by Orton Of Pennsylvania. In the in
tercollegiates last year Haskins made
a wonderful showing, winning not
only the mile race, but also the half
mile, in l minute 81 AS seconds. Has
kins was also the winner of the in
tercollegiate cross-couutry race last
fall at Princeton.
The announcement of Haskins' sus-
pension was made known by the fac
ulty committee. 1t is caused by Has
kins failing to keep up with his work.
That "Rube" Waddell did not cost
the St Louis Browns cent is the
word conveyed to Pittsburg sporting
man by a player on the Philadelphia
team. The letter says that Connie
Mack was so disgusted with Waddell
that he determined to get rid of him
this year, even if he had to give him
away Mack asked waivers from every
club in the league and promptly got
them from all except st. Louis. AS
the club refusing to waive claim must
take the player at the waive price.
$1,000, that is what "Rube" cost the
Browns, and all stories that he cost
$4,000 are being laughed at by the
knowing ones. However, in his tele-
gram telling McAleer that he was wei
come to Waddell, Mack said: "If you
take him | will forfeit the waive
claim Many circumstances led up
to "Rube's' disposal. The other play
ers revolted against him and declared
they would not play when he was
pitching. Not that they had anything
against him-they all admired the
erratic country boy-but they never
knew when he was going to take a trip
In flying machine and spoil all their
good work. They had no confidence
with him in the box. Consequently,
for the good OF the cause he was
turned over 10 McAlesr.

Dealing With The Criminal

Fatal To Mining Applicants

Under peculiar rights they have
delegated to themselves. the Agriculture
and Interior departments have usurped
from congress the right to legislate that
mining land on forest reserves shall
not be located, except under such exact
ing rules made in defiance of law is the
land department has named and shall
name. The rules are =, estc:iny ~ 10
defeat mining locations entirely, says
the Tonopah Sun.
The department withholds from loca-
ton all lands that it finds under the
closest scrutiny of its officers to no he
paying mines from the start. The
courts have decided, and it is a matter
Of common sense, that "A prospector is
entitled to locate land upon which he
finds II lode in place. provided he finds
mineral sufficient to justify him in
working further with the hope OF such
mineral proving to exist there IN paying
quantities. BY doing 500 worth of
such work he is entitled to "A patent for
his claim, V though he may not have
yet found II paying mine.
But the land department sends its
officers to the ground, making the most
rigid tests. and if the mine is not found
to I've II paying one thcn and there, the
application is rejected. This is II mere
assumption of the Legislative power by
the executive branch Of the government,
which acts much to the dctrimcnt of
the mining industry. Under the law u

historical fact may bc enlightcning:
Hawaii had a printing press i'll oper-

In 1884 Il regular newspaper began
publication. 1t was called the Lama
Hawaii light of Hawaiil, and was the
first newspaper published west of the
Rocky Mountains.
The first printing press eve operated
in California was II procured some
time in the sos from Hawaii.
Years before the opening up Of Cali
fOrnia by the discovery of gold there,
Hawaii was an educational center OF
importance md many Mexican youths
of wealthy parents got their education
in the islands.
