A survey Of the various ware
houses in Chicago, coupled with n
nation wide survey of supplies. has
determined, according to the prose-
cutor. that. while the public is be-

ty subpoenas duces tecum are being
prepared and they will be served up
on the warehousemen of this vicinity
to bring their records before tho
grand jury September 1.

the city on these commodities

CAMEIS GIVE MINERS
BUNCH OF GOOSE EGGS

Any one who Is of the opinion that
the Camels haven't chance to win
the pennant OF the Wyoming-Idaho
league should have seen the last two
games played on the local diamond.
II the weather had only permitted
Saturdays game to have been finish
ed the pecentage column would look
a good deal differently than II does.
There is no doubt but that we could
have trimmed the visitors in Sat
urday's game and tied them for first
place in the league. AS 1t was we
evened the score In the seventh In
ming and because of the storm the
game closed with the score 4 to 4.
Sundays game was one-sided from
the start and after Framback warmed
up there ws no hope for the Miners.
It was shut out" and the Miners
were completely trimmed to the tune
of eight runs.

The Camels go to Rock Springs
tomorrow morning for their last
eames of the season with the Miners.
They are going with the determine
ton to take both games.
The remaining games Of the sea-
son will be played with Kemmerer-
three on the local diamond and three
at Kemmerer. and It IL a cinch that
the Camels will take all of them.
Rock Springs and Green River al
so have six more games and in or
der to win the pennant the Miners
must take all Of them, and its a safe
bet they can't do IT.
II the camels continue to play the
same class OF ball they have the past
month. they will be at the top of the
heap" when the season closes.
