A week ago Bath went against a.
team of smaller fellows from Halo
WE'LL but the Gardiner team, this
week. was composed of good husky
men and ready at all Mines to mix it
to suit anyone. In the first and third
periods the crowd was standing up
on its feet and on the seats and
nearly everyone was yelling like mad.
at was a game to thrill the heart of
a polo fan and make him forget there
ever was Worlds Series TO be set
tied.
In the first period, Bath started off
and within half a minute had scored
n goal. Then Scott made foul and
4fcCabe on the free try drove one
past Ivers Harrington. Then Gardi-
ner got busy George Marley Played
like a whirlwind and was everywhere
on the floor and with his LETT handed
drives broke UP Baths style OF play
SO that Harold Harrington got a goal
in - seconds and then after five min
utes OF play Scott slammed in another
In a little over three minutes he re-
peatcd the trick ana then in four
minutes more Gagged the fourth goal
for Gardiner The period ended with
Gardiner in the lead, AZ.
Path got quick slam at the ball.
when the second period started and
within Is seconds nailed a goal. And
that was the only one for the period,
Both teams put up a stiff game and
9 Gardner, if anything. got more shots
at BATHS goal. The excitement ran
HIGH during the period, and at times
,.la hap afhara6 a bout
goal, all trying at the same time to
score or offset score.
Within 30 seconds after the third
period started MeCabe did another of
those lightning slams and safely Gagged
a goal. This tied the score and then
perhaps Gardiner didn't play polo. The
drives went slamming towards Wright
in quick succession and ne was kept
busy and within four minutes Har-
rington had scored the winning goal.
But IT wasn't really needed for just
before that Shaughnessy had made
the third foul for Bath, Thereby taxi
ing away one of Baths scores. With
over 10 minutes to play both teams
played the game for all they were
werth, Bath made some smastes to-
wards Harrington and he had three
stops right at one time. If anything
the Bath fellows made the fiercest
drives but when it came TO rushing
the ball Gardiner had it all over them
1t was a great game every minute
and everyone who saw it agrees to
this statement. Gardiner showed that
it had some classy polo material right
here and although Bath ha good
team they We're not in it with the To-
cal boys.

THE GREAT COST OF
ROAD maintenance
Maeadem Must Be Constantly Watch
ed-Brick Wears Well.

At the recent road congress s. Percy
Hooker. who has had long experience
as superintendent Of highways in New
York and New Hampshire. declared
that the cost Of maintaining all varie-
ties of improved roads Is about the
same II the interest on the investment
Is counted. He thinks that the greater
cost Of building brick road makes an
interest charge equivalent to the cost
Of maintaining a mucadam road.
All this may be true. but one fact re-
mains in favor Of the brick road-it
will be maintained by not wearing out
whereas the macadam road IL likely tc
wear out by not being maintained. A
constant bill for maintennnce II harder
to pay. 1t appears. than hill for inter.
est ON money invested. II 1t will be
maintained there n no objection to any
form Of good road. but maintenance
seems to be a doubtful thing. and the
way to have good rOad Is to get 1t in
Its most nearly permanent form at the
start. The money spent on many mac
adam roads has been practically thrown
away for lack Of their proper mainte.
nance. The money spent on brick ronds
is still paying dividends in good serv'
ice. And that Ii why 1t is better tc
build brick roads in our present uncer.
tain and growing stage of road work.

100000 POUNDS
OF FRUIT SHIPPED
Puyallup Cannery Has Unusually
Successful Year, Says
Report.

The advantages the Puyallup valley
ranchers have obtained through their
cooperative cannery are set forth in
an article in the last issue of the Puy-
allup Valley Tribune, which said in
part:
How the organization OF the fruit
growers of this valley by w. H. Paul
hamus has drawn attention from many
and distant sections of the country
and has made Puyallup the center of
one of the largest and most successful
enterprises of it's kind in the world is
pointedly emphasized in the report of
this years output of the Puyallup &
Sumner Fruit Growers association
just forwarded to Washington at the
request of the federal government.
This report shows that in berries alone
the cannery handled the astounding to-
tai of 100000 pounds. The total for
1911 was trifle over 100000 pounds,
the increase being over 100 per cent
But for the largely increased capacity
of the cannery, made at the sugges.
ton of Mr.. Paulhamus, and against
the judgment of some of the more tim
i'd members of the association, the can
merry would have been swamped and
the consequent loss have been meas
ured in ten Of thousands of dollars.
"In reading the table appended II
should be borne in mind that this does
not include the pack in barrels, tried
for the first time this year, and found
most satisfactory. In fact. ,ow-
ing to the facility with which the
| fruit could be handled by this method,
the. cannery force was enabled to save
fruit from decay that otherwise would
have been lost. As it was, when the
enormous yield Of blackberries were
picked and brought in to the cannery
the plant was forced to run day and
night in order to save the fruit"
