them so that they couldn't get loose.
Ebbets found many of his players
Nery coy about signing. Ebbets knew
it was case of paying the men the
salaries they demanded or leaving
them open to jump to the Feds. Eb-
bets didn't parley much. He paid the
men what they wanted-and that
means that he paid many of them from
$1,000 to $4,000 more than they got
last year and just that much more
than he would have paid them this
year if it hadn't been for the activity
of the Feds.
Not only did Ebbets sign up his
men for one year, but he got their
signatures for two and three years. He
wanted Ed Ruehlbach, the big pitcher,
to sign up for five years, but Ed
turned him down. 1t is said that Eb-
bets even went so far as to go to
olayers who were under contract for
1914 and thus immune from the Fed
sral attacks of the present, and offered
yhem contracts for 1915 and 1916 at
increased salaries.
Ebbets admits that the signing UP
of his players this year cost him be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 more than
ne expected it would cost. Ebbets
perhaps lost more money this way
! than did the other Is magnates in the
big leagues, because he had more play
ers on the reserve list than did the
others. But from all the information
that can be gathered it seems that it
cost each major league magnate about
100000 extra to sign up his players
this year. There are 16 magnates, SC
the total is $4SO,OOO.
The 16 magnates of the two class
AA organizations are said to have
paid out at least $1,000" more apiece
to sign up their men than they die
last year, which adds about $4,000 te
the total. The total-because the Fed,
passed most of their players by di
srecting their efforts to getting tht
major leaguers of the class AA men
These figures totaled together viii
show that the "joke" Federal league
has cost the organized baseball peo
pie just about half of the combined
profits they looked for in 1914. Ant
from all that can be noticed just now
it looks as if the Feds were going tt
hut into the attendance of organized
baseball in 1914 in such way tha
organized baseball's vast profits o.
She years gone by will be thing o1

ALL LINES OPENED
AFTER BLOCKADE

Los Angeles, Feb. 27.-With the re-
sumption of service on the Southern
Pacifc's coast line last night and the
promised "bringing in" of the Santa
FEES foothill line and of the Salt Lake
main line, wonders have been worked
by railroad officials in lifting South
ern California from the slough of
severed traffic connections created by
the greatest storm in 80 years.
The first train out for San Fran
cisco over the coast line was the Lark
which left here at 8 o'clock last night
which left for Santa Barbara at 4:45
o'clock in the afternoon. Two trains
were also routed out of San Francisco
over the line and the restoration of
normal service is expected today.
By means Of cribbing on either side
of the San Gabriel river trouble, be-
tween Duarte and Azusa the Santa Fe
expects to get it's foothill line in oper-
alton today. Stub service was being
maintained yesterday between here
and Monrovia and San Bernardino
md Azusa. AS the Santa Fe has
lines east, no interruption
to train service, either for San Fran
cisco or Chicago, has occurred since
she trouble at Hobart the second day
bf the storm.
The Salt Lake will positively have
Its line rebuilt tomorrow through the
Meadow washes. Service is being of
fered from here to Las Vegas and Salc
Lake City to Como.
No dates for the resumption of
service on the Southern Pacifc's Nord-
koff and Santa Paula branches and the
Ealt Lakes San Pedro and Pasadena
Vines have yet been set, though all
lines will probably be in service the
coming week.

stance, that the army's machines are
as good as any made, and it might
also mean that they are as good as
can be obtained by corps working
with miserably small appropriation
and uncomplainingly risking their
lives with characteristic courage and
devotion.
Lieutenant Posts death is the four
teenth in this little group, and it has
been pretty we'll demonstrated lately
that aviators with such skill as that
credited to him can save themselves
from any aerial mishap except the
failure of their supporting planes.
Such a failure is reported in this case.
If it did happen, Mr.. Beachey's charge
is practically verified, for the present
estate of the art" permits the build
ing of machines the wings of which
do not "crumple" under any strain
to which they can be subjected in
the air That Lieutenant Posts death
resulted from a break of this sort
may be a fact and it may not, for
observers on the ground sometimes
see as crumpling what is only a
change of position from horizontal to
vertical.
Even if there was no structural
failure, however, the type of aero
plane in use was not vindicated. The
lieutenant fell from his seat as soon
as his machine overturned, and that
alone is enough to show, first, that
it lacked the attachments necessary
to make him secure-attachments
which the best aeroplanes all have,
nowadays-and, second, that the un-
fortunate young officers style of
flight was out of date, since his life
depended on keeping his machine on
an approximately even keel. No such
limitation is imposed on aviators of
the new school-the men like Niles
and all the other followers of Pc
gound-for they, if high in air, can
recover control of their machines from
any position into which sudden gust
of wind may throw them.
From all this the almost inevitable
conclusion is that the aeroplanes OF
the United States army are not "the
best available" and that we are need
lessly sacrificing valuable lives.-New
York Times.

A vast fortune lies at the bottom OF
Salton sea-black sand and ruby grav-
ell. 1t was extremely rich in gold, but
in 1878 it was impossible to obtain
water, so We cleaned up as much as
we could and went north.
