EVANS PROVES EASY
: MONEY FOR FORREST
Local Man Beats Reno Wonder
Nearly One lap Over Mile
Course on Rollers.

Joe Forrest is still the undefeated
champion Of the world for the mile on
rollers. and further retains the cham
pionship Of Honolulu. That man Evans,
night, was still after him at the finish.
Forrest had time to fall down and pick
himself up, and then beat the whirl-
wind from Reno almost a lap. It was
seventeen and a quarter times around
to the mile, and Joe covered the dis
lance in three minutes and seventeen
seconds. This was not very fast time,
but fast enough to beat Ed Evans. For
rest has done the mile in two minutes
and f0rtv-four seconds.
The new wonder from Nevada did
not look the right build for skating
compared with Joe Forrest, and last
night result. Evans is rather too
heavy in the spindles, while Joe has a
pair of jumpers like a bullfrog, that
put forth a great spring and give him
momentum for the glide around the
turn. When he crouches and gets in
the back stroke with his kickers, then
run right away from the speed limit.
Evans didn t seem to be at ease on the
track. The turns came too quick and
short for him. and he never seemed to
be able to get under full Roadway.
Loses Lead by Fall.
Forrest started right off in the lead
at the crack Of the gun, with Evans
close on his heels The second time
around Forrest fell down at the turn
and the Reno man gained quite a lead
on him. Evans kept a few PAGES ahead
until the sixth lap, and then Forrest
crawled little way past him at the
upper turn. They ran pretty close to-
gether for while, and one of the off
cials said, eff Joe throws this race ii

make, and the crowd whooped it up for
their favorite. Asked why he didn't
make better time Joe said 81 didh' t
have to.
William Ellerhrock popped the gun
for the start about nine 0 clock, and
took a couple more cracks at the finish.
Mike Patton was announcer, and also
one of the venerable iudges. George
F. Wilkinson and W. B. Bolster were
the other high dignitaries on the bench,
although they rendered their decisions
standing. A. c. solomon and V. L. Ste
venson kept tab on the racers as time
keepers.
Challenges Evans.
, Ed Evans looks like easy money to
Manuel Freitas who holds second place
in the skate marathons. He handed in
challenge TO The Advertiser last night
to race Evans for purse next Sunday.
Forrest only beat Freitas by one mile
and two laps over the twenty-six mile
course when the champion nearly tied
the world s record. Freitas is only
voungster, but he's got that slim build,
with the elastic spring, which seems to
| account very largely for Joe Forrest s
record.
There was an unusually large crowd
at the rink last night and a fair ma
joritv had skates on. Only the roller
kind, though. A great aggregation of
sailor boys from the cruiser Albany and
the combination transport and cruiser
Buffalo were there doing the glide, ana

Gray Ghosts.

That part of Siberia which lies east
of the great inland sea, Lake Baikal,
and west of the mighty Amur, which
here turns abruptly and bends north
ward is known as trans Baikalia. The
Stanovoi range of mountains, contin-
uing to the south, divides it nearly in
halves, forming watershed that
feeds the lake on one side and the
Amur and its tributaries on the other
The ftrans-Siberian railway, the
great artery through which the blood
of Russia flowed uninterruptedly
from AleXandrov to Vladivostok and
Port Arthur, pierces these mountains
at an advantageous point and, pass
ing through Stryetensk, breaks into
Manchuria.
On river in trans.Baikalia that
/ mighty ant-trail, sledge was flying
eastward, drawn by three horses, all
abreast The river was frozen to the
very heart and SHOWS, drifting
over it, had swept and polished
its surface till it was smooth
as glass. Wrapped in furs and his
head shrouded in thick cap, the
driver sat on the forward seat, partly
protected by the highlcurving dash
and managed the lines. On low seat
behind him were a man and a woman,
also wrapped deep in robes of fur,
while third woman sat silent in the
bottom of the sledge.
Somewhere behind them the rails
had spread and the road had given out

LESSEN WATER LOSS
Large Volumes Lost by Absorp-
ton in Canal Systems.
One Of Most Common Sources Of
Shrlnkase is From Faulty Prep
aration of Surface SoiI-An-
sther Is Lack of Attention.

Recent investigation made by the
experiment stations have shown that
the quantity of water which plants use
forms but small part Of that which
is diverted from streams for irriga
ton purposes. Large volumes are
lost by absorption and seepage in the
earthen channels. of canal systems.
Similar losses occur in the bitches
which supply farms and large part
of the remair>ler is wasted in irriga-
ting crops. The farmer is chiefly con-
cerned In lessening the waste of wa
ter in his supply ditch and on his
farm. In localities where water is
scarce. the supply ditch should be
made water-ught. This may be done
by lining the channel with cement
concrete. cement plaster asphalt.
heavy crude oil. or clay puddle.
Fumes or pipes may ak.o be used as
substitute for an eartbern ditch.
One of the most common sources
OF loss of water is poor preparation
of the surface. When the soil is ir-
rigated by flooding from field laterals
an uneven surface causes needless
waste of water. extra labor in spread
ing 1t over the surface. and smaller
yields. The water flows into the low
places. which receive too much and
may become water-logged. while the
high places are left without water
and the crop thereon is dwarfed The
surface between field laterals should
be SO evenly graded that water will
flow In thin sheet over the entire
surface. the excess being caught up
by the lower lateral.
Another common cause Of waste is
the lack Of attendance. Water is oft
en- turned on a portion Of field and
permitted to run without attention for
hours and oven days. On some farms
the irrigators look after the water for
ten hours and turn 1t loose for the
balance of the day. Under this prac-
tice the low places received too
much. the high places little or none.
and a large part flows OF the field to
the injury of the roads and adjoining
farms.
Too shallow and too frequent irriga-
ton is another source of waste. Wet
ting the surface and neElecting to cul
tivate 1t afterwards my result In

In this way. For most plants. and
