Mr. kegley reports the convention
as one of the grandest meetings he
ever attended, with delegates from
every nation in the world present. All
phases of the tax question were dis
cused by men of prominence and
some able addresses were made. Mr..
Kegley said:
Il would not have missed it for
anything, but | am mighty glad TO

breath of good, pure and fresh air
IL was terribly hot and oppressive
all the time we were in Kentucky
ana come back more in love with
Washington than ever
There were many pleasant feat
ures to the convention, in spite of the
weather. The people of Louisville
entertained us royalty, with the free,
open-hearted hospitality of the South.
we were given banquet at which
covers were laid for 300 and not
drop of intoxicating liquor was on the
table. The governor of the state pre-
sided and he made the address of
welcome and drank toast with cold
water, that being the beverage used
exclusively at the banquet, and that
was in Louisville, Kentucky, once
known as the greatest whiskey state
in the Union"
Mr.. Kegley left Monday afternoon
for Vancouver and will spend several
days in southeastern Washington at
tending fairs and addressing the
oranges.

PIONEERS TO LEAVE PULLMAN
Mr.. and Mrs. Il. Il. Conklin Have Sold
Home and Go to Great Falls,
Montana

Another Pullman home has been
sold to family who desires to make
its home in Pullman because of the
educational advantages offered here.
The purchaser is j. w. Osborne, of
Seattle, and he bought the Conklin
home in Sunnyside addition for ST.
$50, and will take possession next
week. Mr.. and Mrs. Conklin leave
in ten days for Great Falls, Montana,
where Mr.. Conklin took a homestead
and desert claim last week.
Mr.. Conklin tells a story illustrat-
ling what has been and can be done
in this country. Nineteen years ago
/ last spring he came here from the
east and after paying freight on a
box of household goods he had Is
cents left with which to face the
world. He began work and finally
engaged in farming. He bought 100
acres of land from E. H. Letterman.
paying $4,000 for the land, partly
on time, and he paid for the land,
which he sold for $4,000, and had
SO head of cattle and 25 head of
work horses in addition to other
personal property when he gave up
farming.
future before the Great Falls dis
trict He took HON estead and de-
sert claim and that gives him 500
acres in body. He says the land
there is far ahead of the Big Bend
country and fully equal to the coun-
try around Endicott. He saw 35
bushels of wheat per acre threshed
from land near Great Falls. Asked
why it is that such good land has
been allowed to lay idle for so many
years when people are land hungry,
Mr.. Conklin said 1T is due to the
cattlemen. They have given out the
idea that the land was worthless and
kept settlers out They had it fenc-
ed and claimed the land until they
were compelled to take down their
fences. Three men had more than
100000 acres under fence. One man,
alone, had $4,000 acres fenced and
was pasturing it"
NJ. G. Gray and J. w. Mathews are
there now and it is reported that Mr..
Gray and w. L. LaFollette are plan
ming the purchase of one big ranch
OF 10000 acres, near Great Falls.
Mr. Gray has been seeking a location
for big breeding farm, and has
travelled extensively over the United
States with that end in view. He
and Mr.. LaFollette would make
strong team, and there is no doubt
that they are able to buy and handle
and size of ranch they want.

PSYCHOLOGY COAXES
SHIRT TO THE LAUNDRY

CHICAGO, March 21.-Every mar
passes through four psychological
states while sending shirt to the
laundry, wearing the shirt and sending
it back again.
This important and interesting die
tum was made to the laundryn1en III
annual convention here by A. F. Shell
don of Libertyville, ILL.,, who knows as
much about ironing shirt as he does
of psychology, which, of course, is the
science of the human soul and its ope-
rations.
First, the man feels an interest In
sending his shirt to the laundry" says
Mr.. Sheldon. "But before he sends II
his mind must take on the intenseness
of desire to send it. To provoke this
is the persuasive duty of the laundry
boy who solicits trade. The desire
must blaze until it melts the will
Then the shirt goes to the laundry
The shirt goes back If the man be sat
isfied; this satisfaction must be Guilt
waited by thelaundry itself"
These valuable statements were sub
mitted to Sam Wun Lung, who runs a
laundry and is philosopher of the
school of Confucius.
-Four psychological states" said the
Investigator to Mr.. Sam. Count 'em:
/. interest; 2, desire; 8, willingness;
satisfaction"
Pooh" said Sam. "Shirtee need
washee, that's allee;" and contemptu-
ously he sprinkled through his teeth
the garment he was ironing.

SANTA IF CLUB is
UNDER NEW BOARD
Stock Company Organizes and Takes
Over Crack Baseball Organ
ization of San Ber-
nardino

Information received by The Herald
from San Bernardino yesterday after
noon was to the effect that a stock
company had been formed at the Gate
city for the handling of the Santa Fe
ball club, the capital stock having been
placed at $25O0, of which a liberal
amount already has been subscribed.
The grounds and lease of the old club
and all concessions and liabilities VIII
be taken over by the new organization.
The Santa Fe team of San Bernardino
is one of the best clubs in the Assocla-
ton league and won eight of the series
of games played this season.
The officers elected were as follows T:
President, j. D. Elridge; vice president
and secretary G. j. Barker; manager,
J. E. Glenn; treasurer, Charles F. Cross.
These, with John Flack, constitute the
board of directors.
Independent games will be played in
the summer months with clubs of
Riverside, Redlands, Orange and Los
Angeles. All interested in the new Or
ganization have been more or less con-
nected with baseball in earlier days
and understand the fine points of the
national game. Nearly all the old play
ers will be kept with the exception of a
new man on the mound.

BATSMAN AVERAGES
WITH THE LEADERS
BILL GOODMAN PLAYS ALSO
EXCELLENTLY IN GARDEN
AnaeIeno Signs with Vernon, Refusing
to Accept Tempting Offer from
Manager of Seals of San
Francisco

"Bill' Goodman, playing center field
for the Vernon club of the Pacific
Coast league, is ranked as one of the
best outfielders in Southern California,
and it is predicted he will make good
in the fast company which he has
joined.
Goodman for a number of years
played with, captained and managed
the Hoegee team in the California
Winter league and was we'll liked by
the members of the aggregation. Bill
is a fast base-runner and is there like
a ferret in stealing and hitting the
earth. In the games in which he has
participated in semi professional ranks
he had a batting average of 800 Tor
the season and was looked on as one
of the leading willow men of the VIM
ter league. =.
1t was first reported Goodman would
sign with the Seals, but on account of
his parents objections he abandoned
the idea of leaving and signed with
the FLAPS" AS a manager Bill could
not be equaled in the south and was
"Johnny at the rat-hole" when there
was anything big to be discussed at
the meetings of the California Winter
league. During the absence of one of
the regular players on the Angel team
Bill was recommended by Happy,
then catcher for the pennant winners
of the Pacific Coast Championship.
Goodman always is good for hit
In any game in which he takes part
and he seldom makes a misplay in the
position of left garden, which he plays
in big league style.

HENSLlNG AND ANNIS C0NSlD-
Erred STAR TWIRLERS
AMATEURS SATISFY MANAGER
OF VERNON CLUB
Hap Hogan Only Fears Some Eastern
Scout May Induce His Star
Mound Men to Leave

Art Hensling and Fred Annis, pitch
arc For the Vernon team of the Pacific
coast team, are two of the pest known
slabsters in the south. Hensling mas
twirled for nearly every CLUB IN anna
teur ranks.
ganiZed Hensling was engaged 10
pitch for the San Bernardino club ana
made good in all stages of the game.
While twirling for the Maiers team
of the California Winter league ne
first came under the eye of Hap io-
gan, captain and manager OF the Ver-
IONS and he showed up SO well while
on the mound Hogan decided 10 KEEP
him on his pay roll. Hensling no DOUBT
is the smallest in stature OF any
pitcher in the Pacific Coast league. He
is better known as Witty" among
his teammates as his locks are of the
same color as the snow on top or
Mount Lowe. He has speed and
swift and accurate delivery, and no
doubt he will make good with Hogan 5
fast bunch of ball chasers.
Fred Annis is much older than his
brother pitcher. Annis graduated from
the Anaheim high school, where ne
made a reputation for himself In the
Orange county interscholastic league.
In one game he famed twenty-three
of his opponents. Annis also is an
effective pitcher, has a strong dellv-
cry and when in good condition
"burns" them in over the plate. For
a number of weeks Annis twirled for
the Edison team of the California
Winter league and was nicknamed
"Baldy" by his teammates. Hap is
well pleased with the showing made
by these two youngsters and predicts
a great future FOR them in few years
and says he will be satisfied with life
IL some of those "horrid" eastern
scouts do not take these two boys
away from him.
