Then, by dividing the land among
those who use It and seeing that the
land owner is also the owner OF the
water and OF all the facilities of its
distribution.
Fortunately for them, the pioneers
and those who followed them were

PITTSBURG AN EASY

The syndicate which offered to wag-

the pennant in the National League

bad way had it been successful in
getting takers for the wager, for the
champions are now sailing along fur
Their in front than they have ever
been, nearly one hundred points being
between them and their nearest oppo-
nent, Chicago. With all of his men
above the 300 mark in batting with
two exceptions manager Clark has easy
sailing before him and it is only a.
question now of just how far Pittsburg
will win.
Chicago is as easily second as the
champions are first, having verified
all predictions by donning a winning
streak that has brought the Colts
up from fourth place in the last two
weeks to the honor position near the
leaders. The Colts have shown won
derful form, and were it not for the
fact that the champions had such a
tremendous lead they would vet give
them an argument for the pennant.
