School played the first Basket ball
game of the season at the A. A. G.
hall 1t resulted. after 40 minutes
Of hard work, in a glorious victory
of s TO 3, in favor OF the High School.
The Girls Basket Ball team is
planning for series of games with
Ashland normal, the first Of which
will probably be played in few
weeks. This will be their first match
game.
During the past week the Fresh
men aud Sophomores held their class

The Freshmen class of 1910, so far
has proven itself superior-to any of the
preceding classes. If you doubt it,
ask anyone Of our teachers and they
will tell you, one and all, that we are
wonders. For the ability to grasp
aud absorb knowledge, it would be
hard to surpass US. The Sophomore
class, which, If they will kindly re-
member, were Freshmen last year
themselves, are inclined to think they
are able to outshine us in wisdom.
Bot when we are Sophomores, we
will be as renowned as we are as
Freshmen and as they are unknown.
BY Freshie.
All those who attended the recital
OF our talented sohoolmate. ALMA
Woke. greatly enjoyed the rare treat
which she offered them, She has a
strong touch and plays with q great
deal OF expression and understanding.
We predict for her successful musi-
cal career. She will undoubtedly
become ono of the noted artists of the
day.
All the match games played by the
Grants Pass Basket Ball Team will
probably be won by it, owing to the
fact that some OF the Freshmen who
are excellent players are among its
members. They are the ones who
will do the winning.

The Botany class has been gardening
the past week Their turnips are
doing fine. but their lettuce, beans
and potatoes have not yet shown
any signs Of life. However the
stupidness on the part OF the potato
seems due to an external cause.
When the botany class placed the
potato in the water, they did not
realize what a temptation it would be
to the passers by. But some student,
laboring under an overwhelming ap'
petite, was unable to resist the great
temptation and SO hindered the growth
of our potato by taking a good sized
bite from the top. The culprit is still
at large but the botany class is on the
lookout. Beware Don't eat the
next potato.

there Is no doubt that he was guilty of
desperate crimes. His daring led 9TH

DESERT MINERS.
Never AJAX About Another's Claims o.
Secret Water Holes.

Never AK About Anothsr's Claims o.
Secret Water Holes.
Never ask a man anything about
his mine; he won't tell you IL you do.
1t isn't etiquette to ask such things on
the desert"
Thus spoke ]. Heineman, late Of
Beatty, an old timer In Death Valley
and the desert.
You see, when one miner meets an,
other on the desert they stop, talk and
pass pleasantries. One will ask the
other how he's getting along and he
win say good or hard luck but that's
about all. Neither asks for details
or where the other has his claims To-
Gated. II any man wants you to know
he'll tell you without being asked II
not, he won't tell you II you do ask.
THE fact Is that If man has a
great body Of low grade ore that he
must have force OF men to work and
ship to the smelters he must record IL,
But If he has a rich spot with free
gold easily handled, it Is not necessary,
ana many times one doesn't care to
have the world know about it and have
everybody coming to dig all around.
1t often leads to troubles and litigation,
jumping and all that sort of thing.
IF a property is in the mountains
1t is more necessary to record It, for
1t is easier found. A man can be fol-
lowed In the mountains, but never out
on the desert. would like to see the
man who could follow me on the des-
ert If don't want him to. I'll give
him chase that win make him very
sick of his job OF course in such
cases claim is never left unguarded.
as some one might stumble upon 1t by
accident. In such case possession win
be nine points of the law.
This is so not only about mines, but
also about private secret water holes.
You know some of these give 80 little
water that once known to the general
pubic they would be of no use to those
who went to big trouble finding them
or to any one else very soon, so they
never tell. Let one who has such a
place hidden find one In need he win
share his water, and, II necessary, he
will go and bring back a supply, but
the other fellow doesn't know where
it comes from. That's the finders Sc
cret.
''Of course there are public watering
places, especially along the stage
routes. Some wells have been dug by
individuals or companies who sell wa
ter. Lots Of money has been expended
in this way. The water problem is
indeed a serious one on the desert
"At some of the camps water is haul
ed by team and sells for as high as 80
a barrel. People who don't know think
that Is a terrible price but II really
leaves a very small profit for the long
haul and the time lost and feed OF
teams. Often much of the water with
which one starts is used up by the
horses. Los Angeles Times.
