Portland showed up badly In yester
day's game with Los Angeles and !t
again by a -to- score. With good nett
ing by the home team the game would
have been close, as Graney pitched win
ning ball from the start and was ac
corded miserable 'support. Johnson was
the worst offender yesterday, making
three mlscues at third which helped the
visitors to their first tallies. At the be
ginning of the game Portland seemed
to have recovered from Its slump and to
be. playing a good game again. Graney
was pitching championship ball and the
fans hoping to see a reversal of form
were exalted at the prospects. In the
first two Innings Los Angeles was unable
to knock the ball past the inflelders.
' Easterly, the first man up in the third
was hit on the head by Graney and went
to first. This started Portland's down
fall. A sacrifice by Nagle and Johnson's
miss of Bernard s grounder put a man
on third and first. Madden s sudden
brainstorm help to let In two runs with
out the semblance of a hit.
A timely single by Easterly In the
next inning, after Wheeler had walked
and Johnson had made another error,
scored two more, and the visitors an
nexed another In the fifth on Oakes
triple and Wheeler's single.
Patrick Goes Into Box.
Patrick pitched the rest of the game,
and while he was touched up for six
hits, only one run came In.
Portland could do nothing with
Nagle's curves, and the perfect field
play of the visitors until the sixth.
Madden and Patrick, the first two men
up in this inning, were easy outs. Casey
got a single and Cooney walked. John
son, the next man up. for the first time
this week responded to the cries of the
crowd and hit a pretty three-bagger
to deep center, partly redeeming him
self for his earlier mlsplays. Danzig
retired the side by flying out. Raftery
started the seventh with a long single
to left, but was out trying to make
second. Another run might have been
recorded had he stayed on first, for
Bassey knocked a deep fly and Ryan
singled.
There will be a double-header Mon
day and only one game Sunday. Yes
terday's score:

of a comedy, with Umpire Ehret as
chief funmaker. He called two balls
foul that were Inside the diamond, and
his decisions on balls and strikes were
such that tha game stopped while a 10-year-old
mascot walked out to the cen
ter of the diamond with a broom, which
he gravely presented to the umpire that
he might sweep off the plate.
Seattle's first two runs were gifts on
a wild throw to second by Rogers, and
Spokane's first two came as the result
of bad fielding by Cahlll and Zimmer

HAXKEKS PLAY BALL TODAY
Men of Finance to Meet Iron and
Steelworks1 Nine.
At 3 P. M. today on Multnomah Field,
there will be a baseball game between the
Willamette Iron & Steel Works team and
the Bankers' team of Portland. This game
will be good practice for the Bankers and
ought to put them in shape for their
Monday contest with the Seattle bankers.
The game Monday has attracted a great
deal of attention, not only on account of
the personnel of the two teams, but also
from the fact that the proceeds are to
be given to the Open Air Sanitarium.
Many tickets have already been sold,
and it Is hoped the grounds will be filled.
Through the kindness of Miss M. F.
Failing about fifty of the children from
the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society have
been given tickets and will attend in a
body. The game is sure to be interesting
from the standpoint of play, as well, as
there Is intense rivalry between the
teams. Portland bankers defeated their
Seattle brothers last July 4 by a 14 to 8
score. The Seattle team has since won
13 games straight in the Seattle Bankers'
League and are a considerably faster
crowd than they we-e In the early season.

F. X. RUTHIIEU IS STRICKEN
AGED PIONEER CONFINED IN
LOCAL HOSPITAL.
Hardy Settler Who Braved Dangers
of Long Journey to Oregon
"Is Seriously III.
F. X. Matthleu, 91 years of age. who
bears' the distinction of being one of the
first of the pioneers who braved the dan
gers of the transcontinental trip to get
to the old Oregon country, is 111 In St.
Vincent's Hospital. Mr, Matthieu was
brought to this city and placed In
the hospital a few days ago for a trouble
Incidental to his advanced years. His
illness, while confining, is not regarded
as especially serlr.us. and his physicians
say that they hope for his return to his
home, in Butteville, Marion County, with
in Ji few weeks.
Amoiv Oregon's venerable pioneers
who are still living. Mr. Matthieu. so far
as known, stands at the head of the list,
as it is believed U.at there are none now
left of those who accompanied the first
trall-blazlng expedition across the
Rooky Mountains for the Oregon coun
try, which at that time, in 1842, had not
been taken over as a part of the United
States. He Is a French Canadian, hav
ing been born In a small town near Mon
treal. For a number of years he was a
trader for the Hudson's Bay Company,
then the paramount political and com
mercial power In Canada. He left home,
however, during the Canadian rebellion,
and found his way to St. Louis, Mo.,
where for several years he made trips
Into the Northwest for the American
Fur Company. In May of 1842 he joined
the first wagon train which left St. Louis
for the mysterious and unknown "land
of promise" west of the Rockies. Arriv
ing in Oregon in the Fall of that year,
he has remained In the state ever since,
having now had a continuous residence
here of 66 years. He was one of the 103
men of the early settlers who met to vote
on whether they should have the Ameri
can or British authority in these do
mains. He is the only one of those 102
delegates now living.
Mr. Matthieu settled In Marlon County,
where he now owns extensive farms. He
married and had a family of 15 children,
seven of whom are still living. One son,
Stephen Alfred Matthieu. is a prominent
druggist on the East Side. Mr. Matthieu
was a member of the State Legislature
from 1874 to 1878. was County Commis
sioner of Marion County for four years,
and was also a Justice of the Peace in
his home for a number of years. He
joined the Masonic order In Oregon City
in 1855. This was the only lodge in the
state at that time, and he is now the
oldest Mason In Oregon. He is also the
oldest Elk In the state.
BLAZE ON EAST MORRISON
Family Loses Goods and Patrolman
Suffers Severe Burns.
Fire partially destroyed the two-story
frame building at 412 East Morrison street,
at 10 o'clock Iat night. During the pro
gress of the blaze Patrolman Russell of
the first night relief received severe burns
on his right hand and was almost over
come by smoke while examining the
rooms on the upper floor of the building
to ascertain if there was anyone asleep
there.
The first floor was used by a branch of
the- Portland Hat Works, of 249H Alder
street, while the upper floor is occupied
by J. T. Collins and his family. Collins
conducts a saloon next door. He and his
family were out at the theater when the
blaze, which was caused by a fire being
left In the stove, broke out.
The damages amounted' to about t"50
most of this being from the loss of Col
lins' household goods. Four rooms on
the upper floor were gutted. Slight loss
was sustained by the hat works caused
by damage to hats from water.

of the new auditorium, and the second
was at the Tabttha Home, near Fair
view, where a new building waa dedi
cated as a hospital for the aged.
In his fair grounds speech, which
was to a multitude of persons, Mr.
Bryan confined himself mostly to an
appeal to the farmers to take a livelier
Interest In legislation, both state acd
National. He was Introduced in a
short, happy address oy Governor
Sheldon, who has Just been renomi
nated by the Republicans for Governor
and who was captain in Mr. Bryan's
regiment In the Spanish-American War.
Mr. Bryan referred somewhat humor
ously to his own experiences as a sol
dier and said that among the candi
dates for President thla yatr he was
tha only man with a war record.
Addressing h-.mself lr. a serious vein
to the farmers, he said, among other
things:
Too Stingy With Farmers,
i
My frlenda. we are more stingy in making
appropriations for the farmer than for any
other large class of our people. Why, It was
a century after our Government was organ
ised, or about that, before we succeeded In
getting a Department of Agriculture estab
lished. We are the greatest agricultural
country In the world and agriculture is the
greatest lnduatry in our country, and yet,
almost a hundred years elapsed before the
farmer got a seat around the President's
council table.
What will you think when I tell you that
for every dollar we spend on the Agricul
tural Department we spend more than $25
on the Army and Navy? More then 25 aa
much spent in getting ready for ware
ought never to have as we spend on agri
culture. I believe that with more farmers in tha
counclla of the Nation, more farmers pre
pared to exert an Influence upon public
thought through the pen and pencil and by
the tongue, we shall have a change and that
that change will help to retard. If not to
atop, the tendency now from the farm to
the town. The farmers' Influence haa not
been what it ought to have been. Take the
rebates that have built up great centers and
destroyed the smaller towna. Why hava
they been given? Because the farmer has
not had a voice In the regulation of the
railroads.
Farm Great Training School.
And eo I might take up other Questions.
And what is the menace of the centrali
zation of the population in our great cities?
I believe the farm la the great training
school and I know that the people from
the farm have strengthened every 'branch
of business, but my friends. I believe aa
we get away from the country, as we get
farther from the aoll, we are leaa and less
Impressed by these great laws of nature
that ought to have-a controlling Influence
In our Uves. Man. as he lives close to the
soil, Uvea close to God. It la easy to teach
religion to one who sees the miracles per
formed every day. It Is easy to Inspire
regard for the Creator In one who sees
every day the handiwork of the Almighty
and labors constantly amid the mysteries
of natural life. And on these farms we
have been rearing the men and the women
whose Influences have helped to keep' thla
country great and to promote the move
ments which have for their objects the
welfare of the world.
RIDDER SURE BRYAN WILL WIN
German Editor Cheers Candidate
With His Optimism.
FAIRVIEW. Lincoln. Neb.. Sept. 4.
The most Important visitor received by
W. J. Bryan today was Herman Bidder,
one of the Democratic campaign man
agers, who stopped off on his way East.
He brought a very flattering report of the
political situation as he found it In the
West, and particularly among the farm
ers. Mr. Rldder has traveled extensive
ly over the United States since the Den
ver convention and he laid before the
candidate some statistics tending to
show that all the so-called gold and
Cleveland Democrats of any prominence
are this year supporting Mr. Bryan, and
express themselves ready to take the
stump for him. Mr. Rldder said:
PYom careful observation I am now con
vinced that the Democratic National ticket
will he elected thla Fall. I told Mr. Bryan
so. This opinion is not based on wild hopes,
neither does desire away me in forming it.
but It la the result of a careful canvass
made by myself and my friends since the
Penver convention a1Journed. There will be

COMPLETE HOUSEFURNISHERS
many surprises when the reeult of the votes
Is known. I have found in every aectlon of
the country bitter resentment against the
Republican leaders because of the attitude
on the tariff question. Everyone who re
members the experience of those who ap
proached the House and Senate leaders during-
the last se asfon of Cong-rese to urge a re
duction of duty on any article, knows that
there Is no chance of real revision of the
tariff If the Republicans win thla Fall. So
Republicana and Democrats alike who know
the' prosperity of the country and demand
the revision of the tariff will support the
Democratic ticket to bring about thla result.
After conferring with the leadera In Chi
cago I will go directly to New York and will
later take the stump in the East for Bryan
and Kern. The Germans of the country are
going to support the Democratic ticket al
most unanimously this Fall.
Mr. Bryan's notice was attracted to
the dispatch from Middle Bass Island,
wherein it Is stated that Mr. Taft. in.
commenting- upon the result of the Ver
mont election, said he would have been
better pleased had the majority not been
so large. In which event the danger of
Republican over-confidence would have
been lessened. "I know." remarked Mr.
Bryan, "of several sections of the coun
try where the Republicans are not afy
fllcted with over-confidence."
