SEATTLE, Sept. 8. (Special.) Engle
was steady today, and he was given great
support in the field. Tom Kelly, on tne
other hand, was so wild that he had the
bases loaded all the time up to the fifth
lnnlnir. and errors at critical moments by
himself and the men behind him enabled
Portland to chase four unearned runs
over the plate. Engle did not issue a sln
ele oass. and Seattle had to earn the
three runs they made. Portland scored a
pair of runs in the fourth on a oase on
balls to Harris, a sacrifice by Deisel. En
gle tried to bunt, and Klopf allowed the
ball to roll out a hit to left, scoring Har
ris, and on Dalrymple's wild throw En
gle came home. Portland got two more
In the fifth, which proved enough to win
the game, ater two men were out. An
derson led off with a hit, and when Weed
tried to sacrifice Kelly threw away over
Campbell's head, trying to catch Ander
son. Vigneux popped up a foul to Klopf,
Babbitt fumbled Muller's grounder, and
the bases were full. The situation was
too much for Harris, so he struck out.
Deisel hit a little fly back of first base
that Stovall dropped, allowing two runs
to score. Muller tried to come all the
way home on the error from first, but
Campbell got the ball, and by a perfect
throw to Stanley nailed Muller at the
plate.
Seattle got a run in tne fourth on a
double by Stovall, and singles by Klopf
and Hurley. They annexed another pair
in the fifth on a single by Stanley, a dou
ble by Kelly and Babbitt's single over
second that Anderson got one hand on.
but could not stop. A sensational one
handed catch by Anderson and the catch
of a line-drive-by Harris were the fielding
features. Seattle has signed Kid Hulen
to play second base for the balance of the
season, and he will report to Dugdale at
Portland Tuesday or Wednesday.

LA GRANDE NINE DISBANDS.
Because It Tliousrlit Walla Walla
Had Thrown Up the Sponge.
WALLA WALLA, Sept. 8. A telephone
message to the Union from La Grande an
nounces that the Inland Empire baseball
team in that city was disbanded tonight.
The reason given Is that tho La Grande
management thought Walla. Walla would
quit and that it did not desire to lese
money attempting tp finish the season
with only three clubs in the organization.
The story that Walla Walla was even
thinking of giving up ia without founda
tion. The management would have glad
ly finished out the season and may do so
anyway.
In an Interview over the telephone,
Manager Ray, of La Grande, said: "I
heard that Walla Walla had thrown up
the sponge and, so disbanded my team.
I did not even take time to call them up
and see if it was true. I just Quit." "
Other managers in the league have not
been heard from. There were twelve more
games to be played in the league series
and La Grande was to have opened here
Thurpday. What will be the outcome is
not known. By disbanding before the
end of the season the La Grande team
forfeited J260, which sum had been posted
by each team that it would complete the
schedule.
LIPTON'S CHALLENGE DUE SOON.
He Is the Same Old Sport as Ever,
Willing to Give Way )to Others.
ROTHESAY, Scotland. Sept. 8. In an
interview here today with a representa
tive of the Associated Press Sir Thomas
Lipton informed the latter that he would
mall a formal challenge for the Ameri
ca's cup to the New York Yacht Club
within two or possibly three weeks. If,
however, in the meantime any British
yachtsmen or combination of yachtsmen
challenge, they would have his cordial as
sistance and the use of the Shamrock II
as a trial boat absolutely free of cost. Sir
Thomas Lipton added that the stories
about his new boat being already half
built were false.
Americans Bendy to Defend Cup.
NEW YORK, Sept. 8. Members of the
New York Yacht Club were not surprised
at the receipt of the' news that Sir Thomas
Lipton was almost ready to challenge
again. W. Butler Duncan. Jr.. manager
the Constitution in her races with
Shamrock- II. said men who would be
called upon to defend the cup were not
particularly pleased with the prospect,
but they would defend the cup to the best
of their ability. J. Fred Tarns, for many
years a member of the America's cup com
mittee, said he wa glad to know that the
matter would soon oe settled, but the club
would take no action on the subject nor
ony steps toward building until the actual
challenge was at hand.
HILL-CLIMBING AUTO CONTEST.
Forty-Horsepower Machine Makes

Enfrlishmnn Proven Too Muph for

LONDON. Sept 8. Pedlar Palmer de
feated George Dixon, American, In a 15
round bout at the National Athletic Club
tonight. Dixon was the favorite at odds
of 5 to 4, but after the second round
Palmer showed such smartness that the
odds turned in his favor. Dixon seemed
quite unable to cope with the English
man, and appeared to have lost much of
his old-time hitting power. The weight
limit was 120 pounds. Harry Ware re
tained the bantam-weight championship

ANZELLA, A GREAT MARE
FINE EASTERN RECORD OP THE
DAYTON, WASH., TROTTER.
Wins the Finest and Gnmest Race of
the Year, and Is in th.e
First Rank.
George Kelly, formerly of Dayton,
Wash., but now of Pleasanton, Cal. little
knew what a prize he lost when he sold
Anzella. Kelly "changed hands" for the
horse for $4000, and the mare has won
more than her purchase price since. Of
her late work, the Kentucky Stock Farm
says:
"Just how great a mare Anzella is can
best be appreciated by a review of the
great racea of the past, and while it is
true that the time test is not the crucial
one. it is the one by which the capacity
of a trotter is usually gauged. The Monk
showed his capacity at Detroit and con
tinually winning had established himself
among the very front rank of trotters,
yet this mare fairly out-stayed him and

Fair.
beat him on his merits, trotting the most
remarkable race of any mare that has
been seen foi years. A contender in the
first two heats, she wore out The Monk
and won by virtue of her tremendous
gameness and rare staying powers. Had
she been reserved In the first two heats,
her victory would not have been so mer
.Itorious, but as she contested every Inch
of her ground from the time the word
was given in the first heat until the race
was over, she fairly earned her laurels.
"When one stops to consider mat mis
race compares favorably as regards the
time of the first four heats with those
of the race in which Cresceus defeated
Charley Herr and others at Readvllle in
the stallion race, some Idea of the ca
pacity of the horses can be had. Such
time as was made requires a great effort
on the part of the contenders; It is the
mm that kills, and to live through such
a pace and continue their best speed M
stamps both The Monk ana Anzena aa
extremely high class trotters. Lord Der
by in all his caref r has not trotted such
a race, although he doubtless could have
done so on at least one occasion, namely,
the race at the Empire City track. In
which he founded his reputation; nor has
Boralma ever duplicated this contest, al
though he has been a participant in many
brilliant races. It was not alone the fact
that the time was very fast hut rather
because nearly every foot of the Journey
was a contest that makes these two trot
ters stand out so conspicuously, for while
It has been possible for other trotters to
work miles correspondingly fast the fact
that there was a game trotter at the
throat-latch of each contender makes tho
task a more difficult one, and nothing
fjhort of the highest class can endure such
a strain. While The Monk was defeated,
he was glorious in his defeat, as It is un
questionably true that he has i suffered
during his career hardships and misfor
tunes that the mare has escaped. The
Monk has been in his life a cripple; he
has been raced continuously, and may
now feel the effects of his work. His
owner has been free In his assertions that
the horse has not recovered entirely from
a slight cold.- Yet. with all that can be
said by way of apology for the gelding,
nothing must be said to detract one whit
from the stunning performance or me
mare. Her victory' was clean-cut and en
tirely free from even a semblance of
sharp practice. She raced with The
Monk, contesting every inch of the
ground, and finally won by reason of her
superiority. She out-lasted him and out
stayed him, and at the finish, out-trotted
him. and consequently she deserves the
greatest credit for her superb perform
ance. "This race, both from a spectacular
standpoint and as an exhibition of speed
and" gameness, outranks any other of this
year. It came as a reiresning cnange
from the series of Irregular races that
have been seen through the Grand Cir
cuit In it no heats were laid up by the
winners, the best horse won, and thus far
In the season's racing this is a bright
example of fair and clean-cut racing be
tween two horses very evenly matched,
the victory of each not being apparent un
til tho race was at an end. Anzella comes
rightly by her gamenessu Her grandslre,
Aberdeen, was himself out of one, of the
most wonderfully enduring mares ever
seen, and his get were uniformly game,
and Anzella, having such an inheritance,
as well as possessing such a tremendous
flight of speed, should have before her a
very bright future, if, indeed, she does
not become a champion."

at the regular session next January, the
state at large would not suffer for want
of general legislation.
"As a rule. It is only the Inexperienced
member or the legislative quack who
goes to Salem with' a pocket full of bills
designed to cure all the Ills to which the
state Is heir. The duties of a legislator
do not consist wholly or largely in
Introducing bills. If more time were
spent by the members In "posting them
selves on the business of the state, and
on the details of the management of its
institutions, and In efforts to stop the
petty leaks, as can be done under exist
ing laws, and Ice time were 3pent In at
tempts to amend the constitution and
statutes, the state would be a great
gainer.
Unfortunately, this quiet, unostenta
tious work is tiresome and uninteresting,
and does ndt make much of an impres
sion on the minds of the 'dear people at
home. So the average legislator prefers
to get In as many clerks as he can
from among his friends to investigate
the various institutions of the state, ana
introduce as many bills for 'reform as
possible, because those things are easier
done and sound better when read in tne
Long Tom Clarion.' But you asked me
what bills L Intend to Introduce, not tor
my opinion on the duty 6f legislators.
"I have no bills formulated yet, ana
nothing very important In mind. I think
some amendments may be made to the
law regulating .Legislative clerkships,
making it. more satisfactory and effective.
I shall probably try my hand at that
again.
"I am convinced that all necessary re
forms In the State Printer's office may
be effected without change in the consti
tution, or In the general plan of conduct
ing that office. I think we shall find that
laws nassed at the last session of the
Legislature have cut off most of the ex
cessive emoluments of that office. The
present Secretary of State has established
certain rules as to measurement of the
printer's work and as to purchase and
delivery of stock to that official that ef
feet a good saving to the state. To pre
vent future officers from lapsing Into the
old methods, these 'rules' ought to be
enacted into lows. If some one else does
not Introduce a bill covering this point I
will.
"This reminds me of the proposition for
flat salaries for" state officers. I suppose
a flood of bills will be introduced on that
subject I do not expect to have any bills
to that effect No saving to the state
will "be effected by such legislation. The
pre-election talk In favor of this propo
sition was largely by those not familiar
with the facts, or by those who wished to
make political capital of it
"Service for three sessions as chairman
or member of" fhe committee on ways and
means compelled me to familiarize myself
with all the details of expenditures In the
state office?. I must say that the busi
ness of these offices' Is conducted In
careful and economical manner. The cost
to the state of the offices of Governor, Sec
retary of State, Treasurer and School
Superintendent cannot be materially re
duced. No useless clerks are employed
no unnecessary office expenses are in
curred and the compensation paid to these
officers by the state Is not out ot propor
tion to the service rendered. A compart
son of our expenses for this purpose with
that of other states of like population will
place Oregon in a very favorable light.
"School legislation, which has taken
much of the time of the past three ses
slons, will not need much attention next
Winter. The new school code, the text
book law and the high school laws seem
to have met the expectation of their
friends, and will need but little If any
change.
"I have not given much attention to
assessment, and taxation legislation, but
there will doubtless be a strong demand
for a change 4n our present assessment
law. The premium and penalty on pay
ment of taxes are both too high. But as
this class of legislation Is supposed to
originate In the House, I shall propose no
bills on the subject"
Representative L. T. Harris stated that
he had formulated no bills. "I do not be
Have," .said he, "the state Is in need of
any great amount of general legislation
and I think I shall have few bills to in
troduce. When I went down to the last
seesion I had no bills prepared, and may
hot have this time."
"There are two laws, however, which
I hope to see amended so as to meet the
demar.'s of the people. The first of these
Is the new law relative to the collection
of taxes, bounty for prompt payment
and penalty for delinquency. I think the
present penalty for delinquency Is exces
sive and should be reduced."
Mr. Harris Is deeply Interested In the
matter of good roads, and. while he has
no bill of his own for the betterment
of the Oregon road laws, he hopes to
see bills Introduced, and that a law will
be passbd which will work for the best
Interests of public Jiighways. Mr. Harris
is not only a road enthusiast, but the
county which he represents Is also one
of the foremost in the state in the matter
of road Improvement
J. M. Shelley states that his most im
portant measure will be one requiring
warehouse men to protect their -patrons
from loss. He will see that such a bill
Is Introduced, and will support It with
all his might Mr. Shelley is one of the
owners of the Eugene flouring mills, and
does a warehouse business. In this line
he has had occasion to observe how great
a risk has been taken by farmers when
they have, as has been proven repeated
ly, deposited their wheat in a warehouse
without any safeguard, financially or oth
erwise. A number of warehouse men In
this state have gotten Into difficulty, and
when it came to delivering the wheat for
which they were responsible they have
not been able to" do It, and the farmer
has been the loser. Mr. Shelley wants a
law requiring any person doing-a ware
; house business in the state to deposit
with the Secretary of State a good and
sufficient bond. I
When asked his position on the prop
osition of placing all state officers on. a
flat salary, Mr. Shelley said: "Of course
I will support such a measure. It is
nothing but right, and has long been
In demand."
Senator R. A. Booth is out of the city,
but It Is generally understood that he
will have few bills of his own, and will
support what he sees good in' measures
presented by others.

which in no event is to be leas than 6
cents per p:und. and will also execute and
deliver unto the fisherman a bond, to be
approved by at least five of our said rep-
resentatlve.s. and in the sum of at least ;
00, lalthf Jlly to keep and perform such
agreement, which agreement Is also to
provide that the fisherman will sell and
deliver unto the bidder all salmon caught

cept, and that 30 per cent of the purchase

MANAGER THE OLD ST. LOUIS DIS PENSAR1
Cor. Secsnd and Yamhill $is Portland, Or
Look here, young man, if you suffer from any of the
weakening effects of disease caused by your boyish pranks
and contagion or you may have been swindled by quack
doctors, but don't forget the fact that you must be cured, it
never gets well itself, the drain and losses continue and
unless stopped will land you with thousands of others in the
asylum or the grave. A great -number of divorce cases if the
underlying cause could be investigated would be found to
be the incompatibility of physical conditions. The time is
coming when it will be necessary for a medical and physical
examination before a marriage certificate is granted. The
weakness and diseased condition of people will make such a
course indispensable for protection to the children of future
generations. Already the physical condition of every do
mestic animal is carefully graded up except cats and human
beings. Many yo'ung men have consulted old Dr. Kessler
before getting married. Good health insures happiness in
this world.
Women We desire to say to the woman we know from
many years' experience that many are suffering untold agony
from complicated diseases that this old St. Louis Dispensary
treats hundreds. The ladies' department is full all day dur
ing office hours. We can refer to many whose life was a
drag of pain and nervousness until we cured them. Private
rooms for ladies. If you can't call write your condition.
Our home system of treatment has cured hundreds. Address
