70 the Tigers the same year. But
since the beginning Of the season
OF 1908 the little moist BALI hurl-
or has been facing the batters in
the American league and in looking
over his career the bitterest thought
for the Boston fan is the fact that
the Red SoN turned him loose.
Cicotte has been the one big hur-
die that the champion Red SoX have
been unable 10 overcome. His work
not against Boston particularly
/ but against all other rivals. has
given Chicago the advantage neces-
sary 20 keep the Red Sox from be-
ing three-time champions. He is
a Boston cast-off Bitter thought.
Up to the present season Cicotte's
most successful year IN baseball was
spent at Lincoln, Neb., when he won
twenty three games of ball. But
this lear ne viii pass that mark.
for several weeks ago he turned in
his twenty first victory for Row
land.
Cicotte was born at Detroit, June
10. 1884. He is feet 9 inches tall
and weighs l75 pounds He began
pitching for Calumet in the Cop
per league in 1904, and was taken
on by Detroit the following year for
a trial From Detroit he went TO
Augusta, in the South Atlantic
league. and once more he came back
to the Tigers in 1906, only TO be
turned over TO Indianapolis in the
American association. He failed 20
make good in the HOOsier capital
and was railroaded 10 Des Moines,
from which club he was recalled by
| Detroit and later sold TO Lincoln.
The Red Sox secured Cicotte in 1908
by claim, and from that time until
July 1912. he remained with the
( Hub team He was transferred 20
the White Sox via the waiver route
and has been with them ever since.

TRYING TO GET
new MACHINE

Manager Frank Berger of the Bon
ner Water & Light Company, stated
yesterday that during the past week
he has been in touch with a dozen
representatives of manufacturers
handling water pumps in the effort
to secure a pump which could be
handled in Bonners Ferry with the
power available from the Myrtle
Creek station.
Three of these representatives have
assured Mr.. Berger that they could
remedy the trouble here and he ex-
poets to know by tomorrow whether
or not it is possible to secure the
pump and machinery needed. Mr..
Berger had wire yesterday stating
that it was thought the machinery
required could be secured in San
Francisco and if so it would be sen;
here and installed within ten days.
Mr.. Berger states that the trouble
with the water system is that the
pump now at the pumping station
requires more power than is possible
to be furnished from the Myrtle creek
plant. With a different kind of a
pump installed Mr.. Berger will be
able to pump water from the Koo-
tenai river and furnish electricity for
power and light at the same time.
In accordance with the instructions
of the town board of trustees last
week Mr.. Storm wrote A. H. Feather
stone, of Wallace, advising him that
water was being pumped into the
mains from the mill slough for do
mestic use and that the electric SER
vl"e was poor. Mr.. Storm also asked
Mr.. Featherstone concerning the adj
visibility of installing gravity water
system and suggested the Snow creek
supply. Mr.. Featherstone replied as
| follows:
WALLACE, Nov. 26.--I have your
letter of recent date and replying
to the same beg to state that | was
advised some time past that it. was
necessary to get the assistance of the
mill company in pumping water fol
a few days but did not know that
the trouble had occurred again. The
same shall receive immediate atten-
ton and additional equipment will
be installed as soon as it can be Sc
cured if the present equipment is moi
capable of taking care of the needs
Regarding the Snow Creek propo
sition, | am advised that the creek i.
practically dry at this time and thai
it gets in that condition every yeal
when the water gets low. If any
gravity system is installed it SHOULD
be from a supply that will be ample
for a long time to come. 1 regre
very much that this matter has oc
Cured and l assure you that l will
do everything that can be done t,
remedy it and make things satisfac
tory at the earliest possible date
Thanking you for calling it to m.
attention, l am, Yours very truly,
A. H. FEATHERSTONE.

AN AVIATORS IMPRESSIONS ON HIS FIRST TRIP ABOVE The CLOUDS

This week J. w. Stewart received
the Brandon Daily Sun, of Brandon,
Ont, in which his nephew, Lieut.. K.
G. Stewart, described in a letter to
his parents some of his experiences
in the Canadian army aviation corps.
Extracts of the letters published fol-
low and are excellent descriptions of
the aviators' first experiences in the
air flights:
81 had my first trip this morning
and enjoyed it immensely. Never a
bit frightened or queer-seemed as
if / had been used to it all my life.
1t is really the first test of nerve
I've ever had excepting swinging that
engine on to the separator tongue at
home. The majority of fellows get
into the deuce of a funk and get
yellow as a ducks foot, and hang on
for dear life; but ! had a jolly good
look around and gloried in the oppor-
tunity given me.
zone gets rather a queer feeling
when she hits an air pocket and
drops thirty feet or so; but the most
peculiar feeling l had this morning
was when we cut the figure eight
and banked the machine well over on
each turn. The machine seems to stand
on her wing tips, and centrifugal force
drives her hard down on to your seat
All the fields take on more regular
outline; trees look like grass, and
buildings somewhat like tops; the
wind drumming through the rigging
sounds like heavens music, and the
clouds are like blank walls Of mist
To sum up, it is glorious!
