Mrs. CARRIERS pasture Tuesday evening
after school. The score in the closing
stood 5 to 4 i'm favor of the public
school boys. Although the boys played
their first game, on both sides the
playing was good and fast. President
Dietrich played with the college boys
and Bert CARRIER played with the pub
lie school. Fred Spence was in the
box for the college and Jesse Null be-
hind the ba; and James Ferguson
twirled them for the public school and
Esty Smelser took them from the bat.
The boys expect to play again soon.
r.. ID. Hummer of the mill did the
right thing as umpire. The two
schools can have many friendly con
tests if they will learn to respect the
umpire and stand by him on all de-
cisions whether it is for against them.

way to convince the umpire that you
can play ball. Bert CARRIER made one

Big BEND ELECTRIC.
new RAILWAY PROPOSED FOR
CENTRAL WASHINGTON.
Washington Water Power Company of
Spokane Is Reported as Going to
Extend Line from Medical Lake
West-Largest Stakeholder Investi-
eating Resources Of Route.

Spokane, July 9.-Extension of the
Medical Lake line of the Washington
Water Power company into the Big
Bend country is possibility, accord
ing to w. A. White of New York of
the firm of w. A. & A. M. White,
brokers, who has been in the district
several days looking into the FEAST
bility of the proposition. Mr.. White
is one of the largest holders of stock
in the Washington Water Power com
pany.
1t is understood from Mr.. Whites
remarks that in the event a line of
that character is seriously contem-
plated and plans are made for actual
work in that direction, the company
will endeavor to tempt immediate
earnings by carrying a transmission
line along with the railroad for the
purpose of supplying the small towns
with power, as we'll as individuals.
1t is also understood that the pres
ent Medical Lake line will be the bas-
is of the extension, and that it will
proceed from that point directly into
the Big Bend country.
Just how far the company proposed
to run, what towns it expected to
reach and how much and what part Of
the big wheat country the Washington
Water Power company has it's eyes
upon Mr.. White would not say.
Davenport and the towns and coun-
try between there and Spokane are
the parts of the territory that are
most available and most easily reach
ed by an electric line, and would I'M
doubtedly be the first terminal of a
line Of any consequence.
1t is not improbable that an effort
would be made to strike in between
the Central Washington and the Great
Northern, where large area is left at
considerable distance from both rail-
way lines.

Not One Licensed Saloon Open on
Sunday.
For the first time in it's history the
entire state of New Jersey was dry"
Sunday. There was not a glass of in
toXicants sold in regularly licensed
saloon in the state. The cause was
the enforcement of the new Sunday
closing law enacted at the last session
Of the legislature. Under the law the
entire interior of all saloons must be
exposed to public view, and any sa-
loonkeeper violating the law forfeits
his license. Not only that, but it is
impossible for him to obtain a license
for the same place for period of one
year, and this latter penalty is the one
that assured saloonkeepers living up
to the law With large sums of mon
ey invested in bar fixtures, etc, they
were not willing to take a chance, so

who like q drink once in a while and
who failed to lay in supply on Satur-
day either went thirsty or went to
