with Palouse last Saturday night with
an overwhelming score of 43 to 4.
The Palouse boys played a good game,
but were unable to compete with the
finished team work of our players.
Coach Edmundson can not be given
too much credit for the improvement
which his efficient coaching has made
over our team work of last year. With

The Olympic Games.

| No doubt every one has shown keer
interest in reading the various &C.
counts of the Olympic games, which
were held at Stockholm last summer
According to critics on athletics this
was the greatest meeting of it's kind
ever held in the worlds history. Every
nation was represented by its best ath-
letes. 1t was battle for athletic
supremacy of the world, just as fierce
ly fought as contest for military
leadership.
The moving picture man was on the
athletic field and his account Of the
notable event Is far more complete and
interesting than any written article,
no matter how carefully developed
The greatest of pains was taken by
the moving picture man to get every
detail Of the games and to make it a
complete record, that would give the
people the clearest possible idea of
the relative athletic strength of the
nations represented. 1t is this COM
pleted product of Goth century photo
raphy that the people of Moscow are
given an opportunity to see Friday
afternoon and evening at the Casino
theatre. Given under the auspices and
for the benefit of the Greater Idaho
club, which is an organization of
former Idaho students and business
men of Moscow to further the inter-
ests of the university and worked hard
to have these pictures shown in Mos
COW, as a reward for it's services q
portion of the proceeds of the enter
tainment will be devoted to the club.
The price of admission will be Is
cents at both afternoon and evening
performances.

BERGER TO FIGHT FOR
WESTERN SETTLERS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Congress-
man Victor Berger has recently been
overwhelmed with complaints from
!. homestead settlers in Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana, that the
action of the forest service in selling
large tracts of government timber TO
the big lumber interests has ruined
them. They charge that the lease OF
government forest reserve lands to the
big lumber companies at prices far be-
low those wrich the settlers have here
tofore secured for small cuttings, mas
left the settlers no choice but to sell
cheaply at a competitive figure. AS
timber is the chief product of thous-
ands of wooded homesteads In ths
northwest, the settlers allege that the
action OF the forestry bureau has prac-.
tically forced crop failure"
They charge further that the big
timber interests have divided up the
territory, and none will buy any timber
offered for sale in the others allotment
OF this territory, that the settler must
either take what the one bidder Is will
ing to offer, or he can not market his
trees at all.
Berger is starting an investigation OF
the whole affair.

RELIC OF GREAT ADMIRAL
English Museum Has Toy Ship Be-
ileved to Have Been Construct
ed by Lord Nelson.

An interesting addition has Just
heen made to the historical exhibits In
the museum of the Royal United Serv-
Ice institution. London. II consists of
n little ship which is believed to have
been at one time In the possession of
Lord Nelson. and possibly was the toy
vessel In rigging and handling from
which the great admiral learnt the
rudiments OF seamanship. At all
events. some forty years ago. she was
given. with this tradition attaching to
her. to Lord Wolseley. who has now
generously presented her to the insti-
tuition.
Not only was the little boat built
and rigged on board the merchant yes
sci In which. under Rathbone. one OF
his old petty officers. Captain Susk-
ling sent Nelson. his nephew. for a
cruise to learn seamanship In i772. but
II is quite possible she was also In
tended to represent this ship. In
many respects she is more like an
armed merchantmhn OF the period
than n ship OF the royal navy.
II IL beyond doubt that II Nelson
helped TO rig her ms part OF his train
ing for sea life he would have kopt
her as memento OF those early days.
and now that she is TO be publicly
exhibited and Attention is directed to
her existence. II is hoped that further
light may be thrown upon her history.

ization of pan-Balkan confederation
OF states after the fashion Of the Ger
man empire. Consolidation is the Or
der of our era from manufacturing
plants and financial enterprises to ma
tional governments and racial solidar-
ity. The world owes the United States
the lesson to be learned from the fed
Grafton Of states. Germany has taken
the lesson to heart and is profiting by
1t. This 10 suggested AZ the outcome
OF the present war Of the Balkans.
Population Mixed.
The population of the states here
under review Is very mixed. Its SEN
timents are neither Asiatic nor Euro
penn, but kind OF mixture of both.
In this way the new federation would
play an important part as a buffer be-
tween Russia and western Europe and
also between the two continents. The
Territory is agriculturally rich, pos
sesses great mineral deposits, Is dot
ted over with magnificent forests. is
cut by fine rivers and offers advant-
ages for wonderful development in
every respect for the upbuilding Of
magnificent cities at many points.
With the Bosporus. the Sea OF Mar
mora and the Dardanelles in posses
sion OF the confederation feet Of
warships might be collected strong
enough to bid defiance to half the
world.
II these Teutonic empires should be
brought together they will constitute
formidable menace to all OF Europe
east and west of them. So far English
influence at Vienna united with that Of
St. Petersburg has kept Austria and
Germany apart But as the great
game is played out there Is no telling
what combinations may be made
which would send this power to sac
riice a knight or n castle and that
power to give up bishop or hand
full OF pawns to protect the king. Al
together II Is one OF the greatest
games OF war and diplomacy ever
