Elk county, Pennsylvania, the Bill
ken and Peter Pan of the game.
Waddell was mine of fun for a
sporting page humorist; horrible
example for the temperance lecturer;
a Joy to the fans; a terror to batteTs,
and nightmare to the managers
who had him.
A boy who never grew up, the gi-
gantic Waddel was basebalPs Peter
Pan. At one time he was almost a
national figure because of his eccen-
tricities.
Baseball was more joyous because
of him. He was jester, but his COM
edy never harmed anyone and he was
never vulgar. He was a fun-maker
extraordinary. He drove away gloom
like the sun dispensing fog. He
made everybody happy. Millions
smiled at his antics. He was the Bill
iken of the game.
Now Waddell, victim of tubercu-
losis, is paying the price of his years
of night-hawking and revelry, but
those who know him best say he will
greet the reaper with a grin and
joke. ...
Waddell went from one team to
another between 1897 and 1900, but
in 1901 found" himself and became
a mighty factor for Jim Harris Chi
cago team. The day Wadden and
Mathewson fought their duel, which
the "Rube" won, he was a Chicago
hero.
WaddeIl loved the lights. He liked
to don bartender's apron and serve
drinks to a crowd. Once, having
wandered upon the stage of the
alter where an animal act was on, he
fooled with a lion until the beast
clawed his arm, whereupon WaddelI
repaired to police station and, while
his wounds were being dressed, I'M

upon "Rube" would shoot them
across so fast they looked like mar
bles.
While with the Athletics Waddel
pitched the first game of a double
header, winning after IA innings, and
then refused to leave the box, win
ming nine-inning game. He won a
20-inning contest from Boston,
against Cy Young, and a Thinning
game from Bill Dinneen. He offered
to pitch a four-game series against
the White Sox and won the first two
games, but was knocked out of the
box in the third. ....
Wadden tried football at Butler,
Pa, and when he walked upon the
field with a key of nails balanced on
each hand, the opposing team left
the field.
In the winter of 1904 Waddel
starred in "The Stain of Guilt" His
act consisted of foiling the villains,
but he put so much realism into his
acting that new villains were neces-
sary every week or so.
Many of the tales told of Waddell
were exaggerated. He left a delight
full memory, free from stings. A phys
icaI marvel, with few equals as a
fun-maker or a pitcher, irrepressable
and devil-may-care, he sowed fun
broadcast.

CTATE HIGHWAY AGAIN

~ Recently the Press took occasion
to review the report of president
Wilder of the Ocean To Ocean Highway
Association, showing that he was iS-
noring the interests of those who
would actually make use Of the state
highway. In reply to This. the Redland@
Facts says:
''As the Press suggests, ii is to be
presumed The object of the state build
ing highways is to develop trade and
give convenience to The public. The
only trouble with the Press is that
it seems to think the people OF I'll
Centre are all the people. 1t does
not seem able to comprehend The fact
that there are other people to be con
venienced than those of FL Centro:
other sections to he developed tnan
those lying between Ell Centre and
San Diego. The Press oNerlnoks what
is wanted by The town Of BraWlcy in
its own valley. by the people Of Their
NAL, of Mecca. Of Coachella. Of lndio.
Of Palm Springs. of Banning. of Beau
mont. of Redlands. of Cotton. 1t would

and Inconvenience five or ten of these
other places. even if it We're to he
conceded that the one would he best
served by the southern route. The
fallacy. even the seltishness. of such
an argument is evident at once.
LET it be humhly suggested 10 the
FL Centre Press that there are other
places on the face of the earth beside
the southern part of the Imperial val
ley. And perhaps it Is because the
president of the Ocean to Ocean High
way Association has no financial in
terest in the Imperial valley lihe
confession made in his argument that
seemed to interest the Press most
that he is able to see the point made
above: that there are others besides
The Imperial people. In short. the
Press editorial is special pleadin@-for
a special people. a special interest.
special sectiOn-aS against The bigger
and broader interest of the greatest
good to the greatest number. And if
the reply of the Press is the best lhat
can be made against the argument adj
vanced by Mr.. Wilder. the statement
of the Facts when this argument was
issued that it was unanswerable seems
TO be proved
The above article will not stand
analysis. To begin with. il is well
that there should be road from BraW
lev south Of The SaItOn sea. through a
region where there will be large area
of irrigated land, and thence through
Coachella valley to Beaumont and or
to the coast.
But the fact is that for each settle
ment the traffic will lie to the wesI-
ward, and Coachella valley will have
no use for a road eastward, while even
the people of Brawley and the land
siong the Salton sea, when they un.
dertake trips to the coast, would find
the southern route by far more de-
sirable.
There is a large population being
built up in Imperial county on the
Colorado river who should be brought
into easy communication with the
county seat. and the northern route
does not accomplish that object.
The Press does present itself as
q special pleader for single class Of
people-the class which will use the
poses against the interest of the
divert the road for town booming pur-
poses, as against the interest of the
people who wish to use the road IN
the regular course Of business and
pleasure.

The following letter from Col. Ell
Fletcher to the state highway commits

fighting for long desert route from
Ell Centre to Los Angeles via san Ber-
nardino. is published here for The iirsl

state Highway Commission,
Sacramento, Cal.
Gentlemen: am in receipt of a
copy Of an open letter addressed to
your honorable body by q: w. Wilder,
president of the Ocean to Ocean High
WAY Association. and am amazed at his
inaccurate statements.
In the first place il is approximately
i15 miles from san Bcrnardino to Ell
Cenlro. instead of l61. Again, Mr..
Wilder says the distance from San
Diego to Ell Centre by the proposed
state highway route will he li5 miles.
The correct distance by the present
road is I25 miles. hut when the road
from Coyote Wells to DiNicland is built
thc distance will he shortened four
miles. making the total distance from
san Diego to Ell Centre i2i' miles.
But. owing to the fact that there
are three incorporated cities between
san Diego and Ell Centre, through
which cities the state highway will
not be built by the state but by the
cities themselves. the actual mileage
to he built by The state highway COM
is reduced approximately ii miles; :;
therefore the state highway commits
sion via the san Diego route will have
i0.~ miles of state highway TO build
via san Diego and FL Centre. as com
pared tu i15 miles from san BCrnar-
dino to FL Centre. saving in actual
road construction by YOU Of GS miles.
instead Of 1 miles. a. per Mr.. Wilder's
statements.
Quoting again from Mr.. Wilder, he
says: "The road from san Diego to
Ell Centre with such a grade as your
commission wishes to construct offers
many engineering problems" This
again is wrong. as san Diego county,
with its bond money, has already con
san Diego county. a distance Of sc
miles. a first class road. the grades
and alignment having been established
by your chief engineer, Austin B.
Fletcher. no grade exceeding per
cent
In Imperial county the citizens of
san Diego are now spending SGT, 900,
as 4 donation to Imperial county to
build magnificent roadway from
Mountain Springs to the desert, no
grade exceeding ! per cent, and the
work will be completed within the
next sixty days. Only yesterday your
engineer, Mr.. Clark, The engineer OF
the seventh division of our state high
way commission. informed me person.
ally that he was we'll pleased with the
work we are doing, and his only re
quest was that the balance Of the road
be built on a per cent grade
On the desert itself. there are no
engineering difficulties as there is not a
grade TO exceed per cent: in fact, we
only have Is miles of desert on our
entire route from san Diego to Dixie
land. and with good material To work
in the entire distance, practically all
of il being hard sandstone forma-
ton.
Mr.. Wilder says HAT The road from
san Diego 10 FL Centre passes through
a mountain range on miles of which
no water in any quantity can ever be
put. with therefore can never be de
Veloped. This statement is certainty
a joke. For the first 50 miles out of
