BASE BALL DOINGS

Jupiter Pluvius or whoever it is that has the handling of the rain proposition in the upper regions stepped in yesterday, and saved the Bacnelors from another defeat. It rained too hard to play ball. As a result the youngsters are "deelight- ed The tide will be out evenings during the first part of this week and If the weather is not unpro- pitious 5-inning game will be pulled off some evening during the week, starting about 6;30. If pleasant evening developes there will be no difficulty in getting in that many innings.
 Willis Murphey is in receipt of a letter from w. A. Weaver, of South Bend, Wash, offering to come and take place on the ball team. Mr. Weaver was pitcher on the Juneau team last year, but didn't like the treatment he received from that city. He is carpenter by trade.
 The Metlakahtla ball team is getting itself in shape for game with Ketchikan, Memorial Day. It's about time Ketchikan got busy on the same proposition
 Homer Daily, Ketchikan's star base ball rooter, writes that he saw a game between two of the big teams in Chicago recently, and it was just as interesting to watch as a match

FROM TUESDAYS DAILY

Is Ketchikan going to celebrate this year or not? It's up to the buisness men of the town. A representative of The Miner has called upon most of the business men and with one eXcep- tion they were all heartily in favor 0 l it. But the point is to get them to- gether on some proposition satisfac- tory to all concerned. There are probably a dozen different ideas ot the kind of Fourth we should have, and just what middle way can be gotten to suit all is hard nut tc crack. There's nothing like public meeting to thrash things out in, so it has been decided to call one for three o'clock tomorrow, Wednesday after noon. If you are interested, come out, have your say, do your shar , and the celebration will be the success it should be.
 If Ketchikan is to hold her position as the supply point for the mines and camps of this district it is up to her to show her interest in those mines and camps and it is a matter of pure business for the town to spread itself once in the year, at least. We ex- pect the people around here to come and spend their money with us; we must return the compliment. 
 The launch Onward is one of the lightest boats plying out of Ketchikar since she got her electric light plant to working. E. W. Gurney, her owner, informs The Miner that he has electric lights installed, includ' ing head light and side lights. These lights are supplied, when the engine is still, by storage battery capable of keeping them going for 80 hours. This absolutely removes any danger of fire. She will leave on her regular trip to Yes bay, Bell Island Hot Springs and other points, Friday morning.

Found Some One In the House.

Ed. Gano and wife we're in the
city Wednesday evening attending
the carnival, returning home
quite late. As they neared their
house they saw rig with a man
standing near the house. As
GanO approached the man drove
off and whistled. When Ed. got
into his yard be noticed a light
burning up stairs. That was a
mystery to him as neither he or
his wife had left a lamp lit up
stairs. About the same time thew
saw a match being struck in the
dining room, anc they at once
suspicioned that something was
up. RousiDg the hired man, who
it seems sleeps in some other
building, he was left TO watch the
house while Ed. took his folks
over to Russell's. Of course one
man couldn't very we'll watch all
four sides Of the building, with
the result that when Ed. returned
with Sheriff Dalziel and Marshall
Wilson, who had been summoned
from town. the burglar was gone.
As far as they could see nothing
had been disturbed, the pair hav-
ing evidently just got started on
their work.

Iett.f TO Mr.. John D. Tucker.

Great Bend, Kans.
Dear Sir:-A big mill owner, Spar
tansbnrg, S. C. wanted 5000 gallons
Of paint, and bought by price; paid 5
cents less than our; got "lead-and-
zinc" paint; but the lead was sulphate
of lead, not carbonate. Sulphate cost
about half; and covers about half.
That paint was adulterated about
six times as much as the 5 cents paid
for. He saved" 5certs; andit cost
him 80.
Oh no; it cost him more than that;
we forgot the labor. Can't work it
out exactly, don't know how long it'll
wear. Short measure besides; that
alone was twice as much as his "sav-
ing" 5 cents.
1t was thin, too; some loss theres
don't know how much.
There was too much dryer in it
The maker made something on that;
he didn't.
Taking it altogether, he didn't
make much by that 5 cents
Go by the name; and the name is
Devoe lead.and zinc.
Yours truly,

LAND PATENTS OF INTEREST.
Signatures Of Two Of the Early PresI'
dents on Them.

W. K. Mccall Of the Franklin Coun-
ty State bank of Ottawa, who is some
what Of gatherer Of relics, has three
land patents which are pretty inter.
esting considering that the signatures
OF two Of the early presidents Of the
United States are contained in two Of
them, says the Kansas City Journal.
Two OF the instruments are patents Of
land in the northwest territory. One
Of them is TO land in Belmont county,
Ohio, and the other to land in Jeffer-
son county. Jonathan Pickering re-
ceived a track Of land In the first.
named county. The patent was signed
on June %, 1926, by President Adams.
The signature reads simply y. Q. Ad.
ans" The other patent was made to
William Johnson, and was signed by
James Madison, president Of the Unit.
ed States, on July 30, 1912. The third
instrument gives a tract Of land in La
Sale county, Illinois, to James Cald-
well. The patent was signed by ]. X.
Stephens, secretary to President Polk.
for the president, on December /.
1910. The instruments are made Of
sheepskin. They were gathered By the
father Of Mr.. Mccall.
