MAJOR LEAGUES PAY HIGH FOR
 COAST STARS

NEW YORK, Jan. 19. - Bearded Forty Miners who invaded California with pick, shovel and wash pan in search of gold were rank amateurs in the laudable art of making money when compared with the present gen. eration of Native Sons who hold fran chises in the Pacific Coast League. Every day, in every way, these worthy gentlemen are growing richer and richer, and the really unique angle of the proposition is that there is no physical labor involved beyond the ad- mittedly annoying gesture of endors- ing the checks as fast as they come in. This in time is bound to become a bit fatiguing, but otherwise the life is endurable. The same may be said of Rockefeller's existence.
 John, however, must sell many bar rels of oil to make million dollars. Not so the Coast Leaguers. They merely sell a ball player or two and wait for the next Eastern sap. The wait is seldom lengthy enough to be- come actually tedious, and the finan- cial return is always forth it, anyhow.
 Nearly $500,O00 has found it's way into California from the major leagues within the last twelve months. It has gone west in a steady golden stream, and in return Coast League ball play CTS have come East in droves. When it comes down to a question Of base ball finance this body is the only major league in the field.
 And the end is not yet Indeed though they may protest voluoiy' every Eastern magnate is looking to +he Coast League for star prospects and is willing to pay the tariff be- cause he knows he has no alternative.
 "Why rob banks or hold up trains? one of them remarked aggrievedly the. other day. "TheSe come under the oN''S'
 head of hazardous occupations. All vou have to do is become minor league magnate, preferably in Cali fornia, develop a star, invite the scouts around to look him over; then sit, back, open the bids and endorse the biggest check" -.
 This, as rule, is reasonably large. The White Sox, for instance, are sald to have paid San Francisco $12O,OOO for Willie Kamm; the Giants gave the same club S75 O00 for Jimmy OCon- nell, and the purchase of Jake May from Vernon is believed to have thrown the Tanks for a loss of $100,- 900. Tn addition, Connie Mack is al legged to have paid Portland $75,0OO for Sam Hale, and a pair of mere $5O,0OO drafts found their way into Se- attle and Salt Lake City, respectively, as payment for Sands and Mack. The donors were the White Sox and the Phillies.
 Other transactions of minor inn portance, ranging in size from $3OOO to $20,000, have been completed dur ing the year just closed and con servative estimate would place the entire turnover of money from the majors to the Coast League at $750,- 900.
 A portion of the paym 2nt is made in players waived out of the big leagues, and the amusing part of the whole bus mess is that these discards are taken up by the Coast League, dusted off very carefully and shipped back East, at a prohibitive price, the following season, labeled New"

RELIC IS CALLED BIGGEST FIND
 IN YEARS

DENVER, Col, Jan. 19.-Make way for pre-glacial man, or memories of him!
 That's what scientists are doing in temporarily discarding the chrono- logies of Indians, Mound Builders and even the Aztecs of old Mexico in their efforts to establish, if possible, pre-glacial usage of rock image unearther by w. L. Chalmers near Grand Lake, high in the Colorado Rockies. He found the 66-pound stone six feet below the surface while en- larging an irrigation reservoir on his homestead.
 Mammoth animals outlined in the stone of blue granite are contempo- raneous with the Cro-Magnon period. The flat nose Is generally associated with a race preceding the Aztecs, ac- cording to J. Allard Jeancon, curator of the Colorado Historical and Ma tural History Society and at one time special archaeologist for the Bureau of American Ethnology at Washing ton.
 Important "Find'
 "If this stone can be proven gen. uine it is the biggest find in al: an- chronological research and antedatea anything on the American continent going to establish the remote antl- nuitv of man." continued MT. Jeancon. q have never seen such remarkable outlines of dinosaurs and mastodons"
 The rock image represents early man sitting and holding tablet with hands that have but three fingers. On the tablet are hieroglyphics which Ill a measure resemble signs or the Aztecs, Utes and Mormons. II the rock image is genuine, then all the others are copied from the sympols made by pre-glacial man; If not, then the imitation is unusually cOmpelllllS' Who knows? Scientists in New 1ork, Washington and Santa Fe are trying. to dociDher these characters, accord ing to Chalmers.
 The image through changes ln the consistency of the rock, has become harder than steel. Geologlsts WHO bova seen the stone say it would be innossible to"make these impressions today by rubbing with flint imple- n,ents It is fourteen inches hlgh' nina inches across the tablet ana about twelve inches through to 'he back.
 Glaciers Still Active
 Glaciers were still active Ill cu''lhs down the Rockies as recently as It" thousand wears ago, according to T. M' Van Tuyl, professor of geology at 'le ro1orado School of Mines. He has not ooon the imagine but has found alter nata dark and light-colored pahoe" rocks in the Denver Mountain parks noor to where the stone was 1oullo which, he believes, date back to the Arcnaan period. This indicates the numerous uplifts in the Rockies seV- eral times nearly worn away ana 'he contention of certain geologists that the stone may date back thousands ol years. -:,, mo raouests from museums and re- search societies for the prl'lles7 Ut taking plaster-cast impressions to studv tho rock image under strong glasses, or to borrow the freak stone

breaches STRONG SERMON
Large Congregation Hears Methodist
Pastor Sunday.

Sacrificial service was the key note
of the first New Year sermon Sunday
morning at the Methodist church.
The pastor Rev. T. NJ Christian used
as a text a passage from the 53rd
chapter of Isiah, "A Man of Sorrows
and Acquainted With Grief" the force
full message was a vivid portrayal OF
the suffering Savior in anguish of
spirit over lost world, and was an
appealing challenge to the loyalty OF
the church commissioned to carry on
the great work of bringing back the
straying to the fold. The idea run
ming through every sentence. No
church has found itself until it has
realized its responsibility to others.
The truths presented SO strikingly
were an appropriate prelude to the
communion service and deeply inn
pressed the large congregation. Lest t2

sermon of the evening which was
based on the scripture, Sleep on now
