BASKETBALL

Wildwood Defeats Its OId-Time Rival.
Cape May. The w. A. C. Showed
improvement in Playing the Game.
The Wildwood Athletic Club played
its second game Of the season last
Saturday night, and before a big crowd
showed they can play basketball by
defeating Cape May to the tune Of
20 to IL. In former years these teams
could make the fur fly the way they
battled for supremacy of the champ
ionship of Cape May County. The
crowd enjoyed the game, as it was
played in that old-timespirit-for
blood-but Wildwood came out on top.
Wildwood showed these boys how a
rough game can be played, by sweep
ing them off their feet. That's the
way to play; keep after them; don't
give them any rest; the box Office re-
ceipts will show how the public ap-
preciates fine playing of the game.
The preliminary was also a good
game. The Wildwood I'd team de-
feated the Cape May Juniors by the
score of "a to II.
Following is the lineup:

The Story of

NWX early history
Ne W. of California
@1T6NN which even
encircles the origin of the name.
About 1920 a Spanish love story
was published in which there
was an imaginary island In the
Far East called California. Some
fifteen years later a party OF
Spanish adventurers came upon
the peninsula which we now call
Lower California. Believing that
they had discovered a romantic
island similar to the one in the
novel, they called it California.
Later on, the territory to the
north became known as Alta
California or High California
and when it became a state, 1t
was accordingly called Call
fornia. The first settlers were
the franciscan monks who came
I'D from Mexico and established
missions, and many are the leg
ends woven around these pioneer
Padres. There shortly grew up
Mexican settlements around the
missions which the wonderful
climate and fertile soil pros
pered.
The government, while under
Mexican control, was more or
less independent, and at the out
hreak of the Mexican war, Fre-
mont. who was later defeated
for the presidency, occupied Cal
, tfornia. When peace was MADE
in 1848, California became uni
ted States territory. That same
yea gold was discovered In Inc
Sacramento Valley and the rush
of people to California began
The population grew so rapidly
that in 1850 California was ad-
! mitted as the thirty-first state
of the Union. With It's 1oo,29t
square miles, it is the largest
| state except Texas. Politically
ITS power has been rapidly grow
ing. California now has thirteen
presidential electors.

GATHER IN
STRAY CATTLE

The dangerous nuisance of permit
ting stray horses and cattle to run
at large on the main travelled high
ways in Bear Lake county continues
to jeopardise the safety of automo o.
bile travellers. Stray tnimals can be
found on the roads in almost every
part of the county, and it is nothing
short of an imposition on tho travel
ing pubic that their safety should be
thus abused by careless men who fail
TO observe the saws in regard to stray
ANNALS.
An animal can walk out from the
side of the road at night without be
ing detected until the car is right
onto the animal, and narrow escapes
from serious smash-ups are almost
nightly occurrences. A collision over
near st. Charles the other night cost
the driver badly damaged car, and
perhaps a valuable animal was either
killed or crippled through tho i'm,
pact. 1t is about time the estray

badly damaged, one car was entirely
destroyed. The other cars were
biistered before they could be re-
moved. The entire block was threet-
ened by the oil tank which contain
ed three hundred gallons of gasoline.
1t was removed. however, before an

Under the present system all the
schools of tho state are closed for
one week beginning with the sixth
week of school, Just at the time the
children are getting interested in
their work. Then tho teachers of
a certain number of counties are
compelled to attend institute in a
given place for one week. The ex-
pense attached to the system to Bear
Lake county teachers, who have al
ways been compelled to travel long
distance to these meetings, is placed
conservatively at $4,000 for rail-
