The following form of petition is
being circulated about the city and
county for presentation to the coun-
" commissioners, asking that body
TO make an appropriation for the
county fair, and especially for the
appropriation of $500 for the erection
of a Flathead county building at the
state fair. Numerous signatures have
been received and the citizens gener-
ally are in favor Of the propositions:

The halo of glory surrounding the
heads of the Blues was badly tarn-
ished yesterday when they were
trimmed by the Somers team by the
very mucn one-sided score of 10 to
5. The Blues were handicapped by
the absence of several of their regu
lar players, especially in pitchers, but
even if the regular team had been
present. it was doubtful if they would
have won. as 1T was their off day
and they made numerous errors.
This. coupled with their inability to
hit Gilard. the clever red headed
was nothing to the game but Somers
from the start off. they getting five
runs in the first inning after banking
their opponents, and each inning
they kept adding to the total until
they had 10. The five runs made by
the Blues were scattered through
the game. The Blues We're handicap
ped by lack Of pitching timber.

was found wanting. IT was his first
game for several months ana he was
wild in several cases. forcing men
across the plate by base on balls.
When he did loca-e the plate his
Blenders were lined out for runs. He
retired about the fifth inning. and
Crane went in. He was better, strik-
.ng ont several men. but his support
was very much on the bum. and he
in turn gave way in the seventh inn
ing to AngeWOOd, who finished the
game in good shape allowing but
one score. Pratt. Kelum, Nelson and
Johnson We're absent from the game
What hard luck there was attached
to the game fell to the lot of the
Blues They made several good hits,
bnt in each case there was no one
on bases. and but few runs resulted.

home run. but he had to come in

he was changed early in the game.
During his brief stay. he presented

The Blues have no complaint to
make over their defeat. the Somers
boys treated them first class. and
they earned the victory. Both teams

KANSAS HIGH WATER
All Principal Streams as High
as Yesterday
FEW TRAINS ON TIME
Union Pacific Has More Trou-
BILE Than Others

Topeka, Kan, May H-Al the princi-
pal Kansas streams are as high as al
any time during the foods of a year ago
The railroads are wrestling with hard
proposition in the matter of running their
trains on time. Clear weather is now
expected for few days. and it is likely
that the water IS almost as high as it will
go.
The Kansas river is overlooking its
banks. The street car bridge at Topeka
is in much danger of being swept away.
Drift wood in immense quantities is form
ing and cannot be dislodged fast enough.
Manhattan, Salina, Emporia, Florence,
Atchison, Junction City, Abilene and
Hutchinson all report the presence OF
very high water, which has destroyed
much valuable property. Crops in some
instances are under water.
IN Salina the food conditions are about
the same as reported last night. The
water is slowly rising, but it viii reach
its highest point soon enough so as to
do but little more damage. Thousands
of dollars worth of property has been
ruined at Salina
The Union Pacific is having more trou-
BILE with its tracks than any of the other
roads, being located in the food district.
Its trains are being run over the Rock
Island tracks in central Kansas.
