LAKELAND DEFEATED
,BARTOW q TO I

Lakeland leads in basketball as in
everything else. Summerlin lnsti-
tute met her Waterloo" yesterday
afternoon on the local high school
campus when the Lakeland boys
completely overwhelmed the Bar
toWites.
The game had been well adver-
tised, and, owing to the keen rival
ry between the two teams, nearly a
thousand people witnessed the game,
This crowd was greatly augment
ed by a special train from Barlow,
which arrived in Lakeland about 3
o'clock. Automobiles by the score
came from neighboring towns to see
the game. This, together with a
good per cent of Lakeland's popu-
lation, made up the crowd.
The game, which was scheduled to
take place at 3 was little late, Ow-
ing to the prelminar,es
Tension was intensely high, and
the game commenced with a snap
and continued with rush to the
final close.
AT the end of the first half, Lake
lands score was IS, BartOw's A. BY
this time the Barlow rooters began
to see the Handwriting on the
wall" realizing that their team
was doomed to defeat. In the mean
time, Lakeland's rooters were wild
with enthusiasm They had waited
long and patiently for this oppor-
tunity. and now that it was here,
they embraced it with relish.
College yells and counter yells rang
out from all parts of the ground till
the vast multitude became one wild
scene of shouting enthusiasts.
Between halves, the second teams
of Barlow and Lakeland clashed for
twenty minutes, resulting in a vic
tory for 4akeland's second nine,
to 1.
Then followed the last half be-
tween the big teams, which was
even more tiercely contested than
the first, and furnished more spec
tacular plays to the delight of the
audience. The result of this half
was even more decisive than the
first, the score standing for this
half Lakeland 70, Barlow 3.
Lakeland has won every game
played this season, and the great
victory yesterday afternoon was the
crowning act of her achievements
thus far
The best of feeling prevailed
throughout the entire game, and the
referee acted with such complete
fairness that not murmur was
heard on either side. The consensus
of opinion was that the refereeing
yesterday afternoon was the best
seen on the local court this season.
After the game, the crowds
swarmed down town, making the
streets veritable sea of humanity
Mingling among the crowd yester
day were a great many local busi
ness men, showing that the town as
well as the school appreciates the
team.

UNITED RAILROADS
 WAS PLUNDERED
SENSATIONAL REPORT IS MADE BY THE CALIFORNIA RAIL
 ROAD COMMISSION.

San Francisco Calo May 23,-As- serting that it's order was made nee essary by the 'plundering of the United Railroads of San Francisco Of upward of a milSon dollars by the corporations former president, Pat rick Calhoun, on the authorization or directors and stockholders, the Cali fornia Railroad Commission gave re luctant consent today to the borrow ing of more money by the United Railroads for the purchase of rolling stock.
 The commission instructed the company to report each move made in carrying out the order, advised that dividends should be suspended until outstanding indebtedness is met and announced that because the same stockholders who had authorized the diversion of funds still were in con trol. it hereafter will supervise the financial operations of the manage ment.
 In an opinion accompanying its order the commission says its audi tor found that in August, 1912, the di- rectors of the United Railroads had adopted a blanket resolution approy- ing all previous expenditures of money by Calhoun. of whatever ua- ture, and authorizing him to make any further disbursements he might consider for the best interests of the company"
 This same action was taken later at a stockholders meeting. Follow ing this, Calhoun in 1913 withdrew ST. O96, ,O00, ostensibly for investment in sharea of the Solano irrigated farms, d land selling project which after ward collapsed. The commission says however, if has no proof that the money ever went into the Solano | project
 All that the United Railroads show for tie $l l,096 900 is Cahoun's promis- sorry note, which was listed in its as sets at s1 by Jesse Lilienthal, who 1 succeeded him as president

SCHOOL CONTRACT
 IS NOW ACCEPTED
HARTMAN CONSTRUCTION co. OF ST. LOUIS WILL BUILD

The Mistake in the Bid of Something Like $it,ooo Will Be Just That Much Saving to the Taxpayers.

The c. Hartman Construction com pany of St. Louis, which was the lowest bidder on the high school building in the estimates that were opened by the school board last Mon day night, and which company re- oeiyed the award, will build the building, carrying out it's contract
 Soon after the award was made 1t was discovered by the Hartman com pany that a mistake in it's estimate Of something more than $l1000 had been made. and the company then entered into negotiations for the siy- ing back of the contract, if the $2,0OO required as a guarantee of good faith in the bidding, could be returned to the company.
 The school directors naturally would not consent to any such ar rangement as a return of the certi- fled check that had been deposited. It was stated that the Hartman com pany then negotiated with the second lowest bidders, Brock, of this city but that npthing resulted from that negotiation
 The Hartman company has agreed to take the contract and to give us a good job according to the speciiica- tions," said MT Claude Marsh, secre- tari of the school board, yesterday, and the incident is closed. be- leve the saving has been a material one to the school board, and thereby of course the taxpayers of the school district.

EiftY Miles an Hour

Gen. Sir W. F. Williams, the hero
OF Kars, on visit to Canada, was
desirious of reaching Portland on
Saturday evening. He came from
Quebec to Island Pond by thu regu-
lar train at 4 o'clock p. m. ,on Satur-
day. The Grand Trunk railway
company requested S. T. Gorser,
Esq. the superintendent of the Port
land section, to give him an express
train to Portland, which order was
promptly executed.
Mr.. Warren Noyes oflsland Pond,
one of the employees of the Grand
Trunk railway company took charge
OF the engine Berlin as driver and
left Island Pond at 4:31 pm. with an
eXtrastrain and reached d Gorham, So
miles, in a trife over one hour. The
engine Eliphalet Greeley, in charge
OF Mr.. Grant, then took the train
and reached Portland station at 1885
D.m., or in 3 hours, % min ltes, from
station to station, a distance of $50
miles, including all stoppages. The
train stopped at South Paris and
Danville Junction, and twice this
sidepf Danyille, where bridges were
undergoing repairs. The actual run
ming time from Island Pon1 to Port
land did not exceed 3 hours.
Mr.. Corser, the Napoleon of the
track, quietly sat in his office at
Portland and received the dispatches
by telegraph as the train came up
to time at each station, and so ex-
actly were his orders obeyed that
not single failure of a seconds
time was noticeable. Not the slight
est accident or mishap of any kind
occurred, and the general was so
delighted with the conduct of the
engine drivers, Noyes and Grant,
that he handed each one sovereign,
a token of regard, as unexpected to
them as it was screditable to his
sense of duty. The night was dark
and tempestuous, the rain falling in
torrents all the way. This made the
duty of the engine drivers all the
more trying and difficult.
We do not recollect circumstance
on record where a better achieve
ment than this has been accomplish
ed on any railroads taking into ac-
count the dangers of night travelling
in the face of driving storm.

The following is taken from the

should prove interesting reading for
local railroaders although the "old-

the story.
While the time between the two

this time, it should be remembered
that the roadbed and equipment in
