CLUB, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
BOOSTING FOR s5,000,0uD STATE
HIGHWAY BONDS

If California is to assume and NAM
tain the premier place as an all-year-
round touring territory the S15,O00,000
state highway bonds will have to be
passed at the November election, say
officials of the Automobile Club of
Southern California who have gone on
record in favor cf these bonds.
An organization has been formed
with headquarters in Los Angeles,
and which will be represented through
out Southern CALIFORNIA, to take up a
campaign to show the bonds must be
passed.
This organization is headed by Hen

WHITE S0x MANAGER
NOT POPULAR WITH
g. CHICAGO FANS
BY HAMILTON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Clarence
Rowland, manager of the Chicago
White Sox, is an unenvied man. He
stands today the topic f knockers,
the undeserving recipient of derision
from a bevy of Chicago fans.
And Rowland's position is a peculiar
one. He could have done nothing to
correct it even if he had won a PEN
nant for the White SoX. The credit
would not have been his. The Chi
cago fans, much the same as any 9TH
er species of fans, would have placed
the crown Il the brow of another and
would have efused to see it alight
elsewhere.
Rowland started this season with a
club acknowledged to be strong eonugh
on paper, to walk away with the
American League championship. But
he struggled in the depths of second,
third, and even fourth place most of
the season. For short time he had
lis team out in front and then began
t. falter.
When the crack appeared in the
drive of his men, Charles Comiskey
sent out rush order for Kid Gleason
/ to report. The Kid did report and
the White Sox imme diately began to
come back. The result was that Glea-
son was given the credit. No matter
if it was Rowland's efforts which had
elevated the Six into their final chance
at the pennant, Rowland would not
have been given the credit. 1t would
have gone to Gleason.
Now the Chicago fans have placed
Rowland and Joe Tinker in the same
boat. Both of their heads are due to
drop, they declare, and they are pick
ing Kid Gleason as the most promin-
ent bidder for managerial post with
the White Sox.
The critics declare that Rowland
has had two chance with one f the
greatest teams the American League
ever saw, but they say he has failed
to make good. The have entirely over
locked the fact that Eddie Collins
slumped in his hitting and that Red
Faber was taken i'll at point where
his work would have done the most
good.
Rowland deserves some commenda-
Ition for the fight he has made with
his team, even if he didn't send it
hurtling down the seasons path to a
pennant. 1t is a good guess that the
former minor Lacquer will start the
season at the helm of the Chicago en-
try.

entail and public spirited men of af-
fairs who are awake to the burning
necessity of providing funds for the
completion of the state highway bonds.
When good roads, were first : dis
cussed for this state it was stated by
competent engineers that it would
take at least $35,OOO,OOO to provide
the necessary trunk highways and
their connecting laterals. However,
tt%was deterEaged that the road work
should be started BY issuing anly $751;
.900, 900 in bonds. These were passed.
Hundreds of miles of excellent paved
boulevards have been constructed in
the southern part of the state from
this fund, and now the voters are to

be given an opportunity to provide an
additional $15,0OO,00O which, although
much less than was originally called
for, will adequately supply the means
-of finishing the work so we'll begun
According to President Fred L. Ba-
kef of the Automobile Club, that or
.ganization, in it's educational cam
paign by every possible means, will
show other facts that the bonds will
be jaid for from the corporation tax,
and not by any tax upon the people.
The organization will be composed
|of 100 representative business men Of
Southern California, appointed by var
fious chambers of commerce and other
bodies interested in good roads and the
of the state. An execu-
tive committee Of five will direct the
campaign, assisted by the committee
of 100, and an Educational Commit
tee.
M SO pressing is the need for the high
ways, that directors and officials of
the Automobile Club of Southern Cal
ifornia have announced that the club
will stand large share of the cam
paign expenses, but that contributions
will be sought also from other sources.
~ Unless the bonds are passed in
November the state highways will have
to remain in the present unfinished
condition." stated Mr.. Baker yester-
day, at would be a crying shame if
the people of California, who have al
ready tasted the glories Of some of
the good roads, do not rass hy an over
whelming majority, these bonds.
: "Every community in Southern CAL
ifernia will benefit enormously by the
completed reads, In fact. this part
Of the state will be extremely fortun-.
ate in securing some of the most i'm
,portant Highways. in the country. The
commercial value of good roads cannot
be over estimated, and the offer of
touring facilities to the world will

VII be tremendous"
Fifty thousand "stickers" urging a
favorable vote for roads have been.
issued by the Automobile Club, and
can now be secured free of charge at
all branch offices and at the head
quarters. These are attractive, and
are,made to be pasted in the corner of
flIes windslnelds All club sign-rosting
trucks and road inspecting cars will
be ornamented with the stickers during
the bond campaign
Secretary L. S. Mitchell pointed out
yesterday that any desired informa-
ton on the issue may be secured from
the Automobile Club.

THOSE PEsKY CHINESE EGGS

A new phase in the Chinese egg
industry has recently developed. 1t
seems that the Chinese product is as
unpopular over the British Columbia
line as it is here and as difficult TO
dispose of when imported directly in
to Victoria or Vancouver. To over
come this it is authoritatiyely re-
ported that Chinese eggs in large
quantities are being imported into
the state of Washington and export
ed again into British Columbia as
the product of the United States in
direct competition with the wash
ington product.
Washington has nothing on Oregon
in this respect. Certain interests
have been doing this very thing here
for long time and are yet,-Port-

that the commodious parsonage was
built at a cost OF $4,000. Brother
Myers was a man OF great sacraficlng
spirit and did much to build up the
church.
After Brother Myers left the field
many names came before the church

that they were the one that God
wanted TO take the work. In Nov
ember the name OF our present pas
tor. Rev. ID. T.. Baker. came TO us
through prayer and held a meeting
with us at which time the church
was greatly aroused and many mem
bers added to the church. The
church was led to believe that he was
the one that God had sent TO lead
II into greater spheres OF usefulness.
The church extended n unanimous
call 10 Brother Baker to become our
pastor. After some reluctance he
accepted aud came TO us the first OF
January, 1915. We feel that under
his ministry that the church has been
greatly built up and fields OF activity
entered that before was almost un-
known TO the church, Under his
ministry this splendid house OF wor-
ship has been repaired and placed In
condition for better service for our
Lord. The cost OF the repairs has
been approximately $1,000. The work
has been largely done by the hands
of our pastor.
The church has had it's struggles
and disappointments, but has main
tained regular services most OF the
time since its organization. First TO
last there have belonged to this
church $50 members. OF which 263
now are on the records. One hun
dred and thirty-one have united with
the church since and including the
first visit of our present pastor in
November, 1914. We feel that the
church is in better working condi-
tion than at any previous period of
it's existence.
There Is a bright prospect ahead
for the church with its aggressive
workers and program will be heard
from in the extension OF the King
dom OF God on earth. The church
now has the eompletest auditorium
in the city and large congregations
are attending all the services, We are
praying that God may keep us hum
ble and use us to yet greater effec-
tiveness in this community.
