BOUGHT land FOR $500
AND SOLD IT FOR $4,000


Saving a couple OF hundred do
lars while teaching school in YaEi-
ma county. Charles y. Stahl now of
Brawley, Cal, bought 100 acres Of
dry Land near Mabton several years
ago and on Tuesday closed a deal
with Alex Miller, making a profit of
s15.S0o on an investment of exactly
5000.
The land was originally purchased
by Stahl from a homesteader. who de
cided that the land was of no particu-
lar value after he had lived on it for
the required length OF time. But the
flats around Mabtor, including The
100 acre ranch, has been placed un-
der irrigation by the United States
government through the building Of
the Mabton siphon, and there has
been a big jump in land values as a
result
1t is understood that Alex Miller
will sub-divide the property. which
is only a short distance from Mabton,
and that it will be placed on the mar
ket this spring.

Activity of the North Coast rail-
road in purchasing right of way near
North Yakima is anticipated in a few
days, it being announced that Chief
Engineer Pitman will be in the city
today to take up some more work OF
the line. Ezra Dean, one of the right
of way men of the company. is al
ready in the city, but said Tuesday
that he could not announce any of
the plans of the company.
Just before coming to North Yaki-
ma, Dean closed up important right
OF way matters near kiona, and the
road will have "easy sailing" in that
section
While the company has been buy
ing its right of way through the city
and pushing condemnation proceed
ings in the court, there has been no
activity in deals for the right of way
from Union gap TO the city. 1t is
understood this will be taken up, but
no effort Will be made TO secure prop
critics necessary in the Naches valley.
The headquarters for construction
work has been located at Kiona and
there are two contracting firms at
work on the line. Additional con
tracts for the road building are to
be let during the winter. and the
building will be pushed during the
spring and summer.

ILLINOIS CLUB WILL
GIVE A BIG BANQUET
ENTERTAIN A THOUSAND GUESTS
Preliminary Plans Are Being Made
For Gathering to BE Held on
February IL.

Preparations are being made by
the officers of the Illinois club Of
Yakima county, organized Il year ago.
for one of the largest and most elab-
Washington. to be given on Febru-
airy y, in honor of the centenary of
Abraham Lincoln. The banquet will
be the principal event of its kind in
central Washington on that day. and
it is believed will attract former Him
ois residents of all parts of the coun-
ty.
President J. l.. Hughes and Secre-
tary E. G. Van Brundt have announc-
ed that a call will soon be made for
session Of the. arrangements COM
mittee that will handle the event
Among those who will take an active
part in the preparations are J. l..
Hughes, H. NJ. Gilbert, f. G. Van
Brundt, Dr.. A. ]. Helton, Alfred H
Henry, Lee little, and other former
Illinois residents who are now in
North Yakima.
II the preliminary plans are car
ried through, the pavilion on South
Third street will be secured for the
event in order to accommodate the
great gathering that is expected, and
the banquet will be served there. The
number of tickets issued will be lin
tied to the capacity of this hail. prob
ably somewhat over a thousand.
Il believe that Lincoln's centenary
should be observed everywhere in the
United States and should ne a day Of
particular importance to the former
residents of Illinois," said Secretary
Van Brundt Tuesday afternoon The
other officers of the Illinois club feel
the same way and the result will he
a big banquet on February 10. II
will be remembered that the first ban
quet was so well attended that we
could not accommodate all the guests
in the big dining room at the Pacie
fic hotel If that is the way people
come to an Illinois banquet as a us
ual thing. the hundredth anniversary
of Lincoln's birth ought to attract a
thousand, easily. What l wonder is
whether any hall will be large enough
to accommodate the affair.

DUMPING LAKE RESERVOIR
Being RUSHED THROUGH WINTER
HAUL CEMENT FROM NACHtS
Thirty-fivc Teams of Four Horses
Are Carrying Material Up the
Mountains.

Although little construction work
can be done on the great Dumping
lake dam that is to conserve water
for use of irrigation canals along the
Naches river valley. the United States
reclamation service is rushing It's
preliminary work toward the build
ing of this immense reservoir struc-
ture.
Thirty-fve teams of four horses
each have been secured for service
in hauling cement and other construc-
ton material from Naches City MP
the mountains to Dumping lake. and
the North Yakima & Valley railroad
is busy hauling carload lots Of sup
plies to Naches City for this work.
Included in the shipments are feed
for the horses used for the transport
tation work and also for the animals
to be used at the dam.
Two carloads of small dump cars,
such as are used in ordinary con-
struction work. Will be taken TO Ma
ches City this morning and will be
hauled by wagon from that town to
the top of the mountains. The dump
cars reached North Yakima on Tues
day over the Northern Pacific rail-
road, and were transferred to the
Valley line during the evening.
The fact that the government is
pushing its work on the Dumping
lake and the McAllister meadows res
ervoirs. as we'll as on the Teton can
al, makes the shipping to Naches City
of much Importance and there is not
a day in which there is not one or
more carloads of reclamation SER
vice supplies for the North Yakima
G. Valley railroad.

The last meeting of the old council

with the receiving Of property which
was alleged to have been stolen
which formed the basis Of the com
plant against them, advanced by the
police and the police committee. This
was granted and after talks by the
proprietors, Councilman Miller stat
ed that he was unalterably opposed
10 the granting of 4 license 10 these
men, whereupon Andrew Johnson,
owner of the building. asked that the
license he granted 10 him instead.
After extended discussion and after
promise from My. Johnson that the
former proprietors would not be con-
nected with the saloon hereafter, the
license was granted upon motion of
Councilman Smith and supported by
Councilman Null.
The petition of John SwOpe for a
saloon license to be in effect al -
South Front street was referred TO the
poice committee.
The bids for the extension of the
Beech street sewer were opened and
tn Western Concrete, Machinery &
Manufacturing Co, represented by
Ralphp Harris, was awarded the con-
tract for $3.50. he pipe 70 be OF

THE DRIVE THROUGH THE INFIELD

How often do you see some man
at bat pull off the unexpected and
completely upset defense, catch
ing it flat-footed?
For instance, take a case of a
runner on base and no one out, the
infield drawn in for bunt. The
moment the ball is pitched the first
and third basemen rush toward the
plate, the pitcher steps in the direc-
ton he believes the ball will go,
the catcher jumps over the plate
and every man is in action.
If the batter does lay down the
ball the chances are one of the nu
merous fielders will grab it and
throw him out at first, which, of
course, Is all right, providing sac
rifice Is intended. But how much
more effective is the play when,
instead Of bunting, the batter takes
healthy swing at the ball and
drives it through the infield mile
a minute, crossing the defense and
perhaps scoring the runner while
he reaches second.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-07-16

married the pleasure when a poor,
poor fan, out in the bleachers, went
down before a foul tip off Capron's
bat. His right cheek bone was
slowed in and he was carried off
the grounds by the base ball play
ers on an improvised stretcher.
