B0ILERMAKER MAKES UP
FOR SHORT VACATION
Redoubles Energy in Indoor Work
-Six-Round Bout Off-Lake
Dam Breaks.

Ben Lomond, Cal, April 27.-Jeffries
made up for his vacation of Monday
by working with redoubled energy yes
terday. He declared he felt in a work
ing mood and allowed himself little
let up. He worked on all the indoor
strength building devices and put gin
ger and life into his tasks.
A six-round bout with Sam Berger
was planned for the afternoon, but
James work in the morning was so
warming that his trainers did not want
to heat his blood any more and the
bout was postponed The skin trouble
on Jeffries' back is disappearing rap
idly and his trainers expect to eradi-
cate it in two days more.
Jeffries spent the afternoon hours
working with the laborers on the river
dam, which sprung a leak Saturday
Until the leak is stopped boating and
swimming are impossible, and as these
are among the ex-champion's favorite
pastimes, he will put in much of his
time helping at the dam.

DON 7 GIVE UP
HOPE OF CURE
Read One of DIR.
Bartz's Latest Tes-
timonials Civ
en- Below
PEOPLE WANT PROOF

Don't give up hope of cure just
because you have selected the wrong
means, especially when there is a
treatment that has cured hundreds
afflicted as you are. If you are weak
from any cause or suffering from
backache, lumbago, sciatica, rheuma-
tism, stomach and liver trouble, kid
ney, bladder or bowel complaints,
DR.. Bartz's system of treatment will
make you strong and well again.
Here is one of his late testimon-
ials. He can refer you to many
others if you want further proof.
Mrs. Edward Van Gitsen, who re-
sides at 1855 Forty-second street.
Rock Island, says: "All my life
have had trouble with my stomach
and for the past seven years it has
been exceptionally bad. My tongue
was coated nearly all the time and
there was hardly a day passed but
what 1 had a nasty taste in my mouth
together with this unpleasant state
of affairs, / suffered a great deal Of
pain in my back and bowels, in fact,
/ became so bad 1 could hardly do
my work. Finally, began TO rea-
LIE that 1 would have to have help
soon or else give up completely, so
made up my mind to consult DR..
Bartz and try his method of treat
ment / am glad l did so, for now
can hardly find words to express
my delight to think what a success
his treatment has been in my case.
l really feel like a new woman. The
pains from which 1 suffered and that
distressed feeling in my stomach has
all left me, the food all tastes natur-
al again, in fact, 1 feel perfectly we'll
once more"
The above case well illustrates the
marvellous work that is being &C
complished at DR.. Bartz's offices,
which are located in the Peoples Ma
tional bank building, Fourth fioor),
corner Second avenue and Eigh-
teenth street, Rock Island. His Of
fees are nearly always crowded with
patients, some of whom come long
distances to be treated. His treat
ment is indeed wonderful as pains
and aches are frequently relieved in
a few minutes time
Notice-All patients calling at DR..
Bartz's Offices between now and APP
ril 80 are treated free until cured.
This great free treatment offer was
extended until then on account Of the
fact that the conservative patients
were only recently beginning to rea-
lie and appreciate the true merits
of his successful method of treat !
ment and besides DIR. Bartz is
anxious to add at least so more rec !

At Clinton Saturday.
A game has been arranged for the
Islanders for Saturday, though not at
home. It was found impossible to
get a team to play here on that date,
so a game was scheduled with Clin-

had the date in the first place. but
was unable to come down and the
place of playing the contest was
changed to suit. Is it expected quite

pany the team on the only trip which
it will have a chance to take during

Pathfinder Car at Dallas.

Dallas. Texas. April 27.-The first
leg of the Cincinnati-Dallas-Ch Chicago
run was completed yesterday afternoon
by the Glidden pathfinder. which
reached here from Paris, Texas, after
a seven hour trip over excellent
prairie roads. The Chalmers-Detroit
go" has been two weeks on the road,
having been delayed several days by
floods. The smooth clay highways
encountered northeast of Dallas offered
the first opportunity for fast running
since Grand Prairie in Arkansas was
passed.

ROCK FORMATION HAS
APPEARANCE OF CASTLE
(HonorabIe Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
7 AM going to tell about a very in
teresting spot near our home, on
Il the prairies of western Kansas,
where we lived before we came to Call
ifornia.
1t was a large rocky pile that looked
almost exactly like the ruins of an old
castle, even to the towers and moat,
although considerably smaller. I sup
pose it wouldn't look very big out here,
where we have the mountains in sight
all the time, but there where there is
nothing but flat plains it seemed quite
large.
In the front of it there is an arched
opening filled with vines. which. with
little use of the imagination, looks con-
siderably like an arched doorway. e
Above the opening is place about
six feet square, which is chiseled off
perfectly smooth and has an inscription
cut into it, which is supposed to have
been put on it by the Usage Indians
in early times. The only figure which
L remember was a tolerably good pic
ture of a spider web
On the very top of this rock is
small pine tree about two feet high,
which has been there longer than the
oldest inhabitant of that country can
remember, and scattered around it for
quite distance are small queerly
shaped stones which, when broken
open, prove to be merely a shell of
rock filled with many-colored sand
some red, some black and some white.
Not far from here are places where
oyster shells by the millions can be
found. proving that this part of the
continent was once under the ocean.

MAKES ASCENT OF OLD BALDY
Beautiful View May Be Observed from
This High EleVa-
tion
First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
N HE most interesting place l have
ever been or seen was pano-
Il ramic view of the country from
"Old Badly"
This peak is about 10000 feet above
sea level.
Far below us stretched the valley,
looking like a great checker board, and
away in the distance the white shore
marking the coast line of the Paelhc
ocean.
The Catalina island could be seen and
another small island on the right.
Again our eyes wandered back to the
mountains; we pointed out Antelope
valley and Cajon pass, where the Santa
Fe crosses the mountains: we could
distinguish a train toiling up the steep
grade. 1t generally takes two or more
engines to take a train through this
pass.
on the opposite side of the range
spreads a vast tableland known as the
Mojave desert, broken only by the
source of a river that winds its way
across the surface.
The mountain itself is mostly formed
of alkali and very well named, for not
a tree or plant of any kind is to be
found within a mle of the top.
On the way down we lost the tran
in taking short cut and il was some
time before we found it again.
We arrived in camp about o'clock,
and after supper started for home, ar
irving there about 1030, very tired.
For the next week or two we talked
of little but our grand trip to "Old
Badly" Your loving nephew,

At one place where the people get rock
for the foundations of their houses
the rock is nothing but broken sea
shells pressed closely together and
mixed with sand. Near here. also, you
can find great deal of petrified wood,
and once while a neighbor boy of ours
was digging out coyote den he dug
up the jawbone of some great animal,
probably that of mammoth or masto
don. The bone, or rather the half of 1T
which ne found. measured four feet
long and each tooth was as large as
my fist.
Well, Aunt Laurie I must stop or
this will be too long to publish, so with
lots of love to you and the cousins l
remain MARIE DUNLAP.

ENJOYS FINE PLAYGROUND

Dear Aunt Laurie:
An interesting place near my home
is the Pasadena playground. 1t opened
with the flag waving in the air and
thousands of cheers. 1t has four ten
mis- courts, two basketball courts, a
place for races, baseball, indoor ball
and croquet.
There are many swings, which are
always occupied, and a sand pile for
little ones to play with their pals and
shovels.
The basketball courts are used by
all grammar schools. Lincoln school
played Mckinley school Friday after
noon and beat them 1914. The play
ground opens every afternoon at 2
o'clock and closes at 5. On Saturdays
it opens at 8 o'clock until 12 and from
1 until 5, when the bells rings. Back
of the playground is a little house
where the balls, bats and tennis nets
are kept. They do not furnish the
tennis balls and racquets. When you
go for a ball or anything the man
takes your name and address, in case
anything should get lost you are re-
sponsible for it.
They are now putting in lawn
around the race track and L think it
is going to improve it very much The
playground was shown to President
Taft and he thought it the best one
he had ever seen.
The tennis champions have played
on it several times. On Saturdays
there are hundreds of children anus
ing themselves at the playground.
Some of my best games are tennis and
indoor ball l think [ will close now.

Letters to Aunt Laurie From Nepl1epvs and Niecel
Decline OF SPANISH MISSION
Former Domain of Padres Used as
Japanese Boarding
House
First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
II AM going to tell you what know
about the San Fernando mission.
n The main building is not a ruin.
1t is occupied by Japanese as hotel or
boarding house.
Leading from the main building to
the chapel are the ruins of what must
have been a colonade. There is moth
ing left of it but a few arches.
The chapel has been used for a camp
ing place and stable in late years.
While it is in ruins, you can see where
there must have been paintings. But
now all the ornaments on the walls are
the visitors names. When the chapel
was new they probably had lots of
music in it, but now the only sound is
the cooling of the doves that nest in
the rafters and roof.
The graveyard is very small and
neglected and sad. Some persons have
been buried there not many years ago.
Back of the graveyard there is q
little arroyo with a spring where the
fathers must have get their water.
Beyond this arroyo there are some
large olive trees which were planted
by the padres. They look like old gray
headed men.
This olive grove is inclosed with
cactus hedge, which l think was to
keep the Indians out In some places it
is about ten or twelve feet high. There
are four very large trees left, which
the padres also planted.
All around the mission is a wall
made of adobe. Some parts of it are
washed away by rain so that one can
not see the shape of the adobe bricks.
The mission was built in 1897 by the
Franciscan fathers. 1t was named
after San Ferdinand III, king of Spain.
The town and valley are named the
same. The mission was ruined by a
severe earthquake.
We live in this beautiful valley and
like it very much.
