At meeting held in Mr.. Grant s
tailor shop one evening this week, at
which those interested in the sport we're
present, it was decided to organize a
club and secure grounds and funds for
promoting the game. T.. ?. Tolin was
elected manager, and w. G. Pagan
captain Of the nine. Mr.. Toiin says he
will try and arrange for series Of games
with the surrounding towns.
The game last Sunday developed the
fact that there are ball players here Of
considerable ability. All that Is neces~
sary is to organize. The people Of the
town should take steps to secure suita-
bic grounds. Why not buy the old
school grounds for a town park

The matter Of the removal Of the
Federal and Office from Waterville to
Wspatchee has set WaterUille tongues
70 wsgglng The Waterulle papers
say if the and Office IS to be moved,
ghy not move it to Brewster
Or Chelan. Nov this looks ike dog
in the msngsr Argument. There is
but one thought to be taken into con
slderation IN this matter n the Office
is to be removed then it should 20 to
the point most centrally located and
most accessible. n Wsnatchee is
that place then it should 20 there. The
WaterVlIIe talk about forgetting We
natchee because she IS trying to get
the land Office is childish. When il
comes to business dollars and cents
men will buy goods where they can
save money. Sentiment and prejudice
cuts sony figure in business. The
WaterulIe newspapers, With their ever
lasting howl and kick remind one Of a
class that Was numerous IN the nineties
gong up and down the country shout
ing The whole world is against US, we
are the only good and true, there be no
others Everybody else is wrong. We
only are night" Instead Of keeping up
the cslsmaty howl, II the WaterVille
papers would urge their people to
build an electric line to connection
With . railroad there would be no de-
mand fof the removal Of the land office.
It is no greater undertaking than the
bridging Of the Columbia BY the peo-
pie Of Wenstehee. A town that wastes
It's energy in obstructive tactics, never
initiating anything, will fall farther and
farther behind every year. This Is the
age Of do something yourself.

SMALL SIZED STRIKE
Great Northern Car Inspectors Walked Out
Yesterday Want More
Noney

Eleven car inspectors refused to go
to work yesterday morning. The
crew vas already short then on four
men. All day yesterday Foreman
sjort worked BY himself
The grievance IS, Not enough
pay At present the pay Of the men
employed in this service at this point
is s65 per month, II hours per day
and work every day and Sunday
n conversation With one Of the strk-
srs We learned that the demand IS for
the same pay as men in this service
receive at Hillysrd and other points,
s1.15 per day Of ten hours and time
and half for over ame, Sundays and
holidays.
So far the only concession made BY
the company is an offer to raise the pay
70 $40 per month
In the operation Of trains, the work
Of the car Inspector is highly important,
indeed, it IS indispensable. It is his
business to carefully inspect every car
before it goes out. Observing passen-
gers Standing about the depot have no
seed, on the arrival Of a passenger
train, two men on each side Of the
tram examining the wheels, air brakes,
coupling, and in TACT everything about
the running gear Of every car IN the
train, The train cannot proceed with
out the permission Of the chief car IN
spector. For the past fourteen years
Z. Fl Laden, now IN New York on a
visit, has had this position. O. q.
Bjork is occupying the place during
Mr.. Laden's absence.

proud It will be equipped With every
modern convenience, heated with hot

tilation. It Will be large enough for

Iation almost doubles.

On Monday evening, between 8 and
7 O'Clock, fire was discovered in the
roof Of the French Gale. The alarm
vas given by Or. Hozsey and
shortly after an engine footed the fire
alarm. 4 large crowd soon gathered
and altho the fire had gained consider
able headway It was gotten under CON
troll by men with buckets before the
hose cart was brought out.
The damage 10 the building, which
belongs 10 lack Smith, will not amount
TO more than s7s. The restaurant
people lost in the neighborhood Of $50,
confined principally to broken dishes
and furniture,
The fire served the purpose Of calling
the attention Of the people Of this town
70 the necessity Of organization. We
have frequently, in the past, called at
tention to the need Of organization, but
on this matter, as we'll as many others
where the welfare Of the town is at
stake, the people are utterly indifferent.
Six men with a definite purpose,
knowing what they want TO do, are
worth more at fire than an morgan
lied mob Of six hundred working at
cross utifuOscs,

cold which developed into serious case

could neither eat nor sleep we'll.
ga friend who had been cured Of ca

me to try it and did SO at once. 1 ex-
pected help, but nothing like the won
derful change for the better I observed
almost as soon as / started taking it.
ain three days I felt much better and
within a week was well. l continued

Mrs. Maggie Durbin, 1892 North ST.,
Little Rock, Ark, writes:
81 was troubled for five years with a
chronic disease. / tried everything
heard Of, but nothing did me any good.
Some doctors said my trouble was
cafarrh of the bowels, and some said
consumption Of the bowels. One doctor
said he could cure me; took his medi-
cine two months, but it did me no good.
ga friend of mine advised me to try
Peruna and did so. After I had taken
two bottles found it was helping me,
SO continued its use, and it has cured
me sound and we'll.

Peruna did for me if they will write
to me will answer promptly"

not have to send for doctor now.

you advised me, am well and able to

Freshmen class at the University of
Maine was held Thursday evening. 1t
is a custom at the university for the
Sophomore class to welcome the enter
ing class with a reception in which
night shirts and paddles are the two
most conspicuous features.
The Freshmen had been organized
by the Juniors In special meeting
called after chapel and by at night
the whole class, numbering over 200.
had practically taken possession Of the
entire campus. All the time the men
Of the Sophomore class had been quiet
ly sleeping, having learned by expert
ence in their own Freshmen year, that
an organized body Of Freshmen firm
ly backed by the upper class men, has
a great advantage over smaller body
Of Sophomcres, who have to fight their
own battle.
BY II O'Clock the Freshmen, having
tired of their celebration. started for
their homes both on the campus and
in Orono. Half an hour later the entire
class of 1910 was quietly walking to-
wards the northern end of the campus
and the startled Freshmen. who less
than an hour before had enjoyed all
the freedom of the upper classmen,
now found themselves in the power of
the Sophomores. The next four hours
were filed with pleasure and amuse-
ment for the 1910 men. but with humil-
iation and pain for 1911. After the diff
ferent crowds OF Freshmen had given
gauntlet between a line Of Sophomores
over 200 yards long. they were given
an impressive lecture and dismissed
with the warning that hereafter they
are to "be seen but not heard"

Uniform Bill Of Lading
Will Be Discussed.
Conference Scheduled For Next
Monday at New York.
Defective Bills Have Caused No
Little Trouble.

New York, Sept. 2O-Various repre-
sentative business organizations Of the
country will have delegates present at
the conference on the proposed national
uniform bill Of lading to be held in
Atlantic City on Monday next The oh
ject of this conference is to discuss the
best form FOR nationally uniform bill
OF lading in order to prevent the losses
occasioned to bankers and other bust
ness men through lending money on or
receipting for merchandise shipped with
defective lading bill.
George w. Neville, chairman of tie
bill of lading committee of the New
York Cotton Exchange, said today that
heretofore business has been done with
al agricultural products as we'll as a
majority of manufactures on the in
ttsrity of bills of ladng and on the
assumption that the railroads were re-
sponsihlc for such bills when signed by
their agents. He added
THE Investigations conducted by the
bill of lading committee of the Ame;i-
can Bankers Association and the de-
cisions of the various state courts pub
lished in the report OF this committee
have caused a great deal Of concern
among merchants. The importers of
cotton in Liverpool, Bremen and Havrc
and the foreign bankers who buy the
exchange which facilitates the handling
of the American crops held 4 meeting
in Liverpool recently and vigorous pro-
tests were forwarded to the New York
Cotton Exchange by the Liverpool Cot
ton Association against the methods in
use by railroads and steamship agents
in this country in signing bills of lad
ing.
With a view of settling the differ
ences existing between the shipper and
the railroad company regarding the
conditions of bills of lading, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in semi
official way authorized the Carriers As
ISOLATION and the Shippers Association
to formulate an order bill of ladiEg
carriers in the United States t. adopt.
This bill of lading will be submitted to
the Interstate Commerce Commission on
Oct Il. While it is an Improvement;
over that now in use, it by no means
gives protection to the innocent third
party who buys the bill of lading when
he pays n draft with bill of lading at
tached, and as the bill of ladirg COM
mittee of the Bankers Association has
put in substitute for the joint com
mittee's bill of lading, the commercial
, exchanges Of this city and the South
