season, due to lack of material to
enable them to compete success
fully with teams from the larger
towns of the state, the boys have
shown a good spirit in all their

gymnasium the town teams of Tono-
pah and Goldfeld will play their
second game of the season, the first
game, at Tonopah, having been won
by Goldfield.

G. R. CASTNER TELLS
OF EASTERN TRIP

''It was wonderful trip and one the

Gently returned from tour of the
middle west and east that carried him
as far as Boston, where as a delegate
from the local Post he attended the
national encampment of the Grand
Army.
Judge Castner and his granddaughter
left here June 5. going by way of Spo-
kane. For 440 miles they travelled
over the c., M. & st. p. system, which
has been electrified and which Judge
Castner characterizes as one of the
finest pieces of railroad engineering he
saw.
"For the entire distance" he says,
through tunnels and out in the wild
expanses of the mountains, we sailed
along without smoke6or cinders."
Judge Castner and his granddaughter
made an extended visit at his child
hood home, Lawton, Mich. He found a
grove of sugar naples that he had set
out in 1864 grown SO large that he was
unable to reach around their trunks.
At Battle Creek he attended the state
encampment of the Michigan Grand
Army and marched with old comrades,
four abreast, until thunderstorm
broke up the parade. Judge Castner
attended reunion of his regiment, the
18th Michigan Infantry, at Kalamazoo.
Fifteen of the members of his company
were present.

proceeded to New York city and into

his granddaughter visited Buffalo and
Niagara Falls. They travelled west
ward by boat to Detroit. On the way
home through Canada they visited at
Penticton, where Judge Castner was
formerly in the horticultural service of
the provincial government of British
Columbia, and Vernon, where John B.
Castner, son, is now employed by the
government as horticulturist. Judge
Castner says that practically all of the
young men of Canada have Joined the
army and that the fruit crops are being
handled by women. The British Co
lumbia district produced abundant yield
this season. All of the apples have
been shipped.
