Kvery one of the 900 people who
witnessed Sunday's game between
the Portland Hrcwcrs and the St.
Johns nine received their money's
wortli and plenty of interest. The
lowering skies of midday deterred
many from being present, but the
elements did not interfere with the
game. The ruins of the week left
the grounds in n condition not any
too good for playing, but this was
remedied by n liberal application of
saw dust along the base lines and
in the diamond. While everything
was against fast ball both nines put
up a game that hell the crowd
until the last man wan out.
The batteries of both teams did
fine work considering the s'ippcry
condition of the ground. Pender,
the Drawers left handed pitcher,
passed four men, three of them
being in the third Inning, and forc
ing in u run. Moore, of the locals,
issued only one pass to first, and
allowed only three safe hits.

Yet the Council Transacted Some
Important Business.
At the council mcetiuir Tuesday
evening all members were present
and Mayor Couch presided. Pol
lowing the approval of the minutes
ot the previous meeting the matter
of .the proposed franchise sought
by the Pacific States Telephone Co.
was brought up for action that
company being represented by
Messrs. Spencer (of Sencer, Dey
& Hatnpson) and J. II. Thatcher.
A duplicate of the franchise
which was so amply discussed dur
ing the previous administration was
submitted but with a slight modifi
cation of the percentage to be given
the city. Last year's franchise
yielded the city during the life of
the franchise but $15,800, while the
n:w franchise will nay SiO.aoo.
This is, ofcouise, partly in phones
and the balance in cash. The life
'of the proposed franchise is 25
years, and stipulates the free use to
j the city of poles and conduits for
fire alarm and police use, the erec
tion of an exchange, and, In short,
about everything that the most

Relief from Rheumatic Pains.
"I suffered with rheumatism for
over two years," says Mr. Holland
Curry, a patrolman, of Key West,
Fla. "Sometimes it settled in my
knees and lamed me so I could
hardly walk, at other times it
would be iu my feet and hands so
I was incapacitated for duty, One
night when I was in severe pain
and lame from it my wife went to
the drug store here and came back
1 with a bottle ot Chamberlain's
, Pain Balm. I was rubbed with it
l and found the pain had nearly gone
, duriug the night. I kept on using
' it for a little more than two weeks
and found that it drove the rheum
atism away. I have not had any
trouble from that diseise lor over
three months." ' For sale by St.
Johns Drug Store.

Jaegers was like a stone wall iu
the infield. He was behind every
ball that came his way and his
throwing to base wes as true as a
rille bullet.
Portcrfield wis iu the game every
minute and has become a prime
favorite with the fans. His slide
to second iu the seventh inning was
a bit of play that caught the crowd.
render, tlie mound artist of the
Hrcwcrs, proved hlsttoilli, but the
lippcry ground prevented him
from doing his best.
1 he locals would have shut out
the visitors but for the ball slipping
from the lig mitt 01 otto Mooie.
1 he sphere was fairly caught by
the local catcher, but fell from hi:
land as he stooped to touch the
runner. I lie error was excusable.
"irnny - KaiiKin was missed as
umpire. Kverybody supposed he
had become n permanent fixture.
The mlxup between Wood and
Parrel! of the Drawers iu the infield
iu the sixth when both went after
n pop up fly was interesting. It
began iu a two step and ended iu a
catch ns catch can wrestle. Slippery
ground was the cause.
Clark Moore played first base
with a snap that stamped him as
one of the best amateurs iu the
league.
Rain interfered with the finishing
of the addition to the grand stand,
but everything will be iu readiness
by next Sunday.
The play is improving all along

The building will be 60x200 feet
and two stories high. It wtil be
built 011 a concrete foundation and
will extend 200 feet along Pitts
burgh street. To secure solidity
over 100 piles will be driven to
support the floors. Much of the
material is now 011 the ground mid
the work promises to go forward
rapidly. The O. K. & N. railroad

side of the building on Pittsburg
street. The plant will then have
unexcelled shipping facilities, being

Mr. Thatcher and Mr. Snencer

ing the present mid prosjcetive
conditions. The matter of the

tlon for a criiiit to erect a building
at the rear of his plumbing shop
(opposite the postolhce) said build
ing to be 20x14 fcet iu si.e, and
covered with galvanized iron. This
matter drew much discussion, its
to grant .such a permit was clearly ,
against ordinance 63. The council, '
realizing that thete was need of
such n building, gave Mr. Crouch
ley the icriuit with the proviso that
the building be attached to the
pieseut building and not erected as 1
a new building. J
An application to erect an "en-:
closed porch" upon lot 3, block 30, '

down by a vote of six to one.

I.ehigh be changed to Polk, and
the improvement continued clear
through to Portland boulevard.
The matter was placed Iu the hands
of the street committee.
Die matter of giving the termin
ation of Charleston street, 11 tract
of laud 60x200 feet, about 12,000
square feet to the Marine Iron
works was brought up. As a re
monstrance had previously been
filed the matter was forced to rest
for one month.

of the estate of the late W. W.
Goodrich, presented a claim for
work done upon Catliu, Lively,
Salem and l.eavitt streets amount
ing to 1270.57. These streets have
Ihx'U completed but the late engin

his services. 1 lie matter was
turned over to the finance commit
tee at the request of Attorney H. C.

trator.
