league are Sioux Falls, Brookings.
Watertown, Aberdeen, Huron, Nit
chell, Pipe Stone, Mimi, and Luz
verne, MINI.
A bill that is before the legisla-
lature effecting Sunday games in
regard to an admission fee will have
a strong bearing on the success of
the undertaking.
The league season will probably
include from 30 to 100 games for
each club. the season to last at least
three months. There has been con-
siderable talk of placing the salary
limit at 81 200 a month for a team,
each team to have twelve men, in.
GLIDING a manager player. and each
member of the league 10 put up a
bond of $500 to insure that the sea-
son be completed.

INDIANS CORNERED
BY UTAH POSSE
An Echo of Pioneer Days Fifty
Years Ago -.

Denver, Col, Feb. 22:-Advices
from Grayson, Utah. by telephone
to Dolores, Col, today stated that
the band Of Piute Indians, under
Use. Ne-Gat, which fought a desper-
ate battle yesterday with a posse
commanded by United States Mar
shall Aqulla Nebeker, had been sur.
rounded in Cottonwood gulch, near
Bluff. Leaders of the reinforced
posse expected to renew the attack
unless the Indians surrendered.
The telephone line from Grayson
to Bluff has been out of commission
much of the time since early last
evening, and details of the situation
r difficult to obtain. The whites
have been reinforced by bands Of
armed men focking from the near
by settlements and ranches. 1t
is said the posse, outnumber 81 to 26
yesterday is stronger today than
the band Of Indians.
1t was believed that both the or
iginal party of redskins with Tse-
Ne Cat and the detachment known
as Posey's band, which came to the
relief of Tse-Ne Cat after the battle
began Yesterday. had been cornered
in Cottonwood gulch, following the
most desperate Indian fighting since
that against Sitting Bull at Wound.

Farmers Swindled

From different parts of the country
come stories of a swindle successful

they were going to get cheap gro
ceries. Two smooth stangers went
through the communities taking
orders for a house in Chicago. pre-
tending to sell a standard brand of
sugar and flour so cbeaply that every
farmer visited took from $40 to $50
worth, and other things besides.
Because of the low prices the -four

community the swindlers picked up
some $1,000 and no groceries deliver

What is the Reason

Minneapolis Journal.--When Pres.
ident Wilson switched the fight on
the ship purchase bill from the SEN
ate to the House. the idea was that
the passage of the bill in the lower
House would show that public opin.
ion was behind the measure. But,
in spite of the well trained alacrity
of the Democratic congressman in
obeying the orders of the White
House. the people are usually well
informed as to the underlying rea-
son for and against important ligis-
lation.
The n question the American
people would like to have answered
is the same that the opposition Sem
ators ask. 1t is this: Why is the
Administration so opposed to the
specific prohibition Of the purchase
Of belligerent interned ships? An
ultimatum has been issued by the
Democratic insurgents in the Senate
that, unless the bill contains an alb
solute prohibition of this nature. no
vote will be permitted in the Sem
ate. No other concessions, regard.
less of their character, will swerye
the Republicans; for they. too,
stand firm that no ships must be
bought from any belligerent.
The common report is that certain
interests in New York have obtain
ed options on these foriegn-owned
vessels. Or have made loans upon
them since the war began. Senator
Burton says these ships, now detain-
ed in American ports, represent an
investment of a hundred and twenty
five million dollars. But if we are
to buy a quarrel with every ship.
as Senator Root put it, why must
W. also incur international compli-
cations with each bill of sale?

Optimism vs.. OsIeriSm

1t has often been said that a man
Is not older than he feels, and a
woman no older than she looks, and
the following statistics from one Ct
the most learned men of the country
gives color to the statement. Prof.
E. r. RYAN of Coledale university
says that out of 600 Of the old
worlds greatest scientists, states
men and famous men, it was found
that 8 per cent accomplished their
worlds work before the age of 40
years; 10 per cent between 40 and
so years of age; 20 per cent between
80 and 60 years of age; 81 per cent
between 60 and 70 years of age; q
per cent between 20 and 80 years;
and 9 per cent after they had reach
ed the age Of 80 years. He added,
however. that the period of youth
was the time TO lay IN store knowl
edge FOR the future.
These statistics are encouraging,
as they go to prove that the mind
does not grow old with the passing
of years, but rIpens into richer fruit
age.
Cheer up, ye octogenarians: the
second mstallment of "Locksley
Hail. was written when the author
was past 80;
In the springtime Of life we do the
planting, in middle life the cultivat-
ing, in after years we reap the gold
en- harvest. This is natures rIan
and nature makes no mistakes.
II is only when we go contrary to
natural law that we reap the
wrong kind Of harvest. WHY
permit the imaginary infrmities of
increasing years to dominate the
ambitious spirit? Who dares to
place limitations around the achieve
ments of the tireless, indomitable in
intellect of man?
Aim high, work hard for the ac-
complishment of your purpose, and
you will forget the fight of years in
the frultion of hope. If we would
strive to grow wiser and better, in
stead of older and fault. finding what
a sunny old world we would make of
this vale of tears!''-J. Waldo
Smith in Rocky Mountain News.

GERMANS OPEN
BLOCKADE
Submarine Now Playing Import
ant Part i'm Worlds Greatest
War

London. Feb. 22--The wasp of
modern warfare, the Submarine, by
the means of which Germany has de-
clared that she will blockade Britain,
daily becomes the factor of greatest
Importance in the War. with regard
to its influence on the nations en-
gagged in connection with the con.
traband question.
Coincident reports that Austria
proposes to follow the example of
ally by attacking the merchantmen
in the Adriatic came in the an
nouncement by Premier Asquith
that the tentative retaliatory plan of
England was much broader IN scope
than was previously suggested. 1t
is now a matter for the consideration
Of all of the allies.
1t was stated in the house of com
mons that Great Britain might deem
il necessary to alter her decision
whereby cotton had not been classed
as contraband.
Three small British craft are miss.
ing.
Amsterdam reports that two Ger
man submarines are overdue at their
base at Cuxhaven and that their
fate is unknown. Traffic in the
North sea, owing to the menace
from both submarines and mines, is
stopped.
The Russian version of their re-
treat oyer the East Prussian from
tier is that the Russians fell back in
orderly fashion and that the fight
ing was effective in the real guard
action.
Against this the Germans claim
100000 prisoners and a staggering
array of captured munitions of war.
Berlin says 1.-The pursuit has come
to an end" British observers say
that this means that the costly Ger.
man rush has fallen short.
The armies of Austria and Russia
are still contesting the passageway
Of the Carpathians.
There is nothing important in the
western, conflicting reports.
An Amsterdam dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company says
that the German frontier reports
state that much uneasiness exists
at the fortified port of Cuxhaven re-
garding the two large submarines
that have not returned to then
base. The under sea boats are said
to be two days overdue and it is
feared that they have been de.
stroyed.
