CATES GETS HIS REVENGE P'akes Delight in Blanking' Former Teuiii-iate, .Sdcady Work Done 1 by Hartman, but Has No Sup port Oakland "Wins 7 to 0. Of all the aerial excursions under take by the-. Portland baseball team In times of yore, none can compare to the blowup which occurred In the ninth inning on the part of the sev eral Portland players yesterday after noon. Oakland won. The score was J to 3. i One run was all the visitors, were really entitled to and even then that Was scored through errors, for Ilart tnan was pitching good ball for eight Innings and had closed the tribe of Van out with but two dinky hits In the eight- Innings preceding the final spasm. Then he blew up most mis erably. -4 --'--. i For Oakland the old Portland cast off, Eli Gates, who has been twirling good enough ball for the past season o attract the attention of the Wash ington Americans, was on the slab atd took the keenest delight In harrglng the horse collars on the Portland pegs. Eli had excellent control and effectu ally prevented the Beaver batsmen from getting acquainted with the register. He accomplished this much mora-eusiy than had been anticipated, for thc.Jibme team was very frisky for a time, as ;they had not jret had occa sion to forget the victory scored on the previous day. Cates and the Oakland erg -thought, it .high . time -that the wliltej. wings' were trimmed, properly In fcrder for'thrm again to realize that t.tty'"wervla.Mc:nder8p'anL! hopelessly so Ctht - "" Portland Hits ""Well."' Tho home talent secured just as many lilts as did the visitors, but the Oakland fielders failed to deliver the bum heaves and dumb plays so appar ent in the work of "Our Boys." Really, It was surprising that Oakland did not run up a score ot something like 23, 46 -or 69 from the listless manner in which the home team behaved in the Jsf chapter of the game. .The- lint run scored, which was vir tually gift, for no safecrack assist ed the runner in getting around, was registered in the second inning. Truck Kagati sent one to Mott, which Percy boy obligingly heaved out of the lot, ond "Truck" pulled up at second. Heltmuller ducked into a wide shoot and -was allowed to amble. Bliss hit to Fay and Helney was routed at Caseyvtllo-s ' 'Blgbee-'seht- a ' skier to Burdette, and on the out Kugan reg Jstreff'fc'pa'usV HhVtiffah' 'idotisfrly in tercepted the throw to Byrne. Alter that period the little Portland nouthpaw was on his mettle and pitched good ball until the last chap ter. In the meantime Cates was being touched up in spots but was steady when runs were knocking at the door. Jnto the Air in the Ninth. . . In the- ninth Foxy Van and his- Com muting aggregation sent Harty up in the air by a series of bunts, and be fore they got through six runs had been registered and ths fans treated to some of the most miserable baseball the tailenders have ever played. It seemed as though . they had acquired the knack of booting the ball farther than the most erratic team that ever wore uniforms. Sandlot ball would have scintillated in comparison to Portland's - efforts- in that last Inning yesterday. , This afternoon there will be two games played at the Vaughn-street grounds between Portland and Oak land. Long Bobby Groom and "Kid" Pernoll wlJt do the twirling for' Port- lard. while Carnes and Hogan will do the honors for the visitors. .

The really bright feature of Port land's fielding yesterday was the trick Jimmy Byrne and Pearl Casey worked on Brick Devereaux. Bill reached first in the eighth on four that were not over, and was full of ginger as a Dago is ot tobasco. Suddenly Ather ton dashed" In as if for. a bunt, and Casey sneaked up back of the Red Dog1 and Byrne whipped . the ball to the little second sacker, and Dev ereaux was' apprised of the situation when Casey slapped the ball Into his ribs. Bill -was so angry that he said things to Bigbee, 'who waa on the coaching, line. . "Pop" Van Haltren was highly in dignant when the limps informed him that he had failed to negotiate second on an attempted steal in the first canto. Van really said highly Impolite things to "the ancient one. and if he thought to make the official angry, he was sadly mistt.en. Tor Derrick merely laughed in his face. Van was sovo.nilitli-,-.li Ma, endeavors to con-, vice liciulrk :tliar: he was' wrong, that fc;e followed jthe autocrat all the way to tngwliotne piste.-' Derrick picked up the broom to sweep off the plate, but he t found that Van had raised such an at mospheric disturbance that it was not necessary. - . Anson Mott was-'erratic in his throwing yesterday, and his two errors are registered on bum heaves. In the fourth inning Charlie Atherton saved him from being charged with two -more by reaching high in the -air and pulling the ball. down. Atherton's work 'as highly rcredltable In that" In ning.. '-He fumbled a ball In the ninth Inning, but even then would'have got his man had Hartman covered the bag. McCredie, Burdette and Bassey fig ured in three-star plays in the sev enth. Heinty Heltmuller stung one far out in right field, and the ball looked as though It would loosen a plank, but Manager Mac got to it in time and picked it off the fence. Bassey followed this feat by grabbing a hard chance from the bat of Jack Bliss that was ticketed for a couple of sacks, or more, and then came Burdette with his cath of Blgbee's fly. It was the easiest chance of the lot, but the fea ture of it was that Burdette remained where he was when the ball was hit, and by reaching far out did not .move out ot Ills tracks. - Two games are scheduled for this afternoon, and with Bobby Groom and Pernoll doing the twirling, the home team should make a showing before the big crowd expected. The double header Is being played on account of the echcdule having called for a game here last Wednesday, but the Oak land team, coming as it did from Los Angeles, could not reach this city on time. Jimmy Byrne will catch both games for Portland, and the manner In which this little fellow handles the ball Is a pleasure to watch. McCredie made a splendid move when he se cured Byrne to help out after Donny and Moore were Injured. The first game Is called for 2 o'clock. Los Angeles 10; San Francisco 3. SAN FRANCISCO, - Sept. 7.

Superior work all around on the part of the Aberdeen club gave the leaders an easy victory this afternoon. Rush was batted hard at times, while , Higgin bothatn kept his hits scattered. Of the live hits secured by Seattle, one was re corded in each of the first five Innings. Not a Seattle runner got beyond second base, and only once did a runner get that far. Bunched hits in the opening inning gave Aberdeen its runs. Van Buren, Streib and Mahon connected for single? and Anderson for. a two-bagger. In the fifth Brown singled and tallied on Van Buren's two-base hit. In the sixth An derson walked, advanced on Fitzgerald's single and scored on Campbell's infield drive. Five double plays made the game a fast one and interesting for the big crowd which was out. Aberdeen has been batting it a terrific pace at home this week.

MORE CASES DISCOVERED Health Board Establishes New Hos pital I' la hi History of Out break, Its Cause and Heincdy. -Kill the Rats. SAN FRANCISCO, 8ept 7. One ad ditional case of bubonic plague was charted today by the Board of Health and four more suspected cases have been isolated and are under observa tion. The board has authorized the establishment of a temporary hospital camp at Ingleslde. Thither the 750 in mates of the City and County Hospital wlH be removed and the latter build ings old frame structures long ago condemned will probably be buried. Drs. McConkey, Harvey, Manning, Power and President Simon, composing the Board of Health, have submitted their resignations to Mayor Taylor, and it is understood that their successors will be appointed next week. Dissen sion in the board as to the advisability of certain measures proposed for the eradication of the plague and a feel ing on the part of at least one mem ber that the new Mayor should have opportunity to appoint a' board of his own choosing actuated the resigna tions. Cold Facts About Plague. The board, at a meeting today at tended by President Ragensberger, of the State Board of Health, and Colonel Austin, of the Marine Hospital Service, adopted a report of the plague situa tion prepared by Health Officer Wtit kins. It is in part and substance as fol lows: Because alarmist reports which are un warranted ' by the facta regarding the pub lic health of San Francisco have appeared in the public prints of other cities, it is deemed expedient to ctve out' officially to the Associated Press the following state ment of facts, which have been . from the first visible on the bulletin board of the Central Health Office. - The first case of bubonic plague appeared on May 27 at the United States Marino Hospital in a Finnish sailor taken from the tug Wlfcard. Thereafter no cases ap peared in the city until August 12, when two cases were reported from the North Beach district. Immediately the officials of all hospitals and . dispensaries were warned to be on the lookout for similar cum. with the result that to date IS "au thentic casej in all have been reported. UTAH.

There exists today no doubt of the causes of the so-called bubonic plague, nor of the means by whtuh. it may be eradicated. Wherever international commerce exists and in proportion to the volume of that com merce, the rat and the diseases of the rat. one' of which is plague, are bound to ap pear. There are said to be some five va rieties of rat fleas, of which two will bite men. The plague bacillus Is transmitted by the flea of these two varieties to men. Other modes of Infection exist, but are very much less frequent. The common rat is said to propagate every five weeks and thrives In proportion as its surroundings are unsanitary. The problem which confronts the health au thorities then is plain and presents no in surmountable difficulties. All rats caught or found 4ead are ticketed and microsco pically examined. When plague infection is found, the place and locality from which the rodent came is at once subjected to sanl'.ary attack. For this purpose the city has been districted and officered. All Nations Should Fight It. At the International Congress of Phy sicians at Lisbon, Portugal, In 11K)6, it was declared that the safeguarding of communi ties against plague should be an Interna-' tlonal function. Recognizing the validity of this opinion, the Mayor of San Francisco requested the Federal Government to as sume control of the situation here. This request has been granted. Dr. Rupert Blue, of the Marine Hos pital Service, an authority on plague eradication and who has had charge of the sanitation of the Jamestown Ex position, will arrive here from "Wash ington next Tuesday or Wednesday and assume official charge. SAYS HE USED BIG GUN 11. J. Hulnie Causes Arrest of James Mlsner, of Eastern Oregon. James Misner, a young man who ar rived in Portland recently from Eastern Oregon, was arrested last night by De tective Price, and taken to the police station, charged with carrying concealed weapons. Mlsner, it appears, made agree ments for the purchase of an automobile from O. Rudy, a local chauffeur, and as a guarantee ot good faith deposited J3U0, promising to pay $700 September 25. Last night Rudy, Misner- and R. J. Hulme, a chauffeur, took the automobile out for a "spin." in the course of the ride, they stopped to visit at a house on Eajst Seventeenth and Davis streets. Rudy went into the house, while Mlsner and Hulme remained In the car. After a time Mlsner grew impatient, and asked Hulme to drive on to the city. Hulme refused on the ground that he could not use the other man's car, but Misner was persistent In his demands. When Hulme finally refused to drive in, Misner drew a large revolver, Hulnie says, and ordered him to proceed to the city. Hulme asked time to get out and light the lamps, which Misner allowed. Once out of the car Hulme ran, and says that Misner fired at him but missed. Hulme came downtown by streetcar while Misner drove the, automobile in. Hulme reported the case to the police and Detective Price arrested Misner. Misner was released on bail. Main spring, $1, Metzger'a, 342 Wash. Bluff, Utah. July 8, !)07. Mr. J. H. Clark, Portland, Oregon. Dear Sir: I take pleasure in an swering your welcome letter, which I received the tenth of the month. I am at present in Bluff, but intend returning tomorrow morning to the grounds below. "Well, Mr. Clark, relative to the placers all our ground is rich in gold all kinds of it. It must run from $2 to $5 per yard. It beats all, the amount of ground that is here for dredging thousands of acres. .We have one of the best properties under the stars today. If the machinery were installed to work the property it would soon be one of the best payers on earth. The sand and gravel is lined with gold. I am surprised that, the ground having been so rich, some one did not commence working these deposits long, long ago. I don't sea why people don't buy all kinds of stock on such a propo sition as this. Any one cau see the gold here easily. It is so rich that a blind man could see it. I wish I had about $00,000 to put in our property, for I know in one year I would treble my money. Just the water that is passing in the river is filled with very fine gold; I can prove that to any one that comes here. Wishing you success, I will draw to a close for this time. I re main, yours truly, A. D. BURGOYNE. I 1 1 LET POLITICS ALONE Irrigation Congress Rejects Free Lumber Cry. A SUGAR MEN ALSO SNUBBED Convention Refuses to Protest Against Reducing Tariff on Phil ippine Sugar Albuquerque Gets Next Convention. SACRAMENTO, Cal.', Sept. 7.-The effort to have the loth Irrigation Congress pass a resolution presented by Judge Raker, calling for the withdrawal of the duty levied on lumber has failed. Another im portant action of the gathering today was its decision to eliminate a resolution pro testing against the enactment of any further legislation favoring Philippine sugar. With this latter exception, the report of the committee on resolutions was adopted as read and the policy of President Roosevelt and his adminis tration in relation to reclamation, con servation of water and forests and other matters was endorsed. Judge Raker withdrew his motion for the purpose of harmony, but the sugar question was only settled after great dis cussion, the friends of the beet sugar industry making e. strong fight In their interest. The sentiment in favor of elimi nating politics from the congress was responsible for the withdrawal of the lumber and sugar propositions. . Frultmen's Protest Adopted. Arthur Briggs succeeded In getting the congress to pass his resolution in the Interests of California fruitgrowers, in relation to the use of sulphur in drying fruit. The resolution asks the Depart ment of Agriculture not to enforce the regulation of the pure-food law in the matter without further investigation. The congress adopted unanimously the report of the committee on permanent organization. The newly elected officers are: Frank C. Goudy, of Denver, presi dent; George E. Barstow. of Texas, first vice-president; John E. Raker, of Modoc County, California, second vice-president; Herbert E. Strain, of Montana, third vice president; Z. B.

According to prominent sheepmen, the combined efforts of the raisers were not wholly successful in combating the al leged machinations of buyers In Montana this year, but it is believed that a differ ent story will be told next season. As serting that through the combinations and collusions of the buyers for Eastern houses, woolgrowers were defrauded out of $1,000,000 last year, an organization was perfected whereby they hoped to handle their own product in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis and other sulcs centers. Considerably more than one-half of the growers joined the organization, and steps were taken relative to securing storage quarters In the East and the placing of salesmen on the leading mar kets, but it is evident that the time was too short in which to perfect the plans, as buyers for Eastern houses managed to secure not an Inconsiderable portion of the 33,000,000 pounds of wool produced In Montana this year. "We were 'jobbed" just as badly this year us last." . said a prominent sheep man, "but the buyers worked it more smoothly and did not stir up the pro ducers as they have in the past." But the supporters of the movement, which includes the leading sheepmen of the state, are firm in the belief that they will be enabled next year to market their product without the intervention of East ern buyers and thus. effect a large sav ing, for many were compelled to accept a lower figure than the current market quo tations. Despite the fact that Montana's pro duction shows a falling off of 5,000,000 pounds ns compared with the preceding year, this state still holds its prestige as tlie banner one of the Nation. Again, because of better prices, due to improved quality, the net results were far more satisfactory than last year. The Na tional Woolgrowers' Association will meet in Helena in January next.
