TWO CENTS
BAKER BACK.
Attorney Geo c. Baker has Re-
turned From the West.

He Sees Nothing any Where as Good as
II Is in This Section-Morgantow
Leads the Procession Tremendous
Depression in the West-Four Hun
dred Houses Moved out of One Town
Morgantown Can Benefit by Their
Experience.
Attorney George G. Baker is back
from California where he went about
"a month ago to look after some
property belonging to the estate OF
the late DR. George B. Morris in
San Diego. The trip was most
delightful one and of course Mr..
Baker got all the interest and enjoy
ment out Of it tiat there was TO be
had in connection with it.
He is more thoroughly satisfied
than ever that Morgantown and this
section of the country is the place
to live. There is nothing that he
has seen TO touch it. All the rest of
the country is suffering under an in
dustrial depression hard to under
stand In the east
From Cincinnati westward as far
the coast everything is dead Real
estate has reached the lowest ebb.
In many places houses are sold for
ten cents on the dollar OF what they
cost. In one town suburb OF San
Diego four hundred houses were
moved out Of the town In one year
and placed on farms out in the coun-
try.
There was no demand for them in
town and they could not be sold or
rented to anyone at any price. The
boom has collapsed One reason for
the great depression in the far west
is the lack of rain fall They have
had about one-ffth the normal rain
fall for three years and everything
is drying up. The farmers are par
alYzed and in consequence every
thing else suffers.
Morgantown has only the most
favorable outlook but his advice is
not to over do the thing and cause
the inevitable reaction. There is
such thing as too much even of a
good thing and we had better go a
little slow for while until the de-
mand catches up with the supply.

VOTE TO go.
Cadet Corps Vote to so TO Grafton De C.
Grafton Day-May be Reconsidered.

Grafton Day-May be Reconsidered.
The cadet corps bad the PROPOSE
ton of trip to Grafton on Decora
tion Day laid before them on Mon
day afternoon. They decided with
but eighteen dissenting votes to take
the trip. They have been invited
by the committee up there to attend
the celebration OF Decoration Day
which is expected to be the biggest
thing that has taken place there for
years.
General Joe Wheeler is expected
to be there and many other things
about the celebration make those
who want to go expect to have the
greatest time that ever happened.
Several of the cadets are sore because
they will have to leave as on that
day w. and j. is to be here to play
two games and they will be unable
to see the contests. An effort will
be made to have the vote reconsid-
cred on that account. There are
one hundred and fifty cadets.

A SECOND VICTORY.
w. u. F. again Walloped by the
w. ". u. team.

The latter Showed some improvement
over Saturday but the HOLSTERS were
as Slow as ETer-Dent Pitches Coed
Game-All the Rest Play good Ball
Pittsburg College comes Here on
next Friday hot Game Ahead
Line up Monday.
The second game with w. u. p. re-
suited as the first one did, in victory
for the home boys by very good
score. They made twelve runs while
w. U. p. was able TO make the cir
cult of the bags only twice. The
game was witnessed by a fair crowd
on whom more could have said their
way if there had been d fence around
the athletic field.
The contest was uninteresting as
far as the visitors were concerned.
They did not get into the game at all
and at no stage Of it did they look
like winners. Several rows over al
legged rotten decision delayed the
game somewhat.
Dent went in to the pitchers box
in the place Of Printz who took Dents
position in the field. Dent struck
out fifteen men which is not SO bad
for the first game Of the season before
he gets his arm limbered up. OF
course after he gets down TO it a few
more viii be boiled over in each
game.
Deming played good ball and batted
as usual. The rest Of the players did
not greatly distinguish themselves
but all played a good safe game.
They showed great improvement over
Saturdays game and will make a
rafting nine with little more prac-
tice and experience.
w. Z. P carried off the palm with
errors having nineteen of these to their
credit 1t is thought that some were
not counted owing to inability on the
part of the score keeper to keep track
Of them they came so fast.
The next game is with ?. G. on
Friday afternoon and after that Seneca
will be played on Saturday. Fridays
game will be a hot one PittSburg
College always has a first class team
and they are ia the fight this year
with both feet Those who attended
this game will see what is likely to be
the most interesting one Of the year.
Several years ago we succeeded in
winning from the Pittsburg boys at
Uniontown outa it tookthe hardest
kind of playing and it will require the
same thing to do it this time.
