Harritnan Optimistic
Washington. I>. f. I!. 11. Harritnan
is exceedingly optimistic over the
busine» conditions.
“Everything is normal and there is
no reason why we should not have
prosperity in pleanty.” he says. “The
basis of prosperity in every country is
the product of the soil, and the crops
here could hardly be better. Farmers
are contented: they have no mort
gages to pay: their fences are built and
the land is producing all they need.
Everything depends on that. 1 see no
reason for any business depression."

Bali (iame
The hall game that was scheduled
foe Saturday afternoon between the
Branch ami the Northern teams was
not played owing to the fact that the
Northern team was not complete, one
| of their best men being absent. Cap
tain Whitney and Captain Ellsworth
chose teams from the players in town
and a game of nine innings was played,
resulting in a score of seven to three
in favor of Ellsworth’s team.
Last Sunday afternoon Manager Fitz
patrick of the Branch team and Mana
ger Butts of the Northern team ar
ranged a game which was played with
great enthusiasm under the direction
of Captain Ellsworth of the Branch
and Captain Whitney of the Northern.
At the end of the seventh inning1 the
game was a tie. In the eighth inning
neither side scored. In the first half
of the ninth inning the Branch suc
ceeded in adding six to the score. A
part of this success was due to the
fact that the ball thrown to the first base
went high once and lodged in the
brush. The time required to get the
j ball gave the Branch, then at the bat,
a chance to get in some good runs and
scores. The Northern added one score
in the last inning, and the game stood
12 to 7 in favor of the Branch.
The teams did some fine playing and
the game was considered the best that
has yet been played. Some fine work
j will be done this season.

He would crois the snow bridge in the
night, abduc t the girl and after re
crossing destroy the bridge and so pre
vent pursuit. He carried the j>lan in
to effect.
One night he crossed the bridge,in
vaded the hut of his idol,seized a sleep
ing hag and departed, destroying the
bridge after hefiad crossed. Then he
opened the sleeping bag and discover
ed that he had abducted—not the girl,
hut the old man!— Glascow Herold

the high tide flowed over making a
good pond for rowing. Later they all

the disappointment of the morning.
