PLAN ACTIVITIES OF
WINTER POLO SEASON
Several Tournaments and a Match
Crack English Team Promise
Unusually Busy
@Times

The regular polo practice of the Los
Angeles Polo club has been tempo
rarily abandoned because of the abb
sence of Rufus p. Spalding, the mill
lionaire yachtsman and captain of the
local team, who at present is in Ha-
wall attending to business regarding
an estate on the western island. Upon
his return it Is expected that the Win
ter polo season will open with vim, be-
ginning with a regular tournament,
which will be played on the new
grounds of the Annandale Golf club.
A crack English team will be seen
in action at the Pasadena grounds in
competition with the local team, after
which the sport will be resumed at
Coronado in the regular yearly tour
nament, which bids fair to ecliItse all
previous tournaments ever held in Cali
fornia.
The polo ponies used bv the members
of the local polo team rank among the
most expensive animals in the world.
Each animal represents the blue blood
of the quine world and they have been
trained from the weaving period to
nothing but polo.

the Occidental team off their feet, but
when the teams started play and the
hill boys could not run off any of their
open formations they seemed to be
taken unaWares.
Occidental started the game on the
offensive and a special system for
breaking up the high schools forward
pass and onside kick had been worked
out. The Presbyterians showed better
open work and luck seemed to favor
them, a triple pass resulting in for
ward pass which was pulled off by
them in the last half brought the
crowd to it's feet, and several other
times the Presbyterians pulled off trick
plays which the high school boys could
not break up.
High school went into the game
overconhdent because of last year
easy victory, while the Occidental men,
quiet and determined. outfought them
and beat them at their own game.
Nevertheless there are several play
ers on the high school team who are
| deserving of mention for their good
work. Cass at quarter was in the
game all the time and ran his team
well, especially in the second half,
when the blue and white took brace
and by determined straight bucks
pushed the ball over for a touchdown.
Decius at half and Geissler at end
also played a good game, the former
getting away on a beautiful split play
for the only touchdown his team could
score.
Disastrous fumbling by the high
school backs in the first half early took
away their chance of gaining and gave
Occidental the ball in dangerous ter
ritory Wieman and Geissler divided
honors in the punting line, both eX-

As early as 1 o'clock the crowds

Prominent Farmer for Congress.

we take pleasure in presentin G to
our readers in this weeks issue, the
Hon. Lee A. johnson, of Sunny
side, wash. a farmer who is can
didate for congress from this, the
third congressional district. Mr..
johnson was a member of the last
two state legislatures, and conse-
quently his position on those mat
ters near to the heart of the farmer
is known to a certainty. Four years
ago. when such step was consider
ed very impolitic, Mr.. Johnson de-
Tended the initiative and referendum
bill then before the legislature, and
was the only member of his party
who spoke in it's favor. He was an
ardent supporter at the measure at
the last session. His record on
local option is too we'll known over
the state to need comment. He is
called the father of local option
measures. He was elso one of the
leaders in railroad legislation. He
favors the parcels post and postal
savings bank. Mr.. Johnson is
especially interested in the two great
enterprises under government con-
troll that mean 80 much to the state
OF washington, viz, irrigation and
the opening of the Columbia river
to through navigation. Mr.. John
son farms in an irrigated country
and consequently his knowledge on
that subject comes first hand. He
worked for an appropriation cover
ing preliminary work on the Colum-
bia while in the legislature, and is
pledged to use his every endeavor
to open the river if he is sent to
congress. Mr.. Johnson has support
ed the state grange in all measures
they have urged in the legislature,
and has received the thanks of their
officers therefor.
Mr.. Johnson g parents were farm
ers and in young manhood he fol
lowed that occupation in. the state
of Oregon. Later he concluded to
enter the ministry and was connect
ed with the Columbia River Confer
ence of the NJ. E. church for
number of years. His voice failing
he left the ministry and took up his
residence in the Yakima irrigated
country, purchased a ranch near
Sunnyside, which he now owns and
conducts. OF late years he has en-
gagged in the hay and grain buying
business, and is also the president
OF the First National Bank of Sunny
side. We feel that in presenting
Mr.. Johnson to our readers, we are
making them acquainted with a
man imbued with their ideas and
purposes in fact, we are introduce
ing you to one of our great family.

ter to the acre. The first grapes
shipped brought 10 cents a pound,
and the quotations now are around
six to seven cents per pound.
Speaking in more general way,
both the orchard and vineyard are
in thriving and growing condition,
the foliage is of fine color, and indi-
Gates strong vigorous trees and vines.
The soil has received frequent sur
lace cultivation, and is wholly free
from weeds and noxious growth.
These frequent civilizations in addi-
ton to keeping down the weeds and
grass, also conserves the moisture,
SO that there has been no trouble
about scarcity of water. To keep up
fruit ranch in such style as this
one is, requires much work; but the
increased growth and yield abund
antly pays for the extra effort. The
well kept orchard with long rows of
wide spreading trees and the vine
yard with wide spreading vines on
the faulty drawn wire trellises make
a sight to delight the eye of the hor-
ticulturist. Certainly it reflects cred
it on the skill and industry of the
management of the ranch. Mr..
Schenk is watching his largest clus-
ters with jealous eye, and laying
to capture some of the Commercial
Club prizes. When Mr.. Stark and
the talented editor of The Fruit
Grower visit our model orchards and
vineyards next month, they will
surely want to see the Burns & Hall
ranch.

A Fine Orchard and Vineyard.

One of the largest ranches set to
fruit and fartherest advanced in
point of growth development is the
Burns & Hall Ranch, southeast OF
town, on the main lateral of the
ditch. It is now owned and oper-
ated by an Incorporated company,
and the resident manager is C. F.
Schenck. The total acreage of the
place is 70. Thirty-five acres are
set to tree fruits, consisting of cher
ries, apples, peaches, plums, april
cots, and pears. Eight acres are in
alfalfa, and something over 60
acres are yet to be set out, half to
pears, and half to apples. The part
of the ranch the most interesting
just at this time is the vineyard OF
nine acres.
The vines are two years old and
are coming to bear this season; the
earlier varieties, like the Sweetwater,
are now ripe, and shipments have
been made for two weeks past, the
first being on August 7th. The
Sweetwater averaged about 10
pounds to the vine. The other vari-
eties are the Black Hamburg, Rose
of Peru, Tokay and Malaga. The
vines are set s feet apart each way,
and there are 660 vines to the acre.
A conservative estimate made by
Mr.. Schenk is an average of 1 pounds
to the vine, which gives a yield of
slightly more than ton and quar-

Max. "If you do, you'll break your
neck"
Il promise not to try" replied Max.
'My neck will serve me many years
yet"
1T will not if you have the habit of
running away with persons above you
in quality. Actions like that are not
permissible in Europe" The colonel
spoke rather grimly, for all his smile.
The door slammed, there was a
grinding of the key in the lock, and
Max was alone.
The library at Doppelkinn was all
the name implied. The cases were low
and ran around the room, and were
filled with romance, history, biography
and even poetry. The great circular
reading table was Uttered with new
books, periodicals and illustrated week
lies. Once Doppelkinn had been threat
er"d with literary turn of mind, but
a bad vintage coming along at the
same time had effected a permanent
cure.
Max slid into a chair and took up
paper, turning the pages at random
What was the matter with the room?
Certainly it was not close, nor damp,
nor chill. What was it? He let the
paper fall to the floor, and his eyes
roved from one object to another
Where had he seen that Chinese mask
before, and that great silver-faced
clock? Somehow, mysterious and
strange as it seemed, all this was
vaguely familiar to him. Doubtless he
had seen picture of the room some
where. He rose and wandered about.
In one corner of the bookshelves
stood pile Of boys books and some
broken toys with the dust of ages upon
them. He picked up row of painted
soldiers, and balanced them thought
fully on his hand. Then he looked into
one of the picture-books. 1t was
Santa Claus story; some of the pic
lures were torn and some stuck to-
gether, a reminder of sticky, candied
hands. He gently replaced the book
and toys, and stared absently into

The girl smiled at Max.
"What?" cried the duke, all the cold

the prince thumped the table again.

did not recollect, but he was finally
aroused by the sound of slamming
doors and new voices. He returned to
his chair and waited for the denoue-
ment. which the marrow in his bones
told him was about to approach.
1t seemed incredible that he, of all
persons, should be plucked out of the
practical ways of men and thrust into
the unreal fantasies of romance. A
hubbub in a restaurant, a headlong
dash into a carriage compartment, a
long ride with a princess, and all with
in three short hours! 1t was like some
weird dream. And how the deuce
would it end?
He gazed at the toys again.
And then the door opened and he
was told to come out. The grand duke
had arrived.
This will be the final roundup" he
laughed quietly, his thought whimsical
ly travelling back to the great plains
and the long rides under the starry
night.

CHAPTER II.

The Grand Duke OF Barscheit was
tall and angular and weather-beaten,
and the whites of his eyes bespoke
constitution as sound and hard as his
common sense. AS Max entered he
was standing at the side Of Doppel-
kim.
There he Isl" shouted the prince.

The duke then addressed her highness.

Il know nothing of him at all, said
the princess curtly.
Max wondered where the chill in the
room came from.

has proved himself to be-a courteous

The duke was furious. He looked
around for something to strike, and

than the prince, otherwise there
