NO GAJWE WITH STANFORD
PALO Al -TO ELEVEN WILL MEET
3IIC HIGAN IX PASADENA.
Multnorua 1' Overtures to Berkeley
AIho F ill Reliance May Coiae
North for Holiday Contest.
The East a nd the "West -will match their
football strc ngth on New Year's day,
-when the el even of the University of
Michigan anc Lcland Stanford, Jr., Uni
versity play In Pasadena, Cal. Just
what the outcome of the game will, be Is
very dllticult to determine, but It Is safe
to predict a royal exhibition of sport be
tween two of America's greatest colleges.
The Michigan team, under the able coach
ing of F. H. Yost, won the Middle West
championship this season, scoring 601
points against nothing for their opponents.
The teacn is anc of the strongest in the
country, but it is thought that Stanford
will give the "Wolverines a hard game,
for the cardinal eleven is as strong aa
any on the Coast today. In fact, the
closeness of the score iu the big game
with California tci,.uies to this. In 1S34
the University of Chicago team came
"West and played Stanford, each team
winning a game, and in 1KB Carlyle beat
California 2 to 0 in San Francisco. That
tho men from the Pacilic Coast are able
to vlay in any company has often been
demonstrated, and the Palo Alto team
will certainly call forth the best efforts
of their opponents.
The .rose fiesta begins at Pasadena Jan
uary 1, and it is under the auspices of this
ur.ierta.klng that the great football game
will be played. Captain Ralph Fisher is
hard at work, getting his men Into shape
f.r the same. A curious fact about both
c"tvens is that their right halfbacks are
Oregon boys. Ralph S. Fisher, captain
and right halfback, lives at The Dalles,
and Martin Heston, Michigan's wonderful
halfback, hails from Grant's Pass.
The University of "Washington football
men are anxious for a return game with
the Washington. Agricultural College, and
have made a. proposition to play on
Christmas day, in Seattle. Early in the
season the Agricultural College men de
feated "Washington by a score of 12 to
0, but the Seattle men think they can
avenge the memory of this defeat. It is
quite likely that "Wright will coach the
University of Washington again next
year, as the athletic affairs of that in
stitution are likely to be straightened out,
now that Brlghtman has left and has
taken his unsportsmanlike policy with
him.
The University of California track team
will make a tour of the East next
Spring, and the prospects of winning over
some of the big Eastern Universities are
most flattering. In Cadogan, Service, Hus
tey and Plaw, Berkeley has some of the
"best track athletes in the country, men who
can perform in any company. It was only
the hardest kind of luck that lost Berke
ley several of the big meets when the
team went East In 1900, and now that
Christie has taken charge of the training,
the California athletes will go into the
Eastern meets fully prepared to compete
with the best athletes in the country.
Manager De Cato, of the University of
California football team, has sent word
to the Multnomah Club officials, saying
that Berkeley has arranged for a holiday
game In Los Angeles, and that the north
ern trip will have to "be abandoned. How
ever, Manager Buckenmeyer has plenty of
applications for games, both on Christmas
and New Year's day, and it is certain that
two or three more matches will be ar
ranged. The Reliance" Athletic Club ex
pects to come North during the Holidays,
and the Multnomah men are anxious to
tackle the Oaklanders. It is possible that
Stanford may be induced to come to Port
land on Christmas day, although the
cardinal team is scheduled to meet Michi
gan at Pasadena January X. No reply has
yet been received from Pullman, but If
a game is arranged, Multnomah will have
to face the heaviest and one of the best
college teams in the entire Northwest.
Applications for games with Multnpmah
have been received from Heppner, the
Eugene Military Club and the Capital
Athletic Club. All of these teams are
strong ones, and any one of them would
give Multnomah a hard tussle. The Eu
gene Military Club team contains a num
ber of ex-college stars, including Coleman
and Edmunson, formerly of the University
of Oregon. The team Is a very heavy
one, averaging no less than 180 pounds
to tho man.
George Mafquis, the well-known base
ball player, has returned to Whitman Col
lege. Fred D. Chesnut, '02, has been elected
captain of the University of Washington
track team for the coming season.
Football Is very popular in Eastern Ore
gon this year, nearly every town of any
Importance possessing a team. All the
Eastern Oregon high schools have had
good teams In the field this year, chief
among them being that of Baker City.

SIX-DAY BICYCLE RACE.
Waltnonr Sllprhtly in tlie Lead After
Two Hour' Riding.
NEW YORK. Dec 8. The annual In
ternational six-day bicycle team race be
gan in the Madison-Square Garden at
midnight (Sunday). When "Young Cor
bett" started the men there were about
S0O0 people in the Garden. . The prize
money will be divided as follows: First,
$1500; second. $1000; third, $750; fourth,
$500; fifth, $350 and sixth. $230. Each man
of a team will ride 12 hours a day.
"Bobby" Walthour and Archie McEach
ern, of the Pan-American team, and the
French pair, Gougoltz and Samar, are out
to lower the record made in Madison
Square Garden in 1899 by Miller and Wal
ler, when that team covered 2733 miles and
four laps. Last year Elks and McFar
land won the six-day race after riding 2628
miles and seven laps. The Swedish team,
Furtos and Peterson, failed to qualify
and withdrew from the race.
The start was delayed until after mid
night while Jimmy Michael rode an ex
hibition "mile to motor pace, in 1:47. At
12:11 A. M., the starting shot was fired.
Hall, Dougoltz and Freeman led across
the tape by a fraction of an Inch, and
finished the first lap In the same order.
Hall fell back during the first mile, and
Freeman came to the front. Walthour
also came In and Hall fell back. The flr.t
mile was made In 2:27, with Freeman
leading, closely followed by Walthour,
who was trailed by Gougoltz. In the sec
ond lap of the second mile De Roeck, who
was riding high upon the steep bank, waJ
thrown and Injured slightly. His team
mate Kerlff, immediately took up the
race. Freeman held the lead at the end
of the fifth mile. Both Walthour and
Gougoltz had dropped back; Hall had
come up again, and followed Freeman
closely. Munro was in third place. "At
the end of the ninth mile Norcotte and
Jones, of Cleveland, withdrew. At 2
o'clock all the teams except two had made
48 miles and six laps. Walthour was
slightly in the lead.
CAREER OF YOUXG CORBETT.
He Has Xot Had an Unbroken Round
of Successes.
The pugilistic career of the hcw star
In the prize ring Armament, William
Rothwell, otherwise known as "Young
Corbett" has not been an unbroken
series of successes. He began to fight in
1SS7 in Denver, and has had very few en
gagements away from that city. He lost
fights to Billy Rotchford, "Young Jack"
Dempsey, Benny Yanger and Kid Broad.
He has steadily improved as he acquired
ring experience, and during the past year
met and vanquished several important
fighters. Rothwell was born in Denver in
1879. By defeating Terry McGovern at
Hartford, on Thanksgiving day, he become
the champion feather-weight of the world.

Expulsion of HIckey.
NEW YORK. Dec. 8. P. L. Powers,
president of the National Association of
Professional Leagues, has written Secre
tary Farrell, directing him to send a cir
cular to all leagues and associations com
posing the National Association, notifying
them of the expulsion of Thomas J.
HIckey from the National Association.
The charge was made that HIckey, In be
coming president of the American Asso
ciation, has not kept faith with the Na
tional. President Powers has addressed a
letter to Mr. HIckey as follows:
"By request of the members of the Na
tional Association you are hereby deposed
as member and chairman of the board of
arbitration, and notified that your connec
tion with the National Association is ter
minated." Dick Smith Again.
The following clipping from the New
York World of November 29 tells of a
play made In the Columbia-Carlisle game
by Dick Smith, formerly of the University
of Oregon:
Carlisle was now lustily invited to "Tear 'em
up. Indiana!" but It was Columbia, thnt. still
Insisted on doing the tearing up. Von Hoeven
'burg ran back 25 yards with the kick ofT; there
were a few more steady gains, and then Smith,
bursting clean through the center, brushed
aside all Interference, eluded the tackles, out
stripped all pursuers, and was over the line for
another touchdown, amid an enthusiastic and
tumultuous olamor. Bruce kicked the goal.
Columbia. 34: Carlisle. 0. Columbia had pret
ty well battered the Indians' end to pieces now,
and Weekes and Smith alternated In carrying
the ball down with resistless rushes until It
was over the line once more, and once again
Bruce kicked goal. Score: Columbia, 40; Car
lisle, 0. Then the Indians rallied and made
two touchdowns.
McGovern May Meet Corbett Again.
NEW YORK. Dec. 9. Yielding to the
personal request of Terry McGovern,
young Corbett. last night. It Is said,
agreed to fight Terry next July. It is
understood both will post forfeits this
(Monday) morning. The two men met
with their managers at an uptown sport
ing resort at 2 o'clock this morning. After
some discussion, Corbett's manager an
nounced that he would make no agreement
for a fight until after January 1, when
Corbett would be ready to receive chal
lenges. He said further that he would
make no promise with regard to the pref
erence for McGovern as against any other

GRAZING ON RESERVES
3IR. PIXCHOT'5 ADDRESS AT LIVE
STOCK COXVEXTIOX.
Co-operation BetTreen the Govern.
ment and the Stockmen Effect
of Forests on Water Supply.
CHICAGO, Dec. 8. The full text of the
address of Glfford Plnchot on "The Graz
ing Problem in the Forest Reserves," de
livered before the livestock convention,
follows:
Aside from the general problem of forest
preservation, the question of grazing has.
from the first, been the principal prob
lem of the forest reserves, because the
area of the reserves has been more imme
diately and widely used by the grazing
interest than by any other. The con
troversy has centered around eheep be
cause sheep are usually herded and other
livestock usually is not. Herding means
the. concentration of grazing animals on
small areas. In addition, the accessibility
to sheep or country partly or wholly In
accessible to cattle has led the sheep
men Into the high mountains and about
the headwaters of streams, and so has
forced the controversy between Irrigators
and sheep men to an acute degree. Re
cently other kinds of livestock, and es
pecially goats, have begun to appear in
the contest.
The effect of forests on water supply
lies at the root of the whole matter. In
most cases the dispute takes place be
tween the irrigation interests and the
grazing interests, the lumber and min
ing interests as yet taking little or no
part.
The hostility of settlers to sheep-grazing
rests partly on their fear for the
safety of the water supply, partly on
unfair treatment, to which they have
not Infrequently been subjected by in
dividual sheepmen. Nor are the cases un
common in which such hostility does not
exist.
The function of the Government in the
administration of the forest reserves is
to weigh the claims of the opposing in
terests and so to adjust them as to ad
vance to the greatest possible degree the
permanent prosperity of the region ar
fected. Any Just solution will almost In
evitably fall to meet entirely the views
of either party. It will necessarily be
based on the Interest of the community
as a whole, for to that Interest the claims
of any single body of men Irrigators,
sheepmen, cattlemen, miners or lumber
menmust Inevitably yield whenever they
are In conlllct with It.
At the request of the Secretary of the
Interior, the Department of Agriculture
has made, within the last few years, ex
tensive studies on the ground of the
grazing problem in the forest reserves.
These Investigations have touched every
public land state In which the open
range is still a factor of Importance, and
have brought the agents of the depart
ment into contact with every shade of
opinion throughout the West. Partly as
a result of this investigation, the Secre
tary of the Interior has recently made
public the principal points of his admira
ble policy In dealing with the. grazing
question in the forest reserves. 1 pro
pose to describe them briefly.
The introductory paragraph on grazing
Is as follows:
"The central Idea should be co-operation
between the Government and the
grazing Interests In securing the best
management and bringing about the best
condition of the range."
It Is unquestioned thut the chief inter
est of the Government in the forest re
serves Is to give them their highest util
ity to the whole people. The wise use
of the reserves for grazing is as much
In the .interest of the stockmen as in the
Interest of the Government, and there can
be no question whatever but that co
operation between them will lead to bet
ter results than the attitude of demand
on one side and hesitating compliance
or refusal on the other, which has char
acterized so much of their relations in
the past.
Following the introductory paragraph
Just cited are nine articles, the first of
which reads thus:
"L The Government, through Its for
est officers, after consultation with the
representatives of the various Interests
Involved, should decide on the numtwr
of head to be grazed In each forest re
serve, or each subdivision or a torest re
serve, and should establish the bounaanes
between cattle range and sheep range "
Under this paragraph the Government
oftlcers must weigh and adjust the rela
tive claims of wood, water and grass to
protection and use- Sometimes, but rare
ly, these claims arc mutually exclusive,
so that to grant one is to refuse another.
In most cases all the interests can be
subserved at once. In every case the re
sources of the reserves can be made
most useful only by a fair-minded con
sideration and treatment of all the inter
ests Involved, with the best good of th
whole community as the object to be
reached.
Paragraph 1 transfers the struggle be
tween sheepmen and cattlemen for the
possession of the range from the oppos
ing interests to the Government oftlcers,
who should be Just and Impartial Judges
In the premises. It means the end of the
armed strife which has been far frcm
unknown In the past, and of the killings,
which are. unhappily, still too common.
"2. The local associations should as
sign ranges to owners within the limits
thus laid down, subject to official ap
proval." Paragraph 2 transfers the burden of
local controversies frm the forest offi
cers to the local asportations, and gives
the latter a very large share In the man
agement or the range, under the over
sight of the Government officials'. It nec
essarily involves the recognition of thf
associations by the Government. It will
also doubtless require the formulation or
'definite local and general rules for tho
action and responsibility of the associa
tions already formed or to be formed
hereafter. Possible quarrels between the
stockmen themselves seem to be the on!y
prospective hindrances to the effectiveness
of this plan, and if such difficulties should
arise they will doubtless be adjusted
speedily, in the Interest of the general
welfare.
"3. Bothj)wners and local associations
should be neld responsible for the ob
servance of the terms of permits and
the prevention of fire and overgrazing.
Jt would be unwise to Ignore the fact
that the forests, the Government, the ir
rigation Interests and the grazing Inter
ests themselves have not Infrequently
suttered In the past by violations of per
mit on the part of Individual stockmen,
unprevented. undiscovered or unpunished
by the forest officers. I have some ac
quaintance with stockmen in various por
tions of the West, and I desire here to
express my well-grounded conviction that
the great majority of them want to do
right and mean to do right. I have been
assured over and over again that they
will gladly co-operate with the Govern
ment, through their local associations, to
bring about an honest and businesslike
handling of this whole matter. Not even
the forest officers will know so certainly
and quickly of any violations of the reg
ulations as the stockmen themselves, and
no other means could so easily repress
offenses as the knowledge that a viola
tion by any individual will be to the dis
advantage of all the rest. This paragraph
gives to the Government, In the enforce
ment of regulations In which the local
asspclatlons have already had a part, thp
powerful and united help of the men at
interest, and it should work well.
"4. Each sheepowner should have the
exclusive right to his range, and the
same should apply, within reasonable lim
Its. to groups of cattleowners."
Paragraph 5 should be read with it.
"5. Permits should run for five years.
It Is no news to you that the sheep
Industry has suffered greatly in many re
gions from the uncertainty which has
hung over the possession of the range.
Exclusive control of his range by a sin
gle owner for five years will create at

THE
once an Interest on his part in the con
dition of hte range and will make it worth
his while to protect and Improve It. 1
need hardly remind you that the struggle
for the range has commonly led to the
destruction of the younger grass early In
the season, and to conflicts and losses of
many kinds. Here Is a plan which gives
the individual a powerful Interest In the
protection of his range and turns his
energy toward range Improvement, In
stead of toward range dcetructlon.
The result for groups of cattle-owners
should be equally good. Such groups will.
In my judgment, often be locally advan
tageous among sheep-ownere as well, and
I believe they should be permitted when
necessary, but only with the consent of
all the rangeholders affected, and under
the responsibility of the associations for
the observance of the rules and the pro
tection of the range.
"6. Residents should have precedence
in all cases over tramp owners and own
ers from other states."
The equity of this provision Is self- evi
dent. It needs no comment from me.
"7. Local questions should be decided
on local grounds and on. their own merits
In each separate case."
Paragraph 7 marks a step whose Im
portance Is known to none better than to
the men on the ground. The practice or
the Government In dealing with forest
reserves has not always been based on
a full knowledge of local conditions and
needs, nor has the undeslrabllity of deal
ing with different regions, different cli
mates, different forests and different
ranges, under general blanket provisions,
always been fully recognized. The prf.Tipt
and close adaptation of rules and meihuies
to local needs must always be the keynote
of the successful administration of forest
and range alike.
"8. Since the forest reserves are usu
ally Summer ranges, provision should
be made for necessary routes of transit."
Such routes will be necessary not only
to cross whole reserves, but they wlM
be absolutely essential, in very many
cases, to enable men to cross their neigh
bors ranges to reach their own. In estab
lishing and maintaining them the associa
tions can. I believe, be of signal assist
ance to the Govcrr-ncnt in a matter of
peculiar delicacy and Importance.
"9. The policy of the Government should
be based on regulation rather than prohi
bition, except In special cases, it being
understood that the avoidance of over
grazing is equally In the interest of all
parties."
Forage Is a crop regularly and abundant
ly produced by the forest reserves, and,
as a rule. It should be regularly har
vested. Government regulation Is as es
sential for the prevention of overgrazing,
which is the suicide of the grazing inter
ests, as It Is to the well-being of the
reserves themselves.
Not the least among the advantages of
Government regulation along the lines
laid down, by the Secretary of the In
terior will be the settlement of disputes
among stockmen over the right to use
the range, and of the damage to the
carrying power of the range Itself, which
this c&Ynpetltlon so often entails.
There are certain plnccs, and It would
be well to recognize It from the start,
where the Interests harmfully affected by
grazing in the forest reserves are so over
whelmingly great that grazing is out or
the question. Such are. for example, the
Bull Run forest reserve In Oregon, from
which the City of Portland derives Its
admirable water supply, and the reserves
of Southern California, where the dis
astrous effects of grazing on irrigation,
which Is the paramount Interest of that
region, have already been conclusively
demonstrated. But there are vast regions
In which nothing but reasonable regula
tion Is required to make the grazing In
dustry altogether safe, and to demon

JEFFRIES IS DUE TODAY
CHAMPION OF THE WORLD WILL BE

He In "Willing to Meet Fltr.sImrnon
If He Can't Get Him, He Will
Take on Sharkey.
!
DUNSMUIR. Cal., Dec S. "I don't
know where my next match Is coming."
said James J. Jeffries, the champion
heavy-weight boxer of the world, when
seen In his drawing-room on the north
bound Southern Pacific train this morn
ing. Jeff Is an ardent sportsman,
and was continually calling no
tice to places where he said he
was sure bear or deer could be
found. After his fight with Ruhlln. Jim
spent two weeks with his old shopmates
at Los Angeles. He had recently read
where FItzslmmons had agreed to meet
him and again had read that Fitz had
stated after the McGovern fight that he
would not entr the ring again, so Jeff
is at a loss to know whether he will se
cure a match with the ex-champion or
not. To satisfy himself he Intends to
have a personal Interview with Fitz when
he reaches New York. He would rather
fight Fitz than any one else and Is will
ing to meet him at any place and under
any rules either In or out of the ring.
Should Fitz refuse to fight -he will give
Sharkey, who has placed a deposit of
$2200, a chance.
"I want to do my fighting while I am
young and strong," said Jeffries, "be
cause I realize that If I keep at the
game that sooner or later someone will
take my measure. This Is an out-of-the-way
route to reach the East, but I have
always had a desire to sec the northern
part of the Pacific Coast, and I am sat
isfied that I will not be disappointed In
it."
In regard to the tilk of a fight between
him and Mnrtin, the champion said: "I
would not fight a negro for the world's
championship, but should I retire from
the ring and Martin claim the champion
ship title, the public may rest assured
that I will be back In the harness to take
It away from him.
"In regard" to the future. I mny take
a trip to Europe before I return to the.
Coast, or I may organize a company in
New York and play back this way. But
should a match heave in sight. I will
cancel all other engagements and give It
my Immediate attention.
"My appearance In Portland tomorrow
evening will be my first before the pub
lic sinct my match with Ruhlln. It Is
(he first time I have ever been In Oregon,
and from, what I have heard of the sport
ing element in Portland I expect to place
mv'-ieif before a large number of specta
tors tomorrow night. I will arrive In the
city In the morning and spend the day
gptting ready for my performance in the
evening and seeing the town.

IT IS A CRIME
"It Is a crime to experiment with the health of the people." says Dr. J.
Henri Kcsler. manager of the Old St. Louis Dispensary at Portland. "If
1 did not know positively and absolutely that my new home treatment
will cure all diseased of men, even when all other methods of treatment
fall. I would consider I was committing a crime tc mike such a .-tntment
to the public. Nothing is &o precious to a man aa his hoalth notlilng so
horrible as an Insane Asylum or the grave. Little Ills, if not promptly
cured, often result In obstinate chronic diseases. I know that my rew dis
covery is the most marvelous treatment ever known, and I Intend to give
its benefit to the world. I intend that every man. woman and child who
comes for treatment shall have it. I propose to tell the sick, absolutely
free of charge. If they may be restored to perfect health 1 would rather
be a benefactor to the sick man than to have trie wealth of Croesus."
The above are remarkable woidj.. but thoe who know Dr. Uesler, and
have tried his treatment, can vouch for their absolute truthfulness.

By far the most frequent cause of nervous disorders of the male is
A DAMAGED PROSTATE GLAND.
The Prostate Gland (so-called neck of the bladder). Is a structure very
rich In nerveF. When the terminations of these nerves are kept in constant
state of excitement by chronic inflammatory process. It appears very clear
that by transmission of this Irritation to other nerves, the patient may be
subject to nervous phenomena of the most varied character. Prematurencss.
etc.. are not weaknesses, but symptoms of this inflammation. We have pre
pared a colored chart, which we will send free on application, by which any
one Interested can readily understand why. if he has bt'en treated for a
weakness, he has not been cured. We particularly solicit this class of cases,
and can promise a speedy cure without stomach drugging.
