LION AND POLE IN GREAT BOUT.
ZbyszI&o Wins Decision From HacIzen-
schmidt in Handicap.

New York Feb. 10.-In 80 minutes OF
wrestling, George Hackenschmidt, the
Russian, failed to throw Stanis1aus

Garden last night and the match went.
to the Pole.
Hackenschmidt had undertaken to
throw Zbyszko twice within an hour
and a half
Hackenschmidt was the aggressor i'm
the early part of the bout and the fas-.
ter, cleaner workman of the two; but
Zbyszko's great weight began to tell
with every additional minute and at the
finish he seemed the stronger of the
two.
The weights were given on the pro-
gram as Hackenschmidt 210 and
Zbyszko go. In spite of his huge bulk,
Hackenschmidt twice heaved the Pole
over his shoulder and slammed him to
the mat with all his force. The shock
shook the Pole heavily but did not
lessen his strength.
For the most part Zbyszko chose a
chancery hold and HackenSchmidt
found trouble in working away from
it. At other times the Pole tried Frank
Gotch's favorite toe hold, but Haeken-
schmidt with his tremendous strength,
repeatedly broke it by driving his leg
back like a piston.
Whenever Hackenschmidt got a half
Nelson, Zbyszko broke it by Tipping
back sommersault. For perhaps
half the period they were on the mat.
Toward the close of the bout.
Zbyszko, who had been of the defen-
sive. took the aggressive and contin-
ued to show stronger to the end. His
work was rough and some times drew
the disapproval of the crowd. He but

seventh round of a 10-round bout be-

Harris had the better of the earlier

Officials Say Work VIII Be Completed
in Three Years.

in Three Years.
Denver, Col, Feb. love expect to
have the double tracking of the entire
main line of the Union Pacific finished
with three years. said A. L. Mohler,
vice president of that company.
Mr.. Mothers statement means that
the plans for double tracking the main
lines of the Hartman roads, at a cost
Of $4,000, 900. which were announced
last week by President Robert s.
Lovett, are to be rushed as far as the
Union Pacific is concerned. 1t will give
work to thousands of Colorado labor
ers.
''The main line from Omaha to Og-
den, a distance of 1000 miles. will be
double tracked" continued Mr.. Mohler.
Part of this work has already been
done When il is finished, and the
improvements on the Southern Pacific
are completed, it will. mean double
tracked route all the way across the
American continent. The Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific portion of
this route will be from Omaha to San
Francisco. The Chicago & Northwest
ern, which connects with the Union
Pacific at Omaha, has double tracks to
Chicago, and from that point east the
lines are already of that class of con-
Struction.''

been working for years. With the first
homeseekeIs' excursions into the hither-
to arid regions, came the SPECTATORS
who took up the most valuable sections
of that time. Then, when the interests
of farmers in other sections was arous-
ed, they found they were compelled to
pay tribute to Spectators Specula-
tors didn't help US any, and in fact
were not the class of pc we want
ed in the new sections.
Farmers Are Wanted.
FINALLY farmers in other states be-
came prosperous and had money to in
vest. They didn't think much of the
west, but were curious and wanted to
see the country. Many of them, find
ing thew could double thor acreage,
sold out and came west. These were
the real pioneers, the kind of citizens
we wanted. Since then the homeseek-
ers' movement has been unusually
heavy. Last year in round numbers
the Santa Fe hauled west over 1000
prospective hoE1eseekers, nearly one
third of which have moved into the
Golden West. They are satisfied. and
cultural possibilities of the west are
greater than any other section. We
would rather have one satisfied settler
than a hundred spectators. Those who
are living in the west and southwest
now are proving magnets for others
from the east and the middle west
zone factor that will help the west
in its development is the Panama ex-
position in San Francisco, which was
the only practical location for such an
enterprise. That will bring more peo-
pie west than any other one feature.
It will bring more of the middle classes,
and in that way they will see the coun-
try and dispel the desert idea gained
from the perusal of the school geo
graphieS of decade or two ago..

James l.. Hughes, LID, chief in
spector OF schools, Toronto, Canada,
says:
For thirty years the kindergarten
idea has been evolving in America.
During that time the teaching of Froe-
bel has wrought many changes. It
has changed educational aims from
mind-storing to character development
from the giving of mere culture to
enlargement of power; from receptiv.
ity on the part of children to reflect
i've and ultimately executive ability:
from imitation to creativity, from copy
ing to invention. 1t has changed the
ideals and practices to child discipline
from restriction to direction, from ne
CATION to POSITIVELY, from don'ting to
doing; from dogmatism to co.opera-
ton. 1t has shown the educational
value of play, in developing not only
the physical, but the intellectual and
moray powers"
II surely must be of importance to
parents to know little more about
the kindergarten system for which
these men stand, and about the author
of the system. 1t will be of interest,
therefore, to learn something of the
founder of the movement.
