Richmond fans and the Portners,
here for the big double-header for
tho intercity championship sched-
uled for American League Park to.
day, are a disappointed lot. Up to
the last minute today it was thought
that the double-header between the
Portners and the Aggies would be
played.
President Robert H. Young, OF
the Washington Amateur Associa-
ton, and Secretary ]. r. Hooper, OF
the Richmond Baseball Commission
visited the park and found that
there was nothing doing today.
The Richmond president. Julien II
Hill arrived with a band OF virginia
rooters on the noon train from Hicn-
mond. The heads of the associations
met to decide just what was to be done
in regard to a future date.
r w, Payne, who Is the head Of the
portner team, was more than disap-
no,nted at the failure to stage today
games. The Portners LETT Richmono
early this morning and got In q about
o'clock and put up at the Hotel Har-
rington.
All of the Richmond rooters who came
with the team and the load which came
at noon were under the impression that
they would shake the city as soon as
possible and go home rather than re-
main over night.
1t was thought that a double-header
could be arranged tomorrow at one of
- al. 20 ~
fields here or on Monday at American
League Park. The Richmond team is
bearing its own expenses and did not
want to go away without some help
from the Washington end
John Berry. manager Of the Portners,
maintains he has a great team this sea-
son. ''rhe Portners have won fifteen
games and lost but one. That loss was
sustained in the post-season series with
pitchers in Dunn and Napier" said
the Richmond manager. "and they can
be expected to produce the goods here"
The Portners make no boast Of their
ability to play baseball. but are firmly
imbued with the idea that they can ably
uphold the reputation of the Richmond
amateurs.
1t Is not unlikely that an association
meeting will be held tonight. although
President Young was of the opinion that
the matter of dates could be satisfac-
torily arranged by correspondence.
The Aggies will profit by a lay-off to-
day as the pitching staff Is not in the
best Of shape. Lem owen pitched two
hard games last week resting but one
day between games. Jerry Nops was
Wild in his start on Friday and Hobby
Derrick's pitching has not been of the
caliber to win over the Richmond nine,
judging from reports from the Virginia
city.
The Portners are reputed to have some
httters of ability. Several of the play
ers boast averages we'll over the 300
ark and there are one or two who
have smashed out marks nearer 400.

Bridge C~ollapses.

For the second time the steel
bridge across Spring creek, about
two miles south of town, COL
lapsed 1t will be remembered
by our readers that about a month
ago, at the time when the cement
was being put in the floor, this
bridge went into the bed of the
creek, tearing the I-beams out of
the abutments and twisting the
stress iron up considerable.
1t was considered that the iron
was strong enough and all that
was necessary to make the bridge
secure would be to let the con-
crete set, as it was still very green
when the bridge went in the first
time. To that end the contractors,
Petry-Molton of Cheyenne, rebuilt
the bridge, adding to the stress
by supporting the bridge with
jacks aud chains, allowing the
concrete to thoroughly set. just
about the time the county was
ready to inspect the bridge it was
reported that the chains had been
stolen from it, and when the COM
missioners did look it over they
decided it was necessary to have
stronger trusting, which was ag-
reed upon by the contractors.
The first of the week the jacks
were taken in the same manner as
the chains and the bridge immed-
lately sank into the creek.
What action will be taken by
the contractors or county we do
not know. About all that the
contract called for was a so foot
steel span l6 foot wide, concrete
floor and to carry a load of $1,000
pounds. The bridge across Cow
is the same class of bridge by ten
feet shorter, but we presume when
tested it will perhaps go the way
OF the Spring creek bridge.

Under Land Laws Of o. s.

Inn, r. SO w was released for
sntry Monday and is now subject
10 entry under the land laws of
,be United States. Last week
several papers published the fact
that the French creek segregation
would he open but this was in er-
,or, and instead it should have
been Segregation No. 30, just east
Of Saratoga.
List No. 30 is covered by what
is known as the Fitzgerald ditch,
taking water from French and
Brush creek. These lands as re-
leased by legal subdivision are on
file in this office for those who
care 10 examine same. 1t would,
perhaps, be safe to say that these
lands lay between Cedar creek on
the south and Lake creek on the
north; from within a mile east of
Saratoga to the Watt ra ch on
the east side; comprising some of
the best land in the valley.
What the cost of water rights
will be we cannot say at this time
but we presume that MI Fitzger-
aid and his company will make it
as reasonable in price as possible,
in payments that can be handled
easily by those who make entry.

Theodore P. Henkell, William W.
Hughes and John A. Jones.
With the absolute guarantee of
stability and strength as afforded
by the Wyoming state laws, and
with the liberal policies offered by
these local companies there would
appear no logical reason why any
prospect of insurance should not
enthusiastically support this CON-
pany, in view of their pledge to
relnvest their premium income in
the district that has contributed
1t. The large volume of business
being written by the German Am
erican Life Insurance company in
this district will testify to the
spirit of loyalty to this institution.
The phenomenal growth of the
German-American Life Insurance
company and the increased bust
ness written last year bids fair to
be outdone this year. The pres
ent indications are that the $1,000,
600 mark will be reached for the
year 1915.

Successful Home Industry.

SeS~SssA.A AASAAAS
The annual report of the Insur-
ance department of the various
states brings to light several en-
coursRing facts relative to the
growth of life insurance compaD-
les of the west. Since the date of
the insurance investigation of
1906 the giant companies of the
east have lost three hundred mil
lion of dollars in annual produc-
ton, while the young companies
have gained six hundred millions
of business during this period.
Something of the importance of
encouraging these western COM
panies is indicated when we know
that Wyoming has during the
past thirty years sent to foreign
companies many dollars in life
insurance premiums. That the
citizens of Wyoming appreciate
the value of retaining these vast
sums within their own borders for
home developments is we'll indi-
Gated in a pamphlet recently pub
llshed by The German-American
Life Insurance company of Den
yer in which letters are given
from the leading bankers of prac-
tcally every section of Colorado
and Wyoming heartily endorsing
this companies and it's plans.
These letters call attention to
the fact that the Wyoming state
law compels the deposition with
the State Insurance department
OF an amount sufficient to protect
every guarantee contained in the
policy, which insures absolute sta
bility.
Fifty letters from prominent
bankers are included in this book.
let and this hearty support from
Leading inanciers has had a most
important influence in enabling
the German-American Life Insur-
Hhce company to reach rank num-
oeI hve in production of business
IN the State of Colorado last year
This tremendous increase in bust
ness proves very conclusively that
the policies issued by the German
American Life Insurance compa-
ny are meeting the needs and re-
qrlrements of the people of Col

Conservation PROGRAM.

Whether the so-called "conser-
walton" program, so vigorously ad-
vocated by the administration last
congress, will be brought forward
this time, is still a matter of spec
ulstion. Some insist it will be
pushed with the same vigor by
the administration; others say it
will not be reached. Certain it is
that the administration has many
serious problems confronting it
of which revenue is a big item
which must be settled before the
conservation program can be TAX
an up. With the small majority
in the House, it is certain the
ideas of Secretary Lane must I'M
dergo more or less revision before
enactment by that body, while
the Senate is an unknown quanti-
ty as yet as far as public land
matters go. Largely through the
efforts of Senator Clark last con-
gress, public land HARM
full to the west were either mater
tally changed or prevented from
enactment-and the Senator must
be- recoked with this time when
such measures reach the senate
Senator Clark's position on the
Public Lands committee on tina
body, together with his long ex,
perience and we'll known ability
to put up a game fight in opposi
ton TO measures harmful to hi
state and the west generally, will
lin the present congress as il
the last-have much to do towar,
shaping final action on all publ
land legislation.
