FEARS FOR WOODEN BOATS.
Marine Men Anticipate Many Will be
Lost in Storms.

1t has been predicted that there will
be a large loss of wooden boats this
fall and the remainder of the season
because of the number of them that
are In commission this year. Old hulls
that have been brought out this sea-
son. Even though many of them are
lost il is claimed that the loss to the
underwriters will not be nearly as
large as Il will be IL few large steel
steamers go aground and sustain large
damages.
Statistics for the past few years
show that the underwriters have suf-
fered far bigger losses on damage
done TO steel and iron boats than they
have on the loss of wooden hulls
The losses sustained years ago when
there were no steel boats were not as
large as they are now. Steel boats are
recognized as much safer and more
seaworthy than wooden ones. but
when steel boat goes OF the rocks
and damages say twenty plates so
that they have TO be removed, the loss
Ia greater than the total loss OF "a
small wooden craft.

HOUGhT0n AND.HANCOCk =
NOW TIED FOR HONORS
FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY RE-
SUITS IN SCORE OF 1910 IN
FAVOR OF LOCAL TEAM.

The Houghton high school football
team lied with Hancock Tor first place
in the interscholastic league saturday
afternoon when they defeated that
team oy score OF 10 TO 0. Houghton
had big advantage In weight and
their line was too strong for the light
Hancock backs and although the los
ers played gamely all through the
game. Houghton never were in danger
of being scored on. Houghton's de-
Tense was almost impenetratable and

was almost useless and I'm this depart
ment of the game Houghton easily
outplayed Hancock.
The first quarter was featured by
two brilliant plays by Lionel Worthing
the star Houghton half back, one of
which was responsible for a touch
down and the other would so have re-
suited had not Rogers fumbled the
ball when on the Hancock Vineyard
line.
Referee Jackson started the game at
3:12 Barrett kicking off to Houghton
ut the west goal and soon after play
began. Houghton's superior weight and
strength began TO tell. the play being
for the most part in Hancock's terri
tory. Near the end of the quarter
Worthing DISTINGUISHED himself by his
open field running and scored Hough-
toms first touchdown.
The second quarter slowed Hancocb
playing somewhat stronger and hold
ing Houghton at several critical places
The Houghton forwards continued to
break through Hancock's line and sew
eral times when Quarterback Gillespie
tried TO work the delayed pass or a
double cross play, the Houghton line
men came through and spoiled the
play. During the second quarter,
Houghton failed to score but several
times had Hancock in danger and on
three occasions Barrett was forced to
punt from behind his own goal line.
Alt made Houghton's second touch-
down in the third quarter after bril-
liant twenty-yard runs by himself and
Worthing and some good old-fashion-
ed line bucking by HOLSTER.
Hancock braced a little I'm the fourth
quarter and when Brock intercepted a
Hancock pass on Houghton's twenty
five yard line it looked like a possible
score for Hancock. Houghton held
like stone wall, however, and not
long after Marchon intercepted a
Hancock pass and Houghton started
down the field from their own fifteen
yard line. A long gain on a pass TO
Vivian and steady gains by all of the
Houghton backs brought the ball to
Hancock's thirty-yard line and then
Rogers went over for touchdown
running behind superb interference by
Worthing, Hollister and Alt. Hooper
kicked goal ending the scoring with the
count standing: Houghton, 10; Han
cock. 0.
The Houghton and Hancock high
school second teams played before the
first game and the Houghton team
on handily by n score of 26 to 0.
This victory gives the Houghton Sec
onds the championship in their league.

THE RAILROAD MAN
AND HIS WATCH

1t may be news to many that
the watch OF the railroad man is
as necessary in modern railroad
ing as the air brakes. Without
accurate time-keeping there would

If there were no air brakes. The
train dispatcher starts a train at
a certain time; he halts it at
certain stations at certain times:
he sidetracks it for a pe-iod Of
varying lengths. the watch of
the conductor on the sidetracked
train must agree with he vach q
the conductor on the express to
which he had to give way; each
station master along the road
checks the times Of every train
that stops or flies past.
In order that there may be agree

DELAY CAUSES LOSS
TO STOKMEN

Captain W. M. lMoorman was in
town on Wednesday from the
Norman ranch at Illipah. He
says that the cracks ~ the earth in
Jake's valley are causing almost
continuous loss of stock to himself
and his sons and other stockmen.
One ranchman owning a small
bunch of about eighty head, has
already lost five in the treachcrUus
holes, which have become flied
with water and act as so many
death traps for the stock. The
special hill introduced by Senator
Newlands to allow the stockmen
to fence that portion Ct the forest
reserve on which the cracks occur,
has been pigeou-holed by the COM
mittee to which it was referred
and the senator writes that il may
take a year to get action on IL. In
the meantime the losses to stock.
