PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE
 WILL HAVE FOUR TEAMS

SEATTLE, April 18.-The Pacific Coast International League, formerly the Northwest League, will be cut from six to four clubs, Robert Blewett of Seattle, president of the league, has asserted. BleWett made the state ment, he said, in answer to rumors that the league will be reduced in size because it is very probable it will have no Montana representation this year.
 Last year Butte and Great Falls had teams in the league. Because of lack of support and the high cost of the long railroad jump, Great Falls has already dropped from the rolls. Blew cit predicts Butte will be dropped fol the same reason.
 Portland, Ore, will replace one O. the Montana clubs, and from present indications Vancouver, Wash, will re place the other. Reports received here from southern Washington sait 
 Vancouver was seriously considering applying for a berth. AS Vancouver i is just across the Columbia river from Portland. and as grounds are reporte' hard to find in the suburbs, all O. Vancouvers home games may bt played in Portland, thus giving th' Oregon metropolis continuous base ball.
 The other teams in the league vii be Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane anC Vancouver, B. c. Games will be playe regularly at Camp Lewis, Tacoma The league directors meet here 500 to make their final plans and arrange their schedule.

WRITING
 BEING TAUGHT

LONDON, April 18.-SeveraI Lon- don schools have introduced a new system of writing known as ''manu- script" or print" writing, which re- places the former vertical or Spen- cerian systems. In the new system the children initiate the forms of printed characters, and, it is claimed, the task of learning to write legibly is greatly shortened and simplified by the leaving out of the unnecessary connecting upstrokes.
 The new system was first introduced in military establishments by cOnVa- lescent soldiers, originating in the de- sire to find a method of writing which could be quickly learned by soldiers who had lost the use of their right hands. Its advocates claim that the print" writing is easy to learn, neat, legible and speedy, and that it re- moves the great disadvantage of two kinds of letters with which the child has to contend in learning to read and to write.
 In a pamphlet issued by the Child Study Society of London, pr, L. c. Kimmins, chief inspector of the Lon don education department, calls the new system "the writing of the fu- ture."

HUN SPY PROPAGANDA

Almost unbelievable are the ac-
tivities Of the German propaganda.
Thousands Of German spies have en-
deavored to undermine national
unity and divide the nation to i'm
pede the mobilization of its re-
sources for war They have destroy
cd property and taken life-but their
most effective work has been done
along lines never before practiced by
nation calling itself civilized-the
systematic effort to introduce deadly
maladies that slaughter the victims
and cripple future generations. For
this purpose Germany has prosti-
tuted science to curse humanity.
A couple Of years ago it was proved
that the Germans dropped candy
from airships. tainted with germs
that infected children and spread the
plague in Rumania. Walls Of cul-
lures we're found buried in the Ger
man embassy which were to be used
to infect the livestock OF the coun-
try and through them, the people.
Infected and poisoned candy has
frequently been dropped upon
French villages.
The war was evidently the signal
for the creation Of great German
army for the spread Of disease.
which operated not only among bel
ligerents, but among neutrals and
wherever the Hun could reap ad-
vantage through decreasing the food
stuffs or supplies Of the allies.
United States secret service agents
are authority for the statement that
the sudden and startling increase in
the number Of illnesses and deaths
from anthrax in the United States in
the closing months Of 1915 and early
in 1916--the "hoof and mouth" ep-
idemic-has been traced to German
agents. Anthrax in man is identical
with anthrax in animals, and the d.
sease appeared all at once in widely
separated sections of America

A correspondent sends me a story
which Is a good parallel (or. rather,
the exact opposite Of a parallel) to
that of the minister who prayed in
Gaelic.
There was In Dublin an old lady
both eccentric and devout. One day
she sent for Jewish minister, and
started to learn Hebrew most assid-
uously. Though she was eccentric,
and her friends were rarely surprised
at anything she chose to do, they
did wonder at this, and asked her the
reason.

GERMANS CHECKED IN
ALL BUT ONE SECTOR

London. Mar. S0.--After eight
days, during which 1t has swept for
ward over the rolling hills Of Picar-
dy. at times like tidal wave, the
German offensive has slowed down.
Instead OF a sweeping advance. = its
progress has been checked at all but
one sector Of the front. and there II
has been merely creeping for the last
two days-this fact even admitted
by the German war Office, which us
ually comedies nothing.
From Arleux. north OF Arras. to
Albert, on the Somme river, the
British lines have been holding stub
bornly and have thrust back the
Germans at number Of points.
From Albert south to Montdidier.
there has been a slow movement to
the west, but the hills west Of Mont
didier are still being held by the
French. No ground has been made
against the French along the south
ern side Of the salient driven into
the allied lines. while II Is asserted
that the French counter-attack from
Lassigny to Noyon is still going on.
The extreme depth Of the German
wedge now is about 81 miles.

the respective communities thought
it worth while to hurry up the road
work by doing the hauling them
selves. The road would have to be
|properly graded, and the top Scared
and the gravel narrowed in, SO the
general plan of the work and the
results would conform to the rest of
the plan and not have to be done
over. Farmers might wish to join
forces and fix certain stretches of
road that were soft or sandy, like
the spot in the Rich lane east Of
Blackfoot Sugar Factory, the spongy
places in the Sterling district con-
Meeting with the beet dump or the
sand-mud lane east of Basalt, and
the use of the graveled road a year
or two sooner might be worth the
effort.
In the next chapter will be given
the plans for the second years work
with the road gangs, and it will sat
isfy good many people who will
probably have been protesting
against what has already been done
and the time it has been done as out
lined in this chapter.
