BASEBALL SEASON TO
Be OPENED MAY |
Hutchinson and Wichita Clubs
TO Contest
ON THE HOME GROUNDS
Southwestern League Now
Comprises Six Towns.

The Southwestern Baseball League viii
open the present season Nry !, with three
games in this city between the Wichita
club and a similar aggregation from
Hutchinson On the same date Guthrie
will play three games with Oklahoma
City at the latter place and Enid and
Winfield, other members of the league,
will probably play their initial games on
the following Saturday.
The management has been selected Cor
the six clubs of the league, and from
negotiations that have been opened re-
Gently il is probable that Shawnee viii
become a member and the league extend
ed to seven club organization.
The managers of the six clubs already
in the league follow:
Oklahoma City, Flaherty and Rogers;
Guthrie, Ernest Jones and VIM. Hughes;
Hutchinson, Ed Moore and Park Smith;
Winfield, Harry Plagman; Enid, Walter
Frantz, and Wichita, Ted Sullivan.
Frantz withdraws from the Kansas City
Blues to take the management Of the
Enid team.
Just little more help is needed by the
promoters here in the way of funds for
the building of a fence and grandstands.
Already 500 has been subscribed and it
will not require much more to complete
the work. When all the subscribers to
the fund cannot lose anything and will
receive the full amount invested after
the league once gets in operation, i t
would seem that MIR. Sullivan would have
little difficulty in raising enough money
to build the desired facilities He asks
no financial backing whatever for his club
and will shoulder the responsibility Of.
paying for lease on the grounds. the
money invested in the buildings will be
refunded al a certain per cent of the gate
receipts and the salary of the players,
all unaided.
At present Mr. Sullivan has an option
on several pieces Of ground and this mat
ter Will be definitely decided upon when
the announcement that sufficient money
is up to assure the building Of facilities
Although Mr.. Sullivan has had numcr-
ous offers from other cities with promises
of all the financial aid he needs to bring
his club there, he has stuck to Wichita.
az like Wichita and think it is the best
city in the state for a baseball club,
Mr. sullivan has repeatedly said, since
his arrival here. IF the project is in

At the Teller.

The Holden Stock company gave an
other pleasing performance of "Sapho'
last night ats the Toler This play has
undoubtedly given better satisfaction and
received more praise from the two large
audiences which ha<ea TENDED the Toler
Monday night and last night than any
other play ever presented here by stock
company. There is not one person who
has seen "Sapho' presented before but
what says the Holden Stock company has
surpassed any production ever given here
Miss Crawford, as "Sapho," is simply
fine Her emotional acting in the third
act, as Jean starts to leave her, would
compare with any actress who has played
here. The remainder of the cast leaves
nothing TO be desired in their respective
parts. "Sapho' will be presented again
tonight and all who have had d desire
to see this play will certainly see "Sapho"

gon, to which he was hitched, greatly to
the delight of a large throng which had
gathered when the trouble began. The
horse backed that delivery wagon on
every foot of ground within a distance
of fifty feet from the corner all of the
time beating a tattoo on the front portion
with his feet.
The occupants leaped to the ground and
escaped injury, but all the time the work
Of den2olishing that vehicle continued
with renewed vigor. At last after another
squirt with his heels and after getting
himself as well as the vehicle upon the
sidewalk. the horse succeeded in getting
clear of the vehicle. He was docile
enough then and made no trouble when
the boys quietly backed him off into the
street again and made arrangements to
harness him TO the vehicle a second time.

Much interest will be felt over the an

best known of American players, will he

1s, matinee and night. appearing as Vir-
GINA Carvel in Winston Churchill's DRAM
atization of his famous novel THE Cri-
sis" This will be Miss Irvings first ap-
pearance in this city as a star. while the
play has been seen here but once, when 1t
was presented by Miss Irving's manager,
Mr.. James X Hackett. Those who have
seen the play presented by a company at
the head of which a woman plays, declare
| that it shows 10 much better advantage.
Miss Irying's company is said to be one
of the best on the road this season. while
her production is one of especial beauty.
'Hoity Toity'' is said to be entertain
ing, magniicently staged, beautifully cos
TUNED and capably played, which is not
surprising when il is known that Weber
and Fields are responsible for it. Those
of our theater goers who have not had
the pleasure of an evening with Weber
and Fields in their coy little New York
theater will, no doubt, rejoice that these
managers have decided TO yield to the
clamor throughout the country for a
road production Of "Hoity Toity,'' the
greatest musical comedy success New
York has seen in many a year; and that
Manager Martlins has had the enterprise
TO secure this exceptionally high class
entertainment for an engagement of one
night, Tuesday, March D. which is all
the more commendable in view of the
fact that guarantee was required.

to interest. 1t is quite evident that Mr..

preciates the famous liens of Shake

is the greatest living legitimate tragedi-
an. The press and general theater going

Farmers Build a Railroad.

An interesting report is given in
the Lewiston Tribune of how the
farmers in Ramsey county, North
Dakota, secured transportation for
their grain after James ]. Hill, Of
the Great Northern, had refused to
build 25-mile branch that would
have tapped natural granary, but
only partly cultivated because Of
the long and expensive haul to the
railway. 1t kept the farmers busy
all winter hauling what grain they
did produce to market. Six of the
largest planters met at the school
house and decided that if Hill
wouldn't help them they would help
themselves. They asked every
farmer who hauled grain to DEVILS
Lake to subscribe. Some subscrib-
ed $25; others $50. They raised
$4,000. They sent farmer to
Duluth to buy ties and another to
St. Paul to buy old rails. They
hired section hands to lay the track.
But they needed more money.
They bought land along the line
and laid out three towns, sold lots,
and used the money to buy an old
engine, a day coach and four box
cars from the Great Northern rail-
way. The road started. 1t will
stop for any farmer at any place.
Last year the road made its own
expenses, it hauled 10000 bushels
of wheat This year, with the
railroad at hand, the farmers plant
ed more wheat, and the road will
haul 100000 bushels. Here is
what these farmers had done wher
they built their railroad: Estab
lished three towns, increased thu
price of land along the way IS pc
cent, increased their yield of wheat
built schools, established tele
. phones. They made whole com
munity richer and independent.

$3.50 FROM ONE ACRE.
UncuItivated Crop Yields Astonish
Ing Returns.

Joe Baker Of Black Springs, two
miles west of Marysville, last
spring sowed an acre Of onions,
using three pounds of seed. After
sowing them they received no at
tention whatever, having received
no cultivation in any form, and Mr..
Baker was greatly surprised that
they were his best crop. A short
time ago he harvested them, and
secured |, 100 bushels of fine onions,
sold everyone on the ground to his
neighbors, realizing an even $3.50
for them, and could have sold many
more. He is now trying to figure
out how much he would have made
had he carefully cultivated them.
This is pretty neat sum to receive
from one acre, and demonstrates
that Fremont county soil is as good
as any on earth.

FREMONT COUNTY SCHOOLS.
Statistics Cleaned from Report Of
State Superintendent.

Fremont county has the largest
number of school children of any
county in the state, leading the list
with 7, 144, compared with 1882
in Latah, which stands second.
Fremont has III teachers, and pays
them 500, 761. 96. The average
cost of maintenance, throughout the
state, was $11.01 per pupil. Ten
years ago Fremont county was
practically a waste. St. Anthony
had but half dozen houses, and
only a few scattered ranches near
her, with only few schools in
sparsely settled districts. The
development of the shcool system
is but reflection of the wonderful
growth of the county, which ranks
second in taxable valuation in the
state, and is yet only in her infancy.
