estate market has been apparently
quiet for a new country, but the de-
mand for our soil has been persistent
and urgent, based on the value of the
property itself. When 1t can be shown
thar an annual profit OF from 20 to SO
per cent, and frequently more, can be
made from a tract of land by ordinary

sought after by men who are in the
farming, and do not look upon the
first cost of q farm as an affair Of
great importance. The first cost is
soon made up in bountiful crops and
good prices-mainly the latter. And
there is a general impression through
out the country that good prices for
farm products have come to stay

You see II will be manifestly impossi-

The action of the secretary is pure
" a ministerial one, and any action
he takes must OF course not hinder
in any way the popular expression

matter what method the secretary
uses. the voters are bound to eventu-
ally select two candidates, whose
names will be presented before the
next legislature. 1t Is abvious that
the legislature when it meets would
give the long term to the popular
candidate who had the highest vote
and the short term to he candidate
who had the next high vote, provid-
ed the legislature really desires to
follow the desires of the voters as

1t is quite probable that no candi-

per cent, thus making necessary a
second contest at the November cleo
ton.
AS long as the secretary receives
candidates petitions made out in these
three different ways, it would seem
that his own action would be to ar
range the ballot in such form as to
discriminate the least against all of
them, and then that the supreme
court would decide when the test is
made, as it surely will be made when
the time comes.

KARP AND YOKEL
May MEET ON MAT
Meeting of Parties Called
Interest in the Bout Is
Wide.

While no definite answer from the Y.
NJ. C A. has been received to the chal-
lenge extended by Stanley Karp TO Mike
Yokel. the Association instructor, it was
stated yesterday that a meeting would
he held this week to draw up articles for
the bout.
The prospect Of two Of the best welter-
weight wrestlers in the country meeting
n Salt Lake has aroused interest in the
mat game and hundreds of fans IN Salt
Lake win be glad to hear that the match
has been arranged.
Under Yokers contract with the Y. NJ.
c. A. he is allowed two professional
the Association to land the best men
possible. For a time certain objections
were placed against Karp on account of
the Johnson-Karp match of q year ago.
The demand for the match, however
showed that a big gate might be eX-
pected and now the Association commit
tee is willing to talk business,
One of the committee stated yesterday
that Karp would be expected to post
bond as to weight, appearance and TO
prevent his talking to the audience"
Without going into the merits of karp'
action when he quit his match with
johnson after the latter had admitted
that he (JohnsOn) was creased and had
attempted for more than an hour 10 throw
Karp it is safe to say that Karp is
making friends in Salt Lake and that
match between YOkel and Karp, between
145 and $50 pounds, would not only be
q good one, but would be attended by
large and representative following of low
ers of the game.

SIGNAL CORPS FIVE TOO
FAST FOR REGULARS

The Signal Corps basketball team de-
feated the team Of Company D, Fifteenth
infantry, by a score Of 80 to %, in the
National Guard armory, last night, in
the first game Of the season for the
guardsmen. The five from the corps
played a fast game when they got down
to business in the second half. The first
half ended In a score of is to Il for the
Signal Corps. and in the second half they
started in with a rush and carried the
regulars off their feet
Eight of the points Of the regulars were
gained on free throws for fouls, as
'F'renchie." captain OF the Company d
team, scored a point on every chance
for free throws. The game was fast
from start to finish and clean through
out. The fouls were merely technical and
no rough work was seen during the two
twenty minute halves
The game was the first one Of the sea-
son for the Signal Corps, and others will
be scheduled with other teams of the
Fifteenth and of the guard. In the near
future a game will be played with Com
pany F at Maqti, which will be the first
of the National Guard series. Companies
H and c and the battery, of Salt Lake,
all have teams which they will put into
the field at once and will start the game
off at a lively clip here for the first time
in several years.
The Signal Corps team was composed
of Book and Hannibal, forwards; Hume,
center; Armstrong and Richardson,

GLOOMY OUTLOOK
FOR WASHINGTON
Fans Give MCAIeer Small Hope
of Bettering Last Place
in 1910.
BY J. ED. GRILLO.

Washington, Nov. 27.-If Washington
1910 ball team does not show any better
form than did the team last season there
Is not going to be much disappointment
in this neck Of the woods. For once no
one seems to think that the Nationals
have a chance to better their position.
Every one comedies that there is little
chance of the team making a much bet
ter showing than II did last year. This
very fact may be a good omen.
Last winter we were being handed bou-
quets all along the American League cir
cult; The team was picked to have a
good chance for q first division berth,
and what happened? 1t finished last.
after one of the most disastrous seasons
in the history Of Washington baseball.
There was hardly department on the
team which did not fall down lamen-
tably. The pitcher failed to do anything
like the work of the year before, the
hitting went all to pieces, and the eff
rect OF a miserable start took from the
players that spirit which counts so much
in all athletic contests.
This time we do not expect anything
from the team. With a better break Of
luck II would win a greater percentage
of games than it did last season, but
after all 1t is hard to see how IL can
Wriggle out Of last place. Now it is just
possible that there is a surprise in store
Tor the fans. Mayhap the team will make
a much better showing than is antici-
pdteCt just as IL made a worse one tnan
could be dreamed of last season.
McAleer will be very apt to start the
season with the same team Cantillon left
here, and that was not such a bad lot
at that True, it did not win with any
amount of regularity. but it was a team
which always made its opponents hustle
to beat it, and with a little more batting
strength or more consistent work on the
part Of the pitchers might have finished
strong. Now IT is just possible that there
will be a revival of hitting along the
local line. In fact, there will have to
be before McAleer can make a better
showing than did Cantillon. That the
pitching will be better than it was seems
assured, for Groom and Gray should
have benefited by their years experience
in fast company, while Johnson may get
away better. Then, too, there is Walker,
a youngster who displayed remarkable
class in the four games he pitched, ana
with winters rest at Hot Springs With
erup should come back to form
With the pitchers vastly improved, the
hitting would not have to be much
stronger than it was last year to better
the teams standing, but If the pitchers
do not pitch afr-tight ball the team win
have to hit and get runs or again finish
at the bottom.

u. OF j. BASKETBALL
Outlook Bright for Fast Team and
Outside Games With Montana
and Colorado.

With the closing of the football
season the athletes of the state uni
versity are beginning to look forward
TO the basket ball season. which is now
close at hand, and the track season
which will begin as soon as weather
permits. In preparation for the out
door track work this spring Coach
Maddox is going to insist upon sys-
tematic gymnasium training during the
winter months in order that the men
will be in the best OF condition.
A meeting of the managers OF the
various athletic teams representing
the colleges in the state will be called
for the coming week for the purpose
of arranging a basket ball schedule
Each team will play two games with
each of the other teams in the league.
Utah is also preparing for a con-
quest outside of the state, an invita-
ton from the Montana Aggies to give
Utah a game having been received. In
addition to this the Utah manager has
already opened communication with the
schools of Colorado for a Colorado
trip. providing return dates can be ar
ranged.

DECISION ABOUT QUEER
PLAY CAUSE OF FIGHT

Queer are some of the plays which are
pulled off on the diamond, but the follow
ing, which happened last season in
game in Huntington, Ind, is the limit;
There was a runner on first case, an
other on third, and they started double
steal The Huntington catcher threw TO
third and caught the runner of the Dase'
trapping him between the bags. Whlle
the catcher and third baseman were run
ming him down, the third baseman threw
badly and the bail instead of reaching
the catcher, went inside the shirt OF the
base runner. who instantly turned and
raced for the plate.
The ball had gone into the runners
shirt, which was open in front, and rolled
around to the back and stuck out above
the belt. AS he raced past the catcher
the catcher gave chase, caught the pro-
tuberance of the back of the shirt, held
to il and touched the runner inside Of his
own shirt The umpire called the runner
safe and then reversed the decision.
Meanwhile the man with the BAH In MS
shirt kept on to the bench and the other
runner followed him home. The umpire,
after thinking it over, called the first
man safe because the infielder interfered
with him in grabbing his shirt, and called
the second runner out because the base
runner interfered with the fielder by car
rying away the ball. The decision started
a fight.
What do you think of it, Mr.. Fan?

CHANGES IN BASKETBALL
RULES ARE IMPORTANT

Changes in the rules Of basketball as
made in the conference include the fol-
lowing: A dribble shall refer to the con-
tinuity of the motion of the ball and
not to the continuity of motion OF man.
This is aimed to prevent player from
renewing a dribble when the ball has
once come to a stop in his hands. The
field of the referees duties has been
increased by permitting him TO call fouls
on the eight players, exclusive Of the
man with the ball and his opponent The
advantages of local playing floors have
been minimized by the addition to the
rules of a section to the effect that the
ball which returns to the court from out
of bounds, without having touched any
player, shall be considered dead. This
rule is aimed to prevent a player from
deliberately making a carOm off the wall
and thus taking advantage Of his op-
ponent's unfamiliarity with the floor
Plate glass backgrounds to the goals
have been legalized. 1t is legislated also
that to run with the ball>is to advance
more than one foot If both feet are
advanced the pass or throw is Illegal.

GREAT ARRAY Of STARS
FOR Y. NJ. c. A. TEAM

At a meeting Of the Y. NJ. c. A. bas-
ketball men held last night at the as
sociation, Vern Metcalf, member of the
19OS-O9 Y NJ. c. A. five and a former
star player on the L. D. S. teams, was
elected captain for the present season.
Metcalf is one of the fastest forwards
in the state and his experience at the
game qualities him as a team leader.
Perhaps the most formidable array OF
basketball candidates that a Utah five
has had at the start of a season was
selected as the association first team
squad, which will be coached by ElwOod
9. Brown
The squad is made up Of Metealf, Ham,
mond, Wilcox, Anderson, Grunfor, Gum,
Bloomquist and Hoisington. All are vet
Grams at the game, having played on the
fastest teams in the state. All but An
derson have PLAYED on the association
before, Anderson's experience being con
fined to four years on the crack L. d.
S. five.
Practice will start at once. Coach
Brown expects many outside games, with
a trip to Colorado and the northwest in
view.

LOTS OF TALK MAY
EVENTUALLY DO GOOD

New York, Nov. 27.-FOOtball en-
thusiasts here are already discussing
the possibility of arranging further in
tersectional games for next year. If
Dartmouth does not play Princeton, 1t
may meet Minnesota in a game which
football men say will be one of the
most notable of the season. Michigan
and Pennsylvania will probably meet
again, and it is said Chicago is anxious
to get another eastern game, in addi-
ton 70 the one with Cornell. 1t IS
hoped that either Annapolis or West
Point may be induced to put the Chi
cagoans on their schedule.
