OLD CROWD WON.
Horace Cowgirl Elected PreSi-
dent of Washburn Athletics.

The old regime won at Washburn
college this morning in the election If
officers for the athletic association for
the next year. By a majority of 90
votes it was decided to continue the
athletics as they have been handled
within the last two years.
The following We're elected: Horace
Cowgirl, president; Elmer Hill, vice
president; Sumner Pressy, treasurer;
Minna Bauer, secretary. The total
vote cast was go.
The fight dates back to the election
of the football captain last year after
the season. Some of Chick Cunning
hams friends felt that the big tackle
was entitled to the leadership of the
eleven. Captain Dadisman had, how
ever, proven himself such a capable
man, that the majority of the players,
and the sentiment of the school was
for his reelection. This was done.
At once a fight commenced brewing
over the election of officers for the
athletic association. The friends of
Omar Mehl, who is a crack all-around
athlete. placed his name in nomination
for presidency of the association He
was backed by Cunningham. For
three months past, the fight has been
growing more bitter every day
The inside issue. according to talk
of the students on the campus, was
that if Meh1 was elected president, he
would appoint Cunningham on the
board of control, and that 1T was said
that Coach Kennedy would not handle
the team if such an appointment were
made. This story is taken purely from
gossip among the students.
Cunningham, however, puts himself
into the clear with this statement
which he made few days ago. IF
Mehl is elected / will not get on the
board of control because that is not
on the programme. No matter what
the outcome of this deal, 1 will be
back TO play football next year.
The detailed vote was as follows:
For president. Total.

tons.

Under this heading the Mining
Reporter says:
''The general land office Is a.
bout to establish several striking
reforms in it's methods of doing
business. One of the most radical
departures from the old system
is the fitting out of special agents
of the land office with kodaks of
a high grade. They are to be
used in photographing the i'm
provements of homesteads, tim
Der and stone entries, and other
land taken by settlers, and the
pictures will be the best kind of
evidencesin the thousands of con-
test cases. pending. In most of
the cases. where the title is dis
puted, the original entrYman sets
up the claim that he has made
more or less improvements. The
contestee who seeks to GUST the
entryman alleges, on the contra
rye that there are few, if any,
improvements and that the law
has not been complied with. On
this issue there are lively con-
tests before the registers and re-
ceivers of local land offices, and
many witnesses are brought to
testify on each side. After local
land offices render a decision the
case is generally appealed to the
general land office at Washington
and passed on by the commits
sioner. This means long delays
and much hardships to the set
tiers, besides considerable ex-
pense. 1t is proposed now to try
the experiment OF sending out
special agents and photographing
the houses, fences and outbuild-
ings that have been erected on
the lands in dispute. The land
office officials believes that when
this method is once adopted there
will be fewer contests, for the
photographs, accompanied by the
sworn afidavits of the special
agents and two other witnesses
will be prima facie evidence that
cannot be ,controverted. 1t will
do away with other witnesses and
the department. expects that
there will be a more healthy and
better tone of business in the
general land office.
