BALL PLAYERS IMPER-
VIOUS TO DEFEAT
.Portland is to be included in the
itinerary of a new line comprising six
modern freighters which will go into
service this fall between Boston and
Pacific coast ports, operated by the
Emery Steamship Company of the
Massachusetts metropolis and Hind.
Rolph & Co. of San Francisco. At
least four or five of the steamers will
have capacity for handling 4,000,000
feet of lumber at a trip, as they will
be of S0O0 tons burden.
Announcement of the proposed es
tablishment of the service was made
for the first time Tuesday by W. H.
Randell. president of the Emery
Steamship Company, who arrived
in Portland, via San Francisco, Tues
day. While President Emery was in San
Francisco the plan of his company
consolidating with Hind, Rolph & Co
for the establishment of the new ser
vice was discussed at length. The
San Francisco firm will construct two
of the steamers for the new line, and
a liKe numoer win uw turuou uut iu
New England yards for the Emery
interests. The latter concern owns
the steamer Pacific, built about two
years ago for the express purpose of
beine oDerated in the lumber and!
general freight trade between Boston,
Portland and other points on this
coast.
The steamer Atlantic, sister to the
Pacific, was sold by the Emery com
pany since the European war started.
Soon after the construction of these
vessels they were placed In service
out of Boston to this coast, but the
war came on, shipping became more
or less stagnated on the route chosen
for them, and finally the line was
abandoned.
"But a much bigger and better
service Is to be established," said
President Randall. "Six steamers
are to be placed on the route. On
this coast they will make regular
calls at San Pedro, San Francisco,
Portland and Seattle. In the East
the shipyards are overrun with busi
ness, but I know of yards in New
England where our company will be
able to have two steamers built.
"So far as trade conditions now
are concerned, there will be no dif
ficulty in obtaining sufficient cargoes
to keep six steamers in continuous
service. Lumber will make up the
cargoes they will carry from this
side. Comine from Boston they will
carry general freight. The new
steamers will be modeled to some
extent after the type of vessels be
longing to the American-Hawaiian
line. The first year I am confident
that orders could be placed In the
New England states for 100,000,000
feet of Pacific coast lumber. Before
I left Boston space on steamers was
being sought for the shipment of
15,000,000 feet of lumber from this
coast to that section."
President Randall also stated that
in picking up cargoes for 'shipment
from Boston to this side of the con
tinent much of it could be procured
as far Inland as Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. He explained that such a
method is being carried out success
fully with the companies running
lines out of New York.
St. Helens Team Takes Third Game
of Scries at Rldgefleld.
The game at Rldgefleld last Sun
day terminated in another victory for
St. Helens. The local ball team faced
a battery that is considered among
the best on the Columbia river, but
nevertheless they managed to inflict
a defeat with a score of 3 to 0. "Red"
Lund pitched a shut-out game and al
lowed only two hits.
Aside from this, the main feature
of the game was the remarkable hit
ting of Elchman. Out of four times
up he rapped out two two-baggers
and a single.
in the last three games, also the
first three, in fact the only three this
seasou, Lund has allowed a measly
light hit and has struck out forty
seven batters. His starring is a fore
gone conclusion. Turn out and watch
the smoke.

UNCLE'S FOX FARM
Industry Has Grown to Enormous
Proportions and Fabulous
Returns.
Probably a good many of our read
ers were surprised to learn that Uncle
Sam had just sold twenty silver foxes
at $312 a pair for breeding purposes
and wondered where he got them.
It seems so out of the line of ordin
ary functions of government admin
istration. But it appears that there
are many more silver foxes in the
government reservation on the Prlbl
loft Islands, where the seals used to
congregate, and Uncle Sam is devot
ing the time and energies of his em
ployes there to doing a little business
in fine furs.
The price may seem large to many,
but if the foxes are of good grade it
is exceedingly low. Up in Prince
Edward Island they have gone mad
over silver foxes in the last few years
and the price has risen to $40,000
yes $40,000, for a single pair.
There are thousands of foxes in the
Island mostly controled by stock com
panies and their estimated 'value is
more than of all the rest of the live
stock in the region. The foxes are
not killed for their skins, but when
one dies the fur gets to market, the
price for the best skins being about
$250, or waa at that figure before
the war. It is presumed that mem
bers of the royal families are not
buying furs so lavishly as formerly,
Reports from Prince Edward Island
are that the price are being main
talned for the live animals, but as

Vernonia, May 5 (Special) The
forty-ninth quarterly session of the
Columbia County Pomona Grange
was held last Saturday, May 1st. at
Vernonia, R. N. Lovelace, W. M., pre
siding. The attendance was very
good, considering the fact that only
a few were present from granges out
side the valley. The members of
Vernonia Grange had made prepara
tions for an old-time grange day, and
the good old grange spirit prevailed
throughout the entire session.
The session was called to order in
the forenoon for the transaction of
routine business, atter which an in
termiBslon was taken for noon iu or--der
to partake of one of those sump
tuous dinners tor which the grange
Is famous.
The report of the subordinate
granges showed that they are in good
financial condition with a substantial
membership; one new grange was or
ganized and one reorgaulzed.
A number of resolutions were
adopted during the afternoon session
upon various questions pertaining to
public as well as grange matters.
Some of those of more general inter
est are the following:
Commending the county court
upon the stand they luive taken as
against the Consolidated Contract
Company in not allowing that com
pany for more than the engineer's es
timate of work done on the highway;
Instructing the delegates to the state
grange, which meets In Tillamook
next week, to vote for Gresham for
the meeting place of the state grange
In 1916; and instructing the state
delegates to ask the state grange to
Initiate a bill to amend the road laws
so tn at the distribution of the gen
eral road tax shall be left to the vot
ers of the several road districts.
At the open session in the evening,
an excellent program of recitations
and music wad rendered, and a talk
made by J. H. Collins on the work of
the grange. The open session
well attended.
A class of sixteen was initiated
into the fifth degree.
The following resolution
adopted:
Resolution.
Resolved, that this Pomona Grange
commends the county court for the
stand they have taken on the issue
between the county court and the
Consolidated Contract Company, to
the effect that the Consolidated Con
tract Company should not be allowed
any more than is JuBtly due them for
road work done, as shown by the es
timates of the state highway en
gineer; and that, the controversy be
settled In the proper court.

WHY ASSAIL CANTINE?
OVER HALF OF STATE
TAX HAS BEEN PAID
More Than a Million and Half Dollars
Kent to State Treasurer.
With the payment into the state
treasury department of $70,000 last
Friday by Treasurer Lewis of Mult
nomah county, and the receipt of
smaller sums from Wallowa, Doug
las and Umatilla counties, all coun
ties in the state have now paid the
first half of their taxes due the state.
The total sum paid In on the first
half of their taxes amounts to II,
656,000. Multnomah county Is the only
county In the state to forward more
than the required first half of the
tax. Treasurer Lewis by sending
$70,000 last Friday puts his county
$38,750 above the necessary halt to
be forwarded. In all a total of
1,594,750 has been turned Into the
state treasury.

(Oregon Voter)
Why try to tear down the reputa
tion of a man in advance?
Why Imply that the new state high
way engineer is under the control and
domination of a ring of contractors?
Does it help the good roads cause
to cast baseless reflections on Gov
ernor Wlthycombe's appointee, mere
ly because he was selected to succeed
a man whose removal was the
inevitable result of controversal
storms?
It Is hard enough on Mr. Cantlne
to have to take a job that has so
many perplexities; so many difficult
situations that were not even created
by the present state administration.
Why not give him a word of en
couragement, Instead of vengeful Insinuations?
The Oregon Voter doesn't know
whether Mr. Cantlne is a good mau
or a crook. We do not know whether
he Is competent or Incompetent to fill
the thankless Job to which he haB
been appointed. We assume that
Governor Withycombe would not
knowingly appoint a crook. We as
sume he has enough loyalty to the
state he loves and enough pride In
himself as a man and our governor
to select the best man he could se
cure for the money. Only time will
tell whether the choice was a good
one. Meanwhile, let's help make the
Cantlne administration a success, for
the sake of Oregon as well as simple
justice.
It Is unfortunate that so many of
our newspapers are so blinded bv
partisan opposition to the Withy
combe administration that they are
willing to tear down the reputation
of an untried man as a means of
wreaking political revenge.
