The Ball Game.

SAA~
big double header Xeneas
Xenephon had arranged be.
tween rejuvinated Valley team
and Rogers Campanellas, and
they surely got their moneys
worth.
Much business was doing in
the first game, which the Val
leys took right handily two to
one. Nicely twirled most
beautifully and the boys gave
him gilt edged support. Every
one swatted the everlasting
daylights out of the ball and
if anything but a perfect team
had been lined up against the
Valley the score would have
equaled John DIS divi-
dends. AS it was the score
shows the real merits of tn
two teams. Both hit we'll,
fielded well and gave a real ex-
hibition of base ball.
The second game was a Jan
uary frost. The Valley team
had worn themselves out win
ming the first game and simply
could not start a real game
when Umpire Turner called
them to order for the second.
Also one of the fastest Twill
ers ever seen ON these grounds
pitched for the Campanellas
and he let us down with one
little hit and not one run. But
taken throughout the after
noon was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present, quite a few Of
whom were ladies and it was
good to see them there.
The management is giving a
good line of games with the
strongest amateur teams OBJ
tainable, the crowd is always
on its good behavior and we
would like to see more of the
ladies turn out.
X. X. has built up a good
team, playing classy ball, and
deserving support. If he con-
tinues as we'll as he has started
there is no doubt but that the
team will receive the support
necessary to maintain a good
bal! team.
Yesterdays entertainment
was good start and we hope
to be able to see as good every
Sunday.

grandstand -now what do you

! Creosote Treatment of Posts

Iowa State college has COM
pleted an equipment for treat
ing fence posts with creosote.
By this treatment common soft
wood posts, which ordinarily
last from four to five years,
can be made to last fifteen or
twenty. The treatment costs
less than 10 cents a post. A
common 10-cent post when
treated will last as long as four
untreated ones. The treatment
thus effects 100 per cent saw
ing. The department will treat
several thousand posts for
neighboring farmers to demon
strate the value of the method.
The only apparatus required
is an iron tank of convenient
size arranged so that a fire can
be built under it, and a smaller
tank without the fireplace. The
timber is first thoroughly sea-
soned and then immersed in
the hot creosote and left for
about six hours. The air and
moisture remaining in the pores
of the wood are largely driven
out by this treatment and the
preservative works it's way in.
At the end of the six hours the
posts are quickly transferred
to a cold creosote bath. The
sudden change of temperature
causes the contraction of the
air remaining in the pores and
the creation of a partial vaS
cuum. The atmospheric press
ure then forces the preserving
material into the wood to such
an extent that it becomes thor
oughly impregnated and decay
is practically impossible.
Not very much local traffic
these days, but the through
trains are crowded with pass
1engers enroute north and west.
The mosquitoes were some
thing fierce last evening and
drove most everybody into
their homes. The lowland near
the Valley certainly raises a
fine quality Of "skeets."
Quite a number of out of
town sports were here yester-
day to witness the double
header between Missouri Valley
and the Campenellas. They
were we'll repaid by the first
game and had the second one
thrown on. We will say, how

Bays is not unknown to the
newspaper fraternity of Harri-
son county, having been en-
gagged in the newspaper business
at Persia some years ago, but
sold out and has since been en-
gagged in teaching in this coun-

Necessitated Road Repair

NSSSooleolSA INOdu Repair
Citizens of Mo. Valley yester-
day filed a claim with the Har-
rlson-Po ttawattamie drainage
board for $7S5.64, the amount
said to have been expended by
the city in repairs of roads on
account of the bridges across
the Willow creek drainage
ditch having been constructed
above the established city
grades. The matter was re-
ferred to Seth Dean, the engi-
neer in charge, and he later re-
ported recommending the pay
ment OF S137 which was au-
thorized.
Another communication came
from Missouri Valley in the
form of a petition for the con-
struction of q lateral connect
ing with the Willow creek ditch
and draining a part of the city,
which the board of health has
declared to be in an extremely
unhealthful state. This petit
ton was referred to w. H.
Killpaclk, the boards attorney,
and Seth Dean, engineer.
Seth Dean made his monthly
report upon the condition of
the bitches. He said the Will
low creek ditch had improved
greatly by reason of the wash
ing out of the silt, of which so
much complaint has been made,
and he reports that during the
floods, the drains have all done
excellent work. The board
meets next Thursday in Mis-
souri, Valley.
eve put in the day Thursday
on the Harrison-P ottawattamie
county drainage ditches," said
Col. w. 2. Baker yesterday,
''and they are all right. The
section through which the
bitches run has experienced
tae worst flood within remem-
brance and had it not been for
the Willow creek and Allen
creek bitches hundreds of peo-
pie would have been actually
driven from their homes and
untold damage would have
been done to crops.
"The Boyer, of course, was
high higher than ever before
known. 1t did considerable
damage in the vicinity of Mis-
souri, Valley, as we'll as up the
Boyer valley, but the drainage
bitches cared for the flood in
fine shape. At only one place
did the water get out of the
bitches at all. That was where
a small opening had been left
in the embankment along the
ditch. The damage done was
slight, however.
The water rose nearly: every
where above the top of the nor
NAL creek banks and but for
the leveeS, would have flooded
all The surrounding country.
The silt has all washed out of
the Willow creek ditch and the
channel throughout it's length
has enlarged considerably, Sc
that it exceeds the required
width.
At the outlet measurement
by the engineer, Seth Dean
showed that 5000 cubic feet of
water per second were dis.
charged. At the river the cur
rent from the Boyer ditch has
cut straight channel out to
the main channel of the Mis-.
souri, river, making it unneces.

tematic Benevolence," and at 8
p. m. his subject was Chow to

M, his subject was: s'Christian
Civics." The two last we had
the pleasure of hearing. The
afternoon audience was rather
small, composed largely of la
dies. The evening meeting was
more largely attended, and for
near two hours Capt. Brown
was given very close attention,
and as his subject was on Citi-
zenship, it was interesting and
his arguments properly weigh
ed.
The Captain being a travelling
man, and his business takes him
over several States, giving him
personal experience on the sub
Ject he discusses, although not
a preacher, he, nevertheless,
often occupies the sacred desk.
A Baptist in religion, republi-
can in politics, and an ex-sol-
der, he learned in the army
that when the command of the
officer is: forward march," it
means movement.
His manner is pleasant, and
although not eloquent, his Ian
guage is energetic and easy to
be understood. Many may diff
fer with him i'm some of his con-
illusions, but few will doubt his
honesty of opinion.
His evening lecture was large
ly on the subject of temperance,
and he called everything by its
proper name and left no one
in doubt as to his meaning.
