stands the up-to- date and growing
city of Amazon ties. A quarter of a
century ago Anacortes was one of the
dreams of empire builders. Mag
niticent STREETS we're laid out, magnif-
icent buildings were planned and
some Of them built, but the time foi
the greatness Of this city had not yet
arrived and fur many years Auacnltes
was one, with other cities, on which
the wand of stagnation laid its heavy
hand. Hap. lily, these days are gone
and Anacortes is coming to It's own.
having magnificent factories, saw
mills ann fish Canneries and being the
home of large and growing business.
Passing nol tn of Mount Vernon the
same splendid farming country Is
shown everywhere, and the town OF
Burlington is in the midst of another
wealthy, prospt rous body of agrl-
culturists. The same fields Of waving
grain and hay are to be seen here as
farther down the valley and the same
spirit of progressivenessa and optimism
prevail as in other towns.
On to Sedro Wooley much the same
story is told, where we find another
wide awake village combining agri-
culture with lumber making.
In passing up the valley from Sedro
Wooley is seen one Of natures mag
nificent panoramas. Closer and closer
do the mountain sides get down into
the valleys. These slopes are covered
with Unreasonable forests from which
man is rapidly sending produces to all
parts of the world. The scenery is
beyond description. and those Ameri-
cans travelling to Switzerland to see
scenery should retrace their steps and
see the upper Skagit. Soon the little
city of Concrete is reached. While
one force of nature was washing down
the mountains from Mount Baker to
spread hundreds and hundreds OF
acres of fertile land at it's mouth,
other forces we're at work placing in

clay beds one Of the most useful pro-
ducts known to man. This is the
limestone and clay bed from which
is made the now universally used
Portland cement. Rightly is the
town of Concrete named, for at this
point just where the mighty Baker
rushes down and joins its water with
the mighty Skagit. has been erected
two magnificent Portland cement
plants, those of the Superior Portland
Cement and the Washington Portland
Cement, within mile of each other.
These plants have been placed in
operation against odds that would
deter any but the boldest mind, at an
eXpenes that could only be met by an
organization with master minds Of
men and millions of dollars to back
their judgment. Acres and acres of
ground have been covered with these
plants and hundreds Of meu employ
ed. The material for one of these
plants is brought down over one OF
the most magnificent scenic railways
in the United States. Up and up the
Baker river where a road has been
blasted out of solid rock most OF the
way, and across the Baker ITO feet
high, hourly pass these trains carry
ing material to be made into Portland
cement, which is used for road max
ing, street paving, barns and for other
purposes for which cement has become
so necessary. The scenery passes
description and only those who have
been favored with this ride can ap-
preciate it's beauty. The plants them
selves are a study, not only for the
artist but for the practical business
man. Artists can see only the great
tubes covering acres of ground,
eternally revolving into which the
ground clay and limestone is passing
and in which is furnace burning
whose heat is such that it can only be
witnessed many feet away from the
open door. 1t is said that the heat
in one of them would register 300 de-
grees F. Miles Of carriers and
blowers carry this product from one
to another until it finally falls into
the packing room where hundreds of
men work, with protectors over eyes
and mouth, sacking the apparently
lifeless clay and shipping it to all
parts of the world. Something like
5000 barrels of cement are manufactur-

FOOTBALL OFFICIAL
INVENTS INDICATOR
TO MARK THE DOWNS

AL Farrier. the former Dartmouth
centre and member of the All Amer
lean team, has devised an apparatus
for marking the number OF downs
and the position Of the ball in foot.
tall games, which has proved very
satisfactory. Farrier is q mechanical
engineer now and his practical mind
saw the necessity for something OF
this kind and then invented it. The
device was used at the Commerce
Curtis game at New Brighton, where
Farrier officiated as referee. "
The apparatus consists of an indi-
Gator about foot square attached tc
the end of six foot pole. The
whole instrument is painted white
so that it readily can be seen across
the field. A spring, which is released
by q button, snaps up the numbers
from / to and all that the head
Iinesman has to do at the beginning
Of each scrimmage is to press the
button and up flies the number, OF
The down so that it can be seen by
the players, officials and spectators.
The pole is held at a point parallel
with the ball and indicates Its posi-
ton.
Farrier also had with him short iron
stakes painted white and one of these
was left at the spot from which the
previous scrimmage was !, made so
that penalties could be inflicted from
this point when the rules so desig
mated. This idea was originated by
Levine of Pennsylvania and is In
dorsed by officials. although it has
not been recognized yet by the rules
committee. Those who saw the two
devices thought that they both were
worthy of adoption for use in all the
games. s...a '

A ball player is loyal to his uni
form" says Joe Tinker, @and YOU
cannot shake that loyalty with! brides
or prayers Yet, when that same
ball player changes his uniform, he
transfers that loyalty with the shift
OF clothing he Is, from that moment
the faithful and devoted warrior OF
his new aggregation, and there is nc
trick OF the game that he won't work
upon his former team mates, If he
can. The, sentiment of years, per
haps, may have bound him to the
old club--and yet as soon as the new
letters stand out upon his shirt-front
ell he thinks about is how he can use
the knowledge of the by-gone years
to help his new team beat the old
one. In all the years I've seen the
game, remember only one man who
forgot he was traded. and that one
case was so funny that 1t gave me
the best laugh of the season.
Several years ago. the Chicago
team made sudden, hurTy-up trade
with Boston. Ii was, beyond doubt,
the quickest trade ever contaminated
in the fast company. The men rode
cut to the ball park with their Old
teams. not even dreaming that a deal
was under way, got into uniform and
practiced. Meanwhile, the two man
ayers got together In the office,
found that each was wholly agree
able 10 q swap, and shook hands on
q big transfer then and there. They
walked out to the field, told the ath-
letes concerned of the exchange, and
ordered them to hurry into their re
versed apparel. In a few more min.
utes two men who had been under
arms for Chicago strobe forth in Bos.
ton uniforms, closely followed by two
Chicago-labeled gents, who, ten min
utes previous had worn Boston col
ors. The umpire stepped to the front
OF the stand, megaphoned with his
large red hands, shouted 1--WE all use
assumed names, please. for all four
of the boys are sensitive: Ladies and
Gentlemen: Instead of Greeny play
ing third for Chicago and Sandal
right, Greeny will play third for Bos-i
ton and Sandal win be in right for

third, gibbons will play third for Chi.

Chinese Will Go AGAINST THE
HAWAI|S IN Saturdays GAME
Local Fans viii Have Much
Desired Chance of Seeing the
travelling Champions in Ac-
ton Against Senior League
Team

The momentous question Of wheth
er the All-Chinese team should be
sent against the Hawaiis or the J. A,
Cs. next Saturday was definitely set.
tied yesterday, after several days Of
discussion. The Hawaiis will attempt
to hold the travelling champs in
check, the ]. A. Cs. waiting until the
following Saturday. 1t.
From the standpoint of the fans
the selection made but little differ
ence. What the general public
wants is to see the Chinese players
in action, and the Hawaifs are well
able to make them extend themselves,
although from their position in the
percentage table. II is apparent that
the Japanese are the stronger com.
bination at the present time.
At Athletic Park yesterday after
noon, there were probably half a
hundred baseball enthusiasts out to
get glimpse of the Chinese players.
One Of the most interested spectators
was En- Sue, the well known athlete,
who was prevented at the last mo-
ment from accompanying the team.
The players, as well as Trainer Sam
Hop, seemed to like the diamond and
are preparing in earnest for the game
on Saturday afternoon. According to
Asst. Captain Apau Kau, one hundred
and twenty out OF the one hundred
and forty passengers who came down
on the Sierra last Monday will be
out at the park to see the game. All
the players appeared in their uni
forms except Buck" Tin and Cap

1.-TWO minutes later poor Greeney
woke up to realization of the break

of the moment, he had utterly for
gotten the transfer-he had forgot

across his shirt-and, thinking him
self still a Chicago player and eager
to watch every point of coaching, he
had let me go by and sent me home.
"Greeney played against us like a
madman the balance Of the game,
but to this day you can get an ele-
giant fight by asking him about the
time when he let loyalty to the old
club make him forget that he had as

HEALANI Club
..... MUST move

Whether the boathodse of the Hea-
lani Yacht and Boat Club will have
to be moved from its present location
is a question that hinges on the &C
ton of the board of harbor commits
sioners on the proposition placed be-
fore that body for an exchanve of
waterfront property with the Inter
Island Steam Navigation company.
The InterIsland wants to install
in the slip on the Eva side of the
Healani boathouse. Part of this land,
including that on which the boat
house is situated, is government pro-
perry, on, which the club is a tenant
at will. Part of the space occupied
by the club building will be required
for the drydock, and if the latter is
installed the slip will be dredged to
a depth of about forty feet.
The proposition to give this land
to the Inter-Island in exchange for
4424 feet of other land is now before
the harbor commissioners in the form
be voted on at the next meeting, next
Wednesday afternoon.
Marston Campbell, chairman of the
board announced himself opposed to
the exchange, saying he preferred
giving the company license to use
the land, the license to have life so
long as the space is used for dry
dock purposes.
Just what provision, if any, will be
made for the boat club has not been
determined.

THIS YEARS RULES RESTORE
INTEREST IN GR|DIRON GAME

Football, which last year proved
rather disappointing from the specta,
tors standpoint will be clothed with
a new interest this season. The prob,
lem of properly arranging the offens.
i've and defensive strength of a club
has not yet been solved. Last year
the rules gave q great advantage TO
defensive work, so that il was almost
impossible for two clubs OF any,
where near the same strength to
score against each other. Every
handicap was placed on advancing
the ball and ground gaining was diff,
ficult and uncertain. The rules were
undoubtedly wise in ahciishing the
mass plays Of the old game and var
ious other features which used to be
unnecessarily dangerous, but any
rules which curtail the interest OF
the contest are striking directly at
its life.
It Is not the aim of the committee
to rob football Of all its entertaining
features for these features may all
be retained without adding to the
dangers Of the contest.
The football season Of 1912 offers
q variety of fascinating topics which
should serve throughout to keep 1t
always prominently before the pub.
lie view. An important feature of
the season will doubtless be an add
ed step in the long continued pro-
gress OF football In the West. The
day when Harvard and Yale usurped
the limelight is gone. True, the.
classic contest sbetween these two
oldest rivals In American college life,
is still supreme among athletic events
in the fall, but this is mainly due to
the wealth, of tradition which is still
associated with amy contest between
these ancient rivals rather than To
any superiority of their play over
that Of various other universities.
Within their own field Dartmouth
and Cornell have risen to dispute the
supremacy with the Fig Four" Har-
