INJURED
By Falling Down Stairs At
Garage
Junk Buyer Meets with
Painful Injuries

Alex Flick, junk buyer, employed
by Jacob Dubinsky, met with most
painful injury Thursday morning
about $3.50 o'clock when he fell down
fight of stairs at the Sanderson auto
mobile garage, Blackberry alley, alight-
ing on the cement floor on his shoulder
and face.
The man was on the second floor Of
the building buying up old rubber and
as he started down the steps he lost
his balance and fell to the floor below.
He was unconscious when the en-
ployes of the garage reached his side,
and call was sent in for physicians.
DR.. s. E. Deeley, DR.. G. K. Conard and
DR.. II. w. Blair soon arrived. An ex-
animation was made and from out
ward appearance the only injury
which Elick has sustained was a brok-
en- finger on his left hand. However,
the man was bleeding from the ears
and it is possible that he may be more
seriously injured than anticipated by
the physicians
McCormick's ambulance was called
to the scene and the man was removed
to his home on West Front street
where he was attended by DR.. Deeley.
Elick soon regained consciousness and
is now reported to be resting COM
fortably.

the Office of Judge Seward in the court
house for a place to take a little
snooze this afternoon.
James was sleeping and dreaming
about the boom in the gas business,
when his sleeping became too loud.
Then someone investigated and he
was found in all the glory of a jag,
and the police were called.
Officers Burke and Swank responded
and Dick was taken to the city prison

The wrestling fans of Mt Vernon
and vicinity will be greatly pleased
to learn that another excellent match
has been secured by Mr.. Wallace
Severns to be held either in Mt. Yer
non or at Hiawatha park theatre on
the evening of Decoration day, May
80. Mr.. Severns is arranging an un-
usually good program for that even
ing which will consist of not only
wrestling, but bag punching exhibit
tions ETC., such as will go to make up
a fine sporting tournament.
AL Haft, "Young Gotch," of Colum-
bus is we'll known by Mt. Vernon fans
who saw him wrestle in the. match
with Lou Winslow of Bucyrus several
weeks ago at the .park theatre and
everyone knows that he has the max
ing of one of the best and most scien-
tific wrestlers of his weight in the
country. The main bout of this tour
nament arranged by Mr.. Severns will
be between Young Gotch and Ed
wards, the southern champion heavy
weight, who is to throw Gotch twice
in one hour. He may be able to do
this but the chances are good that
he has taken UP too great PROPOSE
tion.

Can't We Get a Game With Them

Secretary Coburn, Of the Wenatchee
Commercial club, has received tele-
gram from J. S. Ellison, general pas
senger and ticket agent of the Great
Northern, advising him Of an oppor-
tunity to secure baseball game in that
city between the local team and the
University of Chicago.
The college men will sail from Sc
attic September 10th for Japan, where
they will play baseball with a number
of universities in the Orient. Mr.. El-
lison secured on offer from the manager
of the college team, but the terms Of
fered for the game are such that Man
ager Scheble does not feel justified in
accepting unless he can secure a Sun
day or Labor Day game. The exper-
ience of the past week indicates that
no crowds can be expected for week
day games no matter how good the
drawing card may be. He therefore
sent a message to Mr.. Ellison, this
morning, accepting the terms provi-
ded either or both Sept. 3rd OF 4th can
be secured.

New dining room furniture and every

Mr.. Violette will run the dining
room in connection with the Overland
Hotel. J. B. Huff, who has had much
experience in the restaurant business,
will have charge Of the Grill. The
hotel will be conducted on the Ameri-
can and European plan, and being
conveniently located to the depot will,
no doubt, do a good business with the
travelling public.

Gold is Where You Find It.

An odd illustration OF the truism that
wealth often knocks unheeded al our
very door is afforded by a remarkable
little gold mine near Valdez, Alaska,
which has fairly set the town by the
ears with its phenomenal production.
Right on the beach of Valdez bay
was the quartz outcrop Of the Cliff
mine, spot walked over for years by
prospectors and townspeople. And
since May first Of this year it has been
yealding thousand dollars day with
a three-stamp mill and in June pock-
ct was reached that yielded $4,000
in a sixteen hour mill run.
The Cliff mine was found by an &C.
centric Valdezian called Red" Ellis
and was financed locally. The equip
ment cost but $25, 900 and it was all
paid for the first month.
The vein IS not wide but is SAID to
be extensive, as several feet of de-
velopment work have failed to reach
its limit. The average value of the
ore is about sixty dollars ton, and
this is reported to be maintained so
far as the vein has been followed.
Reports from the Cliff have naturally
sent scores out into the neighboring
hills prospecting, and several locations
in the same slate formation and with
similar surface characteristics have
been made. The excitement has
revived recollections Of small placer
finds in the same section as far back
as 1890. Some sluicing was even
done but with only fair results. Red"
Ellis's discovery in 1906 was the first
quartz find. There seems reason
able likelihood that the extraordinary
success of the Cliff will be followed by
several others.

MONEY TO CONTROL ELECTION
The '1nterests" May Combine to Control
Election of Senator.

That the railroads and other big
business interests will play no small
part in the pending senatorial cam
paign in this state is now said to be
assured. Knowing politicians are
watching for these interests to center
upon a "stand-pat" candidate in oppo-
sition to the progressives,"
Just what candidate will receive the
support Of the railway people is not
yet certain. but the big interests"
it is predicted, will decide between
Wilson and Burke.
L. c. Gilman, former counsel of
the Great Northern at Seattle, but
now with offices in St. Paul, is report
ed to be on the coast at present look
ing into the political situation with a
view to choosing candidate to be
supported by the railroads.
Tactics similar to those employed in
the middle west are now being used in
Washington. Among these is the
purchase of space in the newspapers
or the purchase OF the papers them
selves for the boosting of candidates
supported by the railways.
In addition to the space secured
some OF these papers are to mail
large number OF free copies through
out their districts. If the people can
be induced to pay for the papers it is
all right, and if no subscriptions are
paid the interests" will foot the bills.
The interests" desire that the
insurgent movement in Washington
shall be checked, and to accomplish
this end they are said to be ready and
willing to spend a large amount Of
money. The strength of Congress
man Poindexter throughout the state
has caused feeling of alarm and
much influence" may be used to
combat this growing sentiment.

alterns in the department who nigh
have had the temerity to oppose them.
Speaking on conservation, Poindex
ter said it was Roosevelt who quit using
whitewash for distinguished land grab
bers and used it on the jails erected tc
accommodate the land-grabbers. There
has been much misrepresentation o
the plans and purposes of the conser-
vationists, he said, and one typica
anticonservation speaker had gone Sc
far in denouncing the things that we
conservationists stand for, that he ever
denounces posterity.
We believe that the natural re-
sources of this country can be devel-
oped in the interest OF all the people
without suuendering them up to the
Guggenheims for the exploitation oi
the people. 1t is very amusing to me
to hear these old line bloody-shirt re-
pubhcans so solicitous for the welfare
of the interests that they are wildly ad-
vocating the decrepit old democratic
doctrine OF state rights, and worse than
that, they use it as a cloak under which
to wrong the state by giving over its
rights for corporate exploitation.
Mr.. Poindexter arrived in Seattle
last Saturday afternoon after six siren
uous days in Pierce county, where
he was given a rousing reception, es-
pecially by the farmers. During the
week he addressed about twenty meet
ings, speaking to a total Of about 5000
people. His leading opponents are
touring northwestern Washington,
where they are holding an average of
but one meeting daily, with attendan-
ces ranging from so to 200 persons.
Tonight's meeting is the first big
central meeting attempted by any can
didate thus far in the senatorial contest
and sets fast pace for even the Sc
attic candidates to follow. Mr.. Poin-
dexter will be kept busy all next week
In King and Kitsap counties.

JAP TEAM AN EASY VICTIM
Local Team Wins in a Walk BY Score of
II to O-Great Day For Batting
Averages

1t was a mixed crowd that filed the
grandstand last Sunday afternoon. 1t
could hardly be called Jap day. but
nevertheless the little brown men were
very much in evidence. The long
looked for game with the champions
of Nippon was about to come off.
The first inning resulted in blank
for the visitors, while to the astonish-
ment of the spectators the locals col
lected FIVE runs. Oh how easy, ten
scores could have been secured as
easily, but it was too much like taking
candy from an infant, besides such a
score as that in the first inning would
have made the game uninteresting for
the spectators. And believe US it
reached that point long before the
nine innings were over.
Onamba had an awful time getting the
ball up to the plate, or rather over the
plate, but when it did come over, bang,
and away went the ball soaring out into
some far distant corner of the lot. 1t
certainly was great day for batting
averages. No boubt Mr.. Jacobsen has
been busy on them all week.
All hope Of putting the ball over the
fence this season was lost last Sunday,
and Carlquist's watch is still quite safe.
Everybody who came to the bat, tried
for the fence, but without success. Sou
der tried hard for the time piece, and
succeeded in dropping couple OF balls
right near the railing.
Pap Lee must have been awfully
disappointed. l guess he thought he
was going to have some trouble in
keeping those boys from hitting the
ball. And then, seventeen strikeouts
one hit and no runs. Rottenl Umpire
Moore took pity on the visitors and
endeavored to give them little more
than was coming, but this did not
meet with the approval Of the grand
stand, who misunderstanding his
Jumps motive, set up such howl
that he was forced to "renig."
From the looks Of things now the
baseball season in Leavenworth is about
over, the boys are getting tired and
the trout are biting fine, SO lets bid
farewell 10 the diamond until 1911.
