Idaho Will Be
Here Saturday

The eyes of the local baseball fans
are now turned toward the game
which is scheduled to be played on
Ankeny field next Saturday between
the team from the University of Idaho
and the Whitman college nine. This
is the first of the series of eight in
tercollegIate contests that will take
place in Walla Walla this season, and
is being awaited with keen interest
at the local institution, since both
teams have strong line-ups that will
make the game the most exciting that
has been played on Ankeny field for
several years. 1t is rumored that the
Muscovites have a stronger team this
year than they matched against the
Missionaries last year, condition
which, if true, will make the game
more interesting and closely contest
ed, for these two varsity teams put
up a rather even game last year, the
Whitman nine winning the series by
defeating Idaho in two out of the
three contests. Appleman, Idaho's
star pitcher will probably do the
twirling from the box. He puts the
ball straight over the plate with
speed and accuracy and is hard man
for a batter to stand up against. Bor-
leske, however, who is to pitch for
Whitman, has a strong arm and does
clever work in the box. Judging from
the pitching that he has done SO lar
this season, he will be in every way
the equal of the Idaho man and VIII
be able to shut good number of the
Muscovites out of the run to hrst
base Cleman is not to do any pltcn-
ing in Saturdays game. In case
second man is needed in the, box, Belt,
who is TO hold down third base, Will
change places with Borleske. He has
been playing fine ball so far IN the
practice games and shows cleverness
and strength in the pitchers DoA.
Johnson will be relied upon to MI the
backstop position. Captain ShuDert'
who has had charge of first base for
three seasons past, will be seen at
work at his old position. Dunbar Is
to fill the second slab position. Stutn'
the new man, will be stationed at
short. In the out-field Cox will play

BEN LOMOND, Cal, April So. J.
yesterday. He ran nine miles along the
country roads leading out of his train
ing camp, played hard baseball for two
hours and then worked in the handball
court until the perspiration rolled from
his body
The exercise of the day was so SIREN
uous that the fear was voiced by sew
eraI members of the camp that Jeffries
would be overturned when he steps
into the ring to face Jack Johnson
July f. The retired champion, who has
now come out of retirement and is
working with the enthusiasm and en-
energy of a young pugilist who has
a long road to travel to a championship
match, was cautioned several times
during the day not to take it too hard.
Jeffries was up and ready at o'clock
IN the morning. Accompanied by the
wrestler Farmer Burns, Bob Arm
strong and his two nephews, Jeffries
started out on a jog to the village OF
Boulder Creek, four and a half miles
from camp. When he reached the VIII
lage he turned around and logged right
back to camp His pace was easy and
his wind was good when the spin was
over.
After rest of a few hours Jeffries
peeled down to his undershirt and
lead the way to the baseball field. For
nearly two hours he tossed the ball
and caught the grounders from the
bat of Sam Berger. Later handball
became the order of the exercise, with
Armstrong and Berger"~as opponents.
The effect of all this. coupled with
the mountain climb and the previous
two days training was evident in the
fighters condition. He has reduced
greatly in bulk and the change in the
much talked of waist line already is
perceptible.
The fear of Jeffries' trainers that he
will overwork and fall stale before the
fight is shown in the new camp pro-
gram which eliminates handhall. A
bit of early morning road work and a
four round boxing session with Arm
strong in the afternoon is the pro-
gram now laid down.
Berger will go to San Francisco to-
morrow to buy an automobile fol
Jeffries.. When the machine arrives
in camp Jeffries will use it to travel
to and from the ocean. where he ex-
poets to indulge in surf bathing.

KANSAS CITY, April S.-Yussiff
Nfahmout, the Turkish wrestler, de-
teated DR.. b. F. Roller of Seattle In
straight falls in their match here last
night. The first fall came in So: 80
with double wrist lock and a scis-
sors. The second fall took but two
minutes and 80 seconds and was OBJ
tanned with an arm lock and half
Nelson.
Roller never appeared to have a
chance to win. Mahmout forced the
contest from the beginning and OBJ
tanned dangerous holds with little diff
ticLlty.
The physician did not have the
Turk in trouble at any time.
Rollers poor showing might have
been due to his poor condition. At
ter the first fall, Jask Curley, Rollers
manager, insisted his man had injur-
"a his right shoulder, and proposed
the bout be stopped. Club officers
forced Roller to finish the match.
Before the contest started Curley
refused to permit Dave Porteus, the
official referee of the club to offciate.

Plenty of Matches ia Sight
For Beggar Sam Langford

LOS ANGELES, April Sam
Langford, who defeated Jim Flynn SO
signally at Los Angeles on st. Pat
rick's day, is not likely to find the
time hanging heavily on his hands.
Manager woouman is receiving tel
egrams from promoters all over the
country and it is very evident that
Langford is regarded as an excellent
card 1t almost seems as if Sam for
a while might do his own picking and
choosing in regard to his opponents
although of course, there is high class
pugilist:c company where Sam will
receive very little welcome.
| Langford has already signed to meet
two men within the next six weeks. He
will box Jimmy Barry 25 rounds at NC
Carey's Vernon arena, Los Angeles, on
April 9, and on April q he will meet
Stanley Ketchel in a six-round flutter
in Philadelphia The latter event, by the
way, bears about the same relation to
regulation prize fight as an oyster
cocktail does to an aldermanic BAN
auet, but that's another story and will
be dealt with at another time.
Woodman, for obvious reasons, is not
roasting middleweight champion Ketch-
ell at present He is pleased to think
that Ketchel is willing to meet Lang
ford in any kind Of a contest and he
argues that a short bout is better than
none at all.
Of the prospects OF a fight between
Jack Johnson and Langford, Woodman
is never done talking. He thinks the
pair will be seen in ring somewhere
about next Labor Day.
This is the way Woodman reasons
| the thing out: Jeff will surely whip
Johnson and then we expect Johnson
will be easy to approach on the sub
| ject of a match with Langford. Our

GREAT SUCCESS
COUNTY FAIR WELL ATTENDED IN SPITE
OF POOR YEAR-C00D RACES
GOOD EXHIBITS EACH DAY

The Williams County Fair held
in this city last Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday was a great success
and the officials were very we'll
pleased with the attendance, it
being even better than expected
for this year. The second day was
the largest as shown by the receipts.
The races were very good and at
tracted as much attention. as those
at the regular circuit held other
years. .s.
The exhibits were excellent and
especially commented upon by the
visitors, many of whom compared
them favorably with exhibits shown
at county fairs in counties where
they had held fairs for years.
Owing to the fact that the officials
haye not all the data prepared we

QUICK RESULTS
FROM EXHIBIT
NORTH DAKOTA EXHIBIT AT IOWA FAIR
IS AMONG FIRST TO MEET WITH
WORDS OF GOOD PRAISE
s'Results guaranteed"


That might we'll be the label
placed on the North Dakota ex-
hibit of grains and grasses which
is now working in Iowa and Wis
consin. First evidence of re-
suits" comes through the Des
Moines News, which contributes
the following interesting article
concerning the display of the state
at the fair being held in that city,
whats the matter with North
Dakota9 She's all right, to judge
by the interesting display at the
state fair. This exhibit which is
sent out by the commissioner of
agriculture and labor of North
Dakota, W.. c.. Gilbreath, is in
charge of r. F. Flint, dairy COM
missioner, and is attracting more
than usual attention from Iowa
farmers and others interested in
land or other investments, where
the future is as certain as in any
state in the west. Education in
North Dakota is keeping pace with
the rapid growth in other lines, the
now expended annually
beng in excess of $5,000,000 and
the value of public school property
being close to 100000 in 1909.
THE general opinion has been
that North Dakota was not a corn
state, but the yield of this cereal
has been increasing rapidly and
our reporter was amazed at the
showing made last year in grains
of all kinds. In 1909 there were
upwards of 10000 farms in North
Dakota; over 4, 900 miles of rail-
road; 365 newspapers; 9l3 post
offices; 421 rural delivery routes
and population of 900, ,462 In
dians not included.) The value of
dairy and creamery products for
1908 were over $4,OO0,OO0. To
anyone who contemplates a new
location where land is reasonable
in price, and where faculties for
business or farming are unsur-
passed, visit to the North Da-
kota exhibit will be we'll repaid"

Bismarck, N. D, Sept. 3-There
is q great deal of interest being
taken in irrigation projects in
Ward county this fall and the Of
fee of the state engineer is receiv-
ing daily letters from that part of
the state looking for information
along that line. There were two
projects in operation there this
year and the results have been so
good that interest has been
aroused. There are at present
about dozen projects under con-
sideration and State Engineer At
kinson will make a trip to Rem
vile, Burke and Ward counties in
the near future to consult with
those interested.
There was about 1000 acres un-
der irrigation this summer and in

were more satisfactory than had
even been dreamed of by those
who had put them in.

Peter M. Nelson, Fosston, Minn.,
Ed Peterson, residence unknown.
The injured-Dan Wardwell,
James Carey, Paul Crawford and
one transient laborer.
The men met death while asleep
and while slight rain was in pro-
gress. The four other occupants
of the tent who escaped with their
lives we're burned quite badly and
rendered unconscious, being re-
vived on the arrival of other men,
bers of the crew at the tent few
minutes later.
1t was on the farm of Dan Quin-
Ian that the affair happened, the
crew being engaged in threshing
there.
Murray Ellis was a we'll known
young man of LaMoure who re-
sided with his mother. Mr.. Os-
borne was prominent farmer re-
siding near Berlin, this county,
and leaves wife and family.
Peter M. Nelson, the Fosston
young man who met death, was q

was spending the season here for
the purpose of making money to
carry him through the coming
year. His parents we're notified
of his tragic death this morning.
T Ed Peterson, the other man
who was killed. is not known
here, being a transient. Efforts
are being made to ascertain where
his home was, but up to the pres
ent time these have been unsuc-
cessful.
OF the men who were injured,
Paul Osborns seemingly suffered
the most. He had very extern

Caught by Smooth Guy

A Polander, travelling west on
the Great Northern with load of
stock and household goods was
caught for a hundred dollars by a
smooth guy the first of the week.
The Polander was approached by
the smooth one and asked if he
could please change a hundred
dollar bill. The Pole, being an
unsuspecting foreigner said yes
and changed the bill. Later when
he presented the bill to get it
cashed he found that it was worth
less. The bill was an old con-
federate one for $100 and was in
excellent condition. A number of
people here made up a small purse
to help the unfortunate man along.

company of Devils Lake. They
have the agency for the Cadillac

tory eastern Montana and western
North Dakota as far east as Minot.
In addition to handling the
agency for the Cadillac these gen.

four to five years experience in
the automobile business and will
have first class workmen in charge
of the repair work.
They have with them seven

they drove through on their trip.
They expect to have one of the
new 1911 Cadillac's here within a
few days.
These people had Minot in sight
for the opening of their agency
but after travelling over the terri
tory and looking over both cities
they naturally decided to come to
Williston. The opening up of this
agency will bring considerable
business to the city that would

CORNER OF SAFE

Lakota, N. D., Sept. IAN in
teresting sidelight on the attempt
ed holdup of the Great Northern
depot at Lakota comes out in the
fact that Carl Wyatt, the operator
whose quick wit saved the com

unconscious when the would-be
burglars we're prowling about the
building afraid to enter it.
Wyatt, in getting clear of the
window outside of which the men
we're standing, went to the floor
in such manner as to strike his
head against the corner of big
safe, which laid him out complete-
ly. 1t was so dark that the men
on the outside could not see what
had happened and they cleared
from the place, afraid that Wyatt,
under the cover of darkness,
would have the drop on them
should they make an attempt to
enter. Wyatt, however, was
harmless and the men would have
had an easy time of it.
It also seems that in extinquish-
ing the lights that Wyatt took
big chance. Only a small oil
lamp was used and this was stand

working. When commanded to
open the door of the depot Wyatt

them why they wanted to come in,
