QUARREL OVER L0NGBOAT.
Status of Canadian Runner Bothers
Athletic Clubs.

NEW YORK, Feb 21.-There
seems to be every prospect that there
will be trouble between Canada and
the United StSates over the Olympic
gal1es to be held in Londnn next
summer. 1t is now said that the
Dominion government expects to APP
propriate $50, 600 to send an athletic
team to take part in the games, and
It is further said that Tom Longboae
the Indian long-distance runner
will surely be member of the team,
? There is no doubt that the Ameri-
cans would promptly file protest
against Longboat, as he is under
suspension by the Amateur Athletic
union on charges of professionalism,
and if he were compete no American
athlete would be allowed to take
part in any event in which he was
entered, including the Marathon
race, the greatest event of the meet
ing. It is said that in an extreme
case the Entire American team might
be withdrawn from the games, al
though this is hardly likely.

IDAHO COAL
BEING MINED

BOISE, Feb. 21.-The Horseshoe

place in the market some of its coal.
A load of it, the first in any .consid-
cradle quantity to be brought in.
reached here today from the mine
for the Boise Gas company, says the
Capital News.
There are large quantities of the
coal already uncovered. The vein
has been traced for more than a
mile and half in length and for
ulore more than three-quarters of a
mile in width. Six distinct veins
are visible in this DISTANCE The one
from which coal is now being taken
is six feet in width, much wider
than are many of the richest veins
of the Pennsylvania coal fields.
The coal burns readily and gives
good heat. small quantity was
burned in this office today and the
results were beyond expectations.
Hi Henry, who is principal owner
Of the stock of the company, has
great plans in view for building up
industries at Horseshoe Bend. He
expects to put in large gas plant
and pipe the gas to all the surround
ing points including Boise, which he
believes will be cheaper than any
other method of handling the prod
uct. He also expects to have estab-
lished coking ovens to use up the
product and smelters for the coke to
handle the ore at Pearl and other
points.

AT WORK
IN ILLINOIS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, Feb. I'll
William j. Bryan visited Spring
field today to confer with his sup
porters among the democrats of IL
linois. Though ostensibly a rally
of the Bryan clubs OF the state and
held without any special political
significance, it is believed the pres
ence of so many Bryan followers
will be taken advantage of for an
important conference. Mr.. Bryan is
reported to be not altogether salts
fled with the way things have been
allowed to drift along in Illinois.
The hostility of National Commit
teeman Roger C. Sullivan toward
Bryan and Organism is we'll known,
but recently other matters have
come up to ruff1e the surface. The
suggestion of Governor Johnson of
Minnesota for the democratic nomi-
nation has been received in Illinois
with cordiality not to the liking of
the Bryan people. The Swedish ele-
ment is large and influential in the
state, and though the majority Of
the Swedish American voters are re-
publicans, it is believed that they
would rally strongly to the support
Of Governor Johnson, if his nominal
ton appeared to be possibility.
The connection between Mr.. Bry-
ans present visit to Illinois and the
Johnson boom is strengthened, SO
far as supposition goes, by the fact
that Nebraska leader goes from Illi-
nois to Kansas. where he is to con-
fer with Kansas democratic leaders
tomorrow. Kansas, like Illinois, is
the home of large colonies Of Swed.

JOCKEY GILBERT
BRINGS $4,000

SAN FRANCISCO, FEB. 21--Jack
Clifford, a former jockey and now a
well-knoWn trainer. was handed
$4,000 yesterday by Thomas II.
Williams for the release OF his APP
prentice jockey, Clifford Gilbert
This is doubtless the biggest amount
paid by a California owner for the
unconditional release of an appren-
tice rider
Gilbert has been riding in wonder
full form for little fellow in the
past three weeks. Thomas H. Will
Jams has contract on Miller for
six or eight months yet, but he needs
lightweight. That is why he paid
SO, 1000 to secure Gilbert for the
next four years.
Gilbert is an Iowa boy who came
out here two yea IS ago determined
to become a jockey. He arrived here
without a cent and had a hard time
in digging up place to sleep and
something to eat. The little wander
er was not easily discouraged, and
finally Jack Clifford took him under
his wing. He gave the little fellow
every chance, and lost no opportupi-
ty to get mount for the youngster.
The boy finally brought home Affair
last season at 40 to 1. 1t was his
first victory, as well as the horses.
While Gilbert was a novice he
tossed off many a race for Clifford,
but the latter had confidence in the
boy and mortgaged his home in an
effort to make a jockey out of him
and keep his stable going.
Gilbert is a bright little fellow
and very popular with his associates
Although 16 years old, he can make
80 pounds, and prcmises'to be in de-
mand when he goes East with the
Williams stable. II Firestone starts
in the Suburban, Gilbert will havi
the mount.
