salesmen who worn spending the.
tiny in town engaged in a 10'
inning game ut tbn national sport
with a picked nine of our local
hoy. The hftKehall enthusiast
Wl)0 witnessed til battle UlIHtli-
ninusly dec hi red thnt it was one of
Out moot unique and laughter-pro-during
games that had been pulled
off on the Incut diamond this year.
Hh tin Mathews, who disperse
the miscellaneous product ol the
firm ol I.ang A Co., covered the
Initial sack and played such a re
markable game that Old Man Mau
pin, who occupied a neat in the
grandstand, waa heard to remark, I
" I hut it euro beat ull how some
fellows could coma hack." The
middle elation waa covered by La
liergin, who represent The Scully
Syrup Co., manufacturer of every
kind ol syrup on the market, ex
cepting "Mother Window's" well
known brand. II I.a lU-rgin, who
la still young, ever decide to don
the spiked shoe inatead ol trying
to aelt avruD we predict that he
will he a wonder. On third we
discovered another phenotn whom
aorne people thought waa Pretzel
N.'tel the Spokane team, hut
they were mistaken aa they after
ward learned the supposed atar
being none oilier than Velvet New
berry, who lor yeara has peddled
the ware ol the Tobacco Trust.
Velvet caved the game on several
occasion by hi wonderful slop
ol what were apparently wild
heave. llu bono.
At short whom should we die
cover but the erstwhile Senator
Clark, who resigned hi cent in
lliul select lunch und took to the
road in the endeavor to sell the
I.ihhv'a l'ickle prod net to hungry
people. Senator Clark played but
three inning when a thunder
shower, evidently canned by the
mighty awata ol thn bat against
the ball, drove him from thu tield.
It waa hinted that he bad cold
leet but probably the real reason
will never be known.
Spider Herglund, who in every
day life peddles merchandise to
the rurala of the Aaliwood country,
did the receiving and hi gingery '
work waa featured by a wonderful
peg to second buna that almost
killed I.a l!i-rgin who endeavored
to atop it.
Ifappicua Kaizard, who could
fill tho ahoea of ono llogan of the
Vernon Coast team, guarded the
right field territory. Iluppicus
played with a catcher', mit on
each hand, and on ono occasion
almost caught a fly ball, hit from
tho but of one of Prinevillo's
mighty swatters.
Adums, whom some claim is a
brother of Pittsburg's premier
pitcher, devoted his time in center
field to watching a band of sheep,
which oviduntly be feared, for out
of eleven chances he accepted
none, the ball in each case land
ing among the Baid sheep.
Kidney-Foot Rowe, who en
deavors to peddle the liquid goods
that have put prohibition on the
blink in this county, was the orig
inal boob. His rotrieving of balls
remindod one of a rheumatic dog
or an ovorfed duck, but the tenao-
ious hold that ho took upon his
pocket (which contained a small
amount ol the filthy lucre) when
ho was chasing a ball, made many
who saw him wonder if he were
Irish, bUt an Irishman in the
grandstand squashed this wonder
ing by yelling, "Watch Ike
waddlo."
Rubber Campbell, better known
as the human toothpick, did the
twirling for the traveling men and

found it neceaary to line hii
famoua rubber-band curve. In
fuct, he uaed no eurvea, depending
entirely on the star bunch of field
era who were aupporting him. He
ia really a wonder (diaguieed).
Our Mr. Hyde who waa called
upon to umpire the game waa
matter of the situation at all
times and showed hi wonderful
knowledge of inside baseball by
rendering decisions on cloee plays
and calling bulla and atrikea in
such a way a to keep the players
on edge at all time.
Tho ollicial score keeper tat
Hardware Phil, the jovial repre
aetitative of the Iloneyman Hard
ware Co., who kept the record ol
run and bits aa he saw them.
During the luurlu inning Phil bad
uccasiuit to doze serenely on
the bench and ere he hud
awakened the thunder shower, be
fore mentioned, was pattering
serenely upon hi bald head and
during his scramble for cover,
Phil forgot to register several
runs that had been garnered off
the, delivery of our local twirler,
who temporarily lost control of
the horsehido sphere, caused by
the raindrops.
One of the features of the game
was the batting and fielding of a
7-year old phenom of our own
town who replaced Senator Clark
and afterwards relieved lierglund
behind the bat. The game was to
have been only 7 innings, but ow
ing to the (net that the score was
a tie at the end of the seventh ses
sion it was decided to continue
until one or the other of the teams
had scored. The game was finally
called by Umpire Hyde, the scoie
being still a tie. The respective
captains of the two teams decided
to meet again at some future date
and whea this occurs we may ex
pect a bloody battle to occur.

contribution toward a $10,000
fund for two experimental stations
($7000 of which ia to be contributed
by the Oregon Trunk Railway, the
Deschutes Railway and the Port
land Commercial Club). One of
id experimental stations to be
devoted to irrigation problems and
one to dry farming problems. The
selection of the location of said
stations, tbeir maintenance and
conduct to be left entirely to the
judgment and be put in charge of
the officials of the Oregon Agri
cultural College. Acting on a
public hearing the court declared
(self as follows:
Commissioner Rice maintains
that Crook county has no author
ity to appropriate money for such
purposes.
Commissioner Bayley favors an
Appropriation of $750 during 1911,
;1 $750 during 1912, for th ef.
tablishment and maintenance of a
dry farming station, but desires to
take under advisement the ques
tion of the establishment of a sta
tion devoted to irrigation problems.
Judge Ellis takes the stand that
in view of the apparent universal
demand and need of both stations
for the proper and intelligent di
rection of Bettlers, present and
prospective, the county is war
ranted in indicating its willingness
to contribute the sum asked for in
establishing both stations, includ
ing numerous sub-stations, pro-
ided $7000 is contributed toward
the same purpose from other
sources.
Thereupon court adjourned sub
ject to call.

Portland Cattle Market.
There was a heavy run of cattle
at the Union Stockyards Monday
but the price remained nrm, says
the Oregonian.
Central Oregon contributed the
bulk of the beef stuff, most of it
going at good prices. Five car
loads of steers went at from $5.50
to $5.65, and some fair cows and
young stock went at lower figures.
The average for the Central Oregon
shipment was good. Stockmen in
the territory recently opened to
the local market by the advent of
the railroads feel encouraged with
the results obtained here and will
return home to engage more ex
tensively in the cattle-raising in
dustry." Sheep also were offered freely
and there was but one sale of 500
head at $3.30. The market re
mains a little dull on sheep.
Hogs are still strong. In fact
the leading factor on the local
market. A small shipment was
received here yesterday, but it had
previously been sold. A new pries
of $3.25 was quoted Monday but
no business resulted on the figure.
Crook county furnished the fol
lowing shipments: L. S. Logan,
2 cars of cattle; R. L. Dixon, 2
cars of cattle; O. C. Gray, 2 cars ol
cattle; Henry Gray, 2 cars of cat
tle; J. L. Gilchrist, 2 cars of cattle.

What promises to be an inter
esting case is the suit filed by
Katie Garlinghoase against W. W.
Dodson and wife to secure the can
cellation of a mortgage shown of
record to have been given by Katie
Garlinghouse on a tract of timber
land in Crook county.
It is alleged by the plaintiff that
she contracted with Dodson to
take over a lease on a rooming
house in Portland subject to the
consent of the owner of the prop
erty and in the event of the ap
proval of the transfer of the lea.e
Mrs. Garlinghouse agreed to buy
the furniture for $800.
The claims tbat Dodson brought
what purported to be several
copies of the contract for the sale
of the lease for her to sign repre
senting that there was one copy
for each party interested, that no
other document was signed so far
as she knew and that she nevei
signed or acknowledged a niort
gage on her Crook county property
to her knowledge. The mortgage
appears to have been executed
about the same date the lease was
signed. She further alleges that
the owner of the property refused
to confirm the transfer of lease but
had her ejected and siezed the fur
niture. She aska judgment for the can
cellation of the mortgage and dam
ages to the amount of $250 and.
costs.
