associations, a distinct southern
epoch of modern civilization.


epoch of modern civilization.
AS the south develops, as new
corners from the northern states
become permanent residents, SO
the demands for better facilities,
for factories, mills and manu-
features have increased. In trip
southwest a varied panorama of
forest and field, hustling towns and
cities, is presented. Even a fleet
ing glance from the car window
gives the traveller an idea of the
southwests wonderful resources,
as yet but partially developed.
From St. Louis to Kansas City to
Galveston and San Antonio is a
stretch of more than thousand
miles Of territory, capable Of sus-
tanning a population many times
that Of the present day.
All over the southwest, cities
and towns are growing up, expand
ing, requiring more and demand
ing more.
Briefly the condition is this:
The south is really in need of moth
ing save northern people. More
men are wanted. In the southwest
are vast areas of unimproved land,
land not yielding the crops OF
which it is capable. The same
thing, in a different way is true OF
the towns. Few lines of business
are adequately represented. In
the southwest, land is cheap and
rent is high. In Iowa lands
selling in the market for sixty to
seventy-fve dollars an acre are
rented for only three dollars per
acre, while in the cotton belt of the
south, land that can be bought for
thirty or thirty five dollars pei
acre rents for six or seven dollars
per acre The development Of
southern oil fields, furnishing cheap
fuel is attracting the attention Of
manufacturers every where and
new and important industries are
springing up at every point. The
mighty strength ofthe great south
west is, perhaps, nowhere more
vigorously and strikingly illus
trated than in the Oklahoma
country. The union of Indian
Territory and Oklahoma will mark
the beginning of a new era of good
feeling. 1t is now complete in al
but the name. To this union
Oklahoma brings for her dover
excellent and abundant resources
for education, comprising two
million acres of rich prairie land
Indian Territory brings to this
union the richest and most varied
mineral resources known to any
state. Above all, each brings a
citizenship rich in resources Of
character, intelligence patriotism
and integrity.
The country from Springfield,
Missouri to St. Louis is not
attractive to the home maker, but
the country from St. Louis to
Kansas City along the line of the
Rock Island railroad is one of the
finest to be found in any state. The
soil is excellent and the farms
pr sent every indication of thrift
and prosperity.
This morning in company with
my wife, we start on trip through
the northwest beginning at St
Paul and reaching to the Pacific
coast. If the reader of these lines
would like to have a sketch or
description of anything pertaining
to this strip of country or along
the Pacific coast | wish they would
write me stating about what they
would like and | will do all in my
power to furnish them the required
information. Address me at Red
rock, Montana.

Interiors Scored an Easy Victory

Interior jumped into third place when
they trimmed the Sailors in easy fashion on
the White Lot yesterday afternoon by q
score of 10 to s.
The same ailment that has caused every
defeat sustained by the Sailors this season
was again in evidence and was responsible
for the loss of this one. Out OF the half
dozen new and erratic pitchers tried out
by Capt. Hughes this season, Bate. with
half game as evidence. proved the steadi-
est, and he was sent in to do the twirling
yesterday. In the first inning he was as
steady as a veteran and the fans nerves
began to Jingle with the anticipation of
great contest This was not for long.
however, as in the very next session he
started with gift to first to Erwin. Carr
attempted to sacrifice, but was safe when
Bate started to throw to second and then
hesitated too long, both men being safe.
Then he began to soar. Madden forced
Erwin at third on a drive that would have
gone safe but for a marvellous stop by
Dougherty. Wilcox was passed. filling lie
bases, all three runners moving up on
wild pitch Then Bateman was passed.
filling all three corners again Barnhart
brought them all in with hard drive to

to make third. Langford made the third

scored another in the third In the fourth
the real ascension was made, and with one
down. a result of fine one-hand catch
passes and passes succeeded hits until the
Indians had totaled ten runs. 1t was in
this inning that CANNED was substituted
for Battle, but II was six to one and half
dozen of the other. With the score 10 to
l and the game beyond all hopes Bryan
went in In the sixth, and from that time
on the Indian could not get man past
second base. The Sailors pulled hard in
the last few innings but the game was too
far gone. Dougherty played a brilliant
fielding game for Navy and cut down drives
that looked good for two and three bases.
Erwin of the Reds fattened his batting
average considerably, getting three hits out
Of four times up.
The banner crowd of the season is ex-
pected on the White Lot this afternoon,
when the two leaders, Post Office and Agri-
culture, cross bats for the first time. The
game will certainly be for blood, and
pitchers battle is looked forward too. 1t
Will be Haring against Sanders. and as
they are the contestants for the pitching
honors of the league 1t will certainly prove
an interesting contest.

The finals In the doubles of the middle

took place upon the courts Of the Bachelors

Doyle and Doyle and John c. Davidson and

pair won still they did not show the light
ming play that has characterized a great
deal of their past work upon the tennis
courts of the city
There was a good gallery in attendance
and shortly after the start of the play II
could be seen that Davidson and Glaze
brook were not showing up in the play as
they have done in the past. That III y have
not hit the pace this season in their playing
was manifest throughout the sets and for
this reason the Doyle brothers seemed TO
have the best of the argument.
The first set went to the Doyle brothers
in Ga and during the games their opponents
tried hard to win, but were outplayed. In
the second set. the score was 81 and during
this set the Doyle brothers seemed TO carry
everything before them. as Indicated by the
score of the set. In the final set Glaze
brook and Davidson braced again, but they
could not overcome their opponents and the
contest went to Doyle and Doyle by ca.

The Duplex team put up a weird fielding
exhibition in their game with the Blanks
yesterday and were easily defeated, Il to 8,
the winners going into first place by their
victory. Duplex somewhat made up for
their many errors by batting the ball hard

come.
Two pitchers were used up by Duplex but
neither was accorded much support Ravens
