BASE BALL.
(Dutliulle Tinesl

NDuEuQue iilIHeSl
The Three-Eye league ends the
season with six clubs facing deficits
and two showing small profits. The
national game was never more popG-
| lar than at the present time, but In
| the last twenty-five years the salary
| list has grown even more rapidly
than the popularity Of the game. 1t
| is for this reason that base ball is a
| business proposition In few cities OF
less than $4,000 population. The
problem IS to keep down the salary
| list and the mileage while maintaining
| the interest; and the Three Eye
! league has not solved it. Regulations
have been made concerning maximum
salary and Number of men. but these
| have been evaded or openly disre-
garded in the effort to meet the de-
mahds of tile patrons of the game for
| a winning team A semi professional
club playing on Saturdays and Sun
days always, makes money in a town
Of this size, but as soon as the inter
est reaches a certain point the de-
mand arises that the town must get
onto the base ball map by entering

financial difficulty. The minor league
clubs should have a common treasurer
to enforce the provisions made for
their own salvation and to help them
resist the pressure for more men and

AS TO ASSUMING "REBUKERS'
\ (Webster City Tribune)
The Register and Leader sharply re-
Dukes the attacks of the Cummins
newspaper organ at Marshalltown on
Frank D. Jackson and Mr.. Bleakley,
/ the candidate for state auditor. Repub-
| ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS can accomplish much
4 to restore fraternal feeling.-Fort
Dodge Messenger.
1t has been noticed that the Register
I and Leader has been quite liberal in
handing out rebukes to newspapers
and men who saw fit to ''attack" some
one besides Governor Cummins. This
trait has caused some comment among
readers of the Register and Leader in
1 this part of the state and some sur
prise has been expressed that the Reg
lister and Leader never takes occasion
to "rebuke" the brutal and malicious
attacks of ssuch papers as the Sioux
City Journal Waterloo Reporter and
4 Cedar Rapids Republican upon the
governor of the state. 1t is also mar
veled that the Register and Leader
would give publicity without comment
to such pusillanimous articles as APP
peared In its columns a few days ago
from the pen of the notorious c. w
Johnson, the man who undertook tc
sandbag the Iowa congressional dele
4 cation into boiling the ticket two years
ago.

WOMEN OF PARAGUAY.
Patient and Good Natured, Harsfootsd
and Write Rohed.

Paraguay Is rich In local color. The
picturesque character Of the native
population. with their quaint Indian
features and habits Of everyday life,
Is interesting to anybody fond Of OBJ
serving strange phases Of human life.
BY nature these people are patient and
gentle, seldom complaining, chattering
and laughing from sunrise to sunset
and taking small thought OF what the
morrow may have in store for them.
1t Is hard to imagine how Lopez
could have drilled them into lighting
material Of strength enough to keep In
check the combined forces OF Argen-
tina, Brazil and Uruguay for five long,
weary years, and it speaks volumes for
the indomltable energy Of the man that
he was able to sustain his position for
SO protracted a time.
Clothing is very much of superfiu-
ity in Paraguay, says the Boston
Transcript. The attire OF the women
is a cotton chemise with long sheet
like shawl, or manta, passed over the
head and around the body in Moorish
fashion. The dress Of the men is
equally simple, consisting only of cot
ton shirt and trousers. Both sexes are
guiltless Of foot covering. At times an
almost uncanny feeling rises when a
group Of these white robed, dark hair
ed maldens pass suddenly with the
silent tread Of unshod feet.
or a morning In the market places
the women folk flock to sell their
wares, carrying on their heads the bas-
kets containing the few cents worth
of native produce they have been able
to gather together for disposal in the
towns The soft Guarani language, the
common tongue of the Paraguayans,
adds further charm to the scene.

PORTLAND, Oct. 8. THAT East
ern brewers generally do not fully
understand the Western hop situa-
ton is the behei Of some members Of
the local trade. One dealer said to-
day:
The brewers this Fall have been
waiting for Developments before tak-
ing on their regular stocks OF hops,
just as last year, they waited before
buying malt, and the indications now
are that their experience with malt,
when after long wait for low prices
they finally had to buy in bull mar
ket. win be duplicated in hops this
season
@The trouble with the brewers Il
that they do not fully understand the
situation Heavy crops abroad biz
carry-oycr stocks of olds and the fall
ing Of in beer consumption in recent
months have entered little too
largely into their calculations. They
have been figuring on cheap hops this
Fall. and while they have been fgur-
ing and waiting for developments
spectators have been quietly but ac-
lively buying"

BIG ELECTRIC PROPOSITION

will make one horse power of elec-
trical energy.
THE Santa Fe Railroad company
says that every acre OF Irrigated land
along its line contributes on an aver
age OF $3.50 to its freight and paaD-
enger business. hence 1t viii be neen
that 100000 acres of irrigated iand
along our line will, mean an almost
incalculable volume OF business for
this company to handle. with our pow
er transmission lines We will b able TO
lift water to the surface from the. mn
derflow Of the valley for irrigattpa
purposes for $1.5O an. acre. We can
furnish people everywhsrs betweea
Canon City and Scott City electric sa-
ergly for lighting their homes tor
three cents . kilowat, or twice -
cheap as illumination can be had from
coal oil.
I'VE can irrigate 100 acres Of land
for $500 and will put in the machin-
cry for doing so without expense to
the farmer, taking q mortgage upon
his property at the rate Of ten dollars
an acre for the installation and giviAg
him ample time in which to pay on
his Indebtedness. 1t will increase the
value of his land nifty times ut least.
making it worth q hundred dollars an
acre to start with.
THE company has not sold . dol
lars worth of bonds and has not yet
placed any stock ON the market. We
will sell stock, however. q little later
on, but 1t will not be payable until
the road is built and in operation The
advantage of this road to Canon City
cannot be easily estimated. It will add
tremendously to the wealth, prestige
and population of this community. 1t
will make 1t a common point 20 far
as passenger and freight business In
concerned and will bring thousands
Of tourists here every year.
We will build line to the top Of
the Royal Gorge and it will become n
famous with travellers as Pixies Peak.
Of which 1t Is a rival from scenic
standpoint. Our company has al
ready been asked by the Rock IslaAd
and other eastern steam lines to haul
their coaches from Pueblo over its
road to the top OF the Royal Gorge
and II is probable that soms ar
rangement of that kind will b made.

I am glad to see that the people of

kind in this country. and am sure
they will help 1t along by every means
In their power"

Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1908-06-04

The last legislature appropriated
1900 for the expenses of the office
of Superintendent of Public Instruc.
ton Remember that this amount
is exclusive of his own salary OF
81 800 per annum. 1t now develops
that Superintendent Ustrud has
secured an automobile, for which the
taxpayers of the state had to pay, a
warrant for the purchase money
being issued by the state auditor.
Ustrud is busily engaged in cam
paigning for the Crawford cause, but
travelling on freight trains did not
suit his aristocratic tastes, so he
buys a nice red painted auto and
charges it to the state. Probably
he received enthusiastic accounts
from the insurgents of Day
county as to the great success they
were having with an auto campaign
and decided to get into the game
himself. 1t is the first time in the
history of the state that the taxpay-
ers OF the stats had to pay for an
automobile for campaign purposes,
but Crawford reform comes high.
The next thing will be the purchase
of an auto for the Fire Marshal,
Scale Inspector, Hotel Inspector,
State Engineer, and SO ON through
the list Of new Offices created by the
$4,000, 900 Legislature.
