Smith saved the Rock LANDS from IL more
disastrous defeat. That goal tender is
ell right and is the making of the Rock

last night and covered himself with

Curtis will work well with Campbell
after he has had little more practice,
but the same old fault of placing the
ball and then shooting ar the cage after
a careful aim still clings to him. This
trick is all right in polo as it was played
here the first of the season, but in the
present fast game it Is foolishl thing
for any man to attempt. Curtis will be
a valuable man for Portland if he can
only rid himself of this fault.

THE RITCHIE INSTITUTE.
Some References Cleaned from the
News Report,

News Report,
Some members ofsthe Experiment
Station staff accompanied by DR..
Hartigan and Prof Atkeson held an
institute at Pennsbor last week. We
append some paragraphs taken from
the report of the Pennsboro News:
"Some Mistakes We Farmers
Make was handsomely handled by
Prof. T. c. Atkeson, OF the Expert
ment Station, a practical farmer and
a witty speaker He outlined at
least dozen mistakes apparent in
common life and no man listened to
him without learning something of
value.
The event Of the session, however,
was the lecture of DR.. Hartigan. He
gave scientific and analytical ex-
planatlon of the origin and develop
ment of plant life, an elementary
lesson we might say in agricultural
botany. While purely technical and
scientific, DIR. Hartigan accompanied
all his expressions with such expla-
nations administrations that he was
easily understood, and such words
as protoplasm, bioplasm, etc, were
as readily comprehended as any
common term. We have never known
scientific lecturer to be given as
close attention as Dr. Hartigan re-
ceived or to meet withaas much pop
ular appreciation and complimenta-
ry mention.
Prof. Atkeson filled in two extra
breathing spells during this session
by practical addresses upon "Educa-
ton" and Organization, as applied
to those interested in farming. Only
those who heard him can appreciate
him; intensely practical and yet
keenly entertaining, his remarks
were always welcome, and Of con
vincing style that set folks to think

This report would be incomplete
without the proper mention Of the
different efforts OF Prot. j. H. Stew
art, the genial director of the Exper-
iment Station at the University. A
practical West Virginia farmer him
self, profound student and thor
oughly scientific, Mr. Stewart was
prepared to furnish valuable infor-
nation upon many topics and in re-
Spouse to frequent questions gave
the Institute one of its most profita-
Bile features. Mr.. Stewart made
many friends among our people and
invited all who feel interested in the
work of the Experiment Station to
send their addresses to him and
receive the Stations bulletins which
contain much information of value
to farmers.
Mr.. G. I'll. A. Kunst, one of the
microscopes of the Station, had
charge of a very interesting feature.
Under powerful glasses several thou
sand specimens, magnified to i'm
mense proportions, were shown. A
drop of water magnified 1000 times,
revealed bacteria as lively as Yam
kee navy and looking as big as tur-
ties, when in realty five millions of
them could occupy cubic inch. A
drop of milk from j. B. McMullen's

Mr.. Kunst made some startling rev.

from the judge to his nephew in Salt
Lake, w. II. Bramel.
The rest is soon told. When arrested
at Salt Lake he put on a brave air and
almost bluffed Chief Pratt by his pro-
tests, using his great trick of showing a
local item in the Laramie Republican
of last Monday showing that he had
been entertained by Judge Bramel. He
professed great establishment at being
ent and gay and made out the following
special bill of fare to be furnished:
Six mince pies, two dozen cakes, two
boxes mustard sardines, one pound
soda crackers, one dozen bananas. two
packages Dukes Mixture Csmoking to-
bacco), a pipe and two candles. Owing
to his low rating in Bradstreet and hav-
ing no cash the Salt Lake police re-
spectfully declined.
Schuckers said today he had no plea
to make except that of guilty and would
be willing to appear before Judge
'Bramel, who will probably sentence
him If he pleads guilty without trial.
The last act of the chapter will be his
consignment to the pen, while a heart
broken grandfather lives out his days
feeling the disgrace of his heir and
ward.
