Tfinrfrinn' latest nurchase was a young fellow named' Goodwin, a right hand pitcher from the Milwaukee American association club. Sufficient recommendation is zipped into tne Dig circle through the announcement that Branch Rickey, first saw him' work, and decided he was to be purchased regardless of the price to be paid. In view of the fact that George Sizler nnd Ernie Koob, besides several oth ers, received their first strong recom mendations from the new president of the Cardinals, it is safe to say that Goodwin's advance notices -will not fall down. . Huggins always has bce.i just as good a manager as ho is proving to day.

Callahan first was a major league manager in Chicago, irtepping in there after a brilliant career as a pitcher and outfielder. Backed by Charles Comiskey's open purse he attempted to lead the White Sox to another ...n.nt hut-. Mr efforts were failures. He developed a marvelous pitching staff fine that ranked with the best.

(Special) The new Southern Pacific Building in San Firanciscp, the largest office structure west of Chicago, is 92 per cent complete, and arrangements are being made for its occupancy. One of the first items in the furnishing process calls for the laying; of 24,000 yards of linoleum which came from New York in 258 cases, the largest shipment of that commodity to-be dis patched to any one customer. The task of moving the Southern Pacific's staff of 2500 officials and em ployes from the Flood building to the new industrial palace at the foot of Market street without interrupting the course of business presents many perplexities. It is expected that one department at a time will observe moving day. Among the many ultra-modern ap pliances which make the new office structure a model of its kind, is a pneumatic tube delivery system mod eled on tho lines of a telephone ex change. If a clerk in the department of freight accounts desires to refer a way bill to a special accountant four floors above him, instead of summon ing an office boy, he puts the way bill in a mailing carrier, dispatches it to "central" and the latter after glancing at'the destination shown on the indi cator, shoots it to the proper office, all in the space of a few seconds. An unusual ventilating system, the largest private telephone switchboard in the west, and an automatic fire- extinguishing device in every room are other features of the new build ing. All coust construction records were broken in the erection of this buildiri; which now seems likely to be occupied a year after ground was broken PAULINE FREDERICK IN "BELLA DONNA" AT THE ARCADE THE A THE TOMORROW ' Richey Piano House Opposite Sommer House REPRODUCING PIANO the different Artists' interpretation, with the exactness of expression and touch, that defies any criticism.

There will be many novel features at the Mid-Summer Joy Week to be held in La Grande next week, and the Jiuge Midway which will be set up on the Circus Grounds will be the scene of much gaiety and jollification for the Monkey Auto Races and many other attractions will be brought here by the Great Wortham Shows. The Monkey Speedway, is a form of en tertainment never before seen in the west and represents all that that is possible in a real auto race. The live monkeys driving miniature racing cars cause no end of thrills and nmusement to the crowds of humanity who daily pack the huge tent. The trained wild animal arena is another important feature, while the Arabian Nights nnd Neptunes Daugh tor are among tho most popular shows. An Athletic Show, where leading wrestlers and boxers, give ex hibitions of the manly art will as us unl prove a big drawing card. For the children there will be the Whip, the latest riding device, as well as the Big Merry Go Round and lofty Ferris Wheel, nnd nnother much lauded at traction is The Miracle, which is de scribed as a gorgeous spectacle em bodying all the latest creations of the illusion builders art. Tho Top O World, Bluey Bluey, High Life and Honey Moon Trail are among the many attractions to be seen, but judging from reports La Grande will have the largest and most complete Midway organization ever seen with' in its gates. The shows arrive Sun day and will be set up ready for the opening Monday night. NEW YORK MAN SELI.S STAMP COLLECTION Now York, July 21. (Special) Now and then we hear of a sizable transaction that has nothing to do with war. Indeed to many matter-of-fact persons there is no connection with anything but vain folly in the sale of the world s second largest col lection of old postage stamps an nounced last week. George II. Worth ington, retired capitalist and railroad director, of Cleveland sold them to a New York collector; He withheld the name of the purchaser, who plans to retain a portion of the stamps and dispose of the irest, thus breaking up the finest collection in the United States. Mr. Wothington retains his envelopes and Western franks. Tho Worthington stamps have been reported worth $1,000,000 and the purchase price is understood to be around that figure. 4- 4 4 DON'T BE A GRASSHOPPER WHILE THE GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME IS HERE, DON'T FORGET WINTER IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
