CITY MATTERS TONIGHT
NOT EXPECTED THAT PETITION
TO DUST sTockLY WILL BE
PRES TENTED YET.

The Hancock city council will hold
a regular meeting this evening. a great
deal of important business being
scheduled TO come before the members.
The petition that has been circulated
asking for the recall of the general
manager may bc presented this even
ing, but This is hardly probable as the
men backing the movement have not
yet secured enough names TO make the
petition have much weight with the
council. A counter petition has been
suggested and probably will be started

and presenting several loop holes that
would make it impossible to secure "A

to prosecute any one for violation, ac-
cording To City Attorney Lawton, and
he has prepared new ordinance.
The most important matter that will
come up will be the Front street inn
provement plan, the agreement with
the Quincy Mining company relative
to this having been signed last night
by the city officials and the company's
representatives.. The trouble i'm the first
agreement seemed to lie principally In
the clause which prevented the city
from using any other material for the
big fill except that to be obtained from
the excavations to be made i'm the
Cooper estate property, and as the ma
terial to be obtained from this source
will not.be enough TO complete the MI,
the general manager wanted permis-
zion to make use of the material OBJ
tained from grading Cooper avenue.
The company officials were afraid that
the work on the Cooper estate would
not be undertaken in case this was
done and insisted that their plan oe
carried out, but this was finally com
promised by allowing the city to use
other material providing the work on
the Cooper estate was being carried
on simultaneously. The agreement
was altered i'm a few minor details at
the request Of the city and undoubtedly
will be ratified at the meeting of the
council this evening.

University of Washington, Seattle.
TAM. 2S.-Jealous of the big salary Of
$1,000 a month that Coach Gilmour
Dobie, formerly coach of the II d.

of the greatest football coaches on the
Pacific coast gamers for teaching the
Washington ~" team how to win the
northwest championship each year, the
university faculty at its meeting re-
Gently protested against the ''exorbi-
tant expenditure and only allowed it
after the chairman Of athletics and an
other professor had made strenuous
speeches in Dobie's favor.
Ever since Dobie came here there has
been a feeling among the faculty that
there is something unfair about a sys-
tenn that gives a football coach $4,000
for three months work, three hours a
day, while the average professor must
dig away nine months from twelve to
fifteen hours a day. to get half that
much.
The opposition c~rystallized at the
meeting into an open expression of
objection, and the two professors who
held out in favor Of the former flick
ertail coach al Fargo, NJ. d., were the
only ones at first who were not hostile
to the existence of such a condition at

FAST AND EXCITING.

The senior-freshman game reopened
the high school hockey league yester-
day afternoon. The ice was in good
condition and a fast and interesting.
although somewhat one-sided game
resulted. The seniors succeeded in
making five goals each half and won
10 to 0.
During the first ten minutes the
freshmen put UP a great fight and
held their opponents scoreless. From
then until the last few minutes of play,
the seniors had things just about the
way they wanted them. The freshmen
rallied at the close but were unable
to score.
The seniors showed the better team
work, Booth and Blk being their
stars. Powell did some good work
for the freshmen. The goals scored
were Kelley, 1; Blk, 2, and Booth Z.
The next game will be the junior
sophomore contest on Friday after
noon.
