To this question Mr.. Campbell inter-
posed an objection, whose argument

Lumber an Exception.

The petitioners assert that the lumber
interests in Washington are suffering be-
cause of their inability to secure trans
portation facilities for their products, al
though other classes of freight ara
handled by the railroads with no more
delay than is incident to natural cond-
tiOns.
The compliments ask the commission
to compel the defendants to establish
through routes and joint rates via Port
land, and to make such other orders as
Will facilitate the transportation Of their
business.
One Of the difficulties. it is alleged. IS
that the lines of the Hartman system
refuse to exchange cars with the lines
of the Hill system because OF differences
between the heads of the two companies.
On the contrary, II is urged by the rail
roads that they have been unable to SUD
ply the necessary ears to transport the
lumber traffic because their increase OF
equipment UnavOidably has not kept pace
with the development of the lumber ia
terests in the state of Washington.
The case Is one of the first to be brought
before the commission under the provision
of the new rate law. which requires car
riers to establish through routes and
joint rates.

WILD WEST SHOW
sON DECEMBER Il
Baseball Grounds Will Be
Used for the Big
Carnival.

The preparations for the Wild West
Show which has been started through
the efforts of Eben Low, while on hts
trip through the mainland and which
are the result Of his presence at the
Frontier Day sports in Cheyenne, Wyo.,
are booming at present. The date has
been set for December Il and C. R.
Frazier has been appointed the man
ager of the affair. From the present
indications there will be a widespread
interest taken in the rough riding and
roping, which will be the principal
sports of the day, all over. the Terri
tory.
Angus McPhee, the champion roper
of the world, will arrive in this city.
accompanied by his wife and possibly
by one or two cow punchers from
the Western States, in the latter part
of November and will be here for a
couple of weeks before the contests
take place, in order that he may fam
iliarize himself with the conditions. In
the Frontier Day sports at Cheyenne
he not only won the championship but
also broke all the existing records for
roping. throwing and tying steer.
According to news brought from Ha-
wall by Sam Parker Jr, who is at
present in this city, the cowboys on
that island are enthusiastic over the
coming carnival, and will come down
here in great numbers. They are cut
ting down their allowances of square
face and saving their money for the
trip and will endeavor to show the
westerners that they, too, know some
thing of the ways and manners of the
elusive steer.
The Wild West carnival win be CIV
en- as a benefit for the furfa being rails
ed fer the Transpacific yacht. 1t will
be held at the baseball grounds and
a dicker has been made with the trus-
tees whereby they will receive twenty
five per cent. of the gross receipts OF
the day as their share. The remain
ing seventy-five per cent. will be used
first, to defray the expenses, and then
will be divided in two. one-haf to &C
to those who have had charge of the
affair and the other to the Yacht Com
mittee. The last time an affair Of this
kind was held, it was at kapiolanl
park and there was a great deal OF
interest taken and it was great sue
cess financially, the profits being giver
to one of the local charities.

material which has been given by firms
dealing in the various lumber and iron
fittings which are needed.
There viii be no time lost in start
ing the work when the plans arrive
as Sorenson & Lyle have everything
ready for building the yacht, which is
expected to be the fastest cruiser that
has ever been seen on the Pacific. No
name has yet been decided on for the
vessel, though Admiral Beckley is de-
sirous that she should be named the
Mooheau. Several other suggestions
have been made but the committee has
decided that the largest contributor
in cash shall have the right to name
the vessel, though it is understood that
a Hawaiian name should be used. On
this account there will be no decision
in regard to the name arrived at for
some little time.

team Mike readily agreed to this ana
also proffered them their choice Of his
three catchers, Bliss, Eastwood and
Donahue.
OF course, Mike hasn't entirely COM
pleted his team yet. He IS now look
ing our for bigger game than any he
has yet coaxed into his parlor. He
aims at none other than the great Bill
Lange, who has evinced a willingness
to make the trip if he can arrange his
business. Big Bill, in fact, seems more
than interested in the little Jaunt and,
though he has repeatedly said that he
is through with baseball forever, II IS
still possible that he may get back into
the game-just for the sake Of the trip.

terday afternoon at the Kakaako traps
and resulted in a complete surprise, j.
w. Harvey, one of the scratch men,
winning out with the fine score OF
nine out Of ten. 1t was generally
thought that the handicap men would
have a better chance than those on
scratch but the result proved the OPP
posite. only one of the men with a
large handicap coming near the win
ming score.
James E. Whitney showed UP in I'M
usually good form, making score OF
eight out of ten, while K. B. Porter
followed close behind with seven
BIRDS he also shooting from scratch.
Albert Waterhouse was the limit man
having a handicap of four birds, and
finishing well up in the list, and would
have tied Harvey had but one more OF
the clay birds fallen when he was
shooting. .Ais&a

CUSTOM HOUSE
BOWLING TEAM

The Custom House men have decided
that they have the best bowling team
in the city and have issued defiance,
directed to any four bowlers in the
city, for a series Of games and are
willing to back their team to the limit
The Custom House team will be COM
posed as follows: Bert Bower, DICK
Young, T. C. McGreW and Billy vii"
der That their challenge will be soon
taken up goes without saying. There
are several combinations that have
been proposed which would be only
too glad to defeat Uncle Sans men
on the alleys and believe that they
can do so without any great amount
of trouble.
One of the combinations which may
be picked to go up against the Reeve
nue. men is as follows: Castle. Schmidt
Robinson and MCGUIRE. The contest
ought to be a pretty one but Win
Robinson on the Picked Team the Gus
tom House boys would be handicapped
as he is without doubt the steadiest
and best Of all the bowlers in the city.

BURNS TO FIGHT
JACK JOHNSON

When Joe Cans offered to bet $4,000
that Peter Jackson could defeat Tom
my Burns in a fight to a finish the
Canadian said that if he ever took on
colored boxer he wouldn't start in
with Peter Jackson first. On Saturday
evening in Los Angeles, Burns told the
writer that he would sign articles of
agreement calling for a fight with Jack
Johnson before the club Offering the
biggest purse. He said that if Pro-
moter Coffroth would hang up the $25,-
600 purse originally rendered for such
a match he would accept it, the fight
to occur within a reasonable alength of
time from this date. The challenge
hurled at him by Cans on behalf Of
Jackson is what stirred Burns up to
action, and he says in order to con-
vince the public that he is not afraid
of Johnson he will take him on Tom
my will, however, insist upon an 18-
foot ring, as he feels that in a 20 or
24-foot ring the colored champion will
resort to runaway tactics that viii not
only rob the fight of interest, but will
also cause him to get leg weary and
foot-sore chasing him. "A 10-foot ring
would suit me better than anything
else,'' said Burns. You can't make
the ring too small for me when 1 fight
Johnson"
1t win be remembered after Burns
| whipped Squires in single round Cof-
froth wanted to match him with the
coIored champion and agreed to hang
up a purse of $4,000, of which Burns
was to receive $4,000 for his end, win,
lose or draw. While Tommy claims to
! have had a prosperous theatrical tour,
/ he undoubtedly finds the grass trifie
| short in his new pasture and is anx-
| ious to return to the field where he
can gather in the mazuma with a little
more regularity and in larger wads.
/ As Burns is not fellow who diSsi-
pates he is in fairly good trim right
now and would only have to train off
the superfluous flesh that he is carry
ing around with him. In the East he
boxed on the stage at every perform
ance, in most of the towns taking on
all corners, which helped to keep him
from getting soft.
There will be no trouble in gaining
Johnson's consent. so if Coffroth feels
that the match is worth SIS, 600. to him
there is a possibility of the fight being
held at Ocean View on Thanksgiving.
when the racing season will be in full
swing al Emeryville.
Tommy said that he would cancel the
Gunner Nor match il Coffroth or any
other promoter offered him a $4,000
purse to fight johnson. Burns was ac-
cused by the Los Angeles sports OF
sidestepping Johnson when the news
was published that he was going to
England to fight the Briton.

CRACK PLAYERS
FROM THE COAST

Mike Fisher, known to baseball fans
from Vancouver to San Diego, from
the Sierras to the sea, is perfecting his
ARRANGEMENTS for an invasion of Ho-
nolulu with a ball team picked from
the best of the Pacific Coast League
players. The contracts with the Ha-
waiian management have been drawn
I'D and signed, the date has been set
for sailing, the team is practically
completed, and now nothing remains
but to climb on the big boat and Veer
off through the Golden Gate to the
land of sugar.
Those who have already signed to
go with the ex-king of Tacoma are
Eastwood, Joy, Williams, Henley, Hill
debrand, Nealon, Donahue, Casey,
Heitmuller, Eagan, Devereaux and
Bliss. They are to set sail on Novem-
Der 10Th on the steamer Alameda,
which will land them on Aloha-land
on November 22d.
A series of six games has been ar
ranged. After days rest at the Sea-
side hotel, they will play the first game
with the Hawaiian team on Saturday
the 23d and the second on Sunday the
oath. The next game will be on
Thanksgiving Day, the 28th, when spe-
cial features will be added. The fol-
lowing Saturday and Sunday there will
be other games, and on Wednesday,
December the 4th, the last game of
the series will be played. This has
been set apart as Ladies' Day, afford
ing an opportunity to the bellies of the
island TO look iongingly at Nick VIII
liams' blond curls and sigh soothingly
for Mikes toupee.
The excursion will mark the home
going of Barney Joy, and if anyone
thinks that the Honolulan will not be
given a big welcome, he is entitled to
another large guess. One Of the first
things stipulated in the contract with
the deposed king Of Tacoma was that
Joy was to pitch for the Hawaiian

succeed in defeating the Palamas next
Sunday in which case they will have
won the championship without need
of another game. In this case the Ka-
lanianaole League will change its
schedule and will play each Sunday af-
ternoon at the Aala grounds instead
of in the morning as has been the
custom.
The Chinese Athletic Club won the
championship of the first series from
the Chinese Alohas, after hard strug-
gle. In the second series they are tied
for the first place with the Palamas
and play off the tie on Sunday. II
they win they will have the cham
pionship of the season for the second
year in succession and if they lose
they still have another chance to play
the Palamas and win the champion
ship.
One Of the most interesting games
that has been seen in the Kalanianaole
League will be played next Sunday
and if the Kaala Juniors win they will
be at the head of the list for the first
series. The usual big crowd is ex-
pected at the Sunday games.
On Saturday, October 10, the Kala-
nianaole League will give 2 hard
time dance at San Antonio Hall and
the committee in charge has decided
to offer three prizes for the most origi-
nal and best sustained characters. The
last dance given was such a success
that the boys have been demanding
another and the following members of
the league have been appointed to see
that everything is carried out in the
best possible manner: NJ. I. Marshall
Jr., Ho Tong, NJ. Comes and A. K
