VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. IA
professional ball team for Victoria
is mooted. All along the only
block in the face of the
city's desire for representation in
the Northwest league has been
the uncertainty of its receiving the
support necessary. The crowd
which flocked to see the Spokane
Vancouver match on Monday has
convinced those who have been
skeptical that the time has arrived
when British Columbia's capital
may step in in the annual struggle.

CHAIRMAN LOVE OPPOSES
PROPOSED AMENDMENT

Guthrie. Okla, Nov Jack Love,
chairman of the Oklahoma CORPORA
ton commission, gave out an interview
yesterday in which he declared that
the commission Is opposed to the adj
option of the proposed amendment 10
article 3, section 8 Of the constitution
which was referred to a vote of the
people by the legislature of 1909 and
which proposes to give railroad COM
panies right to purchase other lines
OF railroad in this state. The proposed
amendment is to be voted upon in the
election next Tuesday and it has been
Deiieved generally that the corporation
eomission favored the proposed amend
ment as it was submitted by demo-
cratic legislature and has not hereto
fore been publicly attacked by any
member OF the commission, nor by any
OF the other democratic leaders.
One of the principal grounds stated
by Chairman Love for opposing the
amendment is that he is opposed TO
letting the railroads amend the CON
stitution at all. even though they do
not profit by the amendment, because
ne declares it would give them a
wedge to work in other amendments
which might lessen the powers of the
corporation commission.
