Financial Report Does Not
Look Good to the Regents
of the School

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 12.-Six-
teen Gopher football men were voted
MS at yesterdays meeting Of the
athletic board of control. the first
since the Christmas vacation. Those
voted emblems were: Aldworth. Wal
Under. Tobin, Frank, Capron. Hay
ward. Rosenwald. Stevens. McAlmon.
Johnson and Pickering.
The torn of indignation directed
against Wisconsin for her eleventh
hour protesting Of Captain Earle
Pickering last November, was echoed
IN a resolution passed by the board
but the resolution expressed very lit
tie venom toward the Badgers. While
not sanctioning a game with the Ehler
school. the board declared itself OPP
posed to anything in the nature Of q
boycott against Wisconsin. The meas
ure was carefully worded, but declar-
ed that no hard and fast line should
be drawn . Board members said after
the meeting that the resolution left
the scheduling Of a Badger game up
to the athletic management.
Financial Report Read.
The usual monthly report Of uni
versity athletic finances was read. The
annual report has not been made. but
1T Is believed a profit Of about $4,000
from football will be shown. Owing
to heavy drains from other depart
ments the net profits for the year in
all branches of athletics will not be
much more than $1,000. Two expen-
sive football trips, to Wisconsin and
Illinois, were also taken. The situa-
ton holds no terrors for the athletic
authorities. according to Professor
James Paige. faculty representative,
who said today:
Baseball and track. especially
track were responsible for larger ex-
penditures last year. Football ha.
usually more than made up for the
deficits caused by the spring sports.
The athletic report each year dates
from February /. and between that
date and June 1, last year, about $10.-
600 was spent on baseball and track.
The conference meet, held on North
pense. The football year was not
quite as good as the average, but we
are not worrying"

cially into this tale, was a vestryman
of the church in his home in the
suburbs Of Philadelphia. His piety
had been put to a severe strain in the
mountains.
That day everybody had to work on
the trail-everybody wanted to for
that matter. The hardest labor con-
sisted in the driving Of the hurros.
Unfortunately there was no good and
trained leader among them through
an unavoidable mistake, and the camp
ers had great difficulty in keeping the
burros on the trail. To Arthur Brad

enjoys the experience. Whoever the
ingenious native was who first sug-
gested this mode Of crossing a river
he probably came from the jungles o.
Assam and had seen monkeys crossing
the river there by of growing
creepers-there is no doubt that he
found the one method which Is ap-
plicable to the big rivers, exaggerated
mountain torrents, of eastern Tibet
and far western China. The obvious
way for natives to cross a river Is by
canoe, but, unfortunately, neither the
Salween nor the Mekong, big as they
are, are n~avigable eve for canoes IN
Tibet. The single-way rope bridge
overcomes every difficulty. Two small
platforms are made, n on either side
of the river, one high up, the other ~
or 80 feet lower down; stout posts are
| driven into the rock and the bamboo
rope is slung across from post to post,
and frightened so that 1t slopes steeply
| from one bank to the other. the
slider consists OF a half-cyltnder OF
wood, about three inches In diameter,
having two slots cut in its upper sur
face, one at either end, through which
pass the leather thongs; to these
thongs the man, baggage or animal Is
tied, so that he hangs just beneath the
rope, and, being pushed off the plat
form, the slider carries him safely
over the river. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that two ropes are necessary at
each crossing, one for going each way.
The advantages Of such a system are
obvious. The rope Is cheap to make
and the materials are ready to hand;
1t is quickly put in place and. though
It will not stand the wea and tear OF
constant use for very long, 1t can be
replaced in a few hours. 1t can be
suspended so high above the river that
it is completely out of reach of sum-
mer foods, but very often 1t Is only a
few feet above the water at its lowest
point, and such ropes are under water
and impossible during the summer.
On the other hand, l have seen ropes
as much as a hundred feet above the
river; they look rather alarming, but
as a matter of fact, it would make no
difference whether one fell n hun
dred feet or five feet into such a
river as the Mekong in Tibet. After a
few weeks use the rope begins to sag
at the lower end and may require
tightening up, especially II animals are
heinp slunp across; a man can pull
himself up the last few feet, hand over
hand, or haul up a box which has got
stuck, but an animal is helpless unless
he lands right on the opposite bank.
Hundreds of these ~single-way rope
bridges are in use on the Mekong and
Salween rivers alone, and they occur
a long way east Of this on the La-lung
and LA-tang rivers, and many others.
But l have never seen one on the
i, Yangtze, which is too big a rtver.-F'

IT'S EASY TO CREATE STORM
Sir J. j. Thompson Tells us How to
Do 4, and II 10 Stimulating to
the Crops.

London,-Sir ]. J.. Thompson sug-
gests that artificial thunder storms
be created to electrify crops and slim
ulate their growth. This can be done.
ne says, by separating the positive
charges of the atmosphere from the
negative.
He has found that water condenses
more readily on the negative portions
of the air than on the positive, and he
is therefore of the opinion that the
work done in a thunder storm Is done
by gravity in drawing down the neg
atively electrified raindrops against
the attraction Of the positive. He
thinks that rain in certain regions Is
the main factor Of supplying the neces-
sary negative electricity required to
balance the positive electricity Of the
surface Of the edrth.
He asserts that there Is always a
considerable fall in potential In the
neighborhood OF waterfalls, amounting
Mt Zambesi in Africa. for instance, to
5000 volts per metre.
The amount OF emanation OF radium
and tnorium in the air depends on the
course Of the wind, whether 1t Is over
land or sea. This Is responsible for
the ionization OF the air. The extent
10 which the air stays ionixed depends
on side currents.
Sir oliver Lodge holds that It ID
necessary to apply electricity to the
sou only in cloudy weather. The plants
themselves, hs says, have terminals
which discharge electricity In bright
sunshine.

him on the old colonial mahogany Of
the dining-room in Philadelphia. But
up there in the wilds she had eaten
the coarse homely fare with the zest
and relish of the most seasoned ranger
of the hills. Anxious to be OF service,
she had burned her hands and smoked
her hair and scorched her face by
usurping the functions of the young
ranchman who had been brought along
as cook, and had actually fried the
bacon herself! Imagine a goddess
with a frying pan! The black thick
coffee and the condensed milk, drunk
from the granite ware cup, had a more
delicious aroma and a more delight
full taste than the finest Mocha and
Java In the daintiest porcelain OF
France. Optimum condimentum. The
girl was frankly ~ravenously hungry,
the air, the altitude, the exertion, the
excitement made her able to eat any
thing and enjoy 1t.
She was %gloriously beautiful, too;
even her brief experience in the west
had brought back the missing roses
to her cheek, and had banished the
/ bistre circles from beneath her eyes.
Robert Maitland, lazily reclining
| propped up against a boulder, his feet
to the fire, smoking an old pipe that
would have given his brother the hor-
/ rors, looked with approving COM
~placency upon her, confident and sat
isfed that his prescription was work

who looked at her that way. Marion

cousin and they SAT- one on either side
OF her on the great log lying between

Junior condescended to give her ap'

was at her feet. Mrs. Maitland had
been greatly taken by her young
niece. Kirkby made no secret of his
devotion, Arthur Bradshaw and Henry

what troubled present aspect. She
threw off her preoccupation instantly
and easily, however. and Joined read
lily enough In the merry conversation
of the way.
Mr.. Robert Maitland, as Armstrong
has said, had known him from a boy.
There were things in his career OF
which Maitland did not and could not
approve, but they were of the past, ne
reflected. and Armstrong was after
all a pretty good sort. Mr.. Maitland's
standards were not at all those OF his
Philadelphia brother, but they were
very high. His experiences OF men
had been different; he thought that
Armstrong, having certainly by this
time reached years of discretion, could
be safely entrusted with the precious
treasure of the young girl who had
been committed to his care. and for
whom his affection grew as his knowl-
edge Of and acquaintanceship with her
increased.
AS for Mrs. Maitland and the two
girls and the youngster. they were
Armstrong; devoted friends. They
knew nothing about his past, indeed
there were things in 1t of which Matt
land himself was ignorant, and which
had they been known to him might
have caused him to withhold " his
tentative acquiescence in the pbssibili-
ties.
Most of these things were known
to old Kirkby, who with mastery
skill, amusing nonchalance and amaz-
ing profanity. albeit most OF 1t under
his breath lest he shock the ladies',
fooled along the four nervous, excited
bronchos that drew the big supply
wagon. Kirkby was Maitland's oldest
and most valued friend. He had been
the latter's deputy sheriff, he had
been a cowboy and q lumberman. a
mighty hunter and a successful miner,
and now. although he had acquired a
reasonable competence, and had a nice
little wife and a pleasant home in the
mountain village at the entrance to
the canon, he drove stage for pleas

jaunt from Morrison to Troutdale to

might spend a little time with his old
friend and the family who were all
greatly attached to him on this outing.
Enid Maitland. a girl of a kind that
Kirkby had never zen before, had
won the old mans heart during the
weeks spent on the Maitland ranch
