In parts of Abyssinia and Yemen

(Catha edulisl. the effects Of which are
similar to those Of the Peruvian coca.
The freshly cut leaves have a rather
pleasant taste and produce kind Of
intoxication OF long duration. with
none of the disagreeable features Of
ordinary inebriety. Messengers and
soldiers are enabled by chewing the
leaves to go without food for a num-
Der Of days. Among those who abuse
the habit the body tends to dry, the
visage becomes emaciated. and nerv-
Gus trouble follows. the most usu6i
being a trembling Of the limbs, but
these cases are rare. At times a too
copious absorption Of kat produces a
state Of drunkenness, particularly
when the large leaves are employed

{ Continued from first page. }

unuST uitC1, one Oh the DeSC anu
most profitable irrigated bodies
found in the northwest. She
has the soil. altitude climate and
drainage, which in itself might
insure success if located in a
more remote locality, but that is
not all. Her geographical posi-
ton is such that she enjoys the
finest transportation facilities.
Lying on the south bank of the
Columbia river, which is touched
by the main line of the o. R. &
NJ, running many trains each
day. She is also within calling
distance of another railroad on
the north bank of the Columbia
which gives additional transpor-
tation facilities. What, then, is
her trouble? Old Gillian County
is sleeping, and the rest of the
west is moving on. Nature has
been kind to her. If the people
will only aid themselves they
will convert a good country in
to one that will be better. An
other trouble seems to be that
we want to trust to the Lord. If
He will make it rain enough we
enjoy fine crops and much pros
perity, and if not, much kicking
and poverty. But we believe
that instead of trusting to good
luck and the Lord entirely, we
should do as Napoleon did with
his generals the evening before
a great battle. They had assem-
bled around the powder, which
was resting under a threatening
sky, and were praying to the AL
mighty to keep the powder dry
until the battle of the next day
would be over, and after they
had finished the famous French
man stepped forward and placed
his hand on the shoulder of one
of his generals and said: you
have prayed to the Lord to keep
the powder dry, which is all
very well, but now say to you,
see that it does keep dry by COW
ering it up" So it is with a lot
, of the citizens of Gillian county.
They are scattered over a large
territory and trusting to luck,
but what they want to do is to
get together and create luck by
working together like a trained
battalion of soldiers and over
come the obstacles which stand
between them and success. 1t
cannot be done alone and single
handed, for we need more good
heads working together with a
determination to win, and win
we will if we stand together.
What we want and must have is
a Gillian County Booster Club,
composed of men who will not
finch an inch when pressure is
brought to bear to quit. Get the
control into the hands of a few
known and experienced boosters,
who will compose the club board

The election of Leopold Krentzlein as

Western High gives practical assurance
of the continuation of this branch Of sport
at the West End institution, at the
same time dispelling all rumors to the
contrary, so evident since the disorgan-
izatiOn Of the 1910 team some time ago.
Although the authorities have refused
to commit themselves, this is not taken
seriously, and hardly a doubt rests in the
minds of the followers of the school that
favorable act on will be taken at the
right time. The temporary abandonment
of the sport last fall. following continued
universally accepted as wise move.
Western had a host of promising mate

at this writing appears the logical candi-
date for scholastic honors in this branch
of sport.
