American association club. Sufficient

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

ers, received their first strong recom

the Cardinals, it is safe to say that
Goodwin's advance notices -will not
fall down.

San Francisco, July 21. (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

NEW AND NOVEL ATTRACTIONS
WITH WORTHAM SHOWS
Shows Unload Sunday Over 300
People Travel on Own Train
. 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.
