We make a few extracts from the letter, which are as follows: "I am receiving the Dally Nebras kan which I must say Is unusually strong this year, and Is, J think,. dong more for the 'N' than any other one source and so with the letters I re ceive I manage to keep pretty well posted. "I Hko my work up her, as Inspector for the Western Railway Weighing Association, and Inspection Bureau, and I like the country. I have met a number of fraternity men from col leges all over the United Stales, who havo come here for practical experi ence in the mines. There are numer ous largo mines around Lead, among them the great Homestake, which em ploys over 2,200 men, and which Is the biggest gold mine In the world. The greatest part of my work consists In the inspection of car loads, and lc38( than car loads, of mining machinery and merchandise which come In here consigned to the mines or merchants, to see that the proper classification, rates and weights are applied.

When I got your last let ter I was so Infernally busy that 1 couldn't get time to answer, but now there Is a lull In the storm so I can Bit down and tell you all about It. "After seeing you in Lincoln I went to Omaha on a prospecting expedition, and hearing of this place, I came up, and while tho country was not partic ularly pleasing to the eye, it was to tho dough pile, so I returned tc Ulysses and packed up. "This is a great hay country, with ' a little farming to tho north and o ranch country to the south, but ha is tho main thing. Drouth never af fects the hay valleys here at the head waters of the Blkhorn. And talk aboul shooting! The country Is fairly alive with chickens and ducks in their sea son. Thousands of musk rats are an nually trapped In the low marshy ground around here. But to return to my text, business has prospered for mo since coming here. Last month I booked over $400, so you see I do some business. "I am thinking of taking In com mencement week In Lincoln next June. Must close now, hoping to hear from you soon. Truly, ' CHA9: H.

In tho absence of important matches schedulod for the year, the team has never really organized. In fact, but onco this school year, and that in December, has tho full first team practised together. Some of the members have come together an oc casional onco a week on Thursday at one o'clock, but practiced then, If they practiced at all, without officers, with out supervision and often with no op posing players, so that there could bo no real team developed. In the two weeks before the team Harts, the armory is to be had at no regular lime for playing, and it Is not pertain how strong- a team can be or ganized in tho odd hours possible for team practice. Another problem con corns tho position of guard. Miss Alice Towne of last year'B team Ib not considered eligible this year because of her connection wltlr-thoasslstants' taff of the gymnasium: and Miss Ida Taylor, captain, and brilliant guard, has been called from school by the illness of her father. The equal of these in experience and form and speed could not easily be developed In a few practice games. It is ad mitted that there are strong players on the team, but there is not a little difference between strong individual players and a strong team, whose members can "find each other in the game," are familiar with each other's styles of play, and Undw how to co operate. Those at present on the team are MlBses Jansa, Shinbur, Scott, Git tings and Sly. Miss Scott has been elected captain to succeed Miss Taylor. Waterman Fountain Pen $2.00 to $5.00 7200 O Street.
