Senator Stephen b. Elkins, OF West
Virginia, may not be losing ground In
fight against the strange malady wit h
which he is afflicted, it may be state

full, even though his condition remains

concerned.

the WESTERLY PUBLIC LIBRARY
Constantly Increasing Patronage Gives Evidence Of It's
Popularity-Intense Interest in Todays Vote on Liz
cense in Pawcatuck-Old WEIGH Building Removed
Around the Corner.

There is indication that matters Of
special interest will be considered at
the monthly meeting of the Westerly
town council today (Monday), among
which will be "a proposition from the
Memorial and Library association that
may cause revival of the subject of
cutting down Cookey Hill. The truss
tees recently purchased the Babcock
property, at the corner of Broad and
Union streets, that extends from the
Nestor property, so-called, in Broad
street to Union, and in the latter street
o the Westerly fire district property
all convenient to the present town
hall, which is inadequate for the pub
lie needs.
There has been considerable agita-
ton for a site for new town hall
near it's present location, and, so 1T is
said, the Memorial and Library trus-
tees Will offer the recently acquired
property for town hall purposes, and
for the actual price paid by the trus-
tees Purchase was made for the pro-
tsction OF the Memorial building and
Wilcox park, and to make the sur

WESTERN CLUB HAS
NEVER BEATEN EAST
Two Worlds Championship Series
Came to Easterncrs-One Was Tie,

If the Chicago Nationals succeed in
beating the Philadelphia Americans in
the coming worlds series, they VIII
succeed in reversing history. for so
far the east has never been beaten by
a western club in a world series for
the major league baseball champion
ship.
There have been three sets of games
for the worlds championship between
eastern and western clubs. The first
was in 1883. when the Giants. mana ged
by Jim Mutrie. and captaineG, bv Buck
Ewing, participated in ten clashes
with the St. Louis Browns. led bv
Charley Comiskey. The New Yorks
won this series, six games to four
the Giants taking things easily in the
last two contests. and allowing the
Browns to beat them.
In 1890 the Brooklyn Ma tionaI league
club and the Louisville American as
ISOLATION team hooked UP in the
worlds series, honors between the two
being even. The Superbas. then called
the BridegroOms, won three battles,
and SO did the Colonies. Tussle No.
SO little interest manifested in the
series that the tie game never was
played of.
The next set of battles betwe
teams of the east and west for base
balls principal hopors was reeled off
in 1903, with the Rostons represent
ing the American league and the ca st
and the Pittsburgs appearing for the
National league and the west. The
Bostons won five of the eight games,
the Pirates taking three out Of the
first four.

Evidence of the appreciation of the

IN THE TELEPHONE EXCHANGE

Matters are working more smooth
ly now in the local exchange than
they were the first of the month. Two
new operators were handling the
work then and If it taxed the patience
of the public to make the new girls
understand, they observe now that
she catches it more readily. Manager
G. S. Green was also new to the place
and has been working overtime to
get acquainted with the situation and
the locality. He has joined the Com
mercial club and taken hold of local
matters as if he expected to live and
die in Blackfoot, and this course en-
titles man to all the courtesies due
to those who have been here ever
since the Indians first came this way.
Miss Mary Dutro is chief operator,
Miss Bertha Van Volkenberg still
holds second place, and the new girls
are Mrs. Lois Johnson and Miss
Gwendolin Danilson.
District Manager j. F. Pope was up
from Pocatello this week looking over
the situation and was well pleased
with things as he found them. He
says it is their ambition to furnish the
best service possible and the generous
patronage and friendly cooperation
of the people here have been source
of satisfaction and great aid to
them
