There is nothing he wouldn't do, save
something decidedly uncivilized, to
win a baseball game.
Olson's head is made up of fast de
cisions, things to be done at the mo
ment when they mean something. To
back this up he has several bushels
of baseball nerve, without which there
isn't a real good baseball player alive.
He is one of the most dangerous
batsmen in the game with a bat, al
though his batting average never has
been seriously large as a big leguer.
He has come very close to touching a
big league managerial job3 several
times.
Olson should make good on the
coast. Ho is getting into something
he knows about. He won't have to
play big league baseball in the field
to hold his place. He will only be ex
pected to play winning baseball with
his team.
The Vernon management will giv
him anything he asks in the way of
playing talent and will leave it up to
him to do the rest. With that sort of
backing he should make a great showing.

the construction of public utilities in

of the Eastern Oregon Light & Power
company, nnd Attorney J. L. Rand, al

terday afternoon nnd spoke in oppo
sition to hasly i.etion by the commission.
"The only object of this hill as I see
it is to exclude lawless competition,"
said Mr. Harmon. "The public serv
ice commission has the power to regu
late public utilities corporations so
that the public is no longer in danger
of monopoly rates. Thus there is no
longer the need of competition as
there was before the establishment of
commission."
Would Abolish State Board.
A movement was started among a
number of the business men of the
city today to secure the abolishment
of the state water board of control

that effect in the sate legislature by
Senator Strayer during the present
session.
