Gossip About Event* of National
Importance and the Persons
Who Are In the Head
Liner Classes.
SPOKANE. Dec. 9. — A combined
effort is to be made In a legislative
way to have a plan adopted now' being
formulated by the National Parks
Highway Association, with headquar
ters here, for uniform rakings for all
the main line highways in the seven
states which the national parks high
way crosses. The states are Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota.
Montana, Idaho and Washington .
The lawmakers of these seven
states also will be asked to consider
standardization of traffic regulations
so that transcontinental automobile
j| tourists will tour under similar restric
tions in all the communities through
which they may pass.
A continuous campaign is being
waged by the National Parks Highway
Association for better road conditions,
hotel and garage accommodations.
Tourists are asked to report to head
quarters any overcharges or deficien
cies of service encountered. These
complaints are investigated and listed
as founded or otherwise.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9. — Ad
herents of the football team of the
University of Oregon, who believe this
eleven is the strongest gridiron com
bination in the Far West, are elated
at the choice of their team to play at
Pasadena on the occasion of the Tour
nament of Roses, New Year's Day,
against the University of Pennsyl
vanian. They look upon the action of
the committee in charge of the Rose
Festival as confirming their belief
which is largely based on the compara
tive scores made by Oregon and the
University of Washington against the
University of California. They are as
follows:
University of Oregon, 39, University
of California, 14.
University of Washington. 13; Uni
versity of California, 3.
That the showing leaves a margin
in favor of the Oregonians is admit
ted, but the contention is made that
comparative scores are of little worth
as evidenced by the fact that the Ore
gonians and Washingtonians played a
scoreless tie.
Under the circumstances, critics
who are disinterested, while they may
have their leanings for one team or
the other, have come to the conclu
sion that the tic score precludes either
team from claiming the championship
of the. Pacific <oast. Both may right
fully share the honor, however, in view
of the fact that neither haR met with
a reverse this season, which is the
ninth consecutive year the University
of Washington has gone through with
out feeling the sting of defeat.
Seattle angl ers are in favor of
throwing barriers about fishing so as
to make for greater sportsmanship
among the fishermen and at the same
time give the fish a more even fight
ing chance.
Seattle anglers are In favor o(
Club went on record recently as favor
ing the passage of a bill in the next
legislature absolutely prohibiting the
use of salmon eggs as bait or lure in
Washington state above tidewater.
The point on which this was favored
was that by the extensive and un
sportsmanlike use of salmon eggs the
trout had not been given a chance,
and also that so many small fish
had been taken In this manner that
it had gradually diminished the num
ber, until what was once one of Wash
ington’s greatest atractions to the
sportsman is now the poorest of any
of the western states.
Another bill favored for passage in
King county only was to increase the
size of trout caught to eight inches
j and bass to ten inches, and limiting
the catches. It was brought out by
committee drawing up this bill that
both these fishes do not spawn until
they reach the age when they reach
the size designated. By keeping to
this size it Is believed the number of
both species will be increased in the
streams and lakes.
To represent the club in the legic
lature President P. Pitt Shaw has ap
pointed a committee which is expect
ed to aid the club at Olympia in their
endeavor to place these bills ip the
g me code.
Portland, Oregon, virtually is the
only city on the Pacific coast cf con
siderable size that does not possess
a municipal golf links and the fact
is said to be deplored by the city's
golfers, who are anxious for a public I
course.
The recent establishment of a mu
nicipal course in the Philippine is
lands again has started the agitation
among golfers in the Northwestern
city, who point to the fact that Seat
tle, Spokane, San Francisco, Tacoma,
Los Angeles and other coast cities are
successfully operating public links.
The city fathers are said still to be
skeptical as to the success of the ven
ture, despite the fact that their at
tention has been called to the fact
that the links in other coast cities are
not only self-supporting, but in some
cases making a slight profit from the
nominal fees charged.
