P. Byers the next man up hit q
bounding grounder to Brad fore
ing out Berger at second. The
locals turn at bat netted them
nothing. Burn and Fros went out
by the strikeout route, while Brad
drew a base on balls, giving them
renewed life for the time being but
it was of very short duration.
Brad decided to try to steal on the
first ball delivered and the pitcher
correctly guessing his intentions,
delivered the ball high and wide,
giving the catcher every advantage
of a quick and perfect throw,
therefore. the ball was at second
base waiting for Brad to arrive
upon the scene to complete the
third out.
In the opening of the second
frame the visitors got busy and
scored two runs. G. Byers was al
lowed to get safely on by Hicks
error and as the ball went wild he
was allowed to proceed on to
second. j. Peulen went out on a
fly to Well. W. Peulen was given
a base on balls. Both runners
we're now advanced one peg each
on Wells wild throw to second
when no one was there to cover
the base. Alvin struck out but
Goul after making a half dozen
fouls made safe hit, scoring G.
Byers and w. Peulen, Goul going
to second on the play to home
plate. Anderson for the second
time is hit with a pitched ball. II
was now beginning to look rather
serious for the locals. Six men had
faced the pitcher, two of them had
completed the circuit, two were
safely on and two had been retired
Sandberg tried hard to keep the
good work in operation but all bis
efforts were in vain for he was re.
tired by the strike out route. Ir
the locals turn at bat they went
out right rapidly after Hick had
drawn base on balls. Jam struck
out, Lohr hit a grounder to P.
Byers forcing out Hick at second
and Iver went out on a fly to j
Peulen.

occurred by the locals defensive
work but the visitors did some
wonderful tossing of the ball as
well. Anderson who was the first
man to bat was unfortunately hit
with a pitched ball. giving him
free transportation to first. Sand
berg drove one right back at the
pitcher that had the speed of a
cannon ball for it was invisible to
the naked eye and no one knew
where to look for the bail till it
went smack into Wells mitt. An
derson who had started for second
on the play was an easy out, thus
completing very fast double play.
Berger, Stillwater's Interstate Lea

bat. By being aided by the jumps
he was successful in working the
pitcher for q pass on balls.

The Road Of Youth

The winding road, the twisting road!
1t calls me through the misty dawn,
When all the world is fast asleep,
Come follow onl Come follow on!''
Come follow me, if you would see
A world all fresh with morning dew;
The birds, awakening from their rest
A lifting song shall sing to you."
The dusty road, the shining road!
It calls me in the clear sunlight,
And draws me to the distant hills
With snow-capped SUBMITS cleaning white.
Come follow me, come follow mel
Around the bend adventure lies;
Leave humdrum tasks and care behind
And wander meath the smiling skies:
'Perchance you'll find your hearts desire,
Perchance you'll find the pot of gold.
Alb, come before it is too late
The years are swift to make you old"
0 laughing roadl 0 road of youth!
hear you through the throbbing night.
Lead on! My heart is following
To distant fields of far delight.

The same company has secured

it took couple of days to haul

trucks, with a cargo of 20 tons and
make the trip in five hours. They

two years ON Herschel Island. He
is primed with interesting infor-

reactions to the touch of civiIiza-.

the most interesting parts of the
story, he will not allow to be pub

Herschel Island is almost two
months travel from Winnipeg, by
rail to Fort McMurray and north
from there by canoe or dog train.
According to his description it is a
heap of mud" in the Arctic
ocean. nine miles long. tits near
ly always draped in fog, aud snow
flurries every week in the year are
a regular occurrence. During the
brief summer season when for
more than six weeks the light lasts
"a hours a day. a green growth
something like prairie wool ap-
pears on the muddy hummocks.
Beautiful moss, little flower re-
sembling heather, and low-grow-
ing willow are the other chief
forms of vegetation, the timber
line being left behind somewhere
in the Mckenzie river delta, more
than 100 miles south.
On the island are posts of the
Hudson Bay company, the North
ern Trading company, of Edmon-
ton, and the H. Liebs company, of
San Francisco. A Royal North
west Mounted Police station, es-
tablished there in 1908, is in
charge of Inspector S. Woods and
two constables. The inspectors

travel north to the real lands end

has been on the island for several
months and likes the life fairly

The chief duty of the force is to
collect customs on goods sold to
the Eskimos from American trad
ing ships which come north from
California around the Alaska coast
laden with all the trappings of civ
ilization and 60 back with a cargo
of furs for which thousands upon
thousands of dollars have been
paid to the Eskimos in cold cash.
The natives hunt with the best
rifles of the market and are crack
shots. They spend freely, and the
duty on sales made on a ship dur
ing one visit amounts to thousands
of dollars. All this trading is done
during one week in the middle of
August. There are no Eskimos
living on the island. bat they
gather from the creeks and inlets
many miles away to use it as a
trading rendezvous.
It is the duty of the mounted
police to prevent the sale of intox-
icants to the Eskimos. The health
of the community is also in their
care, and last year they kept the
influenza at bay by preventing in
tercourse with Indians to the
south.
