Rl1CHIE TELLS
HOW TO GET BOYS
Z. NJ. C. A. WORKER POINTS OUT
GOOD INFORMATION TO THE
ASSOCIATION WORKERS

Frank II. r. Richie, of the interna-
tional committee Of the Young Men
Christian association, who is visiting
several of the associations OF Iowa
spent Wednesday and Thursday IN ~
tunnwa in the interests OF the boy lie
of the city. Wednesday noon ne met
with the board of directors OF the asso'
citation and presented some very slgnl'
Icant facts regarding the boy prob
lem. and made some definite sugges-
tons regarding better work for this
city. He pointed out that there are
8 900 900 boys in their teens IN the
United States and Canada. OF these,
$500, 900 are not in the Sunday school;
that ninety-five per cent OF the BOY
population never reaches the high
school: and that only two per cent
graduates from college, and that forty
Der cent of the national leaders come
from the colleges. He called attention
to the fact that there are about l,ouO
hoys in their teens in Ottumwa, and
stated that every one Of these 1,ooO
~noys had the right to be we'll born, TO-
. be we'll trained and should be given a
fair chance to develop normal lie:
He urged campaign for the STUDY
of the conditions affecting the boy life
of the city--the church, the Sunday
school, the public school. the library,
the public play ground, the parks, the
picture shows, the pool rooms and the
gangs of the city. He then urged that
a constructive policy be made for the
betterment OF the boy life. At the close
of his talk to the board he made the
following definite suggestions: First
that the boys work committee De en-
larged and be composed of men OF
city wide interests Second, that the
are limit be raised to twelve years
thus making our work with the Older
boys. Third, enlarge the boys depart.
ment and refurnish it in order that
the association might better meet the
needs of the boys of Ottumwa. Fourth
a city wide campaign with the pur'
pose of meeting every need or every
boy. ~. -.

Richie met representatives from the
chur ches and Sunday schools and dis
cussed with them a city wide program.
At the close of this meeting 1t was
recommended that the boys work

Forward Movement make'a survey OF
the conditions of the boys Of the city
Of Ottumwa, also that training class
for men and older boys be org Nlized.
Thursday noon he met with the boys
work committee of the association and
gave reasons why the things that he
had suggested should be done and
urged very strongly that they do them.
At 2:3O o'clock at the Young Won
ems Christian association he spoke to
a group of interested women on what
they might do for the boy life Of the
city. 70
At the mems bible classes he spoke

plug along more slowly and leave his ore on the
dump rather than give up large per cent for
milling and freighting.
If this showing of quartz prospects is much
above the average. why is it that the development
has been so SLOW? The answer is easy find.
There several very promising properties that
absolutely isolated in summer from shipping
facilities. because OF the inability unwilling
ness of the road commission to build roads Devel,
opment is hampered when it should be pushed to
the utmost, because OF the more favorable TEN
perature Developing surface prospects in winter
is picnic
Besides these local difficulties which include the
difficulty Of interesting local capital because OF
financial unrest the most serious impeachment lies
in the isolation of the camp from Outside influence
and capital You can hardly blame mining men
for refraining from investigating the district for
purposes investment when it would take them
practically the entire open season TO make the
round trip besides the unusual expense for travel
ling such distance.
Steps toward abolishing these difficulties are
being taken and il is surely the duty Of all
residents to help much possible if they have
any interests in the camp or any public spirit.
Remember this, if these prospects We're found in
California or Nevada stampede would result in
the influx of 10000 to 10000 people machinery
would be sent in by express to save few days
time, and inside of three months the 800 foot
levels Ct many properties would be in sight. There
are al least 80 excellent prospects here now that
would attract capital anywhere. it is surely to
the advantage of the community to remove OBJ
stacles i'll the way of development. 1t has been
asserted often that when We talk of the showing
here We are peddling. fabrcating. or doing other
reprehensble things. 1t is a that there has
been a remarkable absence of such misinfOrmation
in this camp aside from some of the newspaper
accounts. and in many cases properties have been
moderated. The operation of few small mills
this winter will prove this in few OF these cases.
1t is time to realize this fact that the local popu-
lation can reap some of the benefits of judcious
investment before the influx Of Outside capital
This great event is going to happen, although just
when, it is impossible to 1t is than com

u rigid comparison of characteristics and values
~ surely the advantage of judging the showing
being made in he camp lies with the assayer that
handles many samples monthly. and determines
their values. while their mode OF occurrence is
generally known together with the quantity OF

ton concerning the individual claims not be

present. in the way OF mineral showing ought
do some good in the face ot knocking skepu
cism and mwarranted assertions by incompetent
judges.
You are all familiar with the STOCK arguments
against the camp ever becoming famous for its
quartz The timehonored one with the
longest whiskers contends that because Dawson
hasn't shown much in the line OF quartz. there Is
no chance for this district. bright argument
surely when the two camps can not be compared
sooogically. and when there is plenty of time yet
To find quartz in Dawson. The next argument con
tends that the hills all worn away here. and
therefore the entire contents OF the Lodges con
tanned therein must have been already taken out
in the placers formed thereby. Where the authority
gained for the superior age of this district over
that Of other great mining districts is hard to
imagine. Geological study OF California shows that
the Sierra Nevadas are but the butt ends OF enor
nous mountain ranges that were once eroded down
to base level and the present range is merely the
uplitted plain with a new system OF waterways OF
mines in California with no prospect yet OF getting

Senator Purcell Proposes a
Resolution
HE DEMANDS THE REPORT
Of Congressional Committee = Repeats
Old Charges Against the Secretary.
Declares the Latter Not True
to the Trust Reposed.

Washington, Jan. l7.--Renewal Of the
attack on Richard a. Balinger, secrt-
tary Of the interior ii contemplated in
ia resolution introduced by Senator Pur
cell yesterday, which seeks to force out
into the open the report Of the joint
congressional committee against the cab
met officer by Clifford Pinchot, former
chief of the forest service The report
has been In the possession of both the
Senate and House for some time, but
no action has been taken on 1t, both
branches apparently being willing TO let
the matter remain as il is. The reso-
luton in part reads:
1t is the sense OF the Senate that
the findings and conclusions reported by
certain OF the members Of said commit
tee to the effect that Mr.. Richard A.
Ballinger, secretary Of the interior has
not been true to the trust reposed in
him as such secretary, that his admin
istration of that office has been marked
by lack Of fidelity to the public in
terests, that he is not deserving Of pub
lie confidence and should no longer be
retained in that office, are based upon
and in substantial conformity with the
evidence reported by the committee.
The majority report committee, signed
by all the Republican members with the
exception OF Representative Madison Of
Kansas, exonerated Mr. Ballinger of the
charges. while the Democratic members
in a minority report declared the charges
to have been sustained by the evidence
adduced Mr. Madison submitted an in.
diyidual report slightly differing from
the minority findings.
Senator Purcell is member of the
Ballinger Pinchot investigating commit
tee, and in response to an inquiry he
said that it was his purpose to press
the resolution to a vote if possible He
spoke on the question to-day.

eighteen inches above the batter.
"When ! came to Cincinnati, | found
Beecher, Mitchell and Mclean batting
only fairly, I examined the grounds
and saw they were batting up Hill
against the pitcher and that the twirler
always had an unfair advantage There
fore I sent for a surveyor and we got
the diamond perfectly level after which
not only Beeeher, Mitchell and Mclean
but other players as well, could hit
much better.
Il shall see that we use the canvas

need to have the pitchers box higher
