Roper Getting Busy.

W. y. Roper, Princeton's new athletic
director, Is losing no time in making his
presence known in Tigertown- Since the
the announcement has been made that
Princeton will have some serious spring
foot ball practice during the coming
April This is something the Tigers have
not had in several seasons, and in some
quarters this lack of preliminary work
is blamed for the teams poor showing.
1t may be that Roper has taken leaf
out Of fale's book of foot ball experience,
which. by the way, Is about the most
valuable work in existence
1t will be recalled that when Coy was
elected captain of the Yale eleven he
announced that he would hold not only
spring preliminary practice, but winter
practice for the linemen as well. There
may be difference Of opinion as to
whether or not this preliminary training
was responsible for the ma gnificent foot
ball machine Yale turned out but it
undoubtedly had its effect. At any rate,
Yale men were so well pleased with the
results of the system that it Will be
made fixture.
1t need not be surprising If this coming
spring all of the big universities of the
east devote more time to spring practice
than ever. Almost without exception fall
preliminary work, between September
and 10. has been discontinued not only
because 1t violates the spirit of fair play
but also because it works injury to the
final conditioning Of the players them
selves. The University of Pennsylvania
probably pays less attention to spring
work than any of her rivals, but the
Quakers may have learned lesson on
this point within the last few months,
for it is understood that they viii devote
more attention to it this year

Washington Grew May Come East.

the report that the University of

applied to the PoughkeepSie stewards
for permission to compete, and this is
them to take:

year-old Clark county young woman

gored to death by an Infatuated bull.
Miss Gloe went to the pasture to

attacked by the bull, a 2-year-old
animal. The girl carried a heavy
blacksnake whip, and when the bull
charged her, she struck him across
the nose with the whip and managed
to keep him at bay. When she at

keep him from killing her. Finally,
as she was nearly exhausted from the
long battle, with the brute a neigh
boring farmer drove by and hurried
to the rescue.

SUNDAY 4 BANNER DAY
FOR THE RAILROADS.
Shipping of Nebraska, Dakota and
Wyoming Cattle to the Market
Enormous.

Norfolk, Neb., News: Sunday,
September IL, 1910, will go down in
the history of the live stock industry
in northern Nebraska, southern
South Dakota and northwestern
Wyoming AZ one of the greatest of
all days in point Of shipping.
Fourteen trains of stock, between
400 and 500 an, passed through
Norfolk from the range country Sum
day, and more than 800 cars Mon
day. 1t was q strenuous forty-eight
hours in the Norfolk headquarters of
railroad.
Reason given by ranchmen coming
through here of the big run is that
Wyoming has had no rain, and is dry
as finder. There is no grass, and
cattle as well as sheep must all come
out. The grazing condition around
Cody is very good, says W. ID. Dun
bar. of that city who passed through
the city Sunday accompanied by S.
M. Claybough, Of Sioux City, with a
carload of cattle. MI. Dunbar's train
load of stock was the first train out
of the twenty-four. trains started
toward it's destination Sunday.
Among the stock were thirteen car
loads belonging to John Shannon, Of
Carroll. Many of the cattle in the
first %trainload came from Sheridan
and Cherry counties. Mr.. Dunbar,
who has a large number of prize cat
tie, will come through the city with
a trainload of this fine stock next
Saturday.
1.-THE sheep and cattle both must
all come out of Wyoming" said Mr..
Claybough. "The country is all dried
up and the ranchmen are getting
them out as fast as they can. There
will be shortage Of cattle next year.
The east has no cattle and the west
is trying to raise them under diff
cuities. The settlers coming to the
west have handicapped the cattle
raiser and the COWS have been going
out too fast. You can take for ex-
ample this enormous run of stock
going to the market and then reason
out why a shortage must come. The
big ranches and the pony ranges are
a thing of the past"
The number of head of cattle in
the 500 cars passing through the city
is not known, but counting them
half cattle and half sheep, there
would be, according to stock ex-
change figures, 10000 cattle and Co.
900 sheep.

THE DESIRE FOR OWNERSHIP.

Rapid City Journal: The coming
of the people to the west to take up
land is but the fulfilling Of the in
nate desire of the people to own their
own homes and to have a patch OF
ground"
Those who go through life pay
ing rent for farms or for houses lose
the incentive that goes to make life
interesting.
Just as soon as a young man be-
comes the owner of a farm, or a
house and lot in town, he becomes a
better citizen. He at once takes an
interest in the public welfare. He
wants to have his property secure
and to have it increase in value. If
he has a family he becomes inter-
ested in the public schools and also
wants the churches to win out so his
boys and girls will have the influ-
ence of the good teachings that
emanates from the churches. q
The property owner takes an In
terest in the upbuilding of his town,
and If he is a farmer he is interested
in the county business.
By all means encourage the young
men, and the older ones too, to in
vest in lands and houses. If 1t is
necessary to go into debt let the
strong young mar take up the bur-
lent and carry it through.
In Sheridan, Wyoming, a few
years age there was a young man
who was counted rather shiftless. He
got married to a good young woman
and they bought furniture on the in-
stallment plan. The young man was

He got a promotion on the Burling.

The house and lots were paid for By

HOW THE CARBONATE
WAS FIRST DISCOVERED
Dave Ellis and Some Others Who
We're Boys Then Wero En-
gagged in Grub-StAking

Back some thirty odd years ago,
a number of young men were grub
stalking In the Carbonate Camp.
Among the number was David Ellis,
now n of the highly respected cit
liens of this community, and the fell
lows had held . council of . They
were out of grub and about out of
enthusiasm, and were ready to anit.
MI. Ellis said to his comrades that
he would fire one more shot, and If
no results were apparent they would
quit. When the rock came down Mr..
Ellis picked up a nugget that looked
good to him, and that night, tired az
he was, he walked in to Deadwood,
eleven miles, to see what the results
would bring forth. An assayer told
him that the specimen would assay
many dollars to the ton. This is the
way the Carbonate Camp was discov-
cred. From then on the camp was q
good n Companies we're organized
and big strikes were being made of
a sensational character. Stock at one
time went up rs high as 50, and it
is said that people pawned their
watches to get money to buy stock
with, a. they expected it would be-
come a second Homestake, which it
is liable to become yet. One woman
took two of her cows and left them
with our present sheriff, Matt Plum
kett, as security for money with
which to buy stock-live stock as
security for mining stock-and the
country was wild. A good little vii
lage sprang up, and it afforded m
ployment to many men. All the mon
ey naturally flowed into Deadwood,
the same as it will again flow this
way if the camp is revived, and a
revival there seems among the near
possibilities.
