and Commending Grout BUI Arc ,
Paused Members Play lively
Ball Game at Astoria
The delegates to the National Food and
Dairy .Comipissloners Convention returned
last "night, after two days' delightful ex
cursion to Astoria and Seaside. They
speak In glowing terms of their trip, and
say that it levealed to them that Oregon
farm- and dairy tracts were as superior
os the'grand scenery. While at Seaside
yesterday the president called a specja
meeting, at which the following resolu-t
tions v:erfe read and adopted.
"Resolved, That the committee on the
proposition of a pure-food law appointed
July 10. he hereby instructed to begin the
work immediately, and to take as the
basis for-such aw the draft of an, act
which has been presented to this conven
tion lay fon. John Hamilton, of Pennsyl
vania, said committee to have this bill
printed and send copies of same to the
several members of this association for
fcEuggestlons, and upon t2ie receipt of these
suggestions said , committee shall convene
nnd Incorporate In the bill such items or
suggestions as may to them seem wise,
and then .present the bill to Congress
when It next convenes.
"Resolved, That this convention of State
Dairy and Food Departments hereby
pledges Its support to the effort to enact
bi-ch a 'bill into a law.
Grout Bill Indorsed.
The delegates felt greatly pleased that
the oleomargarine question has been so
satisfactorily settfed, and passed the fol
lowing resolutions in regard to the Grout
bill:
"The association hereby expresses its
gratification at the passage by Congress
cf the bill taxing colofed oleomargarine
10 cents per pound, and defining and fixing
the status of renovated butter; that the
thanks of the association be tendered to
its legislative committee for its efficient
tervices aiding in accomplishing this re
sult; also to Hon. W. D. Hoard and
Charles Y. Knight, officers of the National
Dairy Union, for their persistent efforts
for the bill; also-to the Senators and Rep
resentatives who advocated and voted for
Us passage; be it further
"Ro&olved, That the thanks of the as
sociation be tendered to the retiring presi
dent and secretary for their faithful la
bors en this bill! to the National Asso
ciation of Official Agricultural Chemists
for valuable assistance rendered In our
efforts to discover and establish proper
standards for foods and food products,
and In improving and unifying methods of
food analysis; and that we earnestly so
licit their continued co-operation."
Dny Spent at the Beach.
The delegates were entertained on Fri
day night it Astoria, and yesterday were
taken to Seaside, where they spent the
day on" the "beach, and Eastern visitors
took their first plunge in the Pacific surf
jIany exclamations of delight and surprise
were heard from the delegates as they
were taken through the fertile fields along
the Lower Columbia. "To me," said Pro
fessor J. H. Shepard, of South Dakota,
as they were returning from the trip,
"today has heen the most gratifying of all.
I have been delighted with the grand
scencrj and the ever-pleasant climate; but
I could not help thinking all of the time
that these mountains and rugged hills
would not do for grazing or that there
could be no farming on them. Today I
have seen the other aspect of Oregon ad
vantages, and I am now convinced that
the "West is resourceful as well as grand."
Today the 'delegates will accept an Invi
tation from R. Scott to visit his fruit and
dairy farm near Milwaukie. Tomorrow
they w ill take a trip to the State Agrlcul
taral School at Corvallis.
A committee of Portjand people accom
panied the delegation to Astoria, and will
clso he with them on their trip tomorrow.
They are as follows: Hon. W. H. "Wea
ning and -wife, R. C. Judson, M. 1?. Wis
dom, Richard Scott. -Mrs. "W. "W. Morse,
Misses Margaret L. Beharrell, Margaret
F. Bailey and Edith C. Blasdell.
Delegates Play Baieball Game.
A baseball game between the delegates
to the National Convention of the Pure
Food and Dairy Commission Association
was played Friday at Astoria, and for two
hours a large crowd witnessed the most
amusing exhibition of the National sport
that had ever been given in the North
west. Age, dignity and superfluous flesh
were forgotten, and delegates of every de
scription wore called upon to make up the
two opposing nines, and there waa not
one that refused to play. The game was
to settle a dispute that had arisen while
the delegation was crossing the continent
as to the ability of the members in the
different cars in the baseball line. So
loudly had each faction sounded its own
praises that when they went into the
game it was with a grim determination to
make good their previous "boasts.
The line-up was as follows:
Front car Scott Bnham, Ohio, center
field; J. E. Blackburn, Ohio, second base;
E. E. Kaufman, North Dakota, catcher;
H. A. Snow, Michigan, pitcher; M. Helner,
"Utah, first base; R. E. Doollttle, Michigan,
shortstop; E. M. Eaton. Illinois, left field;
J). O. Grovner, Michigan, third base; D. S.
Sherwood, South Dakota, right field.
Rear car C. F. J. Agle, Illinois, first
"base; . A. Franklin, Illinois, pitcher;
Ed Elsendrath, Illinois, shortstop; F. M.
Condlt, Illinois, catcher; H. B. Myers, Illi
nois, second base; S. H. "Wehrung, Ore
gon, third base; R. M. Allen, Kentucky,
left field; Herman Harmes, Utah, right
field; H. M. Ticknor. Illinois, center field.
During their long and tiresome ride
across the continent, when other topics of
conversation were exhausted. Snow of
Michigan and Doollttle of Michigan start
ed in to convince the delegates that they
were baseball players of exceptional abil
ity. They were both at the same game,
"but in different cars. "When SnOw heard
that his adversary in the next car was
working his game he proclaimed that he
was the best man on the excursion, aud
that the people in his car could beat the
people in the next car at a game of ball.
Doollttle accepted the challenge and the
work was begun of organizing the teams
to contest, upon reaching the Coast. A
canvass -was made for players, and all
showed a willing spirit. Blackburn of
Ohio said: 'I haven't played for 38 years,
and with all my fat I may have some
trouble running, but I used to be a hum
mer." Myers of Illinois wears glasses, and
couldn't remember having run for 16
years, but he was bound to uphold the
honor of his car. Patterson .of Illinois
and Captain" Kblley. of Chicago, who dur
ing the entire trip were contesting for
the title. "Prince of Joshers." Jollied up
the enthusiasts, and so the excitement
.grew. On the way from Portland to As
toria Friday the quarrel was again taken
up, and upon the arrival in Astoria they
repaired to the Astoria Football Club
Park and had it out. The entire party
accompanied the players, and several of
the Astoria people saw that there was
"something doing" and Joined the happy
crowd. The Interest could not have been
greater If the game bid. "been for the
championship of the Northwest, and as
each man came to the bat he was cheered
and cheered or unmercifully joshed, ac
cording to the mood of 4the spectators.
Details of the Contest.
There was some trouble as to an um
pire, but finally a supposed disinterested
man was found and the game started.
Blackburn came to the bat, and, much
to the astonishment of the spectators, and
still more to his own astonishment, land
ed a -fair hit. Then came the trouble.
It was, easy to hit the ball, but now he
had to Tun to first, and running was a
part of .the game he had not counted on.
He set hjs teeth, however, and In his
very graceful manner commenced the
Journey.; After some fumbling In the field
the ball was thrown to first just as the
heavy-weight from Ohio arrived at his
destination.
"You're out'- said the umpire.
"I'm not." said the Ohio man. "Think
you Til run all of this distance to be
called out oh as close a call as that?"
The umpire stood his ground, and tha
two sides took up the quarrel. The crowd
soon Joined .in, and the umpire selz "
ballbatand backed up to the fence, anx
iously awaiting a time when he could
again vonturo forth into the anjfry mob.
The matter w,as finally settled, and again
the game was on.
Umpire Thrown Oat.
All went smoothly until Scott Bonham,
of Ohio, made a famous two-bagger, but
upon making second got off his base and
was touched out by Myers. He refused to
lose his long run, and again thefc scene
of angry confusion was repeated. Thls
time it was decided that a new umpire
was needed, and the umpire was marched
from the flold in disgrace.
Again the game was resumed, but with
little success. The dolegates were out for
fun, and It soon became evident that It
was more fun to argue and quarrel than
it was to play ball, and the remainder
of the game was well Interspersed with
oratory and protests. Judge .Hogan, of;
Chicago, was scofekeeper, and his car
won the game by a score of 15 to 1. The
winners made the best of their victory,
and the haughty contempt with which
they greet every suggestion of a ball
game from their vanquished opponets has
eliminated all baseball talk from among
the pure-ood delegates.
HE'D BE SAFE IN SEATTLE
IVIiy Tracy Is Headed for the Sound
City.
Pendleton East Oregonlan.
A question which appeals to the philo
sophic mind at the present time Is tho
reason for convict Tracy's very apparent
desire to remain in the vicinity of the
City of Seattle
It seems strange that In the face of
such ever-present and constantly Increas
ing danger as now threatens him, he
should persist in returning to the very
outskirts of the big- Sound city after hav
ing been forced" to flee time and again by
the minions of the ,law.
It would sepm'that he would, after steal
ing the boat from Madison Point, have
fled on to the north Instead of rowing
south to Renton. where he turned up so
suddenly while the police and posse were
earnestly searching for him in an entirely
different direction.
To the north the country was sparsely
settled, heavily timbered, and that was
led to Canada and practical freedom. To
the south the country fairly swarmed with
people who regarded Tracy In the same
light as a mad dog. and each of whom
was bent on his deaths Yet the convict, in
the face or all this apparent danger, fled
southward.
This exact reversal of the tactics which
he was expected to use may be classed
by some as generalship, but when one
stops to think it becomes apparent that
Tracy is laying himsolf open to such uncalled-for
danger in. a frantic effort to en
ter the City of Seattle and reach his
friends among the lower element of that
city.
"We have all seen a snake, surprised
by human foe, leave the bit of shrubbery
In which it was practically safe from
harm, and race directly toward its human
enemy, and perhaps to destruction, in a
frenzied effort to reach the hole under
the rocks which it regarded as home and
the only really secure hiding place.
So with Tracy. For years Seattle was
honored by his residence and dishonored
by his crimes. Practically every mem
ber of the undercrust fraternity of that
great city stands his friend. Away from
Seattle he is alone and must cope with
the Sheriff and posse as best he may, with
perhaps slight assistance from friends.
Once within its limits the entire tender
loin district becomes one vast cloak to
hide his movements. His tracks, should
he walk the streets, would be obliterated
almost immediately, and bloodhounds
could not follow his trail 10 feet.
Once within the confines of Seattle's
tenderloin Tracy is far safer than in the
deepest mountain fastness of Canada, for
only a simultaneous search of every house
in the disreputable quarter could hope to
locate him; he can be well supplied with
the necessities and luxuries of life by his
friends, and eventually stowed away on
eome vessel which will take him to free
dom In a foreign land.
It is noticeable that from the very day
of his scape Tracy's every effort has
been to reach Seattle From Salem he
made almost a bee-line for that point.
Portland was a large place, and afforded
ample opportunity for hiding, but It did
not contain as many of his friends as Se
attleand It was not home.
Tracy is trying to reach home, and,
like the frightened snake, he is running
squarely into danger Jn order to do so.
"Whether he will succeed in entering hla
haven of safety is a question which only
time can decide. It is to be hoped he will
not. ,
