leuin being far ulieuxl of the other at
any tinio. v
The rclicnn-Tcnnu.nl gumo fulled
to muloriiillze through a misunder
standing ns lo where the gume was
to be played. A car of Pelican
players left Pillinn City for Ten
nant, and a car of Teunnnt players
left for Pelican City ut about the
same time.
Pelican City then received word
from Tennant that the team hud
started, und (icorge Diestlehorst
started down the road at a reckless
pace In Ills puddle Jumper, deter
mined to catch Ihu Pelican men be
fore they were far on their road.

It. K, Knowles. charged with speed

In the meantime, thu Pelican men
went on to Tennant. missing 'one
car of Tennant players, but meet

went back with them. As a runult,
half tho Pelican team was In Ten

was played. - - ......
George Diestlehorst declares that

Old Paul Bunyan Could Have
Given W. Tell a Few Points
At Inst the profound secret of
Mystery Hock at Bear Wallow has
come lo light. For ages many
theories have been advanced as to
how tin: gigantic rock found Us rest
ing place In thut historic and beau
tiful little meadow. It has been
absolutely proven and authentic
records verify the fact that Paul
iluuyan becatno peeved at Sport, his
reversible dog, and hurled this stone
at the fleeing animal. His sights
were a bit too high, however, and
the rock cleared the ridge, lodging
at Bear Wallow. The proof is ample
the rock is still there anyone
doubting can verify the fact by visit
ing Bear Wallow himself.
Paul Bunyan also deserves credit
for originating the idea of land log

Sprague River Giants to Play
Lumberlogue Tbssers Sunday at
Langell Valley's Celebration
"Boss" Kfchurdson, one of the
best bucking horse riders In the
Northwest, will don the baseball
spangles and do his stuff at Langell
Valley next Sunday when The Lum
berlogue baseball team takes its ex
pected trimming at the bands of the
Sprague River Giants.
The Sprague Klver lineup as re
ceived today shows the famous rider
as the right fielder for the timber
workers. The ball game is creating
a lot of interest among the timber
beasts and ought to draw a bunch of
fellows from the mills and camps.
But the baseball game is but one
feature of tho big. barbecue and
celebration which Langell Valley is
staging to commemorate the open
ing of a new Irrigation canal which
will carry water to an additional 10,
000 acres of fertile land in that sec
tion. Ewauna Mill
Has Trouble
With Nigger
Prompt Action of Les
lie Nighton Noted
After Accident
The piu on ono of the controlling
arms of the nigger in tho Ewauna
mill broke last Friday, allowing the
nigger to lurch forward and break
the steam pipes leading to It from
the boiler room. Tho steam quick
ly filled the rower part of tho mill,
and came boiling out of the doors
before the valve could be closed. A
half-day shut down was required
to repair tho damage. While the
pipes were being repaired and the
nigger put back in place a new
piston nnd cylinder head we're put
in the main cylinder.
Leslie Nighton, cleanup man on
the ground floor of the mill, was
conspicuous for his prompt action
following the accident. When the
steam began spurting, Nighton left
the mill wjickly. Outside the door
ho stumbled and fell. Ho retained
his presence of mind, however, and
did not attempt to rise, but rounded
the corner of the power house on
all fours and crawled into a barrel.
Bystanders declare that ho Is a
natural pacer, and that his form Is
far superior to Hint of the famous
rating horse, Dun Patch.

ging was the only method known to
woodcraft art In transporting logs.
But soon Paul conceived the Idea of
land logging as a faster method.
Organizing his lumberjacks, he
noon had experts using' pike poles
to snake logs over even the rough
cstcountry. Even this did not sat
isfy the great Paul, whose master
mind had already solved out many
seemingly impossible problems. His
next step was to devise a way to
speedily move full length timber. So
he constructed a giant bow, and shot
the full length logs from Chiloqnfn
into the lake with absolute accuracy.
His greatest record was a bull's eye
hit at seventeen mlles.-r-Now you
tell one. Submitted by Julius Muel
ler, of the Baldwin Hardware company.
There will lie speaking, a wrest

and other events.
The Langell folks have extended
an Invitation to all persons in the
county to help celebrate the big
event. Everything's free and it
ought to be a great day.

When the adobe framework Is

to the building,. either with a atom

thod employed by Chinese laundry

is thought that the color of the
stucco will be a delicate pink, but
it has not been definitely settled as
yet. ..." . '
Jackson did not know any other
method for the application of stucco
but the atomizer way, but recently,
in inspecting various stucco Jobs,
he noticed bridgewrk and a tooth
or two imbedded in the stucco, so
he has practically decided to use the
Chinese method. He may employ
some promising pugilist to strike
him in the pit of the stomach after
taking a mouthful of cement in or-,

force. . ' ' -.' ' '
