An innovation in class PUSHES tried wfth
great success by the freshmen and sophomores
Of the University OF Pennsylvania last week
Instead of the senseless fight in the basement OF
College Hall, in which many students have IN
past years received injuries. owing to the lin

make the class rush a combination Of football
on a gigantic scale and a free-for-au pushing

SOphomores and freshmen lined up on opposite
sides of Franklin Field, while the senior who
managed the affair stood in the centre with a

game was to carry the ball down behind the
goal posts at football. No rules were made
for the rush The sole object was to get the
ball back of the game posts Any tactics short

After the vote for officers. the question Of
changing the constitution came up, that the
government might be carried on more in con-
forrnity with the modern idea, but this was
promptly voted down with unanimity. One OF
the convincing arguments for retaining the pres

had expended large sums in public works with

Oconee Cotton Association to Meet.

The Oconee County Cotton Association
is hereby called to meet Mt Walhalla, in
the Court House, on December o, 1905,
for the purpose of electing officers for the
coming year; also to elect three dele
gates to attend tho State Association, to
meet on January 3, 1906, and attend to
other important business.
Each school district of the county is
requested to call meeting in the dis
trict of all interested in good prices for
cotton on Saturday, December 2, and
elect new ofliccrs-a president, secretary
and treasurer, also three delegates to at
tend the county association on the 9th.
Said delegates are requested to collect
the annual dues of 20 cents per member
County Secretary and Treasurer on
the 9th.
No organization OF Southern interests
has ever accomplished so much in so
short n time at so little cost and time to
those most largely interested as the
Southern Cotton Association. Greater
possibilities and realities also are still
just ahead of us if we will get moro COM
pactly together and stay together and
handle our staple money-crop in a busi,
ness-like way. If we, as individuals,
crawl into our shells of seltishness and
narrow -mindedness and trust to blind
fate and cotton spectators to turn for
tune our way, we will "pay dear for our
whistle" and get very cheap whistle
for our pains. We insist on the leading
citizens of Oconee meeting on the I'd in
the different school districts and in the
Court House on the 9th and helping to
push our county up the hill of prosper
ity. We have climbed one heavy grade
the past year, and the whole Southern
world feels good over it. Every citizen
should pay few cents and put hand
to the wheel and push and we will get up
the next hill much easier. We must go
higher. 1t would be business suicide to
stand still or go down hill. All together
and at it. j. p. Stribling,

Cotton Farmers to Sign This.

The pledges to be signed by cotton
holders, to tie up three million bales Of
cotton for ninety days, or until the price
reaches Is cents, are now in the hands of
the County President, j. p. Striblng.
He will be glad to furnish copies by mail
to any school district in the county, or
to take the names of any and all who
will call on him at Richland. All go at
once. Following is the pledge:
TO all Holders of Spot Cotton:
1t is now definitely ascertained from
reliable sources, including the Depart
mcnt of Agriculture at Washington, that
the present crop of cotton will be in the
neighborbood of only ten million bales.
Half the crop has already been sold
around ten cents. An unprecedented
demand exists for the balance of this
would average the price to the mills at
only l24 cents. We must tie up at least
three million bales at once to convince
the cotton world that we mean business
If this is done the market will advance
to our figure. The Southern Cotton
Association, therefore, asks all spot
holders who are able to do so to sub
scribe to the following pledge:
We, the following named citizens of
.pOSS once, ....... county, .......
State, hereby agree to use every power
at our command to hold the number ~
bales of cotton stated opposite our /
spective names for ninety days from date
and refuse to sell any of said cotton
within that time for less than 10 cents
per pound, basis middling, at our mar
ket points.
The names of all signatures will be
confidential and none given out to the
public by the association, only the aggre-
gate number of bales from each county

ANOTHER ROUTE
Railroad to Tonopah Via OLD
Town of Austin

The Southern Pacific Company is re-
ported to have an option on the Nevada
Sentral railroad from Battle Mountain
to Austin. 1t is understood that the Har,
riman interests now have men at work
taking an inventory of the stock of ,he
old railroad that runs from Battle Moun-
tain to Austin and that within the next
few weeks the transfer will be made
improbable as this report may seem it
is nevertheless true The Southern Pa
cific has been at work for some time
trying to solve the problem of through
line to ronopah. The Nevada Central
offers the only true solution to this i'm
Dortant proposition and it now seems q
certainty that the deal has been made.
Reports from Austin state that the
people of the old town look forward to
one of the busiest years in the history
of the little town. It'll is not improbable
that If the Southern Pacific secures con-
troll of the railroad and extends 1t to the
southern country that the old mines will
reopen and that employment will be CIV
en- to hundreds of men
If the deal is carried through it means
the rejuvination of the old town of Aus
tin and the opening up of through
route from the east to the gold camps
of the south. The distance from Battle
Mountain to Tonopah is not much more
than 200 miles. BY continuing the line
from there the long haul from thAre to
Reno and then on would be saved
In fact, freight is now beng shipped
/ from Austin and from reports received
that old town is livelier now than for
fifteen years past The Tonopah Mer-
camille Company at Tonopah has con-
+ tracted with the railroad to deliver 800
tons of freight per month at Austin for
4 the teamsters, the price for hauling be-
ing $50 per ton each way. On the return
trip the teams agree to haul ore to be
delivered to the railroad. About sixteen
eight and twelve-horse teams are now
engaged in this work and as the demand
increases the number of teams will in
crease in proportion.

his first trip assessing property this
year Wednesday He went to Lovelock
Tuesday and collected nearly $3.50 from
feeders that are liable to ship out any
day. He collected nothing from perma-
from those who might be termed tran
sients. Mr.. Guthrie reports the valley as
looking fine and the land in good condi-
ton for big crops. He says that some of
the farmers have commenced a little irri-
eating, but in the main water has not
as yet been turned out on the land. He
says the alfalfa is starting up and that
farmers will cut good crop in any
event. Lovelock has the finest soil o.
any valley in Nevada and the people are
industrious and as a consequence all are
doing well. Assessor Guthrie says there
is quite a quantity of old hay left over,
but that much of last year product is
being shipped out to Tonopah and other
places. The Lovelock Creamery is run

He says an eight-horse team is con-

STUBS RESIGNS
friction Between Traffic Man
ager and Hartman

1t was stated positively yesterday at
the Union Pacific headquarters in Oma-
ha that the resignation of ]. G. Stubbs,
traffic director of all the Hartman lines,
had been handed in. The resignation is
believed to have resulted directly from the
iieveu to have resulted directly from the
discovery of the secret traffic agreement
between the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe, which was signed by Stubbs
on behalf of the Southern Pacific and by
Paul Morton, now Secretary of the Navy.
on behalf of the Santa Fe. While it Is
understood that Stubbs' resignation was
not requested, it is said that the friction
between him and the Hartman interests
has been growing greater until he had
practically no alternative.
Stubbs has been receiving a salary of
$4,000 a year and is considered one of the
brightest traffic managers in the country.
1t is understood in Omaha that s. w.
Eccles, third vice president and traffic
manager of the American Smelling and
refining Co., has been appointed to sue
ceed Stubbs. Eccles was formerly traffic
director of the Oregon Short Line and is
believed to stand well with the Hartman
interests.
