friday evening as John G. Young;
the popular Riverdale jeweler, was
setting back in his easy chair for a
smoke before retiring, half the town
swept in upon him by way of the
back door, and before he could kick
his slippers off under the couch. thew

Young domicile. They made them
selves entirely at home, and as soon
as Mr.. and Mrs. Young had recover
ed from their surprise, they PLAYED
the roles of host and hostess to per-

Games were enjoyed during the
frst part of the evening and general
Jollity reigned. At the psychological
moment the self-invited guests rushed
on the scene a bake-shop full of cake

when Miller was knocked out of the
box, and last weeks game from Hills
dale This gives the team a percent
age of 1000. Olivet also has a good
intercollegiate record, having lost
but one of their games, giving them
a percentage of over 500. Thus il
happens that if Alma wins this time
from the Congregationalists she can
not possibly lose the pennant. but if
she drops the game she will still
stand chance of winning out at Kal-

winds up the baseball season.
II is therefore a critical time and

the importance Of the contest, it will
be without doubt the most exciting

While many companies can furnish

thus cannot promise Mr.. Wyant any
OF the smaller cars this season. The
fact that he has disposed OF his large

communities of central Michigan, and
especially OF this immediate vicinity.
All these cars were sold in the three
counties of Gratiot Montcalm and
Isabella.
OF the last two cars sold one was

Editor The Spokane Press:-I
see by a recent issue of your paper
that the police department has be-
gun to cure an evil that has exist
ed in Spokane for some time, es-
pecially since the switchmen' s
strike, by arresting conductors of
freight trains for blocking the
street crossings. And if the pres
ent system is worked out 1t won't
be but short time until train
crews bringing in late or overdue
trains will find themselves subject
to arrest for failure to make the
time. In making this ordinance
the city council certainly has
shown themselves to be the 49,
carat set of Yaller Hammers that
they are. Why don't they try and
find out the cause of these condi-
tons before they try to take $40
or SIS away from some poor devil
who has a family and no doubt is
trying to do his best with what he
has to do with. The Northern Pa
cific has about one mile of track
between Division street and Sew.
enth avenue, and there is not a
street crossing in this territory
that the freight conductor don't
realize is an important one. And
/ want the city council to know
that the freight conductor has the
interest of the public at heart-a
great deal more at heart than any
of the officials have down at the
city hall.
The mo. Pac" don't care. They
have done their part. They have
notified the employees to open UP
their trains when they hold g
crossing five minutes. And when
a freight train stops it is impos
sible to cut the crossings in Il
minutes. The best way to cure
a disease is to get at the cause. A
westbound train gets orders al
Division street to run to Seventh
avenue and probably meet one OF
two trains on the way. Well, prob
ably one of these trains will stall
on the hill west of Spokane and
have to double in. The westbounG
man with his SO or 60 cars has
your city tied up or blocked. And
on the other hand the train dis
patcher at Pasco will turn a trair
loose at Wins, the first station
west of Spokane, into Spokane
when he don't know nor care what
kind of blockade may exist or
the double track.
But don't fail to pinch the con
ductor, for he has not enough
money to take a change of venue
even. Don't pinch Jim Hill be
