Fresno is to present a pitching staff
that will do much toward putting

Baum will be the mainstay of the
Raisin Eaters and will have another
good man to help him out. Lew
Schroeder of Alameda has signed
Randolph of the Los Angeles team,
and will have Blondy Nelson and a
youngster named Johnson, a South
paw from Alameda. Randolph of
course will be Schroeder's star man.

In Elmer Stricklett and Frank Ar
rellanes. Walters and Joe Cor5ett
may also do duty on the firing line
for the Beachcombers but the frs.
named two are the ones who are GO
ing to worry the batters.
OF the three other teams, San Jose,
Oakland and San Francisco, little has
been heard. but Manager Mayer of
the Prune Pickers should be able to
have one fast man on his staff. The
surrender of Arrellanes to Santa
Cruz greatly weakens this depart
ment for Mayer but he claims TO have
ArreIlanes' match in view. Phil
Knel Is also likely to have one
classy man for the mound. The same
may be said of Oakland.
Taking the past records of the
above pitchers and their present
form into consideration things look
foreboding for the willow wielders
and they will have to work for ev-
erything they get. Under such con-
ditions many pitchers battles may be
expected during the season.

KEEP THE WOMEN OUT
OF THE CITY'S SALOONS

II is high time that the ordinance
prohibiting women from entering sa-

of walking through the saloons and

Stole A SACK OF
GRAIN SAY HIS
ACCUSORS

Jim Hotu, Greek, was arrested
yesterday by Constable Wilson on "A
charge of petit larceny, 1t being al
legged that he stole from the 'Har-
wood camp, between here and McGill,
sack of grain. The man pleaded
not guilty. His trial was set by JUS
tice Cartwright for. Monday after
noon at O'Clock.
The complaint was sworn to by
w. o. Ahlstrom and Dave Ahlstrom,
who have charge of the camp. They
allege that the man arrested drove
up to their place in the night with
wagon and calmly getting down,
proceeded to secure sack of grain.
Dave Ahlstrom was not in camp
at the time. but his brother, hearing
a noise at the grain tent, rose and
went to the door. He managed to
get good look at the alleged thief
in the moonlight and fired one shot
over his head. This only had the
effect of making him whip up his
horses. Hotu denies his guilt stead

Men
Open New
Home

Gathering in their pleasant new
home, the memb ers of the University
club last evening elected their Off
GERS and had a general good time,
the occasion being housewarming in
honor of the opening of their quar-
tiers. The officers elected were IL. X.
Plate, president; w. n. McGill, first
vice president; Pope Yeatman, sec
ond vice president; j. NJ. Lockhart,
treasurer; James Backe, secretary.
All of the men elected were active
in the organization of the club and
will doubtless aid much in continu-
ing the success 1t has achieved up
to this time.
After the election of officers had
been completed and other matters of
business attended to, the member of
the club took up various amusements,
cards, music, billiards, etc, which the
club rooms enable the enjoyment of.
The buffet proved highly popular.
Its attraction was greatly enhanced
by penant bearing the letters, ID. A.
Il. o., which was hanging back of
the sideboard. Speculation was rife
for a time as to the meaning of the
mysterious initials, but upon ex-
PLANTATION being finally vouchsafed,
there was rush. The meaning is
a club secret and few If any of the
public are liable to ascertain the sig
nificance of the cabalistic letters.
The home of the club is situated
on hurry street, a detached house of
seven rooms at the Hays Park being
utilized. On the interior it Is ele
gantly furnished There is general
sitting room, reading room and
writing room, a card room, billiard
room, buffet, and two bed rooms.
Since organization the club has
gained largely in membership and
there seems nothing in the way of
continuous and successful life for it.

Another new strike was made this

This time the prize winner Is II. b.

Tonopah and also Interested In the
Cornucopia Mining company In this
district The scene of the new dis
covery is three-fourths of mile
north of the Esther and on a parallel
lead The information, as brought
to town yesterday, is entirely au-
thentic but lacking in details. +. Nj.
Beeson, one of the owners of the
Esther, gave out the news, putting
1t in very matter of fact manner as
only another contribution to many
that are to be expected in his vicinity
as the result of the original discov
cry. Mr.. Sproul was the first out
slider to be taken by Croft & Beeson
along their 1000 feet of rich pan
ming ground, after 1t had been opened
up by numerous shallow holes and
trenches. He noted that the lead
was all blind and its proximity only
apparent in places by indications of
a change in the wash ground. II is
reported that Mr. Sproul found
place where the small broken sur
face rock changed in color and there
swung a pick half dozen times and
thereupon there appeared some soft
oxidized stuff that he tried in the
pan with decided Search

Washington Birthday, an event
which appeals strongly to all patri-
otto Americans. was observed in sew
eral ways in Ely yesterday. At the
court house no business was trans
acted, with the exception of trial of
two minor charges. In every one of
the offices events were slow in trans
piring and except where the occu-
pants were engaged in catching up
loose ends. all took advantage of the
day to make 1t real holiday.
At the postoffice quiet marked the
day the Sunday hours. 10 to IL
o clock, being the only distribution
of mail until after the train came In.
Flags were shown on several build
ings in honor of the occasion, while
entertainments during the afternoon
and evening marked the day at sew
eral homes in the district.
Plans for the dance to be given
next Friday evening by the members
of the +. l.. ID. club are rapidly ma
turing. the young women composing
1t giving large portion of their time
to schemes which will make for its
success. A meeting for this purpose
was held Wednesday evening at the
home of Miss Josephine Schmittroth.
Among novelties which will be in
troduced will be fines for any mar
ried woman who brings her own hus-
band to the ball; fines for each time
a man crosses the hall unattended
by a woman; fines for every false
break on the part of the men who
are supposed to act as nearly lady
like as possible. Beside this the
chaperones. instead of women as is
usual, will be chosen from among
the older men of thed istrict. No
programs will be used and 1t is there
fore probable that every one of the
men attending will be given plenty
of dances to make him happy.

Within a few days announcement
of a smoker to be given by the gen.

it was determined Friday evening
that several boxes of cigars. which
had been received as presents, and
not used, would be utilized on some
evening in the near future for the
delectation of the department.
An enjoyable time was had last
evening by the employees of the Vet

fair. .4
The performance of the Mikado,
which was to nave been presented
shortly in Ely City, seems to have
died natural death. Word has
gone round that no rehearsals Will
be had until further notice is given,
which probably means never. 1t is
possible. however that within the
next week or two, steps will be taken
to revive the opera and push 1t
through to completion.
The dance given Friday evening by
the members of the Ely Volunteer
fire department was one of the most
pleasant events witnessed in Ely for
several months. Everyone present
had a most pleasant evening and the
fremen upheld their reputation as
hosts. Costumes in evidence were
the older men of the district. No
tory of this section and without doubt
each of the prize winners amply de-
served the choice which fell upon
them.
Several bachelor halls have been
established within the last few weeks
In Ely and so far as can be ascer-
tanned all are in fourishing condi-

eral young women, who are without
relatives in Ely Should the orga-

doubt that the progress of the club
would be watched with interest by
the young men who are making free
predictions on the success or failure
of the undertaking.

CANAL BOAT ROOF GARDENS.
Family Parties from Up State in
Comfort at New York.

Family Parties from Up State in
Comfort at New York.
This is the season when the Erie
canal navigator, sometimes irrever-
emily referred to as canaler, takes
along his family, generally numerous
and nearly always a cit brighter than
the aver. ge upstate residents, to
keep him company, says the New
York sun.
The canalboat owner. as rsIe
the skipper also, is the properest
man between Bucalo and New York
city in the period when his children
are on vacation. He believes in edu-
cation and he sees to it that the ut
tie folks get as much OF it as may
be had by attendance at the public
schools of the various towns asong
the line OF the Erie.
The youngsters look forward to
July and August, because they know
that they will get a fleeting glimpse
Of many cities of their state and
maybe a week or more of pleasure
in the biggest show town of the con
tinent. 1t is not far from Erie
Basin or Coenties slip, where the
boats tie up while waiting for car
goes, to Coney island. Life aboard
the boats, the cabins of most Of
which are larger than the dining
rooms of the average country home,
is not half so bad as life in the usu-
al run of fats hereabout.
The skipper is not the man depict
ed by the old-time generation Of
humorist. He does not swear at his
mule1. many of which nowadays are
horses, and he even frowns upon the
driver who INDUCES in cuss words.
Between this port and Troy, where
the horse or mule power is turned of
or on, depending on the direction the
boat is going, the shippers boat
forms part of big tow and he has
to do practically nothing except to
see that his animals are looked after
properly. He keeps them in good
shape because if he does not they
may fail him in emergency. 1t is
pleasant sailing from Troy, and after
the cargo. usually grain at this sea-
son, is discharged, the boat ties up
with lot Of other mastless craft
and the family, particularly the litcle
ones, go in for a good time.
They put on their store clothes,
take rides and strolls through the
city and trips to Coney. hey do
not come Oack to stuffv rooms. On
the after deck, completely covering
the top of the cabins, on al boats
owned by the shippers, are spread
sometimes of the regulation
striped stuff and sometimes of can
vas.
