ONE UMPIRE NOT ENOUGH.
Tinker and Jones Favor Two at
Least,

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Joe Tinker,
shortstop of the Chicago National
league club and Fielder A. Jones, ex-
manager of the Chicago American
league team, say the Pacific coast
league is making a grave mistake in
rejecting the double umpire system.
Both diamond stars assert that the
game of baseball has progressed to
such an extent that one umpire can
not be expected to do both teams

CHAMPS ALL WANT MORE PAY.
Lay Claim on Feat of Winning Pen
nanf.

Sioux City. Ia, Jan. 24.-The first
contract of the 1911 Packers received
by President Tom Fairweather is that
of Walter Millere, a pitcher secured
from the Ohio State league, was the
first player to affix his John Henry"
to a contract.
Prospects are good for ho1douts. ac-
cording to letters received from several
players on the club roll. A majority
to whom were sent contracts calling
for their former salary, have asked a
raise. AS these men received top mon
ey for the Western league last season
it is not probable they will get an in
crease in pay. Both Towne and Fair
weather believe the salaries offered by
them will compare favorably with the
pay roll of majority of the other
clubs in the league, and in some cases
are larger. Ball players on pennant
winning clubs always seek raise for
the following season.

have been voted by five townships in

now without any railroad.
This will be the first railroad for
| two county seat towns, Russell

Santa Fe,- the capital of Haskell. Both
are good towns, and both are mighty
anxious to get the railroad. Russell
Springs has a fine court house, a good
modern school house. a bank and a
lot of substantial business houses
Santa Fse has also a good court house,
banks, newspaper and everything a
good town needs, excepting railroad.
| But there is promise that this will
soon be had, too.

Business Blocks Burned

Gus Fire---The Losses

According to insurance men on
the scene, the loss by fire which
Monday night destroyed two whole
blocks of the main business portion
of Sedro Woolley will be $250,00O
with insurance to cover estimated
variously from 100000 to $17O, 900.
Practically every big business
establishment in the city is now a
mass of ruins, not one of them hav-
ing saved a single thing Of any va
lue. So rapid was the progress of
the fire that Fritsch Bros. Hardware
Co. and the Union Mercantile Co.
were not even able to save their
books before the walls of their
buildings began to crumble.
The heaviest losers are Fritsch
Bros, in whose establishment the
fire stared, and the Union Mercantile
Co. the largest dry goods store in
the city, owned by State Senator
Emerson Hammar. The loss of
each of these concerns is estimated
conservatively at $4,000. the in
surance on which, it is reported will
fall far short of being sufficient to
cover.
Another big loser was the Star
Grocery & Bakery Co.. their loss
being, SIS, 900. The Mott Drug Co.
lost similar amount.
Horace Condy, the jeweler, suffer
ed loss of from $40, 900 to Sic. 900.
The Red Front Clothing store will
come out on the short end to the
extent of So, 500.
The loss of the building and the
stock, both owned by George Clark
the haberdasher, will bring his loss
close to $4,000.
Charles Nye lost his cigar factory
and his home in the rear. recently
furnished, his total loss being
SIS, 900.
The FIVE, ten and fifteen cent
store Of Muirhead & Sons was totally
destroyed, the loss being $4,000.
Jack Dahl, the pool and billiard
hall, man who owned his fixtures
and the building, is poorer by
$4,000.
All the foregoing figures represent
the net loss, after the insurance has
been subtracted from the gross
amount of the property destroyed.

Bumper Crops Of
Hay and Grain

The bay and grain yield of the
state of Washington will be fully as
great this year as in 1910, if not
greater, states Chief Grain Inspector
c. ]. Hoist, of the state department
of public service.
"The fruit crops however, are not
gning to hold their own with the
grain. The soft fruits in particu-
lar are showing decided decrease
from. the yield Of last year. This
is said to be due to the cold spring
weather. Thousands of bushels Of
peaches have fallen to the ground
from the trees. The only region
in which a good crop of peaches will
be picked is in the viciniy of Zillah.
On one ranch alone that Of DR..
Klober it is estimated that 80 900
boxes of peaches will be shipped
East.
The crop Of pears will be nearly
normal while the apple crop will
not be equal to that of last year.
