Northcroft kicked the goal today from
the regular lineup. 1t was received by
Mason from the center The feat@ is
probably unparalleled in the history OF
college foot ball. Northcroft's kick in
the West Point game of 1896 was not SO

fair catch.

MINNEA POLLS. Mimi. October lin
one of the hardest games played on
Northrop Field since the Minnesota
Michigan game in 1903, Minnesota and
Nebraska this afternoon fought to a
nothing to nothing tie The battle was
hard fought from the start, and although
the Minnesota players were outweighed
by several pounds. several times the ball
was pushed within striking distance of
the Nebraska goal line.
The first half brought about keen
contest, and although Minnesota had a
shade on the gains, honors were fairly
even. In the second half, however, every
thing seemed TO go for Minnesota and
il was only by poor playing of Quarter
back Coughlin of the Minnesota team
that Minnesota failed to score.

candidacy for the office of president of
the Washington State Federation of
Labor, subject to the ballot of the an
nual convention of the federation at
the coming convention to be held in
this city early next month.
SpOkane'S delegates to the state fed
Grafton met Monday afternoon to dis
cuss plans for the work of the dele
gates at the state meeting. Mr.. Wheat
on made first announcement of his
candidacy at this caucus, and, while
no formal action was taken regarding
the matter, he will undoubtedly re
ceive the undivided support of the
Spokane delegation. Being a member of
the typographical union, Mr.. Wheaton
will undoubtedly receive the votes of
the delegates from the unions repre-
senting the printing trades through
out the state and this will make him a
probably successful candidate.
Twenty of the delegates who have
already been named by Spokane unions
to attend the state federation, were
present at the caucus. 1t was agreed

state federation two weeks before

Owing to the fact that a complete
delegation from the unions Of Spokane

NEW YORK, Dec. Z3.-Tn1S Is a
long day, a feverishly busy day and a
hard day for the Santa Clauses on
earth, particularly in New York. And
a warm day for them, no matter how
cold it may seem to fingers and toes
of the little people who have only
just to fidget around and expect the
appearance Of Christmas Day Arms
and wagons full of packages. Streets

things going on so hastily and fever
ishly that a pagan from TimbuctoO
would certainly have to sieZe the fact
at a glance that there were to be
mighty revelry day after tomorrow.
A letter for Santa Claus has turned
up at the general postOffice, just in
time. The clerk picks it up in a
matter of fact way with scarcely a
glance at the inscription. One would
think that he believed in Santa Claus.
He does in a way. He drops it into
great box filled as deep as you
could reach down. all with letters to

Thanks to some persons, among the
busiest of the engineers of st. Nick,

of the queer little pleas, for toys or
other Christmas necessities will be
granted by hasty messengers riding
up to lowly doors and leaving gifts at
the last moment with no trace of
where they came from.
Santa Claus will be reality for
these little children of the poor, who
write pitiful missives to the good
saint and wait in all faith for the
fulfillment of their desires. And some
of them too, want so little-a doll or
rubber rattle for baby, or a new
calico dress for mamma. There is
patient faith expressed in these ILL

do not believe in Santa Claus, nor in
anything, much, and who ask little

SEATTLE. Dec. 23.-The King
County Republican club, at meeting
held in Seattle recently, was expected
to indorse United States Senator Piles
and pledge itself to aid in his re-elec-
ton two years hence. The meeting
adjourned without taking action, and
it is we'll known here that the, ardent
friends of Senator Piles We're much
There is no occasion for
the fact that there is OppO-
sitiOn to Senator Piles in King coun-
ty. Whether it will continue to grow,
or ''die a bornin'" is yet to be deter
mined. Mr.. Piles real friends admit
that he must fight if he wishes to
continue to be senator. They do not
deny that the appointment of George
F. Russell as postmaster to succeed
George Stewart has stirred up oppos1-
tion from three sources. First, the
politicians opposed to Mr.. Russell as
we'll as the politicians who supported
him and helped to make him county
treasurer; second, the friends of Post
master Stewart, who were indignant
at his removal by President Roosevelt;
and, third, the people who voted for
Russell for treasurer and who felt that
he should have qualified for that office
and served out his term. 1t is not to
be inferred that all the people who
voted for Russell for treasurer received
the announcement of his appointment
with disapprOval; still, many thought
that he should not have accepted the
postmastersh when he had just been
elected treasurer.
Senator Piles friends, of course,
laugh at the idea of his being defeated,
claiming that when the time comes
King county will be, a unit in support
ing him for senator in order to pre-
vent Pierce county from capturing the
important Office.

1t is possible that Jay P. Giaves may
consider this extension in the plans
outlined for next year. The extension
to Walla Walla is considered by those
urging the project to be more profit
able from a business standpoint than
the proposed extension from Moscow
to Lewiston. By building to Walla
Walla the line would cross the Snake
river where, a boat service might be
possible to Lewiston, thus accomplish
ing both objects.
In case the line is built, it will enter
the territory of the proposed Farmers

also probable that the future proposed
extension of the Farmers line to Pom
