With good nett ing by the home team the game would have been close, as Graney pitched win ning ball from the start and was ac corded miserable 'support. Johnson was the worst offender yesterday, making three mlscues at third which helped the visitors to their first tallies. At the be ginning of the game Portland seemed to have recovered from Its slump and to be. playing a good game again. Graney was pitching championship ball and the fans hoping to see a reversal of form were exalted at the prospects. In the first two Innings Los Angeles was unable to knock the ball past the inflelders. ' Easterly, the first man up in the third was hit on the head by Graney and went to first. This started Portland's down fall. A sacrifice by Nagle and Johnson's miss of Bernard s grounder put a man on third and first. Madden s sudden brainstorm help to let In two runs with out the semblance of a hit. A timely single by Easterly In the next inning, after Wheeler had walked and Johnson had made another error, scored two more, and the visitors an nexed another In the fifth on Oakes triple and Wheeler's single. Patrick Goes Into Box. Patrick pitched the rest of the game, and while he was touched up for six hits, only one run came In. Portland could do nothing with Nagle's curves, and the perfect field play of the visitors until the sixth. Madden and Patrick, the first two men up in this inning, were easy outs. Casey got a single and Cooney walked. John son, the next man up. for the first time this week responded to the cries of the crowd and hit a pretty three-bagger to deep center, partly redeeming him self for his earlier mlsplays. Danzig retired the side by flying out. Raftery started the seventh with a long single to left, but was out trying to make second. Another run might have been recorded had he stayed on first, for Bassey knocked a deep fly and Ryan singled. There will be a double-header Mon day and only one game Sunday.

Today's game was a good deal of a comedy, with Umpire Ehret as chief funmaker. He called two balls foul that were Inside the diamond, and his decisions on balls and strikes were such that tha game stopped while a 10-year-old mascot walked out to the cen ter of the diamond with a broom, which he gravely presented to the umpire that he might sweep off the plate. Seattle's first two runs were gifts on a wild throw to second by Rogers, and Spokane's first two came as the result of bad fielding by Cahlll and Zimmer man.

RUTHIIEU IS STRICKEN AGED PIONEER CONFINED IN LOCAL HOSPITAL. Hardy Settler Who Braved Dangers of Long Journey to Oregon "Is Seriously III. F. X. Matthleu, 91 years of age. who bears' the distinction of being one of the first of the pioneers who braved the dan gers of the transcontinental trip to get to the old Oregon country, is 111 In St. Vincent's Hospital. Mr, Matthieu was brought to this city and placed In the hospital a few days ago for a trouble Incidental to his advanced years. His illness, while confining, is not regarded as especially serlr.us. and his physicians say that they hope for his return to his home, in Butteville, Marion County, with in Ji few weeks. Amoiv Oregon's venerable pioneers who are still living. Mr. Matthieu. so far as known, stands at the head of the list, as it is believed U.at there are none now left of those who accompanied the first trall-blazlng expedition across the Rooky Mountains for the Oregon coun try, which at that time, in 1842, had not been taken over as a part of the United States. He Is a French Canadian, hav ing been born In a small town near Mon treal. For a number of years he was a trader for the Hudson's Bay Company, then the paramount political and com mercial power In Canada. He left home, however, during the Canadian rebellion, and found his way to St. Louis, Mo., where for several years he made trips Into the Northwest for the American Fur Company. In May of 1842 he joined the first wagon train which left St. Louis for the mysterious and unknown "land of promise" west of the Rockies. Arriv ing in Oregon in the Fall of that year, he has remained In the state ever since, having now had a continuous residence here of 66 years. He was one of the 103 men of the early settlers who met to vote on whether they should have the Ameri can or British authority in these do mains. He is the only one of those 102 delegates now living. Mr. Matthieu settled In Marlon County, where he now owns extensive farms. He married and had a family of 15 children, seven of whom are still living. One son, Stephen Alfred Matthieu. is a prominent druggist on the East Side. Mr. Matthieu was a member of the State Legislature from 1874 to 1878. was County Commis sioner of Marion County for four years, and was also a Justice of the Peace in his home for a number of years. He joined the Masonic order In Oregon City in 1855. This was the only lodge in the state at that time, and he is now the oldest Mason In Oregon. He is also the oldest Elk In the state.

BRYAN PRAISES LIFE OFF Wants More of Them in Na tion's Councils to Check Cities' Growth. GOVERNMENT TOO STINGY Democratic Candidate Contrasts Amounts Spent . by Government on War and Agriculture Need More Farmer-Politicians. LINCOLN, Neb.. Sept. 4. William J. Bryan, Democratic candidate for the Presidency, today made two avowedly nonpolitlcal speeches to his home folks. The first was at the State Fair grounds, where he participated in the dedication of the new auditorium, and the second was at the Tabttha Home, near Fair view, where a new building waa dedi cated as a hospital for the aged. In his fair grounds speech, which was to a multitude of persons, Mr. Bryan confined himself mostly to an appeal to the farmers to take a livelier Interest In legislation, both state acd National. He was Introduced in a short, happy address oy Governor Sheldon, who has Just been renomi nated by the Republicans for Governor and who was captain in Mr. Bryan's regiment In the Spanish-American War. Mr. Bryan referred somewhat humor ously to his own experiences as a sol dier and said that among the candi dates for President thla yatr he was tha only man with a war record. Addressing h-.mself lr. a serious vein to the farmers, he said, among other things: Too Stingy With Farmers, i My frlenda. we are more stingy in making appropriations for the farmer than for any other large class of our people. Why, It was a century after our Government was organ ised, or about that, before we succeeded In getting a Department of Agriculture estab lished. We are the greatest agricultural country In the world and agriculture is the greatest lnduatry in our country, and yet, almost a hundred years elapsed before the farmer got a seat around the President's council table. What will you think when I tell you that for every dollar we spend on the Agricul tural Department we spend more than $25 on the Army and Navy? More then 25 aa much spent in getting ready for ware ought never to have as we spend on agri culture. I believe that with more farmers in tha counclla of the Nation, more farmers pre pared to exert an Influence upon public thought through the pen and pencil and by the tongue, we shall have a change and that that change will help to retard. If not to atop, the tendency now from the farm to the town. The farmers' Influence haa not been what it ought to have been. Take the rebates that have built up great centers and destroyed the smaller towna. Why hava they been given? Because the farmer has not had a voice In the regulation of the railroads. Farm Great Training School. And eo I might take up other Questions. And what is the menace of the centrali zation of the population in our great cities? I believe the farm la the great training school and I know that the people from the farm have strengthened every 'branch of business, but my friends. I believe aa we get away from the country, as we get farther from the aoll, we are leaa and less Impressed by these great laws of nature that ought to have-a controlling Influence In our Uves. Man. as he lives close to the soil, Uvea close to God. It la easy to teach religion to one who sees the miracles per formed every day. It Is easy to Inspire regard for the Creator In one who sees every day the handiwork of the Almighty and labors constantly amid the mysteries of natural life. And on these farms we have been rearing the men and the women whose Influences have helped to keep' thla country great and to promote the move ments which have for their objects the welfare of the world. RIDDER SURE BRYAN WILL WIN German Editor Cheers Candidate With His Optimism. FAIRVIEW. Lincoln. Neb.. Sept. 4. The most Important visitor received by W. J. Bryan today was Herman Bidder, one of the Democratic campaign man agers, who stopped off on his way East. He brought a very flattering report of the political situation as he found it In the West, and particularly among the farm ers. Mr. Rldder has traveled extensive ly over the United States since the Den ver convention and he laid before the candidate some statistics tending to show that all the so-called gold and Cleveland Democrats of any prominence are this year supporting Mr. Bryan, and express themselves ready to take the stump for him. Mr. Rldder said: PYom careful observation I am now con vinced that the Democratic National ticket will he elected thla Fall. I told Mr. Bryan so. This opinion is not based on wild hopes, neither does desire away me in forming it. but It la the result of a careful canvass made by myself and my friends since the Penver convention a1Journed.

I have found in every aectlon of the country bitter resentment against the Republican leaders because of the attitude on the tariff question. Everyone who re members the experience of those who ap proached the House and Senate leaders during- the last se asfon of Cong-rese to urge a re duction of duty on any article, knows that there Is no chance of real revision of the tariff If the Republicans win thla Fall. So Republicana and Democrats alike who know the' prosperity of the country and demand the revision of the tariff will support the Democratic ticket to bring about thla result. After conferring with the leadera In Chi cago I will go directly to New York and will later take the stump in the East for Bryan and Kern. The Germans of the country are going to support the Democratic ticket al most unanimously this Fall. Mr. Bryan's notice was attracted to the dispatch from Middle Bass Island, wherein it Is stated that Mr. Taft. in. commenting- upon the result of the Ver mont election, said he would have been better pleased had the majority not been so large. In which event the danger of Republican over-confidence would have been lessened. "I know." remarked Mr. Bryan, "of several sections of the coun try where the Republicans are not afy fllcted with over-confidence."
