speaks of our former boys as follows:
"Loeffler, the husky lad from Minnesota,
had thirteen strike to his credit
and several times at critical stages was
as steady as an Old horse and moved
down the batters in one, two, three or
der. Beccue, his partner, played fine

The board of county commissioners at
an adjourned session held Wednesday,
granted the petition for a public ditch
known as the Mcnamara ditch. The ac-
ton on this ditch was for a time some
what delayed owing to the opposition
which developed against it. 1t Seems
that some of the petitioners thought
that the ditch was too large, but the
Others think that the mistake can be
made in getting the ditch too small and
wanted to provide sufficient bed for the
ditch to operate well in all seasons. We
agree with those who want a large ditch
and although the cost will be somewhat
more, we think that in the end they will
be more than satisfied.

BIKE RIDERS
WANT SAND

Bicycle riders are agitating a
movement to cover the bicycle
paths with sand or white crushed
rock. The cinders and black rock
used now leave the paths so dark
that after night it is impossible for
the rider to see the ground, espe-
cially if there is street light
ahead shining in his eyes. Those
who favor a change claim that if a
proper quality of sand could not be
procured, enough rock chips could
be obtained at the marble and
granite works to render the paths
luminous.
