Nebraska Wants Bender.

Johnny Bender for football coach
at Nebraska is the move which is
taking great impetus at the Lincoln
institution Bender is being boosted
by the student athletic council, but
the faculty members are taking
heavy knocks at the ex-W. s. G..
coach on the ground that he verges
too much along the lines of profess
ionalism.
Dean c. r. Richards, president of
the board. is strong against Bender
and claims that every effort has been
. made at Nebraska to stihe profess
ionalism, and, therefore. nothing
should be done to increase the chan
ces of giving it another foothold.
Captain-elect Shonka of the Corn
huskers is boosting hard for the for
mer State College football
coach. He figures he can bring
enough influence to bear on the fac
ulty to get Bender on the job for
next year.
DR.. r. G. Clapp, secretary of the
board, is fighting the appointment
of Bender. claiming the former stu
dent took money while he was a
member of the Nebraska team and
has followed this policy since he left
the institution and for that reason
would not be the man to lead the
nebraska bunch.
Manager e. o. Eager of the Lin
coin team is also fighting the student
body to keep the appointment from
going through The students. how
ever, believe they will be able to Sc
cure the appointment before the
opening of next season.

State Makes Healthy Growth.

"The public has been SO interested
of late in the census returns of popu-
latOn that it has ignored all other
statistics concerning the growth of
our state, though the latter are really
the more significant, said j. e.
Frost, chairman of the state board
of tax commissioners, at Spokane.
while the population of the state
has doubled in 10 years the assessed
valuation of property within its linz
its has trebled.
The assessed value of all tangible
property in the state five years ago
was $22S,O00,000, whereas, this
year it is 1907 100000. Some part
of the increase shown is due to a
better assessment, but the bulk of it
growth of wealth.
During the same five years more
than 100000 acres of land in the
state have become subject to taxa
ton through patents being issued for
it. At the same time. the area of
improved and cultivated land in the
state has increased from 100000
acres to more than 100000. This
means tht no less than 100000
acres have been put under the pillow
in the last five years,
AS a side light on the way this
has affected the states agricultural
industry, it is to be noted that there
are 10000 less cattle and $4,000
less sheep now in the state than
there were five years ago There has
been tremendous increase in the
number of milk cattle, 60 per cent of
all the cattle in the state now being
mich COWS.
Great Increase in State Revenues
Another evidence of the growth
and development of the state is the
fact that five years ago its indirect
reFenues-that is to say, the receipts
Of the various state offices, were only
SS05,0 Last year receipts from
the same sources totaled $8.1OO.-
900.
Ten years ago this was a borrow
ing state. City and farm property
was largely mortgaged, and the
mortgages were almost exclusively
held by non-residents. Today mort
cages both on city and farm prom
erty are almost entirely owned bv
our citizens. This change is due to
| the fact that the balance of trade in
favor OF the state is enormous and
constantly growing We are raDidIv
becoming a great financial center.
Recently our fire insurance business
was divorced from the San Francisco
board of fire underwriters and now is
under local control Life insurance
also has made a good start in our
state

was in its infancy This year it pro-

NEW OFFICIALS
IN THE HARNESS
Newly Elected Officers for Whitman
County Took Up Duties at Col
fax Last Monday.

Whitmans county's newly elected
officers took office last Monday at
noon. On that day the new board
of county commissioners met for the
first time and no sooner had they set
tied down in the harness than COM
mittee from the Farmers Union APP
peared before them with reso-
luton asking that the county be re-
duced from the seventh to the eighth
class. The commissioners set Mon
day, January 16. as the date for the
hearing on the matter and it is ex-
pected that at that time they will
take some definite action. AT the
last meeting of the old board of
counts commissioners the matter was
brought up and the commissioners
by vote of two to one refused 10
lower the class of the county. Sam
uel Ellis, the holdover commissioner,
voted to retain the county in its
present class, while Commissioner
Ruply, whose term has since ex
pired, was in favor of the reduction.
Commissioner Mccoy, who has since
been succeeded by A. p. Miller,
voted against the reduction.
Miller and Whitlow, the new mem
bers of the board, have not express
ed an opinion on the matter, but it
is known that Commissioner Ellis,
who was made chairman of the board
at Mondays meeting. is still in favor
of retaining the county in its pres
ent class. In all probability the
meeting of January 16 will be an
interesting one and many members
of the State Grange and the Farm
res Union will be on hand to press
their demands, With Commissioner
Ellis voting against lowering the
measure. it will take the votes of
both the new members to lower the
class of the county.
Following is the list of the officers
of Whitman county for the coming
year with their deputies and office
help:
County Commissioners Samuel
Ellis, chairman; NJ w Whitow and

Spokane will be worth this year in
the neighborhood of $23,000,0OO at
least. This, of course, does not take
into account the production of that
part of Idaho which also is a tribu-
tary to Spokane.
Mine Wealth.
"An important factor in adding to
the wealth of the state has been the
production both of its own mines and
those of Alaska. Since the govern
ment assay Office was established in
Seattle - years ago, it has received
more than 200,0OO,O00 in gold, a
great part of which has remained in
the state and every dollar of which is
a clean addition to the wealth of the

Richey STAYS Twenty Rounds.

Los Angeles, Dec. 1.-Willie Rich
ey. from the training encourage of
Packey Mcfarland. achieved an. in
ternational fistic reputation yester-
day by staying 20 rounds with Fred
die Welsh. the Br tish lightweight
challenger who was to have gone on
with Ad Wolgast in Thanksgiving
championship battle at Vernon Rich
ey, on "a hours notice, substituted for
wolgast. who was bereft of his verm-
form appendix Wednesday at hos
pital. Welsh was given the decision
but Richey had him groggy on two
or three occasions and after the mill
the one topic of conversations among
the fans centered on the question,
How long would Welsh have lasted
against Wolgast if the latter had been
in the ring"
After an all night train ride from
San Farncisco Richey entered the ar
ena somewhat heavy. Welsh appear
ed trained to the minute. The Briton
excelled in ring generalship and did
most of the leading. but his blows
lacked steam, while Richey's when
they landed generally stopped him.

Packy Nearly Gets Mhinped.

San Francisco, Dec l.-Packey Nc
Farland, the idol of the Chicago stock
yards. won and almost lost yesterday
when he was awarded the decision
over Harlem Tommy Murphy at the
end of twenty rounds of fighting be-
fore 5000 critical spectators.
McFarland'S victory over the
tough New Yorker whom 30 per cent
knock out, was clean and left little
room for argument.
But the rank and file of the experts
and fight fans seemed unanimous in
their view that as an opponent of the
Champion Ad Wolgast, the Chicagoan
was an impossibility Hence his vic
tory over Murphy left a tinge of dis
appointment among fight followers
which they were not backward in eX-
pressing. Mcfarland and his hand
lerS claimed that he had broken his
right hand in the 18th round, and
cursory examination at the close of
the battle showed that member to be
badly puffed and swollen; but of this
the public was not aware until after
they had filed out of the arena.
Mcfarland, if he really broke his
hand, gave an exhibition of game
ness and ability to come back rarely
seen in a prize ring.
Both fighters showed the marks of
the conflict but they were of a su-
perfic'al nature.
Summing up the battle. Mcfarland
outpointed his adversary to such an
extent that the latter's gameness and
ability to absorb punishment did little
to make it a two man affair. But
the knockout punch was lacking and
the reputed powerful Mcfarland
right cross" proved negligible
quantity.

An analysis of the new registration
shows some startling and encouraging
figures In the Hartman precincts there
is vast increase over the Alexander
precincts. Out of the mass of duplica'
tions in the registration the totals will
settle down to about 100000 in the
city.
There will be about 10000 votes
cast at the election. Harriman's follow
ers claim at least 10000 votes.
It is known that a conspiracy is on
foot to throw out thousands of socialist
registrations. 1t is openly stated that
ALEXANDER MUST WIN. This is be-
ing re-echoed by the operatives, thugs
and pickhandle men who are in the city
acting as guards in the Southern Pacific

circulars, some of them of scurrilous
character, all aimed at the socialists.
The bill boards are being used and one
flaring placard reads: 'Don't vote your

This a weak defense for accusations
that the goo-goes are planning a $75,-

Another placard shows the Stars and
Stripes and the red flag with the ques-
tion, "Under which flag? Answer De-
cember s."
Socialists have issued most effective
reply in the shape of three-flag placard,
adding the black flag of capitalistic pir-

Everett, Wash, Nov. "a, 1911.
NJ. E. Hay, Governor, Olympia, Wash.
Dear Sir-The Everett Trades coun-
ell, representing twenty seven unions
with total membership of 1000, is
strongly in favor of special session OF
the legislature this winter for the pur-
pose of passing direct presidential
primary law. We believe that the peo-
pie should vote direct for their choice
for president and that delegates to ma
tional conventions as at present chosen
are not the choice of the voters of their
respective parties. Delegates to ma
tional conventions ought by all means be
elected directly by the people and the
voters at the same time given a chance
to express their choice for president. 1t
is in our opinion as much our right to
express our choice by direct vote for
president as it is for United States sena-
tor.
Next year will witness a national elec-
ton and we believe we voice the senti-
ment of large majority of the voters
of this state when we say that we dc
not want to wait four years for an OPP
porunity to use the direct primary in
the matter of choice as above stated.
We favor a special session to enact
the desired law and also favor confining
the activities of the session to the speci-
fled legislation.
