Alliance BthuainstH expected to se-e the lo oni team win, but were greatly sur prised when the Alliance boya pllenl up a score of 90 points, which, waa the highest acore ever made on the High School floor. Kvery gMM that has ! ii played between Alliance and Crawford haa resulted In A II I nce winning vlctorie with about ten points to their credit to every single point niHde by their oppon ents. Crawford was reported as hav ing n stronger team than usual this year, but If such was the case, fail ed to exhibit that said strength. Al though a one-sided game, It was in teresting and exciting from start to finish. The A. H. 8. boys started the game In their usual fast, style, sweeping the Crawford quintet off their feet, awl scored eighteen points before! their ouoonents bad once dropped the hell through the basket. At this time one of the Crawford guards managed to come In contact with the ball and threw the first goal for the Tisitora. A foul was called on Keegnn but Balengee of the Crawford rtggregn guard, I, DWaell, !. Spneht I, Beach !. The score- nt the end of this half was ;1 to ... Dining the ten minute Intermis sion between the halves the specta tors witnessed a game by the two hildren of K 1 l.aing, who wll be on some luture ream or i ne mgn school and help Alliance to hold her lalm tc the championship of this end of the slate. The second half began with re markably fast playing. Darnell scor ing Immediately after the whistle of Referee Nolan.

Immediately after this double foul was called, which was missed by the Crawford man, but was made by Darnell. Alliance was alto awarded a paint when this wus thrown, and the score at point of the game stood 2H to 2 After five additional baskets made by Alliance- another foul was called on Keegaii, and wus this time made by ilaiengee. Thero were several ex citing plays made during the game The ball thrown from the field by Darnell at one lime in the- first halt' of the game perched itself upon the.1 rim of the basket as if deliberating upon which team to favor finally roll ed over the outer edge. Late in the first half two fouls were- palled ob Kaegan in quick succession, both of which were- thrown by the Craw ford man. Although not necessarily rough. Keegnn has a way all his own Of making players Matter like pin in a bowling alley, lie- was tbe on 1y offender on the- Alliance- team in making fouls, but bravely took his medicine whe n Ite-tUtce Hays c alled a foul on him. and In one instance was stand tag at tnu CrgvftMrd gonl An extremely difficult pass being performed by two Crawford boys Fines $60.00 Marshal fees 21.00 within ten second three- baskets wbre scored. After about ten, min utes had elapsed in this half two of the Alliance substitutes were given places, Young taking Beach's place, and Davenport taking Hie place of Graham. Crawford also changed two men in their lineup at this time. For a time tbere was a slack In the bas ket shooting of the local team. But the wore continued to increase un til 6 points were credited to Alli ance. Remington, one of the men substituted, scored Crawford's only basket in this half, making a total of points for the Crawford boys. The Alliance team made great efforts to push the score above the 100 mark, but the intense excitement caused wild shots for the basket and the score remained unchanged. A small group of sympathetic Alii einee girls attempted to encourage the playera from Crawford by cheer ing for them.

Albert Johnson, publishei of The Daily Wu-Hhingtonian, and Thomas Crawford, publisher of the Centralia Dally Chronicle, are the Other me-mbers of the niiiiiulUee who are behind the work. This move ment Is meeting with approval of the e-ountry newspaper men of the nation and villi undoubtedly soon re sult in an organization of this kind, whic h would be of great benefit to the business. WYOMING MAN FUGUTIVE Charley Harris, who, with his brother Frank, was under $:!,000 bond for cattle stealing at Torring ton, Wyoming, skipped out from Torringlon last week and tlie- last known of him was that he came to Alliance in an auto fromo Mitchell. Since then all trace of til in has been loat. It Is understood that a reward of not less than $1,000 will be offered for the apprehension of Charley Harria. His brother was surrendered by the bondamau, (leo. ; A Marsh, a brother In-law of tbe Washington, Keb. If, Few per sons realize the far reaching im portance of the fact that Hie I'nited States will soon have an income tax on its statutes. First of all, it means that million aires will, for the first time sin e this nation has stood, bear a fail proportion of the burden of taxation. It is estimated thai one hundred million dollars will be raised annu ally by taxing incomes. This will mean that that amount of taxation is to he- laken off of the things that the people uiuat have in order to live and placed on wealth. Under the systc-m of protection as played in this country, nearly every penny of the money necessary to run the government, maintain the army and navy, construct public buildings, etc., Is raised by taxing the- things the people- eat, wear and use. The only thing that protection doea not tax id wealth A man with a fortune of te4i million dollars has not been riciuireei to tay a single penny of I tax to the national governibent. This seems almost unbelievable, but it is true. The man working on the action for a dollar and fifty cents per day, with a family of five child ren, is at the present time actually contributing more to run the nation al government than the millionaire bachelor, too proud to marry and raise a family. The United States of Amerie-a is prac tically the only one of the gr ,ii nations where such a condition ex ists. Nearly every first clas nation on earth levies either an income lax or an Inheritance tax. We hare neither. Why have we never been able to place an income tax on the statute books, is the iuetion that nnturallr arises. Here is the answer: Hlgii protectionists have prevented the passage of an income lax law cause they knew that the more ey the government collected taxing incomes, the less excuse would he for a tariff tax. To protection away from the- tariff will be a all kinds be I here tak, t rust is to interfere with their monopolies And how e-ould the tariff trusts gougec onsuiiie rs without having mon opciies of American markets? The American people are paying annually about $80,000,000 more for their cotton goods than they ought to pay. because of the inieiuitous I'ayne Aldrich tariff law. The 83rd congress is preparing to Interfere- with this robbery. There big downward revision on of cotton goods. The cotton sche-lule ol the I'ayne -Aldrich law carries an averaue duty of about 5.1 per cent This iiu-an-that every article of cotton c loth and every pitc-e of cotton yarn t liar comes through the custom house lias 6.J per cent added to its foreign price. And on cotton goods that do not e-ome through the custom lion-, but is manufactured in tins country! the 5:: per cent is added just die same by the home manufacturer. When the tariff on cotton goods is reduced on a-third or one-half of the preseut rates, this article so much used by women and children may be had at prices more nearh representing the actual value of the '.(OCl!-
