BASE BALL

RIVER FALLS WINS AT HAMMOND
The River Falls base ball team
autoed to Hammond last Sunday
and copied a game from the dia-
mond stars of that village by a
score of to 4. The n sers did the
battery work for River Falls, and
they had the villagers guessing
wildly throughout the game. Bob
got twelve strike-outs and allowed
but five hits. Roman, for Ham
mond, struck out seven batters, and
allowed eight hits. Roman pitched
good game when things were
going his way, but went to pieces
badly in the pinches. Kay, of
River Falls, did the heavy stick
work, hitting safely three times out
of five trips TO the plate.
The River Falls team was accom-
panied to Hammond by large del
egation of loyal fans, and it was a
noticeable fact that majority of
the audience was from this city.
River Falls will play at Prescott
next Sunday.

Upon roll call the following Alder
men were found present: Clark. Cur
rem, Holland, Krogh. Lee, Mackey,
O'Mafey, Thomson.
The Mayor stated that the meeting.
was called for the special purpose Of
considering the installation Of g trunk
sewer system. He believed the pres
ent sewer to be inadequate for the
needs Of the city at the present time,
and unable to take care Of the sew
age from all parts OF the city; that
no sewage should be allowed to empty
into the river above the rapids, and
that all private sewers which now do
so should be compelled to connect
to some lateral sewer, and THAT for
these reasons trunk sewer should
be installed. Plans of trunk sewer
had been prepared by the City Engi-
neer, who was called upon and ex-
planned the same.
Moved by Alderman O'Malley, Sec
onded by Alderman Lee, that the mat.
ter of definite location for the propos-
ed trunk sewer system be submitted
to special committee consisting Of
the mayor and three aldermen, to-
gether with the city engineer and
city attorney, said committee to pre-
sent a written report thereon at the,
next meeting of the council.
Motion carried.
The mayor appointed as such COM
mittee, Aldermen O'Malley, Lee and
Clark.
Mayor Platou announced that he
had today received written authority
from the Northern Pacific Railway Co.
to order on their account twenty posts
for the ornamental street lighting sys-
tenn, and there being no objection he
stated the order for same would go
forward imm ediately.
Alderman Clark offered the follow
ing resolution and moved its adoption:

AMERICAS COTTON RIVAL.

A striking speech was made by Sir
William Willcocks, the other day
at Cairo, on the subject of ga Ten
Million Cantar Cotton Crop" Sir
William expressed the belief that
with rational irrigation and proper
cultivation the cotton production
would be not four, but six or seven,
cantars to the acre. He suggested
the division of the Nile delta into
blocks of 10000 acres, each having
its pumping station for securing its
proper drainage. BY such means, he
said, it would be possible to bring
the total cultivated area of lower
Egypt up to 100000 acres. In the
years 19O7-S Egypt produced nearly
seven and a quarter cantars of cot
ton; but in 1909-10 the total produc-
ton was only little over 100000
cantars.

How Newspaper Men, With the Con-
nivanco Of the Speaker. Secured
Adjournment Of House.

The speaker in almost any legisla-
tive body in America has a good deal
Of powecr, especiollyif an active and
vigorous portion of the members is
with him. A writer in The Clcve-
land Leader tells how O strong com.
bination was on one occasion effect
ed in the Ohio legislature. On a
certain Thursday afternoon a circus
came to town and complimentary
tickets were scattered broadcast.
The newspaper reporters were not
overlooked, and after five or six
months Of tedious work they we're
naturally rejoiced at chance to
get an afternoon off.
The speaker, too, wanted to see
the circus, and along about half past
one, when the discussion over a GER
tain bill was at its height, some one
looked at his watch and said, "Move
we adjourn"
"Moved and seconded we adj
journl" shouted the speaker. "All
in favor say aye"
All the reporters and some Of the.
members shouted "Asep Fifty Of
the members cried MOP
"The house stands adjourned -
said the speaker, bringing down his
gavel, and he and the light-hearted
Legislators marched off to the big
tents.

CALIFORNIA GIRLS AS ATHLETES.

TO promote all kinds of athletics
among the women of the University
of Southern California Sports and
pastime club has been organized.
1t has been felt for some time that
the lack of intercollegiate athletics
among the women students of the
university has had tendency TO
have them neglect their physical
welfare. The gymnasium classes in
measure substituted, but a large
percentage Of the girls did not take
agreeably to the indoor routine. The
newly organized club seems destined
to popularity from the start.

voyage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harder were returning

For Or Against Us.

From the two Shepherdstown papers
we copy the following expressions
whether friendly or unfriendly toward
Charles Town and the southern and
eastern side of the county the reader
many determine
The bill providing for government
building at Charles Town passed the
Senate on Monday. Charles Town
ought to have public building of this
sort. and we hope that the bill will get
through the House also.-Register.
The proposition to float bonds for
the erection of bridge across the Shen-
andoah river below Charles Town will
come before the voters next fall. This
is very risky proposition and one that
demands considerable attention from the
voters. It's a shame that the County
Court should put this question before the
voters at time when it will not and can.
not receive the careful attention of all
the voters Interested. This question is
loaded with dynamite, and it is we'll that
the voters look INTO it and be ready to
vote In November Independent.

The Great Ocean Disaster.

That the White Star liner Titanic, the
largest ship afl)at. sank off the Grand
Banks of New. oundland on Monday
morning of last week. carrying to their
death 6oI of the $40 persons aboard,
was briefly noted in our last ISSUE and
was told to the world 10 all irs awful de-
tails for the first time Thursday night
with the arrival in New York of the Car
pathia. bearing the exhausted survivors
of the Catastrophe. OF the great facts
that stand out from the chaotic tragedy
we have only space to give a few salient
ones. as follows
The Titanic was under orders to make
all possible speed. and was going at the
rate of % kuots when she struck the
great iceberg.
Instant panic was avoided by Captain
Smiths terse appeal to his crew, "Be
British. my men,"
The liner went down with her band
playing Nearer, My God. to Thee.
One of the most pathetic scenes was
the refusal of Mrs. Isidor Straus to leave
her husband. She remained with him to
the last, and went down with the ship.
Among the hundreds on her decks to
the last were Col. John Jacob Astor and
Major Archibald Butt, President Tsft's
military aide. each of whom acted a he
ro's part. Col. Astor handed his young
wife into boat tenderly and then gailg
called Good bye, dearie. I'll JON you
later"
The final parting of Lucien p Sm tn
from his bride of three months. who was
a daughter of Congressman Hughes of
this State, was tender and touching.
She hadforgotten treasured ring that
her husband had given her. and he went
be'ow and secured it. He put it on his
wife's finger. kissed her good bye, and
tod her that he would join her in anoth-
er lifeboat as soon as the women and
children had been put off,
A Senate committee is making a rigid
investigation of the great disaster and
its causes.
The cable ship Mackay- Bennett. cru's-
ing IN the locality of the Titanic disaster
has recovered over fifty bodies of the
victims Of the wreck.
