both men in active training, interest
in the heavyweight championship

215 pounds without much difficulty.
At Hardin Springs, where the cham

Want hangman Bridge.

Eugene Eilor, mayor Of Medical
Lake, has written a letter to Coun-
Gilman j. E. Foster, urging that the
much discussed bridge or fill over
Hangman creek in the western part
Of the city be built. and asks that
the city cooperate with the county
in making the improvement.
In his communication Mayor Eilor
says the bridge would be vast saw
ing in time and labor to farmers
coming into Spokane from the vast
region west Of the city. He also
points out that 1t would increase the
travel to Medical Lake during the
summer season, and shows the OBJ
lection to the present road which

Another one of those baseball pipes
which originate, no one seems to
know where, is gaining sway here
abouts, and persists in keeping gos-
sip in Fanville alive when all other
topics have failed to entertain the
fans while the team Is abroad.
This last has it that the Helena
team will be transferred to Ogden
and an effort 10 being made to have
the transfer made before this season
is over. However 1t is doubted II
those interested can succeed in hav-
ing the change made before next sea-
son. As first announced by The
Press, Helena will be dropped from
the circuit. and the move now is to
transfer the team to Ogden forth

The Helena attendance has been SO
light of late that IT is impossible for
them TO keep up an expensive team
like they now have and play even.
Ogden had a representative at the
league meeting in Tacoma, but he
was given very little encouragement

Garrett undoubtedly has got together
a bunch of great ball players on the

in getting new talent for the Nor
