indian baby who arrived at 11 o’clock
on the evening of April .‘*0 is richer
by 1 GO acres than he would have been
had his arrival been delayed 01 min
utes.
