Empire Teams Record of 1,1O3 Is
Twice Threatened. -ss

Chicago, Dec. 10.-Local bowlers are still
hammering away at the Empires record
of 11OS, and on two different occasions last
week it looked as if it was all off with the
fasteners mark.
The Lake View league, in which Petn
created his worlds record of 25S15, average
for three games, came near gathering in
the record. The Unos had a game started
that threatened the Empires mark, ami
were it not for a few railroads at a crit
ical stage, Weber's men would have robbed
the Gothamites of the only record they can
boast of. For eight innings the Unos went
clean, but in the ninth and tenth frames
the splits asserted themselves and 1859
pins was their limit In the Big Four
league the Unions. with the aid Of MorItzs
27S. run up total of 1910.
Big team averages were plentiful. The
Standards, in the Chicago league, led with
995 fiat: the Pirates, in the Illinois leagae,
drew $50 1-3. The Colts, $50 l-3, and the
Shamrocks and the South Parks each pro-
duced 9S1 %.
Individual work was of brilliant va
riety and double century averages came
faster than the blue ribbons at the fat
stock show. Joe Schmidt led the cracks
with 235 1-3. Eddie Stretch. the rotund ex-
pert made his debut in the Big Four
league with 226 2-3. Dick Stanford, the
young west side crack, drew ga 2-S, while
Eddie Kennedy. he Shamrock anchor.
gathered in 217 2-3. Peter Peth came strong
after his record smashing effort and aver
aged 22s 1-3.
Judging from the phenomenal manner in
which Fred Strong, George Bangart ana
George Moore are rolling in the Chicago
league. it looks as if at least one of these
cracks will finish the season with the long
looked for double century average.

ia that was sown on sod last spring that
will be available for a trial. Half can be
watered and a comparison made. Mr..
Johnson said that he never saw more
perfect stand of alfalfa even where they
irrigate. and sow twenty-five pounds of
seed per acre-but fifteen pounds &were
sown on this field
AS there was only $4,000 available for
work this year on the $500 acre farm, it
will be readily seen that very little could
be done. This matter will have to be
presented to the legislature next month,
ana an appropriation made before any
thing can be DONE Mr.. Johnson will pre-
sent figures on the probable cost of the
operations, and also the probable benefit
to be derived from watering crops 1t is
the opinion that alfalfa could be made to
triple it's yield by irrigation.
This is a question that is fast coming
into prominence. and the population of
this western country increases. the inn
portance of having a dependence that is
more certain than the elements, becomes
more eminent.

Initial Cost Will Be 100000
and to Employ 100 Men.
FORCE SOON TO DOUBLE
City to Grant Valuable Gas Con-
cessi0ns and Cash.
Located on Twenty Acre Tract
Near the Town.

Chanute, Dec. 10.-The Tribune says:
Chanute is to get the big Girard smelling
plant which has been making googoo eyes
or more. While the final papers are not
drawn up with the city they win be with
in six days as temporary contract has
been signed and quite an amount of money
has been paid over for the smelter site.
The plant will mean considerable to
Chanute, its initial cost will be $1O0, 900
and it will employ at the beginning at
least one hundred men. The machinery
to be put in will be for a plant that will
employ double that force, and the rep
resentatives of the Smelling company say
it will be only a question of time until
the force is increased to that number.
The plant is to be located on the Mertz
20 acre tract north of the city just west
of the Katy and Santa Fe crossing A
very convenient point for Chanute in
commercial way which means much. as
no company stores whatever go with it,
and the employees can trade where they
will.
The temporary agreement was made by,
the council Saturday morning at a special
meeting with Messrs. Struck and Hess,
the representatives of the Girard Smelling
company, who appeared before the coun-
Gil the night before and made their wants
known. The deal was consummated in an
executive session and as the agreement
reached was only temporary and in no
sense binding. and the Girard men re-
quested nothing to be said about it until
the final papers should be drawn the
councilmen all agreed to keep the matter
a secret. The city grants valuable cps
concessions.

BEARS IN NEW JERSEY.
Overflow from Other States Disturbing
the Peace of Sussex County.

Newton, n. J., Dec. 10.-Bears have
appeared in Sussex county for the first
time in many years.
A few days ago Calvin Rose was driv-
ing along the road near brakes Pond
when big bear rose from the bushes at
the roadside and attacked his team.
Rose pitched into the bear with a wa
gon stake. His blows drove it away,
and it disappeared in the woods.
James H. Avery was husking corn in
field on his farm near Branchville one
day last week when a bear came SLOUGH
ing out of the woods. When it saw
Farmer Ayers it hurried away, passed
around the district school house and
disappeared.
Not long afterward a bear came OUT
into the road and confronted Charles
Kays, who was on his wa- to the Will
age. This bear found refuge in a thick
jungle known as Pond Swamp. from
which 1t has not as yet been routed.
Two bears. one a small one and one
a large one, crossed the Decker farm or
Flat Brook the other day. and one is
reported as proving around the closed
cottages at Culver Lake.
Bears are more numerous this season
in the adiacest counties of Sullivan, N
Y. and Pike and Monroe. Pa. than they
have been for ten years. and it is sup
posed that these bears that are disturb
ing the peace of thiekly settled parts Of
Sussex county are wanderers from
those bear regions. having fled to escape
the dogs and hunters
