League Asks Better Rates

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19.-
discussion of the problem of COM
mutation railroad rates from San
Francisco to San Mateo county points
was the chief business of the last reg
ular meeting of the Peninsula promo
ton league. The discussion was start
ed by the reading of a long communi-
tion from Paul Shoup of the Southern
Pacific company, in which 1t was stated
that the peninsula Communication rates
compared favorabIy with those in the
east. Shoup also said, Good train SER
vice is more essential to the peninsula
than any change of rate possibly could
be. | know that you don't want any
change that would bring with it the
operating necessity of longer and
slower trains.
The comparisons of eastern and local
rates made by Shoup was questioned,
and the transportation committee was
instructed to secure independent data
on that subject.
A committee was appointed to have
the legislature change the seawall
bill now pending to provide for an ex-
tension down the bay beyond the San
Mateo county line, instead of being ex-
tended inland at Islais creek
The election of officerrs of the league
to serve during 1909 resulted as fol-
lows: President, w. j. Martin, South
San Francisco; vice president, H. n.
Royden, San Mateo; secretary. w. e.
Crossman, Sunnyvale; assistant secre-
tary, e. /. Woodman, South San Fran

Interest in Walnut Growing

Great interest is being taken in the
raising of Franquette waInuts for profit
at Santa Rosa. Prospective growers
are looking in this direction for their
walnut lands because this soil has al
ready proved itself admirably adopted
to the raising of walnuts 1t is deep
and rich, and the tree thriyes exceed :
ingly in It, Conservative investors find
this Is most satisfactory way to spend
their money-that is buy the walnut
land and have it planted with young
Franquette trees. Great success is an
| ticipated.
The growing of walnuts is a tom
paratively new industry, but it is well
past the experimental stage. The
Franquette variety has found a home
at Santa Rosa. Experience in the past
has taught the grower just how to
plant this variety. 1t has been found
advisable to graft scions of the heavily
bearing Franquette trees to the native
black walnut stock Best results have
been obtained from this method The
Vrooman grove adjacent to Santa Rosa
has produced large crops from the
Franquette scion.
Orchard addition. which is adjacent
, to Santa Rosa and in the neighborhood
| of this successful grove, is attracting
great interest. This tract is being sold
by the Noble-Jones company of San
Francisco. Their methods are new and
up to date, both in the planting of the
land and the modern selling plan.
The method SO far followed has been
to pay one-fifth of the price of the
land down and pay the balance in easy
monthly installments.
The sale of this property is going on
at a steady rate. There has been no
boom in the sale of this land; neither
has there been any slaekening of ready
buyers. This is an actual proof of it's
value as an investment. Those who
buy have become enthusiastic adver-
tfsers for the company.
The Noble-Jones company is con-
Quoting excursions to Santa Rosa.

Every mother knows what lot of fun
the baby gets out of crawling about the
floor and making its tiny self just as dirty
as little pig.
But every mother has looked with
alarm at the array of baby clothes to be
washed on Monday morning.
And every one has seen with despair
how the delicate little garments are cooked
to pieces in the destructive washboiler.
But all that was before the Fels-Naptha
wash-way became known.
The Fels-Naptha way means that
baby soiled clothes are cleansed quickly in
cool or lukeWarm water without the roast
ing fire, summer or winter-without the
seething suds, without the terrific back
breaking rub, rub, rub.
What's the RESULT Why

an InquisitiOn That
Causes Much Uneasiness.
AFTER THE DRIVERS
The Beer Wagon Men Appear as
Witnesses.
Many Arrests Are Expected to
Follow.

Leavenworth, Kan. Oct IL
Charles D. Shukers seems determine ed
to put the finishing touches on the
liquor situation in Leavenworth and
for that purpose is holding in
QUESTIONS. Last night the court of in
QUESTION was in session for several
hours in Lee Bonds office and about
a score of witnesses were examined.
Just what was the nature of the
questions asked and what took place
will probably never be known but it
is rumored that several arrests will
result
The following drivers of beer
wagons were seen among the reluc-
tant witnesses escorted to the in
QUESTION last night. Henry Sully,
John Brooks, Homer McKelvy. Henry
Hashage Cowlin, James Haley, c.
Townsend and Franks
Among the citizens who were seen
going into the court in charge of the
sheriff were Geo. Arnold. s.. Town
send, Joe White, Mike Carroll. Ed.

Square Logan, Emmett Logan. John
Becker, James Babcock, Byron Col
dren, j. Goercken and Charles Ar

1t is said that the last bunch of
witnesses were called in as the re-
suit of a row between one of them and
an alleged jointist who had offended
the witness in some way.

to all the men under him. Clarke does
little joilying. He seldom praises his
men and never overdoeS the compiI-
mentinp business. The last thing in
the world he would think of would be
to tell John Miller or any of the other
youngsters on his team that he was the
best young player he ever saw. There
fore he keeps out of lot of holes. He
never has anything to take back II
one of his players gets a call for a
stupid play that player cannot come at
Clarke with the remark, why, guess
/ know what I'm doing. Last week you
said l knew all about playing this posi-
ton Guess haven't changed much
since then" If Clarke calls a man,
that player knows that there is some
good reason for it. Fred is a friendly
fellow in a way, but he is not fiat
terer or a booster. He is serious about
his work both on and off the field and
he very rarely overlOOks a point. He
knows baseball as we'll as anyone in
the business and he has the character
and determination to enforce his
knowledge to the best advantage He
gets the best possible work out of his
players day in and day out. The Pitts
burg team has not had a slump this
year, and that is largely due to the way
the club has been handled by it's able
manager. Supporters of the Cubs have
been looking all along for a fall down
on the part of the Pirates They said
that no team could go through an en-
tire season without a slump and they
have been greatly surprised because the
Pirates upset their calculations in this
respect. Many thought that the young
players on the Pittsburg team would
not stand the gaff of a long fight out in
front, but they have done so without a
sign of weakening, due to the clever
way in which they have been players
on the Pittsburg team that will hold
up the colors of the National league in
the worlds series. 1t will be superbly
worked in that contest. Barring the
misfortunes of a short series they will
win, too, and probably in less than the
full number of games

BURROW Is TO BUILD.
Topeka Banker Will Erect Business
Block at Smith Center.

Smith Center. Kan. Oct. 14.-The
city of Smith Center and the sur
rounding country are enjoying a big
building boom this fall. Following
closely the completion of four brick
structures on the east side of Main
street, ex-Secretary Of State J. R.
Burrow, while here yesterday from
Topeka, definitely decided to build a
big double brick on the lots he owns
just across the street from the newly
constructed ones The buildings he
will erect will displace two unsightly
frames.
Many new and substantial resi-
dences are also going up here, among
them being two fine mansions for E.
s. Barger and Charles Townsend. New
buildings have to be put up to ac-
commodate the rapidly growing
population.
In the country tributary to the
city the building boom is even more
active Within a radius of five miles
at least twenty farmers have big barns
and houses under construction. A
buoyant, hopeful feeling is noticed
among the farmers since they found
out that the crop failure was far from
total this year. Many fields around
here are yielding from 80 to SO
bushelsper acre. Hogs are scarce
and stockers are bringing 10 cents a
pound at the public sales.

HOPE FOR MUDDY FIELD.
Kennedy Fears the Ageies in Game
Next Saturday

| Lawrence, Kan, Oct. IA gen.
eral feeling of Il hope the field will
| be wet at Manhattan" seems to pre-
vail at Kansas. 1t is known that the
Aggies have a faster backfield than
| the Jayhawkers and more than tina.
| the students seem to remember the
way Speer and Christian, for Manhat-
tan, skirted the Jayhawker ends a
year ago for big game. If there is a
wet field, the tendency will be to make
the men slower on their feet.
1t is this fast backfield which the
Jayhawker mentors fear most. While
Coach Kennedy will not say that he
changed Captain Pleasant to half
back and put Brownlee at end espec-
tally to strengthen his team against
Manhattan, it looks very much as
though this may have been the rea-
son. And he did it before the Okla
homa game so that Pleasant, Caldwell
and Brownlee would become accus-
toned to their new places by Satur-
day. Brownlee played end on the
freshmen team last year and he was
one of the fastest men on the team.
He is also very good at breaking up
interference as was shown in the Ok
lahoma game. Bill Caldwell at the
other end ought to be able to do more
toward breaking up interference than
he was able to do at tackle and now
with the captain in the backfeld to
dive in and help break up the end
runs, Kansas is better prepared to
stop Speer ana CHRISTIAN this year, II
they try to get around the Kansas
ends. -----'-
The Kansas line was little weak in
the Oklahoma game, but Kennedy and
Moses made a slight change putting
John Lovett and Harlan at guards and
Davidson and Ralph Smith at tackles,
and they seem to think that there is
no question but what the new change
will make the line solid. They fear
Manhattan more at the ends, than in
the line.
Freshmen Coach w. ]. Coleman
brought back word from Columbia
that the Aggies were good at execut-
ing the forward pass.
Last year the forward pass never
troubled Kansas to any extent during
the entire season, and it is. thought
this is largely due to the fact that the
Haskell Indians were brought to Nc
Cook field several times, and while
the Redskins tried to work the for
ward pass, the Jayhawkers went
through a series of lessons in break
ing up the play.
Secret practice has started on Nc
Cook field and there is no way to
find out what takes place during prac-
tfce except what the coaches will give
out.
The officials for the game have not
all been agreed upon as yet, though it
is practically assured that Fred Cor
nell of Nebraska will referee and
Coach Stewart of Baker, a Michigan
man, will umpire.
