People Want a Railroad

Let us hope railroad may soon
open the vast storehouse of natural
wealth of the Weippe- Pierce country,
vast undeveloped empire of mar
velous undeveloped resources. Pierce
is rich in mineral resources, and
transportation will make possible the
development of this. Weippe has
timber and agricultural wealth,
enough to furnish profitable tonnage
for a railroad. Its population would,
with transportation, quickly increase,
its towns would grow into thriving
cities, and numbering would open an
immense market for labor and farm
products. Land is still cheap, within
the reach of the poor man. and there
is room for those who are willing to
take off Their coats and work.

kept Us Out of War"

Washington, Aug. 26.-The admin
istration's Mexican policy was attack
ed in the senate today by Senator
Lippitt, republican, who said the
"unforgivable thing was the lifting
of the embargo on arms in February,
1914.
President Wilson, whose cam
paign cry is that he kept the country
out of war, used as an instrument
the most horrible and indefensible
kind of warfare. the senator said.
"All the forces of unbridled passion
and lust were armed and encouraged
to conduct conflict in which nothing
was sacred, not even the altar of re-
ligion.

float an egg. Remove from brine
and pack in glass jars, alternating
with layer of dill AMI layer of
white mustard seed. Care should be
taken not to allow pickle, to lay
against the side of jar, as this forms
an air chamber and causes them to

them to shake loosely in jar. Heat

Railroad Tieup Monday.

The threatened railroad strike will
begin Monday morning. Only mail
trains will move. 1t is nation wide
and will be the greatest tieup this
country has ever experienced. The
roads sent out warning early this week
notifying the public that perishahle
products that could not be delivered
by Saturday night, Sept. 2, would not
be received. Three carloads of mer-

Making Road Funds Count.

Clearwater county is paying Nat
Brown of Weippe, for l6 large horses
and men, $lS. so per day. Some
body is circulating the story that the
county is paying regular wages for
this work. AS a matter of fact the
county is getting this work for the
wages of the men without enough left
for horse feed, and nothing for these
big teams-eight trained spans of
picked animals. The county is get.
ting snap. Democrats and republl-
cans have given their approval to this
work, and urged the county to permit
Mr.. Brown to complete the Job.

they can find time to misrepresent
facts about matter that is saving
their own district a lot of road funds.

HOT SPRINGS MECCA
 FOR TRAINING CAMPS
Dodgers and Red Sox With Individual Players to
 Train There

Hot Springs, February 12-tSpecial) ) Harry A. Jones, manager of the Majes- tic hotel, where the Boston Americans will make their headquarters when training here next month, is in receipt of a letter from Charles H. Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn Nationals, stating that Coombs, Cheney. Pfetfer, Rucker Marquard, Sherwood M. Smith, Otto Miller and Mach Wheat would arrive at the Majestic Monday, Febru- ary 2S. They will remain until March 12. Ebbets wrote that he desired his men to enjoy a course of baths before reporting for spring training.
 Walter Johnson star box man for Clark Griffith's Washington team, ac- companied by Clyde Milan, are also ex- pected here the latter part of the month, as Griffith has ordered both men to the Spa, where they will bathe for a month before reporting for the spring grind.
 The Boston Americans will arrive at the Majestic hotel March 12. There will be 32 players in the first delegation few days later the remainder of the squad will get here, and when a count of noses is made the Red SoX will have
 
 number, however. awill also include many of the Providence, R. T., team which is the stable for the worlds champions.
 Jack Hendricks this week notified the management of the Pullman hotel that he and his Hoosiers would do their spring training in this city and would be located at that establishment. Word from Barney Dreyfus is also be- ing awaited. Dreyfus and Hans Wag- ner are pulling for Hot Springs, while Callahan seems set on going to Columbus, Ga. Every inducement is being offered to bring the Pirates back for another season.
 The public utilities, which controls the ball grounds in Wilmington park, however, is taking no chances, and a force of men have been working on the diamond to be used by Indianapolis When the team gets here the ground will be in good condition.

The game was hard played and ex- ceptionally hard fought. Both teams tried hard for decision but the two teams were about so evenly matched that no score could have been made had they played all night Players mixed up frequently, and the battle was made more lively through this channel
 Pratt City played great game They were outclassed according to all dope but the manner in which they fought proba- bly, saved them from defeat Paxton s, the Pratt Citly goalkeeper was a wonderful game. In fact, his playing surpassed that of any other goal keeper seen in action in the Birmingham district this season. He stopped two penalty kicks which ar, usually sure goals, besides stopping nu- merous other shots of the Vivian backs and forwards.
 Wylam had the best of the playing in the majority of the game, but failed to have the. necessary qualities tc score a goal. Wylam entered the game without a single defeat being marked against hel this season, while Pratt City, although defeated, showed that they had the nu- cleus of great team in Paxton.
 The game was aggressive throughout and players of both teams fought hard to score. The ball was continually in motion and the play for the majority o1 the time was in the center of the field Only on several occasions did the Vivian goal become endangered. as the Vivian defense played it's game well and few times did the Pratt City players work the ball in the vicinity of the Wylam goal.
 Wylam's halfbacks played a great game They worked well and gave the Pratt City defense trouble throughout tine game Neither side missed an easy shot at the goal, but the Wylam backs missed hard shots only on account of the alertness of Paxton. Several players were sadly of form and especially Strachen of Pratt City, who is regarded as one of the best players in the Soccer league. Strachen and did not work with his team as fea- tured in other games but played with Red Brown.
 The game was ended near dark after a big argument had arisen. Pratt City ob- jected to the refereeing. Referee Guthrie refused to quit as requested by Pratt City and in the meantime blew his whistle tc start the game. Wylam took the field and kicked goal. Both teams will make

but awaited his chance. The next day the field was again slippery and down went Butler as Srounder went through him.
 Down again snickered Viox. Why don't you get some tanglefoot?"
 The very next inning came Buffers revenge, Charlie O'Leary, then with the Cardinals, hit what looked like a hard but nice bounder towards NioX. Jim smilingly stopped to take it short, when the ball bounded hit him in the mouth and knocked him down Two teeth were knock ed out, and as he sat there splitting blood and his mouth swelling rapidly, Butler walked over and hitting him on the top of the head with his glove, chuckled:
 Well. you fresh kidder who's down now?''
 With handkerchiefs applied to his mouth, Jim looked up at Butts and shouted:
 I'm down, you big stiff. but I was knocked down. I didn't fall down like you"
 A little comedy on the first and third coaching lines Is all right but sound judgment in directing and flag ging runners is essential. Tom Need ham was not a comedian, but he stood like a watch dog over the Cub runners. One day, however, I saw him lose q | played on coacher
 Tom was standing at third, and Vic Safer, with two men on bases. hit a ee-bagger. Both runners scored and Safer, with the winning run, was head ing for third. He barely made it so far as the throw was concerned, but the ball bounded away from Byrne, and would have gone to the stands and al- lowed Saire to score. But the ball hit Needham on his bunion and Byrne re- covered it. The next two men could not bring Safer across and in the pa pers the next day Needham was linked with Rolla Zeider as "the bunon
 twins" The Cubs lost by that one run.
 M'GRAW IS CLEAR McGraw, in coaching his men or giv- ing them directions, does not resort to any of the parlance of the game but l now hands it to them in plain English Recruits coming up don't get the old time lingo, as shown one day in the case of Dave Robertson, the Giant out | fielder, in a game at Forbes field. Robby was going to bat with man
 on base and as he left the bench for

If proper coaching is not observed, mixups will occur oftener around sec ond base than anywhere else. 1t be- came almost epidemic for week or two in 1912 with Jimmy Viox and Artie Butler. In spite of our plans, and theirs, too. they were continually bang ing into each other.
 One day Butler. running back for a pop fly. in some unaccountable way got the spike of his shoe caught in his glove and Viox, going after the ball, stumbled over him. Butler fell again two days later in St. Louis in trying to make a catch, but Jimmy caught the ball, and looking down at his prostrate pal in the patch of mud, said:
 Well, I see you are down again."

BASED ON COMMON SENSE


 baseball is an involved code of signs and complications, but it is really all based on common sense, with fewer signs than people figure The Boston Red Sox, in their first years under Col lins, did not have a sign, and in the many games that Chief Trimmer caught Cy Young for Cleveland he never signed for a curve. Trimmer was so used to it that he would ride the curve" as the players put it in that time.
 Outfield coaching is a very necessary thing and when a man goes back to left middle or right after playing somewhere else for long time, he finds himself quite wary and thinks there are outfielders running into him with every ball he goes after. The danger is great not only to the game but to the person. Fred Clarke al- ways found left field second nature with him. But the lapse of four years following his retirement unsteadied him and he was as cautious as a be- sinner any time he went to the outfield in practice.
 One day last season he was all alone in middle field, chasing practice drives. There wasn't another man near him. but he always acted as though he were afraid of collision. The Clarke of olden days never cared who was near him. On low Texas leaguer he
