some difficulty in making hits off of
Hughes, but began to find him in
the latter part of the game.
Koldhi, the new third sacker, ap-
peared in this game for the locals.

thing about his playing. Anyone
that saw the games with Cotton
wood knows that he is a ball player
from start to finish.
The Sunday game at Lakeside
park was slow and muddy. The
Sleepy Eye mud hens won to the
tune Of to 2 but the score might
have been different if the game had
not been called on account of the
dampness Of the atmosphere. Tired

then had to give it up on account of
a bad arm. Thompson relieved him
and pitched a good game.
The Lands started Monday morn

ternoon which was victory for the

PROBE VALUE OF HILL ROADS
Government Experts Examining Com
panies' Books.

Government Experts Examining Com
panies' Books.
Though little is permitted to leak
out there are those who say that
the expert examination now being
made at st. Paul by the interstate
commerce commission covering the
valuation of terminals and properties
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads will be revelation when
1t is completed.
Eleven experts in all, under the d.
rection Of Dwight G. Morgan, are at
work on the books and nothing is be-
ing neglected. Every voucher is ex-
the information desired, the vaults
and book shelves of the two concerns
are further invaded.
Where value of nearly SS0,000,000
was given the big st. Paul and West
ern terminals of the roads the figures
compiled, it is asserted, do not show
a valuation greater than $12,000,000.
The same is the case with the vari-
Gus branches. Testimony was offered
in the rate cases by the roads to show
a cost of many millions, but the books
in the majority of cases give, it is
said, a mere fraction Of the figures
claimed.
The examination now being made
Is in connection with the Pacific coast
lumber rate cases and its success may
cause inquiry into the value of other
lines. The state railway and ware
house commission is interesting itself
in the examination in the belief that
the figures secured may be useful in
the state freight rate injunction suits
now before the federal court.
