Finds Petrifed Log.

Arthur Anderson, of Bear
Creek, was in town last Friday
and brought the News a piece of
pertlfied log which he found in
the Bear creek canyon few
days previous to his visit to Troy.
Mr.. Anderson was down the can
yon and while looking over some
flint rock which he happened on
to, noticed a small part of the
petrified log protruding from the
ground. Removing the earth he
found it to be three feet in
length and one foot in diameter.
Evidently, it was a yellow pine
log, as it contained large
amount of pitch in the agatized
stage. Worm holes, probably as
natural as the day the worms
worked in the log, We're quite
numerous in places, and every
thing, even knots and little rot
here and there, was in place.
Mr.. Anderson made a careful
search, but was unable to find
any more of the log. The piece
left at the News office is an ex-
cellent specimen. Troy News.

ORGANIZE GOOD
ROADS DISTRICT
west Side Citizens Held Epthusi-
ast'c Meeting Saturday Night
ana Decided to Organize for
Better Highways.

quite an enthusiastic meeting
OF farmers and good roads adyo.
Gates of this section was held
last Saturday evening at the hall
as a result of the call recently is
sued through this paper for such
a meeting. The meeting organ
'zed by selecting Riley Rice as
CHAIRMAN, after which speeches
were made by many present in
favor of the organization of a
good roads district in this vicin-
lty under the provisions of the
law passed by the last legislature
governing the organization and
control of such districts.
After the debates were con-
cluded it was unanimously voted
to organize such a district and
the chairman appointed COM
mittee consisting of August
Schroeder, w. B. Hussman, E.
ID. Lamb, Ralph Bruner and A.
H. Haskin to determine the boun-
daries of the proposed district
and to circulate petitions asking
for its creation. AS soon as this
work is completed the matter
will be placed before the board
of county commissioners for their
approval or rejection.
Several persons were present
from other road districts and it
is quite probable that the move
ment will be taken up at other
points on the prairie in the near
future.
Under the new law good
roads district must contain at
least 10000 acres of land. After
its creation three commissioners
are chosen to manage its affairs
who serve without salary. A
road supervisor is also employed
to superintend all road work
done in the district and who shall
give his entire time to such work. |
He is paid such salary as is fixed
by the three commissioners. Un-
der the new law 95 per cent of
all road tax assessed in the dis
trict must be expended within
the district, the other 5 per cent
going to the state. The residents
IF a district can vote a special
lax for road improvements if
hey so desire but in most cases
t will be unnecessary.

Grangeville Beaten Again.

Cottonwood plucked the second
game, and also about $3.50 in
bets, from Grangeville Tuesday
when the locol team defeated the
county seat nine by a score Of 5
to 3 in a fast game. George
Lange and Jarvis each got a
home run in the game. Mccoy
Hill pitched for Cottonwood un-
til the seventh inning when
Rustemeyer was called on to
take the box. He had been
playing the bench and went into
the game without warming up
but held the opposing batters
down in good shape just the
same. In the seventh inning
Billie Parsons, the local catcher,
got fast one on the thumb and
had to retire, his place being
taken by Axtell Hays, who had
been playing third. This left a
vacancy in the lineup and an
Indian lad from Ferdinand who
happened to accompany the team
on the trip, was stuck into the
breach. Had he not been pres
ent Manager Foster would have
been called on to don a suit and
try his luck in one of the back
pastures.
The game lasted an hour and
forty minutes and was witnessed
by a large crowd of ball fans.

Slickpoo Game Goes II Innings.

Cottonwood ball fans were
given a real treat last Friday af-
ternoon when they witnessed the
game between the local team and
the Slickpoo Indians, or Chief
Joseph's Youngsters" as they
are called by Manager Mundy,
formerly well known player in
the Northwestern league, wi o
has been coaching them since
early spring.
The game was a fast one from
start to finish and some clever
and sensational playing was done
before the final round was called.
The game went IL innings before
the deciding score was made and
resulted in a victory for Cotton
wood by score of 8 to z.
A shower of rain and hail in
the first inning caused the ball
to become wet and resulted in a
couple of bad throws which let
both teams run in several scores
more than would have been made
had the weather been dry and
warm. Both teams soon settled
down to steady work however
and after the visitors tied the
score in the seventh inning nei-
ther team was able to squeeze in
a run until the last half of the
twelfth when Cottonwood push
ed man across the home plate
and scored the winning run. In
several innings after the score
was tied both teams got men on
bases and threatened to score
but fast tight playing retired the
side and blasted the high hopes
of the rooters for the different
teams.
In one inning Harrison Jazeb.
the Slickpoo second baseman
pulled down high fly near Sec
ond in time to catch the runners
off of the second and first cush-
ions and executed a triple play.
In another inning Harvey
Housh, for the locals, raped out
a three base hit and promised to
score and end the agony but,
with no one out, a difficult fly
was batted far back of the short
stop which that player managed
to reach in time to catch and
throw Housh out at third. The
next batter struck out and the
hopes were again delayed.
The feature of the game, how
ever, was Rustemeyer's mighty
drive in the first inning through
the center field fence for a home
run, scoring two men besides
himself.
Ben Harrison pitched for the
visitors and was caught by Hays,
the crack Carlyle player whe is
signed up with the Spokane
league team. Harrison had good
control throughout the game and
pitched well but was batted hard
at times. Mccoy Hill twirled
for the locals, and. outside of ore
inning when the ball was wet,
put up his usual excellent assort-
ment of curves and held the WIS.,
iting sluggers down we'll at crit
ical times. The other members
of the team all played in good
form and the game belonged to
neither team until the final score
was made.
The visitors expected to have
an easy victory here and
were disappointed at being de-
feated. From this place they
went to Reubens where they
were to play Saturday. but wet
weather prevented the game.
On Sunday they defeated the
Culdesac team by score of %
to 3 and played Lewiston on
Tuesday.
They later expect to GO to
Portland to play there during the
Rose carnival.

local pitcher, retired the first
three men up without allowing
one of them to see the first cush-

scored when Billie Parsons bat
