coinage of silver very little ground

81 see by Mr.. Bryan 5 published
letter TO MIR. Belmont that he
quotes what Mr.. Mckinley said in
1891 and what Mr.. Mr.. Carlisle
said in 1871. Conditions were en-
tirely different in those years. The
great increase in the production Of
gold throughout the world had not
then commenced. There had been
tendency for the annual produc
ton to fall off, rather than increase,
and the situation was such as to
lead many careful thinkers to adj
vocate return to the free coinage
Of both metals. The situation is
now entirely different, and what
was said then can have no applica
ton present to conditions.

The reservation farmers are just

loo per cent more than that plant
ed last year. The work of subduing
the sod has progressed from the

has brought the crop up to one Of

The farmer as we'll as the residents

Vineiand Management.

Prof. A. b. Leckenby, all expert OF
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture; visited Vineland the other
day. Prof Reckenby had four years
experience as chief advisor aud irri-
CATION expert to the great Kern
County Land company Of California,
: and has spent many years III study
of colony work on irrigated lands.
1t is therefore Of great interest TO
know that he endorses the methods
of the management as being the
best he has seen in vogue in
any similar enterprise, and worthy
of emulation by managers of other
companies. The policy of the Vine
land company is to encourage and
assist the thrifty settler i'll all proper
ways; not with money, but with easy
payments for the lands, furnishing
employment for surplus labor, and
especially in giving each settler the
benefit of years of study and exper-
fence in irrigation farming and home
building, while never interfering
with man independeneein thought
and action. Careful restrictions in
the contracts and deeds mutually pro-
tect all of the settlers, as well as the
company, and are found to work well
in practice.

The washout on the Potlatch for
the second time leads to the con-
sideration of down river routes for
a railroad. The heavy traffic of
the Clearwater basin, it is now
manifest, can never be accomplished
by a railroad or railroads that
climb mountains by the tortuous
courses of waterways. A railroad
Oh the natural gradient routes from
this empire would be reliable, and
it could be maintained without ex-
pense. The twenty mile section
of road from the mouth of Potlatch
to the head of Bear creek has been
a perpetual source of business in
terruption and expense from the
first day of its operation. A road
along the Snake river for the same
distance would cost less for con-
struction than the Potlatch division
has in construction aud operation to

reliable. An unreliable road is

The Bitter Root timber reserve
will retard the development of the
new mining camps on the Clear

terially if the boundaries are not
changed. 1t is now decided that
no townsite can be established on
government timber reserve, and
that Superintendent Clendening
will institute ejectment suits
against all merchants and others
who establish business houses on
the reservation. Unless the boun-
daries of this great reservation can
be changed the mining interests of
this district and. indirectly, al.
other interests will suffer. All
business men of this district inter-
ested should unite in an effort to
have these boundaries changed.

A TW0-TIME WINNER,
BrattlebOrO High School Wins From
Hinsdale and Bellows Falls

BY Scores of 1910 and II-o--MeIIen
Made 05-Yard Run In Saturdays
GRme--Busby OF Bellows Falls Scored
from the KIck-oR In Mondays Hard
Fought Contest.
The Brattleboro High school football
team won its second game from Hinsdale
High school on the island grounds last
Saturday afternoon, defeating the New
Hampshire boys 100. The home team
played faster game throughout than the
visitors, and won by the superior work of
the backs in end plays and the strong
playing work of the line men. "Bobby"
Blanchard, who weighs over 400 pounds
and is the heaviest foot ball player in
America, was Hinsdale's centre rush.
Blanchard is practically termed "the pre-
mler chrysanthemum of the gridiron."
Houghton kicked off to Dawson on
Hinsdale's 10 yard line. The latter was
downed after a few yards gain and
Jetfords was twice sent around the END,
each time securing about three yards
The Brattleboro boys then braced and
held for downs, securing the ball on the
visitors 80 yard line. Conland was twice
sent through the line for good gains but
on the next play the ball was fumbled,
though it was saved to Brattleboro,
Osgood falling on it. Whitman and Mon
roe then made six yards apiece, bringing
the ball within yard of the goal line, and
Conland was ser through for the first
touchdown. J-foe f lied to X y
goal. Allen n i d the seco, ,,xJh
and ran three var s,before bein. Yned.
Monroe gained fiv, yards on an play
but tumble on the next lineup Nc
Cormick chance to secure the pail for
Hinsdale. By short rushes through Brat
tleboro's right guard and tackle Hinsdale
advanced the ball to within 10 yards Of
the home teams goal and probably
would have scored had not time been call
ed.
In the second half Monroe was downed
almost in his tracks on the kickoff and
after few Intellectual attempts TO gain by
the Brattleboro backs the ball went to
Hinsdale. The visitors could not gain,
| however, and the ball was soon in Brat
tleboro's possession again. After six
yards each by Monroe and Whitman,
Mellen took the ball around left end, shak-
off two men who attempted to tackle him
and making a run of 65 yards for a touch
down. Conland fumbed the next kickoff,
but Allen fell on the ball. From this
point to the end of the game Brattleboro
played fast ball and gained steadily from
her 10 yard line to within 20 yards of
Hinsdale's goal, most of this distance be-
ing made by Monroe's and Whitman s
end plays.
For Brattleboro Whitman and Monroe
played well both on the offensive and de-
fensive and Conland made good gains
through the line. Osgoods passing was
accurate and he did not tumble once
throughout the game. H. Jeffords did the
best work for Hinsdale, although Brooks
and Dawson did their share of ground
gaining.

Little Light on south African situation

Little light was thrown on the actual
situation by the news at hand yesterday.
The magnitude of Mondays fight, however,
is more than ever evident. Virtually three
actions were raging simultaneously, but it
is obvious that the action to roll back the
Orange Free State troops was not achieved.
Gen. Jan Fl. NJ. Kock, who was second in
command of the Transvaal forces, and who
was wounded in the battle of Elandslaagte,
died in the hospital at Ladysmith Monday
night.
The real question now for the British
public is, can Gen. White hold out another
ten days or two weeks until the army
corps arrives? Less anxiety would be felt
on his account were it not that every day
seems to bring fresh list of casualties,
proving that much has been concealed as
to the real state of affairs. At the best the
coming week must prove an anxious time.
Nothing was known in London Of the
the report published in New York of a big
British victory yesterday at Ladysmith.
