LAND RUSH TO SMITH
VALLEY BRINGS SORRW

Last Friday tue town took on a
lively appearance when party of
25 people arrived and were making
arrangements with automobile
owners to carry them to Smith
Valley where they intended to file
on government land. Four ma
chimes were secured and they
start for Smith Valley, 35 miles
away, intending to make their Sc
lections and return in time for sup
per. They did not return for sup
per and all but six returned with
out any land.
1t seem that two San Francisco
lapl promoters advertised to put
would-be homeseeker on the spot
where farms could be secured free.
For this generous information and
transportation to the land of milk
and honey, and return, for the
nominal fee of $4,000. Railroad
fare and ranch for $4,000 was
not to be laughed at and the offer
was grabbed by many.
Ladies dressed in the heighth of
fashion climbed into the autos
without even a duster to protect
their silks from the seventy-five
miles of dusty road. Some of the
men expressed surprise that peo-
pile from here were not rushing to
Smith Valley to grasp the golden
opportunity.
They were of different opinion
on their return and were free to
admit that they did not find things
exactly az represented. However,
they took their disappointment
goor naturedly and joshed each
other to the limit. They claim
that the promoters cleaned up
$50 per head on the transaction.
When the government withdrew
this land from the proposed recla-
nation scheme and threw it open
to settlement several months ago,
residents of that section fled on
the land that could be brought
under cultivation by irrigation at
nominal expense. True there
is much good land in that section
but it must have water either from
storage reservoirs or artesian wells
either of which is as expensive as
the scheme is practical. With the
necessary capital, and willingness
to undergo hardships that come to
him, who carves a ranch from the
wilderness of a sagebrush fiat,
will probably find just what they
are looking for in Smith Valley.
Some have connected this with
the colonization OF the Cohn
ranches in that Valley but they
have no connection whatever.
The eastern people that are hand
ling the Cohn ranches are ex.
pending large snms of money on
their property putting it in shape
for practical and successful colo
nization. When the eastern FAM
lies arrive next year they will find
splendid opportunities awaiting
them. No place in the west will
offer better opportunities than will
be found on Cohn ranch of 5000
acres.

TT seems that the coaching depart

loath to take the matter up, or at least
take the first step in the matter. At
both D. Z. and Boulder the students
are discussing the matter and there
is a slight chance that public -senti-

After a hard practice Of signals and
a half hour scrimmage last night the
Washburn football athletes who will
clash today are in fit condition. The
play today will go a long way to de-
termine the ultimate holders of posi-
lions and much interest is being felt
in football circles.
1t was thought last evening that
Cooper college could be brought to
play but the Catholics at st. Marys
beat them uD so bad they asked to be
excused. Coach Garfield Weede of the
Cooper aggregation formerly the
Washburn coach had the men in
charge. 1t is presumed he had about
all the men in school on the trip and
at that had but IA. That his coaching
did not make them win can not be
said to descredit Weede but after max
ing a championship at Washburn he
has a lot of nerve to go through this
town with his present squad.
Owing to the battered condition of
the Cooper team Manager NeisWanger
and Coach Stewart concluded it would
be better to play two selected teams
from the WashbUrn squad. This will
give enthusiasts a better line on the

the Topeka club will be placed under
new management next spring. Topeka
will be a paying baseball town with a
team that can furnish the average
quality of the pastime. Cooley made
money in Topeka UP to the middle of
the present season, and there is no
reason to believe that another man

Denver Republican: For the first
time in the 1910 season of Western
League baseball there was almost a
riot at Broadway park Thursday. Only
quick action by Manager Hendricks
averted the trouble. 1t happened in the
first inning and strangely enough Buck
Weaver-the staid and gentlemanly
Buck, who never has anything to say,
but who always saws wood-WaS the
man who began things. Schreber was
pitching and the second ball he twirled
went straight over the plate. Umpire
Mullen of all jumps, called it ball and
things started. Buck threw down his
mask and started for the twirler's box
and the Denver players came running
up behind him. Rabbit Lloyd hurled
his glove and Manager Jack, sitting
on the bench, went completely up IN
the air. Mullen signaled for him to
come to his assistance and the leader
started for the slab on the run, hop
ing that he might be able to rescue
at least one of his regulars to finish
out the game. The manager was wor-
ried to the breaking point and Wheh
Umpire Mullen started to reach for MS
hip pocket, the local man didn't see
that things were clearing up, anyhow
But his surprise at the action OF his
players and of Umpire Mullen was
nothing compared to the surprise that
came when the official, instead of pull
ilk. drew out a neat little package and
handed it to Jack with the compl-
ments and best wishes or his players.
1t was a beautiful gold-jeweled move
ment watch, gift from the players OF
1910, Denver, and the trouble with the
jumps was all a part of the presenta-
ton. The gift carries with it not only
the best wishes of the players to whom
Manager Jack has endeared himself by
his fine, clean methods OF handhng
in
large of Denver, who are all friends
of Jack Hendricks.
Omaha Bee: 1.-THE Kansas recruits
continue to play good ball for Omaha
-Riggert, Schoonover and Acock. 1t
appears that something good can come
out of Kansas, after all, even If To-
peka is in that state. The record OF
Cooley's team this year is one of the
worst any team ever made IN the
Western League. When the team ne
! had at the first of the season cannot
win enough games to make an inter
esting showing something is radically
wrong, besides the material OF the
team. Cooley complained that lack or
attendance at home compelled him 10
DISPOSE of the available players on his
payroll. But how comes it that these
players were good enough to attract
| other teams, more successful than
Topeka, and yet could not play good
enough to draw a crowd In the ran
sas capital? OF course, crowds are not
easily drawn there, no matter what the
ealliber of ball may be. A chautauqua
would do better than a ball game But
the experience ought to be sufficient to
| convince the circuit makers of this
| ieague that they can well afford to
omit Topeka next season. Oklahoma
City, Kansas City, Kan, or Fremont,
| Neb.. would do better. Colorado Springs
or Pueblo might even be an improve
| ment." True Topeka is broad-minded
| enough to harbor a good chautauqua.
It would pass into raptures over good
| ball team-but, incidentally, who ever
| heard of Fremont, Neb.

my little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. I had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then /
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and a half of suffering he grew
so bad that / had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
