famine of herring along the coast and

herring has been known for many years
ana many attribute it to the late sum
mer ana chilly weather, saying the fish
will appear later in the season, but
whether this is the solution of the prob

made the victory more decisive.
In the afternoon the Ivy day exer-

Junior classes for 40 years or more,
were carried out by '03 in Memorial
hall. After they had planted their ivy
outside, the beautiful and Impressive
ceremony Of the seniors last chapel was
held in the chapel, the only feature of
the day that is not particularly the
property of the juniors. This evening.
| the Ivy ball is in progress with young

and it is 4 pretty and delightful affair.
The DekeS turned over their beautiful
chapter house to their guests and be-

a score or more of the young ladies will
have the unique experience of having
undisputed possession Of the chapter
house. tonight.
It was q happy combination Of the
morning ball game and the afternoon
exercises that Captain Havey. who led
his team to victory, is also president of
afternoon exercises and made the vari
Gus presentations as previously voted
by the class. And the most important
and coveted presentation, made in all
seriousness with joking aside, the pres
entatiou of the wooden spoon to the
most popular man, was made to Phil
Coffin, who had pitched the winning
game earlier in the day. The selection
of popular man is made by secret bal

not made public until IVY day. No

game of the season. The morning
dawned with the sky rather overcast

in the morning the sky cleared and it
was decided to play the game. There

NO BOOM, SAYS HILL.
He Declares the Farm Land Move-
ment Is Permanent. ~

st. Paul, May 18.-In an interview
in the Commercial West James J,
Hill says that the present farm land
movement is permanent and will con
tinue. He says that there is nothing
OF the boom about it, that it is nor
NAL, natural and necessary. Mr.. Hill
says:
"The population of the United
States is increasing at the rate of
1000 daily. We are growing at the
rate of 1900, 900 a year. Inside of so
years W. will have $50, 0OO, 900 people.
They must nov onto the new lands
and nowhere is there the opportunity
in cheap, fertile lands and in all lines
of human energy and enterprise, sup
plemented by transportation facilities
to the best markets, that there is right
here in the northwest.
THE cities cannot absorb the 5O,-
100000 increase in population in the
next 30 years. The bulk of the popu-
lation must be engaged in productive
occupations. The bulk of the in
crease must 60 to the farms, and they
pour into the northwest as naturally
as water runs down hill.
North Dakota and Manitoba have
received the heaviest immigration be-
cause they have more wild, cheap land
and hecanSa thew hava workod how'd
er to get it. The present movement
is simply n of those population
movements which have characterized
the race from the earliest recorded
time. Men adhere to the soil from
which they draw subsistence and will
go wherever soil and climate offer
best inducements. The movement in
to the northwest is in accord with
the general law. It is a normal and
fact"

British Chancellor Of the E~xchequer
Abandons Tax on Checks.

London, May 13.-The chancellor Of
the e%xchequer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, has yielded to the storm of
d~isapproval aroused by the feature
Of the financial bill affecting checks,
and today definitely announced in the
house of commons the withdrawal of
the extra tax-of one penny placed on
checks. He added that he reserved
the right to impose another tax to
meet the resulting deficiency.
On the second reading of the ina1ue
bill Sir William Vernon Harcourt, lib
eral, moved that this house declines
to impose duties. OF grain,t flour, and
other food stuffs."
During the course of his speech
Sir William urged that the innovation
contravened the fundamental princi-
pie of sound finance.
The chancellor of the excheuuer, in
replying, denied that there had been
any general rise in the price of bread.
For a moment the demand was greater
than the supply, but it must not be
forgotten that while necessary for
Great Britain to obtain wheat and
flour from America and other quar-
tiers, it was equally necessary to Sc
cure other products for this country.
1t was absurd to suppose that three
penny duty on grain could cause a
single acre to go out of cultivation in
America. She must send her wheat
here on account of the protective
duties elsewhere. The production of
grain throughout the world was in
creasing at a greater ratio than the
demand. He believed that the pro-
ducers and carriers of grain would
pay the new tax. if there vas a big
crop. 1t was necessary to impose
additional taxation on the masses. in
order that they should be made to
what war preparation and war
involved.

JAILED INSTEAD OF MARRIED,
Said to Have ROBBED His Affianced of
T-" ~ Money and JeweIry.

" Money and JeWeIry.
Dillon, May 1S.-One of the most
accommodating officials in Montana
is George w. French, clerk of the dis
trict court of Beaverhead county. A
weeks or so ago a man who was work
ing on the free county high school
building and who gave his name as
William Smith, was granted a license
to marry Mrs. Anna Christensen. He
stated at the time that he did not
have enough money to pay for the H.
cense; that when he paid the preacher
he would be broke. Clerk French
kindly consented to wait a few days
for the marriage license fee. Then
the man became confidential and
told Mr.. French that hevwas related
to the Mullins of Butte, and that if
he would keep his marriage license
away from the newspaper reporters
an additional IS would be his. The
clerk did so, and informed the news
paper reporters that there would be
some cigars in it if their eyes were
blinded to the issuance of the license.
This morning the denoument came,
and Smith, whose real name is P. X.
Sullivan, is in Jail on a charge of
grand larceny. He was arrested in
Butte last night by Chief Stone on
complaint of Mrs. Christensen. He
is accused of stealing SIS in cash and
a considerable amount of jewelry
from the women whom he had taken
out a license to marry. Chief Stone
has recovered the greater portion of
the jewelry, which Sullivan had pawn
ed in various places around Butte
The preliminary hearing of the ac-
cused will take place on Monday af-
ternoon, when it is expected some in
teresting testimony will be given.

The President and Insurgent Republi-
cans Unable to Aqree.

cans unable TO agree. "
Washington, May 18.-President
Roosevelt and the "~insurgent' republi.
cans of the senate and house of repre-.
sentatives have Joined issues on the
question of tariff modification and rec.
iprocity.
The president is firm in his original
determination of reciprocity for Cuba,
and points out the Endorsements he
has received from the state republican
conventions in the states of Illinois,
Indiana and also in Oregon. s
The insurgents say that they are
just as determined as ever to pre-
vent the so-called Cuban reciprocity
to the detriment and exclusion of any
other reciprocity and modification of
the tariff which is needed by the peo-
pie of the west. Their plan as out
lined today is this: Prevent the
Cuban bill from passing unless there
are amendments granting concessions
on iron and steel, wood pulp. glass,
etc.
j, 1t is too late now for a tariff discus
sion at this session, but the insur-
gents want to lay the foundation for
either the consideration of a bill at
the short session or at an extra SEES
sion which the president says he will
call soon after March 4, unless some
Cuban legislation is enacted this ses-
sion.
The western republican members
who are against the eastern leaders
feel certain that the sentiment of the
country is with the president in his
fight against the trusts and also with
them in the interest of tariff revision
and they will insist on their present
position during the remainder of this
session.
