AT LAST, THE FISHWAY
FOR THE DERBY DAM.

Following the nine years fight to
secur an adequate fishway at the
Derby dam. which has recently been
won through state efforts with the
department of the interior at Wash
ington. work has begun on the struc-
tnre, as indicated by the following
letter just received by the Nevada
Fish commission. and signed by y
w. Cole, project manager:
I'VE began about a week ago TO
clear away the old fishway at Derby
dam and to prepare for building the
new one.
Bolts. spikes and other fasten-
ings have been delivered and the
lumber has been ordered. We were
expecting the lumber this week. but
today I have received a message
from the sawmill people stating that
they have placed the order with a
neighboring mill. This will delay
our receipt of the lumber for two
weeks, but thereafter We expect TO
put in the new fishway while the
river Is at low water stage SO that we
can get at the foundation of the
work below the paving of the main
dam.
I'VE are building this fshway sub
s%tantially according to your plans.
except that the construction Is OF
wood intstead of reinforced concrete
in accordance with the agreement be-
tween your commission and our de-
partment. The work will be of much
heavier construction than the old
fshway and of course the pools will
be about four times as large as the
old ones to comply with your plan.
Il expect to give special attention
to getting a favorable terminus foi
the ishway in the bed of the stream
so that an easy approach for the fish
will be secured. Respectfully,
ID. w. COLE, Project Manager

having whipped Jack. Johnson when
the black champion was young
conner. Then the money fairly rolled
in. He was eagerly sought for fights
before exclusive private clubs, with
millionaires at the ringside.
''Now it comes harder, he
chuckles, hopping his black brow.

He delights in recounting that fight
with Johnson, before the Galveston

WAR FOR PLAYERS
To Sue for Services of killifer
and Kirkpatrick Within
Ten DAYS Time.

Chicago, Feb. s.-Legal action to secure
the services Of William Kilifer and Enos

League will be begun within ten days. &C
cOrdng TO an announcement tonight by
Edward L. Gates. of indianapolis, chief
counsel for the league, who spent the day
in conference with James Gilmore. Fed
eral president
Mr.. Gates said, however, that probably
no legal effort would be made to keep
Leonard Cole with the Federals. as the
league officials had decided that he prob
ably was under a moral contract with
organized baseball at the time Of signing
his Federal agreement.
The suits to hold the players will be
brought by the Chicago and Baltimore
clubs. which hold the contracts of KILL
fer and kirkpatrick respectively. The
clubs will be supported by the legal and
financial aid OF the league.
These facts are undisputed.' said Mr.
Gates, in a statement o-nisht. Killer
and kirkpatrick signed with the Federals
when they had not signed or agreed TO
sign with our rivals.
We propose to protect those contracts.
Cole probably had accepted terms with
the New York Americans when he signed
our contract, although he had no con-
tract with them.
President Gilmore said tonight the fol-
lowing umpres had been signed for the
Federals: william Brennan, National
League; Steve Cusack Three-T League;
William Bush National and Pacific Coast
leagues; Barry Mccormick. manager of
Peoria club of ThreeT League, and
