Sunday the Rapids Won by Is
to 2 score. The contest was one
sided, the Merrill team being outclasf
ed in every way. Nelson pitched air
tight ball and broke into the swat
column with a single and three
bagger out of four times up. Fence
buster Felsch got his usual home
run, this time after two strikes we're
called on him in the eighth, he pasted
the ball over the center-field fence
it was the longest hit ever made
on the home grounds. Merrill used
up three pitchers in an effort to stop
the slugging. LalIy started on the
firing line for Merrill but was taken
out and replaced by Bentz after five
runs had been counted in the first

position is that the government Will

the intruder, on the contrary, 1t
merely says to the original claimant:
"Your cause is just, but you will
have to take the matter into the
court, and there is no recourse for
you except through the decision OF
the court" From this time forward,
therefore, the contest is on the ques-
tion of which man has the most

In the great Southwest there is no
stream that compares in Importance
to the Colorado river. There are
only two others on the western coast
of America that compare at all with
it, the Sacramento and the Columbia.
The river begins hundreds of miles
up in the heart of the Rocky Noun
tains and empties into the Gulf OF
California near the Mexican boundry
line. 1t carries with it an immense
amount of water, it's course for the
most part lying along arid plains
where the rainfall is about the scan
tiest in the country. When the
SHOWS melt in the mountains the
floods are torrential and very des-
tructive at many points. bill is
pending before Congress for the APP
preparation of $50, 100000 to regulate
the flow of this river, and to store
it's flood waters. There is no river
in the United States whose waters
call for regulation more loudly than
the Colorado, and none where the
storage of the surplus waters can
be made of more immediate use,
promising greater results.

December gets it's name from the
Latin decem (ten), there being origi-
nally 10 months in the year Caesar,
who was great friend of the masse;;
decided that it would be easier to
pay rent in II installments than in
10, and added two more months. He
was assassinated by Casca and other
real estate men, but the Julian cal
ender survived, and it was the terror
of landlords for 16 centuries.
1t was upon this occasion that
Marc Antony, who was a friend of
Caesar, made the most artful appeal
to human nature in the history of
man. While there had been a great
deal in Caesars career that did
him no credit, Antony made such eff
fective use of the fact that the land
lords had killed him that the people,
who were almost all renters, finally
conceived their wrongs i'm the image
of Caesars, and killed every land
lord in town. There is some doubt if
