The Fabled Bridge of the Gods

The famous Indian legend, which
made the foundation on which F, H
Balhh laid his wonderful story, The
Bridge OF the Gods, may be disprov,
ed by scientific study
In the preface to his book. Mt
Balch says. 1t may be asked If there
was ever a great natural bridge over
the Columbia such as the legend de.
scribes The answer Is emphatically
yes Everywhere along the mid-Co-
lumbla the Indians tell of great
bridge that once spanped the river
where the cascades now are, but
where at that time the placed current
flowed under an arch Of stone; Eat
this bridge was built by the gods;
that the Great Spirit shook the earth
and the bridge crashed down into
the river, forming the present obstruc-
tIon Of the cascades All OF the Co
lumbia tribes tell this story in dif-
ferent versions and in different dia-
lects, but all agreeing upon its es-
senial features as one Of the great
facts Of their past history"
The oregon bureau OF mines and
geology is conducting a comprehen-
sive study Of the Columbia river
gorge. The results OF the work will
be embodied in a bulletin to be pub
lished this fall

Aren't you 0bout ready to

Fatnas are a SENSIBLE
cigarette inasmuch as they
are always cool and comfort
able to the throat and tongue.
And they allow you to smoke
as you like to smoke

 Of the letter men of last fall, six are now numbered among the squad. They are Halfback Kemp, Linesmen Adams Randall, Grieg and Heuman, and End Wilbur Adams The Adams brothers were the only ones to play regularly.
 As in past years the line presents the greatest problem to the coach. Backs and ends of some experience are coming to light each day, but the sup ply of forwards has proven meager. [ An examination of the personnel of the squad shows a wealth of untried material Among those trying out for the baclfield are Rapp, Nims and Les lie Eastman of last years freshmen. All showed good as yearlings. Kemp in several of the contests last fall, be- sing kept out the rest of the time by a bad knee He is showing better form than ever before.

MANY QUERIES
 IN ROAD RACE

Entries will begin coming in soon for the Douglas Phoenix road race, according to Secretary Tom Shaugh- messy Of the state fair commission, who expects the sanction from the A A. A. daily. The arrival of this important document will enable the promoters to print the entry blanks for which there have been a flood of inquiries.
 It was announced yesterday that the entry fee of s25 per car would be added to the purse. This ought to bring the prize money up within reasonable shooting distance for the amateur racing drivers of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The split will be three ways, 50, 8 and 15 per cent
 Dick Hollingsworth, who arranged for the Arizona fair to remain in the fold o. the American Automobile as sociation this year, writes from Doug las that the fans there have taken hold, and will do business in the old time way. His honor. the mayor of Douglas will act as starter of the race, which will be run in one cay, No- vember 13
 Most of the inquiries concerning the road race are accompanied by re- quest for data on the track racing, which will end the fair on Novem- her IS.

COLORADO l GRID
 SQUAD IN ACTION
GRepublican A. P. Leased Wirel

BOULDER, Colo, Sept. 24.-With the second week of school in progress and the University of Colorado foot ball squad recruited to nearly war strength, preliminaries have been dropped by M. c. Evans, the new coach and each afternoon sees thirty huskies going through a real sweat producing workout.
 That peculiar affliction of the mus cles known as Charley Horse, which is the real harbinger of the football season, is making it's appearance and halty, limping walks are quite the style among the elite of the squad.
 Things are beginning to look up,' Evans said, in discussing the situation. "The best material in school is not on the football field, and Uncle Sam has been slow to respond to the s. o. S. of our generals for the transfer to our ranks of several of our best fight ing men, but we are doing business just the same, and nobody is crabbing.'
 If this fellow Evans worked as hard when playing as he is now working us, I do not wonder that he made a repu- tatiOn at this football stuff" said one of the squad today
 The squad shows a decrease in num- bers over last year. At this time of

Boston, besides meeting Philadelphia, plays PittsburS- at home in double headers on September 25 and 26, and plays New York on September 2S (two games), 29 and 30 (two games).
 The schedule permits Brooklyn to play all it's remaining games at home. Boston may have some advantage in the greater number of games, but as there are six double headers and only , .hree single games, the going may prove rough for the Boston team. who, unless they brace suddenly, are in dan ger of losing third place to New York, which is closer to Boston than Boston 1 is to Brooklyn.
