WHO IS HAL CHASE ?

"Miuue" Fisher writes that hal
Chase may come with that Coast team
to Hawaii. Here is how Chase Is
written up in Eastern papers:
Hal Chase first and the rest no.
where. This is the way critics clas-
sify him when they dope up the first
basemen of the major leagues. Chase
Is the Peter Pan of baseballdom. No
player outclasses his rivals like Hal.
If you ask who is the champion pitch
Ter, or the best catcher, or the fastest
shortstop, you raise an argument
anon. But if you mention first base,
all voices chorus one name-Hal
Chase. A writer on the New YORK
Evening World says:
Were it not for Hal Chase the
Highland infield would have rec
ord for long-distance throwing in
tead of banging at bulls eye. II
there ever was a ball-player who
| worked to save his fellow-man that
player is none other than Harold
Chase of San Jose. He takes throws
on the ground, in the air and with
English on either side that would
make many a first baseman look like
ocko, of the Zoo, in action.
Lose Chase and Griffith would
have to reorganize the entire infleld
Day after day his wonderful stops
keeps names out of the error column
and all the time he never says
word. He IS the keystone OF the
American League team, and wheI
IGriffith granted him a few added
rhekels he got nothing more thar

1.-THE marvellous playing OF Chase
at first made Elberfield a great short
stop. 1t helped both Laports ant
Moriarty to hold their jobs, and jim

IA man like Chase is often a Diet

DIFFER
MATERIALLY ON
SOIL THEORIES

Berkeley, Aug. PROF. E. w.
Hilgard, the soil expert, who for
more than 80 years directed the des-
TIMES of the university's department
of agriculture, has punctured bub-
BILE put forth by DR.. Milton Whitney
of Washington, declaring in few
we'll chosen words today that DR..
Whitney's recent announcement of a
discovery revolutionizing all theories
of soil fertilization is absurd, unten-
able, dangerous and futile.
Doctors do not always agree. and
in this instance two of the most able
soil experts of the land have locked
horns in dealing with problem of
vital Importance to agriculturists.
! DR.. Whitney is at the head of the
bureau of soils of the department OF
agriculture in Washington, d. c. He
contends that the old theory about
the exhaustion of soil by successive
growths of crops is erroneous; that
plants merely leave toxic substance
in the soil, which sometimes operates
disastrously to other plants; that 1t
is nonsense to suppose that success
sive crops taken from the soil such
chemical elements as phosphates, nj
trate or potash. Professor whitney's
words OH the subject, which have

BALL TOSSERS TO Japan

What a grand trip that would be.
Why it would almost equal the trip OF
he lucky seven Bulletin girls.
Now If those Japanese really want to
learn baseball they could make no bet
ter move than to import Pat Gleason
and his tribe of leather chasers. These
lads are capable of showing the little
men across the pond some of the fine
points of the game, and when That
string of south hand hitters came to-
The plate with the big stick those
brown men would think that Russian
attack was in order. The chances are
that the st. Louis team could make
the players of Keio and Waseda Uni
versities look foolish In game OF
ball. Still it is claimed that the play
ers of Japan are fast.
Now, If the game of baseball at
Toxic will draw $4,000 people at 25c
head, as the report states, there
would not be the slightest trouble IN
defraying the expenses which is stated
would be $4,000. Just think, $4,000
people at Csc each would mean $12,500.
All that the boys would have to do
would be to play one game of ball and
| hey would get enough coin to travel
around the world. If these figures are
hue little or no trouble will be found
in getting expense money. 1t is a
| wonder that John McGraw don't get
wise to those big gates in Japan.
| Talk about promotion work. III
seems as though baseball is the real
thing Just now. With big team COM
ing from the Coast and team OF oul
own going to Japan, the sporting writ
ers all over the land must work over
time to keep the public in line with
Hawaiian baseball. Barney Joy has
done much to put Hawaii on the map
The managers on the Coast are be
ginning to open their peppers and have
(. look out for Dick Reuter-. If we arr
not sadly mistaken you will soon SCI
something drop in regard to Hampton
md Evers the two best ball players OF
Hawaiian soil today. Here are two
lads that would be valuable men II
any team.
To come back to that trip OF tn
local st. Louis team to Japan. II thi
comes to pass the boys will certain
have the trip of their lives, and the
would all like to go. 1t might be har
for some of them to get away from
their positions but the chances are tina
; q good strong team could be gathere
that would well represent Hawaii Tn
proposition should be boosted RICH
down the line and everything done I
help the boys make the trip.

aroused DR.. Hilgard to combat, are
in part as follows:
II is evident that the mere addition
or subtraction of chemical elements
from the soil will not determine the
fertility of the soil.
In plain and unscientific language
the new theory of soil fertility is that
plants secrete their own poison. That
is to say, every plant leaves behind 1t
in the soil some sort of soil when Is
Injurious to it's own growth, and an
other crop coming along in the same
place has to fight with this substance.
These substances are called toxic SUD-
stances, which is only another WORD
for poison.
Replying to DR.. Whitney's strange
theory. Professor Hilgard said today:
This theory, which Professor Whit
.ey seems to think is new, was al
yanced, discussed and exploded hun
bred years or so ago. This Is not the
only time that Professor Whitney mas
advanced new theory calculated u
upset and overthrow everything tha'
has been learned uD to the present
time regarding soils, their nutrition
chemical constituents and physica
conditions in relation to the part the!
play in connection with the life an(
growth of plants.
Professor Whitney has been proved
wrong so often that the farmers in the
Mississippi valley and the West ne
longer take him seriously. He seems
to be afflicted with burning desire t(
prove everybody and everything els'
wrong. His narrow views are unfort
innate because the publication OF MI
official bulletins, which are supposed
to be law and gospel with the farmers
ran and do work incalculable harm.
This they'y Of the plants poisonin'
themselves is utterly absurd, and 10
The same reasons that proved Pro
fessor Whitney's hypothesis, advanced
some fifteen years ago, to the eHec
that fertilizers act, not by conveying
nourishment to plants, but by modify
ing the physical texture of the SOIL

CONGRESS MAY
 INTERFERE In Letting Contract for the Construction of the Pan ana Canal-Bids Submit ted Vary.
OLIVER AND BANGS
Present Lowest Bid, Which Is 6.7j Per Cent of the Total Cost of Con. struction-Wide Discrepancy in Judgment of Contractors.

Special to Graphic.
 Washington, D. G., Jan. 21.-Ap- prehension is felt in administration circles that congress may interfere in the letting of the contract for the construction of the Panama canal. The bids made a few days ago for supervision of the actual digging of the great waterway varied materially in the percentage of the cost of the canal which the contractors propose to charge. The lowest bid was that of Oliver & Bangs, 6.75 per cent of the total cost of construction. One of the bids WAS as high as 2S per cent of the cost. The difference indicates a wide discrepancy either in the judgment of the contractors or in their understanding of the pro- posals submitted to them.
 The proposals were most care fully drawn and were somewhat voluminous. After they had been prepared by the legal authorities of the Panama canal commission, they were revised by Secretaries Taft and Root, two of the foremost law yers in the cabinet or in the coun- try. Despite the care manifested in their preparation, the proposals are scarcely understood the same way by any two persons who have read them.
 The government is not particu- larly concerned, however, as to that feature of the matter. The contractors are assumed to know what they are doing and the suc- cessful bidder will have o take the responsibility for his contract.
 A disposition ism anifested in congress to direct, by law, what sort of labor shall be employed on the canal. The labor organizations of the country are opposed to the use of Chinese labor or coolie labor

MAMMOTH MILL
 ID MOVE HERE To Manufacture Paper from the Pulp of White Pine Grown in This County in Abundance.
IT'S A REGENT FIND
Definitely Decided to Move Plant Here That Will Give Employment to More Than 400 People-Result of Efforts of Tax Payers League.

It is authoritively stated that mammoth paper mill, which will give employment to more than four hundred persons, will soon be es- tablished in this city. The plant, it is said, is to be moved here from Michigan by Northern capitalists, who recently discovered that an ex- cellent quality of paper can be man. ufactured from the pulp of white pine, which grows in this county in abundance.
 At the recent meeting of the Tax payers League, of which Captain J. B. Johnson is secretary, it was stated that the Northern capitalists had decided favorab1y upon the es- tablishment of the paper mill at this place.
 Some weeks ago Captain John son was asked to send samples of white pine to the Michigan pro- motors, that the pulp might be in- spected and tested as to it's use for the manufacture of paper. A large amount of the white wood was sent the mill owners. Several days after it's receipt at the Michigan point a telegram was received here by Cap tain Johnson requesting him to send two car loads of the white pine to the mill. Later information from that place is to the effect that the white pine grown here is of more value to the manufacturers of paper than the wood which they have been using for years in and around Kalamazoo, Mich, which has one of the largest paper mills in the world
 Captain Johnson will give out no definite information just now re- garding the removal of the plant here, but it is authoritively stated that the promoters of the new Pine Bluff mill have definitely decided to come here.

more than $60,000. It will be complet- ed and ready for occupancy by Sep- tember 1.
 The proposed structure is to take the place of the Pine street building, now used by the High School schol- ars. The property purchased some weeks ago on Main street is to be re- tained by the School Board and an ad- ditional school building erected upon it at later day.
 All of the schools of the city are crowded this year and there is a pos sibility of another contract being let at near future day for the erection of the Main street school, to accom- modate Lakeside children.

The resolution brought forth cries of

plete, it can be stated with the highest authority that Arkansas will be pro- vided for with the following apprcpri- ations: For snagging Arkansas river, $115,O0O, including unexpended ball. ance of $s0,000 of last year; $1O0,0o0 to prevent cutoff in Arkansas and White rivers in Pine Bluff and Aug usta (this appropriation is made con- tingent upon a recommendation by government engineers that the ex- penditure is made contingent upon a recommendation by government engi- neers that the expenditure is in inter- est of navigation); $75,O00 for con- struction of lock and dam No. 3, in White river, near Batesville; $60,000 for improving Red river above Full ton; and $150,000 for improvements be- low Fulton; for snagging St. Francis river, 5000; Cache river, 5000, and almost like sums for Black and Cur rent rivers. Ouachita river is also provided for, but the exact amount has not yet been decided upon, and an appropriation is made for levee construction below Cape Girardeau, so as to prevent the flooding of the St. Francis basin in Arkansas.
 A part of a $3,OO0,0O item for use of the Mississippi River Commission will be used for this purpose, with a view to determining practical plan of improving the Arkansas river and establishing the all-the-year-round navigation between Muskogee, I. T., and the mouth. The bill otherwise will authorize the secretary of war to appoint a board of competent en- gineers to go to Arkansas and the Indian Territory to report on the sit- uation According to Representative Reid, this will make it possible for the different boards of trade and com mercial clubs of the state to meet with the Board of Engineers and confer about the proposed improvement of the river and will result in an ex- change of views mutually beneficial. This piece of legislation is personal triumph for Congressman Joe T. Rob- inson and C. c. Reid, and as regard ed here will either make or unmake the Arkansas river commercial highway.

Mrs. J. Sidney Villere and Mother File Afidavits in Cheeks Court
 to Recover Property At-


 tached. The hearing to determine the legal value of writ of attach. ment which was recently executed against Mrs. J. Sidney Villere by Theo Wollermann, has been dock eted in Justice Cheeks court for January 29. Mrs. Villere and mother, Mrs. F. o.
