Baseball Team With q Yellow
Streak.

For the length of yellow streak ed
back and coldness of feet, the much
lauded Reno ball team must be awarded
the palm. The Fallon boys have
offered every inducement for the Reno
team to come down here, consistent
with good sportsmanship; the Reno
team repeatedly accepted and even
went so far as to make a bluff at catch
ing train, but for some cause they
never appeared and our fans have been
repeatedly disappointed through their
inconsistent actions. The feeling is
quite general locally that Reno's first
team is bunch of four fushers; short
card men and are seeking to run a sort
pea shell baseball game. In other
words we haven't much use for this
aggregation down this way and their
last action in refusing to come down
and meet the Fallonites on the local
diamond this week has not added to
their popularity.
There will be game tomorrow after
noon, friday however, for the Rambler
team from Reno, greatly strengthened
will meet the boys for a return en-
gagement and the game in all proba-
bility will be hotly contested. The affair
will be called promptly at two o'clock
and the grandstand should be crowded
to overfowing as token of appreciation
of the local people of the efforts Of oul
boys to entertain them with goot
wholesome sport. The admission vii
be twenty-five cents, the usual price

To go into individual mention of the
products from the various ranches
would be impossible. Scarcely rancher

brought to the fair something that
represents painstaking effort.
In the livestock department, the
state experimental farm is represented
by two carloads of stock, which includes
horses, cattle, sheep and swine.
Among the horses the chief attraction
to local people is the two year old
Percheron stallion, weighing 1765
pounds. The cattle include Holstein
and Jersey breeds, the sheep, Hamp-
shire, Southdown and Cheviot breeds,
while the swine exhibit 10 confined to
Berkshires, one two year old boar
weighing 635 pounds, and some very
fine o. I. C. swine belonging to Frank

RESOLUTIONS PASSED.

These resolutions were submitted
just before the meeting adjourned yes
terday afternoon and unanimously
passed:
"Appreciating the intent of the hon.
orable secretary of the interior and
the United States senate committee
on irrigation to verse themselves on
the actual conditions existing in the
construction of the various government
irrigation projects, by personally hear
ing complaints and inspecting the works
by personal meeting with the settlers
interested:
Therefore the representatives of
the following projects, the Klamath,
North Platte valley. Strawberry Val
ley, Garden City, Milk River project,
Williston, Truckee-Carson, Orland-
Unit, Buford-Trenton, Uncomphagre
valley in meeting assembled in Salt
Lake City this 9Th day of September,
1909, present these urging needs of the
people connected with the foregoing
projects:
1--WE heartily endorse the reclama-
tion law and appreciate the beneficial
results obtained from the reclamation
of the arid lands by the government.
"But, whereas, the people who &C.
cepted the government proposition to
construct irrigating systems under the
act of congress of June II, 1902, did SO
assuming that the law as passed was
mandatory in its provisions and conclu-
sive in statement.
"And, whereas, relying upon the act
and statements made by the govern
ment engineers as the source of our in
formation on what we were to receive.
"And whereas, relying upon the law
and estimates furnished US by the gov
ernment engineers, we voluntarily
signed contracts for water and pledged
our land and homes for the payment
thereof.
"And, whereas, after these contracts
had been secured, based on the esti.
mated cost of the engineers, the recla.
nation law has been so interpretated
that the actual cost instead Of the
estimated cost Of construction Ii
charged against the land.
"Apd. whereas, these liens ou tbs

land and homes were given on the es-
timated cost furnished by the govern
ment engineers.
"And, whereas, section of the re-
clamation law specifies that the said
charges shall be determined with a
view of returning to the reclamation
fund the estimated cost of construction
and that only;
Therefore, be it resolved, That the
estimated cost of projects on which
these lines were secured be the amount
the settlers and water users should be
required to pay.
1--WE further beg to recommend the
following changes in the reclamation
law:
"First-Jhat the time of payments
for construction charges be extended
from ten to twenty payments, or in
lieu thereof, that the water users be
given the use of water for three or five
years without charge, or form of
graduated payments be adopted to en-
able the settlers to get the land under
cultivation, and on paying basis and
making it possible for them to meet
their obligations.
"Second-That the first clause of
section No. 6 of the irrigation act be
interpreted as mandatory, that operat-
ing and maintenance charge be paid
from the reclamation fund as provided
In said section 6.
Third That the engineers them
selves of reclamation projects be re-
quired to make statement quarterly
of the amount expended and for what
purpose.
Fourth We recommend that the
residence restriction as imposed by
section 5 of the irrigation act be re-
moved.
Fifth THAT the operation Of the
homestead law be restored, 80 that
final proof may be made either by COM
mutation or by settlement and when
so made, patents shall be issued there
fore, subject to the government lien
for construction charges.
Sixth That the cooperative plan
of the construction as heretofore
stated be egalized and operated
under government supervision.
Seventh We beg to submit to
your honorable body that these recon-
rnendations are based on actual expert
ence, and by men who are actual water
users and owners of land pledged to
the government for the payment of
construction charges, and therefore we
trust that these will be given due con-
sideration."

SECRETARY BLAlSDEu

Minot Optic:. That Secretary Of State
Alfred BlaisdelI of Minot will announce
himself as a candidate for congressional
honors appears certain. Mr.. Blaisdell
himself has been a tri1e reticent on the
subject. but friends who are in close
touch with him believe that an an
nouncament may be forthcoming any
day. Regarding the secretary Of states
future plans a close friend said to an
Optic representative today: Il look
for MI. Blaisdell to announce himself
as a candidate for congressional honors
almost any day. II is true that Mr..
Blaisdell has time and time again said
that he was out Of politics. but his
friends have been after him strong to
reconsider. We who have watched Mr..
Blaisdell's work as secretary Of state
know his ability and there is no ques-
ton but what he would receive the
strongest kind of support should he run
for congress. / believe we an look
for an announcement from the secretary

HABITS OF
the MEDICINE HOLE

The following letter. which appeared
in tn Juvenile page of the Sunday Trib-
N was written by Miss Helen Gus
kelly. young daughter of Joe Cuskelly of
this city, and is a we'll written and
interesting description of a Of the
special physical features of this part Of
the country:
''While out in the Klldeer mountains
this summer. I went up to see a hole
which is on the top of the peaks. and
which is called 1.-The Medicine Hole"
This hole is 50 deep that they have
never been able TO find the bottom,
although a rope has been dropped
hundreds of feet into it. The air from
this hole is very hot, and if one gets
very close to the edge. the current of
air is apt to draw him lin. If a large
stone is dropped into this hole. it makes
a noise like the eruption of a volcano.
There is fire in the Medicine Hole all the
time and people say there will be an
eruption some day.

In addition to this a specially con-

purpose of manufacturing gas for light,
heat and power from Ignite coal. This
will be n of the most perfect types Of
gas plants and large enough to produce

the HEBRON STATION
SOON TO Be OPENED

In order to promote the development of
the mining and allied manufacturing
interests of the state and especially
aid the utilization of our great deposits
of Ignite coal and our valuable clays, a
Mining Experiment Station las been
created as a part of the School of Mines
at the University and a branch Mining
Experiment Substation has been estab-
lished al Hebron, North Dakota.
The work of these two stations will be
carried on jointly. Certain lines of in
vestigation which require much labora-
tory equipment and research will be
taken up at the School of Mines. When
conclusions have been reached here
through experimental work in the labora-
tory, these conclusions will at once be
put to a practical working trial at the
testine out plant Of the sub station. In
other words, a large part Of the work Of
the sub station will be for the purpose of
proving in q practical way and on a
commercial basis, the conclusions
reached in the Laboratories.
In order to provide adequate facilities
for carrying on these investigations at
the university as well as to provide
room for the rapidly increasing number
of students taking Mining Engineering
work, it has been necessary to add two
wings to the School Of Mines building
and to employ additional assistance.
Certain laboratories will be set aside
for the experimental and research work
on gas, coal, clays, building materials,
etc, and for this work, the laboratories
will be among the very best equipped in
America. This work is unquestionably
of very great Importance toe the state.
The research which has already been
carried on in the Mining Engineering
colleae of the State University relative
to Ignite coal, gas and clays has at
tracted the attention of many men
throughout the country who are inter-
ested in these subjects. Il is intended
to build up laboratories and carry on
investigations which will be a help to
the state and in which citizens can have
pride.
The work which will be taken up most
vigorously during the coming year will
be for the purpose Of obtaining by inves-
tieatons and practical tests, q cheap and

Machinery and kilns of commercial
working size will be installed later for
practical testing Of the higher grade
clays.,
We expect to have the additions to the
School Of Mines building finished and
equipped within a month and the sub
station building at Hebron completed
and the machinery installed by the first
of December.
This work of the Schools of Mines and
Sub-station will be watched with
much interest by the people of the state
who are deeply concerned in all that

be given also to the utilization of the

NORTH DAKOTA SHIP
FASTEST one AFL0AI

officials Of the navy department
continue to manifest the greatest inter-
est IN the magnificent performances
of the b~attleship North Dakota on her
trail trip. While the American navy
is not equal to the British in numbers.
its quality is second to that of no navy
in the world. and the splendid shown 8
of the North Dakota has helped increase
this quality between us and the other
naval powers.
It is pointed out in this connection
by naval officers that a comparatively
few years ago b~atileships were not
built for speed. but wholly with refer
enc TO concentrating the maximum of
missile throwing power and simultane-
ously of short resistance. Now. however.
as the North Dakota shows. the battle
ship is also an ocean greyhound. The
North Dakota in service, it is said. could
inflict as heavy damage as any other
vessel afloat and outstrip any antagonist
either in pursuit or retreat.
All the naval powers look upon speed
as of the utmost importance in the
heavy ships of the navy. In the en-
counter of the ships Of Japan and Russia
in the Strait of Tsushima,, it is said.
victory was with the Japs largely be-
cause of their suprior maneuvering abil-
ity.
1t is predicted with absolute certain
ty that the North Dakota will not indef-
initely be the fastest battleship afloat.
Great Britain is now building severa.
slips of that type, and is making
special efforts to have them swift.
The German ''dreadnaushts'' are also
to be speedy. But the process of dis
tancins the present champion Of the
seas will not be easy. Her engines Of
the turbine type are the very best that
American ingenuity and skill can
produce, with present processes It may
be that the actual operations Of both
the Delaware and the North Dakota
at sea-they are sister ships will lead
to improvements. and it is assumed Of
course that in the construction Of the
ships now on the ways. advantage
will be taken Of every possible chance
of beneficial changea. But it is cer-
tain that for several years at least the
.'tlickertail state will have the honor
Of having Given its name to the fastest
battleship ever built. :

this empire. The past thirty years Of
oppression were not able to dry up these
fine rivers or wither this beautiful green
ness around you. Yet in the change

Our first effort must be the feeding and

works, the draining Of thousands Of
acres of swamp land, the building Of the
Baadad railway and electric plants, and
the construction of 3 harbor in Mersine
Misunderstanding which will improve the
country and afford work to many. The
carrying. forward Of these enterprise
and the organization Of an educational
system will. I hope make our province

faithful to the government, to he active
in your efforts to cooperate with it, to
be industrious in your own work. Do
not forget that God loves the industrious.
