SkI-JUMPlNG EXClTlNG
Large Crowd See Contest
Sunday Afternoon--And
Thoroughly Enjoy It

The first eki-jumping tournament
ever held in this city took place last
Sunday afternoon at the Little Falls
Ski Clubs slide in the northeastern
part of the city, and attracted the at.
tsntion of q very large crowd. B ;th
sides of the slide and hill were
crowded with spectators aud ski-riders
from the top to the bottom of the
Mill, and it was WITT great difficultv
that narrow lane for the use of those
contestants who were lucky enough to
remain on their feet after making the
jump, could be maintained
P. s. Johnson was aagman and took
his position at the bottom of the slide
n. N. Bergheim, stationed at the top
Of the slide, started the contest ants,
T. y. Berg was linesman, and Mic
Elvig, Andrew Ring and e. J. Han
son were judges.
Two trial jumps were allowed each
contestant. and then the real fun be-
gan. Thirteen took part in the con-
test and skepticals claim that had q
good deal to do with the large per.
centsge of those falling after taking
the leap through the air
John Fesring, the first to come
down the slide, jumped twenty three
feet and slid on down the bill When
the next two attempted to make the
jump they tailed to stay upright and
rolled, tumbled and twisted in half q
dozen different ways, sending spray
of snow ia the air 50 thick that for 8
second or go they seemed to be almost
Cultivated from view. SO the merry,
healthy Scandi navian sport went on
and became Ameri cauiled IN this city.
Some of the contestants made some
good jumps only to fall. and others
made smaller jumps but remained up
right and went on down the hill.
Notably amongst the first named was
Eddie Berg, who fell every time, al
though making jumps Of %, ~, and
rs feet in his thre3 turns, his last
jump being the longest lamp OF the
contest
At the close of tho contest the points
recorded for each cont .stant were
quickly figured Out and the prizes de-.
clsred won by the folio wing:
Prize 1. John Fearing-s3 it,. s411

2. Elmer Sundstrom-s413 #:
23ft, 211a it.
3. Conrad sundstrom-1s #.
10 IT,. II #.
4. Warren Lakin-s0 it,, q
it., ~ it.
In the last two named cases there
are falls recorded against them. and
character in sliding and jumping were
taken into consideration. which alters
the Grst impress lion that the prize
should be reversed in the case Of 3rd
and 18th prizes. The prizes were 81. %,
81. 90, f75 aud $50.

the success Of the tournament. as they

TO PROTECT YOUNG BUDS.
Yakima Orchardists Preparing to Save
Fruit Crop.

While it is true that the buds on the
fruit trees are somewhat advanced
for. this time of the year, the ma
jority of the orchardists are not
worrying very much about possible
danger from late frosts, says the
Yakima Republic.
Those who believe that harm may
result are making preparations so as
to be in a position TO "smudge" when
the late frosts come. Little piles
made of green twigs-often the re-
suits Of the pruning knife-are to be
seen in many of the orchards and
these will make the smoke required
to keep the frost off the trees.
With the advanced price of or
chards and orchard lands and the rec
ognition of the big profits which can
be made on fruit and vegetables the
best methods of protection from late
frosts are being discussed to a con-
siderable extent hereabouts, and some
inquiries are being made regarding
the preparations Of pitch which are
used extensively in the vineyards of
Europe and California.
This preparation makes a dense
smoke which, hanging low over the
ground, is an absolute protection to
he vineyards or fruit trees when King
Frost makes an attack. It is not
known here whether the pitch prep
arations can be obtained at any near
by point or whether the price is rea-
Some of the orchardists consider
hat while the trees are budding early
here is no particular cause for anxi-
ETY. as the ground is still we'll frozen
and there is likely to be another cold
ipell in the near future, following the
winter weather which is now reported
