NO Better Place on Earth to

Medina, OAK. Mexico.
Dear Sir:-Though | have trav
eled thousands of miles from the
northwest to the tropics, yet |
nave never examined a more fav-
oraole place for a colony of peo-
pie than at Medina, Mexico. |
nave examined the said colony,
the soil, also the fruits grown
lhere, and consider it the best
proposition that ever saw.
There is every reason in my mind
TO believe that there is no better
place on earth.
The climate is excellent, album
dance of good water, good roads.
flnc tropical fruits an good
transportation. Also colony of
the most courteous and up to
date people in every way. The
native people seem to appreciate
the coming of the Americans very
much, for they know the value
of their skill towards the devel-
opment of the valuable Medina
lands. With best wishes
| remain,

HOW BASKET BALL CAME
TO BE ADOPTED.

Id" renee, hdn., FeD. ZJ.-
1.-The game of basket ball orig
mated partly by the endeavor to
create form of athletic exer-
else along the line of football and
partly by accident, +" said DR.. Mai
smith at the gymnasium today.
1t was while | was at the
Springfield training school in
Massachusetts in 1884, he con-
tiued, that we discovered that
the men who had played on the
football team were not taking any
interest in gymnasium exercis
after the season had closed. The
man who was the leader Of the
class became discouraged and
gave it up, and | was invited to
take his place.
Tries Dehorned Football.
L realized that the men want
ed some sort of game that would
be not only beneficial, but also
interesting. In other words, the
men wanted something they could
have some fun in. The only thing
that l did was to try to find
something of that sort.
AT first we tried a form of
dehorned' football, but that was
too rough. Next followed Soc
GER, and then lacrosse, but none
met the requirements of our
small gymnasium. One day the
question happened to strike me j:
What makes football rough
What makes the tackling? The
only way of stopping the man
running with the ball. Why not
eliminate the running and that
would eliminate the tackling ?
But you can't play game and
stand still all the while. Then
| conceived the idea of letting all
the men run except the man with
the ball, and he would have to
pass it before he could run.
First Used Peach Baskets.
THAT point settled and expert
mented with and found satisfac-
tory, the next that came up was
the question of goals. An ordi-
nary football goal would be too
easy to make, real goal, such
as used in lacrosse or soccer
would likely be easily torn down
by sending the ball into it with
great force. / thought of the
plan of turning the goal up hori-
zontally so that the ball instead
of being thrown in forcibly woulC
have to describe an arc before it
entered. | though at first of
placing it about two feet off of
the floor, and then | realized that
all goalkeeper would have to
do was to sit on it and it would
be impossible for the opponents
to score. | then thought of plac-
ing it up above the players head
4 went to the janitor and ask
ed for some sort of a box. 1t jus
happened that he procured q
couple of baskets (such as peach.
es are shipped in about Is inch.
es across at the top and taper
/ ING down toward the bottom
