Pullman, Wash.. Feb. 12. After
spending last evening and this morn
ing Jn conference with the State col
lege managers of athletics and the fac
ulty committee, Manager Zednick or
the University of Washington left to
day without having made any definite
arrangements or having secured any
thing In the way of a concession from
W. 8. C.
Whlla all branches of athletics were
discussed, Zednick's visit was clearly
to smooth over the football difficulties
of the two colleges. Zednlck offered to
take W. 8. C. to 8eattle with a heavy
guarantee or a division of the gate
receipts. Washington State refused to
consider anything except a game under
the existing contract which provides
for a contest either in Spokane or Pull
man next fall. The sentiment at the
college is that unless the university
fulfills her contract there will be no
football game between the two institutions.
Change in 0. E. & X. Time.
Effective next Sunday, February li.

Johnny Haley, the little 130 pound
wrestling champion of Chicago, who
came out to the coast and was defeat
ed by Edgar Frank, the Multnomah
club's Pacific coast featherweight cham
pion. Is thinking seriously of turning
professional. Haley has been training
hard in anticipation of a second match
with Frank, representing the Illinois
Athletic club, but there will probably
not be one.
Haley now weighs about 130 pounds,
the Oregon rllmate having added sev
eral pounds to his weight. It he con
cludes to turn professional, his first
appearance In the moneyed ranks will
probably be at the match nextJl'hurs
day night In Exposition rink between
Eddie O'Connell and Young Hacken
schmidt. Haley says he Is about ready to en
ter the professional ranks. , Hs defeat
at the hands of Edgar Frank, the first
he ever suffered in his llfe has affect
ed the little fellow greatly. ' He seems
tired of the amateur ranks and. their
restrictions and says he is Just aibout
ready to turn professional if he can get
a local jnaten. Unless somebody comes
througK and wants to take him on, ho
will return to Chicago In a day or so
and continue his work as an amateur.
Haley has been working out with
Young Hacken8chmidt every afternoon
and Is in good shape right now to go
on the mat. Some of those who are
anxious to see him enter tho profession
al ranks would like to see him go
against "Kid" Parker, who is generally
recognized as being among the best of
the lightweights in Portland. Parker
would probably weigh a few pound
more than Haley, but the little Chi-
cagoan would no doubt give him a great
name as a preliminary to tne Thurs
day match.
Con Albright, the Rochester wonder,
who wrestled two hours and 10 min
utes to a draw with O'Connell last July,
agrees to throw Strangler Smith, the
waterfront champ, twice In an hour as
a preliminary to the CConnell-Hack
affair. Smith says he will consider
nooody hut oconneil as his next Port
land opponent. Albright makes his
challenge sweeping, including "Kid'
Parker. Parker has expressed a will
ingness to meet Albright in a handicap
match, it Is reported.
Albright Is anxious to get acquainted
with-the Portland fans. He has chal
lenged o Connell for a match, but Ed
die has as vet made no answer to his
old opponent. By tumbling a few of
tne local mat artists around Albright
proposes to show the public that he is

master at the game.

BILL TO RECOVER
VALUABLE LANDS
Ten Thousand Acres in. Lin
coln County Given
Away in 1874.
' (By Journal Leased Salem Wire.) "
, Salem, Or., Feb. 1!. Ten thousand
acres and more of marsh and tldelands
arourrd Taquina and Alsea bays, held
by the Corvallis & Eastern under the
state grant of 1874, are sought by the
state in a bill introduced in the house
last night by Jones of Polk and Lin
coln. What the land Is now worth no
one knows, for it reaches out In many
directions, forming fishing grounds,
oyster beds, crab beds and marsh lands
suitable for agricultural use with
proper handling, besides long reaches of
water front about the harbors and wa
ter line of che two bays.
Back In the early days of the state
the legislature, on October 24. 1874,
granted to the Willamette Valley &
Coast Railroad company all of the tide
and marsh lands in what . was then
Benton county. Since that time the
county has been cut In two and the
lands in question are now in Lincoln
county. Since that time the original
company has been taken over by what
Is now as the Corvallis & Eastern, one
of the branches of the Harriman sys
tem. During all the time that the original
company or its successor in interest
has held this vast grant It has made
no survey of it and has paid no taxes
or in any manner asserted title to It.
Now the Jones bill comes to declare the
grant void and provides for its rever
sion to the state.
Decision Against ,'Such Q rants.
It is set forth in the bill that the
supreme court of the United States in
the case of the Illinois Central Kail
road company vs. the state of Illinois,
146 U. 8., page 462, has held that all
tidelands are held by the state in trust
for the people of the state so that they
may enjoy the navigation of the water,
carry on commerce and have the liberty
of fishing therein, freed from the ob
struction or interference of private par-
urn, mai it is noi wuiiin tne province
or power of a legislature to grant awav !
the title of an entire harbor and that I
any such grant if not absolutely votd
is revocaoie.
Because of this decision and because
of the conditions existing In and around
Yaqulna and Alsea bays, the Jones bill
provides that the grant of 1874 be re
pealed, together with any and all
amendatory acts that may have been
passed by the legislature subsequent to I
in- aaie or tne original grant.
The conditions existing were dis
closed fry Oswald West during the time
he was secretary of the state land
board, and as a result a request has
come from the people of Lincoln coun
ty asking that the measure now pro
posed by Representative Jones be fa
vorably considered. '

setting nine fires within three davs.
William Barrows, an 18-year-old lad of
this city, was arrested yesterday after
noon by th police and upon beliip asked
concerning the fires admitted he had set
them all. He was caught last night
back of the largest grocery store, in
the city. As he made a satisfactory
explanation he was turned loose anil
within half an hour four fire alnrni
had been turned In. (examination showed
that he had piled boxes, paper and other
rubbish around oil cans near where lu
was first ciiught. He was found again
and confessed.
Mondiiy night four alarms were
turned In In rapid succession, the first
for many days, the most In the length
of time tho city has ever known. Tues
day night the fire department hart to
answer one call and a second fire was
put out without calling the department.
Wednesday night four fires were dis
covered, all within stone's throw of each
other and within 50 yards of the r. M.
C. A. building.
Yesterdity morninjr young Barrows'
actions before the fires were reported,
and he was picked up in a few hours by
the nolice. Asked about It. he readily
admitted he had committed the crimes
and did not seem to realize the enor
mity of his offense. All the fires were
In the business portion of the city and
all in the neighborhood of valuable new
buildings.
"I do not know why I did it." said tho
boy. "Yes, I read Diamond Dick and
other 10-cent novels. I like them fine.
I never ran away after the fires, he
cause I liked to see the men work put
ting them out. I don't know why I did
It, I Just wanted to do something"
Voung Barrows is a pale, sickly look
ing youth, the shape of whose hend
would in Urate that ho Is -not "jxisft
right." His apprehension relieves the
police department of a strain which has
been growing during the past three
days. The boy will probably be sent to
the state institution for defective
youths.

330 to 336 East Morrison street, there are 442 vehicles that have

age possibly vehicles do not; but if the timber is not dry, if there
is any defect in workmanship or material, two years, with the ex
tremes in climate, will certainly demonstrate it. Perhaps the fin
ish may be a little dull, but you are guaranteed absolute safety in
the purchase of a vehicle that has stood the heat and cold for two
years and shown no shrinkage or defect of any kind. Some of these
vehicles have cost us as higbas $600 some of them as little at $60.
The $600 and $500 carriages you can buy for $400 and less some
of the buggies and runabouts selling for $75 to $100 you can buy
for nearly 50 per cent less thanthese prices, and so on throughout
them all. They are all marked in plain figures, showing both the
old prices and the new. If you need anything that runs on wheels,
for any purpose, you can buy one of these 442 vehicles at a price
ranging from 20 to 40 per cent less than our cost of manufacture.
There are also 160 sets of harness, some of which have been in
stock two years some of them less. The prices are reduced by
about one halfyou can buy a $50 harness for $30, or a $25 har
ness for $17.50, so long as our present stock holds out.
You can select a vehicle and make a deposit on it of 25 per cent
and we will hold it for you 60 to 90 days until you want it delivered,
or to responsible parties we will extend credit upon a reasonable
payment down, the balance to be paid in monthly installments.
