EXPENDS
MUCH ON AGRICULTURE

Washington. - Secretary Wilson
has issued a statement pointing out
that the United States government is
spending in the neighborhood of $751;
100000 year on experimental work
in increasing the yield and efficiency
of the farms of the country. The
statement was inspired by the charge
made by William c. Brown, president
of the New York Central lines, at
dinner in New York last week, that
the natien could better afford to in
vest the cost of one battleship in ag
ricultural experiment work than to
expend it in the increase of the navy.
A battleship costs approximately So
100000.
Secretary Wilson declares that the
government is expending each year
exactly twice as much as two first
class battleships cost, and the money
is being used in precisely the manner
recommended by President Brown.
The association given the farmers of
the United States, the secretary de-
clares is not confined to any locality.
AS an instance of the aid of the de-
partment renders, Secretary Wilson
recited the case of farmer who was
raising only twenty bushels of pota-
toes to the acre and who, dissatisfied,
appealed to the department for as
sistance and advice. Both were CIV
en- him promptly and Mr.. Wilson says
he is now raising $50 bushels to the
acre on the same land, as a result of
using the seed and the information
given him by the government

BAKER HIGH AMBITIOUS.
Challenge Tacoma for Game to De-
eide Northwest Championship.

The Baker City high school foot
ball team is out after the champion
ship of the northwest and to secure
this honor they have offered to bring
the Tacoma High school here on
Thanksgiving day to play the great
est game of football ever seen here.
If the game with Tacoma cannot be
secured it is probable that some team
from the Willamette valley VIII be
brought here.
The fine showing made at Pendle-
ton and the excellent team work
which the boys die there have led
many to believe that they stand a
good show to win the honors of the
northwest. But to defeat Tacoma
would require much work in the
open style of playing and if the game
can be secured the locals will spend
much time in perfecting their for
ward passes and other plays that
would be good ground gamers. The
game last Friday showed that the
boys We're always there in the old
style of straight football and do eX-
cellent team work. They also know
how to run interference and put up a
good game.
1t is probable that if the game with
Tacoma is scheduled a coach will be
secured to perfect the team in the
open style of play and to put the
finishing touches on their play. The
| boys have worked hard for the hon
ors they have gained and they have
| the material for the fastest and best
team in the northwest. The weight
is there and can be arranged where
it will be most effective, while there
are seceral speedy men on the team

game again this season and while hi:
work in the back field will be missed

NIGHT RIDERS TRIAL
Half a Dozen Character Witnesses BE
came Statc'S Witnesses.


Union City, Tenn, Dee. 31.-A half
dozen character witnesses summoned
in behalf of the eight alleged night
riders now on trial We're suddenly
transformed into witnesses for tho
State this evening.
These witnesses included Rev. John
r. Williams. Justice of the Peace
stephen Fields and five others. Each
declared hat Garrett Johnson bore
q good reputation and that FRANK
Fehringer, the confessed night rider.
was a man of bad reputation. But
each also declared that ever since
night riding began Johnson was sus-
pected of being the captain OF the
band, and that while Fehringer was
known as a "bOot-legger" of WhlSkey.
he had a reputation for telling the
ruth.
The Acknowledgement asked Justice
Field if he were not only a sympa-
thizer with the night riders. but an
actual member of the band. The
Justice denied the allegation and a
mild sensation was created when At
torney Pierce, of the defense, declared
that he proposed ito hold the Attor-
ney-General responsible in court and
out of court for indignities, d~iscOurte-
sizes and insults whereto the Attor-
ney-General responded that he was
willing to be held responsible by Mr..
Pierce either in court or out of court,
for anything he had said or done.
The court admOnished the attorneys
hat unless the chickering's ceased
members of the bar GOULD find them

cific intentions, and thus the incident
closed.
