VANCOUVER
WAS PROOF
WAR IS ON

THAT
Vancouver, b. c.,
August S. 1914.

Dear Fellow Fans:
The war Is ON. Yesterdays
ball game was as near to being
war as anything l ever saw. Be
cause they do say that WAS Is
h. and yesterdays Beaver
Tiger battle was the worst h
of a game l ever saw. My de-
auctions are formed on the same
basis that, since all criminals
love cocoanut pie. all persons
who love cocoanut pie must be
criminals.
Anyway. we won the game. but
we had to slam out seven runs In
one inning to do IL. And at that.
after we had garnered 10 big
talIies on the scoTeboard, the
Beavers stuck up nine of them
alongside and worried me to
death until the game was final
~ over.
Vancouver is excited over the
war. Bunches of excitement
broke right out during yester-
days game, and every once in a
while someone would yell Long
live the king" and everybody
else would cheer. That war ex-
element must have got the play
ers' goat. They slammed that old
ball around as though they were
playing a championship tennis
match, and they ran bases faster
than the do at an indoor track
meet.
Osborne started for Tacoma
and went four and a half in
nings. Then Icy Kaufman went
in, but he had a hard time, also.
holding back the Beavers. In
the seventh the Tigers mauied
Hall around the lot until Reu-
thsr replaced him, and then they
hammered Reuther until he wish
ed he was back on the farm We
got esven runs and had more fun
in one inning than the Tigers
have had all season.
Russ Hall says tell the boys
that we're going TO keep on win
ming now that we've struck our
gait. Yours,
THE OLD FAN.

Dear Boys
In plate four We have three
different ways of mounting
engine all of which are bein
used and with success, though
they are a little more expensive
than the side way of doing il.
In the double drive it is neees-
sary to run to a jaekshaft which
is mounted on bearings in the
frame and from that to the rear
wheels with either a belt or
chain. In case of a chain you
must divide the distance up be-
tween the engine and the jack
shaft and the jackshaft and the
rear wheels as too long a chat
will always jump and cause nc
end of trouble in a lace as well
as in slow driving over rough
roads. Another thing, when you
use the jackshaft YOU can mount
a flat pulley wheel on 1t and
use it for a brake drum, while
in the other construction you
will have to brake on the rear
wheels.
Now, as to the dash, this will
have to be made out of a strong
piece of wood the exact shape
of the hood that you intend
using, be sure and fasten this
dash securely to the frame for
YOU remember that this holds
the steering wheel and a loose
wheel is a very poor thing to
fool with. The best way to fast
en- this dash is to make the lower
end solid to the cross member
with good screws and then for
safety put a piece of strap iron
about an inch wide and eight
inches long on each inside and
screw that on tight. would

steer with in a race for 1t wears
out too quickly. A three-foot
length of flexible steel cable will
not cost over As cents and Ii is
safe for a long time if the edges
of the tie clips are not sharp.
Be sure to make all bolts tight
and all connections the same
way as more trouble comes from
loose nuts and bolts than from
anything else. Yours truly.

no progress in finding the sister, With
out any data except the bare fact that
a man is dead and has a sister resid-
ing in keokuk whose name is not
known is a very indefinite clue to
work on. She may be married with a
name altogether different from Brown
and even very intimate friend might
not be apprised OF the fact that she
he'd brother or that his name was
Fora Brown.
The sister or any person having the

Los Angeles county, however,
shows the smaller production value

this, the report says, is that Los
Angeles city, with population of

county's boundaries and that agri-
cultural pursuits are conducted out
