Herg was to throw Huxnkos four timei In one hour, and started In to end the match ts as short a space of time as poselble, but Instead of wearing out the small er man he seemed to be In worse shape himself at the end of the match than IliiTiikos. nerg Is a big, strong fellow, ....i r,4t. but Himikos is to good a man for him to handicap to the extent of last Tuesday's match.

The total cost of the Improvement was as follows ; Clearing road f 108.00 Grading J6T5.85 Culvert 126.75 Blasting rock for road 248 30 Crushing, Hauling and rolling 1425.40 Total 3424 50 We were able tocrn -'i 101 yards of rock foi several days and averaged 90 yards for the entire settlor The grad took nineteen days and the crashing eighteen, Including the macadamizing. About bOOO yards of dirt was moved, and 1020 yards of rock used In the ma cadamizing. The road bed It 24 leet wide with 16 feet of macadam, with an average depth of ten inches, and with a crown of one inch to the foot. We find that the ranchers buy more ro' k for concrete purposes every year, as we told lust year at the Yankton Betting 4!iyards, aud this year over 100 yards. We can save them about $2.50 per yard on their rock and not loose anything. After doing a little repair work, the crudier will be moved to Goble, also the roller, to build some 2 miles of macadam road, after which we expect to be back aud set op in the City Square at Lott- ville by the brst of October. The crus her will leave Houlton August 21t. At piesent we are figuring on setting op the crusher and housing it in so that we will be able to do the repair work on the roads in the winter time, as it has been found that they are so hard in dry weather that it is impossible to make the dressing stick without using oil, which we sre not prepared to do this year, but think that it would I advis able for the district to get ready for next year. We will also be ready to furnii-li rock to private parties at any time dur ing the winter. The district hasf!032of it special fnnd to collect yet, which w ill probably come in in October, and furnish enough capital for the repairing of most of the macadam roads, in the winter time, which could be done to a great deal better advantage by uaiiig oil for rediesing purpose in the summer time. We think that thecouuty court is en titled to a great deal a( credit for buy ing a crusher and crushing their own rock, as they saved the dihtrict on the Yankton piece of road alone $ 1000.00, as KiJO yards of rock st St. Helens would cot them f 1 00 per yard, with an ad. ditional coal of $2 50 for hauling. The saving amounts to about the cost of the crusher plant, which is in fust class con dition, and good for the making of many roads yet. Besides this, we saved the farmers that bought rock enough to nay their road taxes. U. 8. Der-AiN, Supervisor R. I). No. 3.

Umpires, Wilson and Woods CLATSKANIE DEFEATS CHINOOK With Joe Haggin on the mound Ihe Clafksnie team again came through with a victory last Sunday, when they downed the Chinook aggregation by a score of 9 to 1, eight of the home teams tallies coming in the second tinning, after which the visitors put npavery pretty game of ball. The lone tally of the boys from the town with the fisby name was made in the last inning,' and so there wss no time when the Indians were in any danger o' loosing the con test. Next Sunday Clatskanie tangles with Catblamet, for the fourth time this year, this time at the Cat h lame t grounds. The boys across the river have been scalped so many times by the Indians that they are always spoiling for a chance to get a little of the good money back that is now circulating in Clatskanie, but they will have to import some husky hunch of players to take a game with a Columbia County team. TWO GAMES SUNDAY. There will be two ball games at this place Sunday, and there will be some thing doing il St. Helens gets away with them. The first will be the big event ol the teason, when the Rainier team and the locals tangle lor their third game, each team having won one. The second game will be with the Felida aggregation, and that means playing the best that can be found in Vancouver and elsewhere in Clark County.

Oregon will show from 150,000 to 200, 000 people a big exhibit of her nroducts at the land show in St. Paul December 12 to 23. Governor West has received word from the officers of the Northwestern Develop ment League that the business interests of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Doluth have agreed to a deal whereby this state will be furnished exhibit space without cost at the land show. The show to be given under the auspices of the league is the only one in the country which not a private enterprise and will be man aged in such a way ss to furnish space for official exhibits. Ata cost of ten thousand dollars the business interests ol the three Minnesota cities have booght from the league 3,500 square feet of preferred space at the show. Each of the seven states will have a space ot fifty feet long and ten feet wide'for their official exhibit. The governor has been asked to con- fer with officers of the league in this state and secure the interests of those necessary to pot in an exhibit which will be a credit to the state. Under this plan no one community or city will have an advantage over others in ths state. Any city, county or land company de siring to make an independent exhibit w ill be able to secure a limited amount of space near the state exhibit on reas onable terms, but It is the desire of the league officers for this state that the best possible exhibit be made in the name of the state as it is from such an ex hibit that results are to be obtained. The seven states which are to be thnt represented are Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North and South Dakota and Minnesota. No other states will have exhibits and Canadian exhi bits will be barred, the whole idea of the show being "an exposition by the seven states Ir the benefit ol the seven states alone." Oregon officeis ol the League are C. C. Chapman of Portland and William Hanley ol Burns. Inquiries about the Oregon exhibit should be addressed to them while information about the show and space herein should be addressed to Will A. Campbell, St. Taul, Minn.
