FONTELLAS WIN AGAIN
BATTED VICTORY FROM OREGON
CITY IX A GOOD GAME.
Jolly Good Fellows Played Fast Ball
and Kept the Score a. Tie lor
Seven Innings.
Five hundred fans saw the Fontella
baseball nine roll up a score of 15 to
S on the Jolly Good Fellows of Oregon
City In the second game of the series of
the Pacific Amateur Baseball League. Up
to the seventh Inning the score was a
tie, and both nines were playing rattling
good -ball. The Jolly Good Fellows car
Tied their faces around wreathed In smiles
as they thought of the prospect of carry
ing back the scalps of the red-suited
Fontellas on their belts. They had visions
of being met at the train by the home
brass band, they saw a triumphal pro
cession forming, with the victorious nine
marching proudly behind and receiving
the acclaim of a grateful populace. When
they woke up. the Fontellas were tear
ing around the bases as fast as firemen
Tunning to a Are. And before they had
fully recovered from the trance, the
Fontellas had a lead of seven runs.
There was one man on the Oregon City
team who deserved a serenade, even if his
team did lose. In a lightning striking fin
ish. He was Church, the first baseman.
In the fifth inning he was the first man
up to the plate, and the score was 4 to 1
In favor of Oregon City. He saw a high
ball come whizzing through the air,
twisting and whirling like the flight of
a projectile. He stepped up to it like a
man, and swung the bat on It with all
the force of his 180 pounds.
Away that ball .sailed. -Stop It," yelled
a rooter, "Bring that ball back; It's not
fair to kill a ball like that"
But the ball sailed on. All the play
ers stopped to look at It. Right Fielder
Oliver saw It leap over a right field fence,
and almost carry with It the small boys
stealing a view of the game. Vainly he
wished for a pair of stilts 20 feet long.
Church had sprinted to first before the
resonant sound of his bat's crack and the
cheers of the bleachers at the first ball
sent over the fence on the new grounds,
had died out. Then, when he saw what he
had done, his nerve failed. He ceased his
headlong flight, and modestly walked J
around the bases, pausing at the home
plate to doff his cap, while receiving an
ovation from all the Tooters In the grand
stand. After"1 this lucky drive the crowd kent
tholr eyes on Church whenever he came
to the bat. Another home run. Church,"
the bleachers would call out. But one a
day was enough for Mr. Church. In
Sfi.Ai!i!5;!tae f the fourth inning neither
eighth the small boys said "Oh," when the
deep, bass tones of Umpire Rankin came
floating up to the stand "One str Ike,
two str Ikes, three str ikes, and out"
when Church fanned the wind the last
time he came tip.
The first Inning opened with a goose-egg
score for both teams, and the fans on the
bleachers heaved a sigh of relief. The
Oregon City boys were going to put up a
good game. In the second Clark crossed
the plate for the first run of the game
on a -combination of errors by the Fon
tella. pitcher and catcher. When the Fon
tellas were shut out In their time at the
bat things began to get Interesting. In
the third Black singled, reached second
on an error, and came home on an error
of catcher.
Lavler got a scratch two-bagger and

catcher. In the fourth Chapman singled
and scored on Lavier's hit.
The Fontellas commenced to land on
Pitcher Belt in the fifth. "White took
his base on balls. Black sent out
a two-bagger. Fay sent a grounder to
second, White being put out at the plate.
Parrott lined out a two-bagger, scoring
Fay and Black. Rich Parrott struck out,
and Austin flew to second, retiring the
side.
With this start the Fontellas kept on
scoring, assisted by timely hits by Jor
dan, Austin, Parrott, and two-bagger by
Jacobs and three-baggers by Parrott and
Black.
White pitched a steady, game, as did
Belt up to the seventh. The Oregon City
team was badly out of practice, but has
good material for the making of a fast
nine. The clean fielding of the Fontella
players, and the batting of Black and
Arch Parrott and Hedges, Lavler and
Church, were the features of the game.
Next Sunday there will be a double at
traction, the Stephens nine meeting Ore
gon City at 1:30 P. M., and the Fontellas
playing Vancouver at 3 o'clock.

EXPORTS FROM OREGON
COMMODITIES PORTLAND SHIPS TO
SAN FRANCISCO.
Busy Sunday nt the O. R. & N. "Wharf
When the California Steamer
I Taking: Cargo.
A visit to the O. R. & N. docks on Sun
dayt when the California steamer Is In
port, will convince any one that In the
strenuous life of steamship men and long
shoremen the commandment, "Remember
the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," cuts
but a " small figure. It will also give
one a faint Idea of the number and va
riety of articles grown or manufactured
In Oregon which are exported to Califor
nia. A man who strayed down on the
dock yesterday found a score or more of
roustabouts rushing frantically about and
trucking all sorts of stuff on board the
Geo. W. Elder, under the direction of a
rather portly man, dressed in a uniform
cap and plain clothes, who has been
bossing things around that dock for a
score of years. .When expostulated with
for working men on Sunday, he said his
men have no more Idea about Sunday
than a hog has about a holiday, and are
no more fitted for going to the good
place than the bad place Is for a powder
house. .
In getting Into the dock the visitor
stumbled over & pile f bar ron and
dame into collision with a truck loaded
with hoop-poles. The big man took him
in charge and answered his question.
He said the Iron Is made at the rolling
mills here, and a lot of It Is shipped to
California on every steamer. As to oak
hoop-poles, there Is no end to the ship
ping of them. Some oak, staves, also, are
shipped, and a corresponding number of
"bunghples." When asked in what shape
"bungholes" are shipped, he pointed out
a pile of 200 sacks of them, and pulled
one out of a hole in a-sack? It was
a short block of wood turned of a size
to fit the bunghole of a cask, and having
a hole bored through the center. These
are used in making the rolls of paper
so common on counters nowadays as
wrapping paper. The rod supporting thr
rolls runs through the holes in the cen
ter of the "bung." Near by were rows of
casks of linseed oil, barrels of tallow,
stacks of potatoes, piles of flour of dif
ferent brands, all going to California.
There were also several tons of fresh roll
butter In boxes.
Early in the Spring, when grass first
gets good In California, butter Is shipped
here from San Francisco. When the
grass gets good here It has dried up In
California and Oregon butter Is shipped
to San Francisco. Considerable part 'of
the cargo of steamers leaving here for
San Francisco is made up of paper man
ufactured at Oregon City. Among other
.Oregon manufactured articles being put
on board the steamer was a number of
crates of horse 'collars, a pile of sheet
iron, Klondike stoves, piles of box shooks,
lots of wooden pulleys for machinery,
made "by the Portland Pulley Company.
Piles of pelts of sheep and goats, oxen
and horses, were also being trucked on
hoard. It would take too much space to
give a complete list of the Oregon products
exported, but it must be said that near
ly "every steamer leaves a lot of stuff
on the wharf for which there Is not room
on board.

HAY COMPRESSING PLANT.
Portland Firm Contracts to Supply
the Government.
The new hay compressing establishment
of Albers & Schneider, on the river front,
just below Alaska dock, Is not entirely
completed, but four hay compressors are
Installed there, and yesterday men were
hard at work compressing- hay. Sherback
& Pollock, the contractors for the build
ing, have been working seven days in
the week and late at night to get the
building, which Is 100x100 feet,' completed,
a's Albers & Schneider Jiave a contract to
supply the Government with 1700 tons of'
compressed hay, and the transport
Oopach, which is to take it' away, is due
here( any day. They have four compress
ing 'machines, operated by two 50-horse-power
electric motors. Two of these com
press the hay Into square bales, and two
into round bales. The square bales are
made faster than the round ones, but the
round ones are more solid. A round bale
three feet long and 18 Inches In diameter,
weighing from 275 to 310 pounds, is as
solid as a block of Tvood. The bales be
ing so small, the space lost in stowing
them amounts to very little. The Whit
man compressors put a ton of hay into a
spaqe of about 150 feet, while the Low
ery compressor puts a ton into a space
of ahout SO feet. Of the 1700 tons of hay
now being compressed .for the Govern
ment, 500 tons come from Idaho.
Albers & Schneider have furnished the
Government with 6000 tons of hay this
season, Of which about 2000 tons came
from Idaho. They propose to have a hay
warehouse and compressing plant here
capable of filling all orders for the Gov
ernment or. for export promptly, and will
proceed to enlarge their building by ex
tending it 100 feet further to the river
and building a dock in front where the
hay j can be loaded directly on steamers.
They will also Increase the width of their
building until it covers their entire tract
of 250x260 feet. With such an establish
ment located here, farmers can feel con
fident of finding a market for their hay,
and so will many more. There Is prac
tically no limit to "the amount of hay
which might be raised In this region If
fanners could feel certain of finding a
market for It at remunerative prices.

TENNIS HANDICAP SLOW
TOURNAMENT THUS FAR DEVOID
OF GOOD PIjAYING.
Gosb and Leivls Doing: Well In the
Doubles Contest Between Wlck-
ershnnt Brothers.
With the exception of the team work
of Goss and Lewis, which Is admirable,
the Multnomah handicap tennis tourna
ment thus far has not brought out par
ticularly good playing on the part of any
one: This Is accounted for by the fact
that the weather has not permitted con
sistent practice. The ignorance of the
playing rules shown by the individual con
testants is wholly Inexcusable. There is
hardly a man on the courts who serves
as provided by the rules. This particu
lar rule Is as follows: "The server shall
serve with both feet behind; I. e far
ther from the net than the. back line. It
Is not a fault If one of the server's
feet does not touch the ground at the
moment at which the service Is delivered.
He shall Dlace both feet on the ground
immediately before serving, and shall not
take a running or walking start."
The most Interesting single match of
the 'tournament thus far was that be
tween Lloyd and Brandt Wlckersham
Saturday. Both played from scratch. Tne
'match attracted attention, not so much
on account of the closeness of the score
or the brilliant playing, but because the
contestants are brothers, and It has been
an open question since last season as to
which is the superior player. Bfandt won
the match, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2. Of the 156 points
played, Brandt won 83 and Lloyd 73. Lloyd
understands the points of the game much
better than Brandt, but has not the en
durance or persistence of his younger
brother.
Lumgair, receiving 15.4, defeated H. Lee,
receiving 15.15, 6-2, 6-2. Lewis, scratch, won
from Lelter, receive 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, in a match
characterized for its slowness and lack
of spirit. Neither displayed, the skill to
be expected from men ranked in the sec
ond class.
Goss and Lewis, in the doubles, are play
ing better this year than ever before.
Their net game Is splendid and exceeding
ly difficult to break through, while they
smash lobs In a way that completely dis
courages their opponents. Goss and Lewis,
owe 15 3, handily defeated Ollphant and
Gomph, receiving 4-6. 6-2, 6-2. The lat
ter team was never in the race. Gomph
displayed great skill In lobbing, which
would, have been most effective against
any other opposing team. Thlelsen and
McAlpln, receiving 4.6, defeated Holt and
Alllston, receiving 15.4, by the score or
7-5, 5-7, 6-2. This match was very close, as
a result of good handicapping. Holt sur
prised everyone by the enorpious terri
tory covered by him. The Wlckersham
brothers, scratch, after, losing the first
set, on account of miserable team work,
defeated Miles and Mackay, receiving 15.2,
by the score of 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.
The following matches will be played

DAIRY ' MEETINGS.
Campaign of Education Among Wll
Inmette Valley Farmers.
The Southern Pacific Company has
made another move in the Interest of
the dairy industry of the Willamette Val
ley. It has secured for a short time the
services of C. L. Smith, an expert dairy
man, from Minnesota, formerly of the
Farmers' Institute, and Dairy Inspector of
that state, who will deliver a series of
lectures to the farmers in Western Ore
gon on the subject of dairying and di
versified farming. Mr. Smith took an im
portant part in the development of the
dairying industry in Minnesota from the
time when, 16 years 'ago, the first farm
ers' institute meeting was held in that
state, and was recently Induced to come
to Oregon and take up the same line of
Work here. He is at his best when dis
cussing the causes which led to the re
markable growth of this particular
branch of agriculture in Minnesota, where
Freeborn County Is today considered the
model creamery county in the Middle
West.
Successful farmers' metlngs, addressed
by Mr. Smith,' were held last week at
Macleay and . Woodburn, under the
auspices of the local grange organizations,
and were well attended. An Interesting
feature at both meetings was the open
discussion of Improved methods and sub
jects of Interest by the farmers present.
The railroad people consider that now,
when new creameries are coming Into ex
Istence.at so many towns in the Willam
ette Valley, is the time to promote and
encourage the development of thlp val
uable Industry, which adds so much to
the prosperity of the community "where
it is being carried on. Arrangements have
been made for meetings this week at
Sclo, Wednesday, May 15; at Sllverton,
under the auspices of the Board of Trade,
Thursday, May 16; and at Iawrence, May
17.
Mr. Smith is accompanied while in the
valley, by H. E. Lounsbury, traveling
freight agent of the Southern Pacific, who
is well informed In the matter of pres
ent and prospective markets for cream
ery products.

ing season. But on the other hand, the
merchant and business .public generally
are Immensely benefited.
Few producers stop to figure up the situ
ation when tempted to speculate by hold
ing for higher prices. He commonly re
fuses to sell. He has Incurred obliga
tions at the banks, which are always
glad to loan on wheat or wool. The ware
houseman is glad to have the products
held, Inasmuch as he is thus assured of
larger returns in his charges for stor
age. The Insurance men are not sorry to
see the producer hold, since It gives nlm
larger profits In Insuring the stuff for a
longer period. ' The merchant, however, is
In a peculiar position. He must accommo
date the wheat or woolgrower with the
supplies needed to carry on his camps ana
farms. But he dare not often ask for
interest on the amount represented by his
customers bills. He cannot carry these
customers indefinitely, for the reason that
he is all the time losing the use of the
capital he Invested with the wholesaler,
and yet he must in some manner receive
compensation. Hence, he Is compelled to
add to the prices quoted to the sheep or
wheatman a percentage equal to Interest
on the money.
Thus the producer pays insurance,
warehouse charges, interest to the bank,
Interest to the merchant, while all the
time he runs the risk of being compelled
at a later date to sell at lower prices
than. he could secure when the stuff Is
first ready for the market. A computa
tion of all these charges, with the risk
of a lower market in the future, will dem
onstrate that, on the average, throughout
the years, to hold Is to lose.

DROWNED IN A SLOUGH
FARMER'S BOY THROWS FROM THB
BACK OF A HORSE.
"Was Kicked In the Forehead as Ho
Floated in the Water Body
Recovered. While riding horseback with another
boy along Columbia Slough, about five
miles from Portland. Saturday, H-year-old
Harvey Milton Paddock, a farmer's
son, fell Into the river and was drowned.
Paddock's playmate suggested the rlda
for the purpose of finding cows that
had strayed away. "There's no school
today and we can go for a good time."
said the playmate, and Paddock assented.
The strayed cows were found wading In
the cool water. la order to get to them
the boys had to ride over a bridge scan
ning a deep part o the slough. How the
acciJjnt occurred the survivor cannot
cleaiy explain. The horse suddenly
swa?tVed .from the narrow bridge and
iuJh 5" lnt0 the "water, with the boys
oilrnls back.
"Get on your knees," said Paddock to"
his friend, and both boys kept their feet
from touching the water. The horse be
gan to struggle, and Paddock lost his
hold of his friend and fell backward, the
horse kicking him as he floated. Pad
dock could swim a little, but when one
of the horse's hoofs crashed against his
forehead he must have been stunned, for
he sank and was not seen again.
The other boy clutched; the horse and
shouted for help. His cries were heard
by people who were some distance away,
and he was rescued. Search was begun
for Paddock and nine hours afterward his
body wa3 found. There was a cut on
the "forehead wSere the horse had kicked
the boy. The body was- taken to his par
ents' home, and the funeral will tako
place today.

Profits of Good Fleece.
Heppner Gazette.
Morrow County sheepraisers are alive
to the fact that the modern mutton sheep
must also be a wool producer. Futurel
wool supply must come largely from
sheep grown primarily for mutton, it is
essential, then, that a mutton sheep have
a good fleece as well as a good carcass.
This combination is both practicable and
profitable. It is no longer regarded neces
sary to grow one sheep for a fleece, an
other for a carcass, and another- for a
Iamb. The Intelligent fiockmaster com
bines them all in one class. Some ot the
best mutton sheep are producing as prof
itable fleeces as those kept exclusively, for
wool, and their lambs are decidedly su
perior.
One of the first essentials In a good
fleece Is compactness or density. OJhis
quality not only Insures a better yield ot
wool, but it affords a better protection
against storms and Indicates a hardier
animal, better able to withstand exposure.
A close, even dense fleece, with no braks
should cover all parts of the body, ic
eluding the head and limbs and under
parts. The tendency In Improvement of
the wool-producing qualities of the mod
ern breeds has been toward carrying the
fleece more completely over the head,
face, limbs and lower line. The advantage
is not so much in the increased yield of
wool grown on these parts, as that Is
of little consequence, but in the accom
panying tendency to a larger and better
yield of wool in all the parts. A bare
faced and barelegged sheep Is a relatively
light shearer.
