An old Indiun duck trap made out of saplings and used long before tho white man built a university on the shores of Lake Washington has re cently been exposed by the recession of the lake's waters. The trap, al though within a stone's throw of the lower edge of the campus, remained unknown to. the while builders and was even forgotten by the red men who live near. Years ago when ducks sought the shelter of the hay of Lake Washing ton which skirts the campus of tho university, the Indians devised ways and means of trapping the birds. They constructed a kind of stockade by driving saplings and boughs close together into tho bed of the hay where tho water was shallow. The effectiveness of the trap was height ened by a thick growth of reeds and rushes. Frequent openings were left in tho 3 ' hln'iii walls so that the birds might not have too hard a time getting into the trap. Once within the outer row of saplings the duck swam gullihly into a wedge-shaped area bounded by boughs. The more the bird sought to get out the closer he swam to the tip of the triangular space where he was seized by a tribesman. The trapping ground was inundated and rendered useless to the Indians when the natural outlet of Lake Washington at the source of the Black river was damned up by a saw mill company. The water then rose over the traps and established a higher shore line. Only within the last few days did the history department of tho uni versity leurn of the traps from nn old Indian. Immediately Victor J. Far rar, research assistant in history, in vestigated the mud flats recently ex posed when the water of Lake Wash ington found passage to the sea by way of the new government canals. He found the remains of the tr.ips and set to work to have their location surveyed. The survey results will be added to the historical documents of the university. Red Sox New Owner Former Bell Hor Peoria, 111., Dec. 8. (United Press) Harry I'Vazeo, new owner of the Boston Red Sox, world's champion baseball club, got his start to fame much the same as did Joseph L. Lun nin, late owner of the club. It was in this city years and years ago that Frazee, as a boy, worked in the old Peoria hotel as a bell-hop. Fr-i;.ec was a good bell-hop and a reputation that diners with him to this: d.iv n established among the patrcin. I Hopping bells in tho Peoria hotel. however, didn't last very long, for France jumped his joi, and went over to a hill-posting company, whiro he also became expert. Kis bill posting made him a habitue of local theatres, and ambition just naturally pushed him along until he linailv landed a job with a burlesque company as a "banner man," one of the bill poslers who is second in advance work. Frazee's climb to fortune started soon after that. He snved hi i,nnl, until he had enough to procure an in terest in "Mnloncy's Wcddirg Lay,'' and promoted himself shortly after ward to fame when he became con nected With "Uncle .Tnstl Rnn,.K" and "Uncle Josh Rimpkins." Furthor running around tho country with an occasional venture in imrin!n tu.. atricnl productions finally landed him in Chirairo where he o-iened n Knt ing office and tho way to easv sailinc hl me same lime, une of his best known sucesses was "Isles of Spice.'' Another wns "The Time, Place and the 'Girl." It has been his ambition, he recently declared to a friend who lives here, to own a baseball club. He always has been interested more or less in sports, and was largely re sponsible for tho fact that Jess" Wil lard won the world' heavyweight championship from Jack Johnson. Ho invested heavily in tho promotion of the bout, aftcrwurd faying he did it solely to bring the championship back to a white mun. Krazee also financed the world tour of James J. Jeffries and Prank Cotch several years ago. 'LEGAL NOTICES Notice to Stockholders.
