First Lutheran
Church Building
Much Improved
Building Is Remodeled and Thoroughly
Renovated by Willing
Workers.

Visitors and friends who from time
to time in the past have come to at
tend service in our church have ex-
pressed establishment that we have
been content to worship in such de-
1apidated house. Frequently we were
given advice: aYou ought to paint and
decorate your church; you should get
a new stove; raise the ceiling. Your
church needs a genuine renovation,
ETC.
Well meant suggestions like these had
effect. A committee was elected to see
what could be done. This committee
came to the conclusion that 1t would
be advisable, if possible, to sell the old
property and build new church. This
was at the time everybody was earn
ing good money. Those who were In
terviewed to donate towards the new
project responded favorably, promising
to give from SIS to 500. The committee
was encouraged, realizing that it would
be easy to raise 5000 or more in 8
short time.
But alas! As thunder-bolt from
the clear sky, spread the rumor thai

on I'VE had better wait with the

Heavy Cut In
Forest Funds
This Season
Supervisor Webb Says Cur
tailment of Expenditures
Necessary.
LESS MONEY FOR
ROADS AND TRAILS

G. S. Webb, supervisor of the Koo.
tenai national forest, returned last weel
from conference of forest officials il
Spokane and reports that appropria
tons for the local forest will be radi-
cally cut this year
We will have for forest roads and
trails about As per cent Of the amount
we had last year. said Mr.. Webb. I'm
1919 this forest expended about $5s,-
600 IN trail construction and in 1880
81 about $4,000 This year we will have
from $4,000 to $4,000 for roads and
trails.
Last year we spent about $4,000
for fire control improvement" con-
tinued Mr.. Webb. THAT was for the
building and improving of lookout
towers and stations, ranger stations and
similar work This year we will
have about $4,000 for that purpose.
Last year we expended $4,000 for
wages and subsistence of fire control
guards. This year that fund Is cut 10
per cent leaving about $4,000.
This cut all along the line means
that we will have to employ fewer men
and for shorter time during the seq
son It will make necessary the start
ing of the work later in the spring and
the concentration Of employment dur
ing the fire danger period
The heavy cut IN local road and trail
funds is due to the fact that the
local forest program in that respect
is nearing completion while in other
forests it is not 20 far along Therefore,
it was logical to cut this forest the
heaviest It only means postponement
of thu completion Of our pf1sram. but |
the bad feature is that it lessons en-
ploymcnt at q time when 1t II needed. |
There is possibility that we may
obtain about $4,000 for insect con-
troll" said Mr.. Webb, although it is
too early to state definitely. A request
has been filed with congress for such
an appropriation but no one knows
whether we will get it or not. That
sum would about finish the insect
control work here"

 O'Doul had an unusually slew start, even though he seldom is a spring hitter" At one time he was at the very bottom of the Brooklyn Clubs regulars in bat ting, but even then he made the remark that he was bound to get started and that when he did they had better clear the track. Down the stretch, old man ODoul's boy certainly hit up a terrific pace. There is no more experienced baseman in baseball nor a more dangerous one than Lefty when he feels his hits.

The Philadelphia Athletics snow- ed no disposition to use halfway measures in removing themselves this year from the pennant pie ture and the world series scram- ble.
 Not only did the club that fin- ished something like 1872 games in front last year skid so far as to wind up about dozen games behind the Yankees this season, but Lefty Grove conceded the years s pitching lnonors to younger rivals and Al Simmons, the celebrated Polish slugger, yielded the batting crown he has worn for two straight years.
 True. Jimmy Foxx moved up around the top of the batting list and won the home run honors by a wide margin with the best per- formance of his career, but other wise the Mack aces did not dis tinguish themselves.

Garden Lays Heavy Plans -Baer and Primo List
 ed for November

NEW YORK, OcU. 6.-The heavy weight division of the fight game has turned the corner" if the plans mapped out for Max Schmel- ing and the remainder of the con- tenders for Jack Sharkey's cham pionship actually are carried out.
 Riding the wave of enthusiasism that followed Schmeling's sensa- tional eight round technical knock out of Mickey Walker, Madison Square Garden laid out a program that will send the former heavy weight title holder into battle twice before next summer, when Max, if his success continues, will face Sharkey for the. championship for the third time.
 The Garden wants to pair Max Baer, lanky California better who scored a technical knockout over Tuffy Griffiths in Chicago, against Primo Camera, in an outdoor bout in November.
 Schmeling wlIf meet the winner of this bout here in June, after winter warm-up against young Bill Stribing in Miami in Fe5ru- ary.
 A check showed that gross re- ceipts of the Walker-Schmeling bout were $177,340.80 and net pro- ceeds after deduction of taxes, $14a,10785.
 Of the latter amount, Schmeling under his contract calling for 371s per# cent, would receive $55,5 but his wages, attached by Primo Cameras breach of contract suit are claimed in court papers to be 10 per cent higher.
 Walker received flat 17ia per cent of the net proceeds or $25,- 918.

No pitcher who wins 25 games or more, as Grove did, can be considered through" even though ten defeats show on his record. This is short of the great south paws 1881 record of 31 victories against only four defeats, but the As chances of making it four pen nants in row would have been bright, indeed, if George Earn shaw, Rube Walberg and Roy Me haffey had shown the same effec- tiveness as Robert Moses Grove.
 Somewhere the As lost quite a bit of the championship fire that burned so brightly for them during the 1919-3O-31 campaigns
 Earnshaw acted as though he was still breeding this season over the hard-luck failure he sustained at the hands of the Cardinals.
