there is in the material that he will have at hand next fall. Mccormick weighs 14S plus a lot of energy and get-there, which has made him an inn portant cog in the Academy's backfield machine, for he rarely failed when called on for the last grinding plunge that was needed to put the ball over the enemy's goal line. Five touch- downs were made by him in the nine games on the Academys list, and he was efficient in the interference for the halves, as well as a good tackler and aggressive when the team was on the defensive.

Tim Hurst the Nervy Ump.

m 7urSt tne Nervy Omp.
 ''Tim Hurst is the only umpire I ever saw declare a batsman out for stepping out of the box said Jack OConnor. the new manager of the St. Louis Browns, yesterday. Tt was in Cleveland two years ago that Hurst had the nerve to make this ruling We had a man on third with two out and needed a run to tie the score. Burkett. at bat, stepped out of the batsman's box and hammered a ter rife liner up against the left field fence for three bases. Hurst had his nerve with him, however, and prompt ly declared Burkett out, in spite of a hostile crowd and a threatened riot I've seen lots of good umpires in my time, but Hurst had more courage than any of them. He gave visiting teams fair break and was never a home umpire. It's too bad that he will not be on the American league staff next year."

THOUSANDS SEE IDAHO
IRRIGATION PROJECT STARTED

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 27.-Five thou
sand people, including representatives
of the reclamation service, Gov. Brad
ley and members of the Idaho legisla-
ture, witnessed the formal opening of
the Payettte Boise project, one Of the
largest reclamation works undertaken
by the government.
When the headgates of the canal
were raised the waters of the Boise
valley were diverted to more than
zoo, 900 acres of land.
The scene of the ceremony was at
the big dam, eight miles above Boise,
which provides the source of water for
the south side section of the project.
From this point the water is diverted
into canal systems covering Ada and
Canyon counties.
One canal carries water to the Deer
flat reservoir, the largestartiflcial body
of water in the world. This reservoir
will be filled before the irrigation sea-
son begins, and the water stored for
use during the dry season.

Pacific Mail Cuts the Rate

San Francisco, Teb. GA sweeping
reduction in eastbound freight rates be-
tween this city and New York has been
posted by the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. The reduction cuts about
Is per cent off the former rates. The
westbound rates are not affected.
The company has also sent out a
solicitors throughout the state seeking
business. It is said that the determi-
nation of local shippers to establish
an independent line between this port
and La Boca, Panama, connecting with
the Panama railroad and the Federal
Steamship line up the Atlantic coast
led to the reduction. The former east
bound rates ranged from 40 to rs cents
per hundred pounds, with 55 cents as
a base. The new rate is 40 cents per
hundred pounds on all commodities.

OIL FINE MAY
BE REDUCED TO $72O, 900

Chicago. Feb. Z.-ETOm Judge
Landis' fine of $29, 24O, 900 to a posi-
BILE maximum of 1920, 600 is admitted
to be the meaning of a ruling made by
Judge Anderson in the retrial of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana for
alleged rebating. The ruling was in
formal. but it almost certainly will
stand. The court of appeals in ruling
out Judge Landis' great fine, e1imin-
ated the view that each car lot of oil
on which rebate was accepted consti-
tuted separate offense. There were
1852 Of these car lots, the freight
charges for which were paid in SO
different settlements
Judge Anderson interpreted the de-
cision, which, he said, served as his
guide, to imply that the alleged re-
bates after each of the SO settlements
constituted the units Of Offense.
Judge Anderson s ruling was severe
blow to District Attorney Sims. He
and his assistant, James III. Wilkerson,
had argued that each of the 500 ship
ments, making possible maximum of
$40, 600, 600, constituted an offense.
This view, Judge Anderson declared.
he could not understand. He saw no
reason why, if a train load or car
lot we're regarded as q separate offense,
the matter might not be further divid-
ed, making a hundred weight unit,
or gallon, greatly increasing the
number of offenses and magnifying the
punishment

RESCUE ASSOCIATION TO
WORK AT EXPOSITION

It is said that in Berlin not less than
80, 600 working girls have no home-a
sad condition. A rescue worker, Mrs.
Charlton Edhalin, who for 81 years
was reporter on daily papers in large
cities, gives as the result of her inves-
LEGATIONS 800, 200 girls in America
whose fate is even worse. These girls
with, perhaps, no father or brother to
protect them, are lured in various ways
to the cities and then sold into slav very
and according to the demand are ship
ped to distant cities and totally lost to
friends or relatives who would rescue
them.
How is this possible in free America,
where Old Glory floats as an emblem
of our freedom and where in every
city, town and hamlet so recently the
people have celebrated the centennial
anniversary Of the great emancipation,
Abraham Lincoln?
Impossible to comprehend is this
diabolical business that robs the par
ents of our boasted land of the free
and the home Of the brave of 10000
beautiful girls yearly, whose average
age is 15 years. Think of the horrors
of the poor innocent girls captured and
sold into house of shame, that the
syndicate of vice, composed of men
and women may grow rich ON the sale
of virtue. How long must this terrible
condition exist before many Abraham
Lincolns will arise to stop the infa-
nous business? No one man can pre-
vent the traffic in girls, but in unity is
strength, and already an organization
is at work in connection with the Alas
ka- Yukon Pacific exposition which ex-
tends over the state.

TRANSCONTNENTAL
AUTOMOBILE TOUR

transcontinental automobile trip
that is unequalled in the annals OF mo-
toring was made last year by MT. y.
r Williams, sash and door manufac-
tnrer of Seattle. Washington. MT.
williams drove his own car from De-
troit, Michigan, to Seattle via Cney-
enne. Wyoming, covering in all S,2o'
miles.
From Detroit to Cheyenne he drove
without either mechanician or helper
Of any kind. At Cheyenne he picked
mn a man who knew how to rig pull
Low blocks and was an all around handy
man, as it was impossible to MAKE the
trip through the mountains alone.
Mr.. Williams is the only motorlst
who ever drove across the country
without a mechanician and also that
his is the first machine that ever made
the trip from Cheyenne to Billings.
Montana, by the way of Sheridan and
through the Grow Indian agency. An
other record set by Mr.. Williams Is
that his is the first car that ever went
over the Snoqualmie pass under Its
own power and also that his was the
first machine to cross the Burlington
railroad bridge over the Big Horn river
at Fort Custer.
Mr.. Williams claims it would be an
impossibility to make the trip either
two months earlier or two months Later
than the month of August. He left
Detroit July 10 and arrived at the
Montana Wyoming line August 1.
There are no bridges over streams
in Wyoming and some fords have to be
made in Montana which would be i'm.
possible to make when the water is
high.
Mr.. Williams says he had pretty
strenuous time of it, but enjoyed every
bit of the trip and that the kindness
and hospitality of the people he met
in sparsely settled sections of the coun-
try gave him a new view of mankind
that he would not like to part with.
Mr.. Williams was On the road in all
forty five days and was driving thirty
one days. He says: II took it easy,
never crowded my car in hard places
and gained knowledge of our country
that I could not have obtained in any
other way. All in all I consider the
forty five days spent on this outing
the most profitable vacation I ever
took. This coming summer I expect
to spend my vacation on board my
cruising launch on the waters of Puget
Sound SO that can have my family
with me, and when things go wrong
probably can find some way to blame
other members of my family for their
fair share"
