SON

Brown and Pigeon.
Dean Stratton reports that some very
promising material Is registered,
among which appeared q number of
last years veterans. He assured the
new coach OF the hearty support Of the
faculty and students.
Following the above speakers Mr..
watkins was heard. He Is very en-
thusiastic and is expected to produce
a winning team.
He realizes that there Is hard
proposition ahead Of him, coming as he
does in the place OF popular and
successful coach, but said: Why
not surmount all these obstacles, and
make last years team standard for
future football, and il possible have a
better team?''
The new coach has the work at heart
and only asks for the cooperation or
the fans and students
Another subject treated by him was
that OF gymn work. which he will en-
courage and systematic, so as to give
credit for gymn work. He will also
start indoor track meets, an athletic
branch heretofore neglected.
Thursday afternoon football mana
ger will be elected, who. with the
coach, will try and arrange a schedule
for the coming season. as the coach
wishes to base his system of practices
on the games scheduled. Ralph Bayard
is acting as manager at present.

returned, all strong players. Besides
these q large number will try for the
team. among them Hal Pollock Mac
namara, Callander and Horner, and
many others from out of town, and
from the preparatory department, and
last years second team.
A strong back field is already assur-
ed, and from the husky material avail
able for the line, a first class team is
In sight, which win soon give the citi-
zens of the state an exhibition of good,
fast football.
"A game will probably be scheduled
again with the A, G. to decide the
championship OF the city. It was won
last year by Fargo college, and the
boys OF that institution seem very anx-
ious to retain the laurels.

Friday night, when he meets Sam

When Retchel came in from vigor-
GUS road run he jumped on the

started and 1t has been thick recently.
Magee, always moody player, has
gotten up on his ear and has been sus-
pended for INSTRUMENTATION. This has
hit the fans hard and also the team
Magee Is one of the most brilliant
players In the game today. but work

protest, Magee Is out Of uniform.

THE PACIFIC COAST
AND THE JAPENESE

The readers OF newspapers of our
New England and Central states, will
understand more fully the real situa-
tion in California and Nevada on the
japanese question by carefully read
ing the dispatches from that section
fearing upon this mUmentous
question. The trouble with the
eastern people is that they are too
far away to fully comprehen the
actual conditions on the coast, While
President Roosevelt is anxious to pre-
vent any drastic legis alton in these
men. it is morally certiin that he does
not fully comprehend the seriousness
of the japanese invasion in that terri
tory.
1t is a question in California and in
Oregon and Washington as well,
whether they shall submit to a peace
fun invasion of the japanese or re-
sist through exclusion, incur the
displeasuTe Of Japan and possibly
precipiJate war,
California and Nevada desire
neither war with Japan nor peaceful
invasion of coast territory with cheap
labor and industrial pursuit in COM
petition with home labor aud iDdust-
~, yet these states cannot be expect
ed to stand idly py and permit such
conditions to exist without entering
vigorous protest and moulding that
protest into legislation.

EIGHT FEET OF SNOW
IN ASHLAND COUNTY

How would you like to live ia Ash
land county? "Snow eight feet deep
in drifts, that's what they are con-
tending with on the railroads atand IN
the vicinity of Ashland" said trave-
Ter the other day who returned from
a business trip to the northern part
of the state.
So deep has the fluffy white mantle
become since the recent storm that
visited that section, that nothing less
than a double-header engine can
make any Roadway on the lines radi-
ating from that city. The traveller
cited an instance of passenger train
leaving Ashland headed by two en-
gines and it required oyer an hour and
the drifts for more than mile out of
Ashland. It's not only on the railroads
that this condition of affair obtains.
but on the streets of the city, and
the outlying or country districts as
we'll. The latter are literally snow
bound, so that but very little farm
produce is brought TO the city.
Several recent Snow-StormS in rapid
succession have almost completely
buried some parts of the city of Ash
land and the snow pillow, shovel and any
other creation of man to brush away
snow from tratficable thoroughfares
is very much in evidence these
days.

y. w. Alumni and the resident
members in the city held a banquet
in the Witter Manual Training
and Domestic Science building, at
which about seyenty-tive were seated.
The ladies of the Federation were in

it was doing for the state: B. Il. Cog
gins, j. A. Gaynor, Theo. ". BraZeau
and j. T. Hooper of Ashland. all of
whom responded in their usual inter
esting manner. All present expressed
themselves as we'll pleased with the
banquet and its features and it acted
as stimulus upon the U. w. Alumni
in this city for the extension of
University work ia the state.
At the close of the banquet they
all repaired to the Lincoln High
school buildings auditorium where
they listened to an address upon the
subject 1.-The Gospel of work" by Prof.
E. B. Bryan of Franklin University of
Franklin, Ind. His address was ex-
cellent and full OF good thought that
will prove of great value to those who
heard him. The High School orches-
ira furnished several selections pre-
ceding the lecture, and Miss Asher
sang two solos, all of which were
much enjoyed
After the lecture a reception was
held in the Manual Training audience
room to give the people OF Grand
Rapids an opportunity to meet with
the visiting teachers of the associa-
ton.

This State is Good Farming
Land and its Eastern and
Central Parts are Great
Grain Growing Districts,
While the Western Part is
Devoted to Grazing.

North Platte, Nebr., Feb. s, 'O9.
Editor REPORTER;
My dear Sir:
Most people living east of the
! Missouri River, naturally think of
| Nebraska as being much alike all over.
The state presents striking con.
i traSt to this common and natural
| idea. 1t must be thought of as some
thing double. All the central and
| eastern part makes one of our greatest
grain growing districts, While the
western is equally valua ole in its way
as a great grazing country.
! The cause for this division in farm
i ing and grazing lands, is not artificial
and intended, but natural. 1t is
self evident fact that men learn by
experience. by unfortunate experience
chiefly. The tuition in this school
was high and the settlers had to earn
It as they went along.
The history of western Nebraska
has been enough to condemn it in the
minds of the majority of American
people. It is az the same time his
tory that is misunderstood. The early
settlers in this country all wanted to
farm in their accustomed way, to i'm
prove the quarter section they had
chosen, break the sod, reap the har-
vest, establish the home and remain
in the country as farmers exclusively,
with no other resources.
The story need hardly be further
told. Disaster followed. The western
region beyond a certain line. became
the land Of blasted hopes.
They invented picturesque phrases
wherewith better and more briefly
and emrhatically to describe the al
legged God forsaken country they bad
tried and abandoned. This was the
situation in which some twenty years
ago, a region was left which to-day
has within it more possibilities for out
Of door money making than any part
of Nebraska, Then as a first result,
the cattle barons came,-men who
were financially able to try extensive
experiments aud they were the first
to occupy the land in the cattle indus
try This man had bis lessons learn
ed from the experience of his prede-
cessors. He was not looking for a
grain country.
The striking featuresto a stranger,
at present is the scattering groups of
grazing cattle that even in nid-win-
ter, dot the landscape. The grass
would not to the stranger, seem of
much value if he saw it in mid-sum~
mer. 1t was not thick on the ground
and was brOwner than it was green.
There is charm in this western
plains life. The country is SO dotted
with windmills, that to the passer-by
they are feature of the landscape,
and the western Nebraska breeze does
not remain idle an hour in the twenty
four.
1T may safely be said that this coun-
try does not represent anything the
newcomer ever saw before, looked at
from a view point of a place in which
to make a home. There is no mud
and there are no s@amps. The country
roads wind among the hills and
through the valleys, called here, di-
