 We are informed by an authority on birds that the two snow-white gulls or the TreadwelI flats which have caused so much comment of late are speci- mems of the glaucus, or Arctic gull, which are commoner farther north, but rarely find their way here.
 Mr. Martin JeGne, an old time Tread wellite but now an inhabitant of the fruit belt of Eastern Washington, has been a Treadwell visitor for several days on business. Incidentally he dls- posed of about six hundred boxes or Washington apples which he brought up with him. He will leave tonight on tbe Al-Ki.

The Douglas Island News complains that there are four churches but "nary'' preacher in Douglas City. If Yukon could prevail on Douglas City to ac- cept one of her preachers and then slough off two on them when they wer'nt looking, it would be the cause of general rejoicing throughout the territory. But it would be a measley trick to play on the Dougalasites.- Whitehorse Star.

PASADENA, May s.-That wealthy
members of the Annandale Golf club
are planning to bring the finest in
structor obtainable to the club for
next season was made public today
when 1t was learned that upwards of
$500 has already been subscribed for
the purpose, and the fund is to be con-
siderably enlarged before next fall by
further private subscription.
1t is said that the club members have
In mind two men who are now engaged
with clubs near New York city, either
one of whom could be referred to as an
expert of the highest class. The new
man will have his headquarters at Flo
tel Green and will show Southern CAL
ifornia golf In its most approved style.
At the same time Il Is announced
that between two and three thousand
dollars will be spent on the Annandale
golf course during the coming summer.
Ill the green's will be leveled and bunk
ers are being placed between the fifth
and sixth and seventh and eighth holes
at standard distances. One of the most
important pieces of work Is that at the
fifth green. which will be made abso-
lutely level and will be enlarged to a
diameter of over sixty-five feet, maxi
Ing It the largest on the coast.
Golf experts who have played on
all the prominent courses of the coun-
try state that the proposed improve
ments will make the Annandale course
the best In the United States, its adj
vantages from a scenic and climatic
point of view being already unrivaled.
The placing o. the bunkers at standard
distances will be to the advantage of
the expert player, as the ball of the
man who does not drive high and hard
will not roll down an easy slope as 1t
otherwise would.

INFAMOUS LAW
IS REPEALED
NEW MEXICAN LEGISLATION
TO BE KILLED
ACTION TAKEN OF GREATEST
IMPORTANCE
Measure Dealing with Personal ln-
Iuries Sustained on Railroads De-
nounced by Senators and
Representatives


AbSDGldNou
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Under sus-
pension of the rules the house today,
on a yea and nay vote, passed unani-
mously the senate resolution repeating
the act of the territorial legislature OF
New Mexico, which was passed over
the governors veto March II, 1908.
The territorial act deals with civil
proceedings in personal injury cases.
The resolution now goes to the presi-
dent for his signature, having passed
the senate in March.
Mr.. Birdsall of Iowa, having the bill
in charge, declared the law was the
most remarkable piece of legislation
ever enacted. Instead of being an
act to regulate the law and procedure
in certain cases." he said, 1t should be
entitled "An act to prevent the recov-
erv of damages for injury received in
accidents or otherwise upon railways
within the territory of New Mexico"
1t was, he asserted, an iniquitous act
of the legislature and demonstrated the
wisdom of a law giving to congress the
absolute control over the legislation OF
territories. The passage of the resolu-
ton was urged by Mr.. Henry OF Iexas'
who characterized the act of the leg1s-
Iature as infamous.
In the opinion of Mr.. Clayton OF Ala
bama, no layman could read the law
of the legislature without being horri-
fed at its outrages. That law, he
charged, was passed at the instance OF
railroads, which, he said, tyrannized
the people of New Mexico and deprived
them of justice.

PEARL, FAMOUS CANADIAN
HIGH JUMPER, is DEAD

Pearl is dead-yes, Pearl, the famous
Canadian high-jumper, still far from
aged and SO recently possessed of all
her powers and that courage which
won the admiration of every noble
breast. Only last season she was en-
tered for the International special class
at Olympia, London, though not taken
over by reason of her close engage
ment at Montreal. And the veterinar-
ian says that after her death he could
find no red blood in her veins! Cour-
age on water alone-but what courage.
1t must have simply been in her dear
head, as 1t showed forth from her
blessed eyes. She simply was all cour-
age, as with fatal disease attacking
every vein and muscle and cutting at
her strings the writer saw her
up and away, turn, dash like bird and
rise to the rails as rocket clear of that
astounding height, with rider up feet
inches. Only year ago.
She was expected in the English show
this June, where prize for an English
record seemed in her line. Interest in
her life is accentuated by the peculiar
conditions which eventuated in her de-
mise.

AMERICAN GAME TAKES
STRONG HOLD IN ENGLAND
Baseball Slowly Unfolds Itself to the
Sports of Great Brltain-Old
Time Players Are
There

NEW YORK, May 10-Basebali is
taking root slowly but surely in Eng
land, and, judging from the rather
prosperous campaign or 1907 and the
preparations that have been made for
the sport this year, the indications are
very bright that Americas national
game will have the greatest success in
London and vicinity.
AS evidence of the interest taken in
the sport last year, Nelson p. Cook,
writing from Newcastle-on-Tyn to
James E. Sullivan, says: I'm the last
ten years I have been present at most
of our great football contests, when the
spectators numbered anywhere from
10000 to 100000, and 1 certainly have
never seen such enthusiasm as was dis
played by the Clapton followers when
their team won the British baseball
cup for the first time"
Efforts to advance the game have
been confined chiefly to London. but in
many places in the provinces much in
terest has been aroused. Hull, York,
Coventry, Reading, Southend, Tum-
bridge Wells. all in England, and
Cardiff, Swansea and Newport in
Wales, have made a fairly satisfactory
start, but they are situated so far from
London that the authorities there can
render but little assistance.
Mr.. Cook says that among the Amer
leans who have done yeoman service
in establishing baseball in England are
j. F. Woolrich of San Francisco, son
of the former British consul at Mexico;
w. c. J. Kelly. formerly assistant Sec
rotary of the Public Schools Athletic
league of New York city; Billy Hayes
of Newark. N. j.; Billy Olive, an old
lion IN. W boy; Beans of Swarth-
more college, Hopkins of John Hopkins
university of Baltimore, Fine of Provi-
dence, Sam Ruhe of Philadelphia, Ted
Everett of Buffalo, Holland of Chicago,
Turner of Bangor, Me-; Page and Wall
ter Gehre of Baltimore, H. A. Reed
and McCullom of Chicago, Angilly of
Providence, Kent of Brown university,
T. F. Keegan of Stamford Conn, and
Frank O'Brien and Drs. Heebe and Dill
lon of the Northwestern university. In
addition to these, one of the clubs had
the assistance of Paul Dickey and
Frank Boun of the "Strongheart" COM
pany, in which Robert Edeson was the
star. Then there are the Strawson
brothers, pitcher and first baseman,
who, though British born, spent much
time in Brooklyn a few years ago;
Jarman, pitcher, who came to America
when he was boy and only returned
a couple of seasons ago, while Marsh,
catcher and second baseman, captained
the team of the battleship Brooklyn.
