 I am going to make resolution for this year.

CANANEA CALLS
 GAME OFF
Considers Fl Paso Nine Too Weak to Draw and
 Cancels Date
MEXICAN TEAM MIXES
 UP DATE WITH BISBEE
Special to Review1

CANANEA, June I9.-The date for series of ball games with the Fl Paso lnternationals next Saturday and Sunday was called of by the local management because the Pass city boys were considered too weak an attraction to bring in gate receipts enough to pay the expenses of their trip out here. It is possible that they would have strengthened their lineup considerably, tut this bare probability was not assured. Thus Saturday will pass without a game with an outsids 2 team. However. the Boscos have se- cured Max Reardon to twirl for them Sunday afternoon. Also Mike Ryan and Hardy Holt, two stars that have not ceased to shine, will wear the gory red and help to humble the regulars, It Is more than likely that Dugan's Champions will have to be taken home in the ambulance.

Speaking of baseball matters. it appears that there is some misunder- standing concerning game in Bisbee on the 2Ith inst. It is generally un- derstood here that Tucson will be in Cananea at that time. and no one knows anything about date with the Bisbee nine. When Bisbee gets good and ready, Cananea will have to give her team good drubbing just to show Wacey what big mistake he made in leaving when no one told him to.

He has not been in the Shelter city since he licked nearly a dozen men at the never-to-beforgotten baseball game that was played before nearly every citizen of that town in 1907. and he will try to lead peaceful life over there if they do not open any oli wounds. While his duties and home will be in Douglas, his megaphone and heart will remain fin Cananea.

for the purpose OF improving the
navigation of the Tennessee river
over the Elk river shoals. and the Big

war Is authorized to construct four
dams and single lock-lift at each OF

general project devised and proposed
by the Muscle Shoals Hydro Electric
Power company. Each of the dams
Is to be of such height as will raise
the ordinary low-water level of the
river not less than 40 nor more than

BILLS PASS SENATE

Nashville, Feb 1.-THE state sem
ate passed the three pending election
bills on final reading. First came the
compulsory legalized primary bill,
under which the entire plan Of pri-
mary elections is revolutionized.
The last was the state commission
bill.
The two commission bills strip the
governor OF much of his power, as un-
der the old law he was authorized to
name the state board, and the state
board named the county boards.
whereas the new bills give the power
OF electlng the state board to the gen.
eral assembly. and It appoints or
elects. the county boards, taking, as
It will be seen, the entire control Of
the election machinery out of the
hands OF the chief executive.

The Commercial Club Leases
Wharf Space For the Com
pany on Tennessee River
Front.

Paducah will be the place where
the West Kentucky Coal company
will spend s1.2O0.OO0 in building a
feet OF 500 barges. The last chance
OF any other location to be selected
ended when the directors OF the Com
mercial club held a meeting and ac-
|cepted the proposition of the com
pany for a convenient site for the
building OF the barges. One thou
sand feet OF the property OF the glass
plant and 500 feet OF the Farley
stave plant, all bordering on the
Tennessee river will be leased by the
Commercial club for five years. The
rental will amount to $500 a year.
but this will be small in comparison
with the money expended here for
labor.
The feet OF 500 barges will be
built on the site and work will begin
in a short while. Each barge will
cost $4,000, and II Is intended to
complete two barges a week. At this
rate II will take FIVE years TO finish
the feet. To do the work IL VIII re-
quire from 1875 to $50 workmen, re-
ceivlng wages from $3.50 a day up.
Most OF the workmen will be Padu-
cab ship builders and the money ex-
pended for salaries and supplies will
benefit the merchants. The timber
will be shipped from the south and
all OF the local mills are bidding for
the contract. The barges will be built
on the bank of the river and twice a
week Il Is intended to have a launch
ing Of a barge.
News that the coal company has
been intending building the feet has
been current for several weeks. but

Of about si.C05.5S. To th!s might
be added possibly s2.5OO from poll

would be something slightly over 81

build a desirable school building, and
although favor a separate school
think II would be better for the coun-

accumulated 20 erect a building"
Lone Oak has offered a building
for the school. but some of the trus-
tees do not regard Il as suitable for
the school, and prospects are brighter
that the city High school will secure
the county pupils when the county
school trustees meet.

Abandoned.
HOGsHEAD OF NEW CROP SOLD

Murray, KY, Feb. ~. Especial. y
Talk Of loose leaf tobacco ware
house for Murray has about subsidized.
A petition was circulated among the
farmers but few signers were secured
though there Is much dissatisfaction
among growers. who are members OF
the association. Many farmers who
were asked to petition for a loose leaf
market, say they favor the opening
of such an establishment, but do not
want to bring prominence upon them
selves at this particular time.
While there ~ at present little
prospect of an organized revoli
against the association In this county
II is apparent that the only thing that
prevents one Is the lack of a leader.
The growers are holding their tobacco
In their barns and few crops have
been delivered to the association priz-
ing house though the prizers adver-
tise that they are prepared to advance
60 per cent OF the estimated valIe of
tobacco delivered 10 them. The prop
osition is not so attractive this year
because the schedule Of prices is
lower than last years schedule.
The association salesman has placed
a few hogsheads of the 1908 crop on
the market and sold one hogshead at
$3.50. This has given the farmers
whose 1907 holdings have not been
sold a new grievance, as they say the
general manager has violated the
promise that all the 1907 crop would
be sold before any of the new crop
was offered for sale.

BANKS
CLOSE DOORS TO
HONOR OCCASION

Paducah observed the centenary of
the birth of Kentucky's noble son
quietly today. The postofice was
open between the hours of 8 and 10
o'clock this morning, but closed dur
/! ing the rest of the day as on the regu-
lar national holidays. The letter car
riers made only one delivery. The
public library was also closed during
the day.
All of the banks in the city were
closed. but all of the stores remained
open for business. Considerable con-
fusion has prevailed in the state for
the past two days as 20 whether the
national banks should close in honor
of the Lincoln centenary, and in some
cities in the state the banking institu-
tons will close at noon, others will
remain open all day. The Paducah
banks agreed to remain closed all
day.
The bill was before the house OF
representatives to make the hun
dredth anniversary of Lincoln's birth
a national holiday and was passed.
When the senate was reached an APP
preparation of several hundred thou
sand dollars was attached for monu-
ment. and the house of representa-
tives refused to concur In the change
of the senate.
However, President Roosevelt and
Governor Wilson sent messages urg-
ing the bankers to remain closed to-
day and all of the banks In the city
abided by the request.
Lincoln pictures have been used
prominently by the merchants in
their display windows. and few have
been the dealers that did not have a
picture Of Abraham Lincoln or some
remembrance of the wartime presi-
dent on display. Several displays
were unusually attractive.
