Is A FINE SHEET.

The Uniontown Journal, a new
paper launched at Uniontown,
Wash, made it's appearance on
the Chronicles exchange table
last week. The paper is being
published by S. P. Shut, former
editor of the Chronicle. The
initial issue of the Journal is a
fine sample of a newspaper, brim
full of news and advertising and
we predict that if the merchants
of that city continue their adv
ei'tising patronage as they have
started out to do, they will soon
have a paper that will be a credit
to a town many times the size of
Uniontown. Here's wishing the
Journal and Bro. Shut success
in his new adventure.

Not since the days OF Sam Stevenson,
Carl Sheldon and H. o. Young has
there been as much interest In con-
gressional matters in this district as
is apparent at the present canvass.
Three aggressive candidates are
covering the field, each in his pecu-
lilar style II the voters are not well
informed upon the platforms Of the
different candidates II will not be be-
cause they haven't been told often e
nough.
Martin S. McDonough started the
speaking campaign several weeks ago
and has covered most Of the district.
Dr. r. d. MacNaughton has come upon
the stump and Is now engaged in
telling the people just what his plat
form IS. Both OF these candidates are
shouting to W. Frank James, the pres
ent incumbent to speak up and tell
the people through the papers and on
the stump what his platform Is. James
refuses 70 be ruffled, keeps saving
wood and when asked why he doesn't
say something replies that his record
in congress is an open book and the
people know what his platform Is
without dinning II into their ears

Negaunee beat Escanaba last Sun
day by a score of Is to 2 At every
stage OF the game Negaunee had the
Escanaba bunch beaten. This ought
TO make the game here tomorrow
more interesting as Escanaba won
from Crystal Falls two weeks ago.
Some work has been done on the
diamond so as to make II a better

field but owing to the absence of ball
for the past few years the grass en-
croached on the diamond
With the Negaunee game tomorrow
and the Escanaba game a week from
tomorrow. Crystal Falls will certain
ly see some good baseball the next
two weeks.
That the Gladstone players were all
well satisfied with the treatment that
they received here is apparent from
the following report in their paper:
Gladstone's base ball team returned
from Crystal Falls Sunday evening
hpafan nv the ccora of m . hut ra
porting the very finest treatment they
have received in any town they have
visited this season. This spirit OF
welcome and fairness was the out
standing feature OF the days expert
ences. in the minds OF the locals. Not
a good play by Gladstone went with
out its deserved applause. Crystal
Falls seemed especially eager TO show
the visitors that they were welcome.
that they would receive a square deal
and that the local fans we're not too
much welded TO their own team TO re
fuse credit, to an opposing team that
played good ball.
The locals cannot give Crystal Falls
too much praise for their splendid
treatment accorded them and although
they lost the game, they feel that y
is a pleasure TO lose to such fine
bunch OF sports as the Crystal Falls
outfit.
