COMPANY / IN TWO
GAMES TOMORROW
Plays Smith Mfg. Co. and Fort Drummer
Doubling Up on AccOut of Ne
ceSsity of Going Away

On account of the Company I boys
having to go away during part of the
league season the schedule was so ar
ranged that during their absence the teams
left at home could double up. and tOmor-
row starts the doubling up process, when
Company l plays two games, taking on
the Toymakers for the first contest, finish
ing up with Fort Dummer. The Last &
Wood Heel Co. team does not play.
Should Company / win both games
they would establish a clear title to sec
ond place, A. points behind the league
leaders. Losing to S. A. Smith Mfg. Co
and winning from Fort Drummer would
give them second place and put the Toy
makers and Cottons in a tie for the
cellar position. Should they by chance
lose both games they would move down
into the cellar. position with Fort Dunn
mer second and Toymakers in third place
At any rate, Company l is out for both
games, and should they be fortunate
enough to get the breaks of last Saturday
they will probably walk away with the
bacon.
The first game between Company 1 and
the S. A. Smith Mfg. Co. starts at m.
The games promise to be full of fight from
start to finish.

CAMP NAMASCHAUG
TO PLAY SUNDAY
Game with Athletics Likely to Be Hum,
mer-VisitOrs Largely College Men
with Regulations

On Sunday afternoon the local fans
probably will see one of the best teams
of the season on the field. when the Camp
Namaschaug team which recently took
the Athletics into camp by score of s to
on the Pine Grove Spring diamond,
comes to town.
The locals claim that they had an off
day, allowing the camp. team four runs
in the first inning on loose playing, but
admit that the Namaschaug outfit has
some team and a battery such as has not
been seen here for some time, which turned
the Athletics back with only one hit
Since that game the locals have recovered
some of their hitting power, and they plan
to show some of it to the camp pitcher.
The camp team is composed mostly of
college players and the larger part of
them have made regulations as ball play
ers in the college world. The team pos
sesses the pep and fire of any college
team, which will help to liven the game
and make 1T an attraction well worth
seeing.

Jesse Hoffman had a narrow es-
cape from death on Thursday morn

out tor a team, he was crowded to

Kids Wallop Cubs

The kendrick Kids added another
victory to their long string last
Sunday when they defeated the Cen
esee Cubs in a close contest. The
scure was SO close and the quality of
baseball was so nearly the same on
both side that the outcome of the
game was in doubt up until the
seventh inning. At the end of the
first half of the seventh, Genesee
was two runs in the lead but few
wise alterations in the Kendrick
lineup brought IN five more runs
for the Kids. The consistent bat
ting of the Perryman brothers was
the outstanding feature of the game
and undoubtedly made it possible
for Kendrlck to vanquish the much
touted Genesee aggregation, to the
tune OF nine to seven.
The lineup of the two teams fol
last Sunday was as follows:
Genesee: Whltted, Casebolt, Bum
pus, Green, j. Casey, Currin, Doyle
Casey, b. Doyle, with F. Doyle
subbing.
Kendrick: E. Flaig, Chamberlain
HERES. Stanton, Perryman, Flaggin
H. Flaig, Zieman, Brown, with c

Aaron McCrery reports the cap

HIGHWAY DISTRICT
ROAD CHANGES
Bridge Across Bear Creek
To Be Changed.

The commissioners of the kend-
rick Highway District met in reg
ular session last Saturday at the
City Hall and transacted their usual
monthly business. During the ses-
sion definite action regarding re-
pairs and improvements to the Little
Bear Ridge grade was taken and
authorization for the immediate
start of the work was gwen. Our
loyal commissioners do not intend
to allow the future rampages of
Bear Creek to destroy their work
and have decided that the best So
luton of the problem presented at
the forks of Bear Creek lies in the
construction of single bridge a.
cross the East Fork.
With the above IN mind, they
have started actual work on the
building of a new bridge short
distance above the mouth of the
East Fork of Bear Creek and are
blasting a new road for several
hundred feet un the Little Bear end
of the bridge to connect the old
grade with the bridge approach.
This arrangement will free the
structure from the strain of the
double flood waters of the two
creeks and give a more certain
access to Little Bear Ridge at all
times.
The new road on American Ridge
is just about completed and is a
specimen of work which is favorable
to the operation of the Districts

lievable amount of construction can

few days of steady work. Before

more improvement which we car
chalk up to the credit of our high.

Change in Train Schedule

There is an unconfirmed rumor
atioat regarding slight change IN
the schedule affecting Hendricks
train service. If this rumor turns
out to be a fact, it will mean an
improved service and, therefore,
worthy of note.
1t is supposed that the afternoon
train from Lewiston will leave that
point at 1915 p. m. and arrive in
kendrick, as heretofore, at p. m.
The train from Spokane will pass
the Lewiston train in Kendrick at
l p. M, and arrive in Lewiston
about As minutes earlier. The Gus
tomary transfer of express and bag
gage at North Lapwai between the
Lewlston-bound train and the

ued and the SHIFT made at the Lew
iston depot. This will deduct about

TOWN THREATENED
BY GRASS FIRE
Kennedy Property Totally
DESTROYED.

Shortly after one o'clock on Tues
day afternoon, grass fire started
on the side hill just north of town
and made a clean sweep of every
thing for several blocks TO the east
behind the residences on Main
Street. Prompt action on the part
OF a large force of men confined the
blaze to the vacant lots on the hill
side but they were not able to save
the residence and barn owned by
John Kennedy and the property was
completely destroyed with all out.
buildings. At the time of this
writing, information regarding in
surance carried on the buildings
was not available but the general
supposltion was that no policies had
been issued covering the loss.
The fire started from a small
pile of refuse burning at the rear
of the Fraternal Temple and, al
though precautions were taken to
guard against the spread of the
blaze, 1t got beyond the control of
those tending it and went into the
grass-covered side hill. The grass
and weeds around the rubbish pile
were said to have been thoroughly
soaked with water before the fire
Was lighted but puff of wind was
probably responsible for carrying
of sparks across this safety strip.
AS soon as the dried vegetation on
the side hill was lgnlted, 1t burned
like powder and the fireine travel
led at Incredible speed.
Through the efficient efforts of
one of the first men on the ground,
the Light Conpany's substation was
saved and the fire kept back from
the Hamiey property. Everyone
agrees that this was all that saved
the east end of town from certain
destruction as the high wind would
have certainly carried across the in
tervening streets. Fire hose was
stretched from the hydrant near
the school house and the buildings
directly IN the path of the fire were
wet down to prevent the start of
other fires from the sparks sent up
by the Kennedy buildings. The
grass fire finally burnt itself out
for want of further fuel near the
Klein property.
In the evening. any grass which
might have escaped the general con-
hagration of the afternoon was
burned off by group of men
assembled tor the purpose. The
precaution was taken to prevent
future fires and thus give the
citizens OF the east end OF the town
chance to take forty wlnks" of
sleep without the added precaution
OF doing up the family silver in a
sack in preparation tor a quick
getaway.
1t is not at all improbable that
the next ringing OF the Presbyterian
Church bell during week days will
. send about dozen of our residents
to some sanltarlum especially equip
ped tor the treatment of heart dis
ease.
