The attendance in the grand stand
was very small and the boys did not
do very well financially. Base ball
boosters In Central City should know
that the high school has a winning
team this year and every ticket bought
for local game helps to pay the ex-
penses of entertaining an outside
team. II the town will give the team
the right kind of support by buying
tickets to the grandstand for local
games, the manager promises to
schedule some good games with crack
high school teams from other towns.
II you feel like giving the boys a
boost. the way to do 1t is to buy a
half dozen tickets to the next game.
The entire proceeds Of every game
go to the high school team.

Last year the United States For
estry department was asked to furn.
ish trees to the schools for the pro-
ject Of reforesting the land in and
near Central City. The chief forester
replied that trees would be available
either this year or next at the Pixies
Peak Planting station near Colorado
Springs and that he would gladly
furnish free. trees adapted to this al
titude IS soon as they became large
enough to be transplanted. The re
quest was repeated this year and
II the trees are ready they will be
secured. 1t is likely however that
