Motor Park and.Resort .

Dr. Wrinch is fathering a move
to establish on the church pro:
perty at Mission Point a summer
resort.and auto camp. _ He is the
local agent for that property _and
he took the matter up with Rev.
T. Ferrier with the résult that
permission was given to tise some
twenty ‘acres for that purpose.
The land to be used is east of the
bridge and west of Mission creek
and along the river front. The
probability i is that a small syndi-
cate of Hazelton. mien will be or-
ganized to handle the property,
‘The grounds .are nicely located
‘and possess natural: conveniences,
and beauty : ‘which should make
them attractive to summer - resi-|
dents ‘and tourists.

“Base Ball Season ‘Opened

“The opening ball game of. the
season was played: on. the Hazel«
ton’ athletic grounds last Satur-
day afternoon between the Haz
elton whites and the Glen Vowell
Indians, ° It was & snappy game
all through and one of the most
interesting from a spectator’s
standpoint ever played on those
new grotinds. The whites won
bya score of 12 to. 10, but the
Indians believe that it was due
to a bum decision of Umpite C..

says the decision. was: fair, ‘He
will be pretty.careful in future
because the Indians have learned
the art of razzing the Ump. and
Bud wants to keep his'sealp even
though there i is no hair on it and
few natives would care to wear
it-ag an ornament, . There will be
