ested in baseball doings will be
focused on the Pacific slope A war is
inevitable between the officials of the
Pacific Northwest Association and the op-
position league. From present indications
il appears the latter will win out in the
fight, although it may be a long and bit
ter struggle.
If the new organization is a success it
will prove to be one of the greatest bali
leagues in the country. With five big
cities like San Francisco, Oakland. Los
Angeles, Portland and Seattle and
good ball town like Sacramento, the pros
poets seem bright for a record breaking
season as soon as everything begins to
work smoothly.
The people in the Northwest seem di-
vided in the matter. Some of them are
loyal to the old Northwestern League,
while a great many want to see the Cali
fornia clubs in the league and are boost
ing the new league. The old managers in
Portland and Seattle are naturally bitter
toward the Pacific Coast League and
claim they will break it or break them
selves in the attempt.
1t will certainly be a golden opportunity
for the players to reap a harvest just a s
soon as the season opens next March.
The two rival organizations will do all
in their power to corral the star perform
ers and salaries will go a-fiuttering. A
gcoG man will have chance to make
nearly as much IN this league next season
as he could earn In either Of the two
ma jor leagues.
The fans may still have a chance to see
Kid Mohler play baseball next season.
From the latest accounts 1t appears the
Kid does not intend to go to Denver at

bership. The associations will be asked, to
appoint a delegate apiece to represent
them at a meeting to be held in Philadel-

tives decide to form a national body the
National Cricket Association win be
formed with n president four or FIVE vice
Presidents, representing different parts of

veteran cricketers will be asked to be-
come associate members at, an annual

put the national associati ton on a sound
financial basis, paying the salary of the
secretary and other expenses. Veterans

Clerks Report.

The semi-annual report of City Clerk Henson shows the city's finances in every department to be in frst-class condition. The report is for six months ending Sept. 30, l9O3 On March 30th there was in the hands of the City Treasurer, to the credit of the General fund, a cash balance of S24l46. Since that date he has received in cash and collectable bills including the tax rolls for 19O3) the sum of S6557.G0. Claims against the city have been paid to the amount of S1, ,123.45 and loan has been made the school fund of s., GOO. This leaves in the hands of the Treasurer, to the credit of this fund, S2775.5l in cash and bills payable.
 The Police fund shows receipts s71, disbursements S61.70; balance in hands of Treasurer S93O.
 The Dog Tax fund shows receipts S6S, disbursements S11; balance on hand s57.
 The Poll Tax fund shows credit of s138.
 The School Fund is not as prosperous, but, considering the conditions at the beginning of the year, makes fairly good showing. The receipts in this fund have been, from licences, S5409.46: loan from city S3OOO On March 30, there was an oyerdraft of S51S; war rants have been drawn and notes paid to the amount of s5,9796o. This leaves a balance to the credit of the fund of s2424.6S of which S2,2OO is held for the purpose of paying notes and interest to that amount. This will leave in the hands of Treasurer Fox S224.68 to the credit of this fund. All claims, against the school fund, that have been pre- sented, have been paid in full.
 Taken as whole the report is indeed encouraging, and when it is taken into consideration that, during the year and half that the city has been doing business for itself, site has been pur- chased and beautiful school building erected and equipped at cost of S12s- 900, the financial showing is good one.
 In addition to the above, the city fire department has not been neglected and the three companies have each suit able building for the care ofapparatus, Sc. Streets have been improved, sewers put in, street lights installed, and many other things done to add to the comfort and preserve the health of the people.
 It will not be long before the little city of Douglas will be in position to conduct every department of it's busi, ness, not excepting the schools, upon 8 strictly cash basis, plan which many older cities might well take as pat, tern.
