Tomorrow afternoon at 2:15 O'Clock
the Whitman varsity football team
will leave for Moscow, Idaho, where
on Saturday afternoon the Missionar-
les will meet the husky aggregation
from the University of IDAHO. This is
one of the hardest games which Whit
man will have to face during the en-
tire season. and much of the future
development of the Missionaries to-
ward championship form will depend
upon their conduct in this the first
intercollegiate game. not only between
the two teams but among hte colleges
of the northwest conference as well.
During the past week Coach Blanch-
ard has been working his men excep-
tionally hare and it is expected that
they will go into the Idaho game in
to meet the Idaho offense Last Sat
urday the University of Idaho met the
strong team from the University of
Puget Sound in Idaho's first practice
game. Coach Blanchard went to Mos
cow to see Idaho play and get a line
of their formations. On his return he
has been drilling his men on the best
defense to break up Idaho's plays.
The Idaho team this year is much
stronger than when they met Whit
mar in WaIla Walla last year and the
Missionaries realize that they will have
a much fiercer game on their n
Idaho's line is bigger thar ever and
is about three times as aggressive.
they work together in that smooth ma
chine-like manner which generally
PLAYS havoc with the line defense of
the opposing team. Under their new
coach, John H. Grogan, direct from
Knox college. they have a football in
structor whose knowledge of the game
and 10Y to teach it is beyond question.
Under his tutelage the Idaho team has
developed wonderfully and although
they are saying little it is expected
that Idaho will play an important part
in the determination of the northwest
conference championship.
Coach Blanchard has not as yet
made a definite announcement OF the
men whom he will take on the ldaho
trip. but the number will be chosen
from he following men: Captain Bor-
Ieske. Alfred Belt, George Jonnson'
Tracy Cox. Verne Dresser, Fred Glenn

will inquire, What of it" as few are
familiar with the name and career of
the author of America" or, as our ma
tional hymn is more popularity known,
my Country. 'Tis of Thee" The song
was written in 1882, and Dr.. Smith
died in November, 1895.
DR.. Smith was born in Boston, and
later acquired the reading and speak
ing of Is languages. At the age of Sc
he was studying Russian. He entered
Harvard at the age of II and sus-
tanned himself there by the money
he made from coaching other students
and making TRANSACTIONS. He was a
widows self-supporting son, and not
only paid his way through college,
but had a balance ahead when he had
graduated. He was a member of the
famous class of 1929. which included
DR.. O.. w. Holmes. James Freeman
Clarke, William E. Claiming and
others whom the world came to know
and honor.
Although written nearly 80 years
before, MY Country, tbs of Thee"
did not have a widespread popularity
until the Civil war began. 1t was
found in a few hymn books and was
sung on stated occasions, but as a
national hymn-as a special inspirer
of patriotism-it did not stir the peo-
pie to any impressive degree until
the flag was shot down at Sumter.
Since then it has been used more fire.
quently than any other of the so-called
national songs.
The story of the melody to which
we sing the much beloved American
national hymn has been written and
rewritten many times. and still there
is a question as to it's origin. Some
investigators have traced it back to
the Egyptians. and claimed that the
Germans acquired it from the Huns.
had, in all likelihood, brought it
from Asia to Europe.

A MORE VELVET GOWN

The rich SOftnesS of velvet has re-
ceived the watered effect of MORE by
some process evolved in France, and
as a result there is a material which
is wonderfully beautiful for afternoon
gowns. One MORE velvet gown burst
upon the vision of a favored few and
met with w~ell-deserved admiration.
1t was of rich amethyst tone, with
touches of black MORE for trimming.
The ornate weave of the material
needed little trimming, and the beauty
of line and drapery spoke much for
the suppleness of this new velvet. A
guimpe of tucked amethyst chiffon
had a subyoke of ecru lace. which
stopped at a narrow piping of more
silk. A high girdle of black had a
scalloped top and bottom. and tiny
cuffs held down the puffed chiffon
sleeves 1t the elbows.
The skirt fell in straight lines that
swept the o III d rouAu u"hh.
band of black MORE edged the hem,
held in place at the front by a wide,
flat bow. Tiny amethyst buttons
which nestled in chiffon quilllngs fol-
lowed the black line and ornamented
the girdle and sleeves. A beautiful
gown made of this lovely new material
and worthy of your notice.

Grating costumes.
There are buttons of all shapes and
of all imaginable designs. Round but
tons of CT steel, silver, gunmetaI ana
gilt are here for the paying. Square
buttons, wa shapes, diamond forms
and hexagonal outlines are glittering
and tempting in their jeweled beauty.
Many of these new forms have large
centers Of colored stone or glass sur
rounded by tiny forms of metal mount
ings. Colors are arranged in circles of
contrasting jewels on some. while on
others there are squares of turquoises,
amethysts or sapphire alternating with
filigree.
1t is impossible to describe the varie-
ty of design in this seasons offerings.
1t will be well-nigh impossible to seek
a certain style or color combination

veterans, Plank, Bender. Coombs aud
Morgan, and of the youngster, Krause.
The latter made a wonderful record

ing a run of ten consecutive victories;
and Morgan pitched the best ball of
his career.
The a~ll-star team is comprised of
men just as good, and among its mem
bers is included Walter Johnson, a
Weiser, Idaho, boy, who made good on
the pitching staff of the Washington
team. johnson hurt his arm in the
last of the season. but is said to have

and he is moving Beaver, his regular
treble sacker, to the outfield. Rowland
was much impressed with the heavy

year had not things gone amiss. How
they went amiss is an interesting
story.

BADGER HILL LEDGE Is
OVER TWO MILES LONG

Seven TTOughs. March 12.-The strike On
the new Reagan lease on the Wild Bull in
Wild Horse canyon has developed the fact
that the Badger Hill ledge Is more than
two miles in length. The vein, which has
been SO productive in the English George
lease of the Badger Hill, has been tra5ed
across the gulch TO the Gold Chain
ground, and beyond that to the Morrison
Molter lease on the Golden Horseshoe,
across another gUlch to the Reagan on the
Wild Bull and still further beyond through
the North Pole property.
In the Reagan they have two feet of
ore which breaks at $50 ton, and yes
terday there were three feet opened IN in
the upper tunnel on the EngisSE-(-eCrRe
lease which gees $40 ton.
On the Gold Chain group they are run
ming a tunnel alongside the vein. and the
surface shOwings are very promising. In
the tunnel it is expected to crOsscuJ an
intersecting vein with that of the Ped
ger Hill vein. which should give the best
kind OF results.
With more development there is no
doubt that this Badger Hill Vein viii be

Newport Nevada Mill to Treat
Iris 0re-Jennie to Open
Mine Deeper.

Modena. March 13.-Ross Smith Of Fay,
New, has leased the mill of the Newport
Nevada Mining company and has started
mining operations in the Iris. The Iris
has been worked intermttently for
number of years and a considerable ton
mage of profitable milling ore is on the
dumps. The property is owned by George
Moody. the merchant of Gold Springs and
Fay, and has always been regarded as
property Of much promise. The Newport
Nevada mill is Of the Chilean type, Of
thirty tons capacity, equipped for plate
amalgamation and with a cyanide plant
contract has been let for 100 tons of
fuel to start with and "A like amount per
month is being arranged for.
Work has been resumed on the famous
Bull Valley gold discovery that made a
few pages of sensational history two
years ago, but under what auspices is not
disclosed.

ready to go down and that operations
will be resumed about April l. The Jen-

LEASERS IN RICH ORE
IN ROSEBUD REGION

Very little has been made public during
the last six months about the mining
progress in what is known as the Sulphur
mine section of the Rosebud mining dis
trict, but from the fact that little has
been said does not indicate that little has
been done. Conditions at present are very
much to the contrary and have been so
all winter. says the Humboldt Star.
Upon the Durango Girl property, owned
by the Tom boy crowd of Colorado, three
sets Of leasers are operating with much
Vigor and enthusiasm, and as long as
money continues to master the American
people these men are surely justified in
working in q mental state of high ten
sion. There is not one of them that has
failed to extract from twenty-five to 100
pounds of ore each day for the last six
months that will average from 80 cents to
81 per pound in silver. The silver is a
chloride, some pieces of which are so
pure that they can be bent double.
II has been the policy of the parties
operating these leases, Messrs. Kicks and
Skinner, Anderson land Henderson and
Rogers and Ellfner, to SAY nothing and
saw wood" When ten or twenty sacks
have been extracted< it has been expressed
to market and the returns have never
run below 30 cents pound. These leasers
alone have taken several thousand dollars
out during this last winter and none OF
them have attained enough depth to
mention. In fact, they have hardly begun

Upon the Last Day No. / claim, joining

of ieasers are busil, extracting the same
high-grade horn silver as is found on the
Durango Girl. The parties operating these
leases, Joy and Kelley. Newlands and
Morris, Jim Nelson and Dargavel and
Mcleod. have none of them been working
more than two months. but without IN
exception every one is at present sackinS

They started their lease about the LIST OF
January and have just sent to the Salt
Lake smelter about $500 pounds of ore
that will net them 81 a pound.
Mr.. Lloyd, who owns the Last Day No.
claim, is also carrying on development
work He also is taking out ore. It IS
almost impossible to dig a hole five feet
deep on this property without encounter
ing seams of almost pure horn silver.

During February the United States gov
