The proposal to exempt improve
ments up to $2500 is so manlfestly
without any excuse that it is hard tc
understand how anyone ever had the
nerve to suggest it. Just think OF IT,
There are not thirty houses in Mos
COW. that when it comes to the matter
of getting at the actual value OF
house for taxation purposes, are
worth the required amount. 1t would
throw the burden of taxation on the
merchant with his stock Of goods, on
the business blocks on Main street,
and on the town lots, leaving nothing
on which to maintain schools, carry
on public improvements or to meet
the running expenses of a town. IL
would amount to confiscation, for
revenue must come from somewhere.
This proposition reads like it had or
iginated in the mind of an eighth
grade school boy. Lewiston VIII be
tied up for fifty years to come, ana
every town in the state will be com

has been recently revised. There was
a hot debate as to whether a second

INDOOR ATHLETIC MEET
Promising Men Developed for SophO-
more Freshman COntest-Gym Work
is Popular with Students.

An unusual amount of interest in
gymnasium athletics has been dis
played by the students of the uni
versity this year and indoor track
meets are very popular. The inter-
class basketball games held the at
tention of the students for a few
weeks but this attraction has recent
| ly given way to the indoor track
events.
The first meet was held in the gym
nasium December Is and was a mark
ed success. Coach Van der Veer was
well pleased with the showing made by
several of the contestants and thinks
he has prospects for several good men
to come up for track in the spring.
The interest shown by the spectators
at that time was enthusiastic and eve
rybody is looking forward to the next
meet which is to be held January 10,
between the freshmen and sophomore
classes. There is a keen rivalry be-
tween these two classes and the track
meet is looked upon as being the final
clash for athletic supremacy. Both
teams made fine showing in the last
meet and each is confident of victory. |
The freshmen athletes who have made
a good showing in the past and who |
will be counted on to carry off honors |
are McGregor, Gano, Rowell, Morgan, |
and Phillips. The sopho-
mores are relying upon the following |
men to uphold their reputation: Whit
ten, Scott, Downing, Regain, Warren,
Gribble and Thompson.
The events are as follows: Half mile
run, 5O-yard dash, high jump, shot put,
nile run, quarter mile and tug of
war
This will probably be the last in
loor meet this season.
Gymnasium Work.
The girls classes have been busy
ately preparing for an exhibition of
gym" work to be held January 25.
This exhibition is under the super
vision of Miss Void and will give an
dea of the work accomplished by
Ter classes during the past semester
Each year a prize cup is presented
O the girl and boy who registers the
highest physical score. There have
,een many contestants this year and
he scores have been unusually high.
This test ends February 2. Mr.. Van
Ter Veer is anxious that those who
ave not been tested yet should do SO
t once. The leaders in the contest
o far are Vivian Allen with a score of
385, and Buck" Phillips with a score
f 6760. Both of these scores are
onsidered remarkable, the average
ollege mans test being only 4125
ounds.
A new class in gymnasium has been {
rganized for the short course fores-
ers and most of them will take adj /
antage of this opportunity.

EMINENT ATTEMPTS TO IN
TRoDUcE WHAT HAVEMEYER
SAID BEFORE CONGRESSIONAL
COMMITTEE IN 1ss.
BY Associated Press.

New York, May 14.-Shall the voice
OF Henry o. Havemeyer, dead fve
years, be heard in the governments
dissolution suit against the so-called
sugar trust?
Counsel for the government and the
defense clashed over this question to-
day in the first session held to take
testimony in the suit. When the ses-
sion adjourned the question was still
undecided, and IT seemed likely that
the point would be taken over the
head of Special Examiner Brice, to the
federal district court for decision.
District Attorney Wise declared that
Mr.. Havemeyer's testimony was ma
terial to the suit, while the score of
lawyers representing the defendants
objected.
The testimony OF Mr.. Havemeyer
which Mr.. Wise sought to have writ
ten into the record. was given before
the congressional industrial commits
sion on June IA, 1899.
Mr.. Wise told the examiner that in
the testimony of Mr.. Havemeyer "the
ruling spirit of the su ar trust" testi :
fed that the ariff was he mother of
trusts" and that he was in business
for himself and not for his competi-
tors" The testimony, Mr.. Wise argued
presented in concise form the prac-
tees OF the so-called sugar trust in
eliminating competitors from the field
and building up a monopoly.

The senator said the chemical bill
would follow the metal bill and after
that would come the wool bill. He
thought the debate on these measures
would not be so extended as that on
the metal bill.
The general understanding Is that
the progressive Republicans will die

public peace was threatened. and
would limit to seven days the life of
each injunction. Injunctions could
only be renewed when cause was
