JTortliircst Pacific AKKodatlon. to 2Ieet and Schedule Garnet Bac- bcll Talk Other Xerra. 7he spring meeting of the 2orth est Pacific Association of the Amateur Ath letic "Union, which will take place in this city a week from next Saturday, 13 of the greatest importance. At that time the schedule of games and field meets for the entire outing reason must be made up, and the association must determine who . may enter and compete pon such oc casions. The association only has two regal&r meetings each year, the second one occurring on the eve of the associa tion championship meeting, September 29, which is the closing event of the field and track season. At the coming meeting there is evidence that the most harmoni ous feeling will prevail, so that all busi ness will be disponed of with dlsoatch. The season promises to be the most event ful that the Pacific Northwest has ever experienced. Commencing with the open ing handicap games of the arlous clubs, it will run through a series of baseball contests, regattas and field meets that will give athletes all they can do right up to the date of the championship games. All of these events must be classified and properly scheduled by the committees of the association, so that no two contests will occur on the same date, and that Involves 2. great deal of labor. The as sociation will have at least one application for membership to pass upon, that of the Port Townsend Athletic Association, and there is a possibility of applications from the Seattle Y. M. C. A. and the ne.v Yakima club coming up at the same time. Only four applications have thus far been filed by clubs desiring to partici pate in the amateur baseball champion ship series, to be played under the aus pices of the Xorthwest Pacific Associa tion this summer. The Port Townsend Club had anticipated entering a team In the contest, and has plenty of excellent material at hand, but Dr. Cobb, the secre tary, in a recent letter to Chairman Davey, of the Portland club athletic committee, says that his fellow elubmen feel that they are not strong enough to risk the heavy expense that such a series of games would entail. IGrande would like to enter a team, but such a proposition would not meet with favor in the eyes of the schedule committee, as LaGrande is so far away that railroad fares for visit ing clubs would be very expensive, and it is feared that it would prove a losing proposition. So the chances are that only the Portland and Multnomah clubs, of this city, and the Seattle and Tacoma !AthIetic Clubs will have representative teams in the field. And that will be enough to make things interesting, so local cranks say. It is proposed that each club team shall play sir games two each with each of the other teams in the combination. As the season of field and track meetings will extend almost to the middle of June, and bicycle tournaments are fashionable early in August, it Is es sential that the baseball season be made as short as possible. With only four clubs in the combination, the schedule can easily be arranged so that the opening games can be played during the first or second week in June, and the finals before Aug ust 1. This will give Portland four games within six weeks, and that ought to be enough to satisfy the most exacting of cranks. The whole matter will come un der discussion at the spring meeting of the association, which will take place in this city March 9. At that time it will be known definitely just what clubs will enter teams in the championship contest, and just who the players will be. The Vhedule will be fully arranged. The semi-annual meeting of the North Pacific Association of Amateur Oarsmen, in which Portland Is represented by the Portland and Willamette Rowing Clubs, has been called for March 15. at Victoria, B. C. The Wlllamettes will be represent ed there by Al Werloln and P. J. Bannon, and the Portland Rowing Club by H. E. Judge and T. White. President Gold smith, of the Seattle Athletic Club, Is the president. The coming meeting is im portant, because at that time the associ atlon will fix upon the date of the mid summer regatta and the place of holding it. The Portland men are unanimously In favor of holding the regatta early In July, and It has been suggested that the date be fixed as July 1. As the place of meeting will undoubtedly be in British waters, no better date could be named, as July 1 is Dominion day, the biggest holiday of the year In British posses sions. The annual meeting of the Port land Rowing Club will take place within a few days, and its delegates will probably be instructed to use their Influence to se cure such an arrangement. The Seattle crew expects to be In shape to row in British Columbia on May 24. so that that date will undoubtedly suit the Seattle dele gates. The regatta will come to Portland again in 1S8C The committee appointed to revise the constitution and by-laws of the Zig-Zag Cycle Club will probably le prepared to make a report at the next meeting, which will take place next Tuesday evening. Pew ohanges will be made. It will be recommended that an amendment be made governing club runs and regulating the iwee to be adopted on club runs. Club meets will very likely be made a promi nent feature. Appointments will be made for the members of the club to assemble at a certain place at Hlllsboro, Salem Oregon City or at such place as may be dosigrmted. The club will then travel net in a body, but In twos, fours, etc., until all have collected at the place designated, where there will be a short parade before dinner. The return home will be made in the same manner. This is regarded as greatly preferable to trav oMng in a bunch, raising a disagreeable cNtet: besides, there is constant danger from "pile-ups" when riding In a bunch. There will be some long runs during the oemlng reason, and century trips will be foaturee. Kven a meet in the Siskiyou mountains is now talked of. r CWairman Davey. of the Portland club athletic committee, is hard at work de veloping material for the coming inloor meet of the First Regiment Association, which is scheduled to take place March . at the Armory. One of his stars is Baker, a left-handed shot-putter, who, aHliougli but little more than a novice, has thrown the 1-pound weight over 55 feet at practice. Baker also makes some pretense at high jumping, and will enter the nUe walk. Miller Frischkorn, Snyder and Bnckman will be entered for the bar contests, and will also participate In some of the strength tests and track events. Washburn and Lasswell. halfbacks, will onter for several of the track events, and luicford and Sooggin will be with them. Taytor will be there at the high jump, and ISA Davey will try his luck with the 12 pound fmoc The Portlands are now omewhat handicapped by lack of proper training quarters, but provision will be for them soon. Charles Frasier. who captured the threo nine event from the scratch at the Oiym ytc Chtb meet in San Francisco last week, is the crack wheelman in the Multnomah cmfe. and a student at Palo Alto. Frasier is looked upon as a coming man. He is ex young, but was successful in carrying .j. way the prises in nearly all long-distance svaa here last summer. He will ride for tfco Mtrttaomahs again during the coming season. The Seattle Athlettc dub's initial In door games proved a great success in point of attendance and exciting contests, although It was not markeu by any un usual exhibitions of muscle or skill, nor were any records broken or even tied. As Is usual in handicap games, most of the older athletes had too much to overcome to make a good showing, and most of the honors were carried off by new men. But it is worthy of remark that some of the new men were worthy of the honors they won. H. H. Connor, a new man, cap tured the 100 and 440-yard events, and the 220-yard hurdle and the pole-vault. It is said that he is a graceful athlete, and one who has a most promising future. E. . Blancke, who visited the city with the S. A. C. football team, secured the half-mile and took second place in the quarter and 220-yard hurdle. Fisher, Strove, Atkins, Abrams and several other new men gave good accounts of them selves. Connor won the Hansen medal. Professor Barker, who has so long and faithfully served the Multnomah as an instructor in athletics, has been obliged to resign his position on account of ill health. That arch enemy of athletes, rheumatism, has claimed him as a victim, and on April 1 he will leave his charge. The members of the Multnomah club are sorry to lose the professor, as he has been with them since the club started, and his duties have been performed most satisfactorily. Professor King, who has been the club's trainer at the track in past seasons, has been employed for a year, and will temporarily take charge of the gymnasium classes. No regular gym nasium instructor will be secured until next fall, owing to the nearness of the outing season. Trainer King is a man who thoroughly understands his business. Formal announcement has been made by the Tacoma Athletic Club that It will give Its initial spring handicap games during the latter part of May. Chairman Rowe, of the athletic committee, has en tered an application for May 30 as the date, and it will undoubtedly be granted. The Multnomah club has In past years se lected May 30 as the date of ts spring games, and has had an application in for that date for some time; but owing to the fact that this Is the Initial effort of the Tacoma club to arrange such a meet ing, there is a growing sentiment in the Multnomah club to waive its right of priority in the matter, and to render all the assistance In Its power to make the Tacoma games a success by sending over a strong team to test the strength and endurance of the Sound men. It has been suggested that if the peo ple of Eastern Oregon and Washington are "hungering" for a season of baseball, an amateur league might be formed to include La Grande, Pendleton, Baker City and Walla Walla, and at the close of the season the victorious club mlqht easily secure a game with the winner of the N. P. A. pennant, to decide the amateur championship of the two states. The JLa Grande club is a strong organization anJ has excellent material already developed. An amateur baseball team Is now being organized at Walla Walla, under the patronage of officers at the fort. It would be a simple matter to Interest Baker City and Pendleton In the scheme, and the N. P. A. would lend all the assistance in its power to make the scheme a success. The preliminary steps have been taken' by the East Side department of the Y. M. C. A. for the organization of a cycle club for the season. A committee on rules has been appointed to report at the meeting to be held next Friday night. The formation of this club will be some v hat different from any other in the city, but its object in some respects is .ibout the same. It has been decided not to load it down with cumbersome constitution and and by-laws, but It will be governed en tirely by a set of simple rules, setting forth the officers and committees. Club meets will be made a specialty. A place will be appointed several miles in the country, and arrangements will be entered into for a speaker who will deliver a lec ture at the place of meeting. The Astoria football club has intro duced an amusement and exercise that is entirely new on the coast. It Is known as "riding the ' elephant." The performer mounts a large barrel elevated about four feet from the floor on a greased pole 12 feet long. The pole runs through a hole In each end of the barrel, and the rider Is supposed to pull himself across that slippery slide by means of a rope. It is a difficult feat to perform; Indeed. It is said no one has yet been able to do it success fully. It creates lots of amusement for the audience. Luders, Oakes, Bert Farrell, Gilliland, Townsend and W. E. Stevens were the Multnomah men who participated in the cross-country run yesterday morning. The course was over the Burnside-street bridge, up the Base Line road to tbe Ladd tract, then back to the clubhouse by vay of the Madison-street bridge. The run was made in excellent time, and on their return to the clubhouse the boys were all given a rubdown by Trainer King. These runs are steadily increasing in popularity, and next week it is expected that there will be a large turnout. The final contest in the Multnomah-Arlington bowling tournament will take place on the Arlington club alleys on Tuesday of this week. It was postponed last week because of the absence from the city of some of the Arlington strong men. The athletes now lead by 110 points. PLAYERS OF AVHIST. Xcw of the "Woelc In the Porilnnd Clubs. During the past week the Seattle Ath letic Club has forwarded an application for membership in the North Pacific Whist League, with the Intention of being repre sented by a team in the approaching congress. The directors of the Portland Athletic Club have also passed a resolu tion signifying their intention to apply for membership. The challenge contest be tween the Portland Whist Club and the Heart Club for possession of the league trophy will take place at the rooms of the former organization on Thursday and Saturday evenings of this week. Twenty four hands will be played each evening. The Heart Club will be represented by Messrs. T. M. Stevens. S. B. Linthicum, George Clark and Couch Flanders; the Portland Whist Club by Messrs. C. L. Nichols, Neil McMillan, Herbert Wilson and Richard Nixon. The match will be umpired by Mr E. H. Shepard. The above mentioned team from the Portland Whist Club went over to Van couver barracks last Saturday evening and played a match with a team from the Officers' Club. The officers were represent ed by Major Marshall. Lieutenant Las beign. Lieutenant Little and Lieutenant Sehon. Three series of 12 hands each were played. On the first the Portland Whist won four points and on the second three. The third series was a tie. This gave the match to the Portland players by seven points, just about one-fifth of a point a hand. Preparations are actively making for the league congress. Probable reductions in hotel and railroad rates, combined with the attractive programme arranged, will bring together a notable gathering of whist players. There is considerable talk about having the winning team repre sent the Pacific Northwest at the fifth annual congress of the American Whist League, which will meet in Minneapolis next June. The Portland Whist Club has offered to whist clubs composed of women the use of its rooms on certain afternoons of the week, and the propriety of having a ladies night is under discussion. A move in this direction was made last Tuesday evening, when a dozen or more of the raeraber.5 were present with their wives and friends.

Think They Have a Good Thing:. Little, if any, enthusiasm was notice able yesterday over the result of the sen atorial contest. But few of the legisla tive members arrived in Portland on the 1 early morning train, but the Boseburg local brought down a goodly number of then, and the happiest-looking portion of the crowd were the populists. This small contingent of the recent legislature wore a self-satisfied air after loading up the republican political cart with a full load cf campaign materia, that will be put where it will do the most gcod when an other general election comes around. While the populists would have been will ing to support Lord for United States senator, if the governor could have se cured enough others to secure an elec tion, they were really in favor of letting the session pass by without an election, then go before the people armed with the argument that the republicans, holding the power, failed to perform their duty. One of the valley representatives, who had steadily voted with the opposition against the caucus nominee, said yester day: "If Dolph could have held his forces together on Saturday night nothing couli have prevented his election. There were several of the opposition who Intended to vote for him rather than have no one chosen. Everything was arranged with such end in view. There were seven cf the opposition who had agreed to vote for Dolph on the last ballot. Represen tative Yates, who was last on the roll, was to lead off in the change, and when he gave the signal six others were to change their votes. Representative Yates was willing at any time to give the cue, and was held down to the last ballot, but the break in the Dolph ranks came when least expected, and Yates never had a chance to go over. It was at one time arranged that this programme should be carried out last Tuesday, but only two of the seven would agree, and it was post poned until the last night of the session. "Even as it was, had another ballot been taken, Dolph would have been elected. The short time allowed for a last ballot was a badly managed affair, and when it was discovered that only seven minutes remained of the session there was no time left for another ballot, and fearing ad journment without an election, a scram ble was made to vote for McBride, until enough changes were made to insure his election, and then it was made unani mous." There are some republican members of the legislature who are not afraid to say that Senator Mitchell was anxious to have Mr. Dolph defeated. Said one yea terday: "The high standing of Dolph in Washington and the prominence he at tained in the senate was a thorn in the side of Mitchell. In fact, he found him self completely overshadowed by the pres ence of Oregon's senior senator. Mitchell refused to say a single word In favor of Dolph, although his advice was sought, and more th:m one believes that he, mort than anyone else, was instrumental in pre venting the election of Mr. Dolph. Mitch- ell wants some one In the senate from Oregon whom he can control, but the friends of McBride, who is to take the place of Dolph, do not think that he will ever allow himself to become a puppet in the hands of his senior colleague." Mr. John C. Young, of Baker county, is regarded as the" brightest of the pop ulist members of the legislature. He was born and reared In Salt Lake City, and for many years was attached to the edi torial force of the Tribune. Coming to Oregon several years ago, he located in Baker county, and is now engaged in mining in th Cracker Creek district. Al though from a family of democrats, Mr. Young, up to two years ago, was an ar dent republican. Now, he says, he is incidentally a populist, because he be lieves In the free coinage of silver, which he doubts the republican party will ever recognize. He Is firmly convinced that the results of the recent legislature have paved the ay to certain success for the populists in Oregon in 1S0S, and that that party will elect a United States senator to succeed J. H. Mitchell. Representa tive Young did not always vote with his populistic brothers, as he supported the Portland bridge bill. He voted against the charter bill on account of the refusal to amend the same by lealng Its adop tion to the people, and he attended Sen ator Corbett's dinner because he wanted to find out what legislation was needed for Portland, and was not afraid to accept the hospitality of a distinguished citizen of the state. The members of the railroad commis sion, the fish and game warden, pilot and food commissions, state agricultural commission, and the state boatman at Astoria, are all in high feather. The leg islature adjourned without electing their successors, and to a man they now con tend that they hold over In oITtce. The usual caucus for the nomination of such offices is held the last week of the ses sion, but the senatorial fight became so exciting that the proposed caucus was postponed until too late, and there are 100 or more aspirants left out in the cold. It is generally regarded that the office holders have the best of it, as under the general terms of their election they are supposed to hold office until their suc cessors are elected and qualify. There Is no one to qualify this time, and the unlooked-for streak of good luck causes a broad smile to cover the faces of the 3tate officials chosen by the legislature, par ticularly the board of railroad commis sioners, who had little hope of being re elected, even if the bill providing for its abolishment failed to pass. Several legislators in the city yesterday were asked for an opinion on the out come of the senatorial fight. Here are some of the opinions expressed: Representative Shutrum, Umatilla Mr. McBride will make a good senator for Oregon. He was a man that all the re publicans could support, and the people of the state will find in him a good repre sentative and one who will zealously work for their best Interests. Representative Long, Multnomah George McBride is a good man. From his long connection with the people of Oregon, he has become conversant with all their interests. I think he will give general satisfaction and he is a man in every way worthy the position. Senator Alley, Lane county I regard Mr. McBride as an honest, upright man, a clean man and one who will reflect credit on the state. When his name came up I voted for him because I believed that in him the whole state would be repre sented and its interests protected. I am well satisfied with his election. AMUSEMENTS.

An engineer ' at Deer Lodge, Mont., writes to The Oregonian as follows: "The United States geological survey, in its annual reports frcm 1SS2 to 1SD0, gives but little space to Oregon; so little in fact as to be- of, no practical value to an en gineer as to the resources of that state. Has there ever been any survey made by the government or state, or any work published giving an account of the geol ogy and mineral resources of Oregon that may be considered reliable?" It is not probable that any such work has been published. The geological sur vey has done very little work in this state. Several years since a party made some preliminary examinations in the southern part of the state, and worked their way up as far as the Three Sisters, where Lieutenant Hayden (or Hazen), in charge, was nearly killed by a mass of rocks sliding down upon him. Since that time the geological survey has done no work In this state. Mr. Charles D. "Wol cott, chief of the geological survey, was here last fall, looking over the country and making plans for future operations in the general lines of the survey. He said he hoped to, have some work done in this section before long. The making of a complete geological survey of the United States is an immense undertaking, not likely to be accomplished within the next century. If a topographical survey is completed within the next generation cr two it will be as much as can be done. A pretty thorough geological survey has been made, and maps printed of some small areas, but this has been confined to ispectal districts, where there are rich mineral deposits, as in the iron regions of Alabama. The state had a geologist. Professor Condon, for some two years, and then the office was abolished. He submitted a brief report, but, of course, had not had time to make any extended investigations in regard to the mineral resources of the state. There have been any number of pamphlets published by the Immigration board and others on the resources of Oregon, all of which furnished some In formation in regard to the mining and mineral resources of this section, but in a brief form. GOLF IN PORTLAND. "Links" Established at Piedmont for tbe Scotch Xntional Game. Golf, the Scotch national game, has at last struck this section, and it is to be presumed that it has come to stay. The first symptom of the great Scotch game, wnich appears to have been enjoying a great boom in the United States of late, was seen on Washington street yesterday in the form of two healthy, stalwart young men striding along as if shod in seven-league boots, and carrying under their arms a number of golf sticks or clubs. The appearance of such clubs is familiar to all, for one can hardly pick up a magazine without seeing an illustration of golf players out on the "links" In all sorts of attitudes, striking the ball or pausing to consider how to strike it, or grouped about one of the holes or pock ets considering how a ball shall best be got In or got out, and always at the heels of each Is a "caddie" with a sack full of golf sticks. A reporter accosted the young men in question, and found that they were on their way to Piedmont to play golf, there being several Scotchmen in that addition who have golf outfits, and who have es tablished small "links" there. In reply to the questions of the reporter, the young men stated that golf is pronounced "goft" in Scotland. The number of sticks or clubs used In playing the game is eight or nine, which necessitates the services of a "caddie" to carry them. For the benefit of the ignorant It may be stated that golf Is a game played with a small ball and sticks or clubs crooked at one end, and the crocks are of various shapes and sices to meet the exigencies of the game. The player who drives the ball into a series of small holes in the ground and brings It into the last hole with the fewest sticks is the winner. The game is played out in the open country, and the course over which the player3 must go is called a "link," which term, in Scot S READY-TO-WEAR SKIRTS -S-rjd.

The prices are the lowest ever quoted in Portland for like qualities. land, means, primarily, the windings of a river and the lands lying along them. The holes into which the ball Is to be knocked are strung along a distance sometimes of several miles, and in con sequence the game furnishes plenty of exercise In the way of walking, and swinging a club. The holes are generally placed in the least accessible spots, so that It is difficult to get the ball into them. The term "caddie" is derived from cadet, and signifies a messenger or er rand boy. Ono of the chief charms of golf Is the tramping across country, and the conse quent exercise in the open air. It is played by ladies as well as gentlemen, and often in quite unpleasant weather. The golf capes, so many of which are now seen on the streets, are made to be worn while playing this game, and are furnished with straps across the breast so that the cape can be thrown back over the shoulders when the wearer requires freedom of the arms to wield the clubs. The game is not played on Sunday in Scotland, where, in some parishes, a man is not allowed to "whustle" his dog back on the "Saubath," and the fact that it is played here on Sunday shows that Scotch men are not slow to avail themselves of the greater liberty allowed in such mat ters in this home of the brave and land of the free. One of the objections to the game, as far as some are concerned, are the same the old Scotch sergeant men tioned by Kipling had to a charge, "it makes the men sweer so." Some imagine that the game will not find much favor with Americans, as It is too slow, but when they have seen it played they will know moro about it.
