looks like California is the correct
prophesy for the Reuggers, who are
waiting 10000 strong for the pistol
shot that will plunge the Stanford
and California universities into the
twentieth annual struggle this at
ternoon. The California fifteen is
working like. perfectly well-oiled
machine. They are playing on the
town field; they are heavier than
the cardinal team: they are more
experienced and they are using
what appears to be a more effective
formation-the three two three
pack.
So confident is Coach Shaffer of
the ability of the blue and gold to
bring home the championship that
he has omitted from his kick off
lineup, the veteran inside five

ly injured in the California-Ne-
vada game last Saturday and rather

ing game are beginning to flock to
San Francisco.
Before long this element will be
congregated at the Emeryville race
track, because today the course will
be thrown open to the race follow
ers, and, as in years past, the public
will be bled for all it will stand, and
perhaps just trifle more.
Tom Williams, owIfer of the
course and car of the remnants of
the game in California, has an
nounced that there will be 80 day
meeting, but it will undoubtedly be
extended to 100 days and possibly
more if the public still has any
money left at the end of that time.
And there will be gambling.
The oral betting system will be in
vogue. Despite the fact that the
California legislature of 1908 passed
an anti-gambling bill which was in
tended to end race track gambling
in the state, there will be almost as
much betting as in the old days of
the block when odds were posted
openly and bets recorded in plain
view of all.
The only difference in tAe oral
system is that the bookmaker has
no stand; he must lean against a
convenient post, and he gives no re-
ceipt in the form of ticket to the
man who lays his money with him.
Mr.. Citizen wants to make bet.
He walks up to the layer of odds
and tells him the name of the horse
and how much he wants to bet. Sew

the money and Mr.. Citizen has to
take his word for it that he will be
paid off if he wins.
And for the privilege of operating
at the race track the bookie will
pay the race track corporation a
daily fee of $40.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-On
November Is, the land office in the
bureau of Indian affairs will begin
selling at auction, or by asking for
sealed bids, 1,657,41S acres of UNI
allotted lands scattered through
Oklahoma belonging to the five
civilized tribes of Indians in that
state.
Some of the land to be sold is
rich agricultural land. Other par
GELS are wooded. Beneath others
are coal and minerals. Some is
chiefly valuable for grazing.
The law provides that the secre-
tary of the interior prescribe the
regulations under which Indian
lands are sold. Secretary Ballinger
has drawn up the regulations for
this sale. He devoted considerable
thought to the subject. Here are
the chief provisions:
A single bidder is not permitted
to buy more than 160 acfes of agri-
cultural, forest or mineral land.
Not more than $40 acres-one sec
tion-of the grazing land can be
sold to one person.
The terms are: One-quarter OF
the purchase price, cash; one-quar-
ter within six months; the balance
to be paid within Is months of time
of purchase. The government will
charge per cent interest on un-
paid balances.
The rich agricultural lands of
Oklahoma, in cultivation, are worth
from $40 to SIS per acre. The
general land office gets an average
of $50 to $40 an acre for public
lands of Oklahoma sold at auction
Thus, a settler bidding at the
coming sale, and securing a 100
acre tract of farming land for an
average of $50 per acre, getting the
unimprOved farm for $500, must
70 prepared to pay s1400 down,
S1400 in six months, and $4,000 a
year from that time. Besides, he
must pay 6 per cent interest in the
k140O and $4,000 payments, 1924 in
all.
In addition, of course, if he ex-
poets to start farming Immediately,
he must have money enough to pay
p for the breaking of the land, and
construction of fences and build
lngs. Besides, he must live. for the

the two men had up for considera-

Donovan tried to get Doyle to take

of Donovan, and that Doyle had

In his own defense, Donovan took
the stand and confirmed Doyle on
the fact that the detective and the

Any discriminating connection with
any of the cases, however, was
