LITTLE PROGRESS IN CHAMPION
SHIP TODAY AND
TOMORROW.

Today and tomorrow are singularly
devoid of important football games in
he Northwest. The game here today
and the one between the Universities
of Oregon and Idaho are the only ones
in which an general interest IS felt at
all and the latter is the only game in
the Northwest this week which has
any bearing on the intercollegiate
championship.
The game here today is unimportant
from the standpoint of determining the
real strength of Whitman's team and
her chance in the northwest race 1oi
championship this year. or course
University of Washington Walloped the
Clubmen two weeks ago, but the u
had her best team in the field ana
Multnomah had a much weaker team
than will meet the local bunch 10
day. They have several new players
and have two weeks more Of practlce'
Whitman. too, is much below her nor
NAL strength, with Cooke and fhli-
brook out of the game. So, in rea1ty'
the result of today's game means III
tie in the way of determining what
the Missionaries will do the rest of the
esason.
The game at Portland tomorrow pc
tween the two universities means
more. One or the other will be put out
of the running for the championship
and if is the general opinion that this
will not be Oregon. If Oregon peats
Idaho, that will let the latter schooi
out of it for the season. II ldaho peat9
Oregon. that will leave the Northwest
championship in good shape, as Pull
man and Whitman will both meet III" :
no, but have no game scheduled WITH
Oregon. This is unlikely, however ana
there promises to be the usual WoruS
contest for the championship after the
gridiron battles have ended. oregon
and w. S. C. are not likely TO coihe
together in case Whitman Is oealeh
Thanksgiving day. But If "hl'ii"i
wins Thanksgiving day, it is prooa-
BILE that she will get post season
game with the university.
Washington will play the Chema"a"
Indians tomorrow, but as they 90 ho'
expect to beat the university, 1t VIII
mean little unless something uheA-
pected turns up. W. S. {. plays ho
game tomorrow However, the gaines
turn out the playing will determine u
oreater extent than ever before Wha1
the new rules mean to football, ana II
for no other reason than this, To-Day
and tomorrow's games will be watcheu
with interest.

TEAM 80 POUNDS
HAS BIG ADVANT-
AGE OVER MISSIONARIES
IN BEEF.

On the Ankeny field this afternoon
the first big game of the football sea-
son is being played. Whitman's speedy
bunch is battling for victory with the
giants representing the Multnomah
Athletic club of Portland
Just what the outcome of the game
will be is impossible to say as the
referees whistle opening the game
press this afternoon. But the game will
be a good one and the score will not be
as lOp sided as some of the hackers of
the big team think. Whitman is going
in to win from team weighing about
80 pounds to the man more than does
her team and if she wins it will be by
superior playing around the ends and
fancy plays which the team has but
lately worked up.
The Multnomah team arrived this
morning. Big heavy mer, every one of
them, and their avoirdupois does not
look like fat as much as it does like
SOlld Drawn Inc team is Dig one
and averages in weight something like
202 pounds to the man. One little fell

beam at 220, stripped weight.

not depend on weight, but will have to
run The visitors off their feet to win.

pounds. the big tackle. PhilbroOk, who

NO PASSENGERS
FROM CULDESAC
Accident to Engine and
Shortage Of Water
the Cause
Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller
CULDESAC, Idaho, Jan. 3O.-The
mixed train from Lewiston had to be
abandoned en- route yesterday after
noon as the engine had a mishap to
its machinery and was in danger of
running out of water if it used a suffi- =
cient amount to keep up steam neces-
sary to pull the freight cars and pas
senger coaches up the long grade
When the accident happened to the
engine the train was sidetracked, and
the locomotive proceeded to Culdesac c
with but one freight car. 1t was i'm
possible to get water there, as the city
is experiencing a water famine. and
the engine returned to Lewiston by
the use of as little steam as possible.
The train crew refused to take any
passengers on the return trip, as they
did not know whether they would ever
reach Lewiston The result was that
about a score of men who intended
coming down to witness the prize fight
were forced to curb their desires and
remain at home.

MANY PROTESTS
ARE COMING IN
Sentiment Against County,
Division Growing
Stronger

The protest against county division
grows with the returns from the out
morning from Russell precinct car
ried 109 names out of a possible 1876.
and another petition is still receiving
signatures in that precinct.
Word from Greer, Weippe. Fraser
and Pierce is to the effect that the
protest is being signed by nine tenths
of the citizens and that the general
expression is that of vigorous protest.
All sections of the proposed Lolo
county that do not at present make
Nez Perce their trading center, are op-
posed to the segregation. They make
the point in argumet that with Nez
Perce county seat, that the commits
sioners of the new county would nat
urally favor building roads that lead
now find it to their better advantage
to haul their grain and do their
marketing at other points. which after
the division, would be outside the
county, would find that their high
ways would receive but little atten-
tion.
They argue also that they have now
reached point in the old county when
taxation will be lowered, and that they
could not reasonably expect lower tax
alton for years to come in the news
counties but rather an increase Of
taxation.
The local committees will hold
meeting this afternoon to consider
ways and means to keep up the fight.
" Is likely that some one will be chos-
en to 90 to Boise when the petitions
