WILL TRAIN At HOME THIS YEAR
Spokane Team to be Managed by Mat
Stanley Catcher

Those who have been hoping that the
Spokane league team would repeat its
precedent Of last year and come to
Lewiston for their training season will
be disappointed to learn that the new
manager has decided differently and
will train his men at the home grounds
at Spokane.
Matt Stanley Is the manager of the
Spokane team for the coming season.
He will be remembered by the Lewiston
fans as the main back stop OF the team
last year.
In regard to this years training the
Chronicle says:
Manager Mat Stanley Of the Spo-
kane baseball team announces that the
in Spokane instead of going to some
other locality. as has been, the custom
in the past. The team will be ordered
to report here by April 1. and from that
time the fans may watch the Indians
get into form for the championship
race.
"Stanley's plan is a good one. as III
believes the training Of the team herr
will arouse considerably more interes
In the game. He believes the SPOKANE
climate is good enough for anything
and that the team can get into goot
shape here. :
Besides this. Stanley says there will
be a good show for any fast amateur 4
show what he can do. Every playe
must have a start holds the old tim
catcher. and this will be a good chanc
for some youngster to break into fas
; company without going to so much ex
!. pense. In all probability there may b
some likely material for the team tina
has not yet been discovered" /.

Moral Value of Even Slight
Financial Backing By E: NJ: co7:oa

imately saved this feeling is strength
ened, the social students declare.
All the way down the line, moreover,
this theory is said to work out it's own
justification. For an extreme instance
is told the following story Of the ref
ormation of a recreant husband and his
reconciliation with his injured wife and
children.
This man drank to excess, and when
fully abused his family. The poor
wife and mother, being physically un-
able to support herself and her chill
dren, was forced to endure all things
for the sake of such fragments of her
husbands wages as she could wrest or
persuade from him between times"
Urged and encouraged by a wise and
tactful collector for the Penny Savings
Bank society, this woman gradually
saved and scraped together the sum OF
$50. 1t took her a long time, but it was
at last accomplished. And with the
bank book had been built up and
strengthened the poor woman's courage
and self-respect. Then. when the hus-
band was misbehaving worse than ever
the wife took counsel of the collector
What shall you do with him?
Brighten and then feed him." came the
direct and unhesitating answer. Have
him arrested the next time he comes
home drunk and beats you. When he
is sober and penitent, be as good te
him as you can"
Jail Led to Thought
Emboldened by the knowledge tina
her savings would protect her LITTLE
ones from danger of starvation fol
some time IL need be, the woman
plucked up courage to follow the ad
, vice. A couple Of days in Jail enable,
, the husband to do some quiet thinking

been previously informed of the fact

Z he was ready to do much to reconcil
himself with the wife he really love-
and respected. Signing the pledge ha,

the Judge who had paroled him, an

nection. These men. number Of whom

the communication clause of the home

whereby perjury and subornation of

desert land law, said they. had been

and not for the reclamation of land for
agricultural purposes. 1t is" said the

that a commission be appointed care

able for grazing be leased to actua
residents of locality for nomina

In the two years that have expired
since the president called the attention
OF congress to the timber-and-stone
law, there have been located under II
over three million acres of timber land
of which the timber itself. aside from
the land, was worth anywhere from $l5
to 800 an acre. In other words, the
government has thrown away $70,0OO.'

two years. II, as one competent OBJ

Two years ago the president called
the attention of congress, in the
strongest possible terms, to the neces-
sity of doing something to stop the
depredations on public lands under the
timber and stone act. The secretary
of the interior said. at that time. in
his annual report: THE timber-and-
stone act will. il not repealed or radi-
cally amended, result ultimately in the
complete destruction of the timber on
the unappropriated and unreserved
public lands" President. Roosevelt
and his secretary of the interior reit-
Grated their demands in 1908. and in
the last session Of congress the senate
actually passed a bill repeating this
ridiculous law. The house pigeon
holed the bill. and at this writing II Is
still lying in that committee, in spite OF
the presidents earnest efforts to have
something done and in spite of the m
dictments which the Oregon grand )ur,

As commissioner Of the land Office it
was Hermann's duty to pass upon the

Oregon it was naturally his pleasure.
and that of Senator Mitchell to expe-

leges that this process of expediting

chief beneficiaries of which were the

TITANiA IN GALES

One hundred and seventy days out
from Leith. the German bark Titanla
came into port yesterday. after a voy.
age the last part of which was made
interesting by heavy gales. Going
around the Horn the Titania ran for
eight days with the wind and waves
trying to tear things loose. Nearly
dozen sails were lost in these gales.
The Titania made very slow time, be.
ing passed by both the Antuca and
Cristobal Soler, which are now in this
port.
The Titania carries 1900 tons Of gen
eral cargo, consigned to Davies & Com
pany. This is her first trip to 10
nolulu. She is discharging cargo at
Hackfeld's wharf. Captain BIester is
on his first visit to Honolulu.
