mann, one of the survivors of the
Custer massacre in the early days of
Black Hills history, is dead at the
local hospital after an extended i'll

ing to the Black Hills. Els only
known relative in this country is a

Mans Superiority Early Shown.

Rude sculpture dating back, scien-
tific authorities believe, at least 200,-
900 years, show that primitive man
made representations OF other crea-
lures at a stage of human develop
ment when the conditions of exist
ence were little in advance of those
prevailing among the higher nam
mails of that period. But no other deni-
zen Of the earth manifested the slight
est desire or ability to make images
of anything.

Maintained Belief In Ignorance.

Opposition to state education in the
past was due largely to a belief that
too much learning was not good for
the masses. The worthy Hannah
More even, who was one of the most
earnest supporters of the movement
for the establishment of schools for
the poor in England. had very definite
ideas as to how far the children
should be educated. The curriculum,
she declared, should comprise only
reading the Bible and the catechism,
and "such coarse works as may fit the
children for servants" adding deci-
sively. 81 allow of no writing for the
POOR"

must be dealt with decisively and

The governor asked the opinion of
several gentlemen in the party as to
the boxing exhibitions, and was as
sured that in most towns the athletes
wear heavy, well-padded mitts, with
facial Disagreement very rare. They
seemed to regard such exhibitions as

MANY DRILLING MACHINES.
About 10000 Men Are Employed on
the Panama Canal Job.

According to Johnson Vivian of
Laurium, who has just arrived home
from trip to the West Indies ana
the Panama canal, one of the things
which makes the biggest impression
on a copper country man, in the con-
ncction with the work on the big
ditch" is the number of drilling ma
chimes in use. There are about one
hundred machines in operation there,
the process being much the same as
copper mining. after the soil, or over
burden, has been removed. Railroad
tracks have been constructed right
along side of the workings and the
rock is hauled away by the trainlOad
There are about 10000 men now en-
ploSCd on the Panama canal job,
among whom are few copper country
men. Mr.. Vivian states that one of

CONTESTS FOR
MOTOR CYCLES
Special Events Planned for Laur-
ium Driving Park

The Laurium driving park may this
summer be converted into a motor cy-
Gle speedway. Motor cycle enthus-
lasts in the copper country are making
plans to conduct a series of races at
the park during the coming summer,
and will soon take the matter up with
the park directors. II is believed the
directors will look with favor ON the
plan
There is a growing interest in motor
cycling i'm the copper country, and last
summer steps were taken to form a
motor cycle club. The club confined
it's attention to long tours about the
copper country and pleasure parties.
Several of the copper country ma
chimes have made fast time ANA much
rivalry exists between the owners.
Those who have already been inter-
viewed on the subject of racing seem
TO be very enthusiastic, and will do
their utmost to promote the plan.
The Laurium park, with but little
preparation, would provide an ideal
motor cycle speedway and this fasci
mating sport might be provided for the
copper country at a small expense.
The activity Of the promoters will be
watched with interest.

PLAN TO LIMIT
TRAINING TRIPS
Suggestion They Should Start on
March | Result of Cost

Gulfport Miss, March 1.-THE
enormous expense of training trip
for a major league baseball team,
which amounts nowadays to $4,000 or
$4,000 annually, has given rise to a
suggestion that the major leagues pass
Il time limit rule on training.
1t has been recommended that no
club be allowed TO start systematic
training until March /. This would
cut down from one TO two weeks on
league club.
The efforts to win big league PEN
nants have led to cxtravagances for
pre- season work that would have
been considered ridiculous a few
years ago. Manager Jennings recalls
the year 1892, when only two clubs
out of the big leagues of that time.
the National league and the American
association, did any training in the
south. Now, even the minors send
their men to the warmer climate
weeks ahead of the seasons opening.
Before passing any such rule as
that suggested, the magnates would
like to see the players baseball fra
ternity make good on its threats to
ask for half pay during training sea-
son. They would then cut out the
training altogether, IL is said, and ask
the men to report in shape for work
at the beginning of the schedule.
The only way besides cutting out
the training season entirely by which
IT'S expense could he lesscned would
bc for all the clubs to agree on GER
tain limitations. If any one club
tried cutting down it's work and made
y poor showing, the owner of that
particular club would never hear the
last of his trying to economize and
the poor results he got from doing so.
