Barnes to beCaptain
Basket Ball Season Closes
with Total of 10 Victor
les and 6 Defeats

At meeting of the basket
ball men of the State College,
Thomas Barnes. better known as
Bunk" Barnes, was elected
captain of the varsity five for
next year. Barnes was elected
on a ballot taken by his team
mates of this years varsity, all
men who had won the "W"
this year being eligible to vote.
The new captain is steady,
aggressive and steadfast player
and demonstrated his ability in
every game played this year.
Although light. he makes up by
his speed, knowledge of the
game and pure nerve. He can
rough it" with the best of
them, as was demonstrated in
the Idaho and LosAngeles games
this year, in the latter of which
he played Dutton, the huge for
ward to a standstill.
This is Barnes third year on
the team, although the first time
he has won his basketball "W".
He has showed marked i'm
provement this year under the
tutorage of Coach Boiler and is
expected to be a strong leader
next year.
The season for the varsity
team closed Saturday night with
the O.A.C. game, which the stu
dents will perhaps talk about
fort a long time to come. This
game opened up entirely new,
prospects in the game of basket
ball and the crowd went wild
over it. The game was close and
fast in every particular and the
intercollegiate rules, bringing
an entirely different style of
game.
Now that the season is closed
for the northwest colleges, it
appears that O.A.C. is undisput-
ed champion. The Oregon inz
stitution defeated Whitman and
w. S. c., and the latter took the
series from Idaho. O.A.C. has a
large and fast team and they
have the intercollegiate rules,
which differ materially from
the A.A.U. rules down pat. Of
course, they undoubtedly had an
advantage in that the other COL
leges were not familiar with
that style of game, but the fact
remains that they have a swell
team and are fairly entitled to
the championship. Washington
State College, however, is far
from dissatisfied with the record
made by its five this season. Out
of 16 games played during the
season the local five came out
victorious, large majority of
the collegiate games being played
on the road at that. The State
College team played the follow
ing games during the season just
closed:- university of Idaho 3;
Whitman College, 3; O.A.C. 2;
LosAngeles Athletic Club l;
GonZaga College l; S.A.A.C. 2;
North Yakima Y.M.C.A. l; Ell
lensburg Athletic Club l; Ros-
lyn Y.M.C.A. l; Snohomish Ath-
letic Club l;
Of these games all were won
but the following six, Idaho /,
Whitman, z and O.A.C. 2, and
Snohomish Athletic Club l.
Prospects for first class team
next year look exceedingly
bright. Of this years varsity
Eddie Hollcomb and Ivan Put
nam, both star men, will gradu-
ate, while Pat Crane, Bunk"
Barnes. Andy Anderson and Ben
Torpen will remain. Such sec
ond team men as Bartlett, Hunt
and Mumm will be showing class
enough by next year to make
first class men.

THIS IS THE DAY
FOR THE BALL
TO ROLL
White S0x and Seals viii Open
Season With an Exhibi=
ton Game

This is the dayl The semidaffy will
be given their first chance to pan and
roast the poor mortals who play base
ball for a living. The White Sox, the
team that beat the Cubs two seasons
ago in the worlds championship series
and the same aggregation that was
beat a whisker by the Detroit bunch
last season for the first place in the
American league race, will try to sub
due the Seals this afternoon at Recre-
alton park at 8 p. m.
The fans are right on edge. They
are mad for baseball, and while the
the opening of the regular season in
California 1t practically ushers in the
baseball year. If the attendance at the
grounds during the last few afternoons
can be used as a criterion the season
promises to be a record breaking one

Fairmont
traffic official, speaking of the de-
cision of the interstate commerce COM
mission in the Spokane case, says:
The opinion rendered in this
famous case is simply straddle and
does not decide the vital point in the
controversy. The question before the
commission was the legality or lille
gality of maintaining higher rates at
intermediate points than at the ter
minals. So far as the reports are con-
cerned. while the commission has
stated that the Spokane rates in them
selves are unreasonable as compared
with the rates to Seattle, they have
not said that section 4 of the inter-
state commerce law pertaining to the
long and short haul clause is violated
by the carriers in maintaining higher
rates at Spokane than at Seattle. Tae
entire controversy and decision
amounts simply to skirmish. The
real battle will come later"
There is considerable interest taken
by the members of the Transportation
club in the coming election, which will
be held on March Is. Four new direct

That business is fast recovering is
shown by the report Of the Pittsburg
car demurrage bureau, for ITO, ,981 cars
were handled last January, as COM
pared with 122,130 cars for January of
1908. Out of this smaller total the
Pennsylvania east of Pittsburg ham
died 32.15 per cent of the entire num-
ber, and the company's business west
of Pittsburg was 24.22 per cent. The
first month in 1908 the corresponding
percentages were 2S.72 per cent and
PALS per cent. The other two roads
which last month handled more than
10 per cent of the total cars were the
Baltimore and Ohio and the Pittsburg
I and Lake Erie. The former handled
1907 per cent and the latter 1888 per
cent. These proportions, compared
with those of January, 1908, when the
Baltimore and Ohio handled 1926 per
cent and the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
1882 per cent.
The Great Northern has increased its
train service between Spokane and

~ ONCE entertained the idea" said
Harry Buck, that an automobile
/ was a luxury, and that it could
not be made a convenience, be-
ing too aristocratic machine for
common everyday use.
II was mistaken however, and since
I was at Stockton my appraisement OF
an automobile has risen considerably.
To my establishment l noticed some
dozen of the finest automobiles ever
saw lined up along the sidewalk of
the main street in town pumping Ior

cellars of water"

# has been repeatedly called to the
attention of the California lines that
the North Pacific Coast railways had
a different rate basis on pianos by
tba carload to Seattle and Portland
than applies to San Francisco. This Is
N he remedied, however, for at the re-
cent conference of transcontinental
lines it was decided that uniform
rate should be made to all Pacific
coast terminals, and the next amend
ment to the tariff will provide rate
of 50 per 100 pounds on pianos, boxed
or harnessed, minimum carload weight
- 600 pounds. The present rate Is
s2.20 per 100 pounds, minimum, 10000
pounds.
The railroads entering Wyoming as
well as those on the Pacific coast have
been disappointed by their failure to
secure a large tonnage, which was ex-
pected would be available for export,
because of the passage of the law
bv congress prohibiting exports of
nhospate rock. Local capital owns beds
of enormous extent containing what Is
estimated to be 100,000,000 tons of this
rock, which is in great demand in Eu-
rome. Some steps are being taken for
the repeal of the law, and the railroad
companies are interesting themselves
in it to some extent.
Toronto expects to be put on the
main line of the Canadian Pacific this
coming summer, for the western states
as well as Vancouver Ever since the
new Sudbury line was completed there
has been a fast train over it between
Toronto and Winnipeg, which made
close connections with the through
transcontinental from Montreal, so that
trains were practically through main
line trains to and from Toronto. In
the summer a new arrangement will
| be made, which will make close con-
nections between Toronto and Minneap-
oils, the trains leaving Toronto so as
to make close connections at Sudbury
with the Soo's trains, so that Toronto
passengers will get practically through
connections with the Twin Cities.

little more strength in the hitting de-

strong as last years Seals at fielding.

Long has announced that the Seals
