runners, and the game was over II
to 10. a..
From the standpoint of good base
ball the game was ragged, but as a
means of furnishing diversity of en-
tertainment to the spectators it was a
bear. There Were shutouts, and swat
tests, scoring in all but three innings,
three times the score was tied, and at
no time more than three runs
lead for either team. Pasco opened
by putting one across the first and
the K-R boys duplicated in their half.
In the second Pasco showed three over
the plate and issued a goose egg to
their opponents. The third was Pas
co.'s undoing. Only three Of their men
faced Foley who had relieved Lake
on the pitchers mound, and three err
rors, three hits, one singing three
bagger by Kirkpatrick, drove in five
runs for the K-R boys who sent nine
men to bat in their half Of the inning.
Pasco came back for two runs each

NEW RAIL LINE
TO YAKIMA VALLEY
President of p. S. s. & /. Says
His Company Plan to Ex-
tend Its Lines.

President j. E. Morrison of the
Puget Sound, Spokane and Interna-
tional railroad arrived. in Yakima this
morning with the cheering word that
his line, on which construction has
already begun, will bring the Yakima
valley closer to the Atlantic sea-
board than it is now to st. Paul. In
addition it will shorten the rail route
between Yakima and the Pacific coast
and give direct route to Portland.
President Morrison, with other
members Of his party, will meet with
the Commercial club, its board Of gov
ernors and others for dinner at the
Commercial hotel this evening. At
that time he will explain in full all
his plans for the new, line. Among
its other advantages are the fact that
it. will cross the Whatcom county
anthracite coal fields, which are now
being developed. Mr.. Morrison states
that the company has ample funds
on hand for all present undertakings.
"Our line opens land which is prac-
tically undeveloped," Mr.. Morrison
says, with unconcealed enthusiasm
for his project. "Among the virgin
fields, as it were, which our line will
tap is the big Colville reservation.
From Spokane the line to the Canadian
boundary is about 112 miles, and we
make connections with the Calgary,
Fernie & High River Saskatchewan
Railway company. 3
This will constitute our transcon-
tinental road, 1892 miles long, making
a route to Europe 1900 miles shorter
than any existing route from the
Pacific ocean. Estimates have been
made by the traffic experts who claim
that when this road is completed there
will be at least 50,000,000 bushels Of
Canadian grain per annum coming
over the route to the Pacific coast"
According to present plans the line
will run from Brewster to Yakima,
crossing much of the arabic land Of
that great empire, and from Yakima
to a point near Pasco, from whence
the line will continue across the state
line and down through Oregon to
Portland. Possibilities in tapping
such an enormous acreage, heavily
productive, can hardly be pictured, Mr.,
Morrison says Yakima Republic.

batsman both scoring. Yedica fann-
ed and Broughman and. French were
thrown out at first and the inning clos
ed with the score 8 to 8.
In the first half of the tenth Moss

error, and scored on Shelby's bingle.

ed out because of coacher's inter-
ference at third. The inning ended
with the score 10 to 8 in favor Of

PROJECT AWAITS
WATER POWER BILL
Jones Saye There Will be Mil
lions Of Horsepower and
New Navigation,

One of the hopes which people OF
this district has entertained for a GOOD
many years, seems now to be realiz.
ed. 1t is the passage by congress OF
a water power bill. 1t has been gen.
orally understood for several years
that as soon as satisfactory legisla-
tion has been enacted development OF
the Priest Rapids project would be
undertaken. This project will COM
bine the generation of hydro-electric
power, canals for irrigation and locks
for navigation.
Senator Jones, chairman Of the
senate commerce committee recently
gave out the following interview re-
garding the water power bill:
"The water power bill was agreed
upon in conference would create fed
eral power commission composed Of
the secretaries Of war, agriculture and
interior. This commission would have
authority over all matters pertaining
to the development of water power
in which the federal government has
jurisdiction or in which it is interest
ed as an owner of lands or other prop
erty necessary to such projects.
The commission may issue prelimi-
nary permits allowing applicants
three years in which to make examina-
tions of water power projects, prepare
plans and make final arrangements.
The commission may also issue le-
censes for a period of so years, or it
may reserve such projects as may be
undertaken by the federal government.
Preference must be given by the COM
mission to states and municipalities,
if they are equally adapted to utilize
water resources.
The bill also would encourage the
building Of head-water storage res
ervoirs to equalize power production,
prevent floods and obtain water for
irrigation purposes after being used
for generation Of power. Provision
is made for construction of locks in
power dams in navigable streams, SO
as to extend navigation into the up
per reaches Of rivers.
Senator Jones, in a statement, said
he was informed that water power de-
velopments to be undertaken on enact
ment Of the bill would have capacity
Of more than 1900, ,000, 900 horsepow-
er and would open 1000 miles Of the
upper reaches Of streams,

ums, homes for the aged, societies Of
laity and religious devoted to deeds
Of charity, are the direct result .of
practical Christianity, asserted the
Venerable Preacher.
