Verify is c. Mack a wonderful baseball
man The courts took Larry" Lajoie
away from him. He got rid of "Rube"
Waddell when his players told him that
it was for the teams best to part with
George Edward. It's the truth that
Mack has more than filled the shoes of
Lajoie and Waddel. His new second
baseman, Eddie Collins is hitting at a
.375 clip and putting up sensational
game on the defense. Krause, WaddelPs
successor, has won his tenth straight
game Remembering that Lajoie and
Waddell are venerable souls and that Col
Inns and Krause are a pair of kids. Mack
is way better off than If King Larry and
the "Rube" had stuck.

by settlers for fencing, fuel. and

Rhyolite and johnny are located
so near this addition that much of
their timber is drawn from the area.
The total stand upon the addition is
estimated at 100000 feet of saw

sTpEL ACTION AFFECTS THESE
STOCKS THE LEAST-LOOKS As
IF THEY WE'RE NEAR BOTTOM

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The light
and shifting currents of the specula-
tive sentiment In the stock market
veered decidedly in the direction of
announcement in the course of last
week and carried values rapidly
downwards. The deciding factor was
the evidence of languishing trade as
exemplified, especially In the iron
and steel trade. The halt In the re-
yiyal of trade had been perceived for
several weeks past and the growing
misgiyings, but the policy OF the
United States Steel corporation was
announced TO be for the preservation
of stable conditions by maintenance
of prices based on the stated con-
yiction that a reduction of prices at
this time would fail of effect in re-
viving demand
IL was asserted that the waiting ON
the formulation of new tariff sched-
ules was the motive for the with
holding of orders. IL was urged that
such cutting of prices as was being
done was by small independent steel
companies, and that the business
mus placed represented so small a
unrepresentative of trade conditions.
Insistent reports that cut In prices
of steel was In contemplation were
as persistently denied, the latest de-
malls coming from accredited Off
Gals until past the middle OF the
week. The reassuring effect on
speculative sentiment of these asser-
lions was confirmed by the deter
mined support accorded the stocks
of the United States Steel corpora

bear attacks were resisted and I'M

motion that the committee have full

ton was seconded and carried.

Henry Fulmer made motion that
