JIM THoRPE's TROPHY.
Discovered by Government Agent in
 Oklahoma.

While the aborigdne, Jim Thorpe, is draping his 1.-the form upon the crest of the athletic world as an all around champion by virtue of his vic tory in the pentathlon and decathlon at the Olympic games, 1t is interesting to note that had it not been for a. gov ernment Indian agent one of Americas best athletes would have been guiding 8 plough across his fathers produc- tive acres near Keol11k Falls, Okla, instead of competing for points for the United States Alex Grain, a gov ernment agent at Wewolza, Okla, claims to have discovered Thorpe while he was still a boy and to have been influential in sending Thorpe to the Carlisle Indian school, where he show ed his ability as an athlete. Jim was the youngest son, and although his brothers had been graduated from Car hsle it was not the intention of his parents to send him to the school up to the time that Grain realized the boys athletic prowess.
 The Thorpes live on a ranch near Keol1uk Falls, Okla, and several of the athletes brothers and sisters re- side there also The citizens of the place as well as the athletic authori- ties of Oklahoma City plan to give the 9OOTIglne great reception on nlS ar rival from Stockholm
 During the last football season, which marked Thorpe's third year at Carlisle, he attracted considerable att tention by his sensational playing on Soldiers field against Harvard, when the Indians trounced the Crimson by a score of IS to 5. Thorpe was not only proficient in football, but also in baseball, basketball and hockey. He can play any position on the diamond.
 Thorpe is 23 years old and weighs between TO and 1sO pounds. He stands a trifle over feet and neither drinks nor smokes. He Is always in perfect physical condition, doing little routine training, but keeping himself fit by proper care and exercise of tho body. He has been elected captain of this falls eleven at Carlisle. He is a full bIooded Sac and Fox Indian, and has announced that he will return to his native state, Oklahoma, when he is graduated from Carlisle.

LANeFoRD DEFEATS MVEY.
Negro HsaVyweights Clash in Twenty
 Round Battle at Sydney.

Sydney, New South Wales, Aug. 4.- Sam Langford of Boston won a twen- ty round fight here Saturday night from Sam McVey of California, on points. Both are negro heavyweights The contest went the full distance. Neither scored a knockdOwn. but at the end McVey had reveived the great CT punishment, Langford's superiority on points was so palpable that the referees decision in his favor was loudly cheered by the crowd
 Throughout Langford was the az gressor, showing a strong preference for infghting and punching in the clinches, which in the second round provoked a protest from the police. Again in the foutrh, when the men were ordered to their corners, Lang ford was cautioned
 After that, while always on the az gressive, the Boston heavyweight showed more restraint, breaking in the clinches at the call of the referee. McVey displayed cleverness and fought cleanly, but his science was Unavail- ing against LangforGs fierce attacks and superior strength and stamina. In the eleventh round he was in distress, but his skill enabled him to avoid a knockout.
 The betting was 5 to 2 on Langford. There were many women among the spectators.

WEIGHT IMPORTANT FACTOR
 IN SEASONS ELEVENS
New Football Rules Place Premium on
 AVoirdupois.

Young men who have weight as well as speed will be welcome at the col leges in the fall.
 Under the new football rules there will be something of a premium on av0irdupois, and the coaches of the defense are casting about for the 200- poUnders, for 1t is generally agreed that the tackles will have harder work to do than last year.
 The leading coaches took very little rest after the close of last season, and they have been busy working out the plans for the coming season ever since the playing code was changed
 It seems odd to talk of football at this time of year, and a conference of coaches with the perspiration stream ing down their faces would be funny if it were not so serious.
 AS a matter of cold fact-if any thing can be cold at the moment many of the best coaches are seriously worried over the tackle proposition.
 Even a slashing good tackle like Jim Scully of Yale, whoNplayed at weight as low as 166 pounds last year, would be hard put to stand the work he would now have to face under the new rules.
 There are plenty of coaches right now figuring on how to keep putting the plays across the tackle, and they are sanguine of success in the fall
 All of which means that last years conditions are reversed, and that the

GALLAGHER HELD
 BACK TOO LONG
New Haven Marathon Runner Writes His Experience.

Johnny Gallagher the NaW Haven A. A. runner who finished seventh in the recent Marathon at the Olympic games, has written the director of the club of his experience in the race, He says that his big mistake was that he held back too long. In his letter he says:
 We were quartered at this place for ten days and had great time, fishing In the many streams and strolling amongSthe pines which put our team in such good shape as to have ten Americans in the first seventeen to finish out of about seventy five start CTS.
 T made one big mistake in holding back in the first half of the race and allowing the others to open up such a space that despite my great finish in the last half, was unable to do better than catch thirty men in the last eight miles and finish stronger than any man in the race, taking seventh place. So there is my truthful excuse for not winning and the opinion of all the wit nesses The men in front of me bare- ly finished and were completely out, and Mike Murphy is confident I can trim McArthur. Ryan, Corckery Gan ada) and many stars ran themselves out at the start and quit before eigh- teen miles. My only salvation is a match with McArthur, who, I under stand, intends to continue amateur competition.
 q am pleased with seventh place from such a field. and am happy and astounded with kind treatment by the Swedes. Johnny Hayes assisted in training us and he had great confidence in me, as I beat all our boys in trial over the course fin hours and 40 min utes. Ryan was second and Socka. lexis third. This trial benffted me greatly, giving me confidence, and was in the pink of condition when toed the mark"

Why VentiIate the Dairy Barn

One OF the great causes OF disease
of animals is the unfavorable ex-
ternal conditions, for no living thing
can thrive unless the surrounding con-
ditions are favorable for its growth. AL
animals have a certain capacity for en-
during unfavorable influences. This
capacity is usually spoken of as vital
resistance" This may be great or
small, but every animal must have
more or less Of II OF it cannot continue
its struggle for existence.
It was recognized more than a cen
fury ago that impure air induces
disease. Impure air is not the cause
of the disease, but constitutes an IN
favorable surrounding condition. The
vitiated air Of stables reduces the vital
resistance OF an animal, rendering II
less adaptable to the extremes Of con
ditions to which it may be exposed
and more susceptible to infection,
against which it has no sure defense.
Dairy barns are very frequently poorly
ventilated. The dairy COW is then not
only required to live, but to work I'M
der unfavorable influences and she
often falls a victim to such diseases
as tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchitis,
colds, etc. Foul air is one of the
prime factors in the production of such
diseases.
Since the advent of sanitary science
in connection with ventilation the air
space allowed for each animal has been
increased, and a number of methods oil
ventilation have been devised. The
exercise OF little care in such matters
will protect the health Of animals, pre-
vent premature death, and also make
possible the highest working efficiency
of the herd.

RECORD PRODUCTION
OF GOLD AND SILVER
Value of WashingtOn'S Metal Product
Over 100000 in 1911

Washington in 1911, TO judge by
early information from the mines, made
a gain over the record production Of
1910 in gold and silver, according to
c. n. Gerry, Of the United States
Geological Survey. The total value Of
the states metal product was slightly
over a million dollars, compared with
something less than a million in 1910.
More than four-ffths Of the value was
that Of gold, and about one-tenth that
Of silver. Most Of the output Of both
these metals was derived from the
siIceous ore Of Ferry county. The
Republic district remains the most pro
ductive locality, and much was done in
the way Of mill building and develop
ment. The largest shippers were the
Republic Mines Corporation, Hnob
Hill, Insurgent, Imperator-Quilp, San
Poll, and Hope. The first four declared
dividends in 1911. The district out
put was approximately 1000 tons Of
ore a mouth. The Rathion Reduction
company operated a cyanide mill on
old tailings. The first 125ton unit Of
a 1000 ton cyanide plant was complet-
ed by the North Washington Power &
Reduction company. At Liberty, in
Kittitas county, a 10-stamp mill was
erected for the Cougar mine. The
Everett smelter, in Snohomish county,
was dismantled and the debris shipped
to Tacoma. In Stevens county gold
and silver came principally from copper
lead and iron ores. The First Thought
mine has been an important producer
at Orient. At the Napoleon mine,
near Marcus, 1O-stamp amalgamation
and cyanide mill treated oxidized ores
while the sulphide ore was sent to
a smelter.
According to preliminary figures
compiled by the director of the mint,
which do not include statistics for met
al contents Of ores exported in 1911,
Washington produced during the year
S5O4.537 in gold and 142, l96 fine
ounces of silver, valued at S78,2o9.
Final figures for 1910 gave for Wash
ington $685. 900 in gold and 100000
ounces of silver, valued at S11o,6Oo.
