MAKE s1,5oo,ooo DEAL.
Big Deal in Timber Lands Handled by
Two Former Lanqdon Men.

Langdon, N. D.. Dec. &c. e. Ma
hon and A. ]. Birtch, who since re-
moving from Langdon some four years
ago have been engaged. in an extensive
real estate business at Vancouver, B,
c., recently disposed of the timber
rights on los sections of land in the
Fort George district OF British Column
bia to syndicate of British capitalists
at a consideration of $500, 600, and
which is said to be the largest price
ever paid in single timber land deal
in the province of British Columbia.
In its story of this big deal nego-
tiated by G. K. Mahon & Co. in British
Columbia timbeS land The Daily Prov
ince Of Vancouver, B. c., states that
the deal was practically negotiated by
Mr.. Mahon about six months ago and
that a cablegram received last week
stated that A. I. Birtch, who went
over TO London, Eng, to continue the
negotiations, had closed the deal. There
are stated to be over 2,O00,0O0,O00 feet
of pine, spruce, cedar and fir on the
sections. This is the second big land
deal closed since fall by Mahon & Co.
with British investors, the former
transaction consisting of three Sec
lions of timber land along the coast
line Of the province. The big deal, in
volving million and a half dollars.
according to a cablegram which Mr..
Mahon received from his partner, A.

closed on a half-cash basis. Mr.. Bhtch

balls are close together and delicate
stroke is needed. A few minutes prac-
tice will serve to show how simple and
reflective is this manner of holding the
cue. It gives perfect freedom of action
and prevents a cramped movement.
Directly below the nurse bridge IL
Illustration will be found the draw
stroke bridge. 1t is made with the
hand lying fat on the table with the
index finger around the cue shaft and
touching the thumb in a very firm
manner, so as to prevent the cue from
taking an irregular stroke, which is
ofttimes caused by the executing hand
and the other three fingers of the hand
should be in position exactly as that
shown in the illustration, which will
give the hand a firm setting and hold
the cue in position for terrific drive,
ora very heavy draw shot strike, used
for gathering the balls into position
In most of the round the table shots.
In the lower illustration is seen the
bridge / use for close draw shots when
the balls are so near together that a
broader bridge is impossible. Only Al
few inches of space are required, yet
d strong, firm resting groove for the
cue is attained.
While all Of the bridges | have men
toned are regularly used BY the adj
vance6 player, the third and fourth
will serve all needs OF the beginner.
Never allow the bridge hand to be-
come cran1ped. Never start a shot tn-s
less the cue is travelling easily through
or over the bridge hand. The whole
game OF billiards depends upon ease
of movement, WilE Hoppe.

which will enable the executor to set
force on the cue ball for driving
masse, such as could not be obtained
by holding the bridge hand in any po-
sition on the table.
BY using the offhand masse stroke
the player can hit the cue ball with
such force as to drive the ball the en-
tire length of the table and return
without striking cushions or any OBJ
ject balls.
The close masse bridge stroke. shown
on the right side. is most difflcult for
the novice. 1t is used only when the
balls are ''lined up" The cue is held
perpendicularly by the stroke and

Only the tips of the fingers on the
bridge hand touch the table, the cue
merely resting on the side of the hand.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT
BASEBALL NOW
ON FIRM BASIS

Chicago, Dec. 9.--The tendency OF
everything and every one connected
with baseball is to get on a permanent
basis Less than five years ago one
year contracts were the usual thing in
baseball, but now the Ave or the ten
year contract is regarded as the prop
er length of time for any legal papers.
The growth of the game in the favor
OF the public has brought about the
lad among the club owners of major
leagues to own their own grounds and
to erect handsome new plants that
will last for generations,
Less than ten years ago these same
club owners were careful not to get
tied up in a lease for a property for
more than two years for fear that the
game would go to the bad during that
time and they might want to get out
from under the burden of paying the
rent Baseball players contracts
would read for six months of the sea-
son. but now a player who has con-
tract for several seasons is not unus.
ual at all
The circuits of the two major
leagues have remained the same for
the last eight years, and the chances
are that those circuits will always re-
main as they are now, for the patron
age in the big league cities is grow
ing every year and the game is set
ting into a permanent home.
Many Life Jobs.
The officers or the different leagues
are also drawing life jobs wherever
they have been found to be the right
men, and the leagues continuously
shifting officers are the ones that are
not meeting with the success they
should

ISOLATION Of Minors In this city re-
Gently. Secretary John III. Farrell and
President M H. Sexton were re-elect-
ed for long terms. Sexton is to be at
the head of the organization for Ave
years, and Farrell can have his job for
the next ten years.
The one notable exception to this
rule is the National League, for that
organization has not seen fit to change
its old plan Of electing its president
for one year at a time.
The desire to make long contracts
for grounds and players on the part
of the club owners is SO that they will
not have the trouble of going through
the same business every twelve
months. The game is getting on such
a solid footing that the men who have
their capital invested are satisfied it Is
going to keep on growing, and they
can save themselves a lot of work
every winter il they make these long
time contracts
