STANLEY HAD
BIG BLAZE

Stanley, n. D., Feb. 13.-The gen.
eral store of Theodore Evenson in
this city was completely destroyed by
fire of unknown origin late last
night.
The loss on the stock and fixtures
is estimated at $4,000, and on the
building itself at $4,000.
This loss is partially covered by in
surance, tut large part of it Is not
protected.
The origin of the blaze is q mys-
terry. 1t was not discovered until
the flames had made such headway,
that it was impossible for the citi-
zens to check them.
1t was only by heroic efforts on the
part Of the fire department and cit
liens that the fire was prevented from
spreading to other buildings in the
vicinity.
Had there been a high wind IL is
highly probable that the entire bus.
mess section Of the town would have
been wiped out completely,
The store contained much inflam
mable material which apparently
caused it to burn like so much finder.
The flames made roaring beacon
which could be seen for miles around,
and caused many of the farmers in
the vicinity to hasten into Stanley,
thinking that the entire town was be.
ing destroyed.
The insurance on the stock is said
to amount to about $4,000, and the
fixtures Of the store were also in.
sured, whether or not there was any
insurance on the building itself is
not known.
The store was a general merchan
disc concern and was the largest es.
tablishment Of the sort in the coup.
try around Stanley. It's destruction
marks the passing Of an old land
mark, which has been well known
since the early days Of the county.

RICHMOND ON THE FIRST LAP
BY 6. VI. JOHNSON.

On February l3. at Asheville, " c..
the Southern National Highway Asso-
citation was formed for the purpose
of constructing and maintaining a
national highway through the South
from Washington. d. c., to San Diego,
California. This association was
formed by delegates commissioned by
the Southern Governors. The States
included in the organization are Mary
land Virginia, West Virginia, Ken
lucky. North Carolina. Tennessee,
South Carolina, Georgia. Florida, Ala
bama. Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkan-
sas. Oklahoma. Texas. New Mexico.
Arizona and Southern California The
linking together of these States by q
transcontinental highway has created
new South. or rather the newest
South. which extends from ocsan to
ocean.
The origin of this enterprise is
traced to three groups of men. each
group working by Itself and with
out knowledge of the efforts OF
the others. until recently all three
joined hands In tho Asheville con-
ventlon. One of these groups lab
ored in the Far Southwest estab-
fishing highway eastward from San
The leading spirit among them was
Colonel Delft NJ. Potter, who is said to
be the ablest advocate of good roads
In America.
The second group identified with
the enterprise consisted of North
Carolina men led by such men as DR..
Joseph Hyde Pratt II. B. Warner,
president OF the North Carolina Good
Roads Associations; Colonel b. Cam
eron. the Hon. Locke Craig. Governor
of tho State; f. C. Chambers and
DR.. c. p. Amber. OF Asheville. and
others whose labors have resulted in
the building Of THE Central High
way of North Carolina" from More
head City. on the Atlantic coast. to
the Tennessee line. Colonel Cameron
saw highway stretching westward
from the Itlantic toward the Pacific
Colonel Potter saw a highway stretching
eastward to meetit. Colonel Cameron
was helping build al great Atlantic; Coast
Highway from Quebec, Canada, to
Miami. Florida, which would be fin
ished I'm two years, GoIonel Potter had
aided In securing the Pacific Coast
Highway from Vancouver, B. c.. to

had conceived the idea of uniting
these highways by a highway across
the South. 1t was hitting therefore

CLOSE RACE IS
PREDICT Ed
IN 1914
All Clubs, With the Exception
of Portland, viii Be Much
Stronger
BY JOE MURPHY

It is generally contended that the
teams of the Pacific Coast league. with
the exception of Portland. will be
stronger next season than they were
during the year Of 1918. If this con-
tention proves true. then the race for
the pennant should prove highly ex-
citing.
The clubs representing San Fran
cisco. Venice and Los Angeles have
secured new material. which promises
to bolster up the weak spots. The
Seals look better than they did las,
year. We will have to wait, however.
and learn the identity of the two
players Manager Del Howard expects
TO sign before shouting the cause of
the Seals too loudly
II seems almost a foregone conclu-
sion that Hap Hogan's club viii be
at least 20 per cent stronger than it
was last year. The addition of Bill
Leard is sure to prove a benefit.
Second base was the weak point of
the Tiger lineup last season, but now
that Hogan has secured Leard to play
the initial sack. Hap need not worry
about the territory between first and
second not being capably covered.
Some of the fans are doubtful about
Hogan getting the work out of Leard
that he is capable Of It is such
players as Leard that Hogan can
handle and the writer is willing to
take a chance at predicting that Leard
is in for a great season and that he
viii be one Of the stars of the south
ern club.
The Los Angeles club will have
some new pitching material that
looks promising. and Berry has hopes
of getting Infielder Joe Berger from
the Chicago White Sox and Infelder
Ray Borton from the New York Yam
KEGS. With the players he has Sc
cured to date and Berger and Borton
coming, Berry will have team that
will be hard TO beat
The Oakland lineup is a hard one
to figure at this time. If Devlin
jumps into the game and holds down
the second sack. the infield of the
transbay club will look mighty good
with Ness. Devlin. Cook and Hetling
on the firing line. The Oaks are sadly
in need of a couple of good pitchers
The Beavers of last season was one
of the strongest clubs that ever played
in the Pacific Coast league. A couple
of the players will be missing next
year, and the club can hardly be ex-
pected to be as strong as the COM
binatiQn that represented the north
ern city during the season of 1913.
Baseball conclusions are based on
past performances. If the players
who will represent the various teams
of the Coast league play up to their
expected form, the fans can count on
close race.
It is said that Ray Borton. the first
baseman Of the Yankees. who is
wanted by Hap logan of the Venice
club and Henry Berry of the Los An
geles club. is troubled with bad feet
and this is the reason that Manager
Chance of the New York club is turn
ing him adrift.
Art Shafer, third baseman of the
New York Giants. has announced his
retirement from the game again This
The San Francisco call and post., 1913-12-18

time 1t is said that the former Santa
Clara college boy is on the square and
he is going to quit professional base
ball for good
When Manager Muggsy McGraw of
the Giants was south with the globe
trotting baseball players he had talk
with Shafer. Mac asked him If it was
true that he was to retire from base
ball, and Shafer replied in the af-
firmative.
Mac tried to lure Shafer back by
offering him more salary and give
him the privilege of joining the club
when the playing season commenced,
instead of joining the team at Marlin,
where 1t Will train. Shafer told Nc
Graw that he was in business with
his father and that he was out of the
game for good
A general complaint was made by
the players of the different clubs
about the condition of the Sacramento
ball field. They claim that it is full
of gulleys and holes and is sadly in
need of attention. It is claimed that
a player is never sure of himself on
the Buffalo park ball field.
The scribes in the south say that
Walter Slagle, Bill Tozer and Bill
Page will have to hustle to keep their
jobs next season. They will be taken
to the training camp, but they will
have to show the goods If they hope
to make the team.
