FOOTBALL MEN AT WORK
GETTING INTO PLAYING FORM

When the meeting of the captains and
managers of the football teams takes
place on Monday evening, there viii he
framed schedule and rules for the
season which it is expected will be one
OF the best that has been known here
for many years. The teams which
will be entered are three in number and
these comprise the Punahous, the Ho-
nolulu Athletic Club and the Male Iii
mas
The present plans for the season are
that there be six games, which VIII
mean that each team will meet each
of its opponents twice The result will
be determined by the percentages of
the teams This would mean that the
season would be a short one, but that
the teams would have plenty of time to
get into shape as some of the men who
will play favor the putting off of the
final games until the holidays, instead
of having them about the Thanksgiving
season.
There promises to be a sensation at
the meeting, over the playing in the H
A. c. team of soldiers. Kaminsky and
Bennett were expected to appear in the
stripes of the Zebras this year, but
now they are out in the red for prac-
tice. Some of the Males will charge
that there has passed consideration
or that there will be one in the event
that the men finally play with the
Athletics. This is strenuously denied
by the Honolulu men and they say it
was a case of the former Artillery team
men picking out their own club and at
taching themselves to it.
The H. A. C.s have the largest squad
at practice. There assemble each even
ing at the. club for work usually TWEEN
ty-two men. This gives a nucleus for
the two teams SO necessary to fast
practice. So far the men are being
worked only on passing and kicking

BAIL Thunder Pleads Guilty Of
the Murder of the SquaW
0.bah-bah.Mushke.

1t was last Saturday morning
that BAIL Thunder was brought
before Judge McClenahan on the
charge of manslaughter in the
first degree. Thunder pleaded
guilty of the charge, whereupon
the Judge sentenced him to six
teen years at Saltwater.
The facts in this case are sub.
stantially as follows;
BAIL Thunder with six other
Indians were at Nebish doing
some trading, and freight train
came along which they boarded
and started for the reservation.
Two squaws were in the caboose.
BAIL came in and looked at them
and without saying a word went
out. In few minutes he re-en-
tered and looked upon the women
and retired from the car without
saying a word. He came in for
the third time and while looking
on them one squaw said: Glow
many more times are you coming
i'm to look at us?" BAIL, still 81,
lent, picked up a pevy stick which
was there for the purpose of
turning on the car brakes and
struck her over the head, render
ing her unconscious. The wo-
man was taken to the agency
where she died in a short time.
Attorney Street was notified OF
the fact and Sheriff Bailey was
sent to Red Lake, where BAIL
was made his prisoner.
The woman murdered was Ba-
zil' aunt by marriage, and while
his act was rash in the extreme it
was not premeditated. BAIL
filed himself up with bad whis-
key at Nebish, and whiskey in
the aborigine does not lie like oil
on the troubled sea. Perhaps
there is a chance to criticise the
white man who sold the whis-
key

In one night he would make shack

cause he had so many fine points.
Perfection would balk sometimes-his
stomach would shy at the steady diet.
Then I would stir him up bit by
shooting out a few hatfulls of qullls.
He got dead leary of my rifle. We

12-foot log lying across my grub

that my wind was so poor that l

free, so 1 grabbed my rife to plug
him. He gave life-size squeal and
sprung on top of the log above me.
He bit and clawed red hot for spell,
and the log busted so I could climb
out from under. You see it was my

Juror. After coming to Bemidji he
got sidetracked in a grog shop and
when his name was called in the court

soon brought there by the law, and
his honor imposed upon him the pen

Getting a Move On

A strong effort is being made by Cal ifornia statesmen to get the Treasury Department to commence condemna- tion proceedings to take additional land for the Los Angeles public build ing. Senator Bard has been working along this line for some time, believ- ing that the government can get the necessary land for the amount appro- priated by Congress, although the land owners in Los Angeles ask nearly twice as much as Congress has appro- priated. Saturday the Treasury De- partment at Washington received let ter from Senator Perkins, urging that condemnation proceedings be com- menced as soon as possible. Senator Perkins, along with Senator Bard, thinks that the land can be had for the sum now available.
 The Treasury Department seems to be somewhat moved by these appeals for early action, and it is learned that Col. Low, who has been assigned to go to Los Angeles to look into the matter, will visit that city during the coming month, instead of during the month of October, showing that the department has some inclination to hasten matters. It is evident that if the business men of Los Angeles, who are being inconvenienced by the cramped government quarters in that city, press upon the Treasury Depart ment the necessity for early action, things will go along good deal faster. Since kicks against delay have been arriving, the Treasury Department has warmed up to the proposition, and is evincing lively interest in the case.

WARNER RANCH INDIANS New Lands Believed to Be in Pala
 Valley, San Diego County

I. has been officially announced by the interior department at Washington that the report of the Lummis com mission had been approved and the lands which are recommended for the purpose of homes for the owners of these lands convince the government of their inability to furnish satisfac- tory title. What the lands are or where situated, the department will not dis close. Assistant Secretary Ryan says this information will be withheld until the title question has been settled. So far as can be learned the department does not doubt the ability of the own- CTS to give title.
 Indian Commissioner Jones now has hopes that the transfer of the long suffering Indians will soon be an accomplished fact. It will require few days, possibly, to get the abstract of title into shape and forward it to the department. Then it will take a few more for the department to pass on the title. Then the work of allot- ment and moving will begin. While tie officials will give no hint of the location, it is supposed that the lands are in Pala valley, San Diego county

On Matching Trees

Meehan's Monthly for August wisely suggests that "the urgency of cultivating soil about trees is often made impressive by horticultural writers and teachers, while the im- portance of mulching is less brought to the fore.
 "Soil is cultivated with two objects in view-of conserving moisture and removing weeds. Mulching shades the soil and helps it to retain mois- ture, fulfilling one of the objects most excellently; and also to some extent it keeps down the weeds. Remove a good mulch from about tree during a

The Chestnut in California

John Isaac assures the readers of the Pacific Tree and Vine that "there are some small chestnut orchards in Cali fornia," and he believes they are profitable as rule.

It is found in heavy soil and in light, and seems to have little choice in the matter.''
