with the final arrangement of the
eixtb franchise, which will be placed
in Columbia, the league is now cer-
taintv. as matters in Savannah have
baen satisfactorily arranged, and there
is no doubt now that this city will be
one of the liveliest contestants for
the penEant in the league.
There will be present at the meeting
Sunday. Mr. Felix Kohler, owner of
the Macon franchise, and his manager,
W A. Smith, Ed. Ashenback, manager
of the Charleston team; Messrs. j..
r Lucy, Max MyerSon, T. M. Dozier
and Frank E. Chase, owners of the
Jacksonville franchise, and their
manager, George w. (King) Kelly; Con
Strothers, of the Augusta franchise;
President Charles w. Boyer, and
several gentlemen interested in the
franchise at Columbia.
Though the league was formally or
ganized at the meeting, which was
held in Savannah on Nov. "a, there
are many matters yet to be arranged.
A trustee for the guarantee fund will
be appointed schedule of games adopt
ed date for commencement and end
ing of season decided upon, and a
general discussion of the outlook for a
good season.
No Manager for Savannah Yet.
With the exception of Columbia, Sa-
vannah is, perhaps, the least advanced
city in the league in the way of Or
ganiZation. This hardness is due to
the uncertainty of getting grounds for
the next season, and difficulties in get
ting financial backing for the under
taking. AS yet no manager has been
chosen for the Savannah team, though
Frank Foreman the old Baltimore
pitcher, has been recommended very
strongly, and will perhaps be engaged.
Foreman was first suggested to the
Savannah management by Mugsy Nc
Graw of the New York Giants, who
played on the Baltimore team at the
same time with Foreman. If he is
engaged Foreman will perhaps be the
highest priced manager in the league
and according to his statements made
to the directors of the Savannah Club
ne can get team together within the
salary limit that will keep right UT
at the top
The season in the league will open
on Memorial Day in the western sec
ton, Macon, Augusta and Columbia
as that day is more generally observed
as holiday in those cities than at the
seaport towns. With this arrangement
the season will open in Savannah about
one week later than at the interior
towns, six games being played before
the team returns home for a six-days

ABLAZE WITH DIAMONDS.
Found Precious stones Worth
Fortune.

How q poor charwoman, Frau
Blaschek, came into possession of a
large number of valuable diamonds,
which she-had had for the most part
set, pawned or given away, came out
when the woman and her son were ar
rested by the police.
Last August Herr Lachmann, court
jeweler, sent away by parcel post q
packet containing 30S diamonds, worth
100000. These never reached their
destination and the mystery of their dis
appearance was only lately cleared up.
Frau Blaschek's son confessed that he
found the precious packet in a rail-
way van and gave 1t to his mother.
The charwoman was remarkably lib
eral with the jewelry To the godmoth-
er of one of her children she gave three
stones, and on her sister (also a char
woman) and her niece she bestowed 16
diamonds each, after having had them
set in gold. 1t was this display Of jew
elry which led to the suspicious of the
police and the woman's arrest.
She herself possessed five rings, three
pairs of earrings, "a necklace and a
pendant cross, all richly set with dia-
monds. and these she usually hid in
her bed. She sold 81 stones to a jew
eler. giving another dozen as presents
to his children. She explained that
they were gifts from a relative In Chi
cago.
When Frau Blaschek was taken into
custody there were still in her pos
session So large and 50 small unset
brilliants.

MAKING THE DESERT BLOOM.
Great Works Of the Geological sur-
vey I'm the Barren Lands
OF Colorado.

Though 30 recently established the
reclamation service undertaken by the
geological survey In the barren lands
has already begun the construction Of
certain large dams, and has under con-
sideration among other projects six
mile tunnel for diverting the Gunnison
river in Colorado, so that the waters
may be used In irrigation. In the plan
ming and carry out Of these great works,
says Our National Survey: the Ro-
nance of Scientific Pioneering" by H.
F. Balm, In Booklovers Magazine, the
officers of the service will have unex-
ampled professional opportunities, not
only because of the size Of the works
themselves, but on account Of the free
dom given the engineers in planning
and building them. The supervising
engineer will report to a board of con-
sulting engineers, each OF whom is thor
oughly familiar with the difficulties of
such work, instead Of having to win, as
in private work, the approval Of board
of directors largely unfamiliar with his
difIiculties, and concerned mainly with
completing the work at the lowest possi-
BILE cost.
1t has been estimated that ultimately
60,O0o,00O to O.00o 900 acres, which are
now worth perhaps so cents an acre, will
be converted by irrigation into farming
and orchard land worth from $50 to $500
per acre. The law carefully provides
that this shall be sold in small lots to
actual settlers, SO as to accomplish the
main purpose Of the whole work-homes
for our rapidly increasing population
and opportunity for the young men and
the children equivalent to that which
the older generations enjoyed.
