arrested for disloyalty and served
10 years at st. Helena. Against

COAST LEAGUE
after SPOKANE

Seattle, Tacoma, and either Van
couver or Spokane are badly want
ed by the Pacific Coast league.
With one or more of these cities
to draw from, the finances of the
Coast league would make a much
better showing.
These facts were brought out
by the reply Of Judge McCreedie. of
the Portland team. to a telegram
from President Dugdaie, of the
Northwestern league, offering to
buy the rights to the Portland ter
ritory from the Coast league.
McCreedie replied that the Coast
league would not part with Port
land, but would like to include Sc
attic, Tacoma, and either Spokane
or Vancouver in an eight-team
Coast league.

ORDERED TO OBEY ORDERS
President Gives the FosaiI Bureaus a
 Poke With the Big Stick.

The bureaus of the Navy Depart ment are so confirmed in the habit of doing as they please, and pleasing to do nothing they are told to do, that the Secretary of the Navy has found 1t necessary to issue a general order commanding all officers of the navy to execute orders given to them direct by the Secretary, and to report to the bureas afterward.
 In the past when an officer received such an order he sent it to the chief of the bureau that has charge of the particular line of work If it came back with an 70. K" he executed it.. If it did not come back he forgot it.. The theory was that civilian Secretar- ies and assistants had no knowledge of what should be done and their or ders would be treated merely as sug- gestions.
 Secretary Metcalf, who is merely the Presidents clerk, has given the bureau system a poke with the big stick that. may wake up some of the sleepers and put life into the depart ment The new rule certainly will be greeted jOyfully by the officers who want to get things done.
