THE JIOEXIS'G OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1907. 13 FUN FOR THE FANS Several Games Scheduled for Remainder of Week. AMATEUR AND OTHERWISE Vniversity of Oregon and Multno mah Club Teams Will Meet Again Tomorrow Powers Bines Play Against St. Johns Sunday. Portland fang will have plenty ot base ball for the rest of this week. There will be an Interscholastic League game this afternoon on Multnomah field and a Trl-Cltjr game tomorrow on the League Fiouads, besides one between the Multno mah Club and the University of Oregon teams on Multnomah field. . The Powers Blues and The Dalles teams play on the League grounds Sunday. This ought to give the fans enough to keep them till the coming of the Beavers. The Interscholastic League game this efternoon will be between Columbia Vnl verslty and the Allen Preparatory school. There is little doubt that the University Jads will beat the Prep school boys, at least it looks that way. Columbia was somewhat discouraged by her recent de feat by the Portland Academy and one of the men. Davis left the team. His ab sence, however, does not make much dif ference, as he was the weak epot of .Columbia's Infield. Columbia's pitcher, Locke, will be on the slab this afternoon, ready to hand out choice ones to the Prep school lads. Allen has come down a little in the League. At first it looked as if the AUen team had a good show to beat the East Side High School bunch, but they were taken in camp when they hooked up against the East Siders. The result of HEARD IN .THE ROTUNDAS A. F. Stover, United States Irrigation Engineer, Tells of Work in Western Oregon Baker City's Representative Here to Urge More Favorable Railroad Bates. 7T P. STOVHR, Irrigation Engineer eto the United States Department of Agrioulture, in charge of Irrigation and drainage Investigations and exper iment stations in Oregon, was at the Imperial yesterday. He has Just re turned from a trip to the Deschutes Irrigation district, where he went to familiarise himself with the local con ditions of that section. Mr. Stover is en gaged, when his other duties will permit, tn compiling data for a pamphlet to be Issued by the Department of Agriculture to be entitled "Irrigated Agriculture in Oregon.' The pamphlet is designed to answer the thousands of questions that annually come to the department rela tive to Oregon irrigated lands. It will also undertake to supply much other useful information to Intending home seekers. "My present work," said Mr. Stover, "is to Install experimental pumping plants on farms near Hillsboro, Corvallis and Eugene, which-, will be used to supply watert for irrigating purposes during the dry Jpason in the Willamette Valley. The department hopes to be able to prove to Oregon farmers the desirability of Irrigation in this Valley. While the Willamette Valley often gets as much as 40 inches of rainfall during the so called 'rainy season." statistics record the fact that the Willamette Valley re reives but 2.5 Inches of moisture during the Summer season. "From June 15 to September 15 of each year the Yakima Valley irrigated districts, in Washington, use 22.3 Inches of water on crops. Thus it will be seen that during the Summer season, when crops are growing, the Yakima Valley rets ten times more moisture than Is had in the 'Willamette Valley. "The question which the department proposes to settle by the experiments which I have In charge is whether West ern Oregon would be benefited by a sys tem of irrigation. "Another Important work is the mat ter of proper drainage of low, swampy lands, which In their present condition re practically valueless to the owners. "I believe that under proper Irrigation two crops of alfalfa may be cut in the "Willamette Valley each year. Naturally, the second crop would not be as good as the first. The same thing probably would epply to vetches, though the latter is an annual and would have to be re-sown actr year. "Experience has shown," continued Mr. Stover, "that it takes feet of water in .Eastern Oregon and Washington Irrigated lands each season to produce the best crops. Irrigation In the Wil lamette Valley would bring much land into profitable forage production which Is now practically worthless except for early Summer pasturage. Over in the Coast counties there is enough moisture from the ocean to keep the pastures green the year around. "I am established in my opinion that the 'Willamette Valley is destined to be the greatest dairy country in the United States." COLONEL. AND MRS. W. F. BUTCH ER, of Baker City, are staying at the Portland Hotel for a few days. Colonel Butcher has been employed by the business Interests of Baker City to represent them In an effort to se cure a reduction of local freight tariffs affecting the haul between Baker City and Huntington. Tuesday last. Colo nel Butcher had a conference with the) Hailroad Commissioners at Salem re garding the matter, but says that ac tion against the O. R. & N. has not yet been started. In the event, however, that relief is not afforded by the O. R. fc N.. It is the purpose of Baker City merchants and jobbers to begin actton to see what ran be done: Abundant means have been raised for prosecuting a ruit. Referring to transcontinental business. Colonel Butcher said that Baker City pays the terminal rate to Portland, and the local rate added, from Portland to Baker City. That matter, however, it is thought, will be disposed of when the Interstate Com merce Commission decides the Spokane rate case, which Involves the same contention as the Baker City case. ATTORNEY - GENERAL A. M. CRAWFOD, of Salem, was in Port land yesterady on his way home from Pendletoo, where he has been for the past week attending a term of Su preme Court. General Crawford did not stay until the conclusion of the term, but returned to the Valley after the state cases had been disposed of. He said yesterday that many of the Eastern Oregon cases fn Supreme Court are heard In Salem, despite the fact that by law, two terms each year must be held in Pendleton, the Supreme Court Judges sitting with the Supreme Court Commlsloners. "In fact," said the Attorney-General, the game this afternoon will not make any material difference in the League re sults, as both Columbia and Allen are out of the race for the pennant. The two games for tomorrow afternoon are attracting a great deal of attention, and both ought to be good exhibitions of ball. The Trl-Clty League game, be tween the Brainards Cubs and the Brews, will be the second Saturday game ot the League. The Cubs, at present, are one of the strong teams of the League, and though they stand very near the cellar, according to the Club averages, It is a fact that they won't stay there long. H. K. Smith who is managing the team, knows a ball player when he sees one, and bas been busy of late, picking up a good bunch of players. Last Saturday, his team went up against the Frakes and lost 4 to 0. It was more luck than any thing else that made this result. The Milliners were able to get very few hits. The game will be called tomorrow after noon at 8:30 o'clock. Multnomah will meet Oregon tomorrow afternoon on Multnomah field. The last time the clubmen went up against the college lads, they were beaten all over the field, and did not even have a chance to tell how It happened. But they are now confident of coming off the field victors. The team has been strengthened and will be able to put up a far better exhibition of ball. Sunday afternoon that bunch of invin clbles, the Powers Blues, will try con clusions with the crack amateur team of the Columbia Athletic Club of The Dalles on the league grounds. The Powers are a fast bunch of ball players, and present the real article of ball. The Columbia team is not slow and will be able to give the Powers one of the best games that they ever played. A large crowd of fans will come down from The Dalles with their team. Buck Keith has consented to handle the indicator, and promptly at 3 P. M., will put the ball Into play. St. Johns Is preparing to give the fans a chance to see some Tri-City League ball Sunday afternoon. The Brews and Charlie Moore's bunch of Suburbanites will hook up together, and great things are expected from both teams. Trailers will be put on by the railway company and the weary fans will have plenty of accomodations In the transportation line. Chester Whitemore. president of the Tri Clty League, and the biggest fan in the city will occupy a seat in the grand stand, and help the game along by his presence. The Brews have been putting up fair ball, and as the St. Johns bunch Is always capable of presenting the real article, the game Sunday ought to be a hummer. "nearly all the more Important cases, which properly belong to the Eastern Oregon docket, are heard in Salem, for the reason that the State Library Is located in the Capitol, which, as all know, is an almost Indispensable con venience to lawyers, and for the fur ther reason that the state can hardly afford to maintain two auch expensive libraries." SIDNEY MALKIN of Burslem, Staf fordshire, England, who Is on a trip around the world, was In Portland yester day and left last night for San Francisco. He is now on his return home, having traveled through Egypt, India, China and Japan. While here he visited relatives who are In business in Vancouver, Wash. Mr. Malkln was surprised, as other visitors are, at the deYelopment of the great Northwest. "It strikes me," he said yesterday, "that Instead of the corporation own ing the town here in your country, the town owns the corporation. With us the corporation is the boss. In England all the officials hold their positions for a number of years, so that the policy of the borough is continuous. The bor ough engineer has a life position. The development of the city is in his hands, and he is responsible for all that is done under his management. For our coun cilors and officers we hold an election. The councilmen are In office three years, and the aldermen six years. Thus we have a continuity of policy. We pay our aldermen nothing, and there is no graft. If an alderman has a business when he accepts the office with the borough he is in duty bound to have no business dealings with the city. "In Burslem we are served by a tram way, the company operating it In several boroughs of which we are one. This company is taxed by the borough a rate on the gross assesed value of the com pany's property. This Is exclusive of the rolling stock, which is taxed by the gov ernment. "We obtain our water from a number of springs? This is pumped to the reser voirs and supplies several boroughs. The tram company and water company cater to from 300,000 to 350,000 people. In each borough we have an Incinerator for our garbage. These are owned by the muni cipality. The garbage is collected by borough employes In garbage carts at stated times. Upon being brought to the incinerator It is placed In the fur nace and entirely consumed. We useno coal or other fuel, and there is no odor and no dust. In consuming this garbage we generate all the steamwe need to run our electric plant which supplies the borough with light and power. The ash is sold to contractors, who mix it with cement and use It for paving. There are ' no by-products, as everything Is consumed. We have a population of 46,000 and burn about 900 loads of 1500 pounds a month." Speaking of his trip through India Mr. Malkln said the Swadeshi movement is in full swing there, which if consum mated will divide the government of Ben gal into two departments. He said It was thought this movement would only be felt In the north, but that it has be come a national affair. Business vln China, he said, is very quiet, probably because of the famine. In Japan, however, the shipyards are espe cially active. Egypt he says. Is fast coming to tn front. He said her finances were never on such a sound basis. CAPTAIN W. COCHRAN, who has had something to do In the past with the preparation of the big log rafts, which have gone from Stella, on the Columbia River, to San Francisco, was at the Im perial Hotel yesterday. He said that an other big raft will be ready to leave Its cradle by May 18. The raft will con tain ,000,000 linear feet of spars-and pil ing, and will be towed to San Francisco. "The spars and piling, placed end to end." Captain Cochran said, "would reach a distance of 125 miles." x The Hammond Lumber Company will float the raft In Cold Creek Slough, which body of fresh water, Captain Coch ran says, is perhaps ths deepest in the world. The slough is about 300 feet wide, and varies in depth from 25 to 40 feet, for a distance of four miles. J A. RICHARDSON, a well-known Salem physician, spent yesterday in Portland. Seen at the Perkins Hotel last night, he said that spinal meningitis had not yet mad its appearance tn Salem. - "It Is a baffling disease," said the doctor, "and I hope it will not become epidemic In this Valley. Many people have belief that It will disappear when warmer weather is experienced but I do not know that there is any particular experience upon which to base such a theory. "I remember that The Dalles had an epidemic, of spinal meningitis In 1SS2 or Beautiful Floor Coverings 0ur long-looked-for Carpets and Euga have at last arrived.

There were several deaths at that time, if I correctly remember." HE Taylor, of San Francisco, who Is on his way to the Sound, was In this city yesterday, at the Oregon Hotel. Mr. Taylor Is a San Francisco millionaire, and is president of the Bellingham Bay and British Columbia railroad, the Bellingham Bay Land Company, and the Bellingham Bay Im provement Company. Mr. Taylor is on his way to Bellingham on business con nected with his various northern en terprises, which he said were In a flourishing condition. Mr. Taylor has great faith in the Worthwest, and Incidentally paid a high compliment to Portland's splen did growth. On each trip to the Sound from California, he notes substantial Improvement In Portland, and the Will amette Valley. To Spend Fortune in New York. NEW YORK, May 9. George Grant Mason, the most-favored nephew of the late James Henry Smith, who received two-thirds of his uncle's residuary estate, has been living with his wife at the Ho tel Netherland since, they came to New York several weeks ago. He says that he expects to remain here for at least a year, as it will take that long to settle up hlB uncle's estate. Mrs. Mason will soon go to their former home in Aberdeen. S. D.. to bring to New York their two little children, and it is probable that the family will make a home permanently in this city. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL, REPORT. PORTLAND, May 9.
