3" RABBED from the machine
shops OF an automobile factory
at Flint, because the little
Flint club In the Southern Michigan
association was desperately in need
Of pitchers, Miles Main rose through
the minor leagues until he was draft
cd by the Detroit club OF the Ameri-
can league.
Although he was native OF Flint
Main started his professional baseball
career with the San Antonio, Tex,
club. That was in 1909, the same
year that big Jeff Tesreau, Giant
hero. was chasing around through
the Texas league. playing with tour
different clubs, Shreveport, San An
tonic, Galveston and Houston.
Like Tesreau, Mains chief call to
recognition as a baseball pitcher was
his immense size. Main is one of the
biggest men in the game, standing
over six feet and weighing ZIP near
the 200podnd mark. He is right
handler
When San Antonio let Main out, he
Immediately came back TO his home
at Flint and started TO work in the
automobile shops at that city. the
year 1909 was a bad one for the
Flint pitchers. The management Oh
Of the club needed men 10 finish the
season and he secured Main for two
weeks work. In those two weeks at
the end Of the season OF 1909, Main
made good. lie was thereupon sign
ed for the season OF 1910.
In 1910 Main won 20 and lost Ia
games, which Is not so bad. The next
season he was much improved and he
won 20 and lost IL. He lead the Flint
pitchers. He won nearly a third OF
the games the up-staters took and did
major share OF the work OF putting
them in third place in the flag race.
In 1911 Main was sold to the Boston
Red Sox and at once turned over TO
the Jersey City club. Here some or
the strange angles of baseball came
into play. III everything had been
smooth, Main would undoubtedly
have made" good with Jersey City and
would by this time have been shunt-
ed back to the Boston club.
However, things did not go smooth
and after caroming from club to club
Main finally landed in the pocket
marked Detroit
Upon being assigned to Jersey
City, Main refused TO play with that
club for the salary that he was offer
ed. So he was traded to Buffalo In
deal that involved Henry Perry, the
famous outfield bloomer OF the Tigers
Of couple seasons back.
Mains sole ambition while with the
BufFalo club was to show Jersey CITY
that 1t had made mistake when II
traded him away rather than pay
the money that he wanted. That he
succeeded In doing this is evident
from the fact that Detroit chose him
out OF the entire Buffalo club when
It had chance for the pick of that
organization in the draft.
It may have been that Main would
have been secured by Detroit even
II he had stayed with Jersey City, Tor
the Tigers had right to the pick of
the Skeeters as well as the Bisons
in the draft. They took Bill Purten,
q third baseman, from the Jersey
City club.

Pendleton will be included on the
itinerary of the western excursion of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of Milwaukee this COM
ing spring. according to a letter re-
ceived this morning by the local COM
mercial association from the secre-
tary of the organization planning the
trip. The schedule as now arranged
takes in Pendleton and stop will be
made in this city, says the letter,
which was written in answer to an
invitation extended several weeks ago
through President Tallman and Sec
retary Cranston.
In their invitation, the local club
pointed out that Umatilla county Is
a section OF vast wealth ani that but
small idea Of the country can be
gained by trip through on the rail-
road. They urged that the Wiscon-
sin business men make a stop here to
survey the territory about this city
and the answer Is very gratifying.
The letter also asks that some copy,
telling briefly of the resources Of this
county. be sent at once for publica-

100 RESIDENTS TO
PAY INCOME TAX
THIS NUMBER IN UMATII.I.A
COUNTY WILL. COME UNDER
THE NEW LAW.

Approximately one hundred resi-
dents of Umatilla county have in
comes Of sufficient size to make them
taxable under the income tax law, ac-
cording to James E. Godfrey, internal
revenue agent who is here today on q
campaign of publicity. He states that
this figure is not accurate but is an
estimate made from reports he has re-
ceived from the county assessor and
county treasurer.
Mr.. Godfrey calls attention to the
fact that all statements Of incomes
must be filed before the first of March
and that it is incumbent upon those
knowing themseles amenable to the
new law to make application for the
blank forms and to file their state
ments upon their own initiative. No
agent will call upon them to inquire
as to their income. Mr.. Godfrey left
supply of blanks with County Treas
urer Bradley today.
A few of the provisions Of the in
come tax law as pointed out this af-
ternoon by Mr.. Godfrey are as fol-
lows:
A penalty of $40 to $1,000 for failure
to file reurns on or before March 1st
Fine not exceeding $4,000 or i'm.
prisonment not exceeding one year or
both at the discretion of the court for
making a false or fraudulent return
Every person having a net income
of $4,000 or over for calendar year
(s2500 for year 1879 must make a
return; single person is allowed an
exemption of $4,000 and a married
person $4,000. (For year 1913. March
/ to December 81. the exemption al
lowed is s25O0 or $3333.33.
All payments due on incomes may
be remitted at once or may be held
until June 80. Payment must be
made by certified check, money order
or draft. Personal checks can not \be
accepted
Partnerships as such are not requir-
ed to make income returns, but the
members comprising the firm provid-
ing their individual incomes reach
$4,000 (s250O for 1919 or over are
to make returns.
For the year 1913, the law operates
only from March l to December 81
so the incomes, deductions and ex
emptions are figured accordingly

an appointing power The local po-
lice and firemen not being under the
civil service, there as a question as to
whether or not the decision covers
the case here.
Justice Moore, who wrote the opin-
ion. however, says that even II fire
men and policemen were classed as
laborers, the evidence in the case does
not show that they have been en-
ployed in violation Of the eight hour
law.
"If it were conceded" he wrote.
that the members OF the fire and pp-
lice departments were unquestionably
laborers and not officers, which ad-
mission is not harbored, the facts
hereinbefore stated do not In our
opinion show a violation Of any OF
the provisions Of the statute in ques-

ment will convince any disinterested
person that It was designed to con-

The reserve is capable OF handling

the fact there are but few sheep in

have the land grazed because the
