All Set for Big Game.

lreparauons are all complete
for the big ball game at the loca1
park next Sunday between Craig.
mont and Nezperce and the whole
country from Grangeville to Mos.
COW and from the Clearwater II
the Snake is waiting for the unl.
plre to say PLAY Ball"
On these two games rests the
pennant Of the prairie league,
Taking for granted that Craig
mont and Kooskia win their other
postponed games. two victories
will tie Nezperce with Kooskia
for the leadership, an even split
Of the series will tie Craigmont
and Kooskia for the pennant, and
two wins for Craigmont will give
them undisputed possession Of the
bunting.
Craigmont has strengthened up
materially. Her already fast line
up is now bolstered up with such
stars as Mike Moran, Roy Hanley,
Boiler and Grey. Litchfield is
now with them again and Scho-
ber, the old Cottonwood star, has
played with them all season.
These with their local talent-the
two Wades. the two Kauffmans,
Fred Smith, etc.-give our rivals
a strong team.
Following is the Nezperce line
up for Sundays game:
Williams, pitcher. Deere, Ell
sea and Giesa in reserve for box
duty.
Schildknecht, catcher.
Infield: Laird. 1st base; Elsea,
End base; Andrews, short stop;
Moe, 3rd base. Giesa, Stellmon,
Deere and Moser are also avail
able for infield work.
Outfield to be selected from
Stellmon, Moser, Giesa, Iverson,
and Deere.
Two competent men from other
towns have been engaged as UNI
pires and it is hoped that clean
exhibition, better than anv before
played on the prairie, will be the
result.
Last Sunday was devoted to-
the all-stars game at Winches-
ter Lewis county winning the de-
Gliding battle. Captain Stellmon
was the only Nezperce player able
to be on hand but he made his
presence known by driving out a
home run and two triples off
Moss. the w. S. G. and Grange
Vile star.
Don't let next Sundays date
slip. 1t will be the greatest bali
game of the year.

CHANCE TO LEARN
AC00D TRADE

A. W. Adamson returned from Min
neapolis last evening where he had
been attending conference of men
who are district representatives OF
the government department of voca-
tional training for disabled soldiers.
Mr.. Adamson is the representative for
Barnes and Griggs counties. He
states that special drive will be put
on in the next thirty days to get in
touch with every ex-service man who
is entitled to this training. This train
ing. is free to any man who received
injuries during the war, and who, al
though he may not be suffering from
the results of the wounds or gas, at
the present time, may be laid up in
later years. The government is anx-
ious to get in touch with such men,
and if you are in doubt whether you
are entitled to such training, Mr..
Adamson urges that you get in touch
with him. Uncle Sam is offering
these different courses free, and urges
those that are entitled to them to take
advantage Of them at the first oppor-
tunity. Mr.. Adamson's phone number
here in the city is 1856, or if you wish
to communicate with him by mail, ad-
dress it to Valley City.

Pursuant to a call of the president
and secretary of the Valley City Fibre
Company the stock holders of said
company met at the Office Of the COM
pany last Wednesday morning and
voted to increase the stock of the COM
pany from 100000 to $25O,00O. This
is a growing concern and in order to
carry on the plan of this company it
will be necessary to enlarge its pres
ent plant. At the present. time they
are turning out more than car load
of finished flax tow each day. They
have more than 1000 tons Of flax
straw on hand and big crop in the
making. They also have many hum
dreds Of tons Of hemp on hand and
good crop coming. Their fuel machine
will soon be in operation and if the
fuel situation gets serious the people
Of Valley City will have an advantage
over some Of the othr cities Of the
state by being able to get these fine
fax briquets.

BALL TEAM LEAVES
TO PLAY CAND0

The baseball aggregation left last
evening for Casselton, where they
were to spend the night, and then pro-
ceed to Cando this morning where
they will try conclusions with that
team. They returned yesterday from
Bismarck where they had played two
games with that team. The Bismarck
team has a loyal bunch of rooters be-
hind them, according to the press of
that city, and they went out to the
last game with determined mind to
win it. However, they were badly
disappointed, as evidenced by the
score, which stood II to 5 in favor Of
Valley City. The Bismarck Tribune
speaking of the last game says in
part.
It's pretty tough to have to write
about that last Valley City game,
which the Valley team won II to 5.
The fans had the OF pep. From the
very start of the game they were be-
hind the team, roofing hard. And
they were behind the team when it
was 9 runs behind. Perhaps the faith
brought results, because lBismarck's
drove adams to cover, scoring 6
runs. . Mn
The Valley City pitcher, Adams,
was invincible until the sixth inning
when Nordland's drive started things.
After Bismarck had made six runs
the Valley team stalled for time, hop
ing coming darkness would enable
Adams to pull out of the hole, Need
ham finished up the game by striking
out three men in the ninth inning.

son. The team goes from Bismarck
to Brinsmade, where they play that
team today.
Speaking OF the first game, which
was played Tuesday evening, the Bis.
marck Tribune gives this account OF
it:
Bismarck batted out a victory over
Valley City Tuesday evening after
getting away to a bad start. The score
was 10 to 5.
The game was not, ragged, as the
score might indicate. It was well
played on both sides. Two of the er-
rors were due to the fact that the sun
bothered the players. ' 81
The Valley City team started out as
if it intended to murder "Andy" An
derson, the big right handler of Bis
marck. Aided by one error, the Val
ley bunch batted out three runs in
the first inning. -
Anderson then settled down and the
Valley bunch only got three hits in the
remainder Of the game, though they
got two runs in the second.
Bismarck began slugging in the
second, driving in three runs, and in
the third drove Dennis to cover, An
gell taking his place.
Roberts, Bismarck center fielder,
was the bright star of the game. He
made two nice catches in center field
and drove out two clean hits which
aided in the scoring.

80 ROD STRIP # BILL IS A LAW

The 30 Rod Strip Law which elimi mates the eighty rod strip heretofore reserved between homesteads and nav igatable waters was passed by the Senate on June 5 and signed by the president. 4 number of people in Sew ard are under the impression that this bill has not yet Ben passed. The man who was responsible for the passage of this bill is at the present time in Seward. He was compelled at the time of it's passage to poll the senate territories committee on the floor of ;he Senate which he successfully did at the eleventh hour and by so doing vent on record as the first congress- :nan other than Senator who had ev- CT done this. This man is the Hon. George Grigsby, Delegate from Alas ka, who is stopping at the Hotel ov- erland and we feel sure that he will answer any questions any of you may wish to ask about this law so neces- sary to-those taking homesteads in Alaska. ..

CT time and depleted the revenue in- stead of increasing it. Then there were many people who came to the office of the little newspaper and asked questions about things of local and foreicn interest and each and every. one of the things that they asked
 about had been printed on the pages of the little newspaper. But they read it not, even though the little News paper advertised the fact that copies or thc paper would be delivered by carriers to any part of the town for the sum of one dollar per month, or ten dollars per year. Thus it is and thus it will continue to be just so long as the people who live in the town fail to take any interest in the community md the things that are being done. the little Newspaper suggested to one irate subscriber who was continually complaining that he never received his newspaper that it would be good
 idea fo. him to charge those who took and read his paper so much per month or year. Another was advised to paste his copy on the window so that those VITO persisted in reading it could con- tinue to do so without it being reces- Sary to wear the paper out before he had a chance to read it. Still others who daily passed the office of the Little Newspaper were advised that it would be policy for them to stop in and get their copy in person thus as- suring themselves that they would re ceive it. ~ And thus Ehipgs .xaRt. The people in the town could all read and write and the type used by the Little Newspa- per was large and clear but they would not subscribe for it and because they did not some merchants would not advertise on it's pages and today the Little Newspaper is printed every day and while it continues to circulate it is living between the Devil and the Deep Sea simply because the majority of the people in the town and the vic in;ty don't seem to give a damn whether the town lives or dies. For the love of Mike wake up you people of the town and get together.
