THREE TIMES TORPEDOED

Inc following account of tho ex,er;
ehce OF raymond Graves taken from
'he Wenatchee World, will be- read
WIN much interest by many of the
residents OF this place personally ac-
qualhted with the young man. Raw
mond spent some time in Orovi,io
sisl'ihg with his aunt, Mrs. F. B.
Nance. -
raymond Graves, son of Mr.. and
Mrs' u II. Graves of Malaga, is WIS.,
lung in the vicinity after a most
strenuous year spent in the naval
''lliitia. during which time he made
siA lrlps across the Atlantic ocean.
ana escaped from three ships that
were plown up by German torpedoes
1t is doubtful if any member NJ
uncle Sans armed forces have had
a more exciting experience than
that which fell to the lot of young
graves who went into the naval
militia more than one year ago.
On one trip across, the squadron
10 which he was attached was at
tackled off the Irish coast by four
submarines. Two of these were de-
Stroyed and the other two SUBJ
merged to escape a similar fate.
Graves was aboard the President
Lincoln when 1t was sunk on the re-
turn trip from Europe. He was
picked up as were most of the crew
and complement of men aboard that
ill-starred vessel.
lie was also on the steamer
Luckenbach. which fought off sub.
marine for several hours and finally
escaped This was one of the most
exciting and dramatic experiences
OF the entire war. In which freight
steamer with two small guns held
off a submarine armed with bat
terry of much larger guns, in a run
ming fight. The sub was finally
driven OFF by destroyer,
The third encounter with subma-
rines In which young Graves took
part was when he was aboard the
Santiago, which was sunk, though
the men nearly all escaped.
Fighting submarines and getting off
torpedoed vessels has become an old
familiar experience to Graves, whose
years service in this branch of the
service has been crowded with more
narrowing and thrilling adventures
than usually fail to the lot of the aver
age naval officer in the course of an
entire life time.
Another unusual episode in his ca
reer was a trip In an airplane over
the present fighting front in the Lor-
raine sector He was able to see the
German lines and Notifications all
around the City of Metz.
Graves is an accomplished violinist
and he played in many Of the camps
both in this country and Europe as
well as in some Of the largest the
aters in America.
He expects to take the examination
for promotion to the rank of ensign
upon his return to New York about
October 90 He has also been pre-
pairing himself to enter the heavy
artillery
Mr.. Graves grandfather was Rev.
J. A. Graves, formerly pastor of the
first Christian church to be built in
Wenatchee
His uncle, DR.. r. NJ. Graves, Is in
the medical corps with the rank OF
captain, having entered this branch
of the service soon after the United
States declared war on Germany.

A. p. Murray is among those who
have received a call to report at Ok
anOgan on the 23d to be inducted into
the service at Camp Lewis. Mr.. Muir

into the officers camp at Camp Tay-
lor, selecting the artillery branch OF
the service, and his application has
been favorably received. Here is an
other very valuable citizen that the
town is elected to lose during the con-

PETITION FOR CROSSING

The largest petition of legal voters
ever signed in Oroville is now being
circulated, which already carries 1870
signers for the crossing, while seven

representatives in this form to show
the necessity of the crossing as we
and that crossing is on one side of the

advantage to our farmers going to the
postofiice as well as the people in our

Horses and bikes were the only

Sunday. A couple of cars and
two motorcycles showed up in
the forenoon but these got into

out a car. joy ride by anyone.
While it is not a government or
der, it was a request that no gas
oline be burned foolishly on Sun
day in sky-hootin over the coun-
try. 1t was taken as an order
and religiously observed by our
people. Any request is taken as
an order and it is obeyed by those
who are patriotic and that seems
to be about all OF, us. these days,
Many thousands of gallons of the
precious juice has been saved al.
ready for use over there. Ii it
will help to win the war, and it
will, let us never again until the
war is won, steam up the old car
for anything but an absolute me-
+cessity. Uncle Sam has asked us
to conserve on everything. He
knows our needs better than we
do in Ely or wherever, and this
request no doubt comes instead Of
an order. Let us observe the re-
quest. Perhaps it will be like the
fuelless, fireless days of last win.

Ely Wins In the Tent,

1t took ten innings to decide
the ball game Sunday in Athletic
park between Ely and Winton.
1t was some game. The score.
stood four. and five in favor of
Ely at the end of the tenth frame.
WintOn went to bat first and
got in score, after which Ely
ran in three. Then, in the third
Ely got one after which it was in
and out until the sixth, when
Winton grabbed off another one,
and following this inning Winton
got a couple of more and that
was all. 1t was fifty fifty and the
game got interesting as the ci-
pliers showed up on the score
board. Ely went to bat last and
chased in one, making the killing
and it was all over.
Lambert caught and Chinn
pitched for Ely.
The Winton batteries were
Written and Chase, with Cox and
Harri umpires.
A good size crowd witnessed
the game and were certainly eli
thusiastic. No automobiles were
ON the ground, but span of
horses and surrey were adj
mitted as coming within the regu.
lations. The day was an ideal one
for baseball or anything else.
This will probably be the last
game of the season unless Win.
ton thinks Ely won on fuke and
challenge our boys for another
tryout. The game throughout
was a fine one But little rag
chewing prevailed and was soon
adjusted. Some; splendid plays
were made and on the whole it is
doubtful if thes'big teams could
have entertained the crowd any
better. ! - :.

TO BE COMBINED
War Work Funds Put Together
In One Big Drive.

On Thursday President Wilson
issued statement in which he
requested all the American Army
Welfare agencies, recognized by
the War Department, including
the Y. M. G. A., the War Camp
Community Service, the American
Library Association, the Knights
of Columbus, the Salvation Army
and the Jewish Relief Society, to
combine in their next appearance
for funds. John r. Mott, General
Secretary of the War Work Couu-
Gil of the Y. M. G. A. has issued
the following statement:
In this request the President
has raised a standard to which
men and women in the nation,
can and will rally royalty. This
is not to be Y. M. G. A. cam
paign or a Knights of Columbus
campaign nor Salvation Army
campaign. 1t is to be a campaign
for the men over there in France
and in the environments on this
side and on our brave ships ev-
erywhere. A campaign for the
maintenance and increase Of NOR
ale which Napoleon said is to
other factors in war. as three to
one. The dollars given to the
common fund will reach. the, boys
through seven different channels,
but every dollar will be made to
do maximum work. No matter
what sign is painted over the
door of any hut or hostess house
its door will be opened to every
boy equally"
"The total amount of one hun
dred and seventy million dollars
is tremendous. The largest gift
for which any people have ever
been asked for at one time so far.
Compared to the figures to which
the war has accustomed us it is
not much. A recent letter
from one of General Pershing' s
staff officers made the statement
that the work of these great agen-
cies is adding at least ten per
cent to the fighting efficiency of
our men. If it is worth eighteen
billion dollars to keep our boys
under arms next year, surely it
is worth one hundred and seventy
millions to make them fight ten
per cent more efficiently. Moth
ing in my five visits to the battle
field has impressed me more than
the way ia which men of all re-
ligious bodies have blended their
sacrifice even unto death for the
supreme cause.
"This great campaign will give
us a chance to show that the men
and women at home are capable
Of rising to the same heights, OF

representatives over there. Ii

Attend Encampnisnt.

About thirty members of the Ely
Home Guards attended the en-
campment of the Eighth Battalion
at Lake Eshquaguma near Biwabik

the Biwabik people proved them
selves excellent hosts. Major
Schuster was in charge of the en-
campment and was ably assisted by
the other officers. Companies from
Biwabik, Gilbert, Aurora and Ely
participated.
Retreat and inspection Sunday
evening was an imposing spectacle
witnessed by a large number of
people from the range towns.
Music for this feature was furn-
ished by the Battalion Band from
Eveleth which organization also
gave a concert in the afternoon.
Before the arrival of the Eveleth
band, music was furnished Satur.
day and Sunday by the Biwabik
band. Both the Eveleth and BIZ
wabik bands did much towards the
success of the encampment.
The commissary department also
came in for a large share in the
success of the gathering. This de-
partment was in charge Of Sergt.
