This mes sage applies to the ' men and the women alike, The h;t has been played the local riiamond this season was pulled rft at Canetnah park last Sunday afternoon when the I oral team and a team con Biding of members of the 17th Infantry, stationed at Vancouver, Washington met in hattle array. The soldiers came in, looking mighty fine and well. Their bright uniforms and brass buttons cupled with their brawny sinews gave them a hne ap pearance, and muny predicted that the home team would be easy prey for Uncle Sam's blue coats. But thej were not. The day was not propitious for ball plaving. A cold wind wns driving the scurrving clouds northward and making overcoats a thing very much to be de sired, while an occasional raindrop pat tered down, and all together served to keep down the attendance, though the1 crowd must have numbered poraewhere in the neighborhood of 600 hundred people, many of whom were ladies. j The game was called at 2:30 o'clock by Umpire Fields The blue coats were first at bat. Nefzger and Krietz were i in the points for the borne team. For j three innings not a score as imde by either team and not a sign of a hit wi-s made. The first run was scored in the fourth by Orenon City. In the fifth neither side got a hit nor a score. In tiie sixth Vancouver tied theBcore on an error and Oregon City went out in one, two three order. In the seventh Vancouver untied the score on an erne and things begin to look interesting. In the Oregon City half of the seventh little Billie Califf was the first man up ; for the home team He swung his bat and caught the ball square on the nsp. j The ball went sailing westward, almost splitting the first base, on over the fence and into the cold hosom of the ' Wil lamette river. Umpire Fields called "fair ball," and the kid galloped around the bases. Some of the visitors let . ut a roar on the ground that the ball whs foul, hut the umpire itood firm. The crowd stood up and veiled itself hoarse Even the frogs tack in the mud puddle burst into song. It was in this inning that Oregon City won the game The ball was swatted all over the diamond, and when the Ihs' j man was out six of the home 'earn had, i crowed the home plate.

Can a Democratic candidate for Con gress in the First Oregon District be elected in the good year of our Lord,' 19(14. 'Tis a consumation devoutly to be wished ; hut can he win? That is the question about which we are all anxious and about which there is much specu lation. The following facts and figures not only indicate that Mr. Reames can win but that he will. Read them for vourrfelves and be convinced. Ecgew, Or., May 18 A. E. Reames, candidate for congress, has 1247 major ity to overcome in the tirBt District. In tlie June election of 1902, J. W. Fur nish, Republican candidate for govern or, canied th.i First District by a major ity ever George E. Chamber' a'n. of 1246. It is not logical to compare the pres ent campaign for Congress with that which was fought in 1902 between the late Thomas H. Tongue and J. ' K. Weatherford, respectively Republican and Democratic candidates. Mr. Weath erford is a man of highest character and strong with the voters. But be was running against a man who was also of dibtinc'ion, was in office, was in the midbt of the most brilliant Congression al career ever experienced by a Con gressman from Oregon. Mr. Hermann is not situated with re spect to the voters as was Mr. Tongue. Mr. Hermann rests under dark clouds that obscure his official character, to put it charitab'y, clouds that do not brighten political horizons and pressage victori ous coming ayp. Rather,' they indicate tliataBtorm is about to break over his headi ji nd floods destroy his political house. I Furthermore, A. E. Reames has passed the most searching inquiry, has . been subjected to most severe scrutiny, ' and has emerged from the ordeal wi'h unquestioned reputation and biillianr, endorsement fn in the fair minded ! voters of the District. ! 'The present situation, therefore, is like that which existed in the 1902 state campaign for governor, excepting as to the popularity of Mr. Weatherford, which was equal to his fine character as a citi zen and lawyer.

Mr. Revenue crossed the plains to Oregon in the year 1853, taking 'Sev eral months to perform the journey. Upon arriving in Oregon he immedi ately took up adonatinn land claim, upon which he has resided ever since. In pioneer days, the Indians were quite nu merous, and the nearest neighbore were fixe or bix nines distant. Shortly after his arrival lie went hack to work with energy to hew out a home in the then unbroken wilderness. The difficulties encountered in ibis herculean task were great, but Mr. Revenue persevered, and finally triumphed. Three years of his pioneer life was spent in merchandising. and his kindness and generosity to the needy and distressed were proverbial. This nonogenarian patriarch is very in telligent a, id very patriotic and a true DemiKirat. A constant and cloBe ohserv er for more than three-quarters of a cen tury, it it simply wonderful to think. of the number of incidents and events, now passed into history, of which he was, so to speak, an eye-witness. His children now living are John, Edward, Theodore and Lawrence and Alice Revenue We die, Lucy Revenue R iberts and Lillie Revenue Howard. Though Mr. Reve nue will be 90 years of age on the 12th day of next September, he is active as ever.

SEAMEs' HOME STRONGHOLD, According to the most as ute politi cians in the southern end 01 the first District, Reames will carry the First Judicial District, comprising Jackson, Josephine, Lake and Klamath counties, by more than ltlOU majority over Her mann. To place it at only 1000 is to as sume a most conservarive attitude, for close flgurers who know the ground in many instances name 1500 to 1800 as the correct estimate. These counties gave Furnish 270 ma jority over Chamberlain to carry tnera itn luuu, iteatnee win have wiped out the Furnish majority, and have 24 votes to the good, if the re mainder t'f the District be as it was in 1902. But, Washington, Clackamas, Yam hilt which went for FurniBh heavily, will, beyond much doubt go for Resin e. Presume them to be a "standoff" ami the 753 majority the) gave Furnish will be subtracted from the Reames opposi tion to make up for pjssible losses even where. Hermann's normal strength, which he should inherit from the Furnish vote, crumbles to pieces in all of the re maining counties of the District. In Lane, Benton and many other counties he has lost from the votes that were cast for Furnish, until Reames' election seems to be practically assured. ADVICES ARE FAVORABLE. At the Reames Headquarters here, advices are received from workers in all parts of the District. These advices have been tabulated, and it is found that, after taking the figures on their face, and discounting them most liber ally, a majority for Reames remains. Last week for a day or two came the critical time. It passed with the flood still running in favor of Reames, as it has from the beginning, with Hermann upon the defensive, a weak position for any candidate, he loes constantly. Con fidence in the outcome is expressed at the Reames Headquarters. Returns justify that confidence. yarns. Alrk Hose Supporters, Elastic Web Belts, Suspenders, Beads, Cubt AICfla pins.
