COLLECTING A BALL TEAM
Bunch of a Dozen Players Here or
Coming to Try for Places on the
lola League Team.

Handicapped by the lateness Of the
start and the fact that the other teams
in the Missouri Valley League had
secured ten to fifteen men apiece TO
work out, lola has had a hard rub to
get into the game. The lola "mag-
nets" as they have been most appro-
priately called by several would-be
players, returned from Kansas City
last Tuesday with ten men on their
list. None of them have ever played
in lola and are unknown quantities,
but all of them have played amateur
and professional ball for years and
were selected on strong recommends
tions by men who are experts at the
game and know the boys.
Mutabaugh, Millsap and Watson,
are pitchers, Wilson is the first
baseman applicant, Shumyer second
baseman, Johnson third baseman,
Osweld short stop, and Lucas and
Bales outtielders. All of them, are
desirous of showing their ability. iu
the field. Besides these there are sew
eral players here from out OF town
desirous of trying for the team, and
letters galore arrive daily from play
ers seeking places. All the men are,
of course, on trial aud only those who
prove themselves genuine ball-players
will reufain. There is urgent need of
getting some kind of team together
at once as the season opens next Tues
day at Cotfeyville, where lola plays
three games.
AL the cities in the league have
posted their forfeit and signed teams
and the other to wns are no. much bet
ter off than lola, but have the advan-
tage of a weeks extra practice. Men
at Kansas City, who ought TO know,
after viewing the list signed by lola,
said they thought the team here stood
an excellent show against the other
teams. Time will tell the story.
There are still several things to at
tend to. Grounds must be secured,
outfits and suits bought, the players
worked out, boarding houses secured
and a thousand details looked after.
The management feels gratifed par
ticularly over the fact that "a gentle
manly set of boys has been secured
and rowdyism will not be one of the
characteristics of the lola team

Do You Know This Follow

One day there came TO Mother Earth"
A child peculiar from its birth;
Its health was good, twas never sick,
And yet somehow 'twould always kick
1t kicked because it could not talk
1t kicked because it could not walk
Awake-asleep-b day-by night
1t kicked away with all its might
The Kicker grew TO manhood Then
In business went'lke many men;
But every time he closed a trade
His everlasting kick was made
He kicked ana kicked till life was done
He quit because his kicks were gone.
No bells were toIed; none sighed or cried
The earth was glad the day he died.
The foregoing was handed TO the
REGISTER by an lola business man
who believes he knows the "hero" of
the poem. Still, the kicker he knows
is not dead. Have you ever seriously
considered how much happier you
will be if you boost instead of kick
ing? Try it.

weeks ago, is now working in The cast
part of the county She held meetings
last week at Humboldt and later at
LaHarpe. Monday night she deliver
ed her lecture at Gas City, her talk
being much after the style of her talks
here. There have been no more raids,
for the reason that either there was no
material to work on or because the
men in business that was pafdable
took alarm at her coming and closed
shop. 1t seems to be a waiting game
to see WHICH side will give,up the fight

The Dodd City Ark. Enterprise
has the following to say about the
mine which is owned entirely by lola
parties:
"At the lola Consolidated mine,

Gently made cut on that property a
block of 1000 tons of crushed rock has
been shaped ready to shoot OF when
the time arrives. This ore begins at
the grass roots and is from Is TO 20
feet in thickness, with 40 foot face
exposure. The ore is very fine crush
rock, carrying pure resin jack dis
ssminated in the satin limestone. Cut
No. on this property shows lead,
zinc carbonate, copper carbonate and
free jack. The cut was made diagon-
ally acress the ore run, this is a grass
root run also and Is at least or 10
feet thick, the thickness not being fully
ascertained. In the shaft of which
mentieH was made last week, drift
is being run at 20 feet deep into 9
foot run of ore running 10 to u per
cent jack. The lola Co. have appoint
ed a committee of it's members to visit
the mine and, acting in conjunction
with Supt. n. o. Watkins, to decide
upon the situation and plan of pro-
eeedure in erecting the mill on their
property. This committee.consists of
Geo. a. Fry, d. p. Northrup, David
Ewart aud j. A. Robinson, who will
visit the property between the lst and
10th of May. The lola is one of the
best properties in the district and will
justify mill being erected. The
property is in 35-20.lS.

Colorado Ore Being Smelted.

In addition to her gold and silver
Colorado has some rich deposits of
lead and zinc, but they are so often
found in combination with other
metals that the smelters here have
sed hardly any of the ore. Some has
been smelted here and the Cherokee
Lanyon plant at Gas City has expert
mented successfully with a new retort
and may use Colorado ore altogether,
particularly if the Joplin combine
keeps ore prices as high as they now
are.
Speaking of this the Lead & Zinc
News says:
shipments of Colorado ore arenow
bein made to the Gas City plant of
the Cherokee-Lanyon Spelter Com
pany. While the company has been
using some Colorado ores for some
years past, mostly in an experimental
manner, the increased shipments at
this period, when the chaotic condi-
tions of the Joplin district make the
ore supply low, afford food for re-
Election. The company has been ex-
perimenting with the Sadtler retorts
and they are understood to have been
uniformly successful. From the Kan
sas gas belt comes rumors that the
company proposes making extensive
preparations for handling Colorado
ores but it has been impossible to
verify this story"
The rumor that the Cherokee-Lan
yon people have some interesting eN-
tensions and developments up their
sleeve are current here and lit is be.
lieved that the full details will be for
publication soon, although nothing
will be given out now.

When a farmer secures farm paper
he should get the one that is publish
ed in the territory and by men who
understand the conditions under which
he lives.
1t is absurd to seek agricultural
information from a PAPER published
in another State and by men who
know nothing of Kansas conditions.
Cash paid for such paper is dead
expense. Cash paid for the home
printed and progressive paper is an
Investment.

SEWER ENGINEER IS HERE
w. II. Tarrant Arrives With Plans
for Sewer System and Apparatus
for Making Survey

Mr. w. II. Tarrant, the engineer of
Champaign, ILL.,, to whom the city
council let the contract for drawing
plans and specifications for septic
sewer system for lola, arrived in lola
this week and will see the council
about his his plans and if accepted
will proceed at once with the neces-
sary survey before active construction
work will begin.
The plans do not differ very materi-
ally from those made by Burns &
Mcdonnell The city is divided into
four districts, the southwest part of
town being District "a" the north
and northwest being district "C",
the east and northeast district "B",
and the southeast ''D". Main sewers
run east between Madison and Broad
way across towr and between Jackson
and Monroe streets. The southeast
part of town will be emptied into a
basin on Elm creek southeast of town.
His plans have arranged for laterals
completely covering the town, so that
after the city constructs its main
sewers the people in any neighbor-
hood can knowljustwhere,and how they
will be able to connect.
And we certainly want sewers this
year and want them mighty bad.
Their construction will mean work for
a large number of men, for the work
will be pushed when once begun, and
the large part of the money spent for
the system will go in pay for labor.
1t is to be hoped the city council can
get to the question at an early date.
