The first United States land office
patent for an Indian allotment ever
received for record in Okanogan
county was filed for record last week
with County Auditor Wilmarth, 1t
conveys to Ah-Now-Ah, or Julia Ce-
Gle, an Indian of the Chief Moses
tand, GAIA acres situated just south
Of the town Of Loomis, lying along
Sinlahekin creek. This was one OF
the many al!otments which base
oeen lying dormant in that neigh
oorhood for years. The town of
Loomis is built on such an allot-
ment, and those who have made i'm
nrovements there are awaiting the
hore of the interior department in
Nfder to get title to the lots upon
which their homes and business
houses are erected.
The county commissioners yester-
day granted a franchise to the Me-
tEow Trading company, a Washing
Ten corporation of Twisp, to build
and maintain a water supply system

Cutler is brilliant young player who

On Jan. ~ George Sutton of Chica-
go, champion at the 1872 balk line
game, will play Ora Morningstar of
New York for the championship EN-
blem and the customary stake of $500
side. This match will be played in
New York city. Cutler and Morning
star are two of the youngest profess
SIGNALS in the game. They have de-
veloped great speed at the style of
game they are to play, and their
meetings with the veterans Schaefer
and Sutton should furnish excellent
contests.
Eighteen inch balk line, two shots
in, is a less difficult game than 1S.1,
for the simple reason that it permits
of two shots in balk, whereas the
other game allows only one. When
two shots in are allowed, there is a
chance to use one shot In getting in
position to drive out. In 1871 there
is no preparatory shot. The balls

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 17.-At a
banquet in his honor at the Claypool
hotel tonight, William ]. Bryan will
make the first speech he has deliv-
cred in Indiana in some time. While
no doubt has been felt regarding
the favorable attitude of Indiana

West Says That Turfmen Should Let
Baseball Alone.

Unless all the signs fail baseball In
the near future will have an enemy to
fight. an enemy of the most annoying
type-the race track man. The fight
will not be one of competition, but one
of eradication. The race track men
want to break into baseball. 1t Is the
business of the farseeing and honest
baseball men to keep them out.
During the past few years the ma
tional game has been advancing by 81
Santic strides. Baseball has been GO
ing over smooth roads while racing
has been humping the bumps. Profess
sional baseball has become business
In which good financial returns await
the investor, besides barrels of sport
The racing people are now awake
to this fact, and they are beginning to
do n lot of figuring.
Quite a number of horse owners and
bookmakers, having saved some money
from the general wreckage Of their
own pet game, are willing to invest In
baseball, and in several recent in
stances good offers have been made
for blocks of stock in big league teams.

connected with the racing business.

Ty Cobb, the leading batter of the
1907 baseball season, is the real kid
when it comes to the swatting bust
ness. He has one ambition besides be
ing crack baseball player-to be a
good clog dancer. Ty spends great
deal of his spare time in learning
new fancy steps, and 1t is said that
the clever southern ball player is real
ly finished artist In the style of
dancing that appeals to him.
But of course his baseball associates
have fun at the kids expense, and, al
though they know that he is really a
clever performer in the jig line, yet
he would be the last person to hear 1t
from their lips.
Just before the worlds championship
series and while the Detroit club was
resting for those nerve racking games
Ty Cobb was one morning going
through some fantastic steps when big
Sam Crawford happened to come into
the room.
What do you think of these foot
movements, Sam?" gayly cried Cobb
as he went through some airy steps
for the editication of his big team
mate.
You'd be swell dancer, Ty," said
Sam in the slow manner he has of
speaking, were it not for two things"
And what old two things are they?'
cried Cobb as he paused.
"Your feet" retorted Crawford as
he hastily backed out of the room.

In the 0idcn Times.

This conference is in session in Lau-
rcnS. There are more than two hundred
preachers in active service Some Of
them have good places with the usual
comforts that come to we'll to do people
Others have what they call poor circuits
with small pay and hard times But
when they get together they look as if
they are well clothed and well fed
body of They seem to be jolly good
fellows devoid of cares and heavy bur
dens. We would like to call their attcn-
ton to the fact that their predecessors
one hundred years ago, had some cXpcr-
fences that would be considered uncndu-
rablc now. When Ben Wofford was a
circuit rider, one of his circuits cXtcn-
ded from Goshen Hill in Union county
through Spartanburg, Ruthcrfordton
and Buncombc counties over into Ten
nessec. A little later than his circuit RI
ding, about 1910, a circuit extended from
Lincoln through Cleveland on into Spar
tanburg. Bond English was one of the
preachers on that circuit Up to lS5Othc
circuits required four weeks to make the
rounds. There were generally two prca-
chers, senior and junior. They preach
he'd every day XceptMonday and gcner-
ally filled two appointment on Sunday
Bishop Asbury was the first bishop to
visit this state. That was more than a
hundred years ago. About that time
there was an eccentric evangelist that
passed through the South several times
on his regular rounds He was sort of
free lance, peculiar, earnest, abundant
in labor with wife who often tray
clcd with him. His circuit extended from
New England to New Madrid on the
Mississippi. This quaint couple were
Lorenzo Dow and his wife Peggy. One
hundred five years ago he attended the
conference at Augusta when Bishop
Coke was present These old pioneC rs
had hard times. but they laid well the
foundation for progressive, energetic
church work. 1t would be well in this
day and time if the young preachers
would consider the trials and hardships
of ministers who aborcd a hundred
years ago. Carolina Spartan.

ADONIRAM COUNCIL, NO. =.
The Local MasOns Revive n Former
Popular Organization.


Thursday night in the Masonic halls
of the Enterprise bank building was
revived and reorganized Adoniram
council, No. 2, Of the Royal and Sc
lect Masons. Most Illustrious Grand
Master Geo. Y. Bryan OF Greenville
assisted by Messrs A. II. Shade, ]. r.
Rutledge, M. V. Miller and A. e. Nor
ris, also of Greenville. were present,
conducting the ceremonies and install
ing the officers.
This council is, as the number indi-
Gates, one of the oldest in the country
and the second oldest in the State:
in fact there are but three or four
councils in South Carolina Years
ago Adoniram council was a live and
active body, and years ago it became
disorganiZed There are many who
cannot recall its existence. During
the past year, however, the Masons in
this city have become so strong and
so active that when the matter Of re-
viving the council was considered it
met. with hearty response, and not
only many of the old members were
re-installed, but Is companions Of the
Royal Arch Masons were initiated at
the meeting Thursday night These
are: MessrS. G. NJ. Miller, S. p Babb,
Il. A. Babb, II. Terry, j. A. Simmons,
II. c. Switzer, A. Shayer. w. b. Sloan,
.. b. Simmons, J. e. Switzer, j. S.
Machen, NJ. l.. Nash, Brooks Swygert.
Thos. l. Swygert and w. w. Dodson.
The officers elected and installed
were: r. A. Cooper, thrice illustrious
master; w. e. Thayer. right illustr-
Gus deputy master; O. b. Simmons,
illustrious counselor of works; W.
w. Dodson, treasurer; W. H. Wash
ington, recorder; NJ. l.. Nash, captain
of council; c. Nj. Miller conductor of
council; A. Shayer, steward; w. H.
GilkerSOn, Jr., sentinel
The reviving Of this old council will
be matter Of general interest
throughout the State, especially since
it was re-organiZed under the most
suspicious circumstances and with
such an enthusiastic membership,
together with the fact that there are
so few such councils in existence. Af-
ter the completion of business the
members of the council repaired to
the dining halls of Gray's hotel, where
they enjoyed an excellent banquet.
