"Out here in this country, partic-

baseball should be permitted. We
have a great many young men in this
northwest who are putting themselves
through college entirely by their OWN
efforts.
MANY of these are our best athletes.
1t is pretty hard for such men to carry
a heavy course in college, participate
in athletics and do any work at the
same time. Therefore it is the, most
natural thing in the world that they
should turn their skill at baseball to
account during the summer months.

100000 more will have been spent,
making $SO,000,00 in all. The new
system will cost s100,000000 to bore
and lay down, and when ready for
operation with all stations built and
an adequate equipment of power hou-
ses and cars will cost $4,000, 600.
This huge outlay will be expended
on a strip of tracks little more than
26 miles long, SO that the average
cost per mile will approximate s9,237,-
$50. The plans are under considera-
ton by the public service commission
and none, it is understood, will be

noticeable thing that there have been

The matter was at once reported to
Chief of Police Mike Davis and he
and Martin succeeded in planning the
attack which turned the trick and
exposed what is said to have been
one of the worst systems of boot
Logging carried on in the state.
The police officials are happy over
having caught these men and they
will do every thing possible to secure
a conviction. The detection speaks
we'll for the effectiveness of the WAL
