A HERCULEAN TASK TO RELEASE
HULK OF BATTLESH|P MAINE

WASHINGTON, d. c., June Ia
Now that the bill providing for the
raising of the hulk of the old battle
snip Maine has passed and been
signed by the president, there is much
speculation rife as to how the rails
ing of the wreck will be accomplished
People have been wont to think that
it would be an easy matter to raise
the Maine when once an appropria-
ton for the purpose had been secured,
but experienced engineers are not SO
Slngunc. At best, it will be very
difficult job
This Fourth Attempt.
Already three different attempts
have been made to raise the Maine.
Il fact which most people have forgot
ten now. Congress appropriated $780,
GOO for raising the Maine within eight
days after the disaster. ana Il private
Wrccking company undertook the
WORK at once. This company worked
week ana gave il up as bad job.
having recovered four siX-inch guns. Il
safe, a steam cutter and two six
Founders.
Subsequently the government made
Il contract with another company,
which failed to accomplish anythinS
and then with yet another, which al
so failed, Now government engineers
are to undertake the work. ConSid-
cring that the government engineers
failed Utterly in their efforts to save
the hun of the little Yankee, there
are those who are skcptical as re-
CARDS their chances with the big hulk
of the Maine. However, John Ar
buckle, sugar king and amateur in
salvage. who noatcd the Yankee Just
to show that it could be done, says
that conditions in Havana harbor are
much more favorable than they were
on Spindle rock, where the Yankee
was wrecked.

After all is said, this Toppcnish ag-

in the league. Somebody viii have to
strengthen mp or the indians will

TOPPENISH, Wash, June 12.--In
one of the fastest and gingery games
of ball that has been witnessed on
the local lot for some time, the North
Yakima Tigers. Sunday, went down to
the third straight defeat of the sea -
son before "Tommy' Robbins local
Indians. The melee was replete with
"crabing" by both sides so eager was
each team to win, with Captain Ed
die Woods of the locals carrying off
the honors Of the day. TO the bleach
ers, it looked as though Woods was
out with a chip on his shoulder look
ing for trOuble-but he won his game
and that is what counts.
Aside from "A rotten exhibition of
dirty roofing by Il number of
the spectators, the game was
as clean an exhibition as one would
wish to see not even the excessive
"crabbng' dctracting from the worth
of the ScanCe to the stands.
MctcaIf Shows Everything.
Lefty Metcalf was on the mound
for the Indians and had everything.
In only one inning did it look as
though the Tigers had II chance to do
anything with Metcalfs offerings and
in that frame. Minor and Bolin came
to "Lefty's' rescue with "A pair of nice
stops holding the Bengals to a pair
of counts.
MetCalfs trouble came in the sixth
frame when with one down, Minor
allowed Growers ground ball to get
away from him giving the Tiger short
stop life at first Walker. next up,
drew pass and KOhIs singled to
right center moving both runners up
Il peg and filling the cushions. Nisson
pOked hot one at BOin, 1t looked
like an easy double play but the bali
took bad bound ana went over
Charles head allowing Growers to
score. Shaw's single into left put
Walker across the pan with the sec
ond and last run for the Tigers, after
which Mitchell popped out to Minor,
ending the agony of Metcafs only
bad inning.
Nelson I'm Great Form.
"Spitbalr' Nelson for the Tigers was
never in better form. "Nels" pitched
clever ball all the way through but
costly boots by Growers and Walker
at critical times allowed the Indians
a trip of runs. Toppenishs fourth
score came in the seventh when
Charlie Wilgus leaned against one
of Nelson's grove balls" for homer,
the pill clearing the wall with enough
room to spare to make up another
single.
After that long drive. Nelson took
hitch in his belt and the Redskins
never had another chance TO count.
Five safties tell the tale for the
Indians. Bolin, Neece. Minor, Wilgus
and Woods each connected for a
count in the second column, and in
no inning did the locals solve Nell

I'VE hardly knew how to so to
WoE& or what information we want
ed. Many of the western streams are
dry for months during the year. The
Rio Grandc for hundreds of miles
dries up to a tricllIc. So we knew
practical irrigation was impossible I'M
less the rivers in flood times could
store enough water to last through
the dry period.

with clumsy Instruments. After "A
great amount of work we devised a
satisfactory system of measuring flows

much fun shooting up our instruments

about measuring the rivers. Flnaiy
the cattle ranchers feared we were
going to turn their country into a
market garden. They had so much in
lluence they were able to have our
appropriation cut off and the work
stopped.
AT last. though, the country de-

river project in Montana.
The first returns of water pay
ments from the projects are now
coming in. Settlers are benefiting by
the government work. There are mil |
lions of acres that can still be re
claimed. The service is now on Il |

lief that the smaller. less expensive

private capital to develop. The gov

GREAT LOSS BY WATER
The Planting of Forest Trees Will
Save the Farmers of Indiana
ureat Sums of Money

Many farms are partly ruined by
erosion. The farms in the southern
part Of the state have suffered the
greatest damage. There are many
fields and parts of field in southern
Indiana that have been abandoned BIZ
cause they r so badly eroded hal
at present they cannot be proftably
farmed. Even grass will not grow on
them because the top soil has all been
washed off, and now briars and
bushes are taking possession.
This article is to remind owners OF
such property that the only way to
reclaim eroded land is to plant forest
trees on it. Forest trees will stop
the washing and soon grow into
money. Remember that a gulled
field IN a farm depreciates the value
Of the remainder of the farm.
The kind Of trees to plant would be

save it. If You are not certain as to
what kind of trees to plant or where
to buy the seedlings to the best ad-
vantage write the State Forester, In

and printed literature, who will be

On the subject Of the scarcity of
apples and the prevailing high prices
the Indianapolis Star says editorially
"The production of this palatable
and nutritious article of food, opples,
has declined in this country from 60
600, 900 barrels in 1895 to 100000
barrels in 1909, although the popula-
ton has increased from 10000, 900 to
90,000,00 This is to say that about
Is years ago we produced a barrel a
wear to each inhabitant and now
about a barrel to every four inhabit-
ants.
The healthfulness of an apple as an
article of diet is really phenomenal
among fruits for it is both nutritious
and medicinal in its properties and
without those subtle dangers Of one
sort or another connected with most
other fruits. It's culinary possibili-
ties are almost limitless.
There ought to be enough intelli-
gence and decision of character in In
diana to bring about a revival of the
|apple growing industry on a large
scale. Many sections of the state
that show a decline in population
are admirably adapted to this indus

NEARLY DEAD AT THROTTLE
lake Erie Engineer Whitesell Takes
Train into Peru and Dies

Lake Erie Engineer Whitesell OF
Peru is dead at the Wabash hospital
in that city having passed away abou,
8 o'clock Wednesday evening.
Engineer Whitesell's death was due
to heart trouble and the fact that h.
died just after leaving his passenger
run probably saved a large number of
lives. Engineer Whitesell has been in
charge of passenger train No. 25,
which arrives in Plymouth at 5:57
p. NJ. and Wednesday evening passed
through this city as usual. on the
southwark run. However, it later de.
veloped he was feeling miserable
while still at the throttle, and upon
arriving at Peru summond an am
bulanee to take him to the hospital.
Shortly after he reached that institu-
lion he died from a form of heart
trouble.
Engineer Whitesell is the same who
was in charge of the passenger en-
zine which killed the old soldier Hem
