The present navy organization is founded directly on an act of con gress of 1842. Prior to that time the secretary administered the affairs through a board of naval commission en, three sea-going officers, who acted as his advisers, but held no executive power. These officers he selected as he saw fit, so that they were admirals or post-oaptains, and they kept him informed of every particular of which It was necessary for him to have information.

Ask your dealer tor one and ot full value for our moner. the affairs of the department as to scope and general plans were intelli gently administered and without fric tion, faction or cabal. The navy had grown, however, after the war of 1812, and the duties of the secretary had increased in detail. His three men were overladen with work. When this was called to the attention of the congress of 1839 they asked the secretary then in office to submit a plan of reorganization, embracing "a division of the duties performed by the board of naval commissioners and their assignment to separate bureaus." The secretary complied, and in 1843 i there was passed the act wnich created five bureaus with independent heads. Three more bureaus have since been established. Even that might have been tolera ble if the advisory board of the secre tary had been abolished, thus isolating him. The chiefs of these five bureaus became absolute so far as scope, plan a and technical detail are concerned. n They are experts, and the secretary of the navy must be appointed from o civil life. He is, therefore, at a the mercy of his bureau chiefs, and to render his condition more intolerable it was provided at the time that "any order of a chief of bureau shall be considered as emanating from the secretary of the navy, and shall have full force and effect as such."-February Van Nor den-The World Mirror. Farmers Wanted. Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock there will be a meeting of the farmers of the Missoula, Frenchtown and lower Bitter Root valleys at the rooms of the Missoula Chamber of Commerce.

SPORTS OWNERS ARE BIDDING FOR CY YOUNG GRAND OLD MAN OF BASEBALL WILL BE SOLD TO MAGNATE WITH LONGEST PURSE. Every baseball fan with a heart must have felt sorrowful if he read the report from Chicago of greedy magnates bidding for old Cy Young, the Boston pitcher and grandest man that has ever been connected with our national game. He must have had much the same feeling as he did the first time he saw the play of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," when old Uncle Tom I was placed on the block and auctioned I off to the highest bidder. If Owner John I. Taylor of the Bos ton club has a heart, he will never dispose of Cy Young in that manner. That takes all the sentiment out of baseball and makes every player an animal. If Cy Young wants to leave the Boston club he should be per mitted to go, and go where he pleases. r He's the grandest credit we have to the game today, and is not simply a share in the Boston club to be sold and traded at the owner's will. A report from Chicago quotes s Charles Murphy, owner of the world's champion Cubs, as declaring that he is ready to top the bidder of r any other club owner in the country I for Cy Young. He wants him as a drawing card for his great Chicago - club. If Murphy's talk is true, it is abeo lutely ridiculous, for he would never he given a chance to bid for Cy Young. Murphy is in the National league. Every club owner in the American league would have to waive claimn on Cy before Murphy would be given a chance to buy him, and every one knows that there are seven American league clubs ready and anx ious to take old Cy among their number should he desire to leave Bos ton. Murphy's boastful bid seems to be little more than an attempt to glitter for a moment in the public light. Comiskey Wants Him. Charles Comiskey, too, is reported as ready to bid the highest price for the grond old man's services, but in this report the owner of the White Sox thinks his chance is hopeless. Murphy says he supposes there will be about 14 clubs ready to bid for Cy, but he'll bid as high, and maybe a bit higher, than anyone to get the grand old man to grace his baseball park. There seems to be some truth in the report from Boston that old Cy will not be there this year. If there is, it can be set down now as all but assured, that when Cy leaves Boston he'll go to the St. Louis Browns. Young and Crieger have worked to gether for years. Crieger is to be with the Browns next season. Old Cy Young is the only one left of the Bos ton champions of 1904. Every other member of that great team has been traded or dropped out. A new squad of younger players has taken the field. Doubtless old Cy feels lonesome among all those boys. He hates to be parted from his catcher, and if he leaves Boston it will be because he desires to go, and there is only one team he will wish to play with. That will be the St. Louis Browns, because Lou Crieger is there. It was never made public, but a few on the inside of the affairs of the Bos ton elub know that Cy Young and Owen Taylor had a big fuss last fall, at the time Taylor discharged James McGuire as his manager and employed Fred Lake. Cy Young was a great admirer of McGuire, and the two vet erans always had their heads together to make the Boston club better. Every fan knows of their success, and no one' yet knows why Taylor dis charged McGuire. It was apparently a discharge with out reason, and it riled Cy Young so thoroughly that he strode into the office of John I. one day just before a game and told him in strong lan guage just what he thought about it. For that reason it is probably true that Young wishes to get away from former years the company has lost at Boston, now that Crieger, his only "pal" of other days, has been traded. Charles Comiskey and Robert Hedges were both active in trying to get Crieger and Young at the Decem ber meeting of the league in New York. Hedges proved the lucky one, though he only landed Crieger. How ever, he is ready to pay a handsome price for old Cy at any time the Bos ton club will agree to let him go. About a week ago a report from Boston said Mr. Taylor would let.Cy go to St. Louis if he wanted to go. Old Cy is chopping wood and tending his cattle on his farm not far from Cleveland, and has not said what he wants to do. STAGG ANNOUNCES DATES OF BIG GAMES Chicago, Jan. 24.-Director Stagg of the University of Chicago has an nounced the dates of his three major gridiron games for next fall. Chicago will meet Minnesota at Minneapolis on October 3; Cornell at Ithica, No vember 13, and Wisconsin, on Mar shall field, November 20.

Pitchers may come and pitchers may go, but the name of "Old Hoss" Radbourne goes on forever. I have talked to many great ball players who have lamented to me the fact that t baseball fame is so ephemeral that it t was not worth the gaining, and, while c no doubt, this is in a great measure r true, there is one pitcher that has left a name that promises to roll on for many, many years. Each year hundreds of pitchers r claim attention of the world, and each year they are promptly forgotten. f But Illinois produced a man who, al though now years deceased, has a I brighter name than any of the great multitude. In the great campaign of 1884, when the Providence club, then a member I of the National league, was fighting a bitter game with Philadelphia, a ca- t tastrophe occurred that seemingly I would disrupt its chances of winning the pennant. A player named Sweeney, who was pitching, was or dered to go into the right field to change places with "Cyclone" Miller. At that time it was not permissible to take a pitcher out of the game. Whereupon Sweeney promptly walked out of the game, leaving the team with only eight men, and with one pitcher, Charles Radbourne. Two men tried to cover the field, with the result that Providence was completely snowed under. A meeting of the directors was held to decide whether or not the club should be dis banded. Certainly a professional team was never in a sorrier plight. Radbourne was approached and the proposition put to him. "I can win it all right." said he quietly, and in a matter of fact tone. And then followed the most remark able battle for a pennant that the world has ever seen. Radbourne es tablished a record that has never been equalled; one that will live when more expensive contests will have been blissfully forgotten. Of 27 con secutive games, Radbourne won 26. In four games with Boston he had three shutouts, only one run was scored, and only 17 hits were made. This de feat was suffered at the hands of Buffalo by a score of 2 to 0, and even then only five hits were made off him, showing that the defeat was not due to poor pitching. Needless to say, Providence won the pennant, or, rather, Radbourne won the pennant. But the great player had to pay the price. No arm could stand the awful strain without great agony. Morning after morning when Radbourne arose he could not lift his arm as high as his waist. He had to brush his hair with his left hand. But he did not give up the game. He would slip out to the park about two hours before the rest of the team put in an appear ance and would begin the excruciating t process of limbering up. He would pitch the ball only a few feet when he would first go out, but he would keep on trying time after time, rub bing his arm with his left hand. Sometimes his face would be drawn up to contortions, but never a word of complaint left his lips. Half an hour before the game was to begin the players would slip out to see how "Old Hoss" was getting along. They would sit silently on the bench, waiting for his arm to get into condition. When he was able to throw from second to home base a rousing cheer would go up, for they knew that meant the winning of the game for them. Radbourne claimed for his home Bloomington, Ill. After his great sea son with Providence managers all over the country were upon his heels. Flattering offers poured in, and he was not under contract with Provi dence for next season, either. When the contest was over the late Ned Al len, president of the team that sea son, sent for Radbourne. He laid the release before him and beside it a blank contract. Radbourne looked at them both for several minutes, and then slowly took up a pen and filled the blank out for a sum only $2,000 higher than he had been getting and then tore up the release. Allen al most fell on his neck and wept for joy. Radbourne's last year in baseball vet- was with Cincinnati in 1891, but it therwas a sad year. It uems a pity that tter. the career of so grea; a ball player andshould end so sadly. That year his dis- work showed great deterioration, for the awful strain made in 1884 was be rith- ginning to tell on his arm. At the g so end of the season he was too proud to the go into minor league baseball, and so sfore entirely withdrew from the game. lan- He returned to Bloomington, where he it it. opened a billiard hall. He had little trueto say, and in unwinking silence from would sit in a corner and watch the t at young men laugh as they played. He only would talk about himself only when ded. cornered, and then but a few short words. He had always been an ar Lg to dent fisherman, hunter and sports em- man, but he gave up the open life. n Each year his taciturnity incrsased ow- until he became almost sullen. After a time he gave up his billiard o hall and retired into the obscurity of his home, seldom letting people see rom him. At last, in 1897, he fell ill and t .Cy soon passed away.-Portland Oregon Sgo. lan. Brave Fire Laddles often receive severe burns, putting out fires, then use Bucklen's Arnica Salve and forget them.
