NEW ELECTION LAW REQUIRES
THREE SEPARATE BALLOTS

Although the intention of the law
passed by the last legislature was
supposedly to cheaper election costs
by combining school, city and port
elections, using the same polls and
the same ballots, it won't work out
that way December 8 in Whatcom
County.
Prosecuting Attorney Baldrey has
ruled that separate ballots-one for
city elections, one for school cleo
tions and one for port elections, will
be used. In Lynden, those who would
vote at the city election must reg
lister. Registration is not necessary
for the school election. The school
and city election will be held Dec.
with polls at the high school and
city hail.

SEASON ENDS
IN BAD SQUABBLE
Ferndale Player Protested, and Win.
ming Team May Be Put Back to
Fourth Place

At a meeting of the board of di
rectors of the Nooksack Valley Base
Ball League at Everson, Sunday ev.
ening, September 25th, several vic.
tories belonging to Ferndale were or.
dered forfeited to the various teams
of the league, on the grounds that
Roy Mohrman was an ineligible play
er. 1t was argued by some of the
managers present that Roy Mohrman
was a resident of Snohomish county.
The result Of this action places
Ferndale in fourth place instead of
first, unless the action is reconsidered
at meeting of directors this week.
The following article was taken
from the Ferndale Record Of Sep
tember 3Oth:
THAT part of Ferndale which takes
an interest in the baseball club this
week is indignant over the action of
the Nooksack Valley League in throw
ing out several games in which the
use of Roy Mohrmann was protested.
The action of the directors came out
of clear sky at meeting held Sun
day night at Everson, following the
close of the season in which the Fern
dale team emerged winner.
"A news article in the Ferndale
Record of July / is the basis for the
allegation that Ferndale violated the
league ruling that only residents of
the county should be played. MOhr-
mann. whose home has been here
for the most of his life, returned
from Sultan late in June and spent
several weeks at home. During his
stay here iie piay ed first base for
Ferndale.
"In no other league in the country
the local supporters point out, is
protest valid unless presented and
acted upon within a fixed time after
the game is played. Instead, it is de-
clared, no intimation of this protest
was given Ferndale until nearly two
months after the final game in which
Mohrmann played.
The games thrown out are suffi-
cient in number to deprive Ferndale
of the pennant. Ferndale had a final
of IA games won and S
lost, Custer having forfeited last Sun
day and Everson having been defeat
ed on the local grounds 4 to 0.
while the other teams in the cir
cult upheld the protest against the
Ferndale man at the meeting Sun
day night, Ferndale is not content
to let the matter rest until it is as
certained whether, under the rules
Of the league, belated protest can
be recognized.
"A matter of about $3.50 is in the
pot for the winner of the pennant,
i is reported. Allegations of spite
work against the Ferndale club are
heard in connection with the affair.
Several instances of trouble over
of players arose during
he playing season, but all were act
I'd upon within short time. The
action of the league, If allowed to
stand, is taken to mean the end of
lealings between Ferndale and the
owns of the league with regard to
eague baseball.

VISIT THE FISH-TRAPS COMMISSIONERS

The Tribune urges E. A. Seaborg, head of the
state fisheries department, Sam Barret, chairman
of the Whatcom County Game Commission, and
Game Warden Aitken to visit the fish-traps some
day in the season. and see the thousands of salmon
brought to the surface in the daily haul More fish
in a single day than are caught in the Nooksack by

portunity of dipping out few salmon for their
own use privilege which they have had for dec

'twere well to discover whether the

A vaccinated member desires roth

HELP HOWAT MEN

Levy of Twenty-Five Cents Per
Man Recommended.

Kansas City, Mo. Nov.-2s.-An as
sessment of rs cents per week was
recommended today by the Central
Labor union to be levied on union
workmen in this city to assist the
striking coal miners of Kansas.
The recommendation followed a
meeting held yesterday at which John
Walker, president of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor. denounced John
L. Lewis, head of the United Mine
Workers, and declared that the cause
of the rebel miners supporting
Alexander Howat, imprisoned and de-
posed leader, was a just one.
Walker charged that Lewis had lied
about Howat behind his back. IF
Lewis had not lied, the International
Mine Workers convention would have
supported Howat." he said.
Before the Illinois miners voted to
send $4,000 a month to the Kansas
miners, Lewis was asked to appear
before the convention. He was yell
low to come. He could not face the
organization, because he knew he
would have to eat a lot of things he
had said"
