LINES PLANNED

Reorganization plans of the Western
Pacific as explained in circular letters
being sent out include the building of
more than $20,O00,OO0 worth of
branches in the intermountain coun
try and California that the road may
be supplied with feeders and be placed
upon a basis where it will be self
supporting, and S10,000,O00 for other
improvements, says the Star u. II.
Rollins & Co. and the bondholders'
committee which has charge of the
reorganization plan, have sent notices

tending branch lines and building
feeders.
One of the feeders which the reor-
ganization committee decided upon is
the Winnemucca Northern, which will
run from Winnemucca TO Boise. This
line has been surveyed and B. f. Bush,
when president of the Denver & Rio
Grande-Western Pacific, attempted to
raise the necessary money in Europe

Il rich cattle, agricultural and mining
country for more than 200 miles.
Another line which the reorganiza-
ton committee contemplates is the
building of feeder from San Fran.
cisco south through the San joaquin
valley to tap the citrus fruit country.
In Nevada q number OF branch lines
are being considered to give u greater
local tonnage to the Western Pacific
and another phase of the proposed rc.
organization plans in the making of
traffic agreements with electric su-
burban lines in California, which pass
through districts producing heavy ton
mage. One of these lines is the Oak.

'E;OTHER" JONES CALLS FOR
HAPPY HOMES IN AMERICA

coal fields if the present demand for
soft coal keeps up, Mother Jones told
a Day Book reporter Sunday. She
says operators are expected to give in
to the demands of the unions this
spring. Mother" left Chicago Sun
day for Indianapolis, where last week
she brought the two warning factions
of United Mine Workers of America |
together.
THE outlook is not so promising
in anthracite fields" she says. "Oper-
ators are not expected to give in to |
demands of miners. Strike is likely. |
Thousands of tons of coal have
been stored away by railroads. Some
industries have contracted for de-
livery for months in advance, fearing
an industrial struggle"
Mother Jones is hopeful in general. |
She sees better wages and better |
working conditions for American |
workingman. She thinks the little |
revolt" in Youngstown taught money
kings a lesson. She expects more |
voluntary increases like 10 per cent |
raise in steel industry.
Mother Jones laughed at the Euro
pean peace emissaries. "The absurd |
philosophy of it," she said. Think
of going to Europe to stop the war,
while back here our kings are yell
ing for preparedness. That bunch of
welfare workers should have stopped
in Boston and called on the society
there is an effort to stop child labor.
They would have done more good and
spent less money.
'As for preparedness, why the ar
ticles being printed by some of the
papers are infamous. Did Lincoln
shout preparedness? Let this coun-
try prepare happy homes before they
talk of defending them.

as busy as bee hives Saturday, and

This is regular Saturday business

feature appears in the city streets full
of autos at night. The autos go home
for supper, and the family return
for the evening amusements, or a
party of young folks on the farm
drive in to attend the entertainments.
The autos are changing life on the
farm very rapidly, in association, in
a~musements, and even in dress of the
people.

LOOKOUTS DANGEROUS

The soueeze is not the only dangerous feature of the Iookouts assisting of fense'-that is, assisting the hitting. The locals can steal bases. Every man on the infield is streak on the base paths and knows how to make it good. In the outfield much depends on what the new comers show, but Ovid Nicholson, the Western leaguer earned his reputation mostly by his speed He is one of the best base runners seen in the Western ieasue in many seasons Fred Nicholson is also a dangerous citizen on the bases and seems to have a pretty good idea what to do with his speed
 Making all the allowances for the fact that the Giants were trifle weary and perhaps not at their best Wednesday, the fact remains that any minor league outfit which can pull squeeZes, steal bases with reckless abandon, beat out bunts, and the like on a major league club show them up in every department. in fact-has ''got something

ing fine form during the past week and Moley is highly encouraged over the pros poets of having another strong bunch of pitchers In all probability, Karl Black will be sent to the mound to face the Methodists for short period. Ponder may also be given an opportunity to try hls skill on the collegians.
 Hauser and Smith will be used behind the plate Red" is in fine shape and may not be worked. Hauser has been showing up good and it now appears that he has the second catcher's job
 about cinched. He is suffering from a slight soreness in his begging arm, but
 little nursing will round it into shape. Derrick on first, Clark on second, Lind say at short and Mcdonald at third will be the way the infield lines up. O'Rourke may be given a chance at short and Lindsay at third during the game. In | the outfield Coombs will be in left, Werner in center and either Carroll or Hartle in right. These are the only out fielders remaining in the Baron camp. It
 now looks like fight between the last three named to fight it out for the right and centerfield positions.
 The Methodsts will present their strongest lineup against the Barons. Gus Nation, the star twirler for the Pinson aggregation, and one of the best anna teur fingers in the city, will occupy the mound The Methodists, although not as strong as last season, have a good team. The team is especially strong in hitting but equally as weak in fielding. There is no doubt but that the Barons will be furnished strong opposition. The | Methodists are in fine trim and Coach Pinson is confident that his boys will make a more creditable showing than other school teams who have met the Rarons and received their slaughter. An other game with the Methodists will be
 played on Monday

EXCITING CAME WON BY AUBURN FROM
 THE GEORGIA TEAM
WestbrOok Knocked Out of BOx-Jenkins' Hitting Features Plainsmen's
 Victory

Auburn April 7.-(Special.)-In spec tacular and exciting contest here today, Auburn defeated the University of Geor- the score of to 5 Auburn excelled in all deparaments of play except base run ming. Reckless chances on the bases cost Auburn runs in the early innings. The Auburn players seem to have got ten into their hitting stride, as they hit Westbrook hard all the game, and in the eighth, with fusilade of line drives, drove him from the box and greeted Phil pot, his successor, with a single and triple, putting the game on ice.
 Reckless base running by Auburn and sensational fielding by Georgia in the pinches, kept Auburn scoreless in the early innings, while Miligans pitching, backed by errorless support, was too much for Georgia The game rocked along in this fashion until the sixth, when Auburn scored two on a single by Steed, walk to Prentergrast, an infeld out and single by Jenkins.
 Georgia tied it up in the seventh and went one better in the eighth, when Clements hit a homer to deep center. The Auburn batters were not to be de- nied, though, and Steed started the in ming with walk and both he and Pren- tergrast were safe when Rawson jug gled Prentergrast's attempted sacrifice Ducote's scorching single scored Steed and Ducote took second on the throw in. Westbrook was yanked here to all low Philpot left-hander, to face Jen- kins, but after swinging at two the Au- burn shortstop singled sharply to right and both runners scored. Just to put the game on ice Milligan hit a triple to left. Holden caught a hot drive off Gr1ffin's bat and doubled Milligan off third and the rally ended when Harris was thrown out at first.
 M1lllgan pitched a remarkable game Clements Homer getting the only earned run off his delivery and the first ball hit to the outfield by Georgia Griffn's Milligans pitching and Jenkins hitting were features of Auburn's play, while Captain Clements was Georgia's Iumi- nary. Ducote showed improved form be- hind the bat.
