Go NORTH FOR
BIG GAME
California Team to Meet Speedy
Men of Northern Football
Association
By Bob Shand

Several hundred loyal soccerites
gathered at the water front yesterday
afternoon 10 bid godspeed to the Cali
foraia soccer team which sailed north
on the steamer Buckman, bent on
trouncing the association teams of the
northern states and Vancouver. Fif-
teen players and Secretary Goodman
OF the California football association
were passengers on the ship and the
lads viii be gone for couple of weeks.
The remaining games in the cup
competition have meantime been post
poned, as it was thought unfair to
those clubs whose players were Sc
lected to make the northern trip to
play without their full complement. AS
the team Will be gone at least two
weeks there will be nothing serious
doing among the local soccerites in
that time. A number or friendly games
have been arranged, but the serious
work of the cup competition viii not
be recommended until the return of the
players from the north
The final word received from the Pa
cifc football association. the organi-
cation which conducts the game in the
north, was that everything was in
readiness for the Californians and that
the financial success Of the trip was as
sured. The sporting element OF the
northern cities was reported to be
right on edge for the games, and rec
ord attendances are looked for in all
cities in which the Calhornians ap-
pear.

made by the intercollegiate football
rules committee. which completed its
sessions here today. in the reduction OF

OAKLAND. March 27.-The scores OF
the local marksmen who took part in
the recent indoor shoot for the cham
pionship Of the United States revolver

RIVER COMPETITION.
terprise

In an editorial relative to the new
boat lines on the Columbia, the Ore.
gon Journal remarks:
"a significant announcement in the
news is that a saving of 90 cents pei
100 is effected in the rate on wool be
tween Columbia river points and Bos'
ton. The clip is to come down the
Columbia and proceed thence to Bos-
ton via the Panama route. The bet
ter rate applied to the enormous
quantities of wool produced in the
Columbia river basin is an item OF
large consequence. Yet, its real val
uc is not in the amount of this saw
ing. but in the significance it bears
to the transportation system, and to
commerce in general"
This should be good news for the
eastern Oregon sheepmen, who will
soon be selling their clips. Lower
rates on wool mean higher prices to
woolgrowers. River competition also
produces lower freight rates on grain
and causes the farmers Of the inland
empire to receive higher prices for
their wheat.

DAIRY INSPECTION.

II the dairymen who supply milk
for this city do right they will quick
ly take advantage Of the offer made
by the bureau of animal industry for
free inspection Of their herds for tu-
berculosis. The proposition made the
dairymen by DR.. S W. Mcclure and
published IN this paper yesterday, is
in every way a reasonable offer. If
the dairymen are wise they will ac-
cept it.
Just now a world wide crusade is
being waged against the dread dis
ease consumption. Naturally one of
the most effective ways to fight this
grim enemy is by attacking the
sources Of infection. Among medi-
cal men it is the concensus of opin-
ion that bovine tuberculosis is trans
missible to the human and that a
large per centage of consumptive
cases may be traced to milk from tu-
bercular cows.
Last summer an ordinance prov!d-
ing for the inspection of local dairy
COWS was introduced in the city
council. However, the dairymen OBJ
jected to it as being too sweeping and
it was not passed
But there is nothing rigid or un-
reasonable in the offer that is now
made by the local bureau Of animal
industry office. DR.. Mcclure merely
REQUIRES that If tubercular cows are
found in dairies the diseased cows
must ge segregated from the others
Of the herd and that no milk from
affected cows be sold without first
being sterllized. In other words the
public must be protected.
If the dairymen are progressive
men and wish to deal honestly with
their customers, they will certainly
have their herds inspected. If they
refuse the generous offer that has
been made them they will merely in
vite the passage Of a city ordinance
requiring such inspection and pro-
hibiting the sale OF milk from tu-
bercular COWS should any such cows
be found in local dairy herds.
