BALL GROUNDS
NOW ASSURED
Money Nearly all in Sight;
Lumber Soon be Here;
Work Next Week.

The baseball committee has
been doing valiant work, and ex-
pect to close up the week with
something like $500 in cash with
which to begin work on the new
ball park, which will be inaug-
urated next week by plowing,
discing, leveling and rolling the
grounds. The lumber which was
ordered sometime ago, is expect
ed to arrive any day now. In
stead of forming a stock company
as at first contemplated the plan
was changed to a straight solicit
alton of the business men, and it
has worked admirably, and is
fully as satisfactory to those con-
tributing.
There is some talk now of pur-
chasing the ground for the park
outright, and the price on the
same will be gotten and consider
ed. However, the terms of the
lease on the present site made by
Frank VanDeventer for the two
original acres, and by Joe Green
field for the additional acre since
added, have been so generous, as
to almost preclude the idea of
purchase. Still it is held that to
own the grounds outright would
be preferable, and some have of
fered to give more literally for
that purpose. The baseball fans
are elated over the present out
look for the national game in this
community.

ABOARD SHIP AT SANTA
BARBARA.

The following letter from Paul
Gelbach to his parents at this
place, will no doubt be read with
interest by his many Grangeville
friends and acquaintances:
Dear Father and Mother:
will write you few lines to
let you know that | am still alive
and well. | am still at work in
the captain s office and like it
fine. The weather has cleared
up after several days rain. For
three days there was no train
from San Francisco on account
of washouts.
We have been here at Santa
Barbara since Jan. Goth, and |
like it much better than Frisco.
| wouldn't mind living here, but
have no use for San Francisco
| called to see Mr.. Adrian, prof.
Adrian, who lectured in Grange
vile last year | had kept the
address he gave you to send me
since last fall and they had me
stay to dinner there the next day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Adrian and chill
dren and his mother-in-law came
over to the West Virginia and /
showed them around. They said
they had seen battle ship or two
and were on the Virginia !"
when a portion of the Atlantic
fleet was here three or more
years ago, but this was the first
armored cruiser they ever visited.
Then they invited me up to take
chicken dinner" with them Sun
day, February 5th, and you bet
we had fine dinner. After din
ner Mr.. Adrian and | took a walk
out and viewed an old mission
and other places of note. The
Adrians treated me fine. They
certainly are fine people.
The captain sent me ashore the
other day to get a number of his
friends to have a dinner with him
on board. They were a swell
bunch, too, and when | got back
with them he had me take
plate with them, too. You bet
it was a great spread, everything
good, the market could afford.
After dinner he had me show
them all over the ship and then
take them back in the launch in
the evening.
l was mail orderly for two days
and am connected with the mail
part of the time every day |
am not too busy in the captain s
office. | was busy last night till
nearly midnight getting out some
summary court martials, and two
general court martials.
am going to try to get in for
mail orderly soon as this fellow
quits; it will increase my pay $15
per month and that looks good
to me.
! Later-After a run up the

coast from Santa Barbara to
Seattle and Bremerton, received
hurryup orders to take on coal
and also ammunition and make
best of speed to southern Cali
fornia.
l guess they are looking for
trouble, for they have ordered
us (second division of the Paci-
fic fleet) to San Diego, and that
is only twenty miles from Tia
Juana, in Mexico, where a lot of
the fighting is going on.
We have 1900 tons of coal on
board now and will take on 400
tons more. We will fill up with
all the ammunition the ship can
hold; will take some from here
for the Pennsylvania, and she
will take some from San Fran
cisco for us, so we will have a
lot of the dangerous stuff aboard
on the way down.
They have ordered 100 marines
to go to Frisco on the train from
here at once; they will not wait
for the ships, as they want them
to get there in a hurry.
Our speed down will be Is
knots.

CORN A PROFITABLE CROP.

p. A. Mcclure was in town the
first of the week from the Win
ona section attending to business
matters. He says there are strong
indications of an early spring,
and quite a number have begun
turning over the stubble for
spring cropse. He says he will put
in several acres of corn this year,
being confident from the excel
lent results of last years expert
ments, when he got some forty
bushels to the acre in an unfavor-
able year, that corn can be made
a most profitable crop.

Tho Jerboa and tho Melons.

An odd fact relative to a little Afri-
can melon Is thus related by an Off
cial Of Khartum:
The jerboa or kangaroo rat is found
In considerable numbers in places miles
and miles away from any water or
even dew. and l was at a loss to I'M
derstand how these little animals could
exist through the ten months of
drought. 1t appears, however, that
after the scanty rains a small wild
melon of bitter taste, but full of juice,
1ourishes In the desert. The jerboa,
as soon as the melon is ripe, bites off
the stem and proceeds to dig away
the sand under the melon, SO that 1t
gradually sinks below the level of the
ground. The constant wind soon Gov
ers 1t with six to eight inches of sand,
which protects 1t from the scorching
sun and from drying up. When all
other moisture has eyaporated the jer-
boa goes to his larder and drinks the
juice of the melon till the rains come
on again. One jerboa will bury as
many as forty of these little melons
TO las him through the dry season.

The Romans had three recognized
methods of applaudlng-the bombus,
the imbrices and the testae. The word
bombus did not carry any allusion to
explosives. On the contrary, this form
Of applause was the most d~ecorous, In
asmuch as 1t consisted merely of a
humming or buzzing noise. Thus In a
way the Romans were the first Ito
make things hum" In a public assem-
bly,. The bombus was not the chief
feature the Romans had to offer In the
way of applause. The imbrices meant
a demonstration made with the hollow
Of the hands. The testae meant the
striking together of the fat portions Of
the hands. From this we may con,
clude that the Romans clapped, but
there is no certainty on this point

The Word "Gaiters."

Episcopal CATERS cannot date from a
very remote antiquity. The very word
"gaiters" Is almost a newcomer to the
language. Johnson's Dictionary does
not recognize its existence. 1t does not
occur before 1760. and even In 1902 a
military dictionary had to define 1t as
"a sort of spatterdashes." "Guetre,"
however, the French original, goes
back at least to the fifteenth century,
and the origin Of that is lost, though
etymologists compare all sorts Of
words in all sorts of languages, includ-
ing an old German word for a baby's
christening cloth. The one certainty Is
that CATERS has nothing to do with
gait In spite of the punning line In the
Rejected Addresses"-"Lax in their
CATERS, laxer in their sait"-London
