The present extensive use of O. err

early days naturally followed the Gus.
tom OF the telegraph companies In
stringing single pairs of wires Or
poles. Whenever the business grew
rapidly it became necessary to set
very tall and heavy poles, often tower
ing above the trees of the street or
highway. To these many crossarms
were attached in order that the pole
should accommodate as many wires
as possible. Even thus a pole would
become overloaded. The exposure of
so many wires offered a great chance
for the collection of sleet in the winter
time and led now and then to one of
those annoying breakdowns of the ser
vice which, with the best Of manage

A remedy for the overloaded condi-
ton OF the poles was fortunately de-

DREAM AND SONG.

Between the silence md the singing,
Between the dream and song.
There falls the sterner task of living,
The gates of Right and Wrong.
Alas for him who chooses blindly.
To whom the time is long;
Whose Real is blinded by his Fancy
Between the dream and song.
Alas for him! The gates are open,
The choice is OF the will;
Between the fancy and the living
What will that heart fulfll7
Lord, in his haunted wells Of Fancy
Thy rays of Truth let fall,
And let thine arms Of Faith encompass
Around him, like wall.
Between the silence and the singing,
Lord give him strength to live;
And TO the phantoms of his Fancy
Thy light Of morning give.
Lord give him strength. who drsam-

To meet itsas a dream;
To leave upon the walls of Fancy
The things that merely seem.

When Love is master of the singer,

bate on the Referendum

In well fought contest between
the teams of the Waterville and We

Harry McCardell; for Waterville,
Miss B. Waters, Herbert Price and
Harry Lovejoy.
While the battle was we'll fought
it was highly evident that the victory
was for the home team. Seventy
five per cent was allowed on argu-
ment and 25 per cent on delivery.
While the visiting team put up
good array of arguments in favor Of
their side of the question the home

what in their presentation. Plenty Of
yells from the supporters of each side
in the audience kept the debaters
keyed up to the top notch during the
entire contest.

Indoor Baseball at Quincy.

The first of the winters enter
tainments hit town Wednesday eve
ming when the Commercial Clubs
first indoor baseball game was
played in Dickinson's Hall. 1t was
fun from start to finish; fun for
both the players and spectators.
However, there were but few spec
tators as it being the initial game
the club did it on the quiet to some
extent $50 as to get on to the ropes"
before giving a public exhibition.
During the afternoon Messrs.
George, Delivuk and Boblet screened
ali the windows and the grandstand
with poultry netting, behind which
" ere also placed the lights, the floor
marked off, and several other need
ed things, and the game commenced
about 8 o'clock. The ball used meas-
ures 5 inches in diameter a1d
weighs ounces, being made with =
dcaIening material, so as 1t may not
be driven with any great force. The
bats are about two and three quar-
ter feet long and one and three
quarter inches in diameter. cwins
to the size of the hall only seven
men on a side were played, although
nine men may play. The hall also
was very poorly lighted, for the
game, but what was fair for one
side was equally fair for the other
and it perhaps made more fun out OF
the game.
The line up was as follows:
Invincibles-J. Dormaier, p; r..
Wightman, c.; r. Stewart, 1st b.; 2.
Dormaier, I'd b.; E. E. Boblet, Sd b.;
F. T. Campbell, rf.; c.. Dormaier, If.
nconquerables-F. j. George.
p.; G. D. Banko, c.; H. H. S. Van
velsor, 1st b.; ]. Huether, I'd b.:
J. Spanier, Cd b.; L. Delivuk, IT,;
C. Tedr.ck, rf.
The score was % to &c in favor
of the. Invincibles. No double plays
or home runs were made. E. H..
Pfaf was official umpire and every
one else helped out unoficially. The
umpire at this game needs voice
like a Steam piano.
Another game will be played next
week.

WENATCHEE PEOPLE
Can BORROW MONEY
Oregon Mortgage Company Advises John
Gellatly It Is Ready to Resume Busi-
ness Loaning Money on Lands.

Financial confidence seems to be
slowly renewing itself, as far the
the Wenatchee valley is concerned at
least.
When the first furry of threatened
panic struck the Northwest two
weeks or more ago, mortgage and
loan companies crawled into their
shells like turtles, and suspended all
activities.
But now one of the best known
concerns in the Northwest, the Ore
gon Mortgage Company Of Portland,
has sent a letter to John A. Gellatly,
it's local agent, stating that it is
ready to resume its practice OF loan
ing money on irrigated lands. 1t

NOAH'S DIARY
IS A FROST
Copper Tablet, Claimed to Have
Been Inscribed by Owner of the
Floating Zoo, is Bogus.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 15.-An al
legged copy from Noah's diary, en-
graved on a copper tablet dug up in
Michigan and offered for sale to a
Wisconsin collector, has resulted in
uncovering one of the cleverest relic
swindles of recent years. A former
secretary of state is claimed to be
implicated in the affair, and with
HIN are a university museum cura-
to, and other Michigan men.
Michigan copper formed the basis
of the enterprise, which consisted ip
roaEing ancient relics out of coppet.
painting them green to represent yer.
digris, dipping them in corrosive acid
and burying them in mounds, after
which they were dug up by relic
hunting expeditions under the lead
ership of the promoters.
The afidavits of prominent citizens
that they had seen the relics dug
out of the ground were sufficient to
secure their sale to credulous collec-
tors, no one dreaming that the pre-
historic age might have been eleven
months before.
Bogus Relics.
Indian copper implements, battle
|, axes of leaf copper, well tempered
spearheads and many other rare
relics have been found to be bogus.
AS a finishing touch to the gigan-
tic swindle, the relic manufacturers
tl anched off from Indian relics.
They went so far as to dig up in
tie presence of reputable witnesse,
bronze tablets inscribed with hero
glyphics and symbols of the Biblical
deiuge and the Tower of Babel. The
diary of Noah was offered to a
wealthy man of Wisconsin, who ask
ed the advice of "a museum curator
as &C the adyisability of accepting it..
This luan had considerable expert
enee and warned the Wisconsin man
10 beware.
