PLAY A 8 TO 9
TIE, BASKETBALL,
Portland Girls and Augusta
Girls Sextettes Still I'm
settled as to Supremacy
Upriver Team Leaves to
Catch Train.

Portland, Me-, Dec. 2s-The fact that
High school basketball team were forced
to leave the surface at the Burnham
gymnasium at the close of the third Pc
Rod to catch a train for their homes in
Augusta the supremacy of the visitors
and the Portland High girls teams re-
mains unsettled. The score stood 9 to 8
and the extra period could not be played
The three periods developed some excep-
tionaly fast basketball and the small
tie score represents just how evenly
matched the teams are and how fast the
girls played during the three 10-minute
periods
While the ball was in Cony's territory
during the greater part or the first period
the stubborn defence put up by Cony's
guards prevented Portland's forwards
from shooting a single basket and the
three goals from fouls Gagged by Miss
Haskell for Cony was the only score reg
istered in the opening 10 minutes of play
In the remaining periods the teams
were very evenly divided in all depart
ments of the game. In the second period
Portland overcame the margin or lead
held by Cony by a single point, the score
at the end of the period being: Cony Z,
Portland 5. Star shots from the floor by
Misses Jones, Thompson and Craven and
two baskets in as many attempts by
Miss Haskell from the foul line featured
this period.
Portland. two points in the rear, started
the final period of play in whirlwind
fashion. A field goal by Miss Kavanaugh
tied the score early in the period and
with the crowd pulling for the game the
girls on the team fought hard for an
other score to bring Portland out in the
lead. Their hopes were momentarily
shattered by Miss HaskelIs pretty goal
from the surface, which again put the
visitors out in front by two points. How
ever, Portland played brilliantly and
Cony's desperate defence resulted in Miss
Kavanaugh's succeeding in putting one
in the net and brought the score but a
single point behind the visitors and Miss
Craven tied the score again with another
foul goal with but two minutes left to
play. Both teams were playing desper-
ately for the single point of advantage
when the whistle sounded for the end of
the period. and while the sound of the
whistle still echoned through the air
Miss Kavanaugh shot a pretty goal from
a difficult angle at the side of the play
ing surface, but as the end of the game
had been announced the score failed to
count.

AS TO COMPENSATION laws

1t is to be hoped that the threatened deadlock between
house and senate at Helena will not be the cause of tn,
defeat OF considerable important legislation which is pend
ing. There are several measures which are Of general con
Germ, yet which are not in any way partisan questions, anc
these should receive the earnest consideration of the mem.
bers of the legislature. Among these is the compensation
law.
There are bills before the legislature, bearing upon this
subject, which are bewildering in their number and in their
feat of the entire proposition. The attitude Of labor organ.
izations is adding to this confusion; there is disagreement
there. The stated position OF the more extensive employ
ers in the state is that they desire a compensation law; but
they want one which will be equitable in its provisions.
The lawmakers should bear in mind the doctrine of fair
play in dealing with this proposition. The principle of the
compensation law is right, we believe, but it should not be
carried to the extreme that injustice is done to either en-
ploye or employer. BY way of illustration, it may be said
that one of the bills now before the legislature is practically
a copy of the Washington compensation law, except that
the amounts OF compensation have been increased a little
more than half.
Now the lumber mills of Montana are in competition in
the market with the mills of Washington. The wages
which they pay their men are, we believe, about a third
higher than the pay which the Washington employees re-
ceive. 1t costs more to log in Montana than it does in
Washington, aside from the item of wages. The imposi-
ton Of a compensation which is fifty per cent higher than
that of Washington would add further to the handicap I'M
der which Montana millmen operate.
This is cited merely as an instance to illustrate the neces-
sity of fairness in the consideration of the compensation
measure. There are many phases of the subject to be
considered.
We are for a compensation law-strongly for such a
statute. But we believe that the solution of the problem
is to be found in a fair-and-square regard for the rights of
all concerned. Manufacturers who are careful in their pro-
visions for the safety of their employees should not be forced
to pay the penalty for careless employers; this would merely
place a premium upon the indifference of those employers
who do not take proper precautions to safeguard their men.
Nor should employees be unreasonable in their demands.
Montana should have a compensation law. As we under
stand it, the employers are in favor of such an enactment.
Many OF the employees are favorable. Under these condi-
tons it should be possible to agree upon a measure which
will be equitable.

A CRITICAL

Wisely, We think, is it f%orecasted
that the real crisis in the Wilson adj
ministration will come when the con-
~servation policy is considered and de-
cided upon. The public u%tterances of
the president elect upon this subject
have shown his position to be that Of
a man who seeks to meet this great
question fairly and to handle it for the
best interests Of the whole people. The
Issue about which the policy of the in
coming administration must center is
the handling of the w~ater-power prob
lem. This is the really great question
in development, right now. We believe
the disposition of the incoming presi-
dent is to treat this proposition in the
light of real conservation. But there
is tremendous influence being brought
to bear upon him. we are told, to place
at the head of the interior department
a mar who Is known to be reaction
airy in his views upon the conservation
of water power. If such a man as this
is selected to sound the conservation
note of the Wilson administration, that
note will be discordant with the wishes
Of the people. Better far to have an
eastern man with the right conception
of the Importance of this question than
to have a western man whose point of
view is that of the great organizations
which are seeking to appropriate all
of this wealth of power which belongs
to the people. We would like a west
ern man-but we repeat. We would
rather have an eastern man than a
westerner with the wrong idea Of con
s%ervation.

FOR THE GENERAL

Editor Missoulian-In the papers at
this time much is being written Of the
shortage of General Daniel E.. Sickles
to the monument fund of the state Of
New York. 1t would be a disgrace to
the nation to let the state Of New
York prosecute the man who fought SO
%valiantly for the preservation OF the
union. 1t will do no good to appeal to
J.. p. Morgan or any man OF, that stripe.
While General Sickles was fighting the
battles of the nation, J. p. Morgan was
laying the foundation of his great for
tune by defrauding the government In
the matter Of rifles. I will suggest the
following plan. l am enclosing 10 cents
in silver, and let every veteran Of the
civil war and every veterans son n
daughter, who wishes to, contribute a
like amount. all of these contributions
to be sent to you providing you will
act as the custodian of his fund), and
forward the same to the state treas
urer of the state of New York. Let
every paper in the country outside OF
New York state (for a state h a will
allow such a thing should hav no part
in raising a fund to pay this shortage)
take this matter up and receive sub
%scriptions to this fund, until the total
shall be enough to make good this
shortage. The man who turned back
the line of gray at the battle of
Gettysburg deserves more at the hands
of his country than a felon's cell. My
old father carried a musket through
the war of the rebellion, and I am sure
will contribute his mite to save this
man the shame that New York would
thrust upon him. Very truly yours,
A. M. MILES.

Editor Missoulian:

Editor Missoulian:
I wish in this way to have a per-
sonal word with every person in Mis-
soula, but more especially with the
members Of the seven churches en-
gagged In the union evangelistic meet
ings now in progress in Elite hall.
From the weather standpoint we have
had a bad starr, but the great inter-
est shown in the few-days-old cam
paign despite the unfavorable wealth
er, has certainly been most encour-
aging and as the leader, / take this
way of expressing my great s%atisfac-
tion." At the same time I wish to
urge the members of the churches en-
gagged in the effort, to lay all else
aside during this month. 1t happens
to be the lenten season, and for that
reason, a good time to draw near to
God" I urge that all church affairs,
such as choir ~rehearsals and the
meetings Of the ladies, either be
called off, or put at an hour when
they will not interfere with the even
ing or afternoon meetings. I am
here to do all I a to advance your
church," but I can do a lot more if
these suggestions are observed, as
they always have been in the fields
where we have labored: Another
thing enters into it. 1t looks strange
to see an announcement in one COL
umn of your papers, of the. union
meetings, and in another an
ment of some church affair for the
same hour, given by one of the
churches engaged in the union effort.
The world outside cannot UNDER
stand "why?" Let us give them no
reason to ask "why?' When we em-
ploy men to work for us, we plan in
every way to get the most out of
them. That is the idea we wish to
impress upon the membership of these
churches.
To those who are not Christians. we
urge that you give the meetings "a
hearing" SO to speak. I am not 60
ing to boost" my own work. but do
insist the right of an honest investi-
cation. We give a horse thief an
honest trial, and I demand as much
consideration as a horse, thief, to say
the least. The loudest DIRECTORS to
such campaigns, very frequently are
those who never attend a single serv-
ice, and / am sorry to say, this in
cludes some who are ~professedly
Christians.
I wish very much that every MEM
Der of the seven churches might be
present at the meeting tomorrow
Thursday evening. I shall try to
deliver, a message Of great, present
Importance.
