The professional baseball season -will be
formally opened In Portland this afternoon
vrhen Sammy Vlgneux and his colleagues
will cross bats with Flannery's aggrega
tion from Helena. The local lacs have
long been looking forward to this day and
they will be on hand, rain or shine, when
"Umpire Bert Cunningham gives orders
for the battle to begin. Last year the
llgures showed that Portland was the best
baseball town in the Northwest, and from
the Interest manifested in the sport this
season, there is every reason to believe
that "this man's town" will continue In
the lead.
The Portland men arrived home from
Spokane last evening, and are In good
trim for today's game. They say that
only the hardest kind of luck prevented
them from winning three out of five
frames from Jack Grlm's cohorts. Cor
"bett, who filled Lou Mahaffey's place at
first, was, largely responsible for the de-
feats of Saturday and Sunday, and Wit
beck's injured finger prevented accurate
pitching in several of the games. When
seen last evening, Manager Vlgneux said:
"Our team was -not in good trim at 6po
Itane, else we would have shown Grim
and his followers a thing or two. That
we can play ball was demonstrated at
Tacoma and In the first game at Spokane.
In these games our boys were In good
form, but when Lou Mahaffey got hurt,
they lost their nerve, for Corbett played
wretchedly on first, Engle Is the same
consistent player as of old, and Wltbeck
and Mahaffey are showing up well in the
box. In one game at Spokane Wltbeck
pitched for five Innings before he was hit.
Our team is 'even up,' and I am more
than satisfied with the outlook."
The Helena players arrived yesterday
afternoon and are at the Imperial. The
team was greatly handicapped In the Ta
coma series, owing to the Illness of Pitch
er Hartwell, who will appear on the slab
today. The team contains some big, strap
ping fellows, who look like ball players,
and Manager Flannery says that they are
all in good shape. A number of baseball
fans called on the visitors last evening,
while the Portland players were kept
busy telling their friends about the ups
and downs of the trip.
President W. H. Lucas says that the
outlook for good baseball was never bet
ter, and that the affairs of the league
are running along nicely. The games at
Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane were pat
ronized in a liberal manner, and Mr. Lucas
predicts similar conditions in the other
cities.
Rovr in Butte.
The Butte papers have kicked up a tem
pest In a teapot because President W. H.
Lucas, of the Pacific Northwest Baseball
League, fined "Honest John" McCloskey
and one of his players for ungentlemanly
conduct In the game at Seattle last Tues
day. The journalists of the "Smoky City"
charge Mr. Lucas with nearly every of
fense on the calendar except horse steal
ing. As a matter of fact, the league
president was amply justified In his ac
tion. He has proved a capable and Just
man for his position, as his Impartial
actions have always demonstrated.

A LIVE OREGON EDITOR.
Albert Tozler Talks of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition.
Charleston News and Courier.
Albert Tozler, of Portland, Or., returned
from Washington, D. C, yesterday, and
is spending a few days viewing historical
Charleston and the exposition.
Mr. Tozler is president of the National
Editorial Association, and came here with
the members of that body from Hot
Springs. In speaking of the exposition
Mr. Tozler said:
"I consider It a wonderful and magnifi
cent production and achievement, consid
ering the conditions of Charleston. Hav
ing visited every exposition of the past
25 years, I can truthfully say that you of
Charleston can well feel proud of the re
sults. Should you lose financially, let not
your discouragement overshadow the fu
ture advantages which are sure to come.
There Is no doubt In my mind, from all I
have heard In traveling over the United
States, and from what it has been my
own pleasure to note, that the Charleston
Exposition could never have accomplished
such grand results or had its fame sung
so far-reaching or in 6Uch beautiful strains
if it had not been for the noble women
of South Carolina."
Mr. Tozler said many more complimen
tary things of the Women's Board, and
remarked that they had beaten all rec
ords of a like nature at previous expo
sitions. In speaking of the Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial, to be held at Portland, Or., in
1905, Mr. Tozier continued: "Our North
west Is a country of vast and unlimited
opportunities. It required some 30 years
i to pass, after the Government expedition
was sent out by Thomas Jefferson to ex
plore the country of the Northwest, before
much of an immigration started In earnest.
Lewis and Clark landed at the mouth of
the Columbia In the Fall of 1805. Our
country Is blessed with natural water
ways, winding through hills and valleys
and on to the open sea. Solid roadbeds,
timber and other facilities make railway
building easy and the country accessible
to all lines of trade and Industry. As to
our resources, they are unexcelled by any
country In the world. Our display at the
Charleston Exposition Is only a email
sample. There are many resources and
enterprises now in their Infancy only
waiting for capital and labor which will
bring results 'undreamed of to the In
vestor. Our Exposition In 1905 will cele
brate the 100th anniversary of the Lewis
and Clark expedition. In our great North
west we have never considered expositions
fads or overdone. On the other hand, we
have looked upon them as the best edu
cators of the day, where the thoughtful
visitor has an unlimited chance to study
the best productions of all states and
countries. Realizing this to be the fact,
Oregon, the progressive pusher, has ever
been one of the first to answer to the roll
call' when an exposition has sounded the
bugle-call. We 6teer Into port with all
sails flying and loaded to the guards. Be
sides sending products, tho personnel of
our ship is composed of people whose
hearts link and work In unison with their
hosts. The good things that Oregon's
Commissioners have to say of Charleston
and the Exposition Board would fill books.
Now the time has come," said Mr. To
zler, "when we ask the Soutluto come to
far-away Oregon. Come with your cotton,
rice, tobacco and tropical fruits and Join
in the attractiveness of our Exposition.
We want your products and we want
your people. The social side of our
United States is one of vast importance.
Each year we grow nearer and fonder
one to the other, and friendly relations
combine more favorable commercial In
terests. Our Western advancement has
been such during the past few years that
we Invite the world to come and join in
the mighty march of progress."
Mr. Tozler is probably one of the best
known newspaper men in the United
States. He was one of the organizers of
the National Editorial Association 16
years ago. He has never missed a ses
sion, has -passed each chair and la now
president of that great body. He Is also
a member of the International League
of Press Clubs. Extracts from his pen
are read dally all over the United States.
Wherever he travels he is saying a good
word for Oregon. On his way from Ore
gon to the East his traveling compan
ions say he talked Oregon's 1905 Exposi
tion from the car platform at every sta
tion from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and
flooded the listeners with literature. He
Is a worker, and his popularity with the
newspaper people of the United States
gives Oregon great advantages In the
matter of advertising the Lewis and
Clark Centennial, and this Exposition has
already been booked as one of the suc
cessful ones of the future.

THE TIE-UP IS COMPLETE
STRIKE OF ANTHRACITE COAL
MINERS IS ON.
Indications Are That the Hazleton
Convention "Wednesday "Will Vote
to Make it Permanent.
PHILADELPHIA, May 12. MIneworkers
throughout the entire anthracite regions
of Pennsylvania to the number of 145,000
began their struggle today for Increased
wages and shorter hours. Never In the
history of hard coal mining has a tie-up
been so complete: not one of the 357 col
lieries In the territory being In operation.
There Is every Indication for the belief
that the suspension, which was to cover
only the first three days of this week, will
be made permanent by the miners' general
convention, which will meet at Hazleton
Wednesday. Absolute quiet prevailed
everywhere.
In pursuance of the request of the dis
trict executive boards, which met Jointly,
at Scranton last week, all the local unions
throughout the region met during the day
and evening and elected delegates to the
Hazleton convention. It Is significant that
In every Issue where the vote of a "local"
became public, the ballot showed a de
cided majority for a permanent strike

unless the operators grant concessions.
Predictions are made that if it is de
cided Wednesday to continue the strike,
the struggle will be longer and more bit
ter than was that of 1900, which lasted
six weeks.
The coal companies In various parts of
the region have already made prepara
tions for a siege. Coal train crews, tele
graph operators, switchmen, carpenters,
machinists and other employees, number
ing several thousand, not Identified with
the mlneworkers union, have been- laid
off until further notice. Some of the com
panies have also brought their mules to
the surface and placed them In pasture.
President Mitchell spent a busy day at
his headquarters. He was In close com
munication with all the district leaders,
and exprersed himself as well satisfied
with the way the men responded to the
'call for suspension of work. He will leave
for Hazleton tomorrow afternoon.
.me Lehigh Valley Railroad laid off 10
coal train crews today. The Central Rail
road of New Jersey also laid off a number
of crews. The Lackawanna Railroad will
suspend a number of crews tomorrow, and
the Delaware & Hudson crews expect to
be suspended tomorrow. Next to the
miners, the railroaders will suffer most by
the strike. In Scranton alone 300 railroad
men will be laid off.
Both Sides Are Determined.
SCRANTON, Pa., May 12. President
Mitchell, of the United MIneworkers,
stated this morning that the tie-up In the
three anthracite districts Is complete.
Approximately 140,000 men and boys are
Idle.
An official of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western Railroad Company said today
that that corporation had no intention of
resorting to a lockout.
"We do not lnterid to Irritate the men,
and other companies are of the same
mind," he added. "The situation is now
In tho hands of the miners. After Wed
nesday it will be In our hands. We ap
preciate the fact that John Mitchell docs
not want a strike. Neither do the com
panies. While we do not want a fight,
we will give the men all the fight they
desire If they decide that there Is to be
one."
From the same official source comes the
announcement that the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western Company has stopped
selling coal. Not a carload has been
shipped since Saturday. Any order must
now be approved by the head of the coal
department before being filled The oth
er companies have taken similar action,
and It Is believed a coal famine will speed
ily result If the suspension Is made per
manent on Wednesday.
A number of locals met this morning
and Instructed their delegates to favor a
strike; but, despite this action, there Is a
growing belief that this district will be
considerably divided on the strike Issue.
May Agree to Arbitrate.
NEW YORK. May 12. Ralph M. Easley,
secretary of the Civic Federation, returned
to the city today, nnd while he would not
say what the object of his trip had been,
said that the federation Is in close touch
with the situation, and there still is al
possibility of the operators agreeing to
the arbitration proposal of the miners.
He seemed firm in the belief that unless
the operators grant some concessions toj
the men before Wednesday morning, a
strike that may involve the 300.000 bitumi
nous workers, and that may result In a
tie-up of one or more of the coal roads,
will result.
Foreigners Take n Vacation.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., May 12. Every
mine In the Wyoming Valley wis Idle
today. Should a strike bo ordered by
the Hizleton convention, the men now
at work keeping the mines from being
flooded, expect to be called out. Somr
of the engineers may not obey the order
but there Is no question but the firemen
and pump runners will.
The foreign element look for a long
strike, and today the steamship and
.railroad officers were crowded with Hun-
garlms, Poles and Italians.
Many are going to Pittsburg. Cleveland
and other Iron centers, to seek work In
the mills. Others will take a trip to their
native land and return when tho strike

the three days' suspension ordered bv
the Scranton convention.
Strikes at Denver.
DENVER, May 12. Eight hundred men
are now on strike In Denver. Six large
unions are Involved, The lumber yards,
'wood-working mills and the livery stab
les are completely tied up, while many
bakeries are practically closed, owing to
the strike of bikers, which began yester
day. The organizations on strike, with
the number of men out, are as follows;
Woodcutters, 300; lumbermen, 150; stable
men, 130; bakers, 110; machinists. 65; team
drivers, 25. The carpenters and other
building crafts will be without materials
to work on by Wednesday. There is a
possibility that the grocery clerks will
be drawn to the support of the union
bikers, if the retail grocers attempt to
handle "unfair" bread.

DENVER, May 12. The fight between

BRADY TELLS ITS NEEDS.
Alaska "Would Profit Most by Exten
sion of Land Lavrs.
8ALEM. May 12. Governor John R.
Brady, of Alaska, accompanied by his two
youngest daughters, left tonight for Cali
fornia, after a visit with Dr. J. F. Cal
breath, superintendent of the Asylum.
Speaking of conditions In Alaska, Gov
ernor Brady said:
"With the general land laws extended
to Alaska, that country will become the
great territory that Its natural conditions
fully warrant."
Under existing land laws In Alaska, In
dividuals cannot acquire title to desirable
land for homes from the Government. The
laws are so Illiberal that citizens accus
tomed to the laws of Oregon and Wash
ington will not go to Alaska In quest of
homes.
"Land at the head waters of CQPper
River Is suitable for stockralsing and
farming," said the Governor. "I predict
that the country will all be taken up and
developed when the laws are modified."
Governor Brady Is of the opinion that
Alaska and her Interests have been ser
iously neglected In the matter of needed
legislation, and he believes when the ter
ritories of the United States proper have
been admitted to statehood, Alaska will
be accorded like rights. A portlqn of the
Alaskan people desire a territorial form
of government, but Governor Brady does
not consider this feasible, since there are
no homes, or established settlements, and
for the maintenance of such a government
the mining and fishing interests would
have to be unduly taxed. He says the first
step necessary for the organization of a
territorial or other form of government Is
for the United States Government to
make possible 'the securing of land titles
by homeseekers, and then a government
can be formed with actual settlers.
Governor Brady reports thAt the Alas
kan fishing Industry Is expanding annual
ly, the salmon catch for last year repre
senting between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000, or
equaling the estimated gold production of
that country for the same period. The
Governor says, however, that unless the
Government takes steps to prqvlde for
the propagation of salmon and other fish,
the streams within a few yean will
be practically depleted. Some of the can
nerymen are operating hatcheries of their
own, with a view to replenishing the
streams, but Governor Bradys thinks the
practice Is wrong, since they will even
tually demand a monopoly of the fishing
Industry of that country. Cannerymen are
willing to be taxed to aid the Government
In defraying the expense of operating
hatcheries. Halibut, cod and herring
abound in great numbers on the Alaskan
Coast.
Halibut Is becoming a popular
fish, and of this variety, Alaska has about
125,000 square miles of fishing grounds.
Oregon has the contract for caring for
the Insane of Alaska at J20 per month, and
there are now 14 of these unfortunates re
ceiving treatment at the Salem Institu
tion. The question of providing transpor
tation for the return to Alaska of dis
charged patients was discussed by Gov
ernor Brady and. Superintendent Calbreath
and steps will be taken to secure the Im
mediate correction of the matter. Under
the contract for the treatment of pa
tients, the Government agrees to furnish
discharged patients with transportation
to their homes, but the fund for that pur
pose has not yet been made available, and
the Department of the Interior will be
asked to adjust the matter at once. The
State of Oregon has advanced the money
to defray the expense of transportation
to Alaska of the few patients that have
been discharged, and will expect to be
reimbursed by the Government.

JOE GANS IS CHAMPION
KNOCKS OUT FRANK ERNE IN THE
FIRST ROUND.
White Man and His Friends Dazed
by' His Quick Defeat Other
Sporting News.
FORT ERIE, Ont, May 12. Joe Gans,
the Baltimore colored lightweight pugi
list. Is champion in his class, after
knocking at the door for the past 10 years.
Frank Erne lost to him In the first round
tonight at Fort Erie. The end came with
a startling suddenness. The men were
scarcely warmed up when Gans, trying
cautiously, caught Erne napping and
landed a hard right on the ear which ap
peared to jar Frank badly. Erne sparred
wildly and Gans sent out a left jab as a
feeler. Jt went home through Erne's
guard, drawing blood from his nose. Then
Gans rushed In. Erne's defense was piti
ably weak, and Gans slapped left to the
face and right to the point of the jaw.
The blow completely settled Erne. He
sank slowly to the floor, fell on his back
and was rolling over on his stomach
when Referee White finished counting
him out. The quick defeat astounded the
hundreds of Erne men at the ringside.
The Hereford party was overwhelming
with congratulations and a crowd of
negroes proudly escorted Gans to his
dres!ng-room.
"Of course," he hald, "I did not expect
to win so quickly, but I believe the end
would have been the same had the fight
gone much farther."
Hereford said he would defend the light
weight championship at the lightweight
limit. Erne was broken hearted over the
defeat. It took a minute to bring him
back from dreamland, and there were
tears In his eyes when he realized his
defeat. x
There was scarcely a seat in the house
vacant, which has a seating capacity of
5000 There was much betting on the bout,
several thousand dollars being placed,
with Erne favorite at 100 to 90 and 100
to 80.
Gans entered the ring at 9:20, followed
a few minutes later by Erne. Gans
crossed the. ring and shook hands with
Erne, who got a great ovation. Art
Sims, Kid Parker, George McFadden, Kid
McPartland, and all the best lightweights
of the country challenged the winner.
Young Peter Jackson and Al Weinlg en
tered the ring, challenged each other and
were matched to box at Fort Erie In the
near future.
Both men wore bandages on their hands
and both seemed In fine form. It was
announced that Gans weighed in at 1334
and Erne at 1324- The weight for the
bout was 136 pounds at the ringside. The
men shook hands at 9:49.
Round 1. They came out and sparred
briskly. Gans led hfs left for the face
twice and missed. Gans led with both
hands for the face. Erne ducked and they
cinched. Again Gans tried the left. Gans
sidestepped and a slight mlxup followed,
Gans having the better of the bout. Gans
sent a right to the Jaw. In the exchange,

Copper-Plated Doors.
Engineering.
It Is reported that a process of covering
wooden doors with sheet metal by means
of electrolysis Is now being experimented
with at Bridgeport, Conn. The excellent
flre-reslstlng qualities of a wooden door
covered with tin-plate have iong been rec
ognized, since the metal covering prevents
the wood taking fire, while the use of
wood for the framing avoids any risk of
the warping of the door by heat, allowing
flames to pass through, as has happened
with doors built wholly of Iron. A tin
plate covered door has, however, a poor
appearance, and Is therefore suitable only
for workshops and warehouses. By de
positing copper or bronze electrolytlcally
It Is hoped to produce doors suitable for
buildings of all kinds. The method fol
lowed Is to place the carefully fiqlshed
wooden door In a hot solution of fossil
gum In linseed oil. This completely closes
the pores of the wood with an Impervious
varnish, so that on transferring the door
to the electrolytic bath the solutions are
not absorbed. On removal from, the var
nishing bath the edges of the door are
bound with sheet copper fixed by cement,
and the rest of the door is then covered
with a conducting layer of bronze powder,
after which the whole is placed In an elec
trolytic bath and copper deposited over
the whole surface.
