Spokane, Wash, Oct. 23.-Minne-
sofa alumni living in Washington,

]. M. Lilligren, manager of the Ever

graduates of the Gopher state col
lege now residens of Spokane, are
boosting for post-season football
game between Minnesota and Wash

is every indication just now that ar
rangements will be completed to pull
off the contest at Recreation Park ut
the close of the regular season.
Donald S. Blair, assistant cereal
ist at the Washington State College,

says that Frank Reed, manager Of
football for Minnesota, favors the
proposition, AMI if the slight pre-
judice agains post-season games IS
overcome there will be no difficulty
in arranging the details General
plans have already been made for
bringing the faculty and student
body of 1900 from Pullman, and
excursions from various parts of
Eastern Washington, Northern Ida
no, Western Montana, Northeastern
Oregon and Southeastern British Co
lumbia are talked of, while it is ex-
pected the Puget Sound and Pacific

gren has received letters from sew
eral hundred alumni of Minnesota in
the northwest, and they are heartily
in favor of bringing Minnesotas

a widely known and respected dairy
rancher, ling near McMinnville,
Ore, where he was arrested the
morning Of October 90, as a shrewd
bond swindler, for whom the Pink
ertons have been searching almost
a quarter of century. Oficers of
the agency, representing the Ameri-
can Bankers and the Washington
State Bankers associations, declare
they have evidence showing that,
while operating as Oscar Will, H. o.
Hood and 20 other aliases, the aged
farmer succeeded in defrauding
banks from Nova Scotia to the Pa
cific coast, out of thousands of dol
lars yearly. Crosby was arrested on
the charge of defrauding the Wash

fering school bonds purporting to
have been issued by District No. 4,
Camp Crook, s. D., the paper being
accompanied by letter bearing the
signature of w. w. Brown, cashier

membership tag of the American
Bankers association. They say
Crosby used the machine in filing
in the bonds. Crosby denies the
charge and has retained counsel to
make fight for his release.

from Quincy to Beverley, thence
down the river towards the Priest
Rapids country, across to Yakima up
to Ellensberg and home over the
mountains. The pair of travellers
struck the old Ellensberg trail only
to find it closed by fences in many
places, which necessitated wide de-
tours and great loss Of time. They
reached the crest of mountain
from which they could see the lights
of Wenatchee about o'clock at
night; but being off the trail it
seemed inadvisable to continue on
in the darkness, so they camped on
the mountain side for the night, and
finished the home journey next
morning. The distance of over 800
miles was covered in eight days.
"The several irrigation projects
we saw included some fine tracts of
land; but the really good land is
just as expensive as Wenatchee val
ley SOIL The tracts that are cheap
usually have something the matter
with them or they wouldn't be
cheap. The landlord land is al
right, but it's about 40 miles off the
railroad; you have to go to it by
steamer on the river.

sat armed on top of the coach, and
two more followed about 100 yards
behind, always on the watch. / once
had my lead horse shot by a high

speed, shot through the heart before
he fell. Those were stirring days,
way back in the early SOS, almost

out of commission. We used to
carry IL passengers, with their bag
