BASEBALL SYNDICATE
FOR WENATCHEE
MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO BUY
AND ENCLOSE GROUNDS NOW
IN USE BY LOCAL TEAM.

There is a movement on foot
among those interested in the ocal
baseball association to purchase from
its present owners the land now
leased for ball grounds, consisting
of four and half acres.
Should these plans mature it is
the intention of the parties interested
to form an association, issues shares
of stock and proceed with the imme-
diate construction of an athletic
park, which would be a credit to a
city of Wenatchee's size, and which
could be used for all manner of ath-
letic events and sports.
The plans being agitate1 propose
that the park be completely enclosed
by high board fence, that grand
stands and bleachers, necessary for
the proper equipment of such
grounds be erected: that the field it
self shall consist of diamond which
shall be as goo1 as any in Central
Washington, a good track for use in
field events and a good gridiron for
football
OF only would such a park be a
great benefit for the baseball associ-
alton in its own games, but it will
fill a much needed want in high
school athletics. Heretofore, the
trouble has been in not being able
to exclude a certain class of specta-
tors at the football games and track
meets who are of such ealibre that
they prefer TO sneak in than cough
up the price of admission.

TOO DRY FOR
WHEAT CROP
AROUND QUINCY THE WIND HAS
DONE DAMAGE ON THE SANDY
LAND.-LACK OF MOISTURE.

The wheat crop all over Douglas
county is sadly in need of moisture,
states Professor E. F. Elliot, of Wa
terville. The superintendent has
just completed 800 mile drive from
Waterville, going as far south as
Beverly on the Columbia river, and
returning by way of Wilson Creek.
He says that rain would do much
good, and is badly needed.
There has been no rain this spring
to speak of, but it is the lack of
snow last winter that has done a
great deal to cut short the crop in
Douglas county. There was not
much moisture in the ground when
not made as good growth as could
have been desired.
In the vicinity of Waterville the
wheat has been damaged to some ex-
tent by the winds, but the damage is
not serious. AS a general thing the
crop is late in that vicinity, but the
winter crop is doing nicely now and
is in the boot.
A great deal of damage is said
to have been done in some sections
of the wheat fields around Quincy.
Part of the land there is sandy, and
there the wind has blown the roots
badly and will prevent the yield
from being as heavy as was expected.
On the heavy land around Quincy
however, the damage by wind has
not yet been felt. The crop is show
ing up in splendid condition, AMI
hey expect a good yield on the bet
ter lands. Wheat is looking fairly
well there. It is strong and hefty.
Ia the Crab Creek country and in
the SaddeI mountains the dry wealth
er has had q bad effect on the wheat.
The lack OF moisture has retarded
fhe growth. The winds have had a
rood sweep a the wheat fields. anj
the soil is badly blown away from
the roots.-Wilson Greek World.

PEOPLE
HEAR BAND
LAST NIGHT A BANNER ONE FOR
CONCERT IN THE PARK.

According to a rough count made
last night by the Daily World, 1900
people listened to Wenatchee's impe-
rial music makers at the park.
People from in town and out of
town gathered like on a great picnic.
In fact, last night was a holiday for
everybody. They even deserted the
medicine man on the street corner.
The ladies of the Baptist church
provided many tables for the park
and furnished ice cream and cake.
Following the concert the band pro-
ceeded to the lawn of Mrs. Crollard,
where another ice cream social had
been planned by the ladies of the
Catholic church.
