Many Examinations For
Civil Service Positions

Those who have an ambition to serve
the government in the railway railway
or mail service will have to bide a wee
as the postoffice department has issued
circular stating that no examinations
will be held for this service until after
July l, 1916.
But next January several eXamina
tons will be held for government posi-
tions, to take place in Seattle. These
are mostly for specialists and the aver
age man would have but little chance
of passing. For instance, positions are
open for that of radio inspector and the
man who can pass an examination with
a percentage that entities him to consid-
GRAFTON, will be paid salary of 800 a
month, and later as much as $l6250 a
month.
The government is willing to pay an
assistant surgeon $1,000 year, with a
raise to $2,400 after years of satisfac.
tory service. A civil engineer is en-
titled to the same amount, but the man
who secures position Of this kind,
must come in competition in an exam
ination, with specialists.
With the almost certain assurance
that ship building will be undertaken
on an extensive scale within year or
so, the government has need of those
, who knaw how to design hulls, and who
ever can pass the examination in Seat.
tie next month as designer Of hulls,
viii lbe placed on Uncle Sans payroll
at 5000 a month.
A fish pathologist is worth $2,500
year. AS no one but specialist could
take such an examination, the govern.
ment is liberal with the payroll On
the same supposition that teacher Of
agriculture does not require years Of
training, such position is worth only
5000 year.
These examinations will take place in
Seattle during January and anyone who
is ambitious to serve his country at a
fair remuneration, might apply to the
local postoffice for additional informa'
ton.

AURORA HOP NOTES

Aurora dealers who have checked
up every bale of hops in the Aurora
section state that the exact number of
bales in growers hands outside the
association is 1904, As this section
ordinarily produce about from one
eighth to one.tenth of the states crop,
there ought to be, according to their
figures, between 10000 and $4,000 bales
left in Oregon, in the hands of growers
outside the association, provided, that
the other hop sections are holding the
same proportion of their hops that Au'
rora is holding. 1t also appears from
their figures that the total crop will
exceed 100000 bales.

NELSON STILL CLAIMS

ply will not hearken to reason. For over
two years the once Durable Dane has
been informed that he is no longer
there as a ring star. but the Mayor Of
HeGewisch believes otherwise. and Is
quite ready to prove it with a practical
demonstration.
For over a year Nelson has smOthered
within him the desire for battle. But
the spark was famed into a flame when.
last week. he acted as chief second to
Leach Cross in his tilt with Young
Shugrue.
Nelson actually fought a battle by
himself while directing Cross plan OF
campaign. The old battler thought he
was in all his glory once more; that he
was still the worlds lightweight cham
pion. and that the plaudits were all for
him. II was a strongly reminiscent scene
when Bat went into the corner occupied
by Cross.
It revived memories of a Thanksgiving
afternoon two years ago when the same
Cross administered an unmercifuI beat
ing to the venerable fighting machine,
Battling Nelson. Now they are the
closest of friends.
In these times of uncertainty 1t would
not be surprising to hear OF Nelson
breaking out once again and insisting
that he is the logical contender for the
worlds lightweight title.

HARVARD GRID TEAM
FOLLOWED THE BALL
Percy Houghton, Coach Of Cambridge
Football Team. Gives This as
Success of Team.

Percy HOughtOn. a coaching fellow. tells
us that the success Of the Harvard
elevens in the past has been due very
largely to the fact that he has ordered
his men to follow the ball. Perc made
those remarks recently when asked to
explain the great work accomplished by
Harvard. But Percy, as you will notice,
didn't reveal the secret of how he gets
his men to carry out his orders.
The fundamental principle of football
coaching is-"fOllow the ball" Every
coach in the country tries to drill it into
his men. But few succeed. Haughton
succeeded where others have failed.
II Houghton would unbOsom himself to
the point where he will tell how he
handles his men so that they will fol-
low the ball every minutI during the
game, he will be comforting a large favor
upon Francis Hinkney, of Yale, and other
coaches. They instructed their men to
follow the ball But It didn't do much
good. About the only thing the Yale
fellows did against Harvard was to fol-
low the Harvard ball toter-two jumps in
the rear.
How did you do it, Mr.. Houghton? Did
you club the boys on the knob and
threaten to club 'em some more II they
didn't follow the ball? Or did you
threaten to deprive them ,of breakfast?
Or did you promise them all a flobert
air rife and 81 for spending money?

LIMIT OF PLAYERS
WILL HELP FEDERALS
Independent League Clubs Will Save
$4,000 on New Law Major
Also in on Deal.

Reducing the player limit 10 twenty-one
means that the clubs each will save about
S30.OOo year in salaries and travelling
expenses. This saving will more than
make ur the extra wages the magnates
have had to pay their stars to keep them
from jumping TO the Feds. 1t will mean
that the clubs in 1915 will operate on a
lower expense basis than they did in
1919 before the Federal League became a
menace.
The reduction of the playing limit to
twenty men will save the Feds $4,000
also and that means that many of the
clubs. with a fair break in weather con-
ditions and a fairly tight race, will make
money in 1915. even if the attendance is
not very much greater than ii was in
1914 Those Federal League clubs that
lost money in 1914 lost amounts that
ranged between $1,000 and $4,000.
