SPORTING NOTES.

The Spokane City league is started
in good style. The six teams have
been chosen and hot fight can be ex.
pected from the way the managers
are out after players. There will be
no tailender by 300 points this season
If the managers all succeed in attain
ing their standards in the players
signed.
The Northwestern league Is formed
six teams and six teams backed by
enthusiastic men. The Northwestern
league has the jump on the Coast
league and no trouble will result to
force the league to 60 outlaw unless
the southerns should take the fatal
step and put team in Seattle. Then
would the Northwestern league be put
in hard position and at the same
time the Coast league might sound it's
death knell.
Indian Joe" Gregg, formerly of Spo-
kane, Is now fighting in six round
bouts in Philadelphia, and is more
than holding his own.
Jack Travers, for long time head
OF the British Benevolent society at
Spokane, has become a dog fancier.
He has recently returned from a trip
to England and brought back with
him two Of the best pedigreed fox
terrier dogs in the British Empire.
Joe Cans announces that his match
with Harry Lewis has been declared
off. Cans says that Lewis was not
satisfied with the division of the purse.
There is practically no change in
the models of bicycles for 1907 from
those used in 1906. But one make has
been received in the city this season
which shows departure from the for.
mer machines. The Excelsior bicycle
makes decided change in that the
frame is reinforced by a bar directly
under the top on the frame. This
makes the frame much stronger than
it would be without the additional
bar. At the same time the new
model is not cumbersome, but on the
contrary is quite attractive.
A motor cycle club, to include all of
the motor cyclists in Spokane, is plan
ned to be formed as soon as the
weather permits the enthusiasts to get
out on the road. 1t is estimated there
are between rs and 80 motor cyclists
in Spokane.
Frank Fromm, the crack shot of the
Spokane Rifle & Revolver club, is out
with challenge to meet any revolver
or pistol shot in the city in a match
shoot for the championship of Spo-
kane.

The Montana legislature in commit

passage the Shaw-Tudor railroad com.

made only after a heated discussion.
The Montana legislature tabled the

requiring the lobbist to leave when
ever a member wished him to.

SETTLE JAP MIDDLE NORTHWEST STATES
President and CALlFORNIANS
AGREE TO agree.
School Question Can Be Adjusted
Without Danger Of Any Serious Diff
ficulty With Japan-State Depart.
ment to Conclude Diplomatic Nego.
tiations as Result Of Conference.

President Roosevelt and the authori-
ties of San Francisco have reached
the mutual understanding that the
California Japanese school question
can be adjusted without danger of any
serious difficulty with Japan. It was
authoritatively stated that the one &C.
complishment Of the first conference
was mutual understanding that a set
tlement could be reached which would
be satisfactory and leave no ground
for trouble.
The California delegation came to
Washington, it is said, with nothing
in the nature of an ultimatum, but
rather open to the consideration of
any basis of settlement which the ad-
ministration might propose.
The conference took place at the
White House Saturday afternoon. 1t
was attended by President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root, representing the
administration, and Mayor E. E.
Schnitz, the members of the board of
education, the superintendent of
schools and the assistant city attorney
of San Francisco, representing the
educational interests of the city.
The conference, in accordance with
an understanding reached earlier in
the day, when Mayor Schmitz saw the
president, with Representatives Kahn
and Hayes, began shortly after
o'clock. The Californians resched the
executive offices shortly before that
hour and halted for few moments on
the steps, where they were photo
graphed in a group. Preceding their
call, the president had been closeted
for some time with Secretary Root,
presumably to talk over the situation.
This over, the president cordially
greeted the Californians who had been
shown into his Office, and after brief
formalities the conference was begun.
Secretary Root remained, at the
presidents request. because Of the
fact that whatever diplomatic negotia-
tions may arise as a result OF the de-
cision finally arrived at will have to
be conducted by the state department.

MAKES PRESENT OF $4,000, 900
Rockefeller Donates That Sum to
Schools.

Rockefeller Donates That Sum to
Schools.
Thirty-two million dollars worth of
income bearing securities was the gift
of John D. Rockefeller, through his
son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., an.
nounced to the general education
board, when it assembled for a spec.
ial meeting in New York recently. The
gift, which is the largest single sum
every handed out for such purposes,
will be used for general educational
purposes throughout the country. Mr..
Rockefeller has previously given the
board $11,000,000 for the same work.
Worldwide will be the appreciation
of the spirit which led John d. Rock
efeller to give in one donation $780,
100000 to the cause of education in
the United States. 1t is truly said
that never in history has any man
given at one time so large a sum for
social and philanthropic purposes. The
liberality of Andrew Carnegie, great
as it has been. is unmarked by any
thing that compares with this. gift by
Rockefeller. and when it is borne in
mind that the $32,0OO,0O0 by no means
represents all of the latter's genera
sity the present donation stands out
all the more prominently.
A recent statement of Rockefeller's
gifts to the University of Chicago
placed the total amount OF $4,000, 0OO
Previous gifts to the general educa-
ton board have been $1l,000,000. In
these three items there is total of
$62 100000 given for educational pur-
poses. Rockefeller has, moreover,
been liberal at one time or another in
donations to various colleges and uni
versities and for other philanthropic
objects. 1t might not be wide of the
mark to say that an aggregate of $751;
100000 out Of his fortune has been
thus diverted.

Bob Larson of Wallace knocked out

1t is reported that the promoters
of the Wallace-Spokane electric line
are busy taking options for a right
of way near Rose lake, on the Occur
d'Alene river at the mouth of Fourth

a spur will be extended from the main
line to Rose lake in order to secure
the traffic Of the Rose Lake Lumber
company. Recent reports absolutely
confirm the earlier claims that the
road is an assured fact. This will
put Occur d'Alene on a direct line
between Wallace and Spokane.

General John Wanamaker, whose beau

was Mr.. Wanamaker's collections of
