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.

live hits secured by Seattle, one was re

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,

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.

Plague and Its Cause.
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.

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.

I am at present in Bluff, but intend

"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

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

Irrigation Congress Rejects

Convention Refuses to Protest
Against Reducing Tariff on Phil

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

matter without further investigation.

PUT OWN WOOL ON MARKET
Montana Sheepmen Revolt Against
Kastern Buyers' Methods.
HELENA. Mont., Sept. 7. (Special.)
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.
