ROAD SURVEY ENDS
Crew Completes Work of
Laying Out County Road
From Arbor Vitae to Hack
ley.

Last week the surveying crew
under Daniel Graham finished
the laying out Of the new county
road from Arbor Vitae to Hack
lev. This road as surveyed runs
east from Arbor Vitae over sec
tions of the old county road and
enters Eagle River by the road
west of town. Leaving Eagle
River, the road goes north over
the bridge and proceeds to Hack
ley around the south end OF both
Little and Big Twin lakes. The
larger portion Of this road is
over sections of county road al
ready built. About seven miles
between here and Hackley will
be built this summer completing
the whole stretch,
The surveying crew is laying
out the Eagle River to Conover
road this week. This new high
way will also be completed be-
fore fall.
With the building Of these new
county roads, the remote sizes
of the county are being brought
together, a problem which has
long caused inconvenience to the
settlers in the parts affected.

Find Old Relic.


Charles Chase last week ur-
earthed an old Indian relic in the
shape of an axe head about 9x4'
inches in size and made of tenn
pered copper The fact that it is
made of tempered copper is proof
positive that the axe is ancient
because the art of tempering cop
per has been lost for centuries.
The relic was found near the
Wallace summer home on Eagle
lake. In pioneer days an Indian
trading post used to be located
near there which explains the ap-
pearance of the axe.

ON THIS DIAMOND PLAY

ed for the plate Ryerson met him
halfway and tagged him out. The
man at second in the meantime was
being crowded off the midway by the
logical holder of first. base He lit
out for third and Ryerson raced over
to the near corner and also tagged
him. This completed the unassisted
triple play, as Ryerson was given the
put out on the batter, despite the
fact that the third strike was dropped.
Now, none of the players of either
team had tumbled TO the fact that the
umpire had declared out the batsman.
When Ryerson had effected the triple
killing he looked up and saw the
player entitled to first base. and who
had been crowded off by the batsman,
midway between first and second. The
runner attempted to sneak back TO
first, but Ryerson threw the ball to
that baseman and the player was fin
ally run down by the first baseman,
second baseman and Ryerson, the last
named securing the supposed put out.
Thus, you see, had Il been possible,

ious to this one and on that occasion

of visitors from other places and also
expect the many and varied attrac-
tions of Brandywine Springs Park to
attract more people than the previous
celebration. Some are predicting that
one-fourth and some as many as one
half of Wilmington will be on the
park grounds on that day.
The occasion will be holiday sor

A solution made by adding two tea
spoonfuls of formaldehyde to a pint
of water sweetened with sugar and
placed in saucers throughout the

Another efficient method is by using
a mixture of equal parts (by weightj

camphor. Liquefy the carbolic acid
crystals by gentle heat, break up the
gum camphor into small pieces and
pour the liquid acid slowly over the
camphor completely.
The house fly problem at the pres
ent time demands the awakening
of the people to the exigencies

adoption of vigorous preventive meas

results obtained.

Some of the literature issued by the
Pennsylvania Department of Health
makes mighty interesting, even if not
very appetizing, reading. These bull
letins are issued in abundance, a new
one appearing every few days. They
treat of all sorts of topics relating to
the public heath and happiness and
while intended for Pennsylvania may
be followed here.
Here are some entertaining and IL
Eliminating excerpts from a recent
state essay on flies:
Flies should never be allowed to
settle on food of any kind.
Various kinds Of food stuffs exposed
for sale on the streets are potent
sources of danger since they are LA
BILE to be contaminated by flies which
have walked or fed on sputum expec-
torated on the sidewalk Feather
busters are used by the venders Of
fruit to brush off the unsightly part
of the days accumulation of street
dirt, dried sputum, fly excrement, and
other offensive materials. What the
brushes miss the purchaser eats.
Such exposed foods should be avoided
by those having regard for untoward
consequences.
All houses should be screened be-
fore fly time. All food. especially
milk. the baby's bed and the babys
bottle and every person i'll with ty-
phoid fever. scarlet fever, diphtheria
and tuberculosis, should be screened.
Houses near the railroads should be
we'll screened as flies contaminated
with excreta from passing trains may
gain access TO food In the kitchen and
dinning room.
Various methods have been devised
for the destruction Of flies, such as
paper and wire traps, poison papers
and various powders and solutions.
A piece of fine wire gauze eight in
ches wide, tackled to a wooden handle
fourteen inches long, makes an effect

ORIGINAL CENTERS

letters Of patent to Ben Shibe, Of Phil

baseballs which Is expected to radl-
cally change the spheres which are
now being used In the national sport
In 1883 the first patent for a base
ball was issued to shibe, calling for a
rubber center, and this was used con-
tinually until two years ago, when the
cork center was substituted Immedi-
ately this added greatly TO the free
hitting. and from many quarters there
were demands for changes. 1t was
maintained that the flight and bound
OF the ball has been uncertain, that
while long drives were increaced. the
fielding suffered. and that the science
OF the game was greatly interfered
with.
Cork Centers Still Used.
At different times there have been
reports that the cork center had been
discarded and the rubber center re-
stored TO the game. This. however,
has been denied by those who manu-
facture the spheres, and Ban Johnson,
president OF the American League, is
the latest TO annuonce that the cork
center is still in use and Will be con-
tinued for the remainder of the season

now that Il Is properly protected by

which Ben Shibe, who Is also presi-
dent of the Philadelphia Athletics, is
interested will Immediately begin the
work OF making the ball for use in the
various leagues during the season OF

Experiments az Shiebe's place con-
vinced him that rubber absorbed
much Of the force Of the blow, and
did not react until the ball had left
the bat He also found that the yield
ing centers would not hold the shape
sufficiently long TO satisfy those who
were forced to buy them.
Experiments are Started.
