league baseball clubs are to lose the
rate that is now being offered them to
travel between the California cities and
Portland. This announcement was
made by man in Portland who is in a
position to know these things.
Next year, instead of paying one
and one third rate, full fare will be ex-
pected. This will mean about s24 to
the man who is an ardent supporter
of the Northwestern league in that
town. A concession has always been
offered the baseball team by the rail-
roads heretofore, and the stopping of
this practice will mean much to the
league.
This move looks to be significant to
the future of of the league. OF course
Judge McCredie is strong for class
"A" organization, but with the stand
that is expected to be taken by the
Northwestern for that classification it
would look muchl as. though one of the
teams may be dropped out of that town
next year.
Portland is not drawing in the
coast like it is in the Northwestern.
While on the road in California the
Portland team received $1,000 for the
week in Frisco, while Spokane paid
Casey $40 for a week here in "B"
league. Vernon paid Portland 5000 and
Oakland and Sacramento will not meet
those figures. With more money in
sight and the same class baseball it
looks like Portland would be a North
western league town next year.

There is possibility of another

by Robert E. Strahorn Of Spokane,

siderable construction work in CEN

more than 100000 for terminal sites
in Spokane. At present the end of the
road seems to be at Alfalfa where
work is being pushed.
Mr.. Strahorn has so closely guarded
the secret of the companys financial
hackers that the road is the enigma of
the railroad world. The most plaus-

North Coast is backed by Standard

made part of the Chicago & North

O'BR|EN AND KETCHEL
IN SIX ROUND BOUT
The Pink Tea PugIist and Western
Fighter Will Try Conclusions
Before the National Athletic
Club.

PHILADELPHIA. June 9.-Weighing
in at 100 pounds at noon today, "Phila-
delphia Jack" O'Brien, the pink tea
pugilist of the Quaker City, and Stan
ley Ketchel. the crack western fight
err, are ready for tonight's six-round
encounter at the National Athletic
club. Many fight fans from New York
and other cities are here and there is
prospect of a big crowd at the ring
side tonight.
The match grew out of a dispute
about whether Ketchel could better
the showing made by Johnson in the
short space allotted and Willis Britt,
receiving a wire from Jack McGuigan,
with a big guarantee offered and the
option Of taking a percentage of the
net receipts, Immediately accepted the
terms. There was no bubble about
weight and it was O'Brien who stood
out for $50 pounds, fearing that Stan
lev would enter the ring far above
that weight, as Ketchel has been build
ing up with the object of of meeting
Johnson in October.
The match probably will draw a
greater house than that between the
negro and O'Brien as Ketchel is pop
ular in Philadelphia, through the rep
utation he gained by practically knock
ing out the Quaker fighter in ten
round battle.

In the distance runs the state col
lege is figuring on Cooirs taking firsts
in both the mile and two mile runs in
both of which he now holds the north
west records. If no two-mile race is
run he will enter the half together
with Johnson, who has already tied
the northwest record in this event.
Captain Putnam will be another big
point winner He has broad jumped
% feet and five inches this year, has
gone five feet nine inches in the high
lump, and is fast in both the hurdle
events. Montgomery of Idaho should
figure way UP in the sticks, also, as
we'll as in the 440, which he is stepping
off in fine style this year.
Charles Meade, freshman, has been
throwing the discus about 122 feet
lately, and he with Hahn, eagle and

O. A. c. with Hall and Wolff, should
take the majority of firsts in the

Pathfinders of Pacific Northwest Have
Awakened to Development
Never Dreamed of.

Pathfinders of the Pacific northwest
awakened to development and
growth never dreamed of even by it's
optimistic supporters, have laid the
foundations for what is apparent will
be the most wonderful era of railroad
buildings the nation has yet seen.
Claiming it by right of conquest,
regiment of engineers and their Level
and rod men has taken possession OF
An area of more than 100000 miles in
the northwest, extending from the Da-
kotas to Puget Sound, and in every
important portion of this span of ter
ritory the American railroad giants
ara waging the mightest struggles for
empire in the history of the world.
Engineers in the employ or lhe
Northern Pacific, the Great Northern

Sound and the Hartman systems
have worked over four great noun
tain ranges winter and summer, spy
ing out every available pass where the
railroads trains can be run safely ana
profitably The Rocky mountains OH
the east the Bitter Root range In Ida
no and Montana and the Cascades ana
Olvmpics in Washington have been
penetrated and mapped as never be-
fore. There are reports now that orc
gon will also be invaded by the path
finders.
When the Milwaukee projected It's
extension to Puget Sound, Albert ).
Earring president of the road gathered
together in conference his trusted men
in the engineering corps. Additions TO
the staff were taken from the ranks OF
the best equipped railroad engineers
in the country. They were told that
money did not count for much, but
that secrecy WIS everything. Then
thew were directed to seek out and 10
cate the best routes for the coast ex-
tension and it's branch line construc-
ton to follow later, the project IN
volving an expenditure of s200,OO0'ooo
or more.
Since that day the railroad engineer
has been king of the Pacific northwest
H. has gone about his work by devious
but at all times certain ways. More
than one man at the head of secret
parties for the Earring and Hartman
systems has had hundreds of thou
sands of dollars at his disposal for the
purchase of rights-bf- way in the mar
row CANYONS on the Olympic peninsu-

Cascades and the Bitter Root noun

It is a matter of record that an en-
gineer in the employ Of Earring saved
his company 100000 by quick and 1u-
dicious application of the money test
to a man who owned body of timber
in the Olympic peninsula, where future
operations of the Milwaukee road Will
be on an extensive scale.
These engineers have threaded every
mountain pass and timbered area IN
the Pacific northwest. They have gone
through the grain and fruit belts in
eastern Washington and central ldaho'

tricts in the Columbia River valley
for rights-o way, and have kept their

Not only is Mr. Morton by far the

PULLMAN DOPED
TO TAKE MEET
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON WILL
NOT ENTER TEAM ON AC-
COUNT OF EXAMS
Washington State College to Send
Team Of is Men, Many of Whom
Hold Northwest Records.

Now that the conference meet is
again on, and it is at last assured that
will meet on the track within the next
week, speculation is rife as to the
ever held in this section.
Judging on the merits of past per-
and the University of Oregon, will be
strong contestants for first place hon
makes Pullman especially strong. From
a comparison of the records made by
situations. it would appear that the
state college of Washington has the
advantage.
Alumni and undergraduates dope
sters' are figuring on the state college
Gus trouble this year. Many of these
estimate that the Pullman institution
will carry. away about so points for
their share.
Jack Nelson, Pullmans great sprint
err, looks to be a sure winner in the
short dasheS If he enters all three-
the 100, 200 and 440-the chances look
good for his taking the trio. However.
a man in training for the quarter loses
much Of his sprint for the other two.
and if he trains exclusively for the
100 and 22O yard dashes, he is sure to
lose some of his power in the quarter.
So it is probable that Nelson will
be entered in but two of these events.
With Coe and Lowry to back him up
the state college may be able to land
another place or two in these events,
Martin of Whitman and Montgomery
of Idaho, will make a hard pair for
Nelson to oppose.
