years planted, unassisted, every seed

the new country and living IN terror
that at any time the Indians might
fall upon them and wipe out the lit

TO top the climax McInerney, the
Cheyehhe man who acted as referee
Is one OF those fellows who believes
in pla!ing exactly according To the

fair. Most officials overlook GER
tain ahoHnt of roughing as long as
there is no intention of injuriug a
player, as il makes the game more
spectacular, and as a result the local
boys have got in the habit of play
ing little careless of the rules. so
when the referee proved to be a
strict one the two boys were out of
luck and about every move they
made was called a foul, as much to
their surprise as to the audience. In
the frs half eleven fouls were called
on GreeIeg, seven Of which counted
owing TO the excellent throwing OF
Lamm. Tho first hall. was a constant
wrangle bHt was close enough to
keep W The hopes Of the crowd. The
half endel l6 to 13 in favor of the
visitors,
. WITH lHe opening of the second
half the Greeley team lost heart and
went " in the air and stayed there
till the finish. In this half practically
every point was made on exactly the
same play Lamm stayed beneath
his baskcJ and the ball always came
to him and In it went. 1t worked
with such regularity that it seemed
imposible for the Arrows to break
it up. Hall and McCreery were both
back n town and were put in near
the END Of the game but it made no
difference as Cheyenne paid no at
tention to rough playing and con-
tinued TO pile up the score. The
final count was AZ to %.
While McTnerney was the object
of whole lot of abuse as the result
of his rulings, the loss of the game
cannot be charged to him. All of his
decision that could be called unfair
were IN the first half. In the las
half Greeley had an even break or
decisions and this was the half II
which the game went to Cheyenne
In this half Greeley had six foul
called and made four of them, Will
Cheyenne had three called, all o
which were lost.
Lamrn. who Is the mainstay OF tn
Cheyenne team, is unquestionably
great player and perhaps the bes
ever seen in Greeley. He is bi

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting of Governor and Council
Thursday, July 10, at 10 A. M.

number of inquiries have been re
ceived recently by State Librarian
Prince regarding the origin of the
names of various Maine lakes and riv-
ers. The latest letter of inquiry was
received Tuesday afternoon and comes
from a writer in North Carolina. who
inquiries as to the origin of 1.-THE names
of Baker, Moosehead and Glazier lakes
and Carrabassett and Union rivers.
The only one in the lot that the
State librarian is able to reply to Is
the inquiry concerning Meosehead
lake. A number of Indian legends
exists in regard to the name of that
body of water, one being that 1T owes
its name to the general resemblance
of the two long arms of the lake to
the antlers of moose.
State Librarian Prince is considering
the advisability of the use of book
plate in books the property of the
library instead of the present system
of stamping them with rubber stamp.
He believes a book plate of modest
size bearing an engraving of the new
State House would look much better
than the present stamping upon the
blank leaves of the books.

AVIATION PROGRESS.
Not So Much Interest is Shown in
This Science Here as Abroad.

The launching of the largest diri-
gibe in the world in England has
called attention to the backward state
of our country in aeronautics. With
the small appropria tion for aeroplanes
granted short time ago by Congress.
the War Department is able to do
little toward a proper equipment of
heavier-than- air machines even, let
alone filling our needs as regards
lighter than-air craft. England Is
making a great effort to catch up to
France, Germany and Russia, espe-
cially in the dirigible balloon class.
In comparison 10 her new gigantic
dirigible we have only the small one
supplied by Captain Baldwin several
wears ago When our two or three
aeroplanes are compared with the
fifty to sixty machines of all types
owned by the French government. we
are scarcely worth mentioning. 1t is
interesting to note that while France
and England are experimenting SO
actively with aeroplanes and dirlgi-
bles, our government has just opened

LOATHSOME DISEASE CON.
QuERED.
Freezing the Diseased Tissue and
Building Up Healthy Flesh Cures
leprosy.

Hawaii has done more. perba ms
than any part of the world toward
conquering the dread disease of lep-
rosy" said Charles B. Hemenway,
special attorney of the Hawaiian Is
lands. who is in Washington on bust
ness before the Interior Department.
Mr.. Hemenway Is accompanied bv Da
Vid j. Cronkling, Territorial Treas
urer, and is a guest at the Willard.
1T was due to the experiments made
by Moses Clegg, a chemist serving in
the Philippines that successful cul-
lures have been made of bacilli of
leprosy." continued Mr.. Hemenway
1T had been found possible to segre-
gate the bacillus, but not until Mr.
Clegg undertook his investigations
was it possible to make cultures. Mr.
Clegg is now working in co-operat ton
with DR.. Curry, of the United States
marine hospital service, in an effort
to discover cure for leprosy, and it
is believed they have almost succeed
ed. Several cases of leprosy in the
detention hospital in Honolulu have
been pronounced cured. This sup
posed cure is not serum. but a meth
cd Of freezing the diseased tissues and
building up the healthy flesh.
THE dread that most persons have
of leprosy is somewhat amusing to
persons who live in Hawaii where the
disease is not looked upon with so
much horror. Doubtless the fear of
leprosy has been largely due to the
fact that the scientific world has here
tofore known little about the disease.
1T is not easily contracted, as is gem
orally believed A normally healthy
person stands little chance of catch
ing leprosy. There have been many
cases in Hawaii where lepers have
lived for years with other persons
without spreading the disease, Chill
dren of parents, both lepers, have been
born clean" Washington Post.
