to whack up percentage with the owner
of the land. Also, the government would
holler for share. So his plan is to keep
mum, buy up the island, then charter q
big yacht and cruise down there casually,
disguised as tourist. Once at the island,
he could let on to break propeller shaft
or something, and sneak. ashore after the
gold and stuff at night when the crew was
asleep.
The Cap explains that to do it right
would take more cash than hecould raise.
Hence his proposition for lettin' in Mr..
Robert to finance the expedition. No,
he didn't know Mr.. Robert personally,
but he'd heard lot about him in one way
or another, and understood he was gen.

name of this island was?"
II didn't say says Rupert. II can
tell you the old Spanish name, however,
which no one on the west coast seems to
know. 1t is Nunca Secos Key-meaning
the key that is never dry"

This partial lifting of the ban is

THE WORLD DO MOVE

After considerable debate, says the
Billings Gazette, the leaders of the
Methodist Episcopal church have de-
cided to modify the rule, as old as
Methodism itself, which made card
playing, dancing or. theater going war
rant for expulsion from the church.
Methodists may now indulge in these
diversions and remain in good stand
ing, although officially the church does
not approve of them.
No mad rush to try these long for
hidden amusements, will follow the
action of the church authorities, for
millions of 'Methodists, following the

According to North Dakota papers
thousands of acres of grain will have
to be re-seeded on account of the ter
rife dust storms which have been
sweeping that state this spring. While
it is truly a little hard to rave about
the weather we have been having dur
ing the past few weeks, still we are
a great deal more fortunate than the
North Dakota people, not to say any
thing of the southwestern states where
storms have swept away whole towns
and caused loss of life and enormous
losses in property. Montana looks
good to us.

MORE WATCHFUL WAITING

It seems to be the habit of men,

then forget their contents. Many
months ago Admiral Fiske wrote an

tary Daniels, who read it, had it filed

nation that a. national organization
of chemists made careful compila-
ton of facts showing that dye in
dustry in this country could, upon a
weeks notice, be transformed into an
explosive factory with capacity Of
10000 shells a day. These facts were
submitted to President Wilson, hand

they were handed to bureau chief

Notes of the Game

Thrasher went in to bat for Thom-
as in the eighth. In this inning Hers:
from and Jobst had singled, and with
two out the big fellow took couple
of healthys at the pill but the jumps
called the third one, which looked to
be wide.
Dana Easton was the heaviest loser
Of the day. Fred Fischl carried ten
cents of his hard earned coin back
to Glasgow.
"Nugget", the mascot, was evident
ly afraid of being scalped, as he was
averse to taking his cap off to show
his ruddy locks. "Them Injuns get
my goat, was Reds explanation Of
his quietness during the game.
AL Herstrom almost had stolen
base. In the third he was called out
at third when it looked to the Glasgow
bench as though he had the throw
beaten.
Bretzke kept up his hitting stride
by getting a single in four times up.
LOUIS average is still 500.
Hurry connected for safe bingle
in the third that started the scoring.
In his other trips to the plate he came
near connecting.
Manager Fischl was sorely grieved
over the decisions of friend Umpire,
but he had a smile a mile wide after
the game.

Four years ago, the Bull Moose
vote in Nebraska was $4,000. Two
years later it was 5000 and at the re-
cent primaries in Nebraska, with eight
counties to hear from, about 100 Pro-
gressive votes were cast. This seems
to indicate that the Progressives are
dissolving into their original ele-
ments. This impression is confirmed
by the result Of the recent SPECIAL elec-
ton for member of the House of
Representatives, to fill vacancy in
the second district of West Virginia,
which for six years has been Demo-
cratic: George M. Bowers, Repub-
1ican. who was defeated in 1914 by
a plurality Of 1850 votes, was elected
at the special election by plurality
of over 700. In 1914, the Progressive
nominee polled 1850 votes. This year
the party largely supported Mr.. Bow
ers. Colonel Roosevelt wrote a let
