By winning- the game yesterday 4 to
1, the local balltossers finished the
week against the Siwashes with a
clean sheet, thus neatly retrieving
themselves for their bad luck on the
Seattle diamond the week before. The
score with Seattle in games now stands
8 won for Portland and 5 for the other
fellows. This week the Beavers go
Into the Siwasji camp again, and the
hostile aggregation comes buck here
the following week. With the pace they
are hitting now the Beavers can hardly
lose, and it requires a big stretch of
the imagination to paint a mental pic
ture of Russ Hall's crew cleaning Mc
Credle and his baud of sluggers this
week.
Oscar Jones, the steadiest man on the
Seattle pitching staff, stood the gaff of
the local hitters yesterday, and the best
he could escape with was 12 clean and
mighty swats. Larry McLean nearly
tore the cover off the ball three times
up out of four, twice driving the
leather the length of the field for three
and a third time bagging one straight
down the center aisle for two""Ease8.
Mitchell and McCredie each picked
off two and everybody else but Charlie
Moore broke into the slugging game
before time was called. Almost every
thing was to the delight of the crowd,
for extra bases, McCredie, Smith, Hen
derson and Lister starring In this role,
besides the big catcher. Once again,
too, the locals finished the exhibition
without a bungle, and at that every
man put his fingers on everything
within reach. Benjamin Henderson was
in his usual pretty form and let the
visitors down with five scattered ones.
McHale singled, through the pitcher
in the opening layout. Sweeney put on
the brakes and laid down a nice sacri
fice. Mighty Mike swung at four out
of reach, and it was up to McCredie.
Mc. got a good fast one across the
diamond, but Johnny Kane was right
there waiting for It with hands out
stretched. The crowd settled back
with a sigh, "thtee out," when zip! the
frolicsome sphere bounded into space
clear of Kane's head. Jimmy McHale
registered on the play, and McCredie
got a hit of a kind than which tnere
never was a scratchier.
Mitchell walked in the fourth, Mc
Credie sacrificed and Jud Smith, pinch
hitter that he is. clouted one out of
sight along third base, which was
good for a tally'by Mike and two bases
for himself. Moore flew out, and it
so happened that Larry McLean was
next up. You have already heard
about Larry's hitting. Right here he
sand-wlched In one of his triple platers
result, Jud added another.
In the next Benny Henderson came
across for good measure. He roosted
on second by virtue of having planted
one of Jones' shoots against the fence
and scored on Bill Sweeney's safe
drive. Although Mitchell and McCredie
hit successively after this play, the
Giants could not get any more around,
and here ended their scoring.
For Seattle that human whirlwind,
Blankenship brought in the only tally.
A single gave him life he stole second
like a shot out of a gun while Benny
and McLean were ranking faces at each
other, and finished the circuit when
the universal favorite. Householder,
slammed one where nobody happened
to be. The score:

SEALS ARE STILL IN LEAD.
But Beavers Are Within Easy Reach
of the Ladder Top.
There has been some doubt as to the
correct standing of the clubs In the Pa
cific Coast League. Many were under
the impression that San Francisco, by
losing Saturday, retired to second place
In the pennant race, and that the Beavers
showed on top for the first time since the
season got well under way. Others
thought that yesterday's win by the
Beavers surely put them ahead.
To clear up all doubts. The Oregonian
wired yesterday for the correct standings
from Secretary Anderson. The percent
ages given at the head of the baseball
game are official and therefore correct,
and they include the games of yesterday.
San Francisco Is still 13 points ahead of
Portland. A win by the Beavers and a
lose by the Seals will tie the two teams.
The race is a pretty one, and there is
every Indication that Portland will gain
the lead during the coming series at Se
attle. BEAT THE ASTORIA STARS.
Schillers Add Another Victory to
Their Long List.
The champion Schillers, of Portland,
turned the Astoria Stars to a nice brown
yesterday on the Astoria field. The As
toria manager had called in the best he
could find up and down the coast, going
as far north to get talent as Gray's Har
bor, but his efforts availed him nothing.
The local boys walked off with the palm,
13-1. Rich Parrott, the big fellow who
has been making an enviable record for
himself, again pitched big-league ball for
the clgarmakers, getting off with but four
measly bingles.
The Hop Golds have challenged the
Schillers to another match, and this will
be played on the league grounds next
Sunday afternoon. A side bet of J500 will
lend excitement to this game, and from
all reports It will be away and by far
the best amateur contest seen In the city
for many a year. The Schillers beat the
Hop Golds at their last meeting, and they
are eager to turn the trick again, while
the other fellows are as confident that
they have strengthened their team till It
Is unbeatable.
Manager Gardner is out to win the
championship of the state with his star
bunch, and he Is looking for and eager to
accept challenges from any team In Ore

Assistant Attorney - General
Defines the Water Rights
of Homesteaders.
QUESTION A BROAD ONE
Opinion Applicable to All Reclama
tion Projects Use Is Not Re
stricted to Land Entered
by the Settler.
, OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 15. The Assistant Attor
ney General has Just rendered an im
portant opinion on the following Ques
tions: First Whether one who has made a
homesteady entry, not exceeding the
farm unit limit, either under the pro
visions of the Reclamation Act or un
der the general law, may obtain water
for such tract and also for one or more
other tracts of which he is the propri
etor, provided the area held in private
ownership does not exceed the private
ownership limit fixed by the Secretary
of the Interior.
Second If the homestead entry was
made prior to the Reclamation Act
withdrawal and contains irrigable area
in excess of the farm unit limit,
whether for the purposes under consid
eration, tne excess area is to be re
garded as of the same status as land
in private ownership.
The case in point is on the Minidoka
project, Idaho, where certain State
lands fall within the irrigable area. The
lands under this project have been
classified, and the farm unit fixed at SO
acres. The question arose as to whether
a person who makes a homestead entry
of SO acres under the Minidoka project
and aiso purchases 80 acres of State
land, may secure water from the Gov
ernment works for the Irrigation of
both tracts. The point submitted In
volves a broad question applicable to
all of the reclamation projects. The
Assistant Attorney General holds that:
Points of the Ruling.
"A person who has made or may
make nomestead entry of lands with
drawn for disposal under the act -ot
June 17, 1902 (52 Stat. 239) and subject
to the provisions, limitations and con
ditions of said act, may obtain water
for such tract, and may also obtain
water for one or more tracts of which
he is the proprietor, not exceeding the
limit of area fixed by the statute, au
thorizing the use of water for land in
private ownership, or as fixed by the
Secretary of the Interior.
"If the entry was made prior to the
withdrawal under the Reclamation Act,
the entryman may be entitled to the
right to the use of water for the Irrig
able area of the land entered, and also
for such area of land held by him in
private ownership, which, added to the
Irrigable area of his entry, will not ex
ceed 160 acres.
"While there appears to be no re
striction In the act upon the right of a
homesteader to the use of water for
land owned by him to the extent of
area allowed to any one landowner, it
has been deemed advisable to adminis
ter the law through the instrumentality
of water users' associations, which are
organized by the owners of lands with
in the project.
Must Be in Association.
"By the contracts heretofore made
with such associations by the
Secretary of the Interior only those
who are or may become members of
such associations will be accepted as
entrymen or applicants for the right
to the use of water which may be Im
pounded or controlled by the works of
such project.
"Under the articles of incorporation
and by the laws of such associations,
which are part of every contract, every
member or shareholder of the associa
tion, whether he be the owner of lands
CONSTRUES
I I IN
or an entryman of public lands, is re
stricted in his holding to 160 shares of
stock, one share being allowed to each
acre or fraction thereof, so that the
Secretary of the Interior, by entering
Into a contract with such associations,
has fixed 160 acres as the limit of the
right to the use .of water by any one
person. Whether the land Irrigated is
entered as public land or is held In
private ownership, or under both
rights."
O. R. & K. IMPROVING ROADBED
Commences Work on the Mountain
Division Near Dry Creek.
LA GRANDE, Or., July 15. (Special.)
Work commenced this week on the im
provement of the O. R. & N. track in the
mountain division. The Pacific Coast
Construction Company has the contract
for filling In 10 high trestles crossing Dry
Creek. One hundred men are camped at
Hilgard. They have a sub-contract from
the Pacific Coast Company for driving
the drainage tunnels, which will provide
a new chanel for the creek. There are to
be four tunnels constructed and the con
tract price is $22 per lineal foot.
It Is said this work will occupy a year.
The material from the tunnels will be
used as far as it will go in making the
fillings and the remainder of the filling
will be done mostly with scraper teams.
When the full force Is at work there will
be between 300 and 400 men engaged on
the job between Hilgard and the top of
the hill.
Besides this the entire roadbed between
La Grande and Huron Is to be ballasted
with a dressing of gravel. A steam shovel
will be stationed near the mouth of Rock
Creek, this side of Hilgard. Contractors
have commenced the work of putting In
the grade for tracks, and the Grand
Ronde Lumber Company's logging road
will be utilized.
Several extra work trains will be en
gaged in the mountain district all through
the Summer months and Fall and the
amount of gravel to be hauled Is ap
proximated at 90 carloads a day.
MEACHAM MAKING PROGRESS.
Historic Eastern Oregon Town Is
Scene of Many Improvements.
LA GRANDE, Or., July 15. (Special.)
Among the many localities in Eastern
Oregon where industrial development Is
making itself felt, old, historic Meacham
is not to be overlooked. Ties and rails
are at hand for the logging railway which
is to supply the NIbly sawmill which is
being removed from the U. P. spur. This
railroad will ' for the present be about
six miles in length and will extend in an
northeasterly direction from Meacham,
tapping a fine body of timber. At a later
date a logging road will be sent out
northward, and altogether there is suf
ficient timber accessible by rail to keep
the Meacham mill going for five years.
Recently a large force of laborers be
gan the work of reconstructing the re
taining dam about a mile west of Mea
cham. A dam was built at this point last
Summer, but was swept away by the
floods last month. This work is being
done by the O. R. & N. Co. and is for
the purpose of providing a gravity water
supply for railroad use at Meacham.
It is stated that four months will be
required to construct the dam and re
establish the water system the same as
it was before.
With these projects in motion there will
be things doing in an industrial way at
Meacham for a considerable length of
time. The Marlin Hotel is crowded, even
In advance of the usual Summer patron
age, and Meacham is once more coming
to the front as a place of importance
among the growing localities of Eastern
Oregon.
Smallpox on the Cymric.
BOSTON, July 15. The steamship Cym
Tic, of the White Star line, arrived from
Liverpool early teday but was not per
mitted to dock until late in the afternoon
on 'account of the prevalence of smallpox
on board. A steerage passenger and a
memebr of the crew were found to be af
fected with the disease, and 689 passen
gers and sailors had to be vaccinated be
fore being permitted to land.
La Grande Titles Now Perfect.
LA GRANDE, Or., July 15. (Special. )
The satisfaction of the blanket mortgage
for $6,000,000 given by the O. R. & N.
Co. back in the '80s was filed in the office
of the County Recorder this week. This
transaction removes a defect in the title
of a large part of the city of La Grande
and within which is situated nearly all
the business part of town.

GARFIELD USES MACADAM
Crashed Rock Is Laid on the Princi
pal Business Streets.
GARFIELD, "Wash., July 15. (Special.)
The streets of Garfield have been put in
excellent condition with crushed stone
this season. The work has been done by
contract at a cost of 3850. The con
tractors have now completed their work,
but the city will continue the macadam
izing on Main street to the Northern Pa
cific tracks, and on California street east
to the Northern Pacific depot. Mr. Mc
Pheters, formerly of Spokane, will be in
charge and from 20 to 30 men will be
employed. These men will receive from
2.25 to J2.60 per day.
"There is a scarcity of men," said
George W. Smith, one of the City Coun
cil last night, "and we need several good
husky fellows at once in order to run our
stone crusher to its full capacity. We
have put the crushed stone on our
street 12 inches deep In the center and
have tapered It off to 6 Inches deep at the
sidewalks. The 3000 cubic yards contract
ed for has been completed and now the
city will build 1200 cubic yards more
and complete the east end of Main and
California streets to the Northern Pa
cific tracks.
"We are greatly in need of men to do
this work, but on account of the harvest
coming on so rapidly and the great de
mand for men in this locality for railroad
building we shall probably be unable to
get a full crew for some time."
O. H. Johnson, City Councilman, said:
"The 3000 cubic yards of macadamizing
contracted by Moftltt & Co., has been
completed at a cost of J3000, but it first
cost the city J850 to prepare the streets
for the stone and to put in the curbing.
The 1200 cubic yards now to be put in by
the city should not cost Over $1000, pos
sibly 11100, making a grand total of J4950
expended this year by Garfield for good
roads.
