OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 4 Special. In his rirst report to Governor Hay and the third of the State Highway rwpartment. II. I Bowlby recommends that 19 of the present state roads on whirh Washington has expended con slderable money, be abandoned and no further appropriations made for them. The report which has Just been Is sued Is a most remarkable document In many ways. It la In reality a text book on road-bul'.dlng and goes into Hrulli In manv subjects not touched unon before. The Highway Commis loner asks that the present Legisla ture make appropriations for his de partment in the aum of 1160.000, of which 1100.000 Is to go for office and orranlzatlon expenses. He believes the law should put no limit on salaries by statute but should leave that to the discretion of the Highway Commis sirrer. The Commissioner would have 1150. f0 in a revolving survey fund, to give plenty of ready cash to carry on work. nd after a road is completed to let It ray back to thla fund the share It borrowed for surveys. He also aska that $100,000 be appropriated for an xfcrlment station, probably to be lo rated at the State University, which Is already equipped to carry on thla work, to see If something cannot be round with whirh to build roads that will not go to pieces Immediately after being constructed, and. wants 1100.000 for highway repalrs- The extra $10,000 Is sought for the ?tirrne of having a traffic census or the state taken, to show just what roads are traveled moat, the kind o( traffic and the time of the year the travel comes. Another feature of the report Is the recommendation that a romrnlselon be appointed to go to lalem. Or, and Washlnrton. T. C. lo rherk up the early road records of Washington, as the Olympla data do lot date beyond Territorial days. Mr. Bowlhy thinks such an Investment wn.iM be well made. The feature or the report la round In the recommendation to wipe out state roads In certain sections, as he says the building of the roada Is a mere waste of money. He wants the Legis lature to make no more appropriations! for Road No. X. Newport-Orient. In Verry and Stevens counties: for No. X. Chelan-f kaglt. Chelan. Skagit and Sno borrlsh counties: No. 4. San Poll Loorcls. Lincoln, Perry and Okanogan rountlea; Wenatchee-Orovllle, Chelan and Okanogan counties: No. 11, Skagit River road. Skartt and Whatcom coun ties: No. IX. Methow-Harron.

Garfield and Aso tin counties, or for No. 1., Island- kaait counties. Road No. 17. th HtKhway Commissioner says, will con sist principally of two bridges over Inception and Canoa passes. The report declares the bridges are feasible but of doubtful utility, as the benefits to be derived will be small and at least IIOO.OOO will be needed to complete the work. The last Legtsla ture appropriated lIO.Ooo for surveys and construction but the Highway Commissioner has done nothing with the money, declaring It would be a waste to spend It. Th 10 Legislature appropriated tia.OOO for maintenance of state roads aad of this sum $M:J 7 was spent In Clark and Skamania rountlea on State Road '. . Road No. S is one for whlrfc the Highway Commissioner rec ommenJe a most liberal appropriation and asks that It be rushed through to completion. It Is known as the Colum bia River Road and runs from Wash- O'lgal. In Clark County, to Lyle In Klickitat County. Of the MS miles of proposed road. M miles have been located and $0 i miles have been con structed. He has also mapped out 10 new pro posed stale roads, as directed by the last Legislature. The list Includes a highway from Blaine to Vancouver. Wash., thenr easterly to Walla Walla and on to pomeroy and Dayton. A road la to connect Walla Walla aad Spokane and then a highway across the state from Spokane to the Sound may be secured by connecting the various state roads now under course of construction. The Highway Commissioner recom mends that a road be built from Kelso, In Cowilts County, through Wahkia kum and Pacific counties to South Bend. He says that a good earth road mar fc built for about $l.tooa mile Jack Donovan, who claims the light heavyweight wrestling championship of the world, passed through Portland yesterday en route to Cottage Grove. Iionovan Is scheduled to meet Carl Busch at that place tonight. Hugh McCredle Is trying to find out what kind of seed will best suit the Vaughn-street laseball lot for the com ing season. Hugh ought to experiment with seed that will grow without water ! the Summer, as the ground tender has been too busy to sprinkle the field In the past. www Rarney ( Idfield Is quoted as saying that James J. Jeffries was 'doped" be fore the Reno battle through having some decoction mixed In his "tea. Jeff might have been "doped. but the large majority of the "stung" patrons of the Reno engagement are Inclined to think that the big fellow forgot once too often to duck. Dave Dugdale Is going to start the training season with :7 ball players, and Is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his new manager. Jack TIghe. to Impart some glorious Information to the Seattle fans. Wonder If Dug Is going to "can" the whole bunch and Import a big league team, or Is he go ing to win the pennant by the first of April? Miles Netxel Is going to play Indoor baseball with the Spokane Amateur Athletic Club. If he does, the obstrep erous members or the Spokane Club ought to forget what the second word In Its title stands for. However, It may be that anything goes In indoor base ball In Spokane. Nelson Mose, the Multnomah Club boxer, who stopped a full swing from Joe Fran t as right with his Jaw Tues day night, did a few flip-flops for the benefit of the referee after he was dts Ouallfled. However, Nelson resumed his seat In his . corner after being picked up and had several seconds In which to brush the cobwebs from his think tank before displaying his ath letic talent. Not to be outdone In the number or ball players enrolled on his list. Joe Conn, or Spokane, now has 32 players signed and Is still looking for a f e w more "Greggs." Any young player who thinks he Is a Gregg or a Cooney can get his name attached to the Spokane reserve list by applying to Joe Cohn. Fred Lamllne, the pitcher coming to Portland from the Toledo Club, or the, American Association, and who was slated for a berth with Nick Williams' Northwestern League Club, is to play with the Pacific Coast League squad. according to a decision reached by Walter McCredle yesterday. "While Lamlino is not a left-hander," said McCredle yesterday, "I think he will fill the vacancy left by Gregg, and I think he Is the best of the bunch of recruits originally slated for the Northwest team. I must have a man to take Gregg's place and I think Lam llne will fill the bill. There Is a possi bility that I may get Eugene Krapp back, and if I do 1 can let Williams have Tom Seaton or some other twirler to round out his staff If he needs any. However, his present complement or twlrlers looks like a winner, and I don't believe either team will need strengthening after the season starts, but lr they do I shall patch them up before June, for I shall Insist upon the clubs being up In both races." For the first time since It became known that Pearl Casey was to be transferred to another club.'Manager McCredle discussed this player yester day when asked what disposition he had made of the popular player. "I tried to make a deal with Bill Rourke. of Omaha, for Casey," said McCredle yesterday, "for I have figured on Ball to take his place on the Coast team during the coming season, and that Is the reason I asked for waivers on Casey. Rourke originally agreed to give me the man Nick Williams want ed for the Northwest Club, but he suddenly called the deal off without any explanation. I then took the proposition up with Dugdale, who wanted Casey, but when asked for Joe Seaton in exchange. Dug wrote back that he could not use Casey at all, and that he did not be lieve that tha player could take "Pug" Bennett's job. Nick Williams told me that he had a youngster in view tor second base, btit I have written him that Casey still belongs to Portland, and unless a deal can 06 made he will report to Williams' team. . "I am going to have speed on my Coast Club this year, and with that Idea in view I am bolstering up all or the places on my team with players who ran run the bases. In Rodgers. Ball, Chadbourne. Perklnpaugh, Krueger and Ryan I have players who are not 'anchored' to the sacks when they get on. Heavy hitters are not a necessity In baseball now, ror base runners are the players who win games. Casey and Sheehan, both good players still, have slowed up as far as base-running Is concerned, and sentiment does not win baseball pennants. The tans want a winner, and that Is what I am striving to give them." Joe Tinker writes from Chicago that the cold weather there is a "fright." "Gee. but I wish I was bark In Port land." says Joe. and he winds up by sending best regards to all the boys and Buys that he will be with us Imme diately after the world's series In the FalL Denver Ed Martin, the Rocky Moun tain "smoke, was present at the ring side when Tommy Burns' protege. Jack Lester, so easily disposed of pete Mul doon. Denver Ed challenged the win ner before the right, but It Is a cinch bet he was not so anxious to repeat the challenge after what he saw. Vean Gregg, the big left-hander, and Gua Fisher, the Portland catcher, who are Wintering here, have signed con tracts with the Cleveland team for 1911. Gregg held out-for more money for a time, but he was finally pro vided upon to accept the offer of the Cleveland team, and he ought to earn an Increase In a very short time.
