FAVORITES IN THE SPRINTS Athletes From Pacific States Ex pected to Give Good Account of Themselves In National Championships. Next Saturday the biggest event In amateur sports this year will take place at the Jamestown Exposition. The occasion will be the holding- of championship Amateur Athletic Union games on field and track, which Is ot interest to athletes in all portions of the country ' The approach of the contests arouses renewed interest in the Pacific North west and the Pacific Coast, for the rea son that two Oregon men and one Cal Ifornian are about to compete for the championship with the cracks of the Eastern universities. Dan Kelly, of Baker City, and For rest Smithson, of Portland, are the Oregon mercuries, while Charles Par eons, winner of the world's champion ship at the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion, completes the Western trio who are to uphold the honor of this section against the champions of the East who boast an easy victory over the fleet footed runners from the "wild and woolly West." Any one of the trio who are travel ing 3000 miles to compete against the vaunted prowess of the East can be expected to' trample the hopes of Chi cago, New Orleans. New York and the other Eastern resorts in the dust. In a letter to T. Morris Dunne, Ed ward K. Morgan, who was the crack sprinter of the Multnomah Club sev eral years ago, has the following to say about the 100 and 220-yard dashes at. the Jamestown Exposition: "In the 100-yard dush, Parsons Is tie favorite, but Kelly and Smithson are both thought of favorably. Carl M. Korllne, of St. Louis, has made 9 4-5 this year, and is considered a good 10 3erond man. Georjje H. Queyrouse, of New Orleans, is considered in the Southern metropolis a very fast man, and has made 9 4-5. but was a failure in the Olympic games at Athens, and here in New York they do not rate him very highly. W. D. Eaton, of Boston, has been credited with 9 4-5, but is in poor condition now. and is not ex pected to get into the- finals. C. H. J. Seltz, for several years past, has been a good 10-second man, but recently W. J. Keating beat him 5 feet In 10 1-5, and after this feat Keating came in last in a race, which was won by a youngster who came from the S-yard mark in 10 seconds. Selts and Claigh ton are both good 10-second men, but are now either out of condition or over-trained, and can be beaten in 10 1-5. H. J. Huff and J. Vickery. of Chicago, are both good 10-second men, but are not expected to do any better than that. The same Is true of F. t. Lakeman, of Montreal. Dennis Murray is the present champion sprinter of Ireland. He is a good 10-second man, and Is expected to get a. plirce at Jamestown. So much for the 100 yards. "Dan Kelly is the favorite In the" 223, with Parsons, of California, and Huff, of Chicago, close seconds. Carl M. Forline, of St. Louis, is considered dan gerous, c. H. J. Seltz was beaten re cently in -2 4-5. W. J. Keating cannot beat 22 3-5. L. Robertson. of New York, is a good 22 3-5 seconds man in this event. Lakeman, of Montreal, and Queyrouse. of New Orleans, may sur prise us, but they are not expected to be dangerous. R. Cloughen. of New York, is a good man. but is over trained and, in all probability, will not start in the event. "The 220-yard track at Jamestown is stralght-away, and is in perfect Con dition. If the weather is clear 22 sec onds should be beaten. "Dan Kelly Is also the favorite in the broad Jump. E. T. Cooke and Myer Prinstein. of New York, are both good for 23 feet. Dennis Murray; of Ire land, is another man who is expected to do 23 feet. There are some dark horses In this event, but Kelly should win easily." HOOTERS WITH KELSO TEAM Visitors Will Have -Some, Supporters Among Crowd at Game Today. The Kelso ball team, accompanied by a large crowd of rooters, arrived In Portland last night prepared - to give battle to the L. s. Frakes team for the supremacy in the Trl-Clty League. Kelso now occupies the top place among the teams of the popular local league, and has won its position by hard work. Previous to the arrival of the Tigers It had been announced that Erickson would pitch for them against the Frakes today, but this is denied by the visitors, who announce that the crack Spokane twirler has gone to some other league. Hull, their clever southpaw, will probably pitch today's game, which will be played at the Vaughn-street grounds. Califf, of the Portland team, is scheduled to pitch for the Frakes, and a rattling good game should be in order. If the Frakes win today they will assume the lend and put Kelso in third place, while if the visitors cap ture the honors, they will have a firm er grip on the Trl-Clty pennant. GO.SS DEFEATS WICKERSHAM Important Contest in Irvliigton Ten nis Tournament. Brandt Wickersham,' one of the crack tennis players of the-city, was defeated yesterday afternoon In the Irvington Tennis Club's tourney, by Goss, another crack man.

SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 31. (Spe cial.) Seattle won again today be cause they got off in front in the first inning and the dauber of the Hoo Hoo bunch, once down, couldn't be raised again 'with a derrick. - A aeries of mishaps and a bunch of hits in the . first inning gave Seattle three runs, and though Aberdeen hovered around the dangerous line, the Black Cats never showed anything of the championship form that illuminated their work throughout the year. Boet tiger, subbing for the pugilistic Spen cer, who has a two weeks' lay-off . as a result of his fight with Howletts, played rings around "Stub" in the re ceiving station, but that did not count. So did Dode Brinker show up Julie Streib at first, but Aberdeen's winning combination was broken, and the Gray's Harbor bunch could not win. Arbogast played first today, and HIckey was back at third for Seattle, probably for the last time before he goes to work hoeing potatoes for a living. Rush pitched swell ball. The score: R. H. E.

IS NEARLY DOWN' TO WEIGHT I Gans Stops Boxing Practice Britt Stores Vp Energy. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Aug. 31. Cham pion Joe Gans is witnin two pounds of the 133 ringside weight, and his manager, Ben Sellg, has ordered him to cut out boxing in future. This is done in order to elimi nate all possibility of any injury to his hands, which would be a serious draw back at . this late stage. The champion never looked in better trim, and he says, he Is as strong and as active as he ever was. Road work will be his chief train ing stunt in future, in order to keep hls weight down and also to perfect his breathing. Britt Is doing merely out-of-door work for this fight, as he wishes to enter the ring full of stored-up vitality, so that he can set a terrific pace. The moving pictures which were taken of the two clever lightweights in train ing will be put on exhibition next week. Judging by the advance sale of seats, which opened today, all of the choice seats will, be disposed of before the men enter the ring a week from Monday. CHEGKPA3SER SENTENCED B. FA YE RECEIVES INDETERMI NATE SENTENCE. Will Serve Not Less Than One Nor Store Than Five Years for De frauding Clothing Dealer. B. Faye was given an indeterminate sentence In the penitentiary by Judge Cleland yesterday. That means not less than one year nor more than five years. Faye passed a worthless check for $31.55 on Paul Strain, getting In return a suit of clothes valued at $15 and $16.55 in cash. The check was drawn on .the United States National Bank and when presented for payment was thrown out as worthless. Faye's only defense was that he had been drinking and that when under the in fluence of liquor he Is entirely oblivious of his actions. He will be taken to Salem the beginning of the week, as he re quested the Sheriff to permit him to re main over a day or two to arrange some affairs before starting in on his imprison ment. Last October Faye was released from the penitentiary after serving a sentence for a similar offense. Court Notes. No sessions of court will be held to morrow. Labor day. All the various offices in the courthouse will be closed. C. P. Morse. W. J. Makeltm, Sander son Reed. J. H. Devlin and W. A. Fire baugh have been appointed notaries public.

The Days were married in Portland In October, 1903. COMPLAIN OF HIGH PRICES And About Refusal of Dealers to X'sc Small Change. PORTTjAND, Auk. 31. (To the Editor.) t would like to aek you to answer through your, columns a few question?. The Chamber of Commerce and other organizations who aim to make known to the outside world the grandeur and beauties of our glorious Oregon and the golden opportunities It affords to immigrant who are Industrious, all of which is true. ak us to write letters to our Kast ern frienda and induce them to come out here to settle. No one in Portland loves this state and its Rose City better than I do. No one would sing Its praisea louder, and I have done so, eo often that I was toid I ought to be employed by an immigration bu reau and sent Kast to tell of our wonderful land of opportunities'. I want to ask you. are -we to let the?e Kastern friends of ours know some of the difficulties, hardships that many of us living here have to contend with? I wrote last night to friends in Chicago, worthy, respectable per sons, most desirable citizens; and after I had posned my letter, which praised my city and State of Oregon, my coiscience reproached me. Why? Because I thought of the wood or fuel com bine the milk combine, the grocery combine and last and not least the butter com bine. I thought was It fair to ask or Induce people to pull up stakes In the Bast and come out here and settle in Portland amid all these combines? Some people will come to Port land to stay here and will not like those high prices. It takee time for the best of those who settle In Portland to get positions, and while waiting for a position there Is no In come. Money is going out fast and if those people protest, get discouraged, or write back to their friends about the high cost of living, they are "knockers" or not "desirable." The way grocers overcharge la scandalous. Many articles not worth more than 10 cents are two for a quarter. If you want only one you must pay 15 cents for It. The Portland grocer will not accept pennies In trade, but on such a sale he grafts 2 cents and he has hundreds of auch sales daily. A woman wants a spool of thread, the price of which is 6 cents In the department stores. The grocer will not take 6 cents; it's two for 15 cents or JO cents for one. That Is extortion and should be punished or a law passed to compel grocers to accept legal tender. Why do the Councllmen not frame a bill and pass it to make grocers give and take pennies In trade? The Eastern peo ple find fault with this system and justly so. Recently a woman who lived here a while felt so chagrined that she wrote to an Easfern paper and though she said much that was not true of Portland1, she certainly had reasons to complain of many things. What are we going to do about these high prices? We are not all wealthy, and must live. There is much prosperity, but with those high prices the wageeamer "can save nothing and some of us meet with unexpected reverses, caused by death of breadwinners In the family or failures of savings banks. You helped to have the price of gas reduced; try to h-3lp break those combines in our city. It will be for the good of all. A PORTLAND WOMAN. APPLE BELT OF SOUTHERN IDAHO.

HOPES ARE RAISED Striking Telegraphers Receive New Encouragement. CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS Labor Organizations Assure Them Active Support and Railway Op erators Vote Financial Aid A Merger May Be rornied. With assurance of the active support of every labor organization in Portland and news that an assessment of $1 has been -levied on each of the 40,000 members of the Order of Railway Telegrphers as a contribution to their strike fund, the striking commercial telegraphers of this city were more jubilant yesterday than they have been any day since the walk out was called nearly a month ago. Most of the strikers who left the telegraph offices in this city have obtained other employment, but there were smiles of complete satisfaction on the countenances of those who were found at the local headquarters in the Esmond Hotel yester day. A bulletin was yesterday received at the strikers' headquarters from Chicago an nouncing that a movement had been launched for the amalgamation of the Order of Railway Telegraphers and the Commercial Telegraphers' Union of America. For this consolidation of the two organizations the name Order of Railway and Commercial Telegraphers has been suggested. This proposed mer ger of the two unions is warmly ap proved of by the striking telegraphers here. They recognize In such a union a strength that would command an early adjustment ot all grievances that might arise. All Are Out In Montana. Another bulletin was received yesterday from Helena, Mont., to the effect that not a single union telegrapher is working in either the Western Union, Postal or As sociated Press offices In that state. A committee from the strikers, includ ing a railway telegrapher, yesterday called at the Western Union office and presented a challenge for a public discus sion of the strike and its merits. The invitation to debate the issues was de clined. At a meeting of the Federated Trades Council Friday night a committee, con sisting of four of the striking telegraphers and six members of the Federated Trades, was appointed to visit each of the 49 separate labor unions affiliated with the Trades Council. The mission, of the com mittee is to enlist the assistance of or ganized labor In every possible way in behalf of the telegraphers during the strike. The striking telegraphers are arranging to participate in the Labor day demon stration tomorrow. They are preparing banners that will be carried in the parade. Tnere will not be many of the operators in line, for the reason that fully 50 per cent of the strikers have left the city for the hopfields. Many of the others have accepted employment in this city, one of them taking a position as shipping clerk with the Standard Oil Company. But all who can do so have agreed to meet at headquarters at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning so as to take their place In the parade which is sched uled to move at 10 o'clock. Have Operators Enough. At both the Western Union and the Postal offices the managers report that the business Is well in hand with a suffi cient number of competent operators to handle all messages that are offered. This claim is ridiculed by the strikers, who declare that it is an exaggerated statement. They assert that the tele graph companies are not doing a fourth of their normal business, and such as is being handled is greatly delayed In trans mission. Although they have been advised not to Interfere with business passing through their offices and to receive all Western Union business that is offered, the railway telegraphers are very gener ally disregarding these instructions, and by so doing are materially assisting to cripple the telegraph business of the coun try. As an instance of this interference and the unsatisfactory, service that re- Rlllta a tplftfrrnm n-rlttAn nn a Woatarn Union blank, was filed at Gohle at 7!:! o'clock last Tuesday night for Seaside, a distance of less than 80 miles. This message had not been delivered yester day. Message Is Long Delayed. A striking operator yesterday gave an other purported instance of the delays to which messages are subjected, saying: "C. S. Shea, whose office is In room 322 Abington building. Saturday. August 24, sent a message to Nelllsville, Wis., in which he said to his client there that a large tract of timberland had been sold, and he wanted the deeds and abstracts sent immediately. When he left the mes sage with the Western Union he asked them if prompt service would be given the message and was assured that it would not be delayed. That was the last he heard from the message until today, when he received a letter from Neiils ville, Wis., dated the 27th, saying the message had Just been received that date by mail from Chicago. "Mr. Shea doubts very much if the deal will go through, and today served notice on the Western Union management that in case it did not he would file suit for a large sum of money against that company."

If by proper selection of food one can feel strong and fresh at the end of a day's work, it is worth while to know the kind of food that will produce this result. A school teacher of Media, Kan., says in this connection: "I commenced the use of Grape-Nuts food five months ago. At that time my health was so poor that I thought I would have' to give up my work altogether. I was rapidly losing in weight, had little ap petite, was nervous and sleepless and experienced, almost constantly, a feel ing of exhaustion. I tried various rem edies without good results, then I de termined to give particular attention to my food, and have learned" some thing of the properties of Grape-Nuts for rebuilding the brain and nerve cen ters. "I commenced using that food, and have since made a constant and rapid improvement in health in spite of the fact that all this time I have been en gaged in the most strenuous and ex acting work. "I gained 12 pounds in weight, and have a good appetite, my nerves are steady and I sleep sound. I have such strength and reserve force that I feel almost as strong and fresh at the close of a day's work as at the be ginning. "Before using Grape-Nuts I was trou bled mucj with weak eyes but as my vitality increased my eyes became stronger. I never heard of any other food as nutritious and economical as Grape-Nuts."
