WHITE SOX TEAMS
WIN THEIR GAMES
Chicago Players Take Two Games
From California Teams-Ragged
Work Still Shows.

SAN FRANCISCO, Morch 5.-Chi-
cago White Sox team No. of the
American league drew first blood of
the 1909 season today by taking the
San Francisco Coast league club into
camp by a five to two score. The
game drew a big and enthusiastic
crowd, though it was but the first of
the preliminary series which the Chi
cagoans are playing in order to get
into shape for the real work of the
season. 1t was featureleSS and
rather listles exhibition of the national
sport. The men of both teams show
ed ragged work in spots and the pit
cheers were not sure of control.

NORTHCOAST BOON
IN ADAMS COUNTY
May Make a New Center.

1t is apparent that the junction to
be established on the main line IN
Adams county is to be the receiving
point for the branches to be driven
westward into Lincoln and Douglas
counties 1t is apparent that at some
place in Adams county not yet adver-
tised the North Coast promoters intend
to found a distributing center.
The most interesting feature of the
amended articles is the declaration of
the intent "to manufacture, generave,
store, use sell, lease, transmit and
distribute electric current for electric
lighting, heating and power plants,
and to sell the same to private con-
sumers within and without the limits
of municipalities. According to this
declaration it is to be surmised that
the North Coast promoters contem-
plate not only the development Of
electric feeders for the main line, bux
that they intend to engage in the
wholesale and retail distribution of
electricity for all purposes.
The articles also declare the inten-
ton of dealing in water rights, reser-
voirs, water power, mill dams, bitches
and all essentials and improvements
relating to irrigation. The intention is
further expressed in engaging In the
business of buying, selling and operat-
ing and maintaining any railroads in
the state or facilitating or assisting
in the building of any railroad of
steamship line running from cattle
to points on Puget sound or on the
Pacific. The articles likewise cover
docks, piers, warehouses and ferry
boats
The articles, in short, are expansive
enough to cover transportation
scheme of greatest magnitude. The
capital stock is to be s5,OOO,O 900, to be
divided into $4,000 shares of the par
value of 800 each, and the life of the
corporation is to be SO years.

Thought That Building of
Road Will Start
Town.

Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in by Walla Wallans as to
where the big new town is to be To-
Gated in Adams, and as to the certain
ty of the establishment of such town
as is indicated by the articles of in
corporation of the North Coast rail-
road company filed in Olympia this
week by Robert E. Strahorn, D. j.
Danson and E. D. Doyle, trustees.
Many residents of this city and vicin-
ity have property holdings in Adams
county near the proposed route of the
North Coast, and the belief that a
large city is to spring up somewhere
along the line is given much credence.
The main line, estimated to be $50
miles when constructed, will extend
from Seattle to Spokane, passing
through King, Pierce, Lewis, Yakima,
Benton, Franklin. Adams, Whitman,
and Spokane counties, states the Olym-
pia report. Walla Walla connection
is to be built from some point in Benz
ton or Franklin county, q distance of
rs miles. From some point on the
main line in Spokane county not desig-
mated a branch will be run to Farm
ington, in Whitman county, from
point in Adams county a branch will
be built to Davenport, Lincoln coun-
ty, and another to the west of Wilson
Creek, in Douglas county.
The triangular system of feeders to
be established in southeast Washing
ton would, therefore, consist of a basic
line from a point on the main line in
Benton or Franklin county to Walla
Walla, and from Walla Walla to
point on the main line in Adams
county.

CHAMP CLARK HAS
REACHED SO MARK
Missouri Statesman Will Receive Con.
gratulations of Friends in
House Tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Champ
Clark, of Pike county, Missouri, demo-
cratic leader in the house of reprsen-
natives, and one of the few men who
are making the history of the times in
America, will tomorrow receive the
congratulations of his congressional
colleagues and Missouri friends upon
attaining his 59th birthday. The Miss
ouri statesman, who is now, next to
Uncle joe Cannon, the leading fig
ure in the house, was born in An,7er-
son county, KY, on March Z, 1850, and
was originally christened James Beau
champ Clark. The James" he lost
early in life, and the "Reauchamp"
was shortened to Champ" by his Pike
county associates. The future Scion
accepted this trifling with his name In
spirit of pious resignation. and ever
since he has signed all official papers
as plain Champ Clark
Although some of the SoIons of the
effete East are inclined to smear at q
man who comes from Pike county, and
doesn't care who's knows it. they don't
do any of their sneering while Chamr
is around. In the first place. the
Missourian is more than six feet high
and that counts for something. In the
second place, he is admittedly one OF
the most learned men in congress. ant
! able by his erudition, to make mos
of the other members look like "smal
! potatoes" Thirdly, he has a cuttins
wit and capacity for satire that ism
relished in the least by those at whom
his remarks are pointed
Yet, after all, in spite of his merits
there is little chance for Champ Clarl
to accomplish anything wonderful a.
democratic leader To be minorit,
/ chief of the house is a respectable
and even an honorable job, but 1
/ doesn't get much in the congressiona
market. A long, lean, lank man from
Illinois attends to that.

VIENNA, March 6.-Conlmissioners
from every country of Europe assem-
bled in Vienna today to complete pre-
liminary plans for an international
shooting and field sports exhibition,
the first of it's kind in the worlds his
tory. Resolutions were adopted in
viting the sportsmen of the United
States and other nations of North and
South America to participate in the
held next year.
Specia sections of the exhibition are
now being rapidly pushed forward.
These special sections will be devoted
to the different countries taking
part in the exhibition, where they will
show the development and special fea-
lures of the hunting associations of
those countries, together with the vari-
.osu trades and industries in connec-
ton Herewith. The foreign commit
tees are working hand in hand with
the general commissioner and the
provincial committee, so that the pro-
gress of the exhibition moves steadily
forward along the whole line.
The German committee, which has
just been organized by the Permanent
Exhibition committee for the German
IN,
man government, held it's first meeting
in the hall of the German Parliament
The Swedish committee has been
formed in Stockholm from among the
members of the Royal Hunting club of
his majesty the king of Sweden, and
the Swedish Hunting association The
royal master of hunting, Frederic Won
Bjokkenstam, has come to Vienna to
give the necessary instructions for the

COLLEGE MAY
CHANGE RULES
BASKETBALL IN NORTHWEST
MAY BE PLAYED NEXT YEAR
UNDER NEW RULES.
Local Basketball Enthusiasts Favo
Changes, Saying 1t VIII Make
Fast Games.


Upon the opening of the basketball
season next year the intercollegiate bas-
ketball rules will, in all probability
be adopted in preference to the A. A.
U. by the colleges of the northwest.
At the w. S. C. especially there is a
strong sentiment in favor of the
change as the intercollegiate makes a
more stirring game than the A. A. T.
and makes big hit with both the spec
tators and the players.
The intercollegiate rules are used in
basketball in both the eastern and
middle western states where this game
is in much greater favor than in the
northwest.
The only difference in these rules is
that a player may shoot from a drib-
BILE and that when a ball goes out OF
bounds it is anybody's. with the ex-
ception of the man knocking it out
This is not so in the rules of the A. A
U. and it is the opinion of all who
know the game that this style of play
is more spectacular, greater enthusi-
asm being evinced at the games where
the intercollegiate rules are used than
is shown when the other system of
game is played.
