ON NEW DAM

Over 800 men are at work on
the new dam to be built this sea-
son in the Spokane river just above
Nine Mile bridge by the Graves

in the vicinity Of the site is fast
changing by the preliminary work
in preparation for tramways and
other utilities necessary for con-
struction work. The timber and
brush along the river bank will be
inundated after the dam is con-
structed Is being removed. The
back water is expected to extend
about five miles up the stream.
The dam is to be built of con-
crete and with its tributary works
will cost not far from 100000.

Did you ever hear the story
about how Cy Young forsook his
original declaration that he would
not play baseball on Sunday? Stan
ley Robson, owner of the st. Louis
Cardinals, tells it like this:
'1n the old days when the Tenn
pie cup series was the big event of
the year at the regular seasons
close, and the top teams fought
pretty hard for the opportunity to
contest in lne series, because it
meant several hundred dollars eX-
ira money to each of the lucky
players. Well, Cleveland and Pitts
burg and New York were fighting
for first and second place positions.
Old Cy Young was with us at
Cleveland, but had refused to play
Sunday baseball. I think he had
religious scruples against it-any-
way he never played on the Sab
bath. We were to play Pittsburg
one Sunday and it was almost nee
essary that we should beat them if
we wanted a chance at the Temple
cup. On Saturday Young went to
the captain and asked permission
to pitch the Sunday game. what

SMOKE TOWN IS
AFTER LOCAL
SERIES

Yesterday President Dorsey of
the Spokane baseball club received
a telegram from Butte asking if 1t
could be arranged SO that Butte
instead of coming to Spokane to
open series of five games com
mencing Wednesday could remain
on its own grounds and Spokane go
there. In connection with this
telegram Dorsey this morning
said:
Il do not think it advisable to
take the team away from Spokane
for this series and therefore l have
not yet answered the telegram be-
cause I must see some other par
ties and get their opinions"
Just imagine the mere PROPOSE
ton to transfer the games from
Spokane to a smoke-eating town
like Butte! It's an insult upon
local fans who up to this season
have prided themselves as being
the best attending town on the cir
cult.
The proposition, coming from
Butte, was more in the way of a
sheer, and some people took the
matter seriously.
1t has been suggested that il
Spokane went next season without
professional ball the season fol-
lowing would witness record break
ing crowds whether the Spokane
team led In the race for the pea
nant or was in the basement all
the season through. The fans and
those interested in baseball games
will remember the old Northwest
league and its troubles and then
the fine games when 1t was the Pa
cifc National league.
If Spokane fans don't want to be
disciplined by having the league
games kept from them 1t would be
advisable to turn out and boost the
players. Boosting is what makes
them play-it's like giving candy
to a kid to get him to mind well.
The last game of the series with
Grays Harbor was played yester-
day, the Grays winning by a score
of to 6. The Indians played
trim, errorless game, but were
l.. h
was a lack of team play and it
looks as though there's not signal
used that two men on the team
understand.
The fans, instead Of roofing for
their local team, or roasting the
Grays. commenced to boot both
teams. That is far from the proper
spirit.

GRAFT OF THE GRAFTERS.
Smooth Swindte Is Being Worked in
Small Towns.

From Saturdays Daily.
Several newspapers are relating the
story of smooth graft that is being
worked in various parts of the state.
One enters business house, makes a
small purchase and offers $40 bill in
payment, gets his change and departs.
Then his confederate enters, makes his
purchase and hands the clerk 81 bill.
When his change comes he insists that
the bill was $40 bill, and asks that
the proprietor be called when the clerk
states that it was 81 bill. The CRATER
tells the proprietor that the thing can
be easily settled. The $40 was all the
money he had he says. A short time
before he had occasion to wish to re-
member telephone number and jotted
it on the bill "See if 969-LI is not
marked on a bill in your cash drawer"
he says. 'If you find such bill it is
mine" OF course that inscription had
been marked on the $40 bill by the
first visitor and the proprietor no longer
hesitates before such conclusive proof
but hands over the bill and calls down
the unfortunate clerk who believes his
sight has served him a trick.

WATERS NEAR BLUE EARTH.
Investigators Tell What Is Contained
In Them.
From Saturdays Daily.


The investigation of the underground
waters in the vicinity of Blue Earth,
now being made by the photographic
branch of the United States geological
survey, shows that the well waters in
this section are derived principally from
five geologic strata. The most readily
available of these is bed of gravel
that occurs at depth of about forty
feet. This bed furnishes water to only
few wells and it is not recommended
as it is liable to be contaminated by
surface drainage. Sixty to eighty feet
below the surface is second gravely
bed, between clayey layers, the water
from which seems to be of fair quality
and is probably free from danger of
contamination. A third water bearing
stratum, at depth of 40 feet, yields
an abundant supply of hard and irony
water. The best and safest water In
the city comes from two beds of sand,
stone, at depths of 240 and 300 feets
and the supply seems to be inexhaust-
ible. All wells should be drilled to the
gravel at a depth of lao feet or to one,
of the deeper sandstone beds

MOTION IS DENIED.
City's Judgment Against Two Prop
erty Owners.

rToi1 odtuiudy t'dhF
Judge Cray this morning filed de-
cisions denying the motions of H. L..
Schmitt and Lonsdale & Simmons for
orders vacating and setting aside the
orders for judgment in favor of the
city of Mankato i'm the matter of the
Broad street paving assessment. He ac-
companies the decisions with the fol-
lowing memorandum:
eff this were motion to excuse a
default, and for leave to answer or file
objections it would appeal strongly to
the discretion of the court. While the
second paragraph of section 30 of the
city charter providing for personal no.
ticc of the application for judgment
provides that failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of the pro-
ceedings, yet l think that it fully war
rants the court in exercise of it's dis
cretion in eXcusing the default or fail
ure to answer or object by prop
erty owner not so notified and who has
had no actual notice of the application.
But this is not motion to excuse a
default, and does not appeal to the dis
cretion of the court. 1t is motion
t. set aside the decision and judgment
upon the grounds, among others, that
the court was without jurisdiction in
the premises. The property owner
stands strictly upon his legal rights.
A determination of this motion in his
favor practically disposes of the entire
matter in controversy.
81 am not prepared to hold that the
court had no jurisdiction to order judg-
ment herein, and as to whether the pro-
posed answer or objections attached to
the notice of motion constitutes any de-
tense to the application for judgment,
1 express no opinion, because upon this
motion it is not asked that the property
owner have leave to file or serve the
same OF the issues therein made.
"The court is without authority OH
notice of motion to grant relief not
asked for, or that does not fairly come
within the purview of the notice of mo-
ton. l think that the motion should
be denied. Lorin Cray, district judge
