Stephen and OrcRon City Game Colled in tlie Third Inning an Account of Rain. The double attraction at the profes- felonal baseball park yesterday afternoon J drew S00 baseball-loving spectators, tho isat cuddled together In the grandstand, trjlng to keep warm and to dodge the rain drops that did their best to blow in. On the field In the mud the ama teurs cavorted like mud larks on the turf. To the tune of 7 to 1 the Stephens team Jn three innings ""rolled the Oregon Citys In the soft mushy slush. The Fontellas plajed nine innings against the Van couver Yellow Hatnmers, scoring 9 touch downs In the lagoon at home plate, to their opponents' 3. The first game, befweejL the Stephens plajers and the Oregon City nine, was chiefly notable for "the daring w Ith w hlch the amateurs stuck to the game In the pelting Tain. The ball was as heavy as a. 16-pound shot, and the maneuvers of the pitcher to put the ball over the plate -were the efforts of a track athlete struggling to break a world's record. The .ground resembled a football field more than anything else", and the dives of the Jrtayecs running to second base had the appearance of -daring tackles. While the misery was -going on the Stephens team, showed their ability with the stick by 3oundlng the heavy sphere for run after run. Towards -the end of the third Inning the rain was coming down so hard that the crowd sympathized with the efforts of Umpire 'Rankin to end the match. The ball would be heaved In the direction of the "batter. "'One .strike. would be the cheerful de cision of .Rankin. The batter would gesticulate -with his bst where the ball really went. Next time the performance would be the same. The batters then got onto the game, and either reached after the balls or fanned out gladly. At the end of the inning the game was called. Second Game Was Played Oat. Soon, how every tfie sun came out and shone over the blealc-looking grounds. There was not a glimmer of a hope of escaping the-rmtd, but--the .Fontellas and Vancouvers, rather than disappoint the public decided to play. And the game that "was put up considering the state of the field was gilt edged. Up to the fifth Inning the score was a tie, 3 to 2, and the teams were playing for all that was in them. The "Yellow Hammers," as the Vancouvers were called, from the yel low stripes on ther -blue suits, played good balk and made things interesting for the undefeated Fontellas, until the latter struck up their usual batting streak toward the close of the game. Jordan Zan "was the star of the day when it came to handling the long, heavy, black stick -with which he did his bat Iipg. Three "long three-baggers, one single to right field, and one base on balls were his record for the -day; when Zan came to the plaje the fielders moved their pins Out to the fence, but to no avail. Zan's hits each time scraped the paint off the bright new ads that embellish the fence. The other feature of the game was the neat fielding work of shortstop GIea6on and Second Baseman McDermott. and the catching of Harrison, of Vancouver. The inale -of -the -same was reached In a neat double play, Fleming catching Corey's pop fly and retiring Gleason at first. Corey scored for Vancouver in the first inning on "Whitehouse's muff, and Zan's wild throw to third. In the second, Van couver scored two or more runs. Stutt led off with a hit, and Shaw, was given his base. Stutt was advanced to another oasis In the waste of mud by Forsyth's scratch hit, which forced Shaw out at second. Forsyth stole second and the two scored on Harrison's hit to center. The Fontellas managed to score Rich Parrott in the third. He took his base on an error by Stutt .and reached third on the error of short in handling Black's easy grounder. Then Zan camp to the plate, with his- batting eye; sent out a clean two-base hit. and scored the run. The Fontellas filled the bases In the fifth with Black, Arch and Rich Parrott, the first two getting safe hits.1 Jacobs came to the bat. and .sent out a slow scratch hit to third that scored Black and Parrott in the confusion of throwing the ball all over the lot After that the game was easy sailing, with Zan's heavy hit ting, a two bagger by Jacobs, and Flem ing's steady pitching to pull out the game.

BELL, OP PORTLAND, KN TITLED TO HONOR. i Joined In Missouri In 1835 and Has Been a Member for Nearly Sixty-six Years. Colonel John Colgate Bell, the oldest Mason in Oregon, and one of r the oldest Masons in the United States, lives at 699 Flanders street. Although In his 87th years, he is a hale, hearty old gentleman after a life replete with stirring inci dents. He has been a Mason for 65 years and 11 months. It was in June, 1835, that Colonel Bell began his long Masonic career as a mem ber of Clarkvllle Lodge, No. 17, at Clark vllle. Mo. In 1844 he and Ben Holladay organized the Royal Arch Chapter, at "Weston, Mo. The same year Colonel Bell joined the Knights Templar, and In 1846 he was a member of the grand lodge that met at St. Louis and granted the dis pensation to Oregon City Lodge, No. l, A member named Spratt was entrusted with the task of taking the dispensation to Oregon, but at the last moment Spratt found he could not undertake the journey, and another member named Colville was selected. He and Captain Kellogg started across the plains with the dispensation in 1847, but on tha way the two Masons parted. Colville went to California, and Captain Kellogg proceeded to Oregon City with the dispensation for the or ganization of the new lodge. Colonel Bell Is one of the two survlng. charter mem bers of Multnomah Royal Arch Chapter, No. 1. organized at Salem, Or., in 1856, the other survivor being Dr. Bailey, of Newport, Or. So much for the Colonel's Interesting Masonic record. Colonel Bell was born at Mount Ster ling, Montgomery County, Ky., February 24, 1814. He comes of gallant Revolu tionary stock. His grandfather, who was born In Virginia, was one of the patriots who fought in the battle of Brandywine. Shortly before the War of 1812 broke out, the Bells moved into the State of Ken tucky, and a farm was taken at Mount Sterling, 30 miles east of Lexington. 'From here the Colonel's father, William Bell, marched away to fight the British. Colonel Bell started in life by engaging in the mercantile business at Mount Ster ling, and the family subsequently moved to Missouri about the year 1834, and bought a farm in Pike County, where Colonel Bell engaged In business with his Mo., and brought his-j, .family to Salem, X)r.. wh'ere he ODeneda oreneraK store. In 'January,-? 1855, hemoved to,Cofvallls, then b"ack to Salem.In .1886,'Presldent Cleve land appointed Colonel. Ben' Postmaster net's home until 1890, when he moved to Portland to enjoy his remaining days in rest and quiet. . . . Colonel Bell .married Miss Sarah E. Ward, a daughter of General -Thompson- ward, March 4, 1845,' the day Polk-was-Inaugurated President' of the United States ,and s'he and six children still com fort his days. p "What are my politics?", said -Colonel Bell to a reporter yesterday. "I knew Henry Clay .well, and, began as a Southern Whig. Then 'I was a Democrat, but, when- the Democracy set up Bryan and the silver issue, I couldn't stand it. I've voted" for McKlnley twice. I cast my first vbte for William Henry Harrison, In 1840." HEIER & FRANK COMPANY. ll MAIN STREET IMPROVEMENT Remonstraiors Desire .Settlement of Litigation Before Work Is Began. The remonstrators against the opening and improvement of Main street from Chapman to King' represent a frontage of 1624 feet, instead of 400 as has been stated. The petitioners represent a total of 876 feet. The remonstrators are: Mary W. Gaston, about 400 feet; M. tJ. Dam meler, 104 feet; estate of M. S. Burrell, 300 feet;fcN. A. King, 52 feet; N. M. Wood, 160 feet; Ellen Flanagan, 104 feet; Josephine Boyd, 104 feet; B. Wistar Morris, for the St. Helen's Hall block, 300 feet; J. L. Honeyman, agent, 100 feet. The remonstrance follows: "We, the aforesaid, respectfully re monstrate against any action to order improvement of said street until the liti gation still pending to determine the right to open said street through the Gaston tract has been fully settled, as we be- alieve any such action might complicate our rignts ana produce iurtner liiiga tion." Joseph Gaston, whose daughter owns the land through which the street Is to pass, said yesterday: "The men who came Thursday morning between 4 and 6 o'clock to cut down the trees were accompanied by a police man. When I asked him whether he represented the city, he said, 'no, that he simply had been ordered there by. the Chief of Police to protect the workman. His object In going there so early was simply to get the trees cut "down before we could get out an Injunction. They were authorized by the permit from the City Council to cut out abroad twelve feet wide. Instead they cut the trees TO ENTERTAIN VISITORS OrtTLANBUREADY-FOR- THE- OHIO -- ' AND INDIANA GUESTS.

C. BELL, OREGON'S OLDEST MASON. oo cousin in 1S35-36. When war broke out with Mexico in 1846, the soldierly Instinct awoke in Colonel Bell, and when he offeredhIs services to the Government he was ap pointed an aid to the Brigadier com manding Missouri infantry. Colonel Bell was ordered to report at Fort Leaven worth, Kan., where he helped to organ ize two regiments of militia, along with Colonel Donaphon and Major Mitchell, of St Louis. In 1S50 the far West fever burned in Colonel Bell's veins, and he left his store at Weston, Mo., In charge of his fam ily, and started on the long .trip over the plains to the Oregon country. In the Fall of that year he arrived at The Dalles, where he opened a sutler's store for troops at The Dalles and Vancouver. Next Spring he organized a pack train from Salem to Yreka, Cal., and he was also one of the resolute band who, under Major Harney, routed the Rogue River In dians. In 1S52 Colonel Bell crossed the plains on horseback in company with "William. Mackle, on a return trip to Missouri. Two years later he sold his store at Weston, down for a space sixty feet wide, and broke down treees on other property. Air we wanted was the courts to settle the matter, and while it was In litigation we. aiu nui want' me uilj' .u piuvccu mm the, improvement. Thepartles signing the remonstrance also hady their money at" stake, and they took the same view of it." LOW EXCURSION RATES. May 30th and June 7th the Northern Pacific Railway Company will sel excur sion tickets to St. Paul, Omaha, St Jo sepht Kansas City and other Missouri River points and return at ?60 00 on ac count of the meetings of the Medical As sociation and Modern Woodmen at St Paul.

A solution of the difficulty as to what shall be done with the funds raised for the entertainment of President McKinley and his party In Portland has been af forded by representatives of commercial organizations. It Is suggested that the money subscribed be used to entertain the Ohio and Indiana Congressmen who are to visit Portland tomorrow and Wed nesday, and the river and harbor commit tee, which will be .here later. It Is proposed to take these visitors to The' Dalles; show them the possibilities of the Columbia River, and the jetty at the river's mouth, and give a practical object lesson showing the necessities of Oregon In the way of river and harbor appropriations. .Almost every subscriber to the entertainment fund of the Presi dential party, so far .as seen by the com mittee In charge, cheerfully turned over his subscription to welcome the Congress men, thinking the visit of these gentlemen Is of great Importance to' the State of Oregon. The general committee on arrangements for the Ohio Congressional delegation met at the Commercial Club yesterday. Reports of the finance committee snowea that the funds subscribed for the enter tainment of the .Presidential- party could be used to entertain the Ohio delegation, as nearly every one who had subscribed was willing that It should, be diverted to this end, and In many Instances offered a further amount, should it be required. The finance committee will finish the can vass of subscribers today and there Is no doubt that the necessary funds will be forthcoming In a sufficient amount to enable Portland to ' make fitting enter tainment for her guests. The Intention Is, so far as can be ar ranged at this time, to take the party On their arrival here tomorrow morning through to Celllo. Only two days are al lotted Portland, but every hour will be used' to the best advantage. On the ar rival of the party and their friends at The Dalles they will be served wnn a lunch by the citizens there. A stop of one hour only -will be madefor rest and refreshments, followed by an inspection of the interests in that vicinity. The journey will then be resumed to Celllo, where the Improvements under Govern mental control will' be examined. The next- point will be the Cascade Locks, where a boat will be boarded, and a ride through the new locks will give the party a proper Idea as to the manner m .wnicn Uncle Sam's money Is being expended. , Next will be a trip down the Columbia River and up the Willamette to Port land, at which latter point the party, it is expected, will arrive at 4:30 P. M. On'the return of the party to Portland, "carriages will be In waiting for a drive about the city. The vanouB manuiaciur Ing plants, wholesale district; residence portion, Portland Heights and that which is of the greatest Importance the busy port of Portland will be visited. The drive over, the party will be turned over to Manager Bowers, of the Hotel Portland, who will serve them wlth'a spe cial private dinner, glveh only to" the Congressional party and the ladles. Din ger served, and the party rested, a gen eral reception wllltbe tendered them in the hotel parlors under the auspices of the Ohio Society of Oregon. To the end- that the comforts and welfare of the visitors cHU -h assured, the following have been appointed a reception committee to be in attendance at the reception: Judge Geqree. Judge Cake. P.ET. Ward. John F. Caples, Dr. Emmet Drake, Dr. TV. M. Cake. S?:. H. R. Clark, J. A. Strow brldge, Richard Williams, Hon. C. M. Idleman, James Steel, George A. Steel, Rev. Dr. Kellogg, A. F.

Bodman. This reception will not, In any sense, be an exclusive affair. It Is expected that all will avail themselves of the oppor tunity of meeting the party. Those wish ing to atiend are asked not to wait until they get a special personal Invitation, as the time, left is too short to send invi tations .individually. "VVednesday morning an early start will be made, and a trip to Astoria by boat will be the feature. Astoria will be reached at noon, when an Inspection or the canneries will be made and a salmon lunch served by the citizens of that place. After lunch the train will take the party to one of the greatest jetties In the world. her home on East Sixth and East Burn side streets. She was taken ill soon after the death of her son Frank.

VICTORY FOR SETTLERS SOUTHERN PACIFIC LOSES TITLE TO 300,000 ACRES. Circuit Court of Appeals Decide Against Oregon & California Railroad in Land Cases. Charles J. Schnabel was made happy yesterday by receiving a card from F. D. Monckton, Clerk of the United Status Circuit Court of Appeals at San Fran cisco, Informing him that an opinion was filed In that court on May 16 in. caseu 639, 640 and 641 the Oregon & California. Railroad Company vs. the United State ex rel. In which the judgment of tha lower court In each case was affirmed. These cases were brought by Mr. Schna bel in the United States Court here in behalf of 29 settlers on Indemnity lands' In this etate, whose claims were filed on by the Oregon & California Railroad Com pany, involving, In all, 300,000 acres In tha Roseburg land district. Mr. Schnabel 3 cause for rejoicing in this matter Is that his contingent fees In the cases- amount to $8000. The railroad company set up tha not only the place limits of Its grant 20 miles on each side of the O. & C. RJm. line were reserved to it, but that the indemnity lands were also reserved to tt from which to complete its selections, &nd that no one had a rltrht to locate nrt L. Crane, i such lands until the comnanv had com. pietea tts selections, ane seiners inter, ested In these cases located on the In demnlty lands before they were set apart as such. Some of them had been there many years, and had made extensive Im provements, and were waiting for tha lands tb be surveyed in order to file on them. The Court of Appeals has decided that these lieu or indemnity lands were not public lands and so not open to be llied on by settlers. In the cases above mentioned. Judge Bellinger decided that the settlers on these lieu lands had a prior right to their claims, and ordered the filings of the railroad company to be canceled.
