ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Efforts are being made to organize
a Pendleton Amateur Athletic club
and enough names have been secur-
ed to insure the success of the under
taking. The gymnasium in the rear
of the Commercial club rooms will be
secured and both a basket ball team
veloped.
The smaller eastern coneges were
enabled successfully to invade the
ranks of the so-called "big four" un-
der the new rules this season. Never
will Browns defeat of Yale by the
score of 21 to be forgotten.
Pennsylvania is the leading scorer
of the big Four" with 1913 points,
eight more than Harvard. Brown,
which make a great record after the
mid-season games, overtops Pennsyl-
vania in scoring and leads all New
England colleges with 1873

champions of America who won a
victory over him in 10-round bout
at the Fairmont Athletic club. The
| bout was a fast one and an even one
up to the last rounds. 1t was Walsh's
work on the last three rounds that
yielded him the honors.
Tom Shevln of the state of Mime
sofa, the coach who taught Yale the
plays that so mystified the Tigers,
was. after the game, surrounded by
crowd of Yale officials. He was

| gratulations which were being heaped
upon him. I'VE won, that is all there
is to it, Now, if you don't go away
and leave me alone I shall be forced
to say, L told you so.'"
The foxy club owner signs a good
manager for a long term of years and
gives him a chance to develop a win
ming team. A major league manager
who is hired from year to year and is
always afraid of losing his job is al
a great disadvantage.

BASIC PATENTS.

It may be a question wheth- CT the United States patent system does more good than harm. More patents are grant ed to the citizens of the United States by our government than are granted to all the subjects of all European pow CTS by their sovereign author ties. Much is said about basic or bedrock patents at this time, and 1t is probable that we will soon have an areoplane trust, just as we have a telephone and an auto mobile trust. There should be no such thing as a basic patent. Such a thing was granted to Alexander Graham Bell. The Patent office is more careful now, and will not grant such broad protec- tive claims as were granted to Bell, making 1t possible to es- tablish a telephone trust, that now, after the expiration of the patent, IS the basis of a more grinding monopoly than during the seventeen years for which the patent was granted. Look again at the Selden patent recently upheld by the courts. Gas engines were old twenty years ago. Wheels have been old for at least 5000 years. Recently a very perfect wheeled vehicle was taken from an Egyptian tomb that antedated the Chris tian era by at least 5000 years. Nevertheless, the Sel- den patent which has been sustained by the courts is lit tie more than putting gas engine on wheels.

The negro race is the darkest and most complicated problem that any people in the world has to meet, and Ii is peculiarly an Afro-Ameri- can problem, but there Is now ill this country a Boer who is planning to introduce zebras, girafes, elands, hippopotamii and other wild African beasts into the American forests, swamps, rivers and plains. Let us hope that he will leave out of his collection African lions and tsetze flies. By the way, Is 1t not time that some one should raise the tariff cry in order that honest American wild beasts may not be forced to compete with the pauper animals of Africa?

Slight Decrease

The Santa Fe railroads pay roll at Raton this month aggre- gates approximately S40,OOO, this amount being about 1000 less than that Of the month pre- vious. The shop payroll is in excess slightly of that of Janu- ary, but the train service roll has fallen off somewhat, due to the slight slump in freight traffic passing through this division point. Thi; is only temporary condition of effaIrs, however, and there are strong indications that the March pay roll, which will be paid on April 18th, next, will pass the $15, ,OOO mark.

Refuoe in Parliament.

In modern times when the British
parliament is dissolved it means that
the members must look to their bank
books for election expenses. Former
ly it spurred them to desperate shifts
to avoid bankruptcy and arrest for
debt, for with the dissolution of par
lament went the members priced
privilege of immunity from his cred
itors Down to 60 years ago no civil
action for the recovery of debt could
be directed against members of par
lament, so that seat in parliament
was the spendthrift's invulnerable de-
fense. Or, as Disraeli wrote, the only
way to keep some men "out of the
house of correction was to get them
into the house of commons"

Electricity on Farms.

The introduction of tungsten lamps
is doing much to advance the use of
electricity on farms. 1t is possible
for farmer with small plant, driv-
en- either by gasoline engine or by
damming a small stream, to obtain
sufficient current to light his house
and barn with this economical type of
incandescent lamp. The use of elec-
tricity on the farm, by the way, is
growing and, as pointed out by the
Electrical World, farmers will in time
come to consider electricity neces-
sity. Then it will be found profitable
to establish central generating sta
tions for farming districts to take the
place of the small individual plants
now being installed.

breads, although the wheat contains
slightly the more gluten. Black bread
keeps fresh''-that is, moist-much
