Architecture.

Courses in architecture and archi-
tectural engineering are to be .ini-

ia in September. The freshman
class will be carried this year, next
year freshman and sophomore class
es will be under way, and an addi-
tional class added each year up to
the fifth or post senior year.
The university is singularly stu
ated for architectural study. The
twin cities have continually under
construction buildings of architec-
turaI excellence, and many noble
edifces mark the development of
the past quarter of century. Then
the University itself is constructing
FIVE beautiful new buildings under
the designs Of the foremost archi-
tects of the country, and its devel-
opment promises continuous con-
struction for some years to come.

out of reach; and even more fire.
quently because the only available
bank has been an institution to
which, with or without cause, he
has been unwilling to confide his
funds. Therefore, he has too often
preferred to be his own banker"
with the inevitable consequence of
frequent losses by theft, fire and
accident; which in the aggregate
have footed up to an annual sum far
greater than the total of those by
bank failures in the United States.
Add to such losses the loss of inter-

which our farmers have been an

bank system in which they could
absolutely confde, is something ap-
palling.
Such system, however, will now
soon be in operation; and, low as is
the interest rate Of two per cent,
it will, added to the sense Of secur-

the most incorrigible hoarders in

of the best fishing and big-game
hunting in the United States, the
national forests, made more and
more accessible each year through
protection and development by the
government, are fast becoming
great national Fairgrounds for the
people.
The use Of the forests for recrea
ton is as yet in its beginning, but is
growing steadily and rapidly-in
some Of the forests at the rate Of a
hundred per cent per annum. The
day seems not far distant when a
million persons will annually visit
them.
The records show that the season.
al use of the forests runs from two
months in Colorado forest, such as
the Routt, to twelve months in an
Alaskan, such as the Tongass. But
the uses differ. In Colorado the
1000 visitors entered the forest to-
fish, to camp, to climb and to drink
the medicinal waters; in Alaska the
1000 almost solely to hunt and fish.
The Fl, 900 persons who went into
the Coconino forest, Arizona, during
nine months, went to camp or to en-
JOY the scenery. During four
months $4,000 persons visited the
Angeles, California. The most pop
ular Of the forests is the Pike, con-
tanning the famous peak of that
name. The various attractions
within its limits, including the seem
ic railway, drew 100000 tourists
and others. By principal states the
national forest visitors numbered
23, 900 in Arizona, 100000 in Cali
fornia, 14O, 900 in Colorado, 19,00Oin
Montana, 10000 in New Mexico.
SO, 900 in Oregon, $4,000 in Idaho.
Il
16, 900 in Utah, and $4,000 in Wash
ington.
Of the natural wonders and land
marks of interest in the national
forests several have been set apart
as national monuments, among
them Cinder Cone, a great lava
basin in California; the ella Cliff
Dwellings, extensive remains Of a
historic race in New Mexico; the
unsurpassed Grand Canyon Of the
Colorado, in Arizona; Jewel Cave.
South Dakota; Lassen Peak, the ter
minus Of a long line Of extinct vol
canoes in the Cascades; the Pin
nacles. a collection of remarkable
jagged peaks in California; and the
Tonic, group Of prehistoric ruins
in the Tonic forest in Arizona. The

BATTLER STARTED
ONCE TOO OFTEN
By EDDIE SMITH

The BattIcr missed an old Sec
end like Willis Britt. In the
twcnty-second round he had VOL
CAST at his mercy. He either is
not like the old BattIer or else
he wns not properly advised. He
had the next three rounds to win
the fight, but instead of display
ing his old time stamina. which
made him a wonderful fighter. he
could not come back. Nelson
might have been able to go to
the finish,l but what was the use.
I did not want to take any
chances. as there might have
been tragedy in the fight had
gone farther. WoIgast Is a good,
tough fellow. He was not tired
at the finish and put up good,
beady battle. Nelson got the
worst of the buttiug, AZ he was
the taller man. Wait until VOL
gast is fighting IS years and see
how long he holds his champion
ship. 1t is the same old story.
Nelson started once too often.

indomitable work-Nelson bleeding and

that was left in him when Referee Ed
die Smith stepped in, brought the bat
tie to an official close and awarded the
palm of victory to Wolgast.
There have been fights and fights in
California but never another one like
this No two men ever stood toe to toe
with each other and gave and took as
| Wolgast and Nelson did. At first the
great crowd marveled and cheered itself
hoarse, but as the rounds were reeled
off and the butehery became more ap-
parent the finer instincts of those at
the ringside were reused and they
prayed for a fast finish. But the butch
cry continued and the battle waged
with all its fury till the referee hui
namely waved his hand.
TEARS FOR DEFEAT
Even the Wolgast hackers had tears
in their eyes as they looked over their
shoulders and took q last glimpse of
Nelson before leaving the ringside. If
ever fighter presented pitiful ap-
pearance Nelson was the man..
Two hours before he was the cham
pion of the world. and considered in
vincible by the majority of the fol-
lowers of the prize ring.
Nelson was far from being the same
battler who in his day has beaten them
Fall Instead he was but a mere she'll
of the fighter as he was in his prime.
Before the fight had progressed 20
rounds the spectators who knew him
could see this. The Battler had moth
ing left save his lighting heart. and
this will remain with him till his last
day on earth.
But what good is a mans gameness
if he has nothing else to back il up?
This is the story of Nelson's downfall
| in a nutshell He started once too
often. He thought he was the same
old tearing fighter, but, like Jim Cor
bett and Bob Fitzsimmons. he was
forced TO admit that the something
which made him champion was lack
| ing in his makeup yesterday.
FACE BEATEN TO PULP
| Bruised and beaten, his face repul-
sive to the eye, but still imbued with
the lighting sense, Nelson came up in
the fortieth round weak and giddy.
Wolgast, fresh and full of confidence.
met his man in the center of the ring
and began to pound him with rights
and lefts to the head. Nelson's eyes
were closed and his teeth chartered. He
swung madly but vainly. and his mer-
CHESS opponent kept stepping in on
him and crowding him fast.
Suddenly the Dane reeled over to-
ward the ropes and a fresh squirt of
blood issued from his lacerated mouth
Wolgast was crowding him fast, and
the crowd was urging the former on
when Referee Smith stepped between
the men, stopped the fight and declared
Wolgast the winner.
