HILL BACKING PORTER BROS.

All doubt that James j. Hill is
the power behind the anti-Harri.
man invasion of Central Oregon
may be brushed aside. Too many
developments bearing directly
upon the gigantic struggle now
being waged for this rich empire
indicate this to admit of question,
says the Telegram.
The Oregon Trunk people are
planning to bridge the Columbia
to connection with the North
Bank road. This has leaked out
today. Porter Brothers. who
own the Oregon trunk rights
have been in conference today
with Attorney James B. Kerr,
the Hill lawyer who whipped and
routed Hartman, 8 legal lights at
every issue when the o. X. Il N.
was trying to block the Hill line
down the Washington shore of
the Columbia. 1t is known that
Mr.. Kerr has been engaged for
some time picking up the odds
and ends Of the situation that
may result in litigation between
the Deschates River road and
the Oregon Trunk. and that one
Of the purposes Of today's confer
ence between the Porters and
Lawyer Kerr is to decide upon a
course of action that shall fur
ther harass the Hartman forces.
John F. Stevens. the confden-
tial representative Of James J,
Hill. who had until a few days
ago been here for a month study
ing the Central Oregon situation,
was a frequent conferee with At
torney Kerr about matters per-
tanning to railroad building into
the long-neglected territory.

According to DIR. Withycombe
the system of dry farming is
really a simple matter that re-
quires only common sense and a
little study of local conditions.
If that is right let us not have
the intelligence of our farmers
challenged but really make a sue
cess Of the work.

The yield of grain in certain
portions of this county is certain

we have not had quite one-half

that it is necessary to put in

will have greater success.

FINED $50 AND COSTS.

Fred Yonker, who conducts saloon
at ll9 Clinton street, appeared in
municipal court yesterday and entered
plea of guilty TO the charge of hav-
ing sold liquor without having a
license to do so. The offense was COM
mitted the week of the county fair.
The council, without the mayors
sanction, gave Yonker permission to
transfer his business to a vacant lot
on the street leading to the fair
grounds, it being his intention to sell
liquor there during the week of the
fair. He was visited by committee
of the Law and Order league and
asked to desist the sale of intoxicantS
but refused, claiming that inasmuch
as the council had given him permits
sion he intended TO keep on doing bus
mess. A warrant was then served on
himself and bartender charging each
with the same offense, and the case
has been hanging fire from that time
to now. Upon plea of guilty being
entered the court assessed a fine of
$50 and costs and discharged the bar
tender, Albert Pregont.

FOOTBALL.

In the return game with the An
tigo high school, played at the high
school Saturday, each team scored 10
points. This is the second tie game
that our team has played this year,
the other being at Stevens Point, Oct.
%. Considering the disadvantage UNI
der which the Wausau team has been
playing, having lost three of their
best men, this is a very good record.
THE GAME.
Wausau kicked off, but Amigo lost
the ball on its 50-yard line. From
here Wausau carried the ball by a
series of long gains for the first touch
down, Lampert crossing the line with
the ball. Lampert failed to kick
goal. Score, so.
Wausau again kicked off and for the
next ten minutes the play ranged be-
tween the 30-yard lines. Then Wau-
sau again secured the ball on its so
yard line. A forward pass to j. Dean,
a long gain through the line by Lamp
ert, run around the end by Alex
ander, and a center smash in which
Lampert carried the ball over, gave
us our second touch down. Lampert
missed hard kick. Score, 100.
Amigo kicked of and WauSau car
ried the ball to their opponents 30
yard line. Here it was lost on a
tumble and Amigo, through spectacu-
lar runs and fake plays, scored a
touchdown, Brown crossing the line
with the ball. Amigo failed TO kick
goal. Score, 1915.
In the rest of the half neither side
carried the ball very far, and it re-
manned near the middle of the field.
In the first part of the second half
Wausau had decided advantage, one
time getting the ball to within yard
of the goal, but lost it on downs and
Amigo punted out of danger. But
during the latter part, Amigo had
everything its own way. Willard and
Brown made repeated long gains
which our boys seemed unable to pre-
vent. Our boys were great on the de-
fensive and three times held Amigo
within few yards of the goal. With
a few seconds yet to play, Amigo
again approached almost to the goal,
and or the third down Brown ran
around the left end into the crowd,
which had pushed onto the field He
lodged around in the crowd and be-
cause of this two of our boys who
w ere after him, could not tackle him
until he had scored a touchdown.
Amigo failed to kick goal and the
half ended leaving the score a tie,
1910.
If it had not been for the unruly
crowd, which would not stay back of
the ropes, Brown would not have got
ten by our men and the game would
have been Wausau's. 1t seems that
the crowd should at least help the
team by giving it clear field and
chance to win the game.
There were an unusual number OF
accidents, especially to those on the
Amigo team. The hard fought bat
tie was the cause of this.
