THE PARENT CONCERN
AND ITS GREAT HOARD

the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
Railway companies in California, ].
M. Brewer, freight claim agent for the
Southern Pacific, was examined in an
attempt to show that his road had
granted rebate payments to interstate
shippers and the company had sought
to evade responsibility under the fed.
eral law by making the rebates apply
to shipments within the state.
No Interstate Rebates.
Up to adjournment 1t had not been
shown that the rebates were in reality
granted in interstate shipments. Over
fifty concerns, it is claimed, were
granted rebates.
All Granted Last Year.
Most of the 300 transactions shown
took place during 1906. No proof was
given of any rebate claim presented
during the present year.

lows:
Good Small Navy.
We now have a good navy, not yet
large enough for our needs, but OF ex-
cellent material. Where a navy is as
small as ours, the cardinal rule must
be that the battleships shall nj be
separated. This year l am happy to
say that we shall begin a course which
l hope will be steadily followed here
after, that. namely, of keeping the bat
tleship fleet alternately in the Pacific
and in the Atlantic. Early in Deem
Der the fleet will begin its voyage to
the Pacific, and it will number,
friends, among its formidable fighting
craft three great ~battleships, named,
respectively, the Illinois, the Missis-
sippi and the Kentucky.
IT'S a National Fleet.
1t is q national fleet in every sense
of the term, and its welfare should be,
and l firmly believe Is, as much a mat
ter Of pride and concern for every man
in the farthest interior of our country
as for every man on the seacoast. A
long ocean voyage is mighty good
training; and not the least good 1t

where u naval program needs

the voyage will have one good effect

FIRST GAME
Of FOOTBALL
CONDITIONAL FIRST TEAM TO BE
TRIED AGAINST THE OTHER
TWENTY-THREE MEN.
Largest Number of Players Interested
in the History of the University,
and Some Excellent Sport Prom
ised-Schedule of Games Already
Decided Upon.

The first game of the season will be
played on the university campus Sat
urday, at $3.50 p. M. The football
squad at the university now numbers
thirty-three men, the greatest number
that has engaged in this sport in tho
history of the university. Next Satur-
day there will be a game upon the cam
pus that will he the first exhibition of
the game of football under the new
rules held in this city. One game was
played last year, but both teams col
fined their play to the old style game.
Conditional First Team.
A conditional first team has been
formed and they will be tried out and
must make good against the balance
of the football squad. Both teams, un-
der the direction of Mr.. Gilman, have
developed new formations, trick plays,
the forward pass ana quarterback
kick, and he game on Saturday ought
to prove most interesting. 1t has been
suggested that, to equaiize the n
of victory, the consolidated team will
have to carry the ball but five yards in
four tries and the first team will be
required to make ten. This may be fol.
lowed, and from the play of the last
few days, it will give the first team a
hard proposition.
Additional Equipment.
The large number of students that
have turned out for practice this year
has made it necessary to procure adj
ditional football equipment and the
proceeds of the game on Saturday will
be used for that purpose. The hrst
game of the season last year entailei
a debt Of 500 which had to be remoN'
ed by the proceeds of games of baske
ball. With such good prospects OF a
fine team this year, it is hoped that
the game will be literally patronized.
Schedule of Games.
The following will be the schedule
of games as far as definitely arranged,
Fort d. A. Russell, October II, 1T
