him, which action was taken by the
Gull chief on the advice Of Frank
Connaughton manager of the New
Bedford club, who captained Firms

1910, "a wise fellow and good
friend of Firms. Hogg is but 20
years old, feet IL inches tall,

TIM HURST, the veteran umpire,
tells one on Bill Dahlen, man
ager of the Brooklyn Nationals,
when Bill was a youth toiling un-
der Cap. Arson in Chicago Said
he;
"Anson called DahIen good and
hard in a game l was umpiring in
Chicago. Dahlen took it without
saying word but a few minutes
later Bill remarked to me: Watch
me bark that old fellows shins.'
Ans was not as agile then as he
was in his younger days and he
stopped with much effort. All
through that game Bill made great
stops, only to throw the ball few
feet. in front Of the bag, and it
was up to Arson to stop it with his
shins.
However that was not the end
of it. A few days later the White
Stockings had to make a trip to
St. Louis. and Arson told Dahlen he
would not be taken on the trip. Bill
had been told that several times
and he thought Ans was only fool
ing. The train left Chicago about
midnight and DahIen was with the
rest of the team.
when the train was about %
miles out of Chicago the conduc-
tor told Arson there were sixteen
men in the party and he had re-
ceived only fifteen tickets. Arson
said there were only fifteen men
and named the berths they occu-
pied.
The man in berth No. I says
he is a member of the Chicago
team said the conductor. who was
referring to Dahlen. He's stringing
you, replied Arson. Poor Bill was
asked to cough up and couldn't.
The train was stopped, and Dahlen
was put off about thirty miles
from Chicago. How he got back to
Chicago only Bill himself knows,
but he would not talk to anybody

ROAD TO RIVER PROJECTED
Walla Walla Merchants Fear Loss
of Trade to River Cities.

Walla Walla-To discuss building a
macadam road from Walla Walla to
Wallula to connect with the open
river, a meeting Of all interested in
the project in the Inland Empire has
been called by the good roads commit
tee of the Commercial club. Chair
man J. C. Scott, of the committee,
said that he had received answers
from men in every town that they
would be here.
The committee is agitating the
building of this road in time for the
opening of the Panama canal and the
starting of better river service. Goods
will be hauled to Walla Walla on huge
motor trucks. Half of the distance is
through sand, which makes hard pull
at present.
"Unless something like this is done,
Walla Walla will lose her advantage
as a jobbing point" declared Mr..
Scott. ''The dealers handle huge
quantities Of goods from Portland
now, but the opening of river service
will give river points an advantage
unless we have direct connection"

COST OF LIGHT AND POWER
Cities Will Employ Counsel to De

North Yakima - The towns and

Pacific Power & Light company will
employ additional counsel to assist
their attorneys and engineers in pre-
pairing their case before the public
service commission, when the matter
of physical valuation of the properties
of the company is brought up at the
hearing.
This was decided at a meeting of
representatives from North Yakima,
Toppenish, Mabton, Grandview, Pros
ser, Kennewick, Pasco, Dayton,
White Bluffs and Hanford. C. O..
Shumate, city attorney of North Yaki-
ma, was elected permanent chairman
of the organization, and G. C. Lee,
city attorney of Toppenish, secretary.
The tentative plan of meeting the
expense of the trial is to apportion it
among the incorporated towns and
cities according to the assessed valua-
ton for 1912.

TO ERADICATE BARK BEETLE
Forestry Department Believed to
Have Pest Under Control.

Washington, D. C.-By prompt
campaign against fourishing colony
of bark beetles on the Ochoco National
forest in Central Oregon, the govern
ment is eliminating danger which
threatened to destroy millions OF feet
of timber.
Some authorities assert that the
amount of timber killed each year by
insects is equalled only by the annual
loss from forest fires. Among the
most destructive of these insect enc
mics are the bark beetles, one OF
which. the mountain pine beetle, is
RESPONSIBLE for most of the damage on
the Ochoco forest. This deadly little
beetle is less than quarter of an inch
in length, but bears the ponderous sci
entific name of Dendroctonus month
colae Hopk., which, being interpreted,
signifies killer of the mountain pine
tree, discovered by Hopkins.
Its methods of operation are inter-
esting. The mature beetle bores
through the bark of the tree and exca-
Yates a gallery in the inner living
bark and in the outer surface OF the
wood in which it lays its eggs. When
Matched, each young larva, or beetle
grub, channels into this growing por-
ton of the trunk, feeding on the inner
bark. When full grown, the larva,
after passing through a dormant, or
pupal stage, becomes beetle. This
beetle then drills out through the bark
in July, and emerging into the world
seeks fresh tree and starts a new
generation.
With this "chain-letter" method it
soon infests large area. The gal
leries or channels of the larvae girdle
the tree and kill it, and the beetles
presence is usually discovered, as it
was in the Ochoco forest, by patch
of red-brown dead pine trees in the
midst of the mountainside of green.
In fighting this forest scourge, the
method recommended by the bureau OF
entomology is followed. The simple
removal of the bark of infested trees
between October and July, while the
larvae are still in the tree, is sufficient
to kill them. The lumber may then
be sold while it is yet sound.
On the Ochoco forest, however,
there was no market, and the forest
officers found that the cheaper and
more effective method of control was
to cut the trees and burn them before
the new broods of beetles could
emerge.
In 1912 the infestation received a
decided check by the cutting of $500
trees. This summer the attack on the
insects was resumed with renewed
vigor, and AZ laborers, in charge of a
forest officer, cut more than 40, 600
trees. AS a result of these vigorous
measures, the government apparently
has the beetles under control.

The Washington law, practically
identical with that of Oregon, prohiD-
it's aliens from taking food fish unless
they have year prior taken out their
first papers, and an opinion has been
requested as to whether this will pro-

Plea for Old Frigate Made.

Washington, D. C.-The old frigate
Constellation, built in, Baltimore in
1897 when President Washington laid
the foundations Of the American navy,
and under Captain Thomas Truxton
the victor of decisive fights with the
French frigates La Insurgente in 1899
and La Vengeance in 1900, which es-
tablished the United States as mari
time power, came into the records of
congress again as living part Of the
nations establishment.
An appropriation Of $50, 1000 was
asked by Representative Linthicum,
of Maryland, for the ''repair and fit
ting out" Of the historic old ship, the
oldest in the navy. The Constellation
is now at Newport. The resolution
would provide for her transfer to
Baltimore for public exhibition.
