from the demonstration farm of
the Otero Agricultural association
and saw it backed up by exhibit
after exhibit of every kind of grain
even to feterita, which the dry
farmer has found so successful
this year-they had to admit that
the Arkansas Valley led in some
thing besides cantaloupes, sugar
beets, alfalfa and that new forage,
sudan grass, which exhibits at the
fair showed was particularly ad-
apted to the dry-farming districts.

city few years ago. But II Is
common phase of baseball that
the average city will not support
persistently slumping team. and
Tacoma Is no exception. In the
past few seasons the Tigers have
played good ball. but the other
teams of the league have played
just a little better. And as a
result. during many games OF
the past season, 1t was no unusuaf
thing to see less than 800 paid
admissions at Athletic park.
McGinnity is blamed by some
fans for the Tigers standing dur
ing the last two years. But
those who know baseball declare
that McGinnity could not AFFORD
to buy better players, and that
he was forced to sell his best
players in order to break even''
financially.
Tacoma is still willing to sup
port baseball team, IL the team
and its owner show a desire to
properly represent the city.

and IL the outlaw organization Is
successful in landing these men,
Manager Del Howard will have a
merry time filling the hole they
will make in the lineup of the
local club for next season.
The men who have been OF.
fered inducements to jump to the
Federals are: Roy Corhan, crack
shortstop of the Seals, who has
been offered, according to Man
ager Howard, a nice berth on tho
Philadelphia National team next
season; Walter Schmidt, conced-
ed to be the best catcher in the
league; Justin Fitzgerald, the
Seals star outfielder, and Char
ley Baum, leading pitcher on the
local club.
The Feds were hot on the trail
of Corhan last season, but ]. Cal
Ewing, owner of the eSals, re-
fused to allow his star shortstop
to get away from him and held
the fast little infielder with a fat
contract. Fitzgerald's work has
attracted attention In big league
circles and he is wanted by many
clubs. He looks good enough for
any company, and the local club
is going to have hard time hold
ing him.

Jack Sheridan Is dead. Dean

and umpire at Oakland, CAL.
where, early in his career, he
came as a star infielder.
Off the field Sheridan was one
of the few umpires who loved to
mingle with the players and own
ers, and who enjoyed yarn or
tanning match as well as any.
On the field he was a good fell

he was mad. or had a bad day

get to the coast. me Oakland
team was going in bad form. I
think 1t lost IA of the first 16
games.
"The club sent me more money
and I wired I would be there.
The next three days the Oakland
papers were printing seven COL
umn lines announcing that Sheri-
dan, the greatest of all second
basemen. was coming to rescue
the team; that Sheridan would
make the team champion.
They printed my picture five
columns wide, and got out extras
announcing that l was approach
ing, and bulletins announcing my
progress were posted all over the
city. The whole town turned out
to meet me and escorted me to
the ball park. That afternoon I
made five errors and kicked away
the game.
1.-THE next day I made seven
errors and the next day six. At
the end of that game the long
suffering public leaped from the
stands. l saw them coming and

WANTS AIR FLEET

Arthur Lynn, who is here to
figure on an aviation fleet for the
new Chinese republic. On his
return to China, he will organ
ize a corps of Oriental aviatOrs
who will manipulate the Ameri-
can-made machines.
II see great possibilities in the
field or aviation for my ambitious
young countrymen," said Lynn.
Some day I figure that we will
meet Japan in conflict and when
that time comes the airship will
play no small part, and conse-
quently we do not want to be un-
prepared"

Grand Forks. N. D., Dec. 29.-An-
nouncement was made yesterday by
Vice President Kinney Of the Great
Northern rai;:oai over the long dis
tance telephone to the secretary Of the
commercial club, definitely setting the
date at January 2 on which the new
and improved schedule on his road
running through Devils Lake and
Grand Forks would begin. At that
time No. 1, the Oriental Limited,
changed some time ago to run over
the Surrey cutoff west, thus missing
this city, will again pass thru here. In
addition to this Grand Forks will have
No. % the fast mail east, and Nos. 8
and 4, giving the city the most desir-
able passenger and mail service that
it has had in it's history.
There has been no announcement
yet as to the times of these trains but
they will evidently be ready within a
few days to give to the public.
The news definitely stating the day
of the new schedule will be received
by the citizens of Grand Forks with a
good deal of pleasure and appreciation

ENTIRE CABINET TO CONSIDER
AMERICAN NOTE ON COMMERCE

London, Dec. 30.-Foreign Secre-
tary Grey returned to London from
the country and this afternoon meet
ing of the cabinet was held at which,
before full muster of his majestie's
ministers, the protest of the United
States government concerning existing
rstrictions on American commerce was
discussed.
The note of the American govern
ment has only just reached the British
government, and it is likely to occupy
the attention of the ministry for con
siderable time.
In the meanwhile it is understood
that Walter H. Page, American am
bassador, will be invited to go over
the entire question for Foreign Sec
retary Grey.
Washington's communication to the
British government holds first place,
not only in newspapers and editorial
columns Of newspapers, but wherever

1t is contended everywhere that
mutual good will surely bridge this
difficulty and obviate further irrita-
ton.
"We have not the right to feel ag-
grieved because of the American en-
deavors to mitigate the losses which
the wa inficts on the merchants and
manufacturers Of that country.
"It contends that it is to the interest
of neutrals as well as belligerents, to
shorten the tar, therefore neutrals
should sub'rit to any reasonable re-
strictions which are likely to have this
effect. ~
Why does not the United States
addres its remonstrance to Germany
and Austria, instead of Great Britain?

itself answers its question by explain
ing that command of the sea permits
France and England alone to exercise
the right Of searching and OBTAINING
