TELLS ABOUT THE BALL GAME
HERE SUNDAY AND WANTS
TO COME AGAIN. THINKS
DRYDEN STEM-WINDER.
Leavenworth, Wash,
Aug. Sth, 1920.

Aug. Sth, 1920.
Dear Ma
! dropped down to the city from
over Blewitt way to see a game of
ball this afternoon. There was two
teams playin'. One called the Sox
and the other bunch from Dryden.
don't think them fellers is the real
SoX tho cause didn't see Red Faber
nor none of them fellers you read
about. ! never was to Dryden but
from the way them guys could chew
the rag she must be a regular stem
winder. 1t weren't much of a game,
the score was only II to | in favor of
the SoX. | kinder fell in with one of
them saw-mill guys what seemed 20
know these here Sox and guess |
didn't make no mistake, cause there
the best team anyway. ! know you
like baseball Ma so I'll tell you about
a few of the players. There was a
little short guy ketchin' for the Sox
what the boys called Bill. Gee he
took an awful tumble over some
boards. had to laff Ma but / felt
sorry for him just the same. He
sure can ketch them fowls tho. Then
there was big tall slim guy played
furst base. l think he must be one
of them professionals from M York
cause he shure didn't come from no
small town like this. Once / kinder
thot there was goin' to be a big row
One guy knocked a Three Bagger but
the other fellers said it was a fowl
ball and the ump changed his mind
and said so too. 1t was awful hot
and | guess some of them players
woulda likt to change there shurts
too. Well so long Ma I'm comm in
next time these here Sox plays.
As Always.

THE CHAITAUOJrA.

The Leavenworth chautauqua clos
ed last Friday night and was in every
way success. The local committee
has small balance with which to be-
gin next year, and large number of
representative citizens signed the
guaranty for the 1921 course. The
balance, we are informed, is expect
ed to be in the eighborhood of fifty
dollars when all expenses are paid.
The different entertainments were
all good; but some please one and
some of them others-we cannot all
have the same interest in each, nor
should be expect to be "delighted
with everything. On the whole there
was no reason for complaint and but
little was heard.

FOREST FIRE ON
|CIClt RIDGE EXTENSIVE
TUESDAY
CAUSED BY LIGHTNING LAST
THURSDAY AFTERNOON: RED
HOT STONES CAUSE 1T TO
SPREAD.

The thunder storm of last Thurs
day afternoon resulted in a forest fire
being started on the lcicle Ridge,
about for miles southwest of town
and in spite of all the efforts of the
forest service it has spread until at
this writing (Tuesday) it covers a
triangular tract having as its base
the lcicle river, beginning at point
near the end of the old road, this
side of the swinging bridge and eX-
tending about two and a half miles
up stream, and its apex at the top of
the ridge a mile from the river. Up
to Tuesday the men employed in
fighting the fire had succeeded in
keeping it from extending over and
down the north side of the ridge; but
it had gained such headway on the
southerly slope before the men were
gotten on the job that red hot rocks
had begun to roll down the mile slope
to the river, and nothing but the
"aNNi PitNSlbti lilt ire llOlH SDltdu-
ing further in that direction. The
men can not, of course, do anything
in the face of an avalanche of rock,
even if they were "cool as cucum-
hers"
At this writing there was no fear
of the fire causing damage to other
than the forest, but should there be
high wind and spread the fire north
ward up the Wenatchee river, great
damage might be the result. We are
not familiar enough with the condi-
tions in that direction to judge of the
possibilities.
The fire AZ miles north of town was
gotten under control last Saturday
and all but three or four men taken
off and paid off.

IF YOU CAN TALK. GET BUSY.

As the season for bird hunting ap-
proaches the number of reports of
shooting game out of season authori-
made to the county game authori-
ties increases and yet it is very evi-
dent that there is not as much poach-
ing going on as has been in the past
and it is confined to a few contempt
ible game hogs who have no respect
for the laws or their friends.
We learn that the game warden
has been very busy so far this year
in his annual effort to talse spawn and
replant the fry in our streams to
keep the fishing up to the standard Of
the past and this work has handicap
ped him to a great extent in patrol
ling the streams, yet he and his dep
uties have been able to make several
arrests and secure convictions in the
following cases:
Jas. Barnes was fined $500 and
$3.50 costs for catching over the linn
and $3.50 costs for catching under
sized fish. Thos. Patterson was fincd
$25.00 and $3.50 costs for catching
over the limit and for the same of
fense Jos. Stutzel paid fine of 800
and $500 costs. Henry J. Ordne
overlooked the fact that he must have
license to fish and for his careless
ness paid a fine of $1,000 and $3.50
costs. These figures are given us by
the Game Warden.
In all these cases it was evident
that the intention was not to break
the law but was due to carelessness
and fanatic desire to fish, fish and
more fish. God knows what might
happen to man found in the field
with gun and grouse or pheasant in
his possession but the limit in fines
and jail would not be too much.
1t takes time and money and lots
of both to keep our streams stocked.
1t takes the support of every real
sportsman to secure protection
necessary to make good fishing and
hunting for all of us and while all
sportsmen are regretting the fact
that poaching is going on and the
game laws are being defed, there
seems to be general apathy to do
ing anything and when they know
evidence that would convict they arc
too unselfish to protect their own in
terests by securing the conviction cf
one whom they consider friend
when they know that he has just been
robbing them by taking game out of
season or in an otherwise unlawful
manner. Keep talking game among
yourselves. Tell the fellow who YOU
know is poaching that he is unfair 70
you and the rest of US, talk him out
of it if you can and then, if he still
persists in robbing you, report him
and prepare to stand back of your re-
port. In nine cases out of ten YOU
can make him feel so cheap that he
will quit and he then becomes the
most loyal supporter of the game
laws that we have. All these fel-
lows need is to become civilized and
you will but help educate them to
help protect the game Talk them out
of it; make it so unpopular for a man
to get game out of season that he
will stop. Everything you do or say
to make poaching unpopular helps
protect the game.

bellyaching.
