An illuminated elk's head, above -which arose a tall palm; the American flap, to the right; flowers; a white canvas screen upon which flashed for a moment the names of departed brothers, and then hocame a blank, illustrating the truism that this life Is but a vapor and soon passes away; a background of a forest scene where trees and shrubs breathed the sjplrlt of resurrection. Such was the mind-picture of the scene enacted yester day afternoon on the stage of the Mar quam Theater, when the officers and members of Portland Lodge No. 142. Be nevolent Protective Order of Elks, gath ered to pay homage to the memory of , those of their number gone before. , Spectacle Was Impressive. j The roost impressive spectacle of all was when the names of dead lodge mem bers were called out. Instantly the names were flashed on the canvas screen, were visible for a moment and then vanished. Then a silver chime manipulated by Louis Fried, broke the stillness and died with the echoes. The roll of the dead: "W. K. Parant. J. XL. Foley, "Ward S. Stevens, X H. Letcher. S. D. Merritt. John Landgraff, Richard Ilolton, Frank A. "W'ortman, C. M. Gray. C C. Mead. E. R. Bchlow, George W.

House, pastor of the First Congregational Church, who said in part; Long ago, when the lion beheld the lamb, th king of "beasts said: "'Every one must take care of himself," eo the lamb went down. And soon the ethics of the forest became the ethics of the market place. Going Into th'e forest man found a strong, tree, and lifting his ax upon It, built It into his home. Going into the mine he smslted the silver, and with It bought his pleasure. In tho business realm man also has gone forth and surveyed his fellow xnon, and has built them Into his for tune. Long ago there came a great teacher who aid: Instead of building men into your fortune, build your fortune into men. So manhood began to go up, and the ethics "of love began tho race with the ethics of selfish ness. "Which is greatest? Croat are the achievements of the sculptor upon the marble, the painter upon tho dull canvaas, but these equal not the transformation which turns a man away from the etblcs of tielftehness to those of love for his fellow men. Selfishness ps the forces of genius. No man ever dragged a. false, selfish. Impure life up to the heights of sustained achievement. The man who lives below his best, works below his best. Genius is a. wing that may bear a. man 3oft in swift and sudden flight, bat it cannot sustain him on a. high level of efficiency If weighted and cloyed by selfishness. Byron. Burns, Gambetta. and Poe have given tragic testimony to this truth. Ethics of Love. The ethics of love have won a place in the life and thought of the world, and mankind has come to appreciate that organization which tend to make the sense of justice strong In toelety; that tends to inspire rectitude In pub lic life; that tends to associate itself with great principles; that tends to shine on hu man .gloom with cheer and help. It Is because your order has a relation to these things and has borne an hpnorable part Jn society that I have accepted your Invita tion to address you at this time. The noble men who founded your order built larger than they knew. They never could by their own exertion have built such a symmetrical and fceautiful temple. It was tho broad catholi city of creed, the recognition of the universal rights and needs of mankind; the practical demonstration of its principles, that has made the Blks what they are today. The secret of your success Is not found in rituals and forms, but in great fundamentals that touch the life of man at all points of his career. "What are these? Briefly enumerated, the Order of the Ulks is confederated for the dispensation of charity, for the inculcation and practice of Uie principles of Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity. These arc the article of your faith, the tenets f your creed.- the exponents o your power. Charity the Keystone. Charity is the keystone in tho arch of your order. It is the cry of the sentinel in the watch towr; it is the "vox humana" in the great organ: it Is the rainbow in the dark ened sky. And while the - order feeds the hungry, clothes the naked."" and alleviates the needs of Its brethren. It also has that higher charity which tempers the zeal of .criticism with the cloak of fraternal sympathy. Char ity recognizes 'tho' fact that men are not to he judged upon tho microscopic plan. Man is to be viewed from the 'standpoint of his ln finite possibilities. He. of all things in this world, cannot be criticized as one Judges a picture or a statue. Flesh and bloOd, full of passion, and moved by a thousand prejudices, require a generous heart and a kindly spirit. To be patient and tolerant is the work of your order. An then Brotherly Love is the cement which holds together the brick and stone of your social fabric The race of life Is not al ways a fatrljr contested one. Envy. Jealousy, malice, treachery and wickedness in all forms. man must reckon with. But in the midst of tho darkness lights gleam out and voices hail with cheer. They come from fraternal or ders and Christian organizations. They are the orders that blaze a path through the tangled underbrush of men's selfishness. Sure ly Brotherly Love is the uncompromising foe of envy, hatred and wickedness, and the im placable enemy of coveteousncss and selfish ness. Fidelity the Mother of Charity. Fidelity te the mother who gave birth to Charity. Justice. Brotherly Love and all their kindred. Though In all the great family of the Elks there be weak and erring children. yet -there are none that-bear the name of traitor. Justice means that-tho -Elks-give- -at tention to the moral virtues of life. Here 5a your strength for a long . enduring race. Let men teaca and preach and sow' and toll, make laws and perform, all the functions of a great people. But, above all. let the Elks in their temple of Justice, stand for real, downright honest manhood, and here will be your fuU cram of power to make men believe la and love your order And If you write these principles of Charity, Brotherly Love. Fidelity and Justice over the entrance of . your lodge rooms, and therein teach 'the sentiments of tbece , principles, your order will live to -the dawn of - the great eternity and be a mighty blessing to the world. Address by G. C. Fulton. Beading of the ritual was most im pressive, as different officers arose from appointed stations and spoke the -mes-sages of peace,- love and mourning .which have made that ritual one of "the'-most noted. The presiding officer was Exalted Ruler "W. W. Robinson. The eulogy was delivered by G. C. Ful ton, a member of Astoria Lodge No. 180, B. P. O. E. His principal thought was that we may admire the temporary beau ty of bud, flower, green blade of grass, mountain chasm, and the majesty of the firmaments; but that a grander picture opens to us In building up of one's own character and doing one's llfework. "Riches and fame are but the mere bub bles of the hour," went on the speaker. "We are, after all, the architects of our own heritage, and in building we must remember we are building for all time. Your conscience Is the court before whom your case must be tried. I don't indorse the theory that people are getting worse, or that the race is corrupt. This age would not tolerate a Nero or a Napoleon, and a nation Is honest when her people make her so. By the mistakes of the past we guide our future." In closing, Mr. Fulton spoke on the qualities of mercy and common charity. The music was an Interesting feature and three marches were impressively played by thhe Marquam Theater orches tra, and a male quartet, consisting of W. H. Boyer. H. W. Hogue, Dom J. Zan and W. A. Montgomery, acceptably sang two selections. Mrs. Halile Parrish Hinges, of Salem, formerly a resident of this city, showed excellent Interpre tation and fcelclng In singing Millard's "Ave Maria." Dom J. Zan pleased with one number, Splcker's "In Thee, O God, Do I Put My Trust." There was no ap plause to break the solemn service. The audience was a large one, many visitors being present from other cities. Army of Job Seekers All Sorts and Conditions of People Iavade Exposition Head quarters. IF GENERAL. KUROPATKIN could get a rcsorve army as big as the force that wants to go to work for the Lewis and Clark Exposition he could walk right through the Japs' lines, crushing down their resistance by eheer force of num bers. The loss of a few "odd thousand wouldn't make any perceptible difference. on a conservative estimate there have been 23.000 applications for jobs, during the past six months, and of this number there are nearly 10,600 who have filed writ ten applications, and several thousand who have appeared in person at the Ex position headquarters to work some real or fancied "pull." Exposition officials state mere are no less than a hundred appli cants per day for jobs. All manner ,of men for all manner of jobs, and with as many different ways of presenting their claims, constitute the army of jobseekera. President Jefferson Myers, of the State Commission, Is tho principal -victim of these supplicants for work, because of his Inalterable good na ture and inexhaustible patience. Mr. My ers has more than half of his time taken up by them, and Secretary Henry Reed and members of the Executive Board are also serlouely hampered in their work by the appearance every few minutes of some one who wants a Job at anything from gatekeeper to general superintendent of the whole Exposition. A goodly number of the jobhuntera want to tend an admission gate. It has been figured out that enough gatekeepers have applied for work to place one in charge of every gate In the State of Oregon and have a hundred or two left over to carry potato peelings to the pigs. Next In point of numbers comes the guards. One man feels ho ought to bo made a guard because he saw service in the Philippines with the Eighth Army Corps. Another used to know one of the directors when they were boys in school together, and another's father used to know another official's grandfather's mother's pet poodle dog, or something equally ridiculous. Again there la the professional job hunter, who goes into headquarters with a lusty air, blows huge volumes of smoke from a Virginia cheroot and condescend ingly asks of the assistant to "bring on" the president of the Fair. He wants a joo as supervisor oi some department. Ho doesn't care whether It Is the agri cultural department or the horticultural department. Yes, he would be able to handle the horticultural department well let's see, what does horticultural mean? Oh, yes! It's about trees. He knows all about trees. His antecedents used to climb around in trees and hang from limbs by their tails a comparatively short time ago. Then there is the oroken-down politician with the fancied "pulL" He throws, out mysterious hints about strong influence and talks freely of his dealings with Sen ators and may even let loose a line or two about "m fren Roosevelt." He would like an easy job bosein' some of the workmen fiomcthin easy like, you know, 'cause he isn't much on the work any more since he had that there attack of rheumatics a couple of years ago. He most probably is on good terms with a few newspaper men, and If he got no job he could well, he might Influence them to say things that weren't alto gether pleasant. An applicant who stands in a class by himself dropped in a few days since and related that he had been a taxpayer for nigh onto 25 years and his good money had helped to build up the state and com munity. He kind of felt that now he needed the money the Exposition ought to give him a good soft berth so as he might get some of this tax money hack. ' He would "be willing to be chief guard or to superintend the office forces or. watch for any Irregularities among other em ployes. In lessor classes Is tho prospector who wants to taSe charge of the mining ex hibit and who knows about as much about mineralogy, perhaps, as a Government mule does about psychology; and the Ital ian or Greaser wlio wants a job because it would induce his native country to par ticipate If he held a responsible position; and the exploitation agent with freak ad vertising schemes, and so on through a list of incredible length. Nor must it be supposed the fair sex is not represented. There Is the ubiquitous elderly lady whose husband was a Mason or a Presbyterian. He died a few years ago,, and she wants a nice position to re munerate her for that. And then the more susceptible Exposition attaches are flustered now and then by the -comely miss who wants to be a stenographer. and who Is turned down with pomp and regrets. "Of a fact," said a hard-worked Com missioner, yesterday, ae he skulked into his private office and bolted the doors to prevent Sunday intrusions from enter prising jobseekers, "I would never have believed there' were so many people in the whole world who want jobs. If I have read aright, most of them are al ready employed people who want to better themselves. I doubt If there Is more than one in fifty who would be willing to do real work."

Grove. 25c WANT HIGH SCHOOL Much Talk of Erecting New Building on East Side, MANY IN FAVOR OF THE PLAN Estimated That New Building Can Bt Erected on a Six-Mill Tax, and Congestion of Present High School Thus Relieved. Does Portland need a. new high school, and if so when will it be built and where and for how much? This Is the main question which Is now occupying the at tention of the men engaged in managing the public school system of Portland, and which will In part be settled at the meet ing of the School Board this evening. The school question is a troublesome one in its shiftiness and its ever-varying demands. The rapid growth of the school population has been a source of surprise to the most of the directors and those who have been accustomed to view with conservative eyes tho expenses In cident to the school management have been and are now unused to the demands made upon the school fund. Lost year, there was a tax of mills. This year it is estimated that the tax will not have CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR OF MILWAUKIE TVTLTjIAM SCIUNDLER. to be heavier than 6 mills, even in the event of the purchase of another block of ground and the erection of a high school building. last year the increase In tho school populaton was about 1800; this year It will bo from 2000 to 2500. There are ap proximately 15,000 school children now in regular attendance at the public schools of the city. Herman "Wittenberg, a member of tho board, has decided opinions In regard to. the -construction of another high school,! as well as to other Improvements in tho housing and care of the children when under the charge of the city. He will present some of his Ideas at the meeting of the hoard which is scheduled for this evening. "The school situation?" queried Mr. "Wittenberg, following a question asked him yesterday afternoon. "I will have to take time, for there Is so much of it that I might overlook something. Crowded Rooms Causes Concern. "Outside of the high school question, something will have to be done to re lieve the crowded condition. "We will have to build four rooms at Highland, four at Brooklyn and our at East Twenty-eighth street. Something will have to 2e done' for the Holllday School, as the rooms are now crowded there. At Sunnysido the same condition prevails. "In regard to the high school question," continued Mr. "Wittenberg, "I am in favdr of building, on the East Side, as there aro as many children on the East Side as on the "West- We have a. fine lot on the East Side adjoining tho Central School," and the speaker paused a moment and smiled, then he added, "which I would like to see retained as a play ground for the Central School. "My plan," he further stated in refer ence to his previous statement, "would be to buy a block and build a part of the new building each year for four or per haps five years. It would be better to put up the whole building and to finish eight rooms at a time and at the end of five years a magnificent structure could bo built by the board, the high school on the "West Side could be relieved of Its present strain and the taxes not mater ially increased. Should Buy New Block. "I do not believe that the ground now owned near the Central- School Is as cen trally located as it might be and would favor building the high school farther to the north, as there are a large number of children in Albina and will be more and more as that part of the city grows and stretches down the peninsula. "The new block should cost from $15,000 to $20,000, while it would require about $50,000 for the building the first year. I would have the building contsructed of brick, of the latest design, shaped like the letter 'H,' in order that all of the rooms would be well lighted from all sides. I would finish the first eight rooms during the next year and four each year after that until the wholo IS had "been com pleted." "Do you think that this will be done?" Mr. Wittenberg was asked. Does Not Know What People Want. "I do not know," he answered. "It is hard to say what the people will want. It Is probable that they will look with dis favor on the purchase of more property at this time. I am in favor of it and can see that It would be a wise investment. I do not like the idea of cooping tho children, especially the smaller ones, up in basemonts during their recreation hours. No matter how well ventilated the apart ments are, or how well kept and well con structed. It Is not as good for the child as exercise In the open air. It Is impos sible to put a thousand children together in a basement, no matter how constructed, and give each the air space that Is needed. "Even with the construction of a high school and the purchase, of a xievr block," said the speaker changing to the subject of finances, "I do not believe that it will be necessary to ask for more than a 6-mill tax. I personally think that it would be better to bond the district and issue tho bonds as needed, but I do not know that this idea would be greeted with favor, for there are many who are opposed to the issuance of bonds. Six-Mill Tax Needed. "A tax of 3 mills .will pay the salaries of the teachers and the janitors, but the other 3 mills will be necessary for build ing purposes. One mill in Portland means about $50,000, which will show that no exorbitant figure is being estimated for additions and improvements. "There Is one thing, though," said tho chairman." and that is the fact that the schools of Portland are now In better con dition than ever before. There Is no com parison between the condition of the buildings now and a year ago. It Is true that we are a little crowded, but aside from this Portland ought well to be proud of the public school system supported by the city. The teachers rank equal, if not superior in some cases, to the Eastern teachers, the course of instruction is as good and the results are as good. I have been In the East and I have made a study of the 'question and am frank to say that I am proud of the Portland schools. They are progressive and up to date. ."I want to see a broader course adopted. There are now five centers for manual training in the city and I wish to see at least eight by the coming year. I would give every one In the schools a chance to 'Study manual training if they so desire. Favors Kindergarden. - "I want to see the kindergarten adopted as a part of the public school system gen erally. I would like to see those children who are not favorably situated given a chance from the start to grow up under right training and, as far as possible, right conditions. "I would like to see the teaching of do mestic science adopted b the city schools as a department in their Instruction and help to the young. It Is needed and it is practical and should be taught. "The school question Is a big one," con cluded Mr. "Wittenberg, "and it is one that is destined to grow bigger with tho years. Portland is growing and there will never come a time when the school population will grow smaller or cease to become larger. The Idea that there is a possibility of Portland standing still is an absurd one. And In this ease the increase In a city of 125,000 people would be much greater than In one of half the number, and so with a city of 150.000 it will be vastly larger than If but 123,000 residents were to be found here. The school ques tion will be a growing one and It Is well i CAPTAIN KERR. to get caught up as rapidly as possible. Then it will be easy to handle the schools without undue taxation, and I think that the best way to do it is to begin now ta relievo the crowded condition, after which there will be but the usual" and natural increase. "I will he in favor of the construction of a new high school on the East Side on new property to be bought and I will recommend the same to the board and the meeting of tho taxpayers when it Is con vened In December." ELECTION OCCTJES TODAY. Milwaukie to Choose Its Municipal Officers.

If re-elected, that no improvement In volving expenses, will be undertaken without the consent of the whole people, and that a fair policy will bo pursued with reference to the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company. He believes in favoring the company in all reason able ways with a view to securing the proposed shops, or at least retaining the present railway building. In Milwaukie. Also he says he favors a change In the charter so that road money collected in Milwaukie shall be spent Inside the city. C. Kerr, at the head of the Independ ent ticket, was nominated by reason of a petition containing 53 names. Tho Inde pendents declare they have no antagon ism for the electric railway and stand exactly on the same "platform with the Citizens with reference to general Im provements. "I have no feeling whatever in this contest,"" says Mr. Kerr. 'T was asked to make the run, and I thought it a good thing to havo a contest." ETRDS A HOLY ROLLER. C. H. Reed, of Milwaukie, Has Amus ing Experience With One. C. H. Reed, formerly of East Portland, but "now of Milwaukie, where he has a cider factory, while on his rounds Satur day, found a Holy Roller, according to his story. "I heard a racket in the house as I was driving by," said Mr. Reed, "so I thought I would go in and find out what was go ing on. Upon knocking at the door, a wild-eyed man came to It and said: "Well, what do you want?" "I want to sell you some cider," said Reed. The man rolled his eyes about and then remarked: "The Lord says I must have five gallons of cider." "Have you got a keg?" asked Reed. After another pause he replied: "The Lord says I must go into the basement and get a keg." "I delivered the fivo gallons," said Mr. Reed, "and, receiving my pay, started off, when the man came to the door and called out: " 'Hold on, there. "Well, what will you have?" asked Reed. "The Lord says I must have another gallon of that cider." he said. Heavy Fire Loss at Los Angeles, LOS ANGELES. - Dec. 4. Firo carly ard Woodenware Company at No. 230' South Los Angeles street, and seriously damaged the large four-story building which the company occupied. The loss on stock Is estimated at 5100,000, and on buildings $25,000, both partially Insured WORK IS WELL DONE Neighborhood Guild House Is Now a Happy Reality. DEDICATION TAKES PLACE Dr. Wise and Others Speak in Praise of Those Whose Energetic Labors Made Institution Possible 1-arge Audience Listens. In recognition of the faithful and good work "done ' by the Council of Jewish Women, the Jewish citizens of Portland, and many of their Christian brothers and sisters', crowded the gymnasium of the new Neighborhood Guild House to stand ing room yesterday afternoon on the oc casion of its dedication. It was a happy occasion for the earn est women whose untiring efforts have made the new building possible, a happy occasion for the residents of South Port land who welcome the Institution as a place of education and recreation for their children, and happy was every in dividual who donated a dollar toward the cause. At the close of the interesting programme, when Dr. Wlso called for volunteer yearly subscriptions toward the maintenance of the work, a goodly per centage of those who so liberally re-. sponded were residents of the locality fn which the house Is situated, for thu Neighborhood Guild Is not a charltablo institution, but an educational one. Musical Programme Rendered. Music for the occasion was furnished by members of the Amsterdam Hungar ian Orchestra. The 'cello solo, v"Then You'll Remember Me," by Master Maurlco Amsterdam was quite up to the excel lent reputation he has established with Portland music-lovers, and the cymbalom solo by Miss Frances was exquisitely rendered, and was encored. B. Amster dam's violin selection, "The Spring Song," was a rare treat, and his Interpretation of the "Intermezzo," from "Cavalier Ruaticana" was pleasing. Mabel Goldstein and Harriet Lechtzer gave the opening and closing prayers; Eva Slegel recited "The Banner of the Jew" most accept ably; A Id ram Asher proved himself an accomplished linguist by reciting the 30th Psalm in Hebrew, and Harold Ger inanus, on behalf of the Beth Israel Re ligious School, presented the Neighbor hood Guild with a copy of Sagrcnt's "Prophets." Addresses were made by Mrs. S. M. Blumauer, president of tho Council of Jewish Women; W. J. Standley. super intendent of manual training In the pub lic schools, and Dr. Stephen S. Wise. Dr. T. L. Eliot responded to an invitation to address the r idience and had many words of encouragement and commenda tion for the work already done and that Just being started. Ho prophesied that the work will grow so rapidly that It will not be long before the new building will have to be enlarged, and said that while the idea might be appalling he hoped it would prove true. Address by Mrs. Blumauer. Mrs. Blumauer's address reviewed the work done by the council since its incep tion nine years ago, and of its steady and gradual growth up to the present time. She gave full credit to every member who has helped and to Ben Selling she paid especial tribute, saying that but for his kindly and able assistance the project of erecting a building could not have been successfully carried out. Mrs. Blumauer also stated that the Neighborhood Guild opened the first free manual training school in Portland and that many had claimed it went far toward influencing Its introduction into the public schools. As to the work planned for the future, there- will be a course of lectures pro vided by a lecture committee, on the order of the Cooper Union in New York; clubs, literary and social, will be organ ized; the gymnasium will be open nightly to all who wish to use it, and the use of shower baths will be extended. . A fully equipped reading-room and library will bo open to the, public, classes In domestic science, manual training and many other branches will be maintained, and in time a free kindergarten will be opened for the little ones. The enthusiastic ap plause which greeted each stage of the work as mapped out by Mrs. Blumauer seemed to Indicate a deep Interest by every man, woman and child In the room. Spoke of the Work. J. W. Standley Is popular with the Jews of Portland. The boys and girls and parents of South Portland all love him, and those of every other part ,of town ex press the greatest admiration for him. He stated that the rapid development of the work in question might appear re markable to some, but not to those who are close observers of the Jewish people. He spoke of the work accomplished by tho boys during the time he taught them, and of the great progress they made. After one season's instruction they won five out of seven contests, and to Illus trate that the benefit derived from the knowledge they had gained did not llo dormant ho cited the fact that two of the boys in that class are now teaching what they know to inmates of the Children's Home, going there weekly for the pur pose. "There would have been many more great men In the world," he said, "if they had had tools of expression." Dr. Wise Speaks. In his address Dr. Wise said: "I can best explain the work of the Neighborhood Guild House by telling what itis not to be. This is not to ba a charity, nor a work of philanthropy, in the commonly accepted sense of that term. South Portland Is in no need of charity. 'The men and women, boys and girls are to pay something In return for every educational privilege and oppor tunity afforded by this house. The work is to be strictly nonsectarian. The sup port may prove to be sectarian, but the benefits are for all, irrespective of race, color or creed. The first little graduate of the sewing school was a member of tho negro race.

Strange that children should like something that is so good for them. It's usu ally the other way. Scott's Emulsion makes children comfortable, makes them fat and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps that's why they like it so much they know it makes them feel good. "We'll -send yetx a maple, free SCOTT & BOWWE, 409 Pes?! StTeeZ, New York. heartily welcomed. We do not say 'Strangers Welcome,' because whosoever crosses the threshold, of the Neighbor hood Guild House ceases to be a stranger and becomes a neighbor and a friend. This house is not to be ruled autocratic ally from above or from without, but self-governed from within. This is now your house; we wish merely to counsel with you that the house may serve the highest ends. This Is to be neighbor hood work. The neighborhood ideal has Inspired it. This I3 to be the work of nelghborliness and of friendship. Broth erhood and sisterhood lies at the basis of the wotk here to be done. "The Neighborhood Guild is to be an educational institution. Education is to be the watchword, education of the hand, head and heart. A healthy mind can live only in a healthy body. Our gymnasium is to help you to physical soundness, to make you sturdy, self-respecting boys. For the education of the hand there is to be the sewing school, the domestic sci ence training and the manual training, with classes in drawing and modelling as the need arises. To train the hand Is to Inform the' mind and to discipline the wilL Classes to Be Arranged. "For the education of the mind, classes and courses are to be arranged. Subjects scientific, literary, historical, are to be taught. A kindergarten will probably be established for the little ones. The Guild House may become, It is hoped, an Intel lectual center for men and women. I am planning a series of Sunday night ad dresses Dy'the leaders of thought and action In our community.

Local Fans Not Concerned About Bat tles Between Loo Loos anl Tigers. Locally, the interest in the final series between the Tlgcra and the Loo Loos, Is not attracting much attention. At the present writing Fisher's crew is one game In front of Los Angeles, but there are stM five games to be played, and from the way both teams are playing it is a nose-and-nose affair and hard to pick the winner. If the games between these two teams would have been for the championship . of the Pacific 'Coast League, perhaps more interest would have been taken In the games, but tho WHY DRINK -Common for the same price you can get at any f APOLLINARIS IS BOTTLED ONLY 2,t the Spring-, Neuenahr, Germany ONLY with its OWN Natural Gas, knd under the BEST Scientific, Sanitary Conditions.

Tacoma magnates, notwithstanding the fact that the Tigers were tied with Los Angeles in the last half of the schedule, have declared that they have won the pennant and that the games now going on are merely exhibition games. This 13 rather a shoddy way of meet ing the issue. Tacoma did not win the last half of the league schedule and as Los Angeles is the only team that should meet them it Is no more than right that these games that are now being played should be for the 1904 pennant. Tacoma would have the fans believe that because their players arc not on salary, but In stead are receiving their share of the gate receipts less the cost of the grounds, that the ten games they are playing are exhibition games, but to the wide-awake fans the series have a different meaning. In the North there is a hope that tho Tigers will win. but if they lose, these same fans will always feel that Los Angeles Is again the champions. MUSIC AT EHEES.
