HEAVY BATTER SIGNED
TOM r.VTlItOTT -WILIi FIELD FOrt
JACK G RIM'S TEAM.
Satire Son, Who Has Been riarlut
Baseball In the Cut for Slnnr
Years, Returns.
Tom Parrott. the native "Vebfoot, who
made "Kingpin" Borchera look like the
flickering lights In Solomon's temple In
1K, and who has played several profes
sional seasons In the East, has been signed
by Jack Grim as a fielder In the Port
land team of the Pacific Northwest
League. Tom was offered the pitcher's
box. but ho declined It.
"Jly arm gave out once." he said In his
letter of declination, "and I think I would
rather havo the field."
While more valuable in the box, Tom Is
illll a man for the field. He la as light
on his feet as ever he was, and If there
should be any necessity for a change
pitcher he may be called upon. His arm
Is as good as ever, but he docs not wish
to use It In the box. In outdoor practice
he tensed the curves as well as he did
when he waa a youngster when the pro
fessional league of was instituted In
the Northwest.
Tom has had a varied career. Gradu
ating from a school of ball players which
met at the famous old Oaks on the East
Side and which sent Into profetelonallsm
the two Parrotts, Tom and "Jlggs," Dren
nan and Schmeer, he made a hit in 1S90
and 1SS1. "Jlggs" was called to the ma
jor league ajd worked under the great
Anson. Tom played In Oregon and Cali
fornia In 1S92. and in 1SS3 he went to
Birmingham, where he repeated his record
of the Vest. Chicago called for him, and
in a dispute about his services he war
awarded to Cincinnati, where he served
three yearn. In lSSfi he played in the out
field for St. Louis, and he led the team
in batting. In US' he was traded to St.
Paul of the 'Western League for Walter
Wllmot, now manager of the Minneapolis
team, but the salary did not suit him, and
he left the club. In the latter part of
1S he played in Portland, and with the
Seattle team in California In 1SS9. He
played In Denver In ISO), and In Nashville
in 1S01, and now he is back in Portland.
"I am here to stay," he told last night.
"I have got rather tired of traveling, and
I feel like staying at home In Portland,
where I have everything at stake. Here
I will still play ball and still play the
cornet, although I am an old man."
"Old man? When did you begin to get
old, Tom?" he was asked.
"I don't know. Some people tell me
that I am old and I don't like to tell them
that they are mistaken."
"You were a boy when we used to play
together, and that was only 10 years ago,"
said a friend.
"Yee, but I have been so long on the
field that people come to consider me an
old man. You are still looked upon as a
youngster, but I am not. People date my
age from the year that they first saw me
on the diamond, and some think I was
born with the game of baseball."
"But even that would not make you an
old man."
"Certainly not, but people would rather
consider It otherwise. You know how
those things go. But let it stand and
tell them that when the game starts I
shall be In the field."
Tom has. never appeared to be in better
condition for a ball game. He nan taken
splendid care of himself during the past
year, and his pitching arm is in fine
shape. He says he will not pitch ball
again, but It will not be surprising to we
him in the box. His inclination Is that
way, but Grim might prefer to keep htm
in the field where he may do the fine field
ing characteristic of him and the time
ly batting that made himself and his late
brother "Jlggs" famous.
A baseball league this season of Pen
dleton and five Washington towns Is now
in sight, with Pendleton, Walla Walla,
Dayton. North Yakima, RltzvlUe and El
leneburg as members. Of these towns
North Yakima, Rltxvllle. Walla Walla
and Dayton already have associations or
ganized or standing over from last year,
and, while no definite arrangements have
yet been made, the above line-up, with a
salary limit between $750 and J1000 a month
for each team, is probable.
This league would be an entirely new
thing in Inland Empire baseball, being
on. a larger scale than anything hitherto
attempted among the wheat towns. In
its favor It Is argued that the towns are
pretty evenly balanced and that train
service would be excellent, with short
Jumps. Enthusiasm is beginning to work
up In Pendleton and In Walla Walla and
Dayton, and Is said to be also rampant in
the Northern Pacific towns.
A permit was issued Thursday in Seat
tle for the fencing and the building of
bleachers and grandstand of the Pacific
Coast League baseball park, at Fifth ave
nue and Harrison street. The cost of the
work is estimated at $5500, and the Job Is
to be completed by April, 10.
Work on the new park has progressed
rapidly under the direction of Manager
Wilson, and the sodding has been nearly
completed. The erection of the grand
stand and bleachers will be completed
fully two weeks before the season opens
in Seattle. April S3.
The work of construction of the fences
and the seats has been let to N. M. Beers,
and the work will be begun next week.
The seating capacity of the bleachers and
grandstand will be about 3000.
Manager Wilson as the members of the
Seattle team will leave next week for
Riverside and Los Angeles, where the pre
liminary practice work will, be done.
Outfielder Hoy left Cincinnati Tuesday
night on a through train to Los Angeles
via New Orleans. "Dummy's' original
plan was to train at Hot Springs, but
he has decided to condition himself at
Los Angeles Instead. The mute ball
player writes a splendid letter, and ought
to, aj both he and his wife are school
teachers, 'educated better' than nine out
of ten men that are met on the streets.
He writes a very legible business hand,
and Is aa clever with his pen as he Is with
the big bat.
Hoy recently took umbrage at an ar
ticle that appeared in an Eastern sporting
publication to the effect that he has
shown more wisdom than most ball play
ers in .retiring when he was at his best.
and stated in his answer, which was so
well put together and so logical that the
publication printed It In extenso. that no
ball player ever retired when he was at
ills best unless for business reasons, and
that personally he was in the came to
stay as long as he could give satisfaction
to his employers.
The Stanford 'varsity baseball lean will
have the benefit this season of practice
with the best professional team there is.
Manager "Hank" Harris" nine riant will
have the advantage of seclusion, two dallv
practices and two-hour tussles every af-.
xernoon wim a somewnat raw but very
ambitious college team. The 6an Fran
cisco professional team -will be taken to
Palo Alto March 9. They will have three
weeks' grilling practice on the Stanford
diamond, every morning having the entire
field to themselves and every sftern'oon
mixing things up with the nifty Stanford
varsity. The San Francisco team will
live in Faio Alto and make daily trips
back and forth to the campus. This
scheme, says Manager Harris, will get
his men away from the city to a dry town.
will give them the benefit of a glorious
Santa Clara Valley climate, and at the
same time will give them practice games
with a ,team quite worthy, of them. The
same plan was brought up tast year by
.Manager jsawaras, out Harris, alter see
lng the college team play, decided that
they were not good enough. This year
Stanford s clever combination, will, he
feels, be enough to keep his men busy.
Harris team will be stronger than ever
berore. Jt will have 'the following per
sonnel: Catcher, Leahy; pitchers, WhaJen
and Iburg; first base, Pabst. captain of
Atlanta nine; second base. Burns; third
Dase ana captain, Irwin, formerly of
Brooklyn; shortstop. Shay; center field.
Lynch of Syracuse: right field. Meany, a
heavy hitter from Columbus, O. The left
fielder has not yet been chosen.
This makes Stanford's alrairiv triwl
chances In the intercollegiate contest
much better. With a good bunch of vet
erans and a pleasing crowd of substitutes,
freshmen and otherwise. Coach Swindells
believes he can lead his men to victory.
Arthur Ross. Los Anreles' new out
fielder, the Eastern critics speak of as a
"race horse on the bases," and say the
Coast fans will see the fastest runner
that ever came to this section. He will
have to be a wonder, for Dougherty was
no slouch going down to first bane, and
Jack Lawlcr Is seme pumpkins hitting the
pain.
TO SETTLE THEIR OWX DISPUTES.
California Collrarc Xot Under Con
trol of Amateur Athletic Union.
After a number of meetings and much
discussion, the intercollegiate athletic com
mittees or Stanford and the University of
California have come to a not entirely
satisfactory revision of the Intercollegiate
athletic agreement. The chief point at ls-
sue was tne clause relating to arbitration

SHOW.
The dog that attracted moat attention In the New Tork dor show was IL B.

villainous a looking brute sa ever allowed hla teeth, best ths famous forma r
champion. Rodney Stone, the property of Richard Croker, Jr. Croker"a best dog;.
Itrornley Crib, died, and since his death Rodney Stone has been considered unbeat
able until Chiblabas cams alone snd "trimmed" him. Chlblabas la a white dog
with black spots. Rodney Stone la a red brlndle, and thereby has the advantage,
because red brindle la the beat color, other brlndles rankles next, and then white.
i
In matters of alleged professionalism. The 1
amendment as adopted provides for the
settlement of all matters relating to pro- (
fessionallsm by the faculty athletic com- j
mlttees, and If these disagree the case Is
to be taken to an arbitration committee
selected by the University Club.
This doos not alter the agreement of
last year, except In one item: It is now
definitely understood that the University
athletes are not under the control of the
Pacific Amateur Athletic Association.
Another amendment adopted defines uni
versity standing, which Is mentioned In
the agreement as one which confers a
bachelor's degree.
Graduate Manager Decoto in a recent
Interview said: "At the recent meeting
the California representatives held that
the faculty athletic committee of each
university should be the sole and final
UtltlflbJ . ."I. .... ....... I
Judge when charges of professionalism are j
brought against members of their re
spective teams. I can see no reason why.
if we have occasion to protest a Stan
ford player, we should not present our
evidence to the Stanford faculty athletic
committee, and let that body decide tho
matter. But since such an arrangement
did not suit Stanford, we agreed to the
more cumbersome amendment."

lng his affairs with the Intention of
Pe5dV,'J, s.e"'?Tal months in the vicinity
of Philadelphia, which Is a boating cen-
ter. Pape has never been defeated either
In shell or In outrigger skiff. In all his
races he hns started with a burst of speed
and has usually finished alone. He has
great strength and wonderful power of
endurance. As his time over a measured
course equals that of the fastest scullers
he tees no reason why he should not hold
his own with them In competition.

famous Eastern builders, so that he will
be as well boated as any of his competi
tors. He Is already aiming at high game,
as he 1a trying to arrange a meeting with

A communication received by a patron
of the pugilistic game says in Dart:
"Jeffries wbo is more" advised by Fitx
slmmons than f Jiy one else Just at present,
is fully determined to go to England and
swing around the circuit of the show
towns. The feeling here In New York Is
that If the champion was to be goaded
Into a match with Corbett, the amount of
criticism that has been heaped upon htm
lately would have done the trick.
"It Is believed that Jeffries feels he is In
no condition for the active work of the
ring, and for that matter the suspicion
has been engendered that he has little

that FJtzslmmons and himself expect to
clear 1100.000 each through their exhibition
tour, but It Is argued here that the kind
ot a show they are giving will not prove
much of a money-maker among the Brit
ish sports.
Jeffries says he will attend to Corbett

back from the other side. That goes for
what It is worth. The managers of the
Fort Erie Club have about concluded that
j Jeffries has no notion of .boxing any one
J at least at present-and have announced
that tho SS.000 offer to Jeffries and Cor
bett will Bo withdrawn In a few days.
Manager Herman has said that Jeffries
will not be given a chance to box at the

ARGUMENT FOR OZOKERITE
Testimony of One Who Has Had Ex
perience With the Mineral.
GOLD HILL. Or.. Feb. 17. (To 'the Ed
itor.) If it was merely to settle a differ
ence of personal opinion as to the niture
of this material. It would not be worthy
of space In your valuable paper, and It
wouia do useless to argue tne question.
But If by the publicity of this discussion
in the columns of The Oregonlan this
much-mooted question can be. settled. It
may result In the finding of Its sources.
with the strong probability of adding an
other valuable product to the virlous re
sources of this state.
That this Is ozokerlto of an excellent
quality, and that It has Its source In the
near vicinity to where it is found, there
should be no question, when all ot the
facts are fully understood. It It had not
been for the fact that some ot this ozok
erite was found In the shape ot flit cakes,
with mysterious carvings on the flat sur
face of the cakes, and that some of it
was found In the shape of crudely-made
candles, without wicks, and that a bee
was found In a piece of It, its origin
would probably never hive been doubt
ed, nor do I think we would ever have
had any scientific analysis of It as bees
wax.
After several years' practical experience
In the gllsonlte fields of Eastern Utah
and Western Colorado, where are found
nearly all of the members of the bitumen
and hydrocarbon family, consisting of oil,
coal, natural gas, gllsonlte. elaterlte. al
bertlte and ozokerite, the peculiar forms
In which the ozokerite nt the mouth of
the Nehalem takes are no mystery. These
characteristics can all be duplicated In
the fields mentioned, and are easily ac
counted for.
At some point In the vein or Imbedded
plane where this ozokerite is found, it will
be found exuding from the vein In a
semlllquld form, as Is found in the gll
sonlte veins. If this Is accompanied by
water, which Is more than likely, it would.
In this semlllquld state .attach Itself to
any intervening substance, such as a
twig, root or straw, and gradually form
In the shape of a crude candle, on the
same principle In which years ago they
used to make candles by dipping a wlck
into melted tallow until sufficient tallow
would adhere to the wick to make a can
dle. After sufficient ozokerite had accu
mulated to give It weight, it would break
off. and In time the twig or foreign sub
stance would decay, leaving an opening
through this supposed candle. This ex
plains the candle rgystcry.
isow, as to tne canes witn tne hiero
glyphics: This llquod ozokerite flowing
over a rough bedrock would adhere and
harden on the rock In the same manner,
and might attain a thickness of several
Inches or feet If the conditions were
favorable. Then, when-becoming detached
from the rock, by floods or otherwise,
would show all of the Imprint ot the face
of tho rock. While In this plastic state
berore hardening. It would entrap any un
wary fly. bee. or any helpless Insect thai
might alight oh it. This accounts for the
cakes with the Chinese characters referred
to by Mr. Miller, and for the bee found
in a piece of It
Mr. Miller In his article of recent date
argues that from its soft and pliable na
ture It must be impossible for It to float
down the Nehalem and retain its shape and
sharp angles, and likens It to quartz which
Is No. 7 In hardness and Is rounded
smooth In traveling but a short dis
tance In tho bed of a stream. Previ
ous to this he gives the specific grav
ity of ozokerite at .95. Now It is this
very light specific gravity that preserves
the ozokerite Intact. A piece of quartz
might be ages In traveling a compara
tively few miles in the bed of a stream
grinding amidst other boulders and wear
ing smooth, while a piece of ozokerite
would be but a few hours, buoyantly float
ing on top of the water during a
high freshet which has dislodged it from
Its resting place In rock or twigs, where
It has been collecting. The writer has fol
lowed gllsonlte that has floated for miles
during high water and lodged on the
banks of the stream with no more sign of
wear to Its edges than If Just broken
from the vein. Its light specific grav
ity protects It In water.
As to Its analysis, here Is where doctors
disagree. I have had it tested on dif
ferent occasions, and by a specialist In
this line of work, a man who has spent
thousands of dollars and the better part
of a lifetime in Investigating and experi
menting with the hydro-carbon minerals.
He and the others who have tested it
unhesitatingly pronounce It ozokerite of
first-class quality. I am credibly in
formed that pieces ot sandstone Impreg
nated with ozokerite are found In the
immediate vicinity of the ozokerite. If
this is a fact. It should settle beyond any
question the nature of this material.
Having shown a few ot the fallacies of
the beeswax argument. I would .like to
see some intelligent prospecting for
ozokerite in the vicinity of the Neha
lem, being satisfied that the source of this
supply can be found and that it will not
be a bee tree either. H. H. MEARS.
THE WAR ON THE SHEEP
Grant County Man Traces Its History
In Hla Rrjclon.
CANYON CITY, Or.. 'Feb. 15. (To tho
Editor.) I notice a communication In the
Blue Mountain Eagle of one Roy Glass
cock, in which he appears .to be deddely
opposed to outside sheep ranging in our
county. Let us state a few facts In re
gard to this matter, showing this op
position to outside sheep In Its true light
The sheepmen here, as a rule, are as
much opposed to outside sheep as any one
else. But the facts are as follows
When those sheep-shooters first took It
In their beads to stop the ranging of out
side sheep in our county they began by
organizing small parties and began their
depredations, shooting sheep In the night
usually masked. The first attack was on
Emll Scharff, next on J. G. Nealen. then
again on Emll Scharff. Those people
lived at Monmouth, Grant County. Or.
Next came Mrs. Emma Welch, for
whom they killed some 200 head; next
Tunis Sweek's camp was burned and then
followed William Barnard, W. R. Mascall
and George Iremonger, Mr. Mascall los
ing some 40 head.
The next attack was upon Mack Bros.'
rented sheep belonging to J. H. McHaley.
Two hundred head or more were killed.
Finally they attacked Emmet Cochran
on the trail coming home, and on this oc
casion met their first Waterloo.
These people all live In Grant County
ana mere is no aouct mat some ot the
Identical parties who did the shooting and
the loudest howling about outside sheep
have helped to shear and haul to market
the wool from the very sheep they sought
to destroy. Last July the sheepmen of
Grant and Morrow counties published a
notice" to tha cattlemen of this county
that they would, meet, them in friendly
convention letting them (the cattlemen)
set the time and place to meet and
amicably settle the question of range.

STtKUHO I keaplt
Everyone In the community knows the re
sult. Not a cowman showed up, with
the exception of the delegation from
Union Precinct, whose actions were hon
orable In every respect. Now, so much for
outside sheep.
The fact Is", there has never been, to
my knowledge, a band of outside sheep
fired Into. - It has been reported that on
one or two occasions away out on tho
eastern line of the county sheep were
fired Into while being driven out of the
county, always In the night time, and the
parties being masked beyond recognition.
In the article referred to at the outset.
Mr. Glasscock predicts more bloodshed
next Summer (simply a threat), then signs
mmscir for law and order.
We believe that every American citizen
has equal rights to use and occupy tho
public domain. Uncle Sam guarantees
such rights to all, and If these parties
were seriously abused, their rights being
Infringed upon, why do they not come out
in the broad open light of day and de
mand equal rights, not go In the dark
hour of night with masks over their faces
and destroy the property of their neigh
bors? Good men, too, men who have put
In a lifetime to build up a legitimate and
prosperous business. The Indications are
that this sheep fight Is for no other
purpose than the destruction of the sheep
Industry entirely and In the Interest of a
certain other class of stockmen. I believe
that a man who will mask himself and
go In the night and shoot his neighbor's
stock would burn his house If It was In
nis way. M. M. BRIERLY.

do not seem more so to us than those of
the Revolutionary period, or those of the
trying days immediately following the es
tablishment of the Government ot those
of the time of the bank contest, or those
of the long, dark epoch of controversy
over slavery, or those of the perilous
years of rebellion and reconstruction,
seemed to the statesman and people who
were caiiea upon to solve them. The
knowledge that all these big problems
were solved, nnd solved right and that
all these perilous cruises were safely
passed is what encourages the American
people to look into the future hopefully
and serenely, despite the fact that some
c.angerous-Iooklng breakers may be dis
cerned ahead. If they had proved unequal
to past emergencies, or If they seemed to
underestimate the magnitude ot the diffi
culties they must encounter, there might
be some occasion for alarm. But neither
of these things Is true. There never was
a time, perhaps, when they better under
stood or wero trying harder to understand
the merits of the questions they had to
deal with than now. They are. therefore,
going forward with. a manly and natural
confidence that their strength will prove
adequate to every trial:

AN ENDLESS CHAIN.
That's What It Looks Like to a
Co ttee Toper.
The trained nurse has a hard task In
deed during the long, lonesome hours of
tho night when she must keep watch, and
It Is hardly to be wondered at thit many
of them fall Into the use of stimulants.
"When I first entered the profession,'
writes a trained nurse of Kansas City
Mo., "I was required to give my patient
most careful watching, end during the
long, sleepless nights I used to refresh
myself every now and then with a cup ot
strong coffee.
"For a time It would seem to revive me
but unless I took another cup my condl
tlon was worse thin ever. In time I be
came extremely nervous, and my strength
failed me, but a sister-nurse came to my
relief by telling me her own experience.
She said, 'I have been Just where you
are now, on the verge of nervous pros
tration, but If you will do as I did you
can be restored to 'perfect health. If you
will give up your coffee and use Postum
Food Coffee your strength will return and
your nerves be rebuilt' Upon her ad
vice I Immediately quit coffee and begin
the use of Postum Food Coffee, and what
a change!
"It has beenMwo years now since I
commenced Postum, and notwithstanding
the days and nights of hard work which
come to every nurse I find I am strong
In every way and feel ready to live my
allotted 'three-score and ten.' Postum is
a good friend to me and I have tried to be
a, good friend to Postum in return, and
many of my nervous patients have been
greatly benefited by its use.
"One of these cases I will mention
brleny. The patient was a newspaper
editor, and his condition was such that
the doctors were afraid to let him be left
alone. I made Postum for him and made
It good. He wis delighted with It a'nd quit
co nee entirely, and It was not long before
he completely recovered. Is now strong
pnysicauy ana mentally, and has resumed
his editorial duties. I know the chief
ciuse of his recovery was the leaving off
oc co nee ana taking Postum Food Cof
fee. He is naturally a good, strong friend
of Postum." Name given by Postum
company. Battle creek, Mich.
