SPRINGFIELD, HI, Dec. 21.-By I
request Of the secretary of war, Unit !
ed States District Attorney w. A. I
Northcott has beeil ordered by the at /
torney general Of the United States
to start proceedings in the federal
court here to condemn Niota Island
In the Mississippi river in Illinois,
opposite Fort Madison, Iowa. to de-
termine what compensation shall be
paid the owner for clearing and
flooding it by the building Of the big
dam, lock and dry dock at Keokuk.
The matter is of special Importance
to the government, as the navigation
of the river will depend next spring
on the use of the new lock.
This is the first time the act of
congress of 1906, has been applied to
the Keolsuk damA although the COM
mittee report previous to its passage
stated that 1t was designed especial
" for that work in the river. 1t pro-
yides that when part of any works
built in river are to become the
property of the United States on COM
pletion, the United States may con-
denim land the works may overflow,

request Of the secretary OF war. The
war department files show that the
Keokuk water power company has
been generous with land owners in
yolved and has settled with over
eight hundred amicably. The owner
of Niota Island, Henry D. Evering-
ham, stands pat in demand for $685.

deed shows he paid fof it about four
years ago, and after long drawn out
negotiations Uncle Sam steps in I'M

been enforced only once or twice
and that In the south.
End Of Long Negotiations.
The water power COMPANY say that
the action of the United States gov
eminent regarding Niota Island Is
the end of long negotiations which
have been unsuccessful because Ev.
eringham's deed shows he paid $500
for the island, the company offered
him $1,000 for it. and he was persist.
ent in demanding $4,000 for the
right to clear and flood the island
The island contains 341 acres by a
recent survey and Everingham..
deed to it is from Sidney Smith, oil

covered with trees which the war de
partment has ordered removed from
all islands drowned in the lake above

acres are sometimes planted in corn

THE BASEBALL M|CROBE
BEGINS TO SHOW ACTIVITY
Pullman Has Plenty of New Material and Old
ReabeS for First-Class Team. Talk of
New League of -Four Towns.

The baseball microbe is already in
evidence in Pullman. While the local
fans have no intention of joining the
Inland league which is being or
gani2ed by ColfaX, Palouse, Occur
d Alene and Spokane boosters, they
do propose to have 4 first class team
in the field and are agitating the for
m alton of a league to include Mos
COW, Genesee, Lewiston and Pullman.
All these towns are within easy reach
of each other, and all have sufficient
home talent to organize strong
strictly amateur teams. A meeting
of the Pullman enthusiasts will be
held next Friday evening, February
8. at the office of Sanger & Dow to
elect a manager, treasurer and cap
tain and discuss the proposed new
league.
That Pullman is in a position to
put a much stronger team in the
field than last year is evidenced by
the following array OF talent: Gar
lock, a star catcher from the Michi-
gan State league is now a resident of
Pullman in the employ of A. J Hoch-
radel; Gibson, a new addition to the

PULLMAN FRIENDS
ASSIST HIM IN HOUR Of NEED
Help to Raise $500 Fine Imposed Upon Him
for Transaction in Connection with
Belngham Bank

w. ID. Outman, formerly we'll
known citizen of Pullman. was here
on Tuesday. Last Saturday he en-
tered a plea of guilty to the charge of
receiving deposits, while in charge of
the Home Security Savings Bank at
Bellingham, knowing the institution
to be insolvent, and was fined $2500
and costs. He was given an oppor-
tunity by the court to go to Eastern
Washington to raise the money to
pay the fine, and that was his mission
in Pullman. That his old friends
have not lost faith in him and believe
that he is victim of circumstances
rather than of dishonesty on his own
part, was proved by the manner in
which they rallied to his support
When he left here he had nearly the
required amount in cash and antici-
pated no trouble in raising the bal
ance.

tation as a pitcher for Davenport,
Wash, Plains, Mont, and several
other towns; Garrison, who played
with the Spokane Amateur Athletic
clubs team in the Spokane City
league. is now employed in the local
telephone office and is equally at
home in the positions of shortstop
and third base. In addition to this
new and promising material there are
the old reliables, Osthoff and Moss,
who can officiate either in the box
or the Outfield. Van Dorm, who plays
short or second base in big league
form; Thorpe, the heavy hitting out
fielder; Tweed Amos, who is not
has-been either at first or in the out
field; Cave, who has not forgotten
how to cover the second bag; Boiler,
the star first baseman; Gaddis, the
sure and speedy outfielder, and, last,
but not least, Sanger. the heavy hit
ting veteran, who can play almost
any position and is the bane of OPP
posing pitchers. With such a wealth
of first class material Pullman can
certainly put out team which will
make them all go some.

In the second half the Pullman

delayed by washout on the O.-W.
H. & n. near Albion. They were
more than compensated for the long
wait however, by the high class en-
'er'dlhment which he gave them.
Mr.. Packard not only drew some
very clever cartoons, but delighted
MS auditors with a running fire of

Pullman High School Ranks High

This is remarkable showing, CON
sidering the poor accommodation
and equipment of the school. While
it is true that the Pullman high
school has the largest attendance of
any in the county. is doing the best
work, graduating larger classes, and
easily taking the lead in athletics and
other forms of student activity, it is
equally true that Pullman has the
poorest accommodations and facili-
ties for high school work of almost
any city in the county. Lack of a
decent assembly room lack of ade-
quate recitation rooms. lack of
gymnasium, lack of dom este science
and manual training facilities, are
serious handicaps which can be re-
moved i'll no way except by the cree
ton of modern and properly
equipped building. If Pullman had
as good a high school building as
ColfaX or Garfield or Tekoa or
Rosalia or several other towns in the
county. it would be very easy to
make reputation as a prep school
for colleges which would attract
many families to this city. The fac
ulty, the student body, the school
spirit are all here, but the building
and equipment are lacking.
