while William Klein of the National

American League are billed to of1iciate

arrived today in two sections, one com

game WAS played with the New York
Americans and the others came
direct from Detroit. The party that
came from Detroit W&S composed OF

Manager Clarke and the Pittsburg
team put in strenuous morning at

ended the local leader admitted he was
entirely satisfied with the condition of
his team.
The regular lineup of both teams will
be on the field tomorrow and the team
which loses will have few excuses to
offer, for every man is in excellent
condition. Jennings may place DaVy

the winner of the National League pen
ant, will meet here tomorrow in the
decide the baseball championship of
the world for 1863. 1t will be Detroit's
third attempt IN as many years to win
the greatest hOnorS in organized base

tunity to contest for the worlds
championship since 1903, when it won
the National League pennant and was
defeated by the Boston Americans in
the big series.
The local weather forecaster has
promised good weather conditions for
tomorrow and a record breaking crowd
at Forbes field is certain. Every re-
served seat of the $4,000 has been en-
gagged and thousands more of enthu-
siasts are expected to engage in the
wild scramble for the other spaces in
the immense amphitheatre. 1t is eX-

for tomorrow are promising, the local
expert has refused to make the same

there is a storm heading this way.

HERO OF EARLY DAYS.

David Stithem of Wenatchee ar
rived last week at Kettle Falls to
take his position as assistant engin-
eer on the steamer Enterprise, says
the Kettle Falls Tribune Mr.. Slit
hem is an old-timer in the steamboat
business on the Columbia, and is
we'll known among steamboat men.
He became celebrated several years
ago as the hero of poem by Capt.
Fred McDermott, entitled "Ash-Cat
Dave" which was published in Sue
cess magazine with illustrations and
was reprinted in papers in the west.
The particular incident described
was an occasion when one Of the
pioneer steamboats, was loaded with
hundred tons of powder and Mr..
Stithem stood before the red-hot fur
mace and pitched in wood and coal
oil for several hours in perilous
rapids, holding the steam steady at
265 pounds. The steamer caught
fire from cinjers and red hot smoke
pipes several times and the heat be-
came so intense that the glycerine
oozed out of the dynamite and spread
over the deck like molasses. But
the "ash-cat" staid with it. for 1t
was case of destruction in the
rapids If the boat drifted back, and
the pilots and Dave decided that it
should either be blow up or steam
up.

The Saloon Is Doomed
Prohib Footho in States

Prohibition in 1909 still retains its
place as the chief economic issue in
a vast majority of the states. The
progress has been steady, and there
are few states where there is not an
organized fight against the saloon
Although public morals is undoubt-
eddy the basis of the fight, yet it is
as an economic issue that it has at
tanned its greatest success. Particu-
larly is this the case in the south,
where prohibition has met with wild
est success. They need the negro to
work the farms and they know that
so long as he can procure whisky in
the towns he will not live in the
country Therefore the southern bus
mess man is prohibitionist for bus
mess reasons. Similarly he fights
against cocaine and other drugs
Nearly two-thirds of the territory
of the United States and nearly one
half the population are under some
form of prohibition protection; u.s.
100000 people in the south are I'M

or over are dry; 800 cities of 5000

L. S. Heffner, representing the L..
8. Donaldson company of Minneapo-
lis. owners of the glass block struc-
ture, appeared before the club and
stated that he was in the west for
the purpose of securing fruit ex-
h1bit for his store. The entire win
dow frontage will be devoted to fruit
exhibit. During this coming fall and
winter it is the purpose of the store
to secure the best fruit possible for
this exhibit and it is Mr.. Heffner's
idea in coming here to make arrange
ments for the fruit. In addressing
the club last night he stated that a
small display of fruit was used in
their store window and this was the
most attractive advertising feature
that he had ever used.
A committee consisting of Woods,
Tewkesbury and Pogue was appoint
ed for the purpose of making the for
NAL invitation and stating the char
acter of amusement that could be
furnished the State Editorial associa-
ton next year. This matter is now
up to the executive committee which
will decide ON a place of location in

President Dumas of the State Hor-
ticultural society expressed a will
ingness to address the fruit growers
of this valley on the subject of pack
ing and the consignment of fruit. The
club rendered an invitation to him
and it is likely that he will be here
in the course of few months.

President King announced that
within a few days he would appoint

A large number of matters per-
tanning to the fruit exhibits were
considered by the club and these
were passed to the exhibit commit
tee which was appointed by Presi-
dent King last night as follows: F.

last night was that of the car which
is to be equipped by the Great

pass through Wenatchee October II
and run to the end of the Burling
ton system. In this car will be the
