BALL LOOKED EtIR To
THOSE BEHIND PLATE.

From the press box. the hit looked
fair Judging from the lack OF protest
from the Richmond fans seated behind
the plate. the ball looked fair 10 them.
Neither was there any Kick forthcom-
ing from Holmes. the Colt backstop.
Therefore, IL appears that Pop" was
perfectly justified in altering his de-
cision and that the fans had no excuse
TO pounce upon him after the play
But they did. in no uncertain terms
and sarcastically hootcd fair bali at

Uncle Sam is planning for "Long

til the Germans shelled Paris from a
distance of rs miles, nobody saw the
possibility of such feat. Every day
we learn something new. Sometimes
these new things seem so strange that
we have to see them demonstrated be-
fore accepting them as true. Solomon
said there is no new thing under the
sun. He did not mean, for instance,
that there had ever been in the world
gun which would shoot IA miles, be-
fore the Germans invented theirs, but
rather that the idea of such gun had
always existed, and only awaited the
arrival of the time for the develop
ment of such an Clearwater

THAT BIG GUN.

In the big gun which the Germans
are said to have been bombarding
Paris the world has to thank Germany
for one of the most fascinating mys-
teries of the war. 1t is not yet abso-
lutely sure that the shells falling in
Paris have come from one or two
long range cannon in the forest of Co
balm. There are still protested ex-
perts who maintain that they could
have been dropped or fired from air.
craft at a great height, directly over
Paris or few miles away. Others in
sist that they have been fired from a
gun concealed somewhere within the
French lines and operated by German
or French traitors. But the long
range, big-gun explanation finds most
eredence.
If the Germans have really original
ed weapon of this sort, they deserve
credit for extreme mechanical ability
in artillery manufacture. Any gun
that will shoot anything rs miles, or
anywhere near that distance, is a
structural triumph. Whatever the ma
ture of the monster, whether an ordin-
airy rifle" carried to enormous size,
and fired by explosives, or new ma
chine operated by electricity or other
force, it calls for technical admiration.
Having said so much, we can give
the Germans no further credit. Scien-
tifically the gun is a marvel. Practi-
cally it is Of little value. It cannot
be moved. No she'll fired so far as
that can be fired with dependable aim.
The weapon is available only for blind
bombardment of good-sized city or
a considerable battle area. And in
this case the shells themselves are so
small, comparatively, that they do no
more damage than bombs dropped
from airplanes or Zeppelins.
The gun has been made and used, it
seems, merely as an instrument of the
murderous hate which has character
lied most of the recent German inno-
vations. 1t is one more way to muir
der helpless non-combatants, one more
trick on the part of the scientific brute
to brighten city and a people that re-
fuse to be frightened.-St. Petersburg

''that it is a matter of economy to

 My dear MT. Rivard:
 Please send the Progressive-Miner to the above address hereafter. I greatly enjoy reading it, particularly the local news. Apparently things keep moving in Ketchikan. We still miss the busy town and our friends there. and hope that the time will come when We can take a trip up that way again. Perhaps in ten or fifteen years when Ketchikan will be thriving with a population of 50.00O!
 We are very comfortably settled here, and the family's health is im- proving. The children are outdoors all day and are already we'll tanned. The church property occupies square block, so they have ample room to romp. The elder still thinks of Ket. chikan and asked whether there were a tide under our Carson house! Carson is the state capital, about 4,0OO it. altitude. and only an hours ride from Lake Tahoe. In addition to this parish I have the care Of the church at Virginia City. famous old town of the Constock Lode but now very quiet. and of two or three smaller mission stations hereabouts. I enjoy the work immensely and keep busy. l Please give my best wishes to any of my friends you may see.
 Yours sincerely,
