BIG BASKETBALL
PLUM IN SIGHT
WILL THE WHITMAN BOYS BE
GAME TO TRY TO PICK 1T
FROM THE TREE?

If arrangements can be perfected
Whitman college S1ay have the chance
of playing for the basketball cham
pionship of the United States here this
winter. The bunch of fast ball tos-
sers from Muscatine, Iowa, have ar
ranged a tour this winter which will
include a trip from coast to coast,
playing games from New York to San
Francisco and Seattle. This is sup
poseGly the fastest bunch of basketball
players in the United States and they
are looking for game out this way.
Whitman could get a game with this
sary guarantee and as by the time the
Iowa boys get this far on their trip
Whitman will have. beaten everything
in this part of the country, the Musca-
tine team would be glad to get a game
here.
The Muscatine five have beaten the
best and most famous teams in the
United States, including the Meteors
and the Crescents, famous the country
over. They will leave for the eastern.
part of the trip December 2, and will
play their way east to New York,
where they will meet four of the fast
est teams of that metropolis.
South and West.
Then they will play through the
southern states and out to the west,
getting several dates in the coast cit
les, including Seattle, Tacoma, Port
land and other towns on the seaboard.
They, will then come back this way and
after playing Spokane would probably
be glad to get a game here.
This would cost no more than any
other game and would be valuable
one in many respects. In the first place,
if the Muscatine team is successful,
and it's chances are good, it would give
Whitman a chance at something ma
tional in the way Of reputation. Again.

Atlantic seaboard, for a long time.
On recommendation of Robert
Watchorn, immigration commissioner
at Ellis Island. New York, Miss Helen
NJ. Bulls has been appointed an i'm
migration inspector for the particular
purpose of developing information re
garding this traffic. Miss Bulls re

Travellers Aid Society, and has done
much work along philanthropic and

Commissioner Watchorn says that
despite the scrutiny with which i'm
migrants are examined as to their

women of non-English speaking races
are being imported for immoral pur.
poses. The method by which this is
accomplished is so well devised that
the victims of the importers nearly
always avoid detection by reason of
the thorough coaching they receive
prior to their embarkation for this
country.
Mr.. Watchorn suggests that Miss
Bulls is in position to furnish the
department conclusive proof OF the
existence of the traffic. This would
enable the immigration officials not

NEWSPAPERS FAST EATING
UP OUR SPRUCE FORESTS

II ElE rapidity with which the news
paper is eating up the American
spruce forests has caused some alarm
who have been looking into the thing
The conversion of spruce timber into
paper is going on at the rate of 1885,
900 feet for every working day In the
year. And most of this timber is cut
in the United States. although a few
wood pulp logs are imported from
Canada.
During 1905 the newspaper demand

featured white paper This was one

mills in the country. To make 1t re-
CURED an army of $4,000 men, who
drew 100000 In wages. The mills
used raw material amounting to 1.300,-
900 cords, representing the cut of
about 100000 acres.
The present tariff on lumber causes
this enormous drain to fall almost en-
tirely upon the forests of the United
States. 1t has been suggested that
it would be wise political and eco
nomic move to remove this lumber
duty, and let the paper mills begin to
eat into the almost limitless forests of
Canada.
Incidentally the price of paper
would drop some, and the paper trust
would not have quite the monopoly on
