has been in the past half century. To
uphold this statement will cite a few
realities that have taken place in the
last expanse of fifty years Fifty years
ago Iowa was practically frontier
state, the west half of the state being
nearly uninhabited. Audubon county
fifty years ago was wilderness, the
only settlements of any size were found
at Old Hamlin and near the present
town of Extra. Only twenty-five years
ago there was still homestead land in
the northwestern part of the state.
Pochontas Center had no railroad until
a few years ago. But think for a
moment what has happened during
those intervening years, the state was
settled by leaps and bounds, the ilder
ness was rapidly converted into the
greatest agricultural state in the union.
Could some prophet have stated in the
sixties that things would be in 1913 as
they now are he would have been cast
aside as day dreamer or as one dan
gerous to the peace of community
Fifty years ago the forests of Ohio and
Indiana were practically nuisance and
were burned in order to clear the land;
but the changes since that time have
betn so remarkable in those states that
they are practically devoid of timber.
Lumber is so sclree and high priced
that concrete posts are greatly used,
while roofing in many places instead of
being wood is made of steel or clay
shingles.
The rural schools of Iowa will prob
ably advance in the years to come in
proportion to the advancement of other
things. Long before the year 1860 our
schools will probably be consolidated as
many in various counties now are. The
most of the consolidated schools at
present are located in the eastern part
of the state, although western Iowa has
recently established several.
Last spring in Shelby county alone
three special elections in three different
parts of the county were held for the
purpose of establishing that many con.
solidated schools. The proposition car
ried in two of the proposed districts
and lost in the other by q very small
margin; the two former schools are now
in successful operation and indications
are that these will be followed by
similar ones in adjoining counties in a
very short time. The general assembly

Wife Probably Knows.

Honolulu, Feb. 11.-Mrs. Robert F.
Scott, travelling toward New Zealand
on the steamship Aorangi, to meet her
husband, probably knows tonight of
his death, although the short range of
the Aorangi's wireless, which reaches
only 500 miles, prevents receiving any
word from that vessel.
The wireless offices here have a
stack of messages, sent here by cable
for Mrs. Scott, but all efforts to get
an answer from the Aorangi since
news of Captain SCOTS death was re-
Ceived have been unavailing. This does
not mean however, that the vessels
wireless has not picked up some of
thc messages sent out.

barring chance communication with
some passing liner, no news may be
received from her before that time.

NATIONAL LEAGUE LEADERS
HOLD SHORT AND QUIET
MEETING.
UMP|RES ARE SELECTED
President Lynch Announces the Names
Of His Arbiters-"Hank" O'Day Will
Be Given a Job If He Decides to
Take It.

New York, Feb. 11.-Harmony pre-
vailed at the opening session of the
adjourned annual meeting of the Ma
tional League of Baseball clubs here
today. The business transacted varied
little from the usual routine.
After a brief meeting of the board
of directors, the National league own
ers held a session Of scarcely an
hours duration and deferred action on
the playing schedule until tomorrow.
The directors decided that hereafter
when my National league club shall
take an umpire from President
Lynch's staff, the club will be re-
CURED to reimburse the league with
whatever amount the directors may
deem sufficient for the loss of the
umpire's services.
President Lynch announced his Sc
lection of umpires for the coming sea-
son as follows:
r. w. Emslie, w. j. Klein, Charles
Rigler, Clarence Owens, William
Brennan, Al Orth, NJ. w. Eason, w. J.
Guthrie n w. j. Byron.

President Lynch said President
Johnson had assured him the Ameri-
can league would not negotiate with
Hank O'Day if the National league
required his services. The former
manager of the Cincinnati club was
expected today, but President Lynch
said he had not heard from O'Day,
and if the latter consents he will be
added to the list of umpfres, making
the tenth man on this years staff.

FAST MORMON QUINTET WILL
MEET MONTANA TEAM AT
UNIVERSITY GYMNASIUM.
VARSITY WORKING HARD
Coach MUSTANG Gives His Men Hard
Practice and Has Five in Splendid
Evening,

Tomorrow evening the varsity bas-
kct ball team will meet the fast five
from the University of Utah, The
southerners arc expected herc tonight
or tomorrow morning for the first
game of their Montana series. This
will really be the big game of the
local season. The Mormons have one
of tile fastest teams in the west and
Will put up a mighty pretty game.
They have cleaned up almost V
crything in the Rocky Mountain con
ference and come here with an UNI
broken string of Is victories. -Four
OF the men have been playing togcth-
er for three years. All of them are
big fellows and are fast. Their team
work is remarkable, according to re
ports from the south, They come
here ready to wipe the floor with the
Montana quintet, but then, so did the
Aegies.
The varsity has been working
mighty hard since the game with the
Aggies and will go on the floor tomor-
row in splendid condition. They will
be outWeighed, but they have nerve
enough to make them the equals of
a team of giants. They showed their
gameness when they beat the husky
Farmer fly eand they Wno't be lacking
in it tomorrow night. During the
last week their team play has i'm
proved wonderfully: they will make
the Utah quintet hurry.
From Missoula the Utah team goes
to Bozeman and then to Billings for
games with the Aggies and the
Triple BIS.
Last night Coach MUSTANG gave his
men another hard workout. All OF
the regulars were out and worked to-
gether. They played better than they
have in a long time and the odds on
Utah dropped q lot. The first team
still lines up with whistler and Cum
minis in the forward positions, Tabor
at center and Shccdy and Wolfe
guarding. This is probably the way
the team will play when it meets
Utah.
New bleachers will be built down
stairs for the game Thursday night
and comfortable chairs will be placed
all around the track. The spectators
viii be able to sit comfortably through
the best game of the season.

Sprints, But Weak in the Distance
Freshmen Needed.

The annual met with the Aggies and
a meet in Missoula with either Wash
ington State or the University of
Idaho-that is the program offered
Montana's track men by Manager
"Spud'' Wiedman, AS a result of the
managers announcement the u%niyer-
sity students are already discussing
track prospects, and candidates for
athletic honors are already loosening
muscles and developing wind.
Washington State has sent word to
Mr.. WiedInan that a meet on May )
would be satisfactory; the University
of Idaho team is willing to come here
on May 10 if the annual Idaho inter-
scholastic meet is called off, as is ex-
pected. Mr.. Wicdman favors the Idaho
proposition, and II it goes through will
bring the Moscow team here. If the
Idaho high school meet is not called off
Pullman will come here on May 5.

Plenty of Sprinters.

Montanas track prospects are I'M
usually bright this year. The varsity
will be strong in almost every depart
ment, especially so in the sprints.
Captain OWsley, Jimmie Brown, Dowd.
Watkins and MOlchoir are all good
s]printcrs. OWsley won the individual
honors in the meet against the Aggies
last spring, and is counted a winner
this year. He expects to drop the
century and to confine his running to
the 220 and the quarter, The furlOng
sprint is his race, and he ought to
make a good quarter-miler, though he
has never tried the distance.
Brown, a freshman, won the indi-
vidual prize. in the state interscholas-
tic meet three year. ago. He is a fast
man in the hundred, and has tied the
state record in the low hurdles. These
two races and the 220-yard dash viii
be his events this spring, probably.
DoWd ran for the Victor high school
in the track meet last spring. He won
third place in the century dash, run
ming without form. He is a good nat
ural runner; all he needs is training.
He doesn't know how To run, but with
good coaching he Will be a winner.
Many people who saw the meet last
spring expressed the opinion that
Dowd was a better natural runner
than Hauser; training made the diff
ference. Watkins and Molchoir have
both done some s%printing and will
work with the squad this spring.
In Cameron and Wiedman, Montana
has a pair of good 440 and SS0-yard
men. Cameron has a good record and
Wcidman has made good time over
both distances. Cameron is already
training for the spring season, and
Wiedman is in fine shape after con
