THEIR EXPERIENCE
COST Sl2,9O2.24
But Burlington Sports Are Game and
Declare They Will Have a Base
Ball Team the Coming
Summer.

Burlington, Feb. 1.-THE annual
meeting of the Burlington base ball as
soeiation was held last evening and there
was great enthusiasm manifested over
the prospect for the coming season. The
report OF the treasurer showed deficit
of S3,795.62 The receipts were; Gate
and grand stands, S7,551.07; rent OF
grounds S23, advertising on fences $l51,
subscriptions $3s9.55, sale Of stock 5000.
Total s9,106,62. The disbursements
were: Salaries to players s6,47l.71,
improvements to grounds S1,917.9s, ex-
hibition games $1,Ss3.57, board, travel
ing expenses, etc, 81, ,469.44. Total ex-
penses $12,902.24
1t appeared that great portion Of
the deficit was owed to George L. Whit.
ney, who had advanced money for the
payment Of bills BY the association.
This led to expressions Of good viii
toward Mr.. Whitney, which finally eul-
minated in vote OF thanks.
1t was stated that the association was
not so badly in debt as was apparent.
1t was stated that Barre Montpelier and
Rutland had $4,000 in stock paid in,
while Burlington had less than $1,000.
The opinion was expressed that great
saving could be made this season as
compared with last summer. The di
reetors have greater experience and
could therefore handle the affairs of
the association better The points
where a saving could be realized sug-
gested were exhibition games, park inn
provements, expense accounts of play
ers, salaries OF players, and general ex-
4 saE t..f
Of between $4,000 and $4,000 could
be made.
S. ]. Beatty moved that it be the
sense of the stockholders that the as
soeiation have team this year. +. p.

ing Mr.. Whitney manager, providing
he would accept. The original motion
was finally passed
The question Of salary limit was
brought up by Mr. Jarvis, who made a
motion providing that the Burlington
association refrain from entering a
league where the salary limit was to
exceed $500 week This was also
carried
At the conclusion of the stockholders
meeting the directors organized by elect
ing officers as follows. President, Il.

sANGUINE OVER BASE BALL.
H. A. Dubuc Thinks Two Cities Should
Have a Team This Year.

II. A. Dubuc, the Barre Montpelier
base ball director, who is to move to
Massachusetts, from Montpelier, takes
a cheerful view Of the local base ball
situation.
He expects that q meeting Of the di-
rectors will be called within a few days
to start the ball rolling. Mr.. Dubuc
considers that everything is in favor
OF successful Inter.City team this
wear. Only fifty per cent assessment
on the stock Of the InterCity Athletic
Association was called for last season;
every cent Of which went into grounds,
equipments, etc, all of which are among
the visible assets Of the association.
The team was self supporting last sea-
son and under normal conditions, re-
garding salary limit, IN the league,
would have been dividend Garner. A
small assessment on the remaining ff-
ty per cent Of the stock viii start the
team OF in good shape.
Regarding players Mr. Dubuc said
that, while he has not been in commu-
nication with any OF the players in last
years team, he believes that several
Of the best can easily be secured for
this year. eThe men were more than
pleased with the treatment that they
received in Montpelier and Il is thought
that they would like an opportunity to
retrieve the hard luck that followed
them toward the close Of last season. z
That some of the men are rs desirable
as any that can he secured seemed to
be the implied opinion Of Mr.. Dubuc
The latter will resign his connection
with the association at the coming di
reetors' meeting.

tion against Mrs. Fountain Of Winoo-
ski, who Is alleged to have broken the

elined to revise their action of a previous

Burlington, Feb. 16. 4 new move has
been made in the ease Of Benjamin wills
liams. the ex-soldier, who is charged

FL B Shaw, have made application to
Judge Powers to have Williams removed

A Warning to Mothers

Too much care cannot be used with small children during the hot weather of the summer months to guard against bowel troubles. As a rule it is only necessary to give the child dose of castor oil to correct any disorder of the bowels. Do not use any substitute, but give the old fashioned castor oil, and see that it is fresh, as rancid oil nause- ates and has tendency to gripe. If this does not check the bowels give ChamberIain's Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy and then dose of castor oil, and the disease may be checked in it's incipiency and all danger avoided. The castor oil and this remedy should be procured at once and kept ready for instant use as soon as the first indica- tion of any bowel trouble appears. This is the most successful treatment known and may be relied upon with implicit confidence even in casis of chO era infantum.

Street Sprinkiing-Excessive Charges
 for Water
Communicated

The breezy days of the past week have emphasized the necessity of sprlnkling our streets for the wind has blown the dust up in clouds. As private enter prise this work has always been ham pered by the exOrbitant rate of five dollars per week charged by the local water company for the water used in street spriukling. It is cOntended that if this were remitted the work could be done and paid for by the business men. With this end in view the Chamber of Commerce took up the matter with Mir. Paulin. He made reply that the rate of five dollars per week hardly paid for the expense of pumping and no reduc- ton could be made unless his company made it as a donation. He dismissed the matter by turning it over to his local representative, Mr. Carey, with power to act. The Committee of the Chamber naturally expected Mir. Carey would join them in endeavoring to get JllG SGISCGS Si)I liIhictl anu were very much nonplussed when he emphatic ally told them that if the business men of Imperial were willing that five dollars week should stand between them and having the streets sprinkled, the streets could remain unsprinkled for all time. So vehemently was the matter turned down that it excited curiosity as to what the real cost of pumping the water Is. Enquiries ing of the water for the entire town does not cost the company Mir. Carey represents one cent of actual expense The pumping is done by the Holton Power Company and all they get for doing the work is the water they use in manufacturing ice and in the engine boilers. This amounts to about 2000 gallons per day or less than one-third of a miners inch. The electricity used by the Southern Pacific at their pump ing station amounted to $64 last month and the town uses as much water un- doubtedIy, as the railroad does. At the same rate, allowing small per cent for the use of the machinery, 1t can be seen that the Holton Power Company done about $75 worth of work last month for the: :.6O, ,O0ONgallonssof water they used. The entire cost of the water, pumping and Fall, is just the annual assessment on the water stock owned by Mir. Paulin's water company and no more. The policy of CINcH finds full sway in every phase of this transac- ton. The Holton Power Company is compelled to pay about twentyatimes as much for the water it uses as it should and the city must needs pay its tribute to the same rapacious maw. It is c1NcH! CINcH cINcH and those who don't like it may go elsewhere.

DESERT CLAIMS VICTIM
Harry Howard Overcome And Dies
 Of Thirst

The desert has claimed another vic tim and agaln has it's unsuitable lure snatched human life. On last Thurs day Harry Howard and William Fast left the construction camp of Imperial Water Go. Mo- near Pelican lake to search for some horses that had strayed away. They went on horseback in the direction of Carriso creek and after going a number of miles Towards horse was overcome by the heat and dunable to travel farther.
 In this dilemma their water supply gave out and Fast tried to get Howard to go with him to the nearest water This Howard refused to do, and Fast left him to get new supply of water and return. Fast, however got lost in the sand hills and wandered about on the desert till late Friday evening before he found his way out and gave the alarm.
 Early Saturday morning a searching party started to hunt for Howard but failed to find any trace of him, as Fast found it impossible to tell just where in the the sand hills he had been left. Sunday the search was continued and about noon the unfortunate man was found lying under the scant shade Of mesquite tree, less than two miles from abundance of water.
 lie was unconscious when found and died iii a very few minutes. Investiga tlon showed that he had not been lost at all but had stayed by his exhausted horse during all of Friday and Saturday without drop of water, and must have started Sunday morning., for he had gone Ill a direct line toward water and simply miscalculated his strength and gave out before he reached it.
 That he knew where he was and tried to summon aid is shown by the fact that his revolver had been fired several times after he stopped at the mesquite tree. Ali that his friends could do was to lash his body to horse and bring it to New river, which is crossed on a wire cable now, and by this means bring it to Brawley for burlal.
 The interment took place on Monday and was we'll attended. A choir of six voices sang very feelingly and Rev J. A. Miller preached very appropriate ser mon. The deceased's name was Harry I. Howard he was a native of Illinois, P years of age, but had spent most of his life in Nebraska. He came to Im- perial Valley in November, 1903, with V. F. Kucera and James Burns, and went to work on the Keystone ranch.
 He was sober. industrious and re- liable young man standing high in the confidence and esteem of the community. He leaves i'll his old home at Lodge Pole, Cheyenne Co.,, Nebr., father, mother, three sisters and two brothers to mourn his untimely death. MT. V. F. Kucera has known the deceased for eighteen years, having been close neighbor of the family in Nebraska ey er since Harry was small boy. Quite q number of Towards old Nebraska friends are now living in this Valley and all who could, attended his funeral.
