Mining Operations at BIewett

Major B. A. Cardwell, who is
experimenting the extensive mining
operations now being carried on at
Blewett was in town this week. He
says the work going on now is more
in the nature Of preparation for work
on a more extensive scale to be COM
menced later on. It is the purpose OF
the company which he represents to
make paying mine of the property.
Before investing in the Blewett prop
erty an exhaustive examination was
made by Major Cardwell, who is a
mining man of many years experience
both in placer and quartz properties
and is confident that the Blewett
property is the making of a mine.
Work began some three weeks ago
and is progressing very satisfactorily.

SNATCH VICTORY FROM DEFEAT
LeaVenworth Cubs Win from Wenatchee
After They Had Practically
Lost the Game

The most phenominal game of ball
ever played on the home grounds was
pulled off last Sunday, when the Cubs
defeated the Wenatchee Fruit Eaters by
score Of II to 8.
The day was cold and windy but
despite this fact something like 400
persons witnessed the game.
Sam Watts, the clever little backstop
for the Cubs was without doubt the
hero of the day. He played an error
less game and twice succeeded in pull
ing high fouls off the wires of the
grand stand which were all but impos-
sible. At no time during the game
did the fruit eaters succeed in stealing
base on him.
Fred Lee was all to the bad in the
first two or three innings, but redeemed
himself in the latter part of the game.
Twice, in the seventh and eighths
innings, when Wenatchee filled the
bases with nobody down, Mighty Pete
succeeded in pulling himself out Of the
hole by striking them out 1928.
Things looked pretty dreary for the
Cubs in the early part of the game.
The Fruit Eaters had secured eight runs
up to the fourth inning and the home
team still had big goose egg to their
credit. The whole bunch seemed to
be dead on their feet. Even the rooters
lost interest and the enthusiasm began
to lag.
The rally came at the last of the
fourth. Mackey came up first, laced
out single, stole second and third and
went home. Raymond followed and
repeated the performance. The next
three struck out and retired the side.
From then up to the opening of the
eighth the runs continued to come in,
In the eighth Fromm was first up,
secured little hit and reached first.
Parvis followed and drove one thru the
short stop on which he reached first
and advanced Fromm to second. Tholin
followed and reached first on a scratch
hit, thus filling the bases. Then up
comes Sammy Watts who drove one to
the left field for three bags, scoring
three runs. Mahoney was next up and
slammed a out long left field fly which
was captured by Reeves. Watts was
waiting on his toes and beat the throw
to home thus scoring another run for
the Cubs.

Some Reflections on the Destiny of Man
A mans life is full of crosses and
temptations.
He comes into this world without
his consent and goes out against his
wish, and the trip between the two is
exceedingly rocky. The rule of con-
traries is one of the important features
of the trip.
When he is little the big girls kiss
him, but when he is grown up the lit
tie girls kiss him.
If he is poor he is a bad manager,
if he is rich he is dishonest.
If he needs credit he can't get it,
if he is prosperous every one wants to
do him favor.
If he's in politics its for pie, if he's
out Of politics you can't place him, and
he's no good for his country.
If he doesn't give to charity he is a
stingy cuss, if he does it's for show.
If he is actively religious he is
hypocrite, if he takes no interest in
religion he is hardened sinner.
If he shows affection he is a soft
specimen, if he seems to care for no
one he is cold blooded.
If he dies young there was great
future ahead of him, if he lives to old
age he has missed his calling.
The road is rocky, but man loves to
travel it.-Chicago Trade Journal.
