COLLEGE ATHLETES
Defeated IN OREGON
.. A. c. and u. of 0. Each Take
Fall OCT of the State College
Track Team.

State College athletes have been
testing strength and skill with their
Oregon neighbors this week. meeting
the Oregon Agricultural College team
at Corvallis Tuesday, and the Univer-
sity of Oregon team, at Eugene, yes
terday.
At Corvallis, our boys were defeat
ed by score of So 1-2 to 62 1-2. This
meet should have been won by W. S.
c.. but Oregon water or climate had a
bad effect on the boys, and nearly all
the team was more or less out of COM
mission, not entering at all in three
events, and not running the relay.
The meet yesterday was lost by the
score of SO to ga, the result not being
unexpected. as with Kelly in the
sprints, and two or three other stars,
Eugene was picked to win. The State
College men took three firsts in this
meet, Thomle winning the 440 and the
$3.50, running the latter race in the col
lege record time of 2 min. 2-5 sec.
Johnson also won the mile race in
a ;35, college record time.
Thayer's northwest record in the
discus throw, of 119 feet inches,
was broken by an Oregon man who put
the disc out 120 feet. The 100 yard
dash was run by Kelly, of Oregon, in
10 fiat, although he has run it in bet
ter time on numerous occasions before.
The same runner made the 220 in q
2-5 Sec, a northwest record.
The baseball team has also been en-
tour during the week, defeating Ritz
vile Wednesday, the score being 13 to
II. Thursday Sprague was taken in
to camp, 5 to 2, and yesterday Cheney
capitulated, to 2. Today the team
will play a game with a team in Spo-
kane.

PLEASED WITH COLLEGE STU
DENTS WORK

A short time ago student in the
horticultural department at the state
college was sent to Chester to do a
job of grating. This was done at
the request of the Spokane owner of
the orchard, who has the following to
say in regard to the character of the
work which was done:
When first opened correspond
ence with you | though that the wages
you quoted, $4 per day. was excessive.
but after watching the young man at
work | consider he was cheap at $40
per day. Of all the hundreds of CRAFTS
made on my place | do not believe
that there are over dozen which are
not growing. 1t was the most sue
cessful job of grating ever done on
my palce. Next spring / will have
more work of the same character and
would like to obtain another Young
man having the same ability and an
equally extensive knowledge of the
work. -

U. OF l. WAS EASY MEAT.

The start of the first intercollegiate
game of baseball between the Univer-
sity of Idaho and the State College
Tuesday afternoon indicated a close
and exciting game, but before the UNI
pire called the game off in the ninth
it had developed into swatfest on the
part of the W. sc. boys. Lee Sam
uels, the eX-lndian twirler, and the
yman who was f1outed as a possibility
for the Northwest league, sent the
shoots over for Idaho. A protest had
been registered by the state college
manager against the ex-leaguer be-
cause of professionalism. but when it
came to a show down it looked like no
game or play with the protested man
in the box. This was done. and the
way the varsity boys swatted the
sphere, just to show that the Eek
pro. - had no terrors for them was ex-
ceedingly pleasant for the home root
ers.
In the seventh inning Samuels
walked Crane when he already had
two men on bases and two out. He
then proceeded to put CARED out of
business by sending a curve into the
lads ribs. This forced Brown home
from third.
1t was the eighth inning, however,
that kept the rooters wild with excite
ment. Six clean hits were had off
the bush-leaguer, one of which was
three-bagger and another two-bagg-
er. The result of this bunch of hits
netted the W.S.C. team five runs.
When Idaho came up to bat in the
ninth they went out in one. two. three
order. The game ended 13 to | in
favor of the Washington State College,
which still gives them a good chance
at the intercollegiate championship.
The detailed score follows:

TO STUDY FARM MANAGEMENT.

The state college department of
agriculture now has under advisement
the establishment of system of work
in farm management, which is to be
so arranged that it will have to do
with each separate farming or stock
raising interest in the state of Wash
ington. Professor Elliott has taken
up the organization of this work in
accordance with numerous suggestions
from prominent farmers and CONNER
cial clubs of Washington.
The plan which will probably be
followed is to secure large tract of
land, place modern farm buildings
upon it, and get a man of education
and rustling ability to carry on diver
sified farming. Professor Elliott said
that it was expected that the work
would be established somewhat as sug-
gested by the communications which
have been received. The endeavor will
be made to establish demonstrative
farms" in such parts of the state as
may be necessary to touch each of the
varied farming interests. and each
farm will be in charge of an expert,
the experiment station retaining a
general supervision over the work.

NUMBER "a
PROLIFIC SHEEP.

A. j. Whitten, the we'll known
farmer west of town. has a bunch of
pure bred Shropshire sheep that are
doing their full share to prove that
there's money in diversified farming.
lhe q ewes in the flock. besides re-
turning an average of ten pounds of
wool per head, gave birth to FORTY
lambs, of which number 80 lived and
are strong. handsome animals. Four
OF the ewes had triplets. nine of this
twelve lambs surviving. The increase
IN the flock is thus but one lamb short
OF 100 per cent. The Herald has
years subscription for the man who
can show flock with a better record.

INCREASED VALUE OF FARM
LANDS.

Two and half billion dollars is the
astounding increase in the value of
farm lands that has taken place with
in five years in states on or tributary
to the Union Pacific railroad. Seven
teen states so grouped showed farm
values, including buildings. of S., 692,
230,872 in 1900. Five years later, &C
cording to statistics gathered by the
United States census, values of farm
properties had increased to $8. .241, 1872, :
864, an advance of nearly as per cent.
The Individual percentages of increase
vary from 119 per cent in Wyoming to
"a per cent for California. the higher
records being held by Washington, 68
per cent; Nebraska, rs per cent; Ida
no So per cent; Texas 81 per cent !;
New Mexico 65 per cent.
In bulletin just issued by the Un-
ion Pacific railroad, in which these
statistics are presented, it is shown
that hay and grain farms have in
creased in value in the five year per-
iod $758, 500, 900. Live stock farms
show an increase of over a billion dol
lars; fruit farms, SIS, 900, 900; vege-
table farms, $32, 900, 900; general farm
ing lands. S165, 900, 900.
Further analysis of the census fig
ures show the ratio of increase in val
ue of land in various branches of
farming. In Colorado, for example,
land. two-ffths of the income from
which is derived from sugar beet rails
ing, has increased $22 per acre in val
ue, or liz per cent. Farm lands in
Montana, two-ffths of the income
from which represented vegetable
growing, have increased So per cent in
value. In Oregon, the largest per-
centage of increase, So per cent, is
from sugar beet lands. In the state
of Washington the largest percentage
of increase, rs per cent, is from land,
two-fifths of the income from which is
represented by fruit.
For each state statistics are given
which indicate the kind of farming
that has produced the greatest increas-
es of values. sugar, hay and grain.

and general farming,

An ordinance was also introduced and
read first time providing that all
plumbers be licensed, the license fee
to be SIS per annum. Plumber Mat

protest to the passage of the ordi-

tax upon one business and not upon
another, and he and City Attorney
klmball entered into an extended dis
cussion of the merits of the case, Kim
ball stating that he had drawn the
ordinance at the request of Plumbing
inspector Swain. The council con-
cluded to take more time to investi-
gate the merits of the case, and did
not take the final action on the ordi-
nance.

An excellent illustration of the
advantages of early discing to conserve
moisture and preserve the tilth of the
soil that is not to be plowed till com
paratively late in the spring has just
been worked out on the college farm.
One piece of land that had not been
touched since the wheat harvest last
year was plowed May 10 and fitted i'm
mediately, but it was baked so hard
that it was almost impossible to bring
it into fit condition for seeding. An
other piece which was in much worse
condition was disced as early in the
spring as possible and plowed May ID,
and worked down Immediately. 1t
was found that the moisture had been
preserved quite completely and that
the soil was in excellent tilth, produc-
ing first class, moist, mellow seed-bed.
The practice of discing all ground that
is to be late spring -plowed should be
followed as much as possible. not only
to conserve the moisture and preserve
the tilth, but to induce termination of
foul seeds.

Seattle HIGH SCHOOL
WINS NTERSCHOLaSTIC
Oakesdale Athletes Made Excellent
Showing and Secured Second
Place.

Ihe Seattle high school, with a
bunch of fourteen husky young athlet-
es, cleaned up practically everything
in the finals of the third annual inter
scholastic track and field meet held
under the auspices of the Washington
State College Friday and Saturday of
last week. Unfavorable weather pre-
vented many of the preliminaries be-
ing run, but Saturday morning the
sky was clear and by afternoon every
thing but the finals had been cleaned
from the records.
The records of previous interscholas-
tic contests continued to be beaten as
event after event was pulled off. The
Seattle aggregation, and particularly
Coyle, Mullen, Anderson, Thompson
and Thayer, were the record breakers.
In many instances these men did better
work than had been done in the trian-
gular meet the week before, when
Whitman, the University of Idaho,
and the State College contested for
honors.
Oakesdale high school. which won
the meet at Whitman college two
weeks ago, captured second place and
the j. L. Harris cup. Everett Sc
cured the same number of points, II ,
but was not eligible for competing
for the smaller cup. having over 200
students. 1t was a great triumph for
the little Oakesdale school, as, elimi-
mating Seattle and Everett, they won
over representatives from nearly twice
as many cities as they did at Walla
Walla.
Spokane, the second largest high
school in the state, failed to secure a
single point, while their keen rival,
Lewiston, managed to land four. Pa
louse crowed over Spokane with the
pleasant knowledge that her young
sters had at least secured one tiny
point. About the only explanation
for Spokane's failure to score is the
fact that they had no stars, and il
certainly took a star to bring in first
or even a second. In nearly every
event the second and third place winn-
ers were compelled to make faster time
and better distance in the weights
and jumps than that which for two
years has stood as state college inter
scholastic records.
! The schools winning one or more
points in the meet are as follows :
Seattle, 81; Oakesdale. IL: Everett,
Il; Walla Walla, 10: Garfield, g.;
Lewiston, q Prosser, 4 ;Wenatchee, 8;
Charleston. 3; Palouse, l.
The competing schools which did
not score were Aberdeen. Centralia,
Colfax, Davenport, Ellensburg, Gold
endale, Hoquiam, North Yakima, OIL
ympia, Pomeroy, Spokane. Ritzville.
Rosalia, Standpoint, Sprague. Sunny
side, Tekoa, Waitsburg and Water
Vile.
The new records established were
as follows:
220 yard dash-22 4-5 sec.
440 yard dash-54 2-5 sec.
Half mile run-2:07 1-5.
120 yard hurdles-17 3-5 sec.
220 yard hurdles-27 2-5 sec.
Half mile relay :37.
Broad jump-21 feet inch.
High Jumps feet 1-2 inches.
Pole vau!t-10 feet inches.
Shot put--43 feet inch.
Hammer throw-140 feet inches.
