Subs for OAC were Wann and
and Anderson for center; Hen
bricks, right guard; Shredder left
guard and Parker and Sweek
half backs. Bryson refereed and
Prof. Hayward kept track of the
time; 80 minute halves were
played.
The game started in possession
of OAC and facing the south goal.
OAC kicks off to Portland who
secured the ball and carried it
back IS yards. By a series of
right and left half-back plays
Portland gains requisite yardage
twice but loses on tumble. OAC
takes ball for substantial gains
but loses. In the next kickoff
Goodell for Portland made phe-
nomenal punt of 70 yards, land
ing the ball behind the goal which
gave the ball to OAC on her rs
yard line. The battle from this
on until the next touchdown by
IOAC was a series of hard line
bucks which gradually pushed
the opposing team back, Gra-
ham making the touchdown and
no goal.
Until the end of the first half
the ball was kept near the center
of the field neither side having
the advantage.
With the opening of the Sec
ond half Portland kicks off to
OAC. This proved to be the
best part of the game for Port.
land was steadily advancing to-
ward the OAC goal and if all had
gone we'll would have scored.
Sweek, who was not in the first
half, took Graham's place and
did some star playing; Smithson
also made several fine plays.
When within 20 yards of the
goal Portland made bad tumble
and Sweek quick as flash seized
the pigskin and then shot out fo,
home, 80 yards and a touchdown.
1t was the finest play of the sea.
son. The goal was kicked which
left the score IS to o in favor oi
the home team. From this on
the interest of the Portland boys
took a tumble, their spirit had
gone but like the true gentlemen
they are they played ahead,
cheerful even in defeat. The
next heat was but a repetition ot
the previous ones, another touch
down was made and with one
minute to spare the game came
to an end, with the final score
lof 22 to o in favor Of OAC.

RuSSIA'S GOLD RESERVE.
| The Imperial Bank Veritable
Treasure House.


Treasure House.
Henry Norman, the we'll known Rus
sian traveller, who visited the Imperial
bank at st. Petersburg, describes III
the June Worlds Work the treasure
chamber as follows:
The walls of the apartment were
completely covered up to a height Of
about eight feet with shallow cup
boards with doors of strong wire net
ting, leaving their contents plainly Wis,
tble, each door being both padlocked
and sealed. About five-siXthS of these
cupboards were completely filled on
narrow shelves with ingots of gold, the
ends of which made a lining of gold
for nearly the length of the room. The
light was reflected brightly from the
shining metal. and the effect needless
to say, was highly impressive. | felt
as if some fairy bad conducted me to
one Of the caves OF gold I used to read
about with awe as a child. The bal
ance sheet Of the Bank of Russia for
March 20 stated the total gold reserve
In the bank to be as follows: Russian
gold coin, 238,O00,000 rubles; foreign
gold coin, 100000 rubles; bullion
gold coin, 2O4,OOO,OOO rubles; total
5S4, 100000 rubles, or 1913, 100000.
The total gold reserve of Russia
reaches the imposing sum of 100000
600 rubles, or more than $55O,OOO,OOO.
1t is, of course, only a comparatively
small part of this vast stock Of the pre-
cious metal that would be available
under any circumstances for a war
fund. This fund would come, in the
first place, from the reserve of gold
saw. The currency law Of Russia Of
1897 prescribes that up to 6OO,OOOOOO
rubles paper money may be issued with
g gold reserve of only one-half it's face
value, but that ali subsequent issues
must be covered, ruble for ruble, by a
gold reserve. Now there IS nominal
circulation Of paper money to the val
lie of 6SOOOO,OOO rubles, but of this
there are always at least 100000 to
100000 in the bank; therefore the
effective circulation of paper money
Is not more than 650,0OO,OOO and Of
this, according to law, 35O,OOO,O0O must
be redeemable by fixed gold deposit.
Deducting this sum from the 5S4 ,OO0,.
900 Of the fixed gold deposit. we have
234 100000 rubles Immediately availa-
BILE as a war fund, and to this can GER
tainly be added q large part Of the gold
on deposit abroad, belonging, as eN-
planned above, both to the state and to
the Bank of Russia, the total being.

Ten thousand persons driven from

dispatches indicated that the Kaw River
had flooded Armourdale and the weather

evidently IN the family, as the father
shot himself years ago, although at
that time IT was thought he was wor-

also committed suicide by shooting him
