Narrow Escape

Harold Brown had narrow escape
from being very seriously injured
Thursday evening of last week. After
asking for ride he jumped into a
farmers sleigh. The farmer started
to drive north, while Harold wanted
to go the other way, so while the
sleigh was crossing the bridge by the
Alton hotel the little fellow jumped
out, alighting just in front of the
team of /, H. Waller the drayman,
who was driving in the opposite
direction. The wagon pole struck the
boy, knocking him down, and the
shoe of one of the horses struck his
cheek glancing blow, cutting a cash
which it required eight stitches to
close. The little fellow showed re-
markable pluck. No blame attaches
to Mr.. Waller as it was absolutely
impossible to prevent the accident.

ing a new plan for introducing and
advertising their flour. They know
that when a family once gets the
habit of using any one Of their popu-
lar brands they have a permanent

Base Ball Plans
Under Discussion
Inland League May BE Expanded This
Year by Taking i'm Several
Clubs

The baseball bug is already getting
in its work and new leagues and ru-
mors of leagues are springing up
from all sections. The latest gossip
is in regard to a proposed extension
of the Inland league, which was or
gained last year by Pullman, Col
fax, Palouse and Rosalia. The pro-
posed enlargement of this league and
the reasons therefore were outlined
in the following arti Gle which ap-
peared yesterday on the sporting page
of the Spokesman-Reyiew and was
doubtless suggested by J. Newton
Colver, president of the league:
The Inland league, last year
four-club affair, playing strictly anna
teur ball, may be expanded into six
club circuit, taking in at least one
Spokane team, one from Occur
d'Alene and one from Liberty Lake,
if plans now under way are carried
out.
THE four-club circuit that last
year engaged in such a close and
spirited pennant chase, finally won by
ColfaX, will this year attempt an or
ganization considerably more preten-
tious
By working with Occur d'Alene,
Liberty Lake and Spokane, the teams
from the Palouse country can thus ex-
tend their schedule into August and
even September, whereas before it
aas never been deemed good judg-
unent to run beyond the opening of
The harvest season or the middle of
July.

pall they can stand between the first
Df April and the middle of July and
'ahen switch to the lake towns, where
'4he rush to the famous summer re-
7sorts will have just begun to be good
land consistent
Occur d'Alene is anxious to get
T. into a league with Spokane, as it
seems to be cut off from any other
htown of its size and class in baseball
and has never been able to break into
the Spokane City league. Liberty
lLake has been educated to classy
abaseball within the last year or two,

lation of 10000 or more during the

BUYS SUGAR MILL
At SAN BEN|TO
THOUSAND TON PLANT HAS
CHANGED OWNERSHIP
Not Completed in Time for Last
Grinding Season but Will be Ready
For Next Season-0ne of Finest
in the Country.

A deal of great Importance, which
was closed finally yesterday morn
ing was the sale of the San Benito
sugar mill to w. G. Shaw, 5. A. Rob-
ertson, president of the San Benito
Mfg. Co., representing the company.
This sugar mill is not quite com
pleted yet. or ready for running. 1t
is a thousand ton mill and, when
completed, will be one of the finest
in the entire country.
This mill is one of the Important
enterprises Of the lower Valley A
very large acreage of the San Be
nitO canal is devoted to sugar cane.
and the mill will be a great indus
trial factor in that community. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Shaw and his
associates will have it in readiness to
handle the next year crop Of cane.
Mr.. Shaw is also the purchaser of
the Brulay sugar plantation recent
ly Consumated, and also of the Piper
Brothers and jackson plantations.
all few miles east of Brownsville.
The San Benito sugar house just
sold was expected to be completed for
the last grinding season, but ii could
not be finished in time, and the
San Benito cane crop was all ground
at the Ohio & Texas mill near
Brownsville, which was leased for
the season by the San Beni.o COM
pany. The machinery in the San Be
nito mill is in many respects a dupli-
cate of the Ohio & Texas plant. Both
houses were designed by the same
sugar enigneer, A. f. Delbert of New
Orleans, the striking difference in
construction and machinery being
that the Ohio & Texas mill has heavy
masonry walls, and the machinery is
carried on columns and girders built
into the walls, while the San Be-
nito plant is constructed of steel
framing with curtain walls.
The electrical department of ;he
Ohio & Texas is much more extensive
than at San Benito, the former mill
having electrical centrifugal, while
the latter's are belt driven.
Electric centrifugals have been
adopted by the American Sugar Re-
filming company in their new refiner-
les, but are seldom met with in sugar
mills on account of first cost
