GEINKGO LEAF AIDS SCIENCE
Spokane Professor Discovers Evil
dence Showing Japan and Ameri-
ca Once Connected.

Spokane, Wash.-Prof. T. A. Bonser,
member of the faculty of Spokane col
lege, has made a find of Importance to
scientists the world over by the dis
covery of a geinkgo leaf in a deep cut
near this city. He declares this con
firms the theory that North America
and Japan were connected by land
centuries ago, adding:
"The geinkgo is distinct among
plants, in that it is without near rela-
tives. There is only one genus and
one species of it extant, and this is
found only in Japan. While to the lay
l the finding of the geinkgo, buried
deep in the soil, means little or moth
ing, to scientists it is a very important
discovery, confirming the theory that
some time in the dim past this CONT
lent and Japan were connected by
land"
Prof. Bonser believes that as soon
as the news of his discovery is given
to the world some of the foremost sci.
entists in the country will come to this
part of the northwest to carry on re-
esarch work in the Columbia basin
and nearby hills.

Perhaps the most beautiful spot on
the river, as it is the most famous in
romance, is Randolph's Leap. This
part Of the river is open to the public
on Wednesdays throughout the sea-
son; it involves a drive or cycle run
of about 10 miles from Forres, or a
short walk from Dunphail station and
no n should fail to pay a visit to

scenery in the country. Curiously
enough, Randolph never leaped over

who performed this feat during the
fight known as the Battle of the Lost

in FAST GAME

The foot ball game Saturday was
exciting from start to finish. AL.
though the College team was defeated
by score of "a to 0, they put up a
good game against the State Uni.
versity, which outweighted them II
pounds to the man. Twice during
the game the local players held their
neavy opponents for downs on the
Vineyard line, and the three at
tempts by the varsity boys to cross
the line for a touchdown were un-
successful. Two 3O-minute halves
were played and the game was much
more interesting and better football
was played by both elevens than the
score would indicate. In the second
half the varsity team successfully
worked the forward pass and those
conversant with the game, and es-
pecially the forward pass, marvel
ed at the execution of these PLAYS
at the hands of the northern men.
In the first half the varsity men
twice reached the five-yard line and
the second time in three attempts
crossed the goal line. That was all
the scoring in the first half. In the
second half the weight of the var
sity boys began to tell heavily in
favor, and toward the last of the half
scored three touchdowns and kicked
goals. The forward pass entered
largely into the results, for the uni
versity men could not gain through
the line or by end runs. They got
away, however, with a number Of
forward passes against their less ex-
perienced opponents.

"The approximate aggregate of
lands subject to adjustment under the
railroad land grants in national for
ests, within the primary limits, which
are unsurveyed is 6,057 400 acres.
"These lands cannot be surveyed
out of the present or general appro-
priations by congress for the survey
of public lands, as such survey with
out additional legislation would not
give the department authority to re-
imburse itself out of the lands in case
of failure of the private owners to
make repayment on demand. There
is no incentive for the grantees of
these lands to ask for surveys and to
make deposits therefor, inasmuch as
until surveyed they are not subject to
state or other legal taxation. This
is undoubtedly the main reason for
the failure of the railroad companies
to expeditiously perfect title. It is
also apparent from this state of facts |
that the small timber land owner

The Grange at Wilderville.

Having heard that the Grange at
Wilderville was about to die, and
being especially desirous that 1t
should live, we went over to see for
ourselves and met with the Grange
on Saturday, January 2, 1903, and
found it not only alive but possessed
of considerable enthusiasm. Grange
was opened at about 10 A. NJ, the
forenoon session being devoted to
closing up the business of the past
year and appropriate talks on good
of the order" bringing out the SEN
tlment that we cannot let the Grange
die because there is too much at
stake. In the afternoon the officers
were installed, after which returning
TO good of the order" some short
speeches were made and the mem
bers got busy paying dues.
Today's meeting was surely very
encouraging to the writer, for after
going through the first year of its
existence (which is the trying per-
iod Of all Granges) and other Craw-
backs which it has met in as good
order as it has, is enough to assure
us that it has already become per-
manelt fixture.
The time has come when success
in everything depends on organiza-
ton The farmer for many reasons,
will not here attempt to discuss,
has been slower in taking up the
matter of thorough rganization,b but
he has become alive to the great
benefits socially, educationally and
financially to be obtained through
the Grange, and is organizing as
rapidly as possible under the pres
ent circumstances.
And it behoves everyone whether
he be eligible to membership or not
to do all in his power to forward the
Grange movement, for if facts and
figures are worth anything, upon the
success of the agriculturalist the
business of the world in all its var
ious branches depend.
