WILLIAMS AND WATSON HIRED
Coach and Trainer Retained by Ames
For Five Years.

AmeS, Dec. 21.-Ames athletics are
safe for another five years at least.
Clyde Williams and Jack Watson nave
both signed contracts for that length
Of time and the students are jubilant
over it.
Williams will coach the base ball
and football teams. and Watson will
coach the track team and look after the
condition of all the athletes. This
means that Ames will continue to make
the excellent showing in athletics she
has made in the last WI years.
1t is hoped that Ames and Iowa will
get together on the track this spring. A
contract has been sent to Iowa City, but
as yet it a not been signed.
With the beginning of next semester
basket ball will be added to the list of
college sports. The armory In Ames
has been rented for the basket ball
season and will be fitted up with the
necessary paraphernalia. This is in the
nature Of an experiment with the ath-
letic council. Nearly every college in
the state but Ames has a basket ball
team, and from foot ball to base ball
Ames is athletically dead. The build
ing costs the council 1925 a month. so
basket ball will have to be a success
from the start if it is continued.

Hampton, Dec. 21.-Has Hampton an
affinity" case? Some people are in
clined to attribute the sudden severing
of home ties by p. G. Williams, a res
taurant and hotel man, as possibly
having some connection with an "af-
finity." 1t is stated that Williams, who
has always borne a good reputation
and was well thought of in Hampton,
| told his wife that he was going to
! Oskaloosa to collect some accounts
that he had against the Iowa Central
Railroad company for board from the
railroad men who had stopped at his
eating house in Hampton. Shortly
after his departure, his wife is said
to have received word from her hus-
band that he was gone forever" and
that it was useless to try and find him.
He is said to have taken several
hundred dollars with him. and left
numerous debts behind him. 1t is
thought probable by friends of the
family that domestic troubles led up
to the mans sudden resolve to cut
loose.

Dubuque, Dec. 2l.-The recently her

to have savored too much of a wild

From all indications the Consolidate

pose of developing the mineral re-
sources of the Tri-State and Joplin
fields. has failed to progress as salts

and as a result Il rumor is current that

The Telegraph-Herald has heard the
persistent criticism hurled at console
dated Zin and sought to secure infor-
nation for h public which would deal
with plans of the concern.
A personal letter was addressed to
Mr.. Wallace Fl. Hopkins. the promoter
of h gigantic corporation, and Ger
tain questions We're asked relative to
the inside" Of the company.
In an issue of the Chicago Tribune,
and it was reproduced in many other
papers, the following add. appeared:
The zinc and lead mines of the
Consolidated Zinc company actually
earned and paid in dividends for 1906
the sum of $1,750, 900, which is more
than 20 per cen on the total cost of
all properties included in this consoli-
dalton, and the economies that will
result from this consolidation will
amount to not less than so per cent.
and therefore their increased dividends
will be at least twice what they are
today, even on present production"
The Telegraph-Herald mining edi-
tor asked Mr.. Hopkins to name the
dividend paying properties. the reason
for Incorporating in Arizona, and var
ious other questions.
A reply was received with the in
formation that the desired information
would be forthcoming within three
days. Two weeks have passed and
not a line has been received.
