Gets Two Out of Three
Games In Series With
League Team

Shcrbrooke made it two out OF
three yesterday afternoon when
they staged a batting rally in the
eighth and defeate3 the Montreal
Royals bv the close score Of 8 to ,
at the Sherbrooke ball yard.
1t was a regular pitchers duel
between jenkins and Granai, with
jenkins slightly the ~teadier of the
two. The Montreal hurler sent over
nice mixture of low and fast
balls, and he certainly had the
speed. Granai was very good but
he has been seen to better advan-
tage locally. Both pitchers were
touched up for eight hits, but until
the eighth inning the locals had
been held down to four scattered
saftieS.

SPORTSMEN'S
FIELD DAY
IN THE RAIN
Field Day of Caledonia
Forest and Stream Club
at JOe's Pond

Thursday afternoon with its
continuous rain was a good day
for fishermen in the fishing season,
but a poor day for a field day, yet
nearly Is members of the Called
onia Forest and Stream club and
their families responded to the
call of the wild and the executive
committee and enjoyed their an
nual outing at Joe's pond. Every
thing except the base ball game
was carried out according to
schedule and thrc cugh the friendly
offices of Mr. and MIS-. Harvey
Dole their cottage was apened for
the postprandial exercises.
The executive 00mmittee had a
busy morning and when the clans
gathered at noon from Danville,
Lyndonville, Barnet, st. Johns
bury and way stations they found
traps all set for the shooting of
the pigeons, but what appealed to
them more Just at that time seats
and tables for the dinner with
plenty of hot coffee furnished by
the management. After a bount-
eous dinner with several hot
dishes provided by some of the
campers the storm set in for the
and the sportsmen were
only too glad to avail themselves
of the hospitable cottage of Mr..
and Mrs. Harvey Dole where the
post pandial exercises were held
on the piazza. The only inter
ruptions from the program laid out
by President c. +. Merrill were
the heavy showers and the in
promptu speech by DR.. F. ". Ma
Coon who incidentally remarked
that DR.. A. l.. Leonard's car was
on fire. This certainly started
something besides the fire but the
Lyndonvillc doctor found it was
only short circuit and little dam
age was done to his automobile.
President Merrill presided at the
talk fest and welcomed the mem
bers and their friends to the
gathering. He said that the club
had distributed about 100000 fish
in the streams and ponds of Cal
edonia county and parts of Essex

This assurance stands.
what has been accomplished

performed in full measure and of

due to the probable demands on
transportation as a result of the
settlement of the coal strikes,

experience daily, and competent
workmen continue to apply for
work and are being employed
where there are vacancies.

delivery from outside shops of To-

AMERICAN WOMEN
SAW TURK START
FIRE IN SMYRNA
(By the Associated Press)


LONDON, Sept. 15-
Two thousand christians were
massacred in Smyrna by the
Turks before they set fire to
the city which has swept the Asia
Minor seaport so recently eva
cuated by the Greeks. Among
the Turkish outrages were the
taking off of many of the girl
pupils of the American girls
school. The Greeks believe that
the fire was set by the Turks to
conceal the traces of their alleged
misdeeds. A considerable share of
the property loss, estimated at
$75,O00,0OO, fell among American
firms.
AS to the general conviction
that the fire started by the Turks
to efface the traces of their mas
sacres and other crimes, says a
semi-otficial despatch from Greek
sources, Miss Mills, the matron
of the American girls college says
she saw an officer or a non-com-
missioned officer of the Turkish
regular army enter a house car
rying several cans of petrol. Soon
after he came out of the house
the building burst in flames.
Prior to the starting of the con-
flagration the massacres were

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
ON THOMPSON SHELTER

A. ]. McNab, superintendent of the
Mason Valley Mines Company, has
rendered to the stockholders of that
company a report on the conditions
and activities of the company during
the past year. Extracts are as
follows:
Conditions in copper industry gem
orally during the past year were prob
ably the least satisfactory in its his
tory. Large stocks of metal were car
ried over from 1920 and consumption
was at such a low point during the
early part OF 1921 that stocks actually
increased i'll this period in spite OF the
fact that most producers were operat-
ing at low capacity. This condition
forced nearly all of the producers to
entirely suspend production, plants re-
naming closed during the year.
While the situation has somewhat
improved, yet, taking into account the
price OF copper, the costs of material
and labor and the market uncertainty
your Directors believe that the re-
sumption of operations is not justified
at your properties.
The reports for the years 1919 and
| 1920 have referred to the activities oil
your Company in its endeavor to get
| fair freight rates established between
Engels and Paxton. the main shipping
points in Plumas County, California
and your smelter at Thompson, the
railroad point being Wayuska. In
November the Interstate Commerce
Commission made an order in this
matter, directing the railways to pub
lish a certain schedule of rates.
Rates on $40 ore from Paxton to
Wabuska are given as $500, as com
pared with $685 rate from Paxton
to Garfield, Utah, the difference ir
favor OF Wabuska being $395 per tor
on this grade ore. with the dfferen-
tial gradually decreasing as the value
of the ore increases.
We believe that the above differen.
| tial does not fairly represent the differ
ence in the cost OF the two move
ments and the Interstate. Commerce
Commission has been asked to re.
hear the case. 1t is hoped that a
rehearing will result in rate which
will fairly reflect the service per
| formed.

Marketing Alfalfa

In community where the growing
and marketing OF alfalfa hay is 50
generally carried ON as it is i'll the
Newlands project, it would seem that
there must be ample information Tor
the question: "Do we sell alfalfa at
a loss This. however, did not seem
to be the case at the beginning OF the
1927 cropping year Such questions
were asked OF number OF success.
ful alfalfa growers last spring, but
the answer invariably was I'll be
burned il I know" There may have
been time during our period OF high
prices when net profit was almost
certain for alfalfa hay, but the time
is certainly at hand when the alfalfa
grower, who is dependent on an out
side market should know what he is
doing. If we should ask a mer-
chant what certain articles i'll his
store cost and he should give the ans
wer that the alfalfa grower did. we
would not have very good opinion
of his business ability. We would
feel justified in predicting his early
failure
