several days in the valley this week,
looking after matters pertaing TO his
office. He found agencies for three
companies in the valley not authorized

The law provides heavy penalty for
any company continuing to operate
without having secured proper authority

At the last minute G. H. VanStone
of the Hughes Mercantile Co., ar
ranged a series of ball games which
causeda deal of merriment. The first
game was between the sheepmen and
real estate men, played on Wednesday
morning. The lineup Of the boys was
as follows:
Real Estate Men Sheepmen
Green Lasater, catcher. Earl MouIton
Neal Jenson, pitcher. J. A. Thompson
R. A. Marble, 1st b. G. H. VanStone
Chas. Peterson, End base. Bachman
Lee Scott, 3rd base. jim Terry
E. W. Robertson, y j. McGillivray
Earl Scott, f allen McGillivray
J. |. Rawson, | f Duncan McGilliVray
j. l.. Lasater, short stop. Rowe
The score after 9 innings stood IS to
10 in favor of the sheepmen. Some
sensational plays we're made, and no
doubt il it could have been arranged
to have had several managers Of
League teams here to watch the game,
Numerous Estancians would be playing
in League teams another season. j.
L. Lasater was so overcome with sur
prise when he made a hit, that he stood
gazing az the crowd in the grand
stand, forgetting all about first base.
One of his fellow players took in the
situation and secured the base for him,
later exchanging places with him, when
the opponents were not watching. At
another time, j. I. Rawson, on first,
kept his eye on the pitcher, whom he
thought to have the ball, when to his
surprise the ball came to first base man
from the catcher and Rawson was out.
He is still figuring how it happened.
In the next inning the tables turned
and Rawson, who was then playing
first managed to get the ball attached
to his hand in some way, SO that he had
the honor of putting the opponent out.
When John McGillivray was seen hot
footing the bases, twas declared by all
that he was chasing stray buck, for
certain it is that he hit the high places
only.
On Friday morning game was
played between the Farmers. and the
Merchants. After nine hard fought in
nings the score steed 8 to 7, in favor of
the merchants. Some splendid plays

Goetz, Pattison, Booth, Keen and
Keen. Farmers: Moulten, Marble,
Jenson, Scott, Simonson, March, Nc
Ghoe, Bachnan and Walkup.
The display of farm produce was little
less than marvellous. A largo lumber Of
our farmers made displays, and while the
amount shown by eaoI man was net

mense. Samples of wheat were shown
by J. W. -Casebolt, c. B. Howell, G. T.
Woods and A. B. Mckinley. That of
Casobolt tested little over 81 pounds to
the bushol, Of which he threshed IS
bushels per. acre. HowelIs' tested even
81 pounds and Woods.scant6 6 l pounds.
Pumpkins and 6quasho5 weighing as
high as 64 pounds were shown in a.
5undanco, One Of these monsters
measured . little over 81 inches in length
Beats, both table and sugar proved be-
yond doubt that this Valley is the home
Of this vegetable. Samples Of the table
variety l6 inches in circumference and
II inches long, showed what enormous
size these roots attain. Turnips and rut-
abagas, cabbage, CARROTS, radishes Gu
cuinbers and colIard added their part to
the display. In melons there was mon
stor watermelon weighing 45 pounds at
the head of the list with many others.
Various kinds and shapes or cantaloupe,
musNnalon, pornegranate were in evil
dance. Mrs. Porter showed a sample of
celery demonstrating that this delicacy
grows to perfection here. Onions of i'm
menco proportions lent their fragrance
and aroma.
It has been contended that potatoes

one year a crop will be raised and the
next nothing This theory has been
exploded as often as sprung. S w
T H Irwin, VIM Leathers,
and E L Grover displayed Irish potatoes
that would make Micky ashamed to say
that he ever tried to grow anything in
tubers. Several of these weighed within
an ounce of two pounds each. No dan
ger of starving in the valley, when one
can produce such tubers
While this has never been held to be
a corn country, yet the display showed
that feed need not be shipped in any
more. A number of varieties, from the
native Mexican to the Yellow Flint were
shown all we'll matured and full grown.
Mr., Ludwig showed one ear twelve and
q half inches in length. Milo maize,
broom corn, alfalfa and oats proved
that sufficient feed and to spare can
readily be produced.

Investigation Demanded.

Last year the administration with
great flourish OF trumpets prosecuted
the Northwestern Print Paper trust
and succeeded in having its dissou-
ton decreed by the court. How worth
less this kind OF trust-busting is can
be Judged by the fact that the trust
is still doing business at new stand
and under combination that has
so far escaped the injunction OF the
court. Hon. John Sharp Williams. the
leader OF the Democrats in the house
of representatives, is trying TO pass
a resolution directing the department
OF commerce and labor to make an IN
vestigation with view TO discovering
how far an agreement between the
