team which visited Pullman this year.

Ivan has been quite sick since the
conference meet and was at Chehal-
lis, with his sister, for several days.
He stopped eff at Davenport to visit
his parents enroute home. He will
leave for Seattle again Saturday.
In conversation with the Herald
reporter Ivan told why tae w, s. c..
athletes had signed to run for Seat
tie in the A. A. U. meet. He said:
1--WE had agreed to run for Spokane,
and expected to 10 SO, but Spokane
was to furnish us work during va
cation. We waited patiently for the
work but dill not get it. When we Pp-
piled there we're no jobs for MS and
the committee did not even know
what kind of work we wanted nor
had they taken any action to secure
positions for us. We were ready,
willing and anxious to run for Spo-
kane, but we could not lay idle all
summer in order to do so. After
waiting patiently until it seemed
hopeless, we signed up with Seattle,
and mad good jobs ready for US the
next day. Nelson is working in the
city hall and l can go to work as
soon as l get hack. | don't know
what Cool is doing. We would
rather have run for Spokane but that
town did not do as it agreed and we
had to look out for our own in

Curious Uses of Baskets by Mexicans.


Perhaps the most curious use to
which Mexicans put their baskets is
to hold gamecocks. Sometimes the
cocks basket is woven for the pur.
pose, oftener it is made from som.
brero, the wide, high-crowned straw
hat of the country, into which the
bird is put, a hole cut in the crown to
give him air, and the brim carefully
tied down that he may not escape.
The bull fight has been called the ma
tional sport of Mexico, but cock fight
ing is much more universal for the
humblest peasant may have his game
cock which he keeps in carefully
made cage in his patio, watches with
pride and tends with care.
One of the strangest uses to which
a basket has probably ever been put
was the daily appearance in the
streets of young man carrying in
huge bushel basket on his shoulders
his great-grandmother of unknown
age, who held out skinny hand to the
passersby for the centavo which was
almost unfailingly given. Surely

SECTION HAND BECOMES
PRESIDENT OF RAILROAD
Remarkable Rise of w. C. Brown to
Head of the Great New York
Central Systems.

New York, February 1.-W. c.
Brown, who started life as a section
hand, today assumed the presidency
of the New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad Company, succeeding
w. H. Newman. Mr.. Browns rise
from the humblest station to the high
est in one of the greatest railway sys.
TENS of the world forms a remarkable
commentary on the opportunities open
to ambitious Americans.
Many king rules over less of an
empire than that which now passes
under Mr.. Browns control. The New
York Central has a peaceful standing
army Of 100000 employees. Its expen-
ditures annually are not less than
15O,OOO,OOO, Of which $75,000,0 900
comes from the parent railroad alone.
Few are the offices of State which
compare in dignity and power with the
headship of a great railroad system.
The New York Central system COM
prises ten roads-the New York Cen
trail and Hudson River, the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern, the
Michigan Central, the Cleveland, Gin
cinnati, Chicago and st. Louis, the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie, the Lake
Erie and Western, the Chicago, Indi-
ana and Southern, the Lake Erie AL
lance and Wheeling, the Rutland, and
the Indiana Harbor Railroad of I'LL
nois. 1t also operates the Boston and
Albany Railroad under lease.
The man who now rules over this
railroad empire not only began at the
bottom but climbed practically every
rung of the ladder. Before he was
sixteen years old-he is now fifty-five
he had become section hand on the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul. The
runges of the ladder from that starting
point are labeled telegraph operator,
train dispatcher, assistant superinten-
dent, superintendent, general manager
vice-president.
Although Mr.. Brown was born in
Herklmer county he started his rail-
road life In the west, and there as a
little frame house at Waterloo, Iowa,
where he and his bride began humbly
their career together He was the sort
