Georgetown, Del, Aug. y 1903.
Editor Of the Chronicle. Dear Sir:
The astute writer Of the Glendale letter to
your valued paper who subscribes himself" Paul
Pry seems 10 have much TO say in regards to
the two games of base ball that have taken place
between the Georgetown club and the aggrega-
tion ofhis town.
In order TO correct some Of the erroneous state
ments made by him IN the last two issues ofyour
paper we are writing this to give your readers
the facts pertaining to the games that have
caused so much comment In the first place we
wish to state, that the team which played the
first game with Glendale on their grounds, was
not the Georgetown ball team proper, but simply
a crowd OF young boys who do not know the
rudIments OF base ball, who combined and went
TO Glendale for a good time; believing at the
time that they would go down to defeat This
combination Of boys, many Of whom never
PLAYED in a game against another club, met
with defeat as was expected, being defeated by
score Of lGt too Asa result Of this game the fans
Of Glendale simply went wild with. enthusiasm
over the thought of rubbing it In " on the club
from the County-seat AS evidence Of their
opinion as 70 their ability as ball players has I'M
doubtedly been observed By the readers Of the
Cb1On Gle In the above named issues.
Leaving the impression with the people that
they had defeated the regular Georgetown pine,
coupled with the great Boosting, brought the
matter to the attention Of the regular club OF
this town which at once challenged the Ellen
dale boys for a game to be played on the George
town grounds Well, they came and went home
with defeat hanging TO their belts having met
their waterloo wsre thaa any club that eye'
played on the local diamond score being 2s TO l.
We wish to state that this one run was only got
ten by the csrlessness of the Locals, who. because
OF a lack of interest began to play with the boys
with the big &" f" on their shirts Ike kittens,
and allowed them to get it. Another thing We
wish to make mention OF is the statement of Paul
Pry regarding the importation Of players from
Cape May and the Jersey League and two
Tri.state players from RehObOth and two from
Dagsboro " no." according 10 his assertions, mo d
a strong reputation in the base ball world.
With d view OF clearing your correspondents
Uranium OF this wrongful impression, we wish
TO state that the team which played The Ellen

dale club we're the boys who play with the locals
all the time.
Your esteemed correspondent went 50 far as 10
make the assersion that the Georgetown players
paid $50 for each OF the imporations" to de-
feat his local nine. At this rate the game be
tween the clubs on the local diamond would
have cost the club or fans here $500 as he con-
tends that they had six hired players. If this be
true, why should the Georgetown club pay 500
TO play with an unknown club such as Elleld
represents, when they can get professional play
ers for that amount and play clubs which when
they won would receive some credit for i2

BUY WHAT YOU NEED AT HOME
A Square Deal Between Local Buyers and
Sellers Should Prevail

The Echo this week arraigns Lea
venworth purchasers of commodities for
disloyalty to home merchants. The
indictment includes groceries, dry
goods, clothing, millinery, furniture,
hardware-in fact, everything used in
the home.
The merchants are entitled to the
home trade because their interests are
identical with those of all other resi-
dents of the town. Trade that affects
one line affects all others. If you, being
a dry goods merchant, buy bill OF
groceries from a Seattle dealer, can
you expect the grocer to buy OF your
Then the business in both lines is re-
duced. If this system is carried out
to finish, do you not see the result?
If the salaried man trades with foreign
houses, the local merchant is denied
his legitimate business; he in turn IS
compelled to carry a smaller assortment,
to pay lower wages, to employ fewer
salespeople. The home town is thereby
embarrassed in its natural growth, and
the salaried man is injured by reflex
action. if not directly.
The entire community is damaged
by the purchase at retail of every bill
of goods not bought of the home mer-
chant, when it is possible to do SO.
The small saving sometimes effected
by foreign buying is more than offset
by the increased business, in which
every resident shares.
The stranger is urged to these re-
Elections by overhearing business man
of Leavenworth say: I am going to
buy my groceries in Seattle hereafter,
and I don't care who knows it. " The
bravado in the last sentence indicates
he does care who knows it. He realizes
it is disloyal to buy out of town, even
for less money.
But there is another side to the
prism. Do the merchants do their part2
Are they not charging more for com
modities than is legitimate2 Is it not
true it costs more to live in Leaven-
worth than it does in Seattle? The
sellers as we'll as the buyers owe some
thing to general local prosperity.
They should keep their prices down
to an equitable basis. No reasonable
person objects to paying fair profit;
no reasonable person should demand
more. So, with community of interests,
seller and buyer may meet on com
mon plane and reap mutual benefit, in
the growth of the town, in increased
business, in fraternal confidence in one
another, in happiness and love.

SETTLERS FLEE
BEFORE FLAMES
FIRES RAGING IN FORESTS OF
NORTHERN IDAHO.
LOSS MAY RUN IN MILLIONS
Along Pend d'Oreille River Ashen
Waste Is Mile Wide and Sew
eraI Miles Long.

Spokane, Aug. 24.-Fires, raging
in forests northeast and southeast of
Spokane are destroying an immense
area of splendid timber and driving
the few settlers in the more isolated
region to the rivers brink for safety.
While the fire along the Pend
d'Oreille river in Washington is I'M
der control, it still blazes, having
cut a swath mile wide and several
miles long. The damage will total
an immense sum.
The Lumbermen' Protective AS
ISOLATION is pressing every available
man into service to fight the flames.
A large fire is reported to have done
a great deal of damage at Naples,
Idaho.
Forest fires have destroyed several
farmhouses in the vicinity of Port
Hill, north of Bonners Ferry, Idaho,
burning much timber also. Men can
not be had to fight the flames.
A million dollars would not pay
for the timber already destroyed, but
it is difficult to estimate the exact
loss. Forest rangers have the fire
under control east of Boomers Ferry,
near the Montana line, with little
damage done to timber there.

He recently received dental cabinet

to which he has added an electric lathe
and cast inlay machine, which latter
is a recent invention. The Doctor is
a graduate of one of the best dental
schools in the country with several years
of practical experience. He came here
highly recommended and has made
good, taking pleasure in referring to
his satisfied patrons, of whom the writer
