PACIFIC COAST COMPANY
STOCK TRANSFERRED

Seattle, Jan. pa dispatch from
San Francisco, which is the Pacific
coast headquarters for the Hartman
system, announces that ten millions of
Pacific Coast Company's stock has
been transferred in New York either
to Hartman or Hill interests. The
dispatch also states that the purchase
is believed to have been made by Har-
riman for the purpose of acquiring
terminal facilities for the Union Pa
cific in Seattle.
That the stock purchase has been
made by Hartman is further con-
firmed by the fact that the recent pur-
chases of tide lands by the Hartman
interests in this city adjoin property
holdings of the Pacific Coast Compa-
ny in this city in most instances, and
that in every case the holdings &C.
quired by Hartman are in close prox-
unity to Pacific Coast Company water
front property.

public roads, Governor Albert Mead
made an offer to the county commits
sioners Of Spokane county to supply
as many convicts as would be desired
This order was at once accepted by

commissioners. Mr. Snow said there

B y the. agreement the state will fur

GIRL LABOR UNDER LIGHT.
tnve siiaatton Of Conditions to Be
made by Congress-.

Washington, Jan. 24.-COngress
may decide to have the bureau of Ia
Dor conduct an exhaustive investiga-
ton into the conditions surrounding
girl labor in the United States. The
president urged in his message that
some action be taken. Miss Jane Adj
dams, head of the Hull Settlement,
of Chicago, and Miss Mcdowell, con-
nected with the Chicago University
settlement, have been comforting with
members of conrgess for some days,
and are very much gratified over the
progress they are making.
The women have bill carrying an
appropriation of 5000, 600 for the work.
1t is unlikely that congress will go as
Tar as this. What has been advised
by the congressional leaders is that
an appropriation be made to bring out
good knowledge Of conditions. It is
quite likely Secretary Metcalf will
recommend limited appropriation.

California Supreme Court Declares
Bonds Legal.

San Francisco, Jan. 22.-The SUI
preme court has handed down deci-
sion by which funds will soon be
available for the completion of the
San Francisco sea wall. The court
sustained the validity of the so-called
sea wall act, passed by the legislature
in March, 1908, which authorized the
state board of harbor commissioners
to issue $4,000, 900 in bonds to COM
plete the San Francisco sea wall.
The harbor commissioner proceeded
to issue bonds under this act, but
State Treasurer Reeves refused to ap-
prove the issue. The commissioners
thereuponn applied to the supreme
court for writ of mandate to compel
the state treasurer to sign the bond
issue.
The court by its decision directs
the state treasurer to sign the bonds.
The harbor commission, it is under
stood, will now issue bonds under the
act from time to time until the full

WAY TO KEEP FISH ALIVE.

French Scientists Discover nec,o>
scoDie Algae Of Great Value.
Consul General Guenther, of Frank
Tort, Germany, writes Of a report that
the French naturalists, Billiard and
bruyant, have made discovery with
reference to keeping fish alive which
may be OF great Importance.
The reported discovery concerns 4
tiny alga, by itself not visible to tbs
naked eye, which possesses the remark
able property Of preserving the water
In which 1t exists In a state Of great
purity for an almost unlimited period.
The little plant possesses also the adj
vantage Of multiplying rapidly and
thrives In almost all kinds Of fresh
water. To the naked eye the pres
ence of these algae 10 noticeable
through the brilliantly green color OF
the water, provided it, contains q large
number Of them.
The two scientists have succeeded In
keeping brook trout alive in large
sized vessel for six weeks, so that their
taste at the end of this period did not
appear to be impaired In the least.
This is all the more remarkable, as 1t
Is well known that otherwise brook
trout can only be kept alive In run
ming water. Leeches have been kept
alive by the same process one and
one-half years without change of wa
ter. Experiments have already been
made to make practical use of the dis
covery for the transportation of live
fish.
Live brook trout, for instance, were
shipped by rail, the journey consuming
seven hours, at a temperature Of rs
degrees, In vessels filed with water to
which these algae had been added. Tho
trout were all fresh upon arrival.
while Of others, shipped at the same
time In pure water not containing
these algae, not single trout arrived
alive. The explanation Of this phe-
nomenon Is probably that these algae.
like other green plants. decompose the
carbonic acid exhaled by the fish and
SO reoxidize the water. The two SCI
entists are also of the opinion that the
algae also render the poison. which
may have been secreted by the fish.

Game to be Revised, Hired Coaches
Barred, Players Rust Study OF
teaye Team.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-College football
was dealt staggering blow by the
representatives of the faculties of the
big nine' Western colleges, who. at
the conclusion of a two days confer
enee, recommended many changes in
the conduct of football and other
sports. The aim of the professors, an
parentIy, is to curb as far as possible
all tendencies toward professionalism
in the different universities. and the
various recommendation announced
after the meeting adjourned have this
idea uppermost.
It was recommended that the game
of football as played at present be
abolished as an intercollegiate sport
in the conference colleges; that the
American football rules committee
make such notifications of the play-
ing rules as will free the game from
brutality and unnecessary danger;
that in the event such alterations are
not sufficient the conference will dele
gate committee to draw up rules of
its own, and that, if a satisfactory
game can be thus established, the rec
concentrations of this conference shall
apply to its conduct and management.

The number of intercollegiate games
played by each university team shall

The admission to all athletic meets
shall be limited to SO cents for stu

No training table shall be main

That no one shall play for more
than three years in the aggregate in
any Intercollegiate sport, and that this
participation shall b e confined to un-
dergraduates.
That no team consisting in whole or
in part of college students shall play
with high schools, academies or indie
pendent professional schools
That it is recommended to the col
lege conference that its rule which al
lows the first three games of the sea-
son to be uncounted in participation
be eliminated.
That freshmen teams and second
elevens shall play only with teams
from their own institutions.

No Study, No football.

The money end of football was
strongly condemned in a set of resolu-
tons, and in the future the faculty
will have charge of the gate receipts.
One of the new rules compels the foot
ball player to have as many recita-
tons during the football season as at
any other time of the year, and at the
end of the school year he must be able
to show clean record to be eligible
for the team during the next playing
season. Any man who has received
his bachelor degree or other academic
degree will not be eligible to play on
football team, no matter by what
Institution that degree has been con-
ferred.
In the future the coach of any team
belonging to the "big nine'' colleges
must be member of the faculty. The
purely professional paid coach is not
to be employed. Among other recon-
mendations were the following:
