PLUCKY LITTLE JAPS
PLAY FINE GAME

Sundays baseball game, when the
Portland Japanese team played the
Lower City team, was one of the
closest and most interesting games
G. Local fans have recently witnessed.
( Inc contest was won by the home
aggregation by score of to O. The
Japs played far better game than
was expected of them. Their field
work was extraordinarily good. How
ever, they were unable to score be-
cause of their awkwardness at the bat.
The Japanese catcher made one of
the neatest and cleverest plays seen on
the local diamond this year. Hall. one
OF the crack members of the local
team, had reached third base. He was
playing a good distance from the BAG
1or a run to third when the pitcher
threw the ball. The slab artist snapped
the horsehlde over and the catcher
Grew back as though he were going to
throw to second. This was lust what
Hall wanted. However, imagine his
surprise, when he was put out bv the
third baseman. The willy catchershad
whirled and thrown the ball sousreIv
TO third instead of to second. 1t was
an interesting spectacle to watch the
Japs IN the bleachers. There were
perhaps several hundred of them here
from the Valley and adjacent districts
to witness the event. The streets were
crowded with them all day Saturday.
Ine characteristic of the Jap to be
poilte was shown on the ball field Sum
DAY. Many times some one from the
oleachers or grandstand would Josh
ingly ask one of the PLAYERS some
point of the game. The question was
always answered in the most courteous
manner. At one time a batter was
asked whether or not he would make
safe hit. He left his place to tell the
questioner that he had doubt in his
mind. "a MS
Hood Rivers one run was made bv
nan who scored from second on
long drive into the field by Catsner.

Improvements Progressing

Development besides the wat
er system has been going on
rapidly in Central Vale. A mile
of road has been built and ar
rangements have been made to
connect with a road to the Mid
die and Upper valley, making
the route through Central Vale
the most direct between Hood
River City and those sections. A
good crop will be picked again
this year from the young bear
ing orchard on lots 1-3. During
the past few weeks the clearing
has been completed on lots IA
and considerable clearing done
on lots 5-8. Lots l, 10, II, 13,
Is, 10, 20 and q have been sold.
The owners of lots 9 and 10 have
begun clearing. The new set
tiers on lot 13 are on their way
here from Wisconsin. The Gen.
tral Orchard Co. is clearing lots
Is and 10 and a part of lot 20
for the new owner and trees
will be planted next spring.

Water Piped Under Ground

The most up-to-date and con-
venient irrigating system in the
Hood River Valley is being in
stalled on the property of
the Central Orchard Company
in Central Vale to carry
water at hydrant pressure onto
the highest point of each lot of
the large tract. A main ditch
of the irrigation company runs
across lots 1921 on the highest
part of the tract. Pipes are be-
ing laid to carry the water un-
derground to the lots. The hy-
drant pressure system is being
put in not only on the land re-
naming unsold, but to the prop
erty already sold. For a limited
time, until the installation of the
pipes is finished and the water
running, the prices will remain
the same on the unsold tracts of
the Central property.

GETTING MORE EXPERT.

AS John SchWister becomes more
familiar with his biplane he is be-
coming bolder, and announces that he
is soon to attempt longer flight than
any he has as yet made. He plans to
leave his aviation field one of these
days and sail up the river to the
asylum grounds and back again. He
may alight at the asylum and he may
not. He is making trials of the ma
chine each week, and finds that it is
working nicely on most occasions. On
Sunday last he intended to make
flight and quite number of people
were on hand to witness it. When he
set the motor in operation, he found
that section of it would not work.
The motor is equipped with battery
of cylinders, so that in case some don't
work while in the air the others will.
1t is not considered safe, however, to
make flight unless the motor is in
perfect working order.
There is probability that an effort
will be made to have Mr.. Schwister
make one or more flights at the
county fair. He will, however, need
a large, open field to start from and
land in.

FARMESR' PICNIC.

The weather being unfavorable yes
terday, there was light attendance
at the farmers picnic at the asylum
grounds. Few were present for the
dinner which had been planned, and
consequently the forenoon program
was postponed until the afternoon.
A few brought baskets of lunch, and
the asylum management supplied
coffee.
IN the afternoon Prof. G. P. Nor
CORD of the College of Agriculture,
delivered a very interesting talk on
the cultivation of corn and alfalfa,
which was listened to attentiveiy by
every farmer present. He also
answered questions put to him, and
covered the ground thoroughly. Most
of the afternoon was taken up in
talks and discussions, and the farm
ers were shown the remodeled barn
on the grounds, which has been re-
built on the most approved lines.

FOUR ROBBERIES.

Wausau is getting somewhat Chi
cagofied in the fact that it is able tt
boast of series of burglaries in one
night. On Saturday night last new
record was established less than
four burglaries being reported to the
police next morning.
The first to make such report was
Mic Gender, one of his employees find
Ing the safe open and money drawer
empty when he came around to clean
| up in the morning. Al investigation
showed that someone had worked his
way into the saloon after the hour of
closing, gone to the safe which was
unlocked, thrown the bolt and walked
off with about $85.
The next one to report was the
Leader store. When one of the pro-
prietors went into the store in the
morning to do some writing he saw
several things which did not look
right to him. Going to the cash
drawer he found that it had been
broken open and the cash, a small
amount, about S., haG been taken.
When VIM. Schoeneberg entered
his store Sunday morning he found
that someone had entered one of the
rear windows during the night. AS
he had hired no one to break into his
store he got busy at once and called
a court of inquiry. He found that
cash drawer had been opened and
about $40 in small change had taken
wings.
J. P. Young, hearing of these
robberies, decided that he would do a
little Sherlock Holmes work around
his premises, and he did. He found
that his Storeroom had been entered
and that the thieves had stolen two
whole quarts of ice cream. They let
John down easy.
AS soon as these robberies were
reported, the officers went to the
court house grounds to see whether
the Cutler post monument, which
had negligently been left outside over
night, had been stolen. The thieves
had overlooked it.
Taking up the first case, an investi-
cation was started. The job at the
Gender saloon looked like that of
someone very familiar with the
premises. Arthur Birkholtz, better
known among certain element as
Young Sharkey," was questioned.
He has been "swipe' around the
saloon for some time, doing chamber
maid work with the cuspidores,
sweeping floors, etc. He first denied
that he knew anything about the
robbery, but later admitted that
while rummaging his clothes for
match he found Mr.. lenders money
in his pockets-all but Sc. The money
was returned to Mic.
"Young Sharkey' was next ques-
toned regarding The other thefts, but
he stoutly denied any knowledge of
them. There is reason to believe
that the other three jobs were the
work OF someone else.
"Sharkey" appeared in court yester-
day afternoon and entered a plea of
guilty to the charge of burglary. He
was sentenced to serve a year and
half in the state reformatory.
