new CHAMPION
SENSATION

When Miss Brown of. Southern
California won the ladies' national
tennis championship recently by de-
featfsg Miss Sears at Philadelphia
she occasloned no surprise in court
circles. Her playing in the prelImina-
riez was sufficiently impressive to
make the experts sit up and take no
tice. To her work one day IN the
'prelims" last week the Philadelphia
Anne lean pays this compliment;
MANY good tennis players. both
men and women, have come out OF
the West in the last few years and
have taught we rsasterners few
things about the game. With Miss
May Sutton, Miss Hazel Hotchkiss
and Miss Florence Sutton winning
honors in the East, It might be sup
posed that in their absence the East
ern women might have had look IN
again.
Judging from the play in the waru-
ems singles national championship at
the Philadelphia Cricket Club, st.
Martins, of Miss May Brown OF Cali
fornia, there is probability that me

alton whenever swimming is the topic
of conversation. II is a mere matter
of publicity to make this place the
swimming center of the world, and to
arrange championship meetings which.
after one or two had been held. would
be known throughout international ath-

to hold the swimming. championships
the same year as the transpacific yacht
race. and to schedule the swims within
a week or so of the race finish. In
this way the attention of the whole
country would be focused on Hawaii
for several months out of every twenty
four. giving the place much desirable
publicity.
People are saying now that Duke
Kahanamoku is bigger attraction
than the volcano. and from the miles
of newspaper mention he is getting.
this seems to be true statement. An
international swimming meet would
play up the Territory even more.

to swing bat 'Matty" was playing
real ball with team in one of the
minor leagues. And during that period
he was invariably playing against men
who were older both in years and ex-
perience.
"Matty's" soundest advice to an in
spring pitcher is that upon which his
own success was founded-control of
the ball He freely admits that his
early determination not to sacrifice
control to any other element of the
game has had an important bearing
upon his. career. How he practised

He chased all the wild fouls that no

Factoryville pitcher failed to show up
for a game he had his first opportunity
to play ball.

1t was not without test, however.
The team was composed of big, brawny
men, who had enjoyed all the hero
worshipping that Factoryville could
give them. These players acted as
critics while that Mathewson kid

best batsmen of the town had been
stacked up against him, he succeeded
in tanning out the captain. He also
won the game for his team.

JUST WHAT DID DUKE KAHA-

namoku and the other men who swan
in the heat of the 100-meter race at
Stockholm last Saturday, which Duke
won. do to get themselves disquali-
fed? That is the question that sports
men here would very much like to
have answered,
The latest press cable is to the eff
feet that the heat was thrown out and
ordered re-swum, the committee de-
Gliding against protest of the Ger
man swimmers, who asked that every
man who took part in the disputed
heat be disqualified. The committee
took the stand, and very properly too,
that in the interests of good sport,
and in order that the winner of the
race might be really the best SWIM
mer in competition, the heat only
would be thrown out, and the men
given another chance.
Press dispatches fail to state, how
ever, what caused the original cancel
lation. IL is intimated that through a
misunderstanding the swimmers fail
ed to conform to the conditions u the
contest, but just what they did or did
not do, is not stated. 1t is all very
vague and unsatisfactory, and until
fuller accounts arrive, very mysti-
fed crowd of sportsmen and Duke
boosters will have to put IN their
time in idle speculation.

GETTING WASHED

what dirty face"
Or leave the table right away, those

clean, my mother says "she fears

And sometimes when I've been out
and haven't dirtied me bit.
Some persons call me in and what she

Was shadows on my skin

have some tiny smears,
| don't see how bit will get way ur

You bet when I'm growed up without

big holes in both my stocking
knees,
Course I'll wash 'cept when play-time
interferes.
But you just bet III leave that patch
alone behind my ears"

Mrs. Mollie Barber Dropped Lamp
Early Monday Morning,
with Result Disastrous

A fire at A o'clock Monday morn
ing destroyed the wO-story residence
Of Mrs. Mollie Barber, 41412 North
Fourth street. Mrs. Barber had oc-
casion to arise at 3 o'clock to give at
tention to her sick son. AS she was
returning to her room she dropped a
lamp which she was carrying in her
hand, and a fire was then threatened.
Mrs Barber eXtinguished the blaze,
and thought she had put out every
spark, but in that she was mistaken.
The building and contents We're to-
tai loss. Mrs. Barber was the pos
SCISSOR of several hundred dollars
worth of diamonds. which were de-
stroyed with the rest of the property.
Mrs. Barber is an organizer for the
United Artisans, and on Saturday had
cashed a check for 500, spending
$25. The remaining $76 she had taxi

Jones, assistant state veterinarian
ARE undergoing the tuberculin test
in this city and vicinity in far greater
numbers than ever before in the his
tory of the place so far as my knowl-
edge goes. In the past three or four
years there has been a great in
crease in the number of herds, espe-
cially the dairy herds that have been
put under the test and of course the
progressive breeders who have stock
herds have long understood the value
of the tested animal. But now the
individual COW lis being tried out.
This even applies to COWS which are
used for home milk supply and none
of the product of which animals is
sold
Practically the whole thing is a
growth OF public opinion. The man
today who desires to sell COW can
not do so profitable, in the majority
of cases unless he can demonstra tie
that the animal has been tested and
found free from tuberculosis. Buyers
are anticipating the time when the
state will order the destruction of in
fected animals and they do not desire
to be caught in such a way that they
will lose half or two-thirds of their
herd. Families which purchase milk
from the one and two COW man are
more and more coming to demand
that the milk be free from all con-
tamination and one of the points they
are strict about is the tuberculosis
proposition. Owners of single COW
who sell milk usually have a baby
that is being fed and for the sake OF
the child they are taking such pre-
cautions as are possible Science, in
other words is winning out. The pop
ular knowledge regarding disease is
spreading and the methods in which
disease may be communicated are
becoming known
THE big result of this increase of
knowledge and public opinion, so far
as the Yakima valley is concerned,
is that the herds are being cleaned
up, the infected animals are being
eliminated and the milk supply Of the
people of this town is daily increas-
ing in character. l would hate to tell
you some of the things that I as a
veterinary encounter and it is better
perhaps that the consumers remain

event, is positive thing and so far

FIRST CONSIGNMENT
OF QUAIL ARRIVES
Game Birds VIII Be Planted in
the Lower Valley by County
Officials

The first consignment of game birds
recently ordered from Missouri by
County Auditor w. r. Newcomb on
behalf of the county commissioners,
arrived on Friday. 1t consisted of
$50 quail or bob white. These birds
will be taken to the lower valley to-
day by Game Warden Frank Bryant
and released at Sunnyside, Grand
view and Mabton. Mr. Bryant will
be met at Mabton by County Commits
sioner William Lemay, who will as
sist in placing the birds in the best
locations possible.
There are at the present time many
Chinese pheasants and other game
birds in that portion of the county,
and as all conditions are favorable ii
is cinch that the new arrivals will
take kindly to their surroundings and
multiply rapidly.
The county commissioners ordered
800 quail, but the remaining $50 will
be here at later date. AT the same
time they put in their order a few
weeks ago they sent for 100 pairs of
prairie chickens and 500 Hungarian
partridges The prairie chickens and
the Hungarian cartridges will come
along later.
AS the expense of planting these
game birds throughout the county
Will be quite large, it is the intention
of the officials to see that they are
thoroughly protected, to the end that
in the coming years the sport OF
shooting them viii be excellent, and
IL. IL
the food supply of the county. This
will be one branch of diversified farm
ing.
Ranchers near where the birds are
planted will be asked TO Tend their as
sistance in seeing that they are not
killed illegally, and that they are fed
and cared for in case there should be
severe weather, which is not likely.

Of any kind. The safe soon after was
levied on by the company that sold it
the telephones were torn out, furni-
ture company laid claim to the fur
niture and a mob of bondholders be-
sieged the door.
The companies are reputed to own
the townsite of Wahluke, Grant coun-
ty Washington, and a power plant
there. but these properties are mort
gagged for full value. Holders of
bonds of the face value of $4,000, 900
will get nothing, the attorneys say.
and it is not apparent where the re-
ceiver's compensation is to come from
1t is stated there are bondholders in
every, state in the nation.
So far as known the three com
panies consisted entirely of w. E. Del

From the Shoulder with
Some Home Truths
WHAT HE SAYS OF WE
NATCHEE is TRUE HERE
Remarks on the Need for Getting
Beyond the Competitive Stage
to That of Cooperation in the
Sale of Apples

w. IT. Clark, of Wenatchee, for
strong men of the northwest who is
devoting his energies to some proper
solution of the problem of market
ing fruit. He believes the time has
arrived for the elimination of com
petition and the substitution there
for of community effort. Speaking
along this line to the people of the
Wenatchee district recently Mn.
Clark said many things which apply
not only to the producers he was ad-
dressing, but to orchardsts all over
the Northwest Some chips that fell
during his address are here given. He
said.
"The only way that apples can be
mark eted is to be sure that you have
apples to sell"
"There is no use to talk of a sell
ing agency unless you have absolute
control of the thing you propose to
sell"
so long as Wenatchee apples were
novelty because of the small out
put, it was easy to get a good price
but increasing production forces you
to choose between competition and
cooperation.

Eighty per cent Of the growers in
this valley require financial assist
ance to market their crops.
by combination of all growers in
this valley into one association the
combined value of the orchards gives

the steel trust is greater; but the
steel trust has plenty of capital on
which to do business. This plan will
provide US with necessary working
capital

ton and bylaws need alterations let
us hire an attorney to do the job;
meantime let us get together"
ut takes time to build up any big
selling organization. Big corporations
ask and get so year franchises. Why
should we limit ourselves to a one
year charter"
Production of the fruit is simple;
Marketing is the great problem.
Therefore is it not wise to devote ten
cents per box to solving that prob
lem?"
Don't combine unless you are
willing for a manager and board of
directors to do business for you"
Buyers are just like ourselves
they want every dollar there is in it.
