ness College Team.
Last night the basket ball team of
the Pendleton Business college won
from the high school second team by
score of II to Il. However,
| throughout the most of the game the
score was favorable to the high school
boys, and victory was snatched from
them by several successful throws
made by the Business college team
near the close of the second half
In the game last night the Busi-
ness college team had the advantage
of age and experience, several of their
players being members of the Com
mercial association team, while Phys.
ical Director Wilson also played with
them. In view of this the second
team certainly did well to hold their
rivals as they did.
The lineup of the teams was as
follows
High School Seconds-Cooley, CEN
ter: Means and Johns, guards; Boiler
man and Dickson, forwards.
Business College-Wilson, center,
Rever, White and Goodell. guards;
White and Penland, forwards
For the high school team five
points were made by Cooley, five by
Dickson and four by Bollerman.
White made eight points for the Bus
mess college, Penland, two, Wilson,
two and Woodell two. One point was
awarded the mon a foul.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST PESTS.
Everybody Must Spray Fruit Trees in
Northern Idaho.

William Mohl, deputy fruit inspect
or, left for the Spalding and Sweet
water sections today to look after the
orchards, says the Lewiston Teller.
He expects to start spraying in this
valley by the first of the month and
desires to call attention to the fact
that the state board of horticulture
has adopted resolutions that the es-
sential ingredients of the lime, sui
phur and salt spray were not to lie
modified. but used as directed.
For the last two years there has
been some experimenting with modi-
fications of the original compounds. -
said Mr.. Mohl, "but the spray as mod
ified has not proven effective and the
orchardist who sticks to the old COM
pound is taking no chances.
"There is to be no let up in the
campaign against the pests. The or
chards in this valley are in good shape
but eternal vigilence is the price we
must pay for such conditions. The
spraying must be as thoroughly done
this year as it has in any year in the
past"

academies and high schools in the
state will be invited to attend. Meets
of like nature have been held here be-

is as great as in collegiate contests.
Manager Allen, of the baseball
team, announced that three games

SNOW RAPIDLY MELTING.
Warm Days of This Week Diminishing
the Snow on the Mountains.

Unless there is heavy fall of snow
later in the year, there will be but
little high water this spring and little
snow left to swell the streams used in
irrigating.
There is but little over a foot of
snow left out of the timber on the
summit of the mountains while in the
heavy timber there is but two feet
and it Is now rapidly melting.
The snow which Is now lying on the
mountains fell early in the winter and
one time there was five feet at the
summit. Should no more snow fall at
the head waters of the streams, there
will be decided scarcity of water for
irrigating purposes this season.

RACE FIGHT AT wICHTrA.
Separate School Proposition the FOun-
dalton for Row.

Wichita, Feb 28.=The Beacon
says: Negroes and whites clashed at
the Park school yesterday. A row,
in which brickbats, rocks and cinders
aided by fists took prominent part,
took place in that vicinity during the
entire afternoon. The combat Waxed
warm a times and the base Of oper-
atoms was changed quite often Re
Inducements poured in at Intervals,
and the result of the battle was in
doubt when the shadows of night
came and when both sides withdrew.
None we're killed and none were
mOrtally injured, although several
were bruised. Some of the white
lads went home with eyes almost as
black as their dusky opponents.
The fight started on the grounds OF
the Park school, when a negro and a
white boy got into a dispute over a
game. The negro boy dared the white
to fight him. The latter declined as
''it was against the rules to fight on
the school grounds The black lad
made a pass" at him anyway. The
white boy ran, but was oVertaken. He
was getting severe dFubbing when
one Of his friends pulled off the dark
assailant.
The negroes held a caucus, sum
moned several more of their race who
were not members of the school,
showed the whites Of their eyes,
swOre a little. threatened, and finally
school was dismissed the Two factions
came together Then the combat
ragged in earnest.
Several of the white boys were
bruised considerably. Their black ag-
gressors Jared little better. Several
of the negroes were suspended from
school and warrants probably will be
sworn out for those who DO not go
to school.
Since the separate school proposi-
ton has been agitated the negro par
ents have talked to their children
about it, and a feeling of resentment
has arisen against the whites. This
was shown by the statement of a lit
tie girl last week. She said: My
mamma said that no white teacher
should ever punish me" Such talk
encourages the children TO be IN
manageable.
The school board is now figuring on
the old fire house at the corner Of
Thirteenth street and st. Francis ave
nue. for the negro school. It is well
located and will be plenty large
enough to accommodate all the negro
children.

HART AND BURNS FIGHT.
The Two Heavyweights in a Twent!
Round Bout at Los Angeles.

Round Bout at Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, Cal. Feb. 2s.-"I will
win before the fight is half over
Tommy Burns.
Burns will never last ten rounds. -
Marvin Hart.
With two heavyweights talking this
way there IS sure to be the hottest kind
of a fight in the ring at the Pacific
Athletic club tonight.
Burns viii weigh ten pounds more
than in any Of his other bouts, and he
says he will lose none of his speed. He
is now considerably over ITO. Hart viii
tip the scales at 1876.
Betting is livening up, with Hart
strong favorite, at 10 to 8. A few bets
were placed today that Hart would win
inside Of Is rounds.
Harris trainers say the big kentuck-
ian will prove surprise from the staho-
point of cleverness.
The fact that he will be outweighed
has not caused Burns to lose any OF
his confidence. He has been working
with plenty Of ginger and will rely
upon his speed to keep away and cut
Hart to pieces before the limit is
reached. The interest in the heavy
weight battle is shown by the advance
sale, which has reached $4,000. More
orders for seats are coming in from
the surrounding towns than ever be-
fore and Manager McCarey would not
be surprised to see a crowd equal to
that which saw the Herrera
bout There will be the usual pair of
six round preliminaries. AxteH and
Lehey viii furnish one and kid KEEL
sey and kid" Dalton the other.

Want THE TAXES

the Standard.
After Separate Assessment From
That Of Railroad Board.
! DIFFERENCE OF $4,000
Only the Pipe Real Estate In
eluded in First Lot, -
Hope to Secure Taxes on sgygnk
Farms Also.

Iola, Kan. FEB. 28.-rhe Record
says:
The Prairie Oil & Gas company will
have to fight the county to prevent a
separate assessment of their Allen
county property from the assessment
made by the state board OF railway
commissioners. There is a difference
Of $500 in the amount Of money
which the company would have to pay
in taxes and naturally they do not care
to jar loose from that sum without a
fight.
The company claims that all their
property has been assessed by the state
board OF railway commissioners. The
law provides that this shall be done.
All real estate used for pipe line pur-
poses is included in this assessme nt. ac-
cording to the law. But neither real
estate used as a tank farm is included
IS a matter of doubt The real estate
for pipe line purposes includes only the
real estate on which the pipe line is
located Tank farms may be regarded
as separate property.
The Standard OIL company owned a
tank farm in Wilson county near their
refinery at Neodesha for many years
and 81 Is said that the company has
paid into one small school district $685.
600 In taxes within the past ten years
The district is now 50 rich that they
have no idea what to do with the
money District NO. II, lying in Hum
boldt township and in which the Hum
boIdt tank farm is located, is anxious
to get connected with q source Of reve-
nue. such as the Neodesha district dis
covered when the tank farm was To-
Gated there.
Sheriff Richardson has an execution
on the property OF the Prairie Oil &
Gas company and the question OF
whether he shall serve II is still IN
doubt. The officials are waiting for a
certified list of the property turned in
by the company to the state assessors
II It includes the tank farm they fear
they are UP against a losing fight. But
81 # does not specifically include It they
will levy the assessment and ALLOW the
matter to be decided by the courts.
