TRACK MEN HIT ". S. c.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Idaho ROOters Will Go En- Masse to
See Classic Struggle.

The biggest event in the spring
athletic calendar of the University will
be pulled off at Pullman Saturday
afternoon when the track teams rep
resenting the two institutions will
clash to settle the cinder and field
supremacy for the 1919 season.
Comparative dope on the two teams
is scarce and predictions as to the
final outcome are hard to make at
this time. Washington is strong in
the distance runs while Idaho I'M
doubtedly excells in the sprints and
weights.
Always Close.
The annual dual meet between the
two schools is, outside of the football
game, the greatest attraction and they
have always been hard fought from
start to finish. Such scores as 81
to GA and Sc to IS in 1916 bear evil
dence of the hard fight that Pullman
put up before taking the count and
every indication points to an equally
bitter affair Saturday. In 1915 in
order to win, Idaho was forced to take
first in the 220, the next to the last
event, and win the relay. The rooters
that accompanied the team on that
trip can testify to the excitement that
was cut loose when the last man on
the relay team romped home winner
by thirty yards. Close and exciting
finishes are in order Saturday and
the meet will be close the whole dis
lance.
Mentors Quiet.
The coaches are backward in giving
out any advance dope but the usual
bear story from across the line has
been floating around for some time
and the less of it gathered in the bet
ter. Doc Boiler always has better
team than he is wont to admit and
the team that meets Idaho Saturday
will not be doing their events in the
slow time that was published for the
public after their interclass meet.
Let's Go With Them!
Good support from the bleachers
and bank will help lot to drive the
men on for that final sprint or for
The few inches more that are needed

b. K. II. Grew Rapid ly After Merger
Arranged by Ex-Governor Flower

The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany first came into prominence
through the activity in its affairs Of
the late Roswell p Flower after the
conclusion Of his term OF Office az Gov
crnor OF New York. 1t was his broker
age firm which financed the early oper-
ations OF the property and brought it
INTO the financial limelight in Wall
Street
Governor Flowers own account Of
how he became interested in Brooklyn
traction affairs, given shortly before
his death, is interesting. At the time
cording TO the former Governor, as the
solicitation OF friends he went over to
Brooklyn and looked the situation
over. He became convinced that Brook
Ign would grow rapidly and that the
increased business due TO the growth
OF the population would make the in
Vestmcnt IN traction securities there
profitable one.
Il then wont 10 the butcher and the
corner grocer and advised him 10 buy

Sensational Deals
The fluctuations Of the stock during
these years and the sensational deals
ard counter deala that were consum-
mated in its securities form one OF the
most romantic stories Of the most ro
mantic period Of Wall Street tinancier-
ing.
From the time Of the linking OF tho
subway system Ct the boroughs OF
,Eanhartan and Brooklyn, during the
administration Of Mayor Gaynor, the
3. 2. Z. has BEEN under tie hottest
Of financial fires and has had to run
the gaolut of attacks FROM every direc-
: ion.
In Marca. 1911, after numerous bids
had beer received by the city for the
construction OF the subway System,
ard after the Hudson and Manhattan
Railway Company OF which William
c.. McAdoo vas president, rad pro-
posed to put $4,000, 900 into the
equipment and operation Of modified
tri- borough system and the offer had
been withdrawn b. Mr. NcAdoo, the B.
r. T. made its first proposal to operate
2 subway line up Broadway, Manhat-
tan, 10 Fifty-rinth Street in connec-
ton with & subway and reconstructed
elevated system in Brooklyn. Later il
made q second proposal 20 extend its
proposed subway system so as 70 in
