BEES DOPE -

From reports It would seem
that Jansen's tumble and Crit
tenden's dropping the ball at the
plate when he had Moran prao-
tically out, with Goodman's lit
tie error, cost the Tigers the
game.
Vancouver is set in second
place for another day at least
and a slight winning streak will
boost the Tigers out of the eel
lar.
George Mill Is still out of the
game with a broken finger and
though the infielders have been
going good there seems to be
lacking that cool judgment In
the fielding.

Bill Toomire is the latest re-
cruit. He looks like a good
youngster and ought to be worth
a major league berth in few
months. He can bat rings around
some of the veterans.
Manager Eddie Hickey Is lit
tie sore, and threatens to bench
both Ned and Herb Drew. 1t is
rumored they handle more then
milk at night.
Frank Harrigan made a home
run yesterday. When last seen
he was Logging It around the
sacks on second pole out that
looked like the game winner.
Joe Tanner, whose speciality is
riding his hobby, dropped around
the league headquarters for a
batting spree last night.
The Tame Tripe and the Weak
Stomach will be presented with a
bat 10 feet long. The ordinary
kind is not large enough for his
knocking purposes.
Roy Goodman came out of a
trance long enough yesterday TO
bat .023.
Wheeler-Been out to the end

that Welch was subjected to, it
was not believed that Coffroth or
any other promoter would have
the effrontery to select him as
referee. The appointment or
WEIGH, combined with the awfuI
stencil left by the last meeting
between Attell and Murphy, can
have no good effect on the sport
and il WEIGH has the interest or
the game at heart he should re-
fuse to act. In event, however,
that he does accept the appoint
ment, Coffroth will raise storm
of disapproval about his ears that
he will hear for many day."

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Aug. 1. - Jack
johnson declares that not even
a 100000 purse would induce
him to don the gloves again. He
said today:
"They won't let me fight a
white man In New York. There
is too much red tape connected
with the shorter bouts. I've got
all ! can get out of the game.
Let the others fight it out among
themselves. Before I won the
title I was willing to fight any
body for square meal; now
that I have the championship the
promoters think ought to do
the same"

Thursday we installed in the Clothing
room very fine clothing glass cabinet.
this case is 6 feet wide, ~ feet long and
80 inches high, fitted with sliding extern
sion arms to hang suits on. This case
will hold l50 suits. This is big i'm
provement over using racks as hereto

from dust and shop wear.
The Universal stove representative was
here this week. He Is very sanguine
over the prospects for the Universal
stove for 1912. He promises us dem.
onstraton for these stoves sometime this
coming October. We sold a Universal
range Thursday. We do not sell stove
as often as we do sack OF sugar but
the records show that we dispose OF a
number Of these during a season.
A shipment OF parasols, in all shades,
is one OF the new things that the dry

advance during this 80 day period. You
cannot always tell when to sell.

THE OIL WELL

The talk about the oil we'll at
Mosca being salted seems to have
but little or no foundation. Those
best informed say there were at
least 30 barrels of oil on the sur
face when the we'll caved in, which
stopped the flow. The A or 5 gal
Ions of crude oil shipped to Monte
Vista would not have been "a drop
in the bucket" as compared with
the flow. There are now several
wells in the oil field in process of
being sunk by oil experts who
have carefully inspected the situa-
ton. Work on cleaning out the
gusher is being pushed.

Every community is blessed (?) with
individuals who think the main thing is
to besmirch someone's reputation, these
people, as rule, you will find are
what are termed knockers" they are
always trying to tear down rather than
build up. The less OF these people any
community possesses the greater pro-
gress that particular community will
have, and vice versa, the more OF these
people that are tolerated the less will be
the progress. Look at two different
places, one dead one and the other
live one, and you can find the answer is
IN the individuals that inhabt the two.

CHARGES UNFOUNDED

The alleged mutilation of the
poll lists by the board of registra-
tion prior to the recent town elec.
ton, seems to have as it's only
foundation, the mere fact that a
number of names were placed on
the lists without having been suf
hclently vouched for. The claim
made by some of the Citizens
party that names were removed or
erased by "a Judge in his private
othce,' is absolutely untrue, as an
inspection of the original copies
will prove.
Atfidavits to confirm the charge
were advertised to be available.
but we are informed that up to the
present time the testimony is not
readily Forthcoming.
This much was done-upon adj
vice OF an attorney that some
names were entered upon the poll
lists without all the technicalities
of the law being complied with,
the board advised such persons of
the fact through the mail.

Representative Dan Anthony OF

yearned to know how to use a type
writer-which accomplishment, the
boy figured, would make hin a regular
reporter.
Anthony turned an old broken-down
machine over to him, says the Wash
ington Herald. and babe him learn to
run 1t.
"What1l I write" the boy asked.
"Oh, just take some sentence. any
sentence at ALL" Anthony told him.
and see how long 1t will take you to
fill a page with It,"
The boy set to work. An hour or
two later Anthony CHANGED to notice
the page on which the lad had been
working. From top to bottom OF the
sheet. and from margin to margin. the
boy had written one sentence over and
over again until there was scarcely q
white spot visible on the paper. The
sentence the boy had selected to prac.
tice with was: who the - invent.

Congressman Lafferty Of Oregon.
who has gained notoriety as a letter
writer, and who was described the
other day by a fellow representative
as "a young man who spoke himself
into congress and who has written
himself into oblivion" usually eats his
breakfast at a certain Washington ho-
tel every morning. Mr.. Lafferty has
introduced a new custom which Is Of
great interest to the walters. He is
always served with a finger bowl at
the end of his meals, but he does not
use it for the purpose of rinsing the
tips Of his fingers. He waits until his
check mas been paid and the water
returns with the change. He then Sc
lects whatever coin is to be given as
a tip and hands it to the man with the
apron. After that he takes the re-
naming coins, carefully washes them
in the finger bowl. dries them on his
napkin and puts them in his pocket.
Mr.. Lafferty's friends say that he
never did take any tainted money
and W. will. He won't even stand
for germs.-Rrookyn Eagle.
