DYNAMITE BEING USED
Nebish Farmers Clear About $50
Acres in Past Two Weeks-Are
Now Seeding. 49,.
ARE SETTLING NEAR SCHOOL

Farmers in the country adjacent
to Nebish are making good use of
the car of dynamite recently shipped
by J. J. Opsahl. Mr.. Opsahl has just
returned from trip to Nebish and
says that about 900 pounds of dy-
Mantle have been sold already and
that the remaining 1000 pounds will
be sold in a few days.
Many settlers have come to this
district this spring and are rapidly
opening up their land. The majority
have settled near the Hay Creek
school house. They come from Min
nesota, the Dakotas, wisconsin, and
one from Maryland.
The following list of actual set
tiers shows that good progress is be-

Olympic Abandons Voyage.

The liner Olympic has been forced
to abandon her voyage to the United
States and has put back to South
Hampton. About 800 of the crew
struck on Wednesday just as tho
Olympic was to sail for New York.
The men alleged that the ship did not
carry sufficient life boats and that
the new collapsibles recently in
stalled were unseaworthy. One man
said that he could put a finger
through the canvass. Yesterday the
firemen and oilers who left the ship
stated they would not return until
eighteen men who had not struck
were discharged by the company. The
Olympic is a sister ship of the Titan

CHEW GUM IN LIEU
OF SMOKING CIGARS
Methodist Pastors at Ellensbure
Exercise Jaws to Horror of
Eastern Speaker

ELLENSBURG, Wash, Aug. 81
The distribution of sticks of chewing
gum among the Methodist ministers
in convention here, by the mayor of
Ellensburg, in lieu of cigars which
they declined, caused a bit of caustic
comment by John w. Hancher, finan-
cial agent of the American University
OF Washington, d. c., who was one of
the speakers Thursday.
THE American people spend more
for chewing gum than they give to
schools and colleges" declared MI.
Hancher. "Why, the first ministers J.
met after arriving in Ellensburg were
chewing gum
After his address it was explained
that the mayor had offered the MEM
bers of the examining board cigars
as bit of civic hospitality, All of
them refused the noxious weed,
whereupon he substituted gum, which
was accepted. 1t was one of these
ministers whom DR., Hancher met.
Educational Institutions

education, the conference program

Warner presiding, was devoted to the

For the first five innings 1t looked
as the game might go into extra in

however, the Tigers found ID. Marks
for five safe hits, which, with one
error netted four runs. Three hits

duced three more, While one more

Moxee's second run came in the
seventh. After H. Marks had been
retired on foul fly by Cromer, Gin
grass got to first when Olston dropped
his fly in right field. He went on
down to second on an error by Crom-
err Hanson batter q low fly to left
which Getchell dropped after a hard
run, and Gingrass scored.
Cloyd, J. Grover and Russell did the
heavy stick work for the Tigers, the
first named getting three safe swats
and the other two three each.
For the Tigers r. Grover put up
his accustomed snappy game at short,
while for Mckee Hanson, at second,
and Mulver, at third, were there with
fielding stunts. the first having six
chances without an error and doing
some nice work backing up.

possession of the fort, but before it
was entirely dismantled 1t served as a
place of refuge for Protestant mis-
sionaries after the Whitman massa-
ere of 1847. 1t was not strong post,
in military sense, for in the unpub-
lished report Of Warren and vavasour
they speak of it as being in very poor
repair and incapable of making any
defense in event Of war with the
United States. The post consisted of
old buildings and stores within the
stockade 15 feet high and 270 feet

The game of baseball at Sumach
park Labor day was a beautiful ex-
hibition, the strong local Tigers going
to glorious defeat before Maskrey's
all-star team by the score of to 0.
The most remarkable thing about
the game was the pitching of Pit
man, which was supplemented by the
phenomenal fielding of the rest of
the all-star team, as well as himself.
For the first three innings johnson
was the only man for the Tigers to
reach first base, drawing base on
balls. In the following inning Rus
sell slammed one against the left
field fence for two bases. Had it
gone two or three feet higher home
run would have been chalked UP for
North Yakimas prize first sacker. 1t
was one-two- three and out In the
fifth and sixth. In the seventh Cap
tain Grover led off with a safe hit
and stole second. The next three
batters went out in order. Getchell
singled in the eighth and Cloyd in
the ninth. but both were left ON first.
From the foregoing it will be noticed
that but five men reached first, four
on hits. one on base on balls. Only
two reached second. Not b man got
to the third sack. 1t required some
pitching and fielding to turn that
trick.
The all-stars made their first run in
the second. Mulver hit safely to
right field and took second on a
passed ball. He went to third on
another passed ball and scored on a
sacrifice.
In the seventh the all-star team
commenced to get familiar with
Johnson's pitching. I1igdon started
thing by, hitting safely and was sac
rificed to second by Dillon. john
son tried for a double at second but
failed, and Dillon also was safe. Fl.
Marks struck out. Rochester caught
one on the proboscis, hitting to deep
right center for three bases. scoring
Higdon and Dillon. Pitnan went
out, Johnson to Russell. Rfebe sin-
gled, scoring Rochester. Ginggress
was out on fly to Russell. $50, i,
The good stick work was kept in
the eighth inning. Yantis was hit
by pitched ball. Mulver singled,
sending Yantis to second. Higdon
singled, Yantis scoring. Mr.. Johnson
was taken out, Roy Grover going in
to pitch. Dillon reached first on an
error by Russell, who dropped q
thrown ball, about his first offense of
this kind this season. H. Marks got
to first. Rochester struck out. Pit
man was safe on Cloyd's error. Hig-
don having previously scored, Dillon
came home on the latter's play. That
ended the run getting. -
Gingrass, Dillon, Higdon and Pit
man for the all-stars certainly did do
some pretty fielding. Every one OF
them deserves credit. Rochester, be-
hind the bat. was also in the game up
to his neck.
For the Tigers, r. Grover made
several pretty stops and throws.
Johnny Grover, at second, had good
day and gobbled everything that came
his way
The same teams are billed to play
at Sumach park on Sunday, Septem-
Der 8, and Sunday, September 10.

Candidates and Other Critics
Voice Suggestions a. to
Improvement

SEATTLE, Aug. 30.-The second
choice vote provision Of the state d.
rect primary law is coming in for its
full quota of criticism again this lear,
as the primary campaign draws to-
ward a close. Candidates are Of
fering various suggestions to their
supporters, some urging them to pick
the weakest opponent for the second
choice vote, while others have no
suggestion to make, except to urge
repeal of the second choice clause
by the next legislature, The second
choice also has a few loyal friends
who believe it is help in securing
the selection of the strongest cand1-
date, especially among a field of ia
vorite sons" from various counties,
who have only local strength for first
choice.
A fair statement of one view of
the second choice proviso is given by
one of the seven democratic cand1-
dates for governor, Ernest Lister, OF
Tacoma, who urges every voter to
abide by the spirit rs we'll as the -et-
ter of the law.
"Since the second choice law Is on
our statutes, believe 1T should be
followed in spirit" Lister declares.
II have urged my own friends, who
will give me their first choice votes,
to give the second choice to the man
who in their opinion is the strongest
candidate among my six opponents.
That is unquestionaoly the spirit OF
the primary law, to secure the nomi-
nation of the best man by second
choice votes, if the FIRST choice fails
hope every man or woman who
votes for me for 1rst choice, VIII
give the second vote to the man
whom he or she believes is next best
fitted to be governor of this state. No
other consideration should influence
the voter. We have adopted the
second choice system, and should
abide by 1t and give it an honest
trial. A vote for a weak candidate,
given for political reasons. Is not an
honest vote, and do not think any
candidate cares to win except by an
honest expression of the peoples Will
