Athletics were completely trodden

called a success and the contest was
too great a farce to even test the

The visitors experienced consid-

kick and Cook carried the ball
through the first touchdown after
three minutes of play. A short time
later. Cook bro6e through the line
and easily evading the men in the
open field riced across the line for

The Power of Imagination

Monday evening about 1915 a
bright light was seer in the Eastern
heavens moving slowly to the South
west. The report had reached Lex
ington that the balloons which had
started from st. Louis at four o'clock
we're headed this way, and so it was
easy to identify the luminary as n
Of the racing aerostats.
The entire population of Block ~
turned out to gaze at the wonderful
sight. Steadily the glowing body ad-
vanced, mounting higher in the sky,
nickering constantly, at times ceasing
to CLEAN, but persi sting slowly and
with determination in its course.
With awe the gazers gazed and soon
one of the number discovered another
balloon in the Southeast. Then an
other moving light was seen and then
another until frally eight of the con-
testants had been identified.
There was some argument about
seven of the ballons, but no one dis
puted the fact that the big light first
seen was not star and moved per-
ceptibly and therefore was in a ball
loon. Long before it reached the
zenith clouds covered the sky and it
was lost from view.
Last night the sky was clear and
thu big balloon was exactly in the
same place and looked very much
like Alpha in the constellation of
Lyra. 1t moved again in a south
westerly direction in accordance With
natural laws.

The great cataract In the New River
formed in the Imperial Valley, Cali
fornia, by the escape Of the waters OF
the Colorado River, has been likened
to Nigara Falls 1t varies from 80 to
100 feet In height, and is from 1,50O
to 1,S00 yards broad. 1t likewise re-
sembles Niagara in eating backward,
or upstream, but its progress In this
direction is extremely rapid, amount
ing to about one-third of mile per
day. This arises from the Fact that
the channel Of the stream Is cut
through the fragile material deposited
centuries ago by the Colorado River at
the head of the Gulf Of California. 1t
is predicted that If the escape of the
waters Of the Colorado is not arrested
before the cataract has cut back far
enough to unite the New River and
the Alamo River, the Imperial Valley
will be entirely, deprived Of its irriga-
ton streams. This cataract may be
called 'man-made," since its existence
is due to his interference with the wa
ters of the Colorado.
