CAPT. s. c. C0LHOUN
|D|ES AT AGE OF 81
Served on Oregon in Famous
Dash Around South
America.

Capt. Samuel C. Colhoun. U S. N,

years old and had been retired since
1903.
1t vas In the old days of the Navy
when wooden ships were still numer-
Gus, four years after the Civil War, that
Capt. Colhoun. then youth of %, was
given a commission as assistant pay
master in the Navy.
One Of the best known of the wooden
ships on which Capt. Colhoun served
as young man was the Ossippe, which

bile Bay. Others he liked to recall
were the Marion, the Saugus, the
Canonius and Monongahela.

Capt. Colhoun twice made the voyage
around South America, through the
treacherous Straits of Magellan The
first time was aboard the Oregon and
the second time during his final years
of service on the Iowa in the early part
Of 1900. But it is the 14,000-mile dash
On the Oregon that still remained as a
vivid recollection after more than 80
years.
With the Spanish War brewing, the
oregon was brought from Puget Sound
to San Francisco in March, 1898. Built
as a coastline battleship, the oregon
was the pride of the fighting force. On

Key West on May 26. 1t had made
the remarkable run of $4,000 miles
around a continent, under the most
trying conditions, in 68 days.
Capt. Colhoun served aboard the
Oregon in its engagements In Cuban
waters, and later was transferred to
the Iowa, where his sea service ended
He was made pay director in the
Navy in 1908, and shortly afterward re-

WILL SURVEY
VALLEY TRADE

Ell Centre business men will be m
terviewed on February nd lO oy
Harold w. Wright, domestic trace
commissioner of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, in the
course of Survey OF trade conol-
tions in Imperial Valley.
The purpose of the survey is TO
increase the trade between Los An
geles and Imperial counties. Wright
points out that during the past
three years Los Angeles county has
tripled its purchases of Imperial
Valley fruits and vegetables, an
unusual condition during years OF
economic stress.
I'm addition to our greatly IN
creased prichases of Imperial val
lev products" Wright states, Los
Angeles county last year bought
over $4,000 tons of Imperial Valley
hay, 100000 pounds OF butter, 3o'-
600 head of sheep, 250o0 head OF
cattle and 10000 hogs.
1.-THE ability of Los Angeles cotin-
ty to continue as customer of I'M
perial Valley is largely dependent
upon the sale of our own manufac-
tured products. When Ell Centro
merchants buy goods manufactured
in Los Angeles, they are in effect
putting money in the pockets OF
Imperial Valleys best customer. The
growth of this reciprocal trade will
do much to improve business in our
respective communities.

Of BASEBALL
By JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Feb. 6. (U.P)-Major
league baseball's greatest mistake
is It's lack of interest in the anna
teur game, Branch Hickey. general
manager of the st. Louis Cardinals,
charged last night at the annual
New York Baseball Writers dinner
in the Hotel Commodore.
Rickey, organizer of the Cardi-
nails "chain-store" system for de-
veloping young players, said major
league owners and players failed to
show proper Slterest in the thou
sands OF youngsters on high school,
college and sand lot teams. Club
owners and big time plyers should
realize the 20,0O0,000 boys and young
men in the nation who look up to
diamond heroes as their idols will
be the baseball fans and players
of tomorrow, he said.
Il believe we have a great busi-
ness, a great sport that now is clean
and wholesome" Hickey continued.
1--WE are keeping faith with fans.
young and old, by furnishing an i'l-
teresting, honest game. But there
we stop.
1--WE should have a program that
provides Tor support of boys teams,
that provides for keeping up inter-
est of boys who play and boys who
watch. And above all. we should
use our influence TO prevent base
bali from being abandoned because
of the depression by high school,
college and semi-pro teams"
Rickey's address was feature of
the dinner given in honor of John
j. McGraw, former manager of the
New York Giants. McGraw was
presented with a distinguished serv-
ice plaque by the writer's for his
contributions to the game during
his 30-year reign at the polo
grounds. He retired last June.
