ne at the kicking game, made him
an unquestioned choice. All agreed
that Muller, because Of his forward
passing, his defensive ability and
the threat he always holds ON the
offense, had no competition.
Erb of California was the choice
of eight sporting editors for quar-.
terback. while the ninth favored
Galloway Of L. s. c.. Yet, it would
seem highly questionable whether
the Trojan, valuable as he proved to
lis team, could be considered the
equal of Erb rs a field general.
The halfback positions found num-
erous candidates. Nichols of Cali
fornia headed the list as the first
choice of six editors; Zeil of Wash
ington came next, with four editors
picking him. Baker of U. $. c. was
favored by three for a half back
position: two paid well deserved at
tention' 10 Wilcox of Stanford, while
King of Oregon, Nesbit of Califor-
MIA and Stivers of Idaho had one
vote each for first choice.
DeGroot is Choice
Passing to the line positions, Dud
DeGroot, Stanford captain, Callison
of Oregon and Gallagher of Califor-
mia were the candidates for center.
DeGroot won his place with five edi-
tors giving him as their first choice;
Callison had three strong hackers,
and Gallagher one.
Clark of California was the favor
ite among the guards, with Calland
of L. s. C. second, and they were
awarded the two positions. Kuhn
of Washington, however. was first
choice of three papers, Dean of
California and Shields of Oregon
were picked by two, and Faville of
Stanford received one vote.
Selection Of tackles brought out a
wide difference of opinion. Several
names were advanced, including
Beam of California; \. Anderson of
L. s. c.: Dunton of Washington
state: Lockev of Oregon Aggies; In
gram of Washington University;
Stanley of st. Mary 5 and Grim of
Washington.
On final analysis. however, Dun
ton of Washington was found to be
the heaviest favorite with five edi-
tors naming him rs first choice,
while Beam wa5-Hext, the favorite OF
four.
The remaining end position went
to Berkpv Of California, who was
fret ebo;rp n . six of +hc SnortS writ
ers. Hail of Washington and Py-
THAN of [. s. c. were the others
given cosideration.
The nine editors who collaborated
in the selection of the team repre-
sented all parts of the coast. From
Seattle. the Seattle Star and Times
were represented. Portland furnish
ed selections by George Bertz of the

TWELVE MILLION
TO Be SPENT ON
S. P. EQUIPMENT

Announcement was made today
by William Sproule, president of the
Southern Pacific Company, that
construction of freight and passen-
GER costing $12, 100000, has been au-
thorized for 1923, for use on the
Southern Pacific lines. The equip
ment is to be of the finest type and
will include 1925 freight ears and
141 passenger cars, these being IN
addition to the 5000 standard re-
frigerator ears and 800 refrigerators
equipped for passenger train serv-
ice, representing an investment of
S15,000,00 recently authorized by
the Pacific Fruit Express, in which
the Southern Pacific and Union Pa
cific companies hold half interests.
With such complete rolling equip
ment as this assured, local authori-
ties feel there is great cause foi
rejoicing in the valley. For several
seasons shortage of refrigerator
ears has always hung over the
growers as u possible menace, and
with the cantaloupe, grape, grape
fruit and lettuce crops mounting u
greater proportions yearly, 1t has
become more and more evident that
Imperial Valleys prosperity de-
pends in large measure upon com
plete shipping facilities. This an
nouneement is particularly timely
in view of the fact that active pre-
parations are now under way tc
harvest the lettuce crop.
The freight ear equipment to be
built includes $500 box ears, 800
stock cars, $50 gondola ears, 800 log
ging ears and Is eabooses. The new
passenger rolling stock includes 60
steel coaches for local service, 10
steel coaches for main lines, 10 steel
diners, Il steel buffet baggage ears,
! 50 steel combination mail and bag
gage ears and 10 steel baggage cars.

This is the status of things at the

Unable TO hold her any longer, he
seized a pillow, to bury the veromous
little head that writhed, biting,
under his clutch.
As he lifted it he saw a packet
lying Under it.

As ne seized it She screamed for
the first time: Jack! Jack Stor-

him full in the face with her head.
Half stunned, still clutching the

stomach; but the aImor Of bed

MS violence dashed all breath out
of her.
Sick with the agony Of, it, speech

as he stumbled 70 his feet and turned
to escape, she struggled upright,
choking, blood running from the
knife pricks in her neck.
With the remnant Of her strength,
and still writing and gasping for
breath, she tore herself from the
sheets and blankets, reelad across

stood, threw in a cartridge, dragged

Dimly She saw a running figure
in the night mist, flung the rifle
across the window sill and fred.
Then she fired again-or thought
she did. There were two shots.

His cry terrified her; the rifle clat-

After Stormont had gone out and
closed the door, she lay very still
for long while.
Then, instinctively, she touched
her lips with her fingers; and,
at the contact, a blush clothed her
from brow to ankle.

of her party, including Mrs. Mary Ste
phenson, Miss Mary Stephenson and
Mrs. William G. Sullivan, have been
enjoying their trip immensely. They
first visited Niagara Falls and Toron-

visit Miss Ida Stephenson, former
school nurse here, who is now located
there. Last Sunday they enjoyed an
automobile ride to Waterford, Pa.
This spot was formerly Fort LIE Bout.
The party visited and drank from a
spring which is noted by having been
visited by George Washington and
Marquis de Lafayette. The party has

Mrs. Sullivan went to Chautauqua on
Tuesday, and from there they went to
