serves especial credit, as he di-
rected the drive against a condi-
ton others considered impossible
to overcome. He got the result
in a day.

Nezperce Loses to Cottonwood.

In last Sunday s Prairie League
ball game at this place, Cotton
wood carried off the honors in a
score Of 5 to 4. 1t was Nezperce 5
game by every ordinary rule, but
the little good luck perched on
the banner of the visitors and or
dained it otherwise.
The weather was ideal for base
ball-plenty warm, with bright,
clear sky The fans were out in
good numbers, and Cottonwood
sent over a representative bunch.
The opening inning saw both
mines go up for blank, and Cot
tonwood drew the same ticket in
the second, but Nezperce found
the leather and got two runs over.
In the third, Cottonwood moved
up with two over and the locals,
just to keep in the lead, took
another. Both again blanked in
the fourth, but in the fifth Cot
tonwood increased her score to
five and .blanked Nezperce. Mol
en- Hollen took the box for Nez-
perce in the sixth and it was a
blank for the visitors thereafter
He struck out 8 men in the last
four innings and permitted only
four hits. But the locals had lost
the game and they were able only
to gain one more run, which hap
pened in the seventh.

Miss Blanch McCahill Dead.

A message received here Satur-
day by G. j. Fike brought the sad
news that his granddaughter,
Miss Blanch McCahill, had died
on that date at the home Of her
parents in Reedley, Calf, and
that the funeral would take place
and interment be made there.
The deceased was the 12-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Il.
McCahill, formerly we'll known
and highly esteemed residents of
this vicinity, but for the past
seven years residing at Recdley.
Her illness, a kidney affection,
had extended over a period of
nine days, and her demise came
as a shock and sad blow to the
family. Mrs. McCahill is a daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. j. Fike, of
this city, and besides these and
other relatives here, the deceased
leaves her parents, three broth
ers and two sisters to mourn her
untimely passing into that undis-
covered country, from whose
bourn no traveller returns.

INSISTS THAT ROAD
ALONG BACK CREEK
Be NOT OBSTRUCTED

Two or three questions which have
been hanging fire before The Board
OF County Commissioners for the last
few weeks, were again brought up for
consideration at Tuesdays meeting of
that body.
One of these related to the ques-
ton of the county highway through
Eastport, leading to the site OF the
old bridge across Back creek The
Board is in receipt of a letter from
James NJ. Munroe, in which attention
is again directed to this thorough
fare as far as its right of way for
traffic is concerned.
Mr. Munroe's letter was written in
behalf OF several clients. In it, he
states, among other things, that an
oyster house has only recently been
erected across the highway, thereby
obstructing it to the extent that, per-
sons have to pass through the oyster
house in order to get from one side
of the road to the other The Board
referred the matter to Counsellor
Melvin with power TO act
