Dick Rohn Opens Series Here With
"a to Victory, Whipping
Rube Hurch With Little
Trouble.
WILLIS CAUSED TROUBLE
Pitcher Allowed Only Five Hits and
After First Inning Only Four
Men Reached First Base
Safely.

A veteran fan once asked we'll
known Central Association arbitra-
tor the question. What has Rube
Burch got?" He received this answer;
"A glove and pair of shoes"
TO have seen the southpaw in the
first inning of yesterdays game was
evidence enough TO bear the umpire
out in his statement He should have
added that the Doe Run artist has
some control, for that has long been
one of his valuable assets. In that
first round Burch was found for four
solid bingles, one of which went for
three bases. Two runs. crossed the
pan. In the eighth inning three more
hits coupled with brace of errors
gave Burlington two more runs and
made the pastime safe. The Pathfind-
ers under Dick Rohn thus drew the
long end of the count in the first bat
tie of the season here, the final score
being 4 to 1.
Willis was the clog in Belts ma
chine and after the first inning was
invincible. Keokuk scored once on
two hits and an error in left field
but then the curtain fell.
The Indians looked like mediocre
ball club. They could not hit the ball,
some mighty easy chances in the
field were allowed to slip by and only
did McCafferty at short and Ed
Reichle in centerfeld work to the
satisfaction of the crowd. The game
was one with little life and less pep
on the part of players And to be
humbled by that bunch of misfits
from Burlington was almost too much
to swallow and something impossible
to digest But such is baseball.

STAGE Snow.

In personal "Reminiscences OF Hen

ers into the secret Of how the snow
scene in 1.-The Corsiean Brothers was
made so effective:
..All over the stage was thick Dian
ket of snow, white and glistening In
the winter sunrise-snow that lay So
thick that when the duelists. stripped
and armed, stood face to face they
each secured firmer foothold by
clearing it away Of many wonderful
effects this snow was perhaps the
strongest and most impressive Of real
ity. The public could never Imagine
how it was done. 1t was salt-commOn

appointed light and glistened like real

Tunino Bells.

"What a beautiful tone that bell
hast" Is often heard. There are few.
however, who know how bell re-
ceives it's joyful or solemn tones. ALI
bells after they are cast and finished
must go through process Of tuning
the same as any other musical instru-
ment before they respond with clear,
true tone. Every bell sounds five
notes, which must blend together in
order to produce perfect harmony. The
tuning Of bell Ia done by means OF
shaving thin bits from various parts
Of the metal. 1t is as easy for an ex-
pert bell tuner TO put bell In tune
as it is for piano tuner TO adjust his
instrument to perfect chords. At first
thought 1t would seem that bell
would be ruined should tuner shave
off too much at the last tuning. or the
fifth sound. but such is not the case.
He would. however. be obliged to be-
gin over. starting again with the first
tone and shaving the bell till it gave
forth its harmonious sound at the fifth

Capital removal, which promised
to cause quite ripple at the open
ing of the legislature, has died
away completely. Since it has be-
come known that the state is in no
financial condition to incur addi-
tional Indebtedness for such a pur-
pose, the matter has dropped out
of sight. But one city-Everett-
made any pretense to assert claim
for capital honors; and now it de-
velops that the people of Everett
were not even back OF that. II was
merely put forward for political
purposes. The newspapers OF
Washington have not taken any

N. After Reservation Lands

The department of the interior
has been asked to intervene in be-
half of the entrymen on the Spo-
kane Indian reservation whom the
Northern Pacific railroad is trying
to Dust in suits recently filed.
Judge James Ilewellyn, chief
law clerk of the land office. has re-
ceived telegram from Mabel D.
McNickie, of Springdale, who OBJ
tanned claim No. | on the reserva-
ton, asking the government to de-
fend her title. Other claimants
have made similar appeals.
The department is in some doubt
as to whether it should allow itself
to be drawn into the case or let the
entry fight it out with the rail
roads. However, a recommends
ton has been made to Secretary
Ballinger that the attorney general
be asked either to intervene on be-
half Of the Indians whose original
titles are clouded by the Northerr
Pacific sui or that government
counsel appear on behalf of the
claimants.
The Nor hern Pacific contends
that under is original grant it re-
ceived every odd numbered section
on the Spokane Indian reservation,
while the governments contention
always has been that lands on the
reservation were excepted from such
grants.

Declaring it utterly useless and
worthless, thing without good, c..
s. Reed, warden at the state peni-
entiary at Walla Walla, has for
lnally consigned the prison lock
step to the oblivion from which it
came. Since the beginning tie
lock-step has been the custom at
The penitentiary. When the pris-
nners came into their meals or
marched out to them they did go
in the lock-step. The lock step,
stripes and other relics of more
harbarous age are thing of the
past at Walla Walla. "The lock-
step and the striped SUITS" says
Warden Reed, have come down to
us from the past. Why or how
they originated is now Of little in
crest. 1t suffices that whatever
may have been the reasons which
actuated their originators. they do
not hold good today. The lock step
serves no purpose. 1t accomplishes
no good. It is a senseless custom
which has outlived its time. The
striped suit has not been seen here
for some time. The prisoners wear
plain gray clothes, with no distin-
gushing mark but the prison num-
ber."
