[. A. HIGH WILL
NOT PLAY RUGBY
ENGLISH GAME MEETS WITH
DISAPPR0vAL
Strong Eleven to Be Put on the Field
by Los Angeles Institution.
Hard Schedule of Games
Arranged

No Rugby for Los Angeles high. The
local academies, after a stormy meet
ing with ENJOYS from the Polytechnic
high school, have decided unanimous
ly that the good old American game
is more to their liking than the less
energetic English sport At no time
did the British pastime have look-in'
Whether from a deeply implanted
prejudice against the Rugby style, or
because the wild struggles of the old
standby appeal more to the high
school youth, everyone at the hilltop
school who had any say in the matter
expressed himself energetically against
even demeaning the good name of
Los Angeles high by permitting the
question to be brought to a vote.
Both teachers and pupils opposed
the idea of abandoning the American
game for Rugby. Said one of the
teachers last night, "If our team ac-
cepted Rugby we would put them out
and disown them"
The pupils loudly echoed this senti-
ment. Fred johnson, member of last
years team who will graduate in June,
said, 1--WE told Polytechnic that we
didn't intend to descend to Rugby. We
are not babies and can play the good
old game
The team which will trot out on the
field next fall for the blue and white
will be as strong an aggregation as
that which captured the championship
for Los Angeles high school last year.
The left half will be Stan Mitchell.
considered one of the best all around
athletes in the high school,
Lull will be fullback. Other halves
will be Powers and Decius. Silent will
be the center. Quarters will be Cass
and Bergman. Walbridge and Walker
will serve as right and left tackles.
Bryant on the left end and Geissler
on right will complete the team. A
manager will be elected next week.
Thornton Free will probably be chosen.
notwithstanding the fact that Poly
technic has abandoned the American
game for Rugby the high school boys
will not be at a loss for games. In
the near future matches will be ar
ranged with the teams which have eX-
pressed their intention of staying by
the American game. Among these are
Santa Ana, Throop, Harvard, Santa
Monica, U. S. c., Occidental, st. Vim
cents, Pomona and in all probability
Pomona college.
With these nine teams to play the
high school boys expect to have
keep them hustling during the football
season.
The question of whether or not Los
Angeles high would stay by the Amer
ican game arose about a week ago
when representatives from Polytechnic
came to the hilltop school and tried to
persuade that institution to take up
the English game.
The Polytechnic boys were seconded
by their principal Mr.. Francis, who is
strongly in favor of Rugby. The
IN
uous and final negative.
With all the big colleges and high
schools of Southern California espous-
ing the cause of the old game the pros
pect for an exciting season of Rugby
does not appear very bright.

GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY
Tallman s Co. VIII Refund Money II
Mi-o-na Fails to Cure.

You may ask hy It is that Ml-o-na
stomach tablets are sold by Tallman
Il Co. under a guarantee to refund
the money unless they cure, when no
other treatment for stomach troubles
is sold In this manner.
The answer is simple and con-
elusive.
other medicines for stomach trou-
bles merely digest the food, while
Mi-o-na strengthens the whole digest
i've system so that 1t soon becomes
able to care for all the food that is
eaten.
II you do not use your arm or leg
for a month the muscles become flab-
by and weak and you have to resort
to artificial help. 1t is the same way
with the stomach muscles. If they
are not used, they become so weak
that it is necessary to continue using
a digestive with the food you eat.
on the other hand, when you use
Mi-o-na, your stomach soon grows so
strong that you can give up the use of
medicine.
Mi-o-na costs soc a box and does
more real good than a dozen boxes of
ordinary digestive tablets. The proof
OF this is shown in the fact that a
guarantee, absolute and unqualified,
is given by Tallman & Co. with every
box of Mi-o-na.

Representatives John Il. Killrack
and James E. Fogg of Fremont cOun-
ty. were found in the hotel lobby yes
tcrday evening. between caucus times,
wearing a sort of Fremont county
homesick expression on thier faces
when a Statesman reporter asked if
the material mined in the Teton basin
was really sure enough coal or just a
good quality of Ignite.
Sure enough COAL" they both ex-
claimed, and both began talking at
once.
From their double-decked CONVEX
saiion 1t was learned that the coal is
being mined from the mountains to
the west of Teton river about so miles
from St Anthony. The outcrop of the
mountain has also been prospected in
the V9liey showing that the outcrop is
the result Of a geological fault" In
which struck the coal at 700 feet, and
tine vein is six feet thick. They say
that the coal readily sells in st. An
thory at from 50 to 81 per ton more
than the coal brought in by the rail-
road, as the home coal is considered
that mucl. better than the Wyoming
and Utah coal.
Mr. Killpack says that he took 100
pounds of it to the Castle Gate coke
ovens and they pronounced it the
finest coaking coal they had seen in
tile west. Both representatives agree
that had it not been for the coal OBJ
taine5 from these mines there would
have been great suffering for lack of
inol in the Teton and Upper Snake
river valleys this winter.
This coal sells at st1 to s1S per ton
at the railway points and it sells at
$3.50 at the mines, but must all be
hauled in wagons 40 to so miles. The
advent of a railroad into that valley
would open these mines and there
would be no difficulty, in the minds
of. these gentlemen. as to the ability
OF The Fremont mines to supply all
of southern Idaho with a far superior
quality Of coal than is now being used.

AGAINST CONVICT ROADS.
State Federation Adopts Report of
Good Roads Commission.

The oregon Daily Journal says of
the action. of the state federation of
labor now in session in Portland, con-
cerning convict labor roads:
Ry unonimous vote this morning
the State Federation of Labor adopted
the report of the good roads commits
sion and recommended the passage by
the legislature of the convict labor
bill. Before recommendation the bill
met with attacks at the hands of del
egates, and its adoption was seriously
threatened. When it was taken up
the federation was inclined to accept
il Just as II was presented, but letter
from State Senator E. w. Haines of
Forest Grove, upset the proceedings
and made the delegates feel like giving
MIR, Haines cause TO make in the hall
Of the legislature the avowal he made
in his communication.
In substance. Mr.. Haines told the
federation that he was not in favor of
the good roads till. He did not be-
lieve the convicts should be employed
upon the state highways. He thought
the pcnitentiary should be made a
self-supporting institution, and the
only way it could he made self-sup-
porting was to allow the convicts to
compete with free labor.
