Soccer Teams Trip Is
AImOSt Certain
Series of Games i'm North viii
Probably Be Arranged for
Early Spring
By Bob Shand

The proposed tour of a California
soccer team through the northwest Is
the main topic of conversation among
the local enthusiasts of the round ball
game. and the news that the trip IS
almost an assured fact viii be hailed
with delight.
Secretary sam Goodman Of the Cali
fOrnia football association has been IN
communication with the officials of the
Pacific association football lea~ue for
some time and tentative agreeIanent
was made last week 10 take CalltoI
MA team through the northern COuilIs
during the Christmas holidays. Al a
meeting Of the northern pooy nelu l
Monday evening, however, II Nas
deemed inadvisable 10 entertain the
Californians at that time on account OF
the uncertainty OF the weather ana the
fact that the teams have scheduled nA-
lures TO fulfill and the proposed games
with tie visitors at that time would
upset their schedule. II was pracllca4-
ly decided at the meeting that oates
would be set apart for the local ioot7
ballers in April when both the 1ocat
and the northern league schedules
would be completed and the weather
could be relied upon Another meeting
lea que viii be held December II az
Ladysmith and the entire matter VIII
be gone over again and proposltloh
submitted TO the California assoclauOh'
-
land Tacoma. Spokane. Seattle VIC
tOria and Vancouver but on account OF
the additional expense Of visiting
spokane that city has been dropned
from the route and LadySmith ana
Nanatno added. All these teams. with
the exception Of Portland, are members
of the Pacifc Coast league.
Goodman estimates the expenses OF
the trip at SSO0, and il is expected that
the northern fOOtballers viii be able 10
guarantee this amount AS the Caiifor-
mans viii play seven games 1t Woulo
seem an easy matter TO make the tour
q financial success, as the gate receipts
al each game would only have 10 aver
age a little more than 500. This esti-
mate does not. however, provide for the
plavers' board bills including only
travelling and hotel expenses. 1t is eX-
pected. however, that the men lucky
enough 10 get on the team VIII be only
too glad TO pay a little something out
Of their own pockets.
The selection Of a representative
team viii not prove a hard matter un-
der the circumstances. as many OF the
best players viii. in all probability, be
unable to make the trip on account OF
their business interests here AS 10
the chances of a California eleven
against the Pacific Coast leaguers, IT is
the general opinion that the local men
viii be more than match for their
hosts There are many excellent play
ers In the California league and II the
team Is picked with judgment an
eleven can be selected which VIII be a
credit To the state.

GREAT QUARTZ LEDGE
NEAR NOME is BONDED
Stamp Mill Will Be Erected to
Work Rock Declared
Very Rich
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

TACOMA. Nov. 19.-An immense mass
of decomposed quartz known as the
Newton Gulch dixie, distant from Nome
about three miles, has been bonded by
the owners to w. A. Chilberg and 9TH
ers, who will place stamp mill on the
property next spring.
The ledge was discovered last
summer by August Hamburger and
Mike Young, who prospected it for
placer gold, not knowing until recently
of decomposed quartz They sank one
hole l30 feet, where they found for
nation the same as that on the sur
face. From top to bottom they found
1t possible to rock out small wages and
to prove by assays that tailings were
valued at several dollars per ton. One
assay showed values as high as $117 to
a ton.
Young and Hamburger have traced
the BODY of the decomposed ore the
whole length of their claim and for
width of SO feet. Taking its depth into
account, 1t may be safely said that $50
100000 is in sight along two or three
miles of this great dixie. Some of the
stun has been sent to the Tacoma
smelter for testing.

MEXICAN WAR VETS

Heroes Observe Anniversary of
Dedication of National Gene
terry at Gettysburg
Mayor Taylor, James D. Phelan,
j. R. KnowIand, julius Kahn
and Others Speak

Barely score Of gray heads gathered
around small board in the huge banquet
room of the Hotel Argonaut yesterday
afternoon to celebrate significant oc-
casion-the anniversary of the dedi-
cation of the National cemetery at
Gettysburg by Abraham Lincoln. The
white haired men were Mexican war
veterans, and all had been the heroes
Of many a campaign at the time Lincoln
was country lawyer. At the head of
the table as honor guests sat men of a
younger generation, yet men OF years
and dignity in today's world of action.
These We're DR.. Edward r. Taylor. may
or of San Francisco; James d. Phelan,
former mayor of San Francisco, and
Congressman Joseph r. Knowland and
Julius Kahn.
Toasts to the stirring days of yore,
the peace of the present; to the lead
ers of old; to the crusaders of now and
to the president elect, William Howard
Taft, were drunk standing with i'm
pressive ceremony. Personal reminis-
cences of times of dim history, stories
of the past by men who had been
through three wars. and hopeful ad
dresses facing toward the future were
the order of the occasion.
Mayor Taylor paid respectful tribute
to his hosts in opening his address,
Wnen he said:
When [ stand before you Mexican
war veterans / feel that I am facing
men whom we never can sufficiently
honor. Men who in the flush of early
manhood, by their courage, their high
Ideals, their dauntless pride of race,
gave US California. But little did they
know of the greatness, of the wealth
OF this land which they had bought with
blood-the blood of their own wounds
and OF the unnumbered dead. For Cali
fornfa is great Great beyond the
hopes of our fathers, great even be-
yond the dreams of the poet-great be-
yond imagination. We front on a vast
ocean and stand as sentinels of our ma
tlon. We hold wondrous future in
our grasp. And it behooves US to seize
the opportunity at our DOORS"

REORGANIZE BOAT CLUB
Stanford Student Body Now
Controls Aquatic Activity

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. 10
Boating has been placed on a sound
student body basis at Stanford univer-
sity. In the last few years the boating
men have not been affiliated with the
other student body activities, but last
night at meeting of the executive
committee of the Associated Students it
was decided to take over all the affairs
of the boating men as formerly con-
trolled by the Stanford boat club and
make this activity part of the student
body functions.
BY the change the student body takes
over all outstanding debts of the boat
club, as we'll as the shells, barges and
skiffs. The property of the boat club is
estimated as worth $500, while the debts
amount to 1925.
The captain of the Stanford Rugby
squad for next year will be named when
the team and substitutes who played in
the game meet in Palo Alto Saturday
afternoon. Speculation is rife on the
campus to who will be chosen for the
enviable position.
William Koerner of Portland Ore. a.
veteran of the varsity football team of
four years standing, was today award
ed the four stars in addition to the
last year of the team and played a star
game in the front rank of the serum.
He occupied this position SATURDAY.. The

some Of the speak rs seemed to max,
he plea for an 80 or l60-acre tract, or
he ground that the quality Of the soi'
yas not sufficiently good to make it pos

tract, but the opinion OF the great body
i men present seemed to consider it not
a question Of soil fertility, but of the
proposition Of dealing with new land,
which in any section il a drawback to
prosperous farming. The general senti-
ment throughout the wh le meeting
was that if the farm unit is cut down,
me great tract Of the couatry now set
tied by homesteaders would be vacated.
D. R. Hubbard, in short address,
gave it as his opinion that 50 acres is
the very smallest tract that can sustain
a family.
D. w. Ross spoke briefly and ex-
pressed his belief that the matter Of re-
porting on the conditions had been sub
mitted to the committe and gave it as
his opinion that the committee. selected

ment.
