Doubtful Identity.

Cricket Is the national game of En-
gland; and 1t would no more help one
to identify an Englishman by saying
that he was cricket player than II
would to distinguish college man In
this country to say that he was de-
voted to baseball. In his book on the
game, Kings of Cricket" Richard
Daft relates many amusing things Of
the sport and of men who have been
connected with 1t. One Of his stories
Is about two Nottingham players of .
common family name with similar ini.
tials.
We had two players of the name OF
Johnson. one being John Johnson. for
years the secretary of our county
team, and the other Isaac Johnson.
As John Johnson's initial was near
ly always written as an 81" confusion
arose concerning the individuality OF
the two players.
Charles Thornton, a wellknown sup
porter Of cricket In Motifs, once got
into conversation with a stranger In
a railway carriage. Cricket cropping

stranger happened to say he knew .
Mr.. Johnson. who belonged to Notting.

WILL PRESS MERGER SUIT.
Pacific Roads Must Face Trial b,
Next April.


Washington, Jan. I.-The president
has determined to press to conclusion
the pending suit against the Union and
Southern Pacific Railroad companies,
looking to dissolution of the merger,
and today concluded to deny the appli-
cation of Mr.. Lovett, Harriman's sue
cessor, for dismissal of the suit.
Soon after Judge Lovett and num-
Ger of influential railroad people ap-
pealed to the president to squash pro-
ceedings before Judge Vandeventer' 8
court in Salt Lake City, Mr.. Taft,
following the course that had BEEN
adopted in the case of the famous New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
company, when similar appeal was
made, referred the matter to the at
torney general for examination. In
the New England case, it was found
that, because of action taken by the
state of Massachusetts, and the insig-
nificance of the governments interests,
it would be best to abandon the prose
cution of the railroad, and this was
done.
But Attorney General Wickersham
reached a different conclusion in the
Pacific railroad merger case, and today
he handed to President Taft volumin-
GUS report, conclusions of which justi-
fed the president in the announcement
that there was good case against the
railroads, following the decision in the
Northern Securities litigation. There
fore, proceedings at Salt Lake City
will be pressed.
The status of the case at present is
this: The government has put in its
testimony. The defense must begin in
April and the usual evidence in rebut-
tai must be submitted thereafter.
Then the case will 60 to that novel tri-
bunal Of four judges provided by the
anti i-trust act, known as the expediting
court, and doubtless in the end it will
come before the Supreme court of the
United States.

Chicago, Jan. 3l.-High prices for

work. In the last three months !, 900
more permits have been asked of the
state factory inspectors office than in
the corresponding three months year
ago. This is an increase Of more than
SS per cent. It Is attributed not to
any sudden demand of employees for the
services Of minors, but to the necessi-
ties of.workingmen's families, which

days. Prominent men from all over
the territory affected have signified

As planned, the new state will en-
brace seven California counties and
five Oregon counties. The movement
grew out of widespread dissatisfaction
with the treatment, alleged to have
been accorded the territory by the two
states. California, 1t is said by those
advocating the formation Of the new
state. has long neglected its northern

HAPPENINGS FROM AROUND oregon
DAIRY EXHIBIT AT STOCK SHOW

Opportunity Given Model Dairymen
to Show Farms IN Miniature.
A unique exhibition of proper dairy
methods is being arranged by the state
board of health in connection with the
Oregon livestock show at the fair
grounds next fall. One of the leading
promoters of the plan is E. L. Thomp
son, whose model dairy at Glover Hill
farm, near Deer island, has won atten-
tion throughout the Northwest. Mr..
Thompson said:
"The fair next fall will give US the
biggest educational opportunity we
have ever had. We want to show cat
tie that are best adapted for dairy pur
poses by reason of breeding, care and
the tuberculin test. We will have a
model dairy in all its parts ready for
operation. This will, of course, be in
miniature, but effective, nevertheless.
We will show how feed should be
raised and how it should be mixed for
the health of cows, the largest produc-
tion of the best possible milk.
Correct barn construction, the way
the stalls should be arranged, sufficient
ventilation, adequate gutter. drainage,
the proximity of feed, milk rooms and
manure heaps, will be gone into thor
oughly. We will also show how milk
ers should be dressed. and how they
should be clean in person and in hab-
its, to prevent contamination, and
keep dirt from getting into the milk,
will all be practically illustrated.

Those who have become prematurely wrinkled whether from trouble, worry or i'll health, know full well the priceless treasure they have lost. There is no need. however, of anyone injuring their chances of social or financial success in life by carrying around these marks of time. as they can be easily removed by a simple home treatment that often produces surprising results in a single night.
