NORTH STAR COLLEGE
DEFEATS ADA HI. S.

The speedy quint Of collegian bas-
ket shooters met the fast Ada High
school squad at!the college gymnas-
iun1, Saturday evening, and defeated
the visitors by score Of % to 16.
The college team, which started out
early in the season by being defeat
led by the Stephen High school team,
showed remarkable development
under the persistent coaching of H.
&c. Anderson. In fact they showed
such an improvement that one could
hardly recognize them as the same
team which suffered defeat at the
hands Of the Stephenites.
The game Saturday was one of
the closest and best exhibitions of
basket ball ever witnessed in this
city for several seasons and with the
excellent material that the college
now has, assures the basket ball
fans Of this city some contests of
professional nature.
In the first half, which was the
hottest and most bitterly fought, Ada
managed to run up the greatest
number Of scores and the result
was IL to 9 in their favor.
In the second half the college boys
played more of an open game and
went in to win even though their
opponents had the lead on them by
"a few points. In this period of the
game the college boys gave fine
exhibition of team work and run up
IA points to Ada's 4. This made the
total score % to 16 in favor of the
college.
For North Star College, Pihlstrom
as center did the stellar work and
proved to be the life of the whole
game, while Sinclair and Henne-
brey, as forwards, played in style
that bore the aroma of profession
alism. johnson and Lodoen, whose
excellent work as guards at many
periods Of the game, prevented the
Adaites from scoring.
1 The Ada boys, though defeated,
took it good naturedly and acted the
part of gentlemen. They were
coached by S. L. Kaldem, who offci-
ated as referee during the game.
The visitors quoted themselves as
well pleased with the treatment, that
they received while here and were
surprised to find college housed in
such a modern building as far. north
as Warren. The college boys will
play asreturn game at Ada on March
fourth, when Ada will endeavor to
turn the tables.

Good Glass of Farmers Arrive.

The Pioneer Land and Loan COM
pany has been instrumental In Sc
curing two very desirable families
from the southern part of the state
for Warren's trading territory.
Emil Osberg and family moved in
Monday with their farm goods and
have taken up their residence on the
north east quarter Of section II, in
town Of Farley. Mr.. Osberg is a
farmer of the best class and will be
a valuable asset to the Farley neigh
borhood. r. J. Forstrom has bought
the south east quarter of section 13,
which is the old O. B. Nelson farm
and has moved his household goods
there.
With both these wide awake ag-
riculturalists an important addition
has been made to the already intelli-
gent class of farmers who do their
marketing in this city.

Where Home Merchants Know How
to Advertise, They Shun Town.

It is said that some of the mail or
.der houses employ clipper bureau
to furnish them with the names of
weekly newspapers that carry an un-
usually large amount Of local adver-
tising so that they can save on post
age, according to the Walker Pilot.
Sending catalogs to people in town
where merchants are live advertisers
has about the same effect as a coun-
try editor sending subscription
statement to dead delinquent sub

Spanish Race Course May Spell
 FiniS for Bull Fighting

Correspondence of the Asso. Press. )
 San Sebastian, Spain, July S.-Bul1 fighters and their partisans look s,skance at a luxurious new establish r3ent just completed here, where thoroughbred horses will soon begin racing on a scale hitherto unknown in Spain.
 The race course has all modern inn provements and with grandstands that rival those of Longchamps and Au- teuil near Paris. Alfonso KILT. has not only sanctioned the enterprise but has given it vogue by acquiring a stable of thoroughbreds himself; some of his horses may make their debuts at the meeting which opens July 2 and will continue until October 1.
 The more emotional and more con- servative see in the Kings encourage ment of horse racing the prelude to a radical step in the modernizing of Spain-the eventful abandonment of the bull fight out of regard for the sentiments of visitors from countries where it is not looked upon as sport.
 Others see in it simply a timely and enterprising project in the Spanish effort to encourage touring on the peninsula.
 Spain has shown a remarkable burst of energy since the war began with King Alfonso setting the example. He has accorded special facilities to companies and capitalists for the building of hotels at favorable points, such as Seville, Cadiz and Al geciras.
 The city of Barcelona is organizing a systematic movement with a view to attra cting American visitors tC that part of the Mediterranean coast Financial aid to hotels and other en- cCuragem ent to prom Oters of improve n1ents in coast resorts are to be given and it is intended to do everything necessary to create a popular winter retreat on the Spanish coast from where cruises may be made to the Balearic Islands.
 The extension Of horse racing here. tCfOre absolutely neglected in Spain is 9 part of this movement and does not at all mean that bull fighting will be superseded by it. The national sport will go on IS long as there are crowds to witness it, probably. It all depends on what taste the Spaniards develop for the horses.
 The idea is to profit from the Taralysis of racing in France and Bel gium to draw Spain's great sea resort the big-spending owners of thorough breds and the free livers that follow racing wherever it is
 A twenty thousand dollar stake for the opening day indicates the earnest ness of the enterprise
 Among the stables represented are three American owners, w. K. Van derbilt with 30 of the 60 horses he has In training at St. Louis de Poissy Jefferson Davis COhn with about the same number and P. T. Thorne with a dozen or so. Only ten French owners are represented.

 IN MEx|CO'S SIDE
YaQuiS Good Fighting Men and
 Soldiers Desire No Battle

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico, July H. Reports from outlying districts indi- cate renewed activity on the part of the Yaqui Indians. This has been an-
 ticipated by those familiar with condi- tions in Sonora because the campaign inaugurated by the de facto govern
 ment in January for the purpose of ridding the country of the Yaquis has not as yet been a success.
 Approximately 1000 troops were
 mobilized under General Dieguez to drive the Indians from their strong holds in the Bacatetebe mountains, but the soldiers were poorly equipped
 for the undertaking. They lacked dis cipline, organization and spirit, and although the Mexican government may have desired an aggressive cam paign the local leaders and men had no intention of taking the offensive against the savages, whose fighting ability is well known throughout the republic. Like the Apache tribes of Arizona, the Yaquis have committed the most fiendish atrocities. For this reason the troops fear to operate against the warriors.
 4,OOO Are We'll Armed.
 The strength of the Indians is not accurately known, but is estimated as 1 being about 10000, of which approx | mately 4OOO are well armed fighting
 men. This force generally operates 1 in bands of fifty to one hundred or l more which make swift and unexpect- l ed raids upon outlying ranches and villages during the harvest season 1 and at other times, if their food sup ply happens to run low, as is the case
 at the present time. Spies are main ] tained throughout the farming dis
 tricts who keep the. tribe well in- l formed and assist in the raids.
 The Indians dress as do the peons
 with shirt and trousers of faded blue
 denim or khaki, usually the latter as
 it is more easily procurable, for many ] Yaquis have served in the revolution 1 ary armies. A large straw hat, not unlike that worn by northern farm
 ers with brim turned down, protects l ] identity when necessary; and their i feet are protected from the rough i country by leather sandals-guara- ] chOs, as they are called.
 Hard To Identify.
 This similarity of garb makes it diff 1 ficult even for MeXicans to dlst1n- i gulsh parties of Indians from troops 1 of the de factO government and as a 1 result bands have been able to enter 1 towns before their identity was dis
 covered. For example, the town of 1 SauZ, Sonora, was raided last year. l The inhabitants saw the mounted ! body approaching with trumpets 1 f1ourishing and drums ruffling, but it was thought that an expected detach- ! ment of troops was arriving. Not ! until the Indians were actually in the i town was it realized what had hap ] pened. Men, women and children
