May 13 UP) The Washington Huskies won eight events to Washington State's seven in the weekend dual meet at Pullman so Husky followers are optimistic enough to think the west side aggregation might emerge the winner in the north ern division track meet here next Saturday. The Cougars, however, won the dual meet 68 23 to 61 13. The Cougars' supporters be lieve their margin of victory should be greater this Saturday because of the wider field of competition. These dopesters believe that several events In which Coach Hoc Edmundson's men sparkled in the dual meet may be won by entries from Oregon or Oregon State. The events Include the high Jump, Javelin and broad Jump. Lee Orr and Capt Dixon Garner led the Cougar assault last Saturday with record break ing performances. Klamath Gunner Ties High Score SACRAMENTO, May 13 W) By breaking 100 straight targets in the final day of the state trap shoot Don Traynham, Wood land, scored total of 197 to win the California 16-yard champion ship. Frank Troeh, Portland, Ore., went one better for a total of 198 in the three day meet which ended yesterday, but, being from outside the state, he was not eli gible to win. The most spectacular perform ance was by Cal Ray, Coquille, Ore., who broke 100 straight tar gets Saturday and broke 82 more yesterday before he missed. In the 100-target California handicap, E. K. Corbctt, Carson City, Nov., Frank Troch, Port land, Ore., and Paul Hilton, Klamath Falls, Ore., scored 93's. In the California state doubles championship Troeh was first with 92 but the trophy went to R. W. Derby, Jr., LaGrange, with 91, a California resident. MOTORIST FINED FOR GOING 12 MPH SALEM. Ore., May 13 (UP) Earl Snell has received another present. This time it is a col lection of early Oregon auto license plates, presented by Wal ter M. Cook of Portland. Cook once used the plates on his own automobiles in the Plels' toccne period of Oregon automo- biling from 1906 to 1910. His first plate was Oregon No. 246. It was issued for a large one-cylinder Cadillac. The plates consisted of white letters and numerals on a red background In connection with this car Cook told Snell he received his first traffic ticket. "A policeman appeared at my house one day," Cook explained, "with a warrant for my arrest. It seems they had set a speed trap on Holladay avenue and I was accused of traveling twelve miles per hour. The speed limit was ten miles so I was fined $3." LIGHT AND DARK CLOUDS A white cloud is one formed of water particles so small that they reflect light.

W. Rodenwold, as sistant animal husbandman in charge of the feeding, said. With labor and overhead cost deducted, the steers still "paid" $30 per ton for the wheat or 90 cents per bushel on the farm. Grain used in th tests was surplus Oregon wheat supplied to the experiment station by th agricultural adjustment admin istration. Feeding surplus Oregon wheat to surplus Oregon feeder cattle, offers good possibilities for prof it under present conditions, said P. M. Brandt head of th di vision of animal industries.

And you hear amazing things about these land grants even from persons who should know better. Did you know that out of the 240,000 miles of railroad in the United States, only 17,627 mile were built with the aid of land grants? In other words, less than 8 per cent. It b this so-called "subsidy" (which helped to make possible the building of less than 8 per cent of the railroad mileage) that is urged today as an excuse for confinuousy subsidizing highway and water and air transportation in competition with a7 of the railroad mileage. ' Did yon know that the Land Grant were not ' "4ttia" at all? That the government has been repaid for them many times over? For under the terms of the land grant contracts, the government has received a reduction of one-halt of the regular freight charges and passenger fares on 11 government business moved over land-grant rail road, excepting mail, and on mail the reduction hat been one-fifth.
