giving to the people of this country
the best that can be given them. The
first flag that | raised in the organi
zation of this service l was compelled
to go to the timber and cut the pole
myself, hire a man to haul it into
town, dig the hole myself; / also had
to insist that carpenter allow me
the use of his shop and tools for the
.ps..se.e- OF paelins and painting the
pole, and then had to insist upon
drayman hauling it for me. And
when that flag was raised, not soul
in town knew tiff he did-he didn't
see it. There was not cheer! This
work has been going on for the past
four years, but today's is the great
est celebration that | have seen.
| thank you again for your kind
appreciation of this, and let me say
again, that if you people will do as
you are instructed to do, follow the
advice of the forester, YOU WILL
NEVER RUN SHORT OF WATER IN
THIS COUNTRY, NEVER! We have
use books, full of useful informa-
ton, pamphlets, ETC., everything pos
sible to give free to the people in
the way of information that will as
sist them. And to these school chill
dren in particular, / want to say: 1t
is your duty to study the forestry
problem, learn all about it that you
can. You are welcome to all the
assistance and information that / can
give you.
"The forest service has not come
among you for the purpose of .injur-
ing you; settler, or anybody else
who needs timber for his own use,
in his home work, can get it free of
charge to the value of at least twenty
dollars a year-and more If neces-
sary. But the speculator, the mono
polist, must buy his. They cannot
take away from the people that which
the government says belongs to the
people-and which the people may
have for the asking"
AT the conclusion of Mr. Shelters
remarks, the band played THE Star
Spangled Banner" the crowd cheered
and Miss Vivien Crane pulled the
halyard t at floated the Grand Old
Rag to tie aiessom-scented breezes
OF the We-a:chee valley. The Big
Red Apple, donation from the
Chewawa Cafe. hangs suspended just
below the flag, juicy tribute to the
land that raised it.
Several hundred school children
were present. and during the cere-
monies an official photographer took
views of the big crowd.
One judsa, three well known local
attorneys at law, and about half of
the other men present stood with
their hats on which the national an
them was being played. This was
the only regrettable incident Of the
flag raising.

YESTERDAYS GAME
BIG SENSATION
Kids Remove Epidermis From We
natchee's Veterans-Fun
Furnished for Fans.

There was an accident at yester-
days ball game.
The kids walloped the veterans.
Old professionals like Jack Over
dorf, Stats Green and Terry Ross had
a kink put in 'em by batch of three
year-olds.
1t was fun, however, for everybody.
The appalling score was Is to 6 in
favor of the juveniles.
Several spectacular plays marked
the afternoons game; they couldn't
be called "grand-stand plays" be-
cause the grand stand has been
pulled down and the lumber used to
build an outhouse
A write-up of the game by innings
is impossible-only an expert on ac-
robatics and ''jiu jitsu'' could touch
it. Half the time the spectators
couldn't tell whether they were
watching baseball or 'leap-frog."
Terry Ross had several narrow
escapes. Time and again some care
less Kid batter knocked a fly right
at him, and he only saved his life
by sensational ducking feat.
Overdorf wore his wing OF in the
3Sth inning, and Electric" Elkhorn
jumped into the box. He fooled the
batters-the stick wasn't long
enough to get his bigh balls. II Elk
horn pitches again the .batters will
insist that he use a wooden ball from
the bowling alleys so they can see it.
Frank Keller umpired-an and es-
capped by a miracle
During wrangle he said, Il don't
care what the rules are; when say
they're out, they're out!" tThey
were.)
The team work and fielding of the
youngsters was particularly good
their pitcher, Granvelt, had a game
leg, but he delivered the goods.

Use More Wood Than Grows.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The
United States forest service has is
sued circular saying that this coun-
try consumes every year between
three and four times more wood than
all of it's forests grow in the mean
time, and that if this is continued the
result will be timber famine. A
policy of government control and reg
ulation Is recommended as a remedy.
The Pacific states, it says, will soon
take the prepondency in timber pro-
duction.

Hundreds Cheer and Band Plays National
Anthem as Old Glory is Floated
Over U. S. Foresty Office

Amid cheers from hundreds of as
sembled spectators, and to the STIR
ring strains of the national anthem,
the Grand Old Flag was raised over
a government Office at noon today
the first time in Wenatchee's history,
Attached to the halyard, emblema
tic. of Wenatchee's peerless product,
hung Big Red Apple.
The program opened with 1.-THE
Steel King" march by the Wenatchee
Military Band, which was followed by
short explanatory speech by Mayor
Scheble. He said Ladies, gentle
men and school children: We are
gathered here for the purpose of wit

flag for the first time in Wenatchee.
have great pleasure in presenting
to you the Hon. Frank Reeves, who
will now address yod.
Frank Reeves said: THE raising
of the American flag over a govern
ment Office in Wenatchee is an epoch
in the history of Wenatchee. 1t car
ries with it some solemn obligations,
and should cause to sink home in the
mind of every citizens present-and
especially in the minds of these
school children-the realization that
they ARE CITIZENS of the great re-
public of the United States, and
make them alive to their obligations
as citizens. 1t too often happens that
we are prone to think of the govern
ment as a faraway institution, of
which we are but a distant part, and
an institution which has little or no
interest in us. This flag raising here
today solemnizes the fact that you
are a part, that / am a part, that
every school child here today, is a
part of the great government of the
United States-the greatest govern
ment in all the civilized world; ana
constant duty to SO conduct our
selves that we shall be respected
and respectable, under the flag which
guarantees us our rights. The flag
is as much in our keeping, as we are
under it's blessed protection.
Mayor Scheble next introduced the
Hon. D. b. Shelter, the new forest
superintendent. Mr.. Shelter spoke as
follows:
Ladies and gentlemen of Wenat-
chez: We have come among you to
be of use to you-to give you that
which belongs to you. We are here
as your friends-not as your enemies.
We are here to protect your interests
and your rights, because in the past
you have not been able to protect
yourselves as you should be protect

San Francisco, Sept. 1-According to passengers who arrived from the Prybiloff Islands on the steamer Hom- CT the Japanese sealing poachers are very active this season, but although they made three attmepts but they did not succeed in raiding the rookeries at St. Paul or St. George Islands.

The passengers included two special agents and a number of en- ployes of the Northern Commercial Co. They confirm the report of the Japa- nese raid on one the smaller islands Tn which the little brown marauders attacked the wives and daughters of the native guards.

WORSHIP OF
 ROYAL FAMILY
Second Visit This Year To
 Memorial Church

St. Petersburg, Sept. For the sec ond time si2ce Red Sunday January 19, Emoeror Nicholas today entered the capitol to attend the consecration of the church to the memory of his grandfather. Alexander the Second, who was assassinated in March 1881, on the spot where the edifice was raised. The date of the trip is coinci- dent with the conspiracy trial just closed here, mainly designed to raise the loyalty of the army and the people. It was complete surprise and no un- toward incident occurred.
 The police neglected no precautions to insure the safety of the Emperor. and even went so far as to thoroughly search the city and inspect passports of suspicious individuals. Gendarmes were stationed at every window facing the ronte over which the imperial fam fly passed and owners of houses were forbidden to open their windows under penalty of a fine. Bridge and river traffic was entirely. suspended. The banks of the Neva were lined with marine guides and torpedo boats pat rolled the river. The imperial party arrived from Peterhoff unannouaced, not single salute being fired during the whole stay.
 The emperor is in excellent spirits. but the empress had the same care worn and sad look that has been re- marked so often. The emperor wore a simple uniform with dark blue tunic. The empress was gowned in white silk and wore a white ostrich feather in her hat and string of diamonds Both their majesties remained stand ing throughout the entireceremony which lasted three quarters of an hour. After the ceremony the imperial party left for a cruise on the Gulf of Finland.

The government not being willing to pay $jG0. 900, they simply started in to blackguard the representatives of the government.
