Colby College.

From all indications Colby has the
most encouraging prospects of turn
ing out a championship baseball team,
this season. In fact there is just as
much odds, ii not more, in favor of
the WaterVille team, thar there is in
favor of any of the other Maine coll
leges.
In the first place and of fundamen-
tai Importance, Colby has for a coach,
Forest A. (Baggy) Allen of Fairfield,
who is known all over the State by
baseball fans as one of the most com
petent in this section of the country.
He has shown fighting spirit and abil-
ity 10 impart this characteristic to the
teams he mas coached Allen knows
the game, and, of almost equal i'm
pertance he knows the men on the
squad personally. as no other coach
has known them, for several years.
Colby also has in Captain Bowker
a worker known by all college men in
the State to be deliberate, cool and
invincible At Hebron he played at
third sack, Tor -FOUR Years. and his
last year he captained the team At
Colby he has PLAYED third, for two
years. and this year "Bowk" will be
found at his old position
Along with a good coach and
working captain Colby has an abund
ant amount of new material which it
is expected will be developed into an
alignment of men that will cause the
Varsity men TO set up and take no.
lice Among the 20 new men out for
the team, there arc all-interscholast

PRIVATE IRRIGATION
RIGHTS PROTECTED

STOCKTON, Cal, Nov. 22.-The di-
rectors of an irrigation district can
not force a landowner to become
member against his will and assume
a pro rata share of the assessment
if the land is already irrigated by
private system, according to a deci-
sion of the Third District Court of
Appeals handed down in the case OF
the South Side Irrigation District vs..
w. b. HARRISON.
1t is the first expression of the
Appellate Court on the matter and is
regarded as highly important.
The decision affirms SuperiorJudge
Frank H. Smith, who ordered the dis
trict to exclude the ranch of w. Is.
HARRISON on the ground that he did
not need the water. Heretofore sin
gle landowners opposing the forma-
ton of districts have been forced in
on the ground that to exclude their
land would be substantially giving
them the benefit of an irriga ton sys-
TEN free of charge, as they would
get the benefit of it anyway.

we are glad to say meets with the
hearty approval of all good citizens.
Here's his Words
81 say to you now, and to the peo-
pie of this state, that during my ad-
ministration there will be no spoils.
Men will be appointed to office who
have the qualifications of efficiency
to the people of this state during my
and honesty, and no others. | am
going to live up to the pledges made
campaign, and | want it understood
that every man and woman in the
employ of the state will have to do
their utmost TO fill the positions to
which they are appointed. There is
work to be done, and the work will
not end at sharply four or five
o'clock. The people of the state are
entitled to a business, economical,
progressive administration, and if it
lies within my power thay will get
one. Good business will be my poll
tics while governor, and the demo-
Gratis believe with me that if the
democratic party wants to build up
and grow in this state, it can do so
by giving the state good admins
