oAKEs LOSES TO coGswELL
Locals Throw Game Away by Crazy
Base Running

A large crowd motored over to
Cogswell from this city last Sunday
to witness the ball game scheduled
to take place that afternoon between
the Oakes and Cogswell aggregations.
While considerable time was lost in
getting the game started, it was q
hummer after the two teams warmed
up to their work. Both Stadola and
Fisher, the opposing pitchers, were
stingy with hits but Fishers support
was poor and the final score showed
Oakes on the short end of to o
score. Cogswell secured three of
their runs on errors, and it is more
than likely that they wouldn't have
been able to score at all if our boys
had played air tight ball. Oakes lost
several chances to score during the
game by wild base running. Nearly
every man who succeeded in reach
ing first lost his head entirely and at
tempted to steal on the first ball
pitched. This was duck soup for the
Cogswell catcher, who picked them
off one by one, throwing several out
by such a wide margin that it looked
ridiculous. Giving the Cogswell boys
the best of the argument, the game
at most should have been 1 to 0
against Oakes.
Thursday evening the boys played
Crete and the game broke up in a
fuss, due mainly to the kicking of
Christensen, the Crete hurler. The
contest looked good when it started,
but several decisions aroused Chris
ty's ire and he called his men off the
field, with Oakes a score or two in
the lead. Christy is a good fellow,
but he can't keep his temper when he
is in charge Of a team. In order to
stop lot of noise at future games,
the locals decided to hire Christy to
play with them under Manager Rob-
erts. He is mighty man with the
bat, pitches we'll and fields nicely, so
he will be a valuable addition.
Oakes motored to Gwinner Friday
evening and had battle royal with
the boys over there, the final score
being 8 to 2 in our favor. If the To-
Gals would show as much pep in ev-
cry game as they did in this contest,
they would win oftener. Clayton
Kahl pitched the entire nine innings
and made very favorable impress
sion. With a little more experience,
this young man may be seen in the
leagues before long. He has a nice
curve ball, plenty Of speed, and is not
easily ruffled.
Next Sunday Glendale is coming
over and Monday the locals will jour-
ney over to the county seat. Guess
it would be poor if Oakes managed
to cop both games. Here's hoping.
ing every effort t6 bring success.

The senior class made a new record
with their play, "And Home Came
Ted," taking in over $275 in spite of
the handicaps that confronted them in
its presentation. The expenses were
relatively small, leaving them a good
ly sum for a class memorial. With
part of the money they have pur-
chased a fine school victrola of the
latest model, which will be formally
presented on commencement evening.
This machine is vast improvement
for school purposes over the regular
model which the school already owns.
1t will be especially useful in connec-
tion with the increased emphasis to
be given to music throughout the
school next year. A set of Harvard
classics will also be presented by the
graduates.

Oakes Population 1928

The revised figures given out by the
census enumerator places the popula7
tion Of Oakes at 1923. This number
is slightly under the one published
last week, and is authentic. The city
has shown substantial growth, and
lack Of houses is all that keeps it from
growing faster.

BONNERS FERRY LUMBER CO. HAS
COSTLY FIRE This MORNING

dredging the mill slough will be de-
layed a considerable length of time.
The fact that the wind, which was
blowing a terrific gale, was driving the
fire away from the sawmill, planning
mill and main lumber yards and on
account of the wide open space be-
tween the burning buildings and other
lumber, it was possible to control the
fire after two hours &C hard fighting
on the part OF members Of the mill
crew. Early during the fire several
fire hydrants were burned and this
resulted in lost water pressure. The
flames were so hot that it was almost
impossible to get close enough to put
water on them. The work of the
firefighters was efficient and in many
instances. courageous.
The light from the fire Illuminated
the sky so that it could be seen for
miles away. Nearly everyone in the
city was aroused by the fire whistles
and turned out to watch the flames
and to give assistance If their services
could be utilized.

FOR
BIG PICNIC

The plans of the Modern Woodmen
of America lodge of Bonners Ferry for
the big district picnic to be held on
August 28th, are proceeding even bet
ter than was anticipated and it is now
believed that fully 1000 visitors will
come here from Spokane, Coeur d
Alene Standpoint, Newport, Hillyard
Libby, Troy, Eureka and other towns
within a hundred mile radius of Bon
ners Ferry.
The plan to erect permanent build
ings on the picnic grounds-the city
park-have fallen through as the
Woodmen could not arrange a deal for
the disposal of the buildings after the
date of the picnic. A huge dancing
pavilion, refreshment stands and a
grandstand will be constructed and
work on this has already begun. The
dance pavilion will be one of the larg-
est ever built in this county and the
dancing will. continue during the af-
ternoon and evening.
The Bonners Ferry Woodmen have
been assured that the Forester team
of the Occur d Alene M. w. A. will be
here to compete with the Spokane
tedhi anu LHe DOHHSIS reITy ledlH anu
there will probably be several other
competing teams from other towns.
1t now seems assured that a spec
ial train will be run over the Spokane
International railroad to accommodate
the crowds from Spokane, Hillyard
Occur Alene, Newport, and Sand
point.
The Woodmen of Bonners Ferry
have undertaken a big job in their
plans for the picnic of August 28 and
Bonners Ferry people will undoubted-
ly gain from the money that will be
spent by the visitors and the favora-
BILE publicity the district will receive
Every effort should be made to en-
courage and assist the M. w. A. COM

SENATOR BORAH
HERE FRIDAY

Senator w. E. Borah is scheduled to
be in Bonners Ferry on Friday of this
week to deliver his address on the
league of nations. 1t is now certain
that the Rex theater will be engaged
for the meeting on account of seat
ing capacity. 1t is estimated that
several hundred people can be accom-
modated at the meeting.
The speaking will begin at $50 p.
m, Immediately after the first show
The management of the theater will
conduct the first show as usual but
it will start at 700 p. m. There will
be no admission charge for the speak
ing.
1t is certain that all those who haye
been fortunate enough in the past to
have heard Senator Borah will be on
hand Friday night. Senator Borah is
not only conceded to be one of the
leading statesmen of our country but
he has no peer as an orator and the
subject upon which he speaks is one
he believes in, heart and soul, The
opportunity of Boundary county people
to hear Senator Borah comes because
Idaho is his home state. The smaller
towns in other states will not secure
dates and after his meeting here Sena-
tor Borah will go east to begin a
speaking tour of only the largest
cities

One of the first shipments of cattle
out of Boundary county under the aus
pices of the Boundary County Farm
Bureau was made yesterday when Geo
Irving took carload of beef COWS to

Never before in the history of the
