FRESH LAURELS
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Girls Defeat Their Monmouth
Sisters at Basketball,
is to 9.
CLOSE RUB FOR THE Academies
Two Exciting Contests at Armory
Hall Witnessed by Large
Audience.
CLOSE RUB FOR THE ACADEMIES

Rock Island High school won fresh
laurels at basketball last evening. the
girls team giving the Monmouth
girls team a severe trouncing. and
the boys giving the Augustana
Academies, who have been sweeping
everything before them, rub that
left them exceedingly thankful to
come off three scores ahead.
The games were played at the Arm
DRY and were witnessed by a large
crowd, which displayed the custo-
mary enthusiasm.
The girls played first, Rock Island
taking the lead from the start and
winning out, 10 to 9. Alma Holt and
Bessie Hartz made most of the telling
PLAYS for the home team and Laura
Sykes threw all the baskets for Mon
mouth Following is the lineup:

During the game Laura Sykes
tainted, but recovered and played to
the end. Miss Mabelle Campbell,
who was in the audience. also tainted
and was taken home.
BOys' Game Exciting.
The young mems game was most
exciting from the start, the teams
playing very evenly. That the high
school lost is probably due to the
fact that they played too eagerly and
consequently made more fouls than
their opponents. They took the lead
at the Start and the first half ended z
to in their favor.
In the second half, however, the
Academies steadily gained on fouls and
near the end threw basket from the
field. The score was Is to 10. The
teams lined up as follows:

ENGINE SPARKS FIRED BRIDGE.
Lee Street Bridge Had a Close Call
Yesterday.

The Lee street bridge over the Sea
board tracks here in the city came very
near being destroyed by fire at 8
O'Clock yesterday morning, and this
calamity was only averted by prompt
work of the fire department.
As it was, a big hole was burned,
three or four feet across.
Shortly after midnight a freight
train stalled in the deep cut near the
bridge, and 1t is possible that sparks
dred the structure.
The departm ent was notified of the
occurrence, and going out Lee street
promptly extinguished the blaze, A
few planks and tlmbers will repair the
damage, and the loss was reported as
very slight.
This is the first fire alarm the de-
partment has responded to in several
weeks.

COTTON HANDLED IN AMERICUs.
Receipts at Warehouses to Gate Are
10000 Bales.

Americas cotton receipts during the
week just ended have been satisfactory,
aggregating 2,4l6 bales. Yesterdays
receipts were 662 bales, while since
Septem Der 1st. the warehouses here
have handled 1926 bales. This is
considerably behind receipts at this
date last season, perhaps 5000 or 5000
bales, the shortage being attributed to
the lateness of the crop this year.
With press receipts and warehouse re-
ceipts added, Americus has received to
date probably 80. 900 bales cotton.

Give A Kind Word.

Don't kick If somebody is
prospering or getting along a little
better than you, let him prosper,
Don't grunt and grumble; don't
kick. Say good word for him,
look pleased, and let it go at that,
If you see your town is getting
along nicely, feel good about it.
Help things along Shove little,
and try to get some of the benefit
yourself. Don't stand around like
bump on a log and waste your
time feeling sore because some
other person has had the sand to
forge ahead and prosper. Do a
little hustling yourself, but don't
kick. If you are sore, and disposed
to say something mean, keep your
mouth shut. Don't kick. No man
ever raised himself up permanently
by kicking some one else down.
We are helped when we help our
brother. Be ready to give kind
word; give it literally; it won't cost
you cent, and you may want one
yourself some day. If you want to
throw something at somebody, let
it be roses, bouquets or cologne,
Don't throw mud, don't kick. How
ever, if you must kick, lead your
self around in the back yard and
take good kick at yourself.

Stock-rais:ng In This Vicinity.

Not only does the country in the
vicinity of Crested Butte possess
countless charms for the resident
and the tourist, but the value of
the outlying lands for grazing pur-
poses is a natural resource the real
worth of which has never been
fully estimated. 1t can truthfully
be said that there is no scope of
country in Colorado of equal area,
that can offer such advantages for
summer ranging for stock as can
this locality. The grasses are
abundant and never failing in
growth, and their sucoulent quail
ties are apparent in the sleek con-
.dition of the stock ranged here.
AS applied to this immediate sec
ton, the possibilities of stock
raising are practically unknown.
The industry is confined at present
to the few small ranchers, but it is
their chief source of livelihood, and
if it is successful on small basis,
it would certainly be on larger
scale, when we consider the almost
unlimited extent of unappropriated
land hereabouts. Thousands of
sheep are brought in every sum-
mer from the lower valleys and
pastured on contiguous mesas,
where no cattle are kept. The
lower and more open ranges fur.
nish sustenance for numerous local
herds of cattle and horses, while
stockmen from the San Luis val
ley have for years taken advantage
of the rich pasturage afforded by
this portion of the county. People
residing here are just awakening
to the fact that they are living in
the midst of a fertile land, the
possibilities Of which promise much
for anyone who engages in the
agricultural and stock-raising in
dustry.

The Municipal Election.

The PILOT in this issue publish
es the official list of nominations
to be voted for at the municipal
election to be held next Tuesday.
Two tickets have been placed in
the field, and each presents for the
consideration of the voters a list
of strong and capable nominees.
Without exception, the candidates
are all friends and patrons of this
establishment, and, considering this
relation in connection with our
belief that local politics is rather
to be considered from a social
standpoint than from a political
view, the PILOT does not feel con-
strained to exercise any influence
it may possess, for or against any
particular candidate or candidates.
Let every voter cast his ballot as
his conscience may dictate, and it
may be confidently expected tAat
the result-whatever it may be-
will be satisfactory to everybody
except few pessimists.
