University VS.. Caldwell.

The University ball team played an
engagement with the Caldwell Cham
pions Wednesday to the tune of to 8
in favor of the visitors. The game
was a better one than the average, in
fact the students made our boys know
that they had been to a ball game.
There was no very fast playing at any
stage of the game and the only riff
fie was when Umpire Sebree got cold
feet and threw up the job. But for
tunately there were others and the
game was only delayed for few min
utes. Steltz was induced to finish
umpiring the game. The receipts
were $4,000. The Caldwell team
generously donated their share of the
receipts to the University lads.

side Doors for New Cars.

Side doors are to be feature OF
the new style coach to be introduced
on the Union Pacific railroad. This
style of car will be the most radical
departure from the end-door system
used universally ever since railroads
came into existence. The door will
be wider than those now in use, and
It is believed will form a much quick
err means of egress than a door at one
end of the car.
w. r. McKeen, Superintendent OF
the motive power of the Union Pacific
road, is the originator of the idea. He
believes that cars thus constructed
will be much stronger ad more dur
able than the style now used, and
that in case of wreck there will be
little danger of the coaches teles-
coping each other. The car will have
small passageway from one coach
to another, but this will be 80 arrang-
ed that it will not weaken the end
walls of the car.
Another feature of this unique
coach Is the use of round instead of
square windows. They will be some
what smaller than the square lights
but less liable to destruction by acct
dent. A new patent ventilator, which
is being used by the Union Pacific on
its motor cars, will be placed on the
ho MI nroaant
an appearance 80 little in common
with the ordinary coach that 1t will
nt first hardly be recognized as a pas
senger vehicle.
The new coach is being construct
Ell at the shops of the company in
Omaha and will be placed in service
in about 60 days.
Raisin Camphor Texas Industry.
Camphor farms are the latest ad-
Star state. So far there are only
two, both of which are operated by
the government, but Texans conf
IDENTIFY expect their state to become
one Of the greatest camphor regions
of the world.
Practically the entire supply OF
camphor comes from Formosa. The
demand has increased to such an ex-
tent that the attention of all the
leading countries Of the world has
been directed to opening up a new
source of supply. This is made
necessary by the fact that in the
manufacture of modern explosives
which are used In high power guns
camphor forms an important ingred-
lent.
Now that the Japanese government
controls the worlds supply of the
product, it Is by no means certain
that 1t may be obtained in the de-
sired quantities at all times in the
future. In order to provide against
any such contingency as this. the
growth of the camphor shrub Is be-
In, encouraged In Texas.
The camphor experimental farm al
Wharton was established nearly q
year ago. The shrubs have thrived
wonderfully well, and they are now
as high as a mans head.
The process Of operation In Formo'
sa for extracting the camphor Ia t.
chop the trees down and cut them II
to small pieces. from which the cam
phor is then distilled. DR.. Watkins
will adopt different method in Tex
as. He sows the camphor seeds like
wheat or oats, and the shrub quickly
sprouts. When 1t has attained thu
highth of about three feet 1t will b,
cu> down with a moving machine
at a heighth of about one foot from
tn ground. The several portions will
be put through the distilling pro
cess and the camphor extracted.

GU exactly what we want.

you exactly what we want.
Our track will take up but little
room, will be but little in use, and
will do no damage whatever to any
property holders along the route
asked for.
We will lay a surface track, that
lis, everything is covered except the
rails, not built above the crossings,
ETC., so as to be an inconvenience to
the travelling public. Neither a dis
convenience to the city's detriment.
Please take up this matter up with
Mr. Richardson and the Committee
and wire the result, at my expense,
New York City, by Thursday next.
You will understand after your
talk with Mr.. Richardson that we
want to connect with the Oregon
Short Line. Same will be used only
at certain hours in getting our con-
struction material, ETC., from that
road.
Now, Mr. Madden, l am not urg-
ing this matter in a strenuous way,
as believe 1t would be uncalled for.
IL thoroughly believe the citi-
liens of Caldwell will offer no word
of protest to what we are asking.
Personally / do not consider it re-
quest to be denied for one moment,
as it works no hardship on any one
concerned, is a direct benefit to every
man, women and child in Caldwell
and vacinity and requires no outlay
from any person until we have done
our part to bring about beneficial re-
lsults.
Awaiting your reply, / am,
Very truly yours,

UPTON DROPS CHALLENGE.
Baronet Gives Up Effort to Lift Amer

Dublin, Oct. 2.-Abandoning all ef- forts to win the Americas cup until the New York Yacht club shall permit races by practical yachts and not freaks, Sir Thomas Lipton again has expressed his deep regret at the re- fusal of the New York Yacht club to accept his challenge. In lengthy let ter to the Royal Irish Yacht club that was received by its committee he sets forth in detail his reasons for not again challenging.
 q have already competed three times under the conditions of the deed of gift with the notifications arranged under the mutual agreement clause, and my personal experience of these contests is such that I consider that the handicap of having to design a vessel of the type which has been gradually developed during recent years and which shall be of sufficiently light construction, yet capable of being taken with safety on its own bottom across the Atlantic, entirely precludes the possibility of competing on equal terms with vessel which is not com pelled to take this ocean voyage"
