 T desire to congratulate It's mem bers upon having completed the most successful season in the history of the game despite what this Is termed in business circles a hard year
 Not only has it been a success from the sportsman standpoint but from a financial standpoint as well. The race fh itself is one of the most remark able in history and the winner of the race in the pennant was not known un- til the last ball was pitched in the last game played at Nashville on Sep tember 19 and that before the largest crowd that has ever attended a game of baseball in the south if not the largest attendance at any game ever played in minor associations and in passing we should note the fact that this exciting and spectacular finish was not marred by any wrangling or boist- erous conduct or any other event that could bring discredit upon or cause the least criticism of the game" President Kavanaugh referred to the fact that I've were a member of what | is termed class A in the national as- sociation of professional baseball clubs and we still retain that position, al | though strenuous efforts have been made i during the past season to depose our association. These efforts to date have ! been successfully resisted"

MAY TURN DOWN
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Want Competition in Handling of
Freights for Aqueduct Work
and Confer with Rival
interests

The city administration is declared
to be in favor of turning down the
Southern Paeific's bid for freight trans
u .tation In connection with the Owens
valley aqueduct.
Aqueduct and city officials have for
several days been in conference with
President S. P. Jewett of the Los An
geles & Owens Valley line, in the hope
of persuading Mr.. Jewett to build the
line from Mojave north instead of south
from Round valley to Rodriguez, where
it taps the Santa Fe.
The result will be to encourage COM
petition in owens valley.
By getting Endorsement of its survey
maps from the interior department the
Southern Pacific practically froze out
it's young competitor, the latter claims.
Aqueduct officials are inclined to be-
lieve that the Southern Pacific not
only took advantage of the city by
making a higher bid than was expected
but it had also cinched certain rights
of way through government land.
Relief has been asked of the New
York office of the company, and when
a reply comes important developments
may be looked for.

The report, though less volcanic than

and found Justice of the Peace Martin

the Victorville precinct, on the desert,
guilty of gross negligence of duty" and
recommended their immediate dis

This recommendation grows out OF
several sensational shooting affrays
lately occurring on the desert.
The recommendation is made in the
list of general recommendations Of the
report, which further draws attention
to the positions occupied by DR.. ID. G.
Strong, who is county health officer
and superintendent of the county hos

outside of these two positions, which
the report declares makes it impossible
for him to properly fill the duties OF

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Feb. o.
Speaking before a university assembly
this morning, Chester II. Rowell, edi-
tor of the Fresno Republican, bitterly
denounced the present state govern
ment and it's connection with the South
ern Pacific machine.
1.-THE legislative department of this
state is a roaring farce" said the
speaker, "only saved from tragedy by
its utter helplessness. The executive
department is dictated to by the hired
servant of a foreign corporation. The
judicial department is now under sus-
picion, and that suspicion Is just.
Even our very sense of crime and in
nocence has given way to class feeling"
Mr. Rowell made a strong plea for
college men to get out into politics and
fight existing conditions. incidentally,
he said that unless Japanese immigra-
ton was stopped the Pacific coast would
face race problem far more serious
than that in the south today.
