Representatives of U. S. c., Pomona
and Occidental Adopt Set of Eli
glbiity Rules for Championship
Contests for Season of 19o5-6

The students of U. s. c., Pomona and
Occidental have adopted a set of eligt-
bility rules which will govern all fu-
ture athletic relations between these
institutions.
The agreement means that hereafter
all intercollegiate championships will be
competed for by these three institutions
alone, St. Vincent's not being admitted,
it is said, because of a lack of scholar
ship.
The following representatives from
Pomona, U. S. C. and Occidental met
at Occidental Monday: Best and
Holmes of U. S. c., Watson Burke
president of the student body and j..
p. Hagerman, athletic representative,
and Dean Stevenson of the faculty for
Occidental; Charles Wharton and
Thomas Griffin for Pomona.
The students have felt for some time
that the grievance which has so long
existed between them has become too
insignificant and ancient to longer in
terfere with their athletic relations.
The result of the meeting was that
the following rules were drawn and
Yesterday were unanimously adopted
by the three schools:
Eligibility Rules
To be eligible to represent Pomona,
II. S. c. or Occidental in athletics, stu
dents must be above passing grade
from the beginning of the term in
which the contest takes place in at
| least twelve hours of college work, or
at least ten hours of work in official
professional schools. Two hours of lab
oratory work will count as one hour
| A student who has failed in any term
to receive credit for the amount of
work designated in section one shall
be ineligible to compete until said con-
| dtions are removed.
New students must be in residence at
| least one semester before they are ELI
gible, unless regularly enrolled as
freshmen in full standing for the first
time from some high school or other
preparatory school.
No one may compete for more than
| four years after he is of college rank,
nor for more than four years while of
preparatory grade. Participation on
! college teams elsewhere shall count the
same as though in aforesaid colleges.
Attendance must begin within one
month of the opening of the semester,
save as the contest comes within six
weeks of the opening day, in which
case attendance must begin within a
week of the opening.
All participants on the athletic teams
shall be amateurs in accordance with
the definition of amateurs as included
in the western conference rules.
No person drawing salary for services
rendered the college or student body for
doing other than manual labor shall
compete.
These rules controlling eligibility shall

seen In various degrees Of dilapida-
on, but they show no evidence of
genuine occupation. They have
never been in any sense homes.
Investigations have been carried on
notable in number. The records of
some of the counties examined show
vat 80 per cent of the committed
1esteads were transferred within
e months after acquisition of IT,
ale, and evidence was obtained to
show that two-thirds Of the commu-
tiers Immediately left the state. In
many instances foreigners, particu-
:arly citizens of Canada, came into
this country, declared their intention
of becoming citizens took up home
1teads, committed, sold them and re-
Eurned to their native land.
The reasons given for adhering to
the commutation clause are diverse
and many of them are cogent when
applied to individual cases. 1t is
said for example, that the commu-
ter desires to raise money for use in
Improving his place. This is often
true, but in the majority Of cases the
records show that the commuter i'm
mediately leaves the vicinity. The
frequency of loans is traceable in
many places directly TO the activity
of agents Of loan companies, who
are often United States commission
ers also, eager first to induce settle
ment and then to make these loans
on account of the double commission
received. Later they secure the
business which accrues to them
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1905-12-30

operations Of the commute ton clause
are due largely to lax administration.
The fact is that the presidents t.stab-
iished by decisions rendered on spe-
cial cases have so far weakened the
powers of administration that addi-
tional legislation is necessary.
Desert Land Law.
In the preceding report the opinion
was expressed that the deser.t-Iapd
law should, for the present, at least.
be allowed to stand. with a few
changes in detail. It was believed
that, with the experience Of the past
for guidance, it would be possible to
enforce this law so that its essential
provisions should be complied with.
More careful ANALYSIS, however. of
the operations of this act and of the
practices which have grown up has
led your commission strongly to the
conclusion that this law should be
modified in essential particulars.

process Each visitor sees Postum made of different
parts of the wheat berry treated by different mechan
ca methods and one part blended with small part
of pure New Orleans molasses. So he knows Postum
contains not thing in the world but Wheat and
New Orleans mOlasses. 1t took more than a year of
experimenting to perfect the processes and learn how
develop the diastase and properly treat the other
clements in the wheat to produce the cofee-ke flavor
that makes suspicious people wonder" But there
never has been one grain of old-fashoned or drug
coffee in Postum and never will be.
Another thing, we have on file in our general offices
the original Of every testimonial letter we have
published. We submit that our attitude regarding
coffee is and always has been absolutely fair. If
one wants a stnulant and can digest coffee and it
does not set up any sort of physical acnt drink it,
But if coffee overtaxcs and wcakens the heart (and
it does with some).
Or if it sets up disease of the stomach and bowels
(and it does with some)
Or if it causes weak eyes (and it does with some).
Or if it causes nervous prostraton (and it does
with many.
Then good plain od-fashioned common sense mi ht
(wthout asking permission of coffee merchants) sug
gest to quit putting caffeine (the drug of coffee into
a highly organized human body for health is really
wealth and the happicst sort of wealth.
Then if ones own best interest urges him to study
into the reason and There's reason" he will
earth great big facts that all of the sophsries of the
coffee importers and roasters cannot refute.

One significant brought out by the
Investigation is that a large portion
of the commuters are women, who
never establish permanent resi-
dence and who are employed tempo
rarily in the towns as school teach
ers or in domestic service, or who are
living with their parents. The great

that the supply is adequate for that
purpose. While this showing, on its
face, indicates a compliance with
law, the fact remains that the water
supply, if any at all, is not sufficient
to permanently reclaim the land
The ownership of stock in Il pro-
jected irrigation ditch which does
not exist in fact, or the ownership
of pump temporarily installed, has
often been accepted, in connection
with such testimony, as proof of the
possession of water. Many ALLEGED
irrigation bitches or reservoirs are
familiar to members of the Commits
sion which are utterly inadequate to
irrigate square rod, and upon the
strength of such works patent has
frequently then issued to 10 acres Of
land
Frauds committed through conven-
tional forms of perjury and through
lack of proper Vcyi.iCItion of the
facts as to the rnCl,ama ton of the
land Justify the taking of immediate
and radical steps in the revision Of
the law. Tie law should absolutely
require an actual adequate water
supply, and the limits as to quantity
should be defined
In short, the law should render i'm
possible the continuance Of the
practices by which desert lands
without water, without cultivation,
and without crops are passed int
the possession Of claimants.
Grabbing Lands.
The great bulk of the vacant pub
lie lands throughout the West are un-
suitable for cultivation under the
present known conditions of agricul-
ture, and so located that they can
not be reclaimed by irrigation. They
are, and probably always must be-
of chief value for grazing. There are
it is estimated, more than 100000
600 acres of public grazing land, an
area approximately equal to one-lifth
the extent Of the United States
proper. The exact limits can not be
set, for with seasoned changes large
areas of land which afford good
grazing one year are almost desert in
another. There are also vast tracts
Of wooded timberel land in which
grazing has much Importance, and
until Il further classification of the
public lands is made it will be i'm
possible to give with cxactnes3 the
total acreage. The extent is so vast
and the commercial interests in
volycd so great as to demand in the
highest degree the wise and conscr-
vative handling Of these vast re-
sources.
1t is matter of the first import
ance to know whether these grazing
lands are being used in the best way
possible for the continued dcvcl p
ment of the country or whether
they are being abused under a sys-
TEN which is detrimental to such de-
velopment and by which the only
present value of the land is being
rGpidly destroyed.
At present the vacant public lands
are theoretically open commons, free
to all citizens hut as a matter of fact
a large proportion have been parceled
out by more or less definite compactS
or agreements among the various in
terests. These tacit agreements are
continually being violated. The
