precedented growth and prosperity
from the exposition year.
In practically every respect the ex-
position at San Diego will differ from
the ordinary demonstration of this
character. Within two years the city
will have direct and easy connection
with 3S0,000 square miles of territory,
and population of nearly 100000 en-
gagged in practically every variety of
industry will look to San Diego as the
natural point of import and export. To
demonstrate the possibilities of this
vast region there is to be established
a comprehensive display along the line
of conservation, and it is the intention
to demonstrate, in the most attractive
fashion that can be devised, all known
methods of irrigation and reclamation,
beginning with the rude efforts of the
aboriginal tribes and carrying the il
lustration down to the final triumph of
government experts. A large section
of the exposition site has been set
aside for this purpose, and the depart
ment of agriculture has promised to as
sist, or, if necessary direct the prepa-
ration of this feature.
Another departure from the beaten
track will be the effort to assent BILE
representatives of every known sur
Viving American tribe. The cliff
dwellings of Arizona and the handi-
work of the Aztecs will be exhibited,
American Indians and the huts of the
Eskimo, the tepees of the North
American Idoians and the huts of the
stalwart Patagonians. 1t is the hope
of the management that the visitor
may inspect in detail over 100 villages
embraced in this display. Under the
direction of capable leader band
from every country in North and
South America will render the music
of the western hemisphere, and from
time to time there will be spectacular

professions de oted to one or the other
of the nations represented.
San Diegans have demonstrated to
their own satisfaction that the move
ment for an exposition was not a fool
hardy one. Ever since the project was
conceived there has been busy prep
aration for the events of the future
and a combined effort to build new
city before 1915. One of the first
criticisms of San Diegos ambition was
based upon the declaration that the
city was not equipped with hotel ac-
commodations sufficient for the thou
sands of visitors expected. Within a
period of eight months one of the
finest hostelries in the west has been
completed, and work has been COM
menced upon seven smaller institu-
tions with a combined capacity of $50
rooms. The building permits for 1909
numbered 1920 with an aggregate
value of $2,632, 100. During the first six
months of 1910 the value of building
permits issued was $1,61S,000, with the
most active portion of the year still
to be reckoned. Trade between San
Diego and all other ports on the Pa
cific coast has been materially in
creased, and for month after month
the city has stood fourth in the state
in the matter of bank clearings and
building permits. All of which is cred
tied by the people of San Diego to the
influence of the exposition.

BLDG.-AIMS TO KEEP
MONEY AT HOME

With the backing of men to whom
every turn of the life insurance bust
ness is we'll known and with the moral
and financial support of a large NUM-
Der of San Dego's wealthiest busi-
ness men, the National Life Insurance
company is now being promoted in the
southern city.
J, X. Tennant is general manager of
the company, and under his skilled di-
rection a large block of stock already
has been subscribed, and it is believed
that insurance will be written during
the present year.
The National Life Insurance com
pany proposes to do a conservative life
insurance business in Southern Cali
fornia and to keep at home large
amount of money which yearly is col
lected as premiums by eastern com
panies.
I'VE are not sufficiently insured to-
day" declared Manager Tenant, "and
there is an unlimited field here in
Southern California for a strong, con-
serVative company. With the back
ing of the most able and conservative
business men of San Diego there Is
no doubt as to our ultimate success

ters of this company because we have

precilted.
ITO build life insurance company
is not child's play. To manage the or
sanization of this company we have
chosen ]. K. Tenant. We have chosen
him after a thorough investigation,
the RESULTS of which have been emil
nently satisfactory, and in the organ
ization of the company Mr.. Tennant
has our undivided support and CO.
opert tion. We commend him to the
citizens of San Diego and bespeaE for
him the support of every loyal Call
fornian.
Approximately one-half of the in
surance being sold today is being sold
in the western states. There Is no
reason why one-half of the assets
should not be kept in the western
states for local improvements. Our
motto is Keep Money at Home

BASEBALL A LOTTERY, SAYS
TIM MURNANE.

Baseball is a lottery" spiels
Sir Timothy Murnane, "where
luck plays a very important
part, yet the club with the capa-
) Bile scouts and aggressive presi-
dents will forge TO the front and
) finally land the big rakeoff.
, Baseball is little different from
any other business requiring
brain and push.
"Ihe shrewd club owner with
the big bank roll. the capable
scouts and the first class man
ager is bound to forge to the
front.
"All he has to do is to loosen
up"
AIurnane criticises the Giants
for not securing the country
for the rising young players. The
annual profits of the New York
club are 100000, yet Brush and
McGraw are mostly depending
on veterans
"No man living has anything
on McGraw in handling ball
players" concludes Sir Timothy,
but in gathering clever young
talent he is a practical failure"

Longest Single Days Run in History
of Event Between Texarkana

Detroit, April 9.-The Chalmers
"3O' official pathfinder for the Glidden
tour of 1910 has been shipped to Gin
cinnati, the official starting point of
the tour.
The pathfinding trip will start Mon
day, April IL This was the decision
of Chairman s. M Butler of the con
test board of the American Automobile
association when he stopped in Chi
cago the first of the week for con-
ference on Glidden tour matters be-
fore he left for the coast.
He further announced that the night
controls will be Louisville, Nashville,
Florence, Ala; Memphis, Little Rock,
Ark; Dallas, Texas; Oklahoma City,
Wichita, Kan; Kansas City, Mo-; St.
Joseph, Mo; Des Moines, Iowa; Dav-
export and Chicago. Sundays will be
spent in Memphis and st. Joseph.
This years GIidden will contain the
longest single days run in the history
o fthe event; from Texarkana to Dial
las, distance of 23O miles. The long
est day in the 1909 tour was from Sa-
lima Kan, to Kansas City, a distance
of PIP miles.
Record I'm Length.
This years tour will also be longer
than that of 1909 which established
record for Glidden tours. Last year
the Gliddenites covered approximately
$500 miles between Chicago and Kan
sas City by way of Minneapolis and
Denver. This years route will be
something over $500 miles.
Chairman Butler believes that this
years Glidden event will set a record
for entries. Inquiries to date indicate
great interest in the tour among man
ufacturers of automobiles in all parts
in the country.

many GOOD ONES
Major Leagues Have Secured
Number of Stars by Draft
Method.
DESPITE FACT OF DENIAL
Several Three-Eye Leaguers Who
Have Made Good Were Obtained
in This Manner.

Every little while the argument
arises whether major league clubs
ever have procured many good play
ers by draft. Looking back over
the record of the national commits
sion it would seem that lots of ster-
ling performers have entered the
major leagues by the draft route
For instance. President Frank Ma
vim of the Tigers, didn't buy Hugh
Jennings from the Orioles, but draft
ed him. Two of Charley Comiskeys
best pitchers-Ed Walsh and Frank
Smith-were drafted players. Hal
Chase of the Highlanders also was
drafted. President Frank Farrell
did not have to pay fancy prices for
Jimmy Austin, Earl Gardner or Jack
Quinn, all of whom were procured
by the draft figure.
OF the Giants, Otis CrandalI.
George Schlei, Bugs" Raymond and
Charley Herzog were drafted. The
Tigers once drafted Owen Bush to
oblige the Indianapolis club, and lat
er had to pay the noosiers $500
for the little fellows release. Two
all-star teams, one to represent the
American league and the other the
National, could be picked from the
men who have been drafted by the
major organizations since. the nation
al agreement has been in force
American League Roster.
Members of the American league
team would be Pitchers Walsh,
Frank Smith, Charley Smith and
Jack Quinn; Catchers Easterly and
Livingstone; Infielders Hal Chase,
Earl Gardner, Owen Bush and Jimmy
Austin and Outfelders "Rube" Old

kind would have Nap Rucker, Orval
