LAUDS BOYS' BALL LEAGUE
ritOPKSKOK KROHX SAYS IT I)E
VKLOPS MA.NMXKSS.
I rges rnrcnts to Promote Iho Plaj
Instinct levelops Truth, Too,"
Says V. Bristol.
Hohrrt Krohn, who has charge of the
physical culture department of the
Portland public schools, by Invitation
addressed the Mothers' and Teachers'
i'it of the Brooklyn School at the
meeting Friday afternoon about the
newly organized Orammer School
IjpHgrue. Mr. Krohn said It was a sub
ject very near to his heart because of
the good Influence the league Is ex
pected to have on the boys. Baseball
and other athletic sports, he said, were
only a means to an end. which Is to de
velop mnnly character and promote
lnt lies t y In all lines. Mr. Krohn said
one purpose of the league was to pro
mote r spirit of fairness.
"By carrying out our regular base
ball, football, aquatic and athletic pro
gramme.' he said, we. hope In a meas
ure to develop the play instinct In boys
and (tlrls In a general way. Since or
ganising this league I .have had tele
phone messages from a number of girls
of various schools, who would like me
to organize a lengue mf some sort of
games for them, such as basketball,
tennis and even baseball, which we
hope to do at some future time. Too
often we find children .with little or no
desire to play games of any kind, this
condition belna- due to lack of oppor
tunity: or parents may have neglected
to Instill Into their children the play
Interest, whjch is so necessary to their
happiness and which is the best means
for developing a cheerful and happy
and contented disposition.
"Now. some mothers I know think
It uti dignified for their daughters to
play out on the grounds, while their
sons are equally restricted and cau
tioned not to play with this or that
boy. I do not mean by tins that the
parent should not be partic ular with
whom their children associate. T am
very particular about that myself, yet
n means should nevertheless be found
which will allow children to enjoy
clean, healthful games. The deslro Is
present in all healthy children and
should be fostered and encouraged in
every possible manner, as nothing will
do more for their good health and
morals than well-directed games and
piny. Try to keep your boys from the
coarser temptations of the street cor
ners, cheap vaudeville shows, etc., and
you will earn their gratitude when they
are old enough to realize all you hitve
done for them. Give them plenty of
good healthful exercise, keep them
busy, listen to their talks about how
this or that boy won a race, how his
best friend curves a ball or how his
team won out in a hot contest.
"I have ben conducting this work
in the Portland schools f oi 15 years
and during that time have met many
people who thought it a fad or worse,
but our practical demonstrations have
prjven the opposite and I find few par
ents who object to their children tak
ing part In these exercises. (In con
clusion I desire to say that it is our
intention in order to finance the ague
to hold a monster public exh!bit:on,
but of that you will hear later on."
At the conclusion of Mr. Krohn's ad
dress ex-Urited States District At
torney W. C. Bristol spoke on 'The
Power of Truth." Mr. Bristol attributed
lack of truth as the true reason for
corruption and graft ir. public places,
and urged parents to inculcate truth
in their children.
Will Not Come for One Game.
Owjng to Ihe inability of the 1'niver
sity of Oregon baseball team to complete
a schedule of several games in Portland,
the contest scheduled for the 'U" against
the lads of Columbia University tomor
row ' has been cancelled. The Oregon
team was to have played games with Hill
Military Academy and the St. John Trl
City League team, but both these dates
foil down, and the management decided
to cancel the other date as well.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY", April 18.
In a meet full of form reversals and
surprises California won the inter
collegiate contest from the Cardinal
a thletes this afternoon by a score of
6.1 2-5 to 58 3-5. Not until Vilas had
secured place in the broad Jump was
victory assured to the representatives
of the state Institution.
The prospects for a Stanford victory
were blighted early In the meet when
Reed, who wss counted on as a winner
in both sprints. Injured the leg which
has been bothering him of late and
was forced out of the race, giving first
In the 100 yards to Stanton, the Cali
fornia captain.
Stanton Breaks Jlccord.
The quartf r-mlle proved to be all
that was expected, Stanton winning in
iiO.2, breaking the intr-eollegiate: rec
ord by 3-5 of a second, after a heart
breaking struggle with Brown, Stan
ford's phenomenal freshman runner.
Brown retrieved himself In the half by
winning from Dowd In 1:59.2, lowering
the former record by 3-5 second.
Bradford, of Stanford, broke the
previous record of 4:33.3 in the mile by
covering the distance In the remark
ably fast time of 4:32.3. In this race

The relay race was one of the most
exciting events of th day and resulted
In the smashing-of the former record
by the Stanford team, composed of
Morris. Connan, Brown and Wyman.
the time being 3:27.1 Brown was
largely responsible for the ten yJrds
by which the Berkeley relay team lost
this race
A new record of 25.3 was established
in the 220-yard hurdles when Horton
S and Johns (S) tied for first.
The biggest surprise of the day came
In the two-mile run. In which Sanford
had three entries, with records of 10:13
or better, while the California two
mllers had never done better than
J0:30. !n spite of this gain Cali
fornia won the event In 10:23, Adams
taking second and being the only one
of the Stanford's to gain a place, the
record-holder suddenly became sick
while running and was unable to finish.
Only three California men qualified
for the finals of the hammer throw.

OLDTIMK STARS WITH FRAKES
Schmeer, Faye and Kirby Drennen
to Help Against Vancouver.
The Frakes and the Vancouver teams
of the Tri-City league, after being dis
appointed in their effort to pull off a
scheduled game yesterday, will try it
again this afternoon. The game will
take place1 at the Vaughn-street grounds,
providing Jupiter Pluvius behaves him
self. The game will be called promptly
at 2:30 o'clock.
Manager Whitehead of the Frakes has
added Claude Schmeer, shortstop of the
Portiand Pacific Coast League team of
1H03, who first won his spurs as a ball
tower while with the famous Portland
Monograms, who participated in a news
paper league contest In California and
won second place. Schmeer has. been out
of the game for three years, but has
kept himself in condition to play by
practicing regularly. Joe Fay. another
former Monogram player, will play second
base, and Kirby Drennen will hold down
left garden. Tim Concannon will probably
heave them over for the Vancouver bunch
and as he is rated as one of the best
pitchers in the Tri-City League, the
league leaders will have some difficulty
In solving his puzzlers if he is right. Van
couver will also play a new man named
Hatch, an outfielder of considerable
promise, who was recently secured by
Manager Helser. The teams will line up
a follows:

20c PER SHARE
SPECIAL NOTIGE
To the Stpckholders of THE NORTHWESTERN EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT
CO., of the United States and the Public in General:
The company has recently secured 400,000 acres of hardwood tim
ber, situated on the Pacific Coast, and accessible by an exceptional deep
river system. This immense and valuable tract contains more than four
billion feet of the finest kind of hardwoods, high-priced, merchantable
timber, and the cost to the company is less than twenty cents per
thousand feet.
Among the best qualities of this timber we mention lignum vitae,
mahogany, balsam copoeba, cocoa bola, espava, mangrove, etc. The
average price of this timber by the board foot is over one hundred dol
lars per thousand feet. The company proposes to install a mill of suf
ficient capacity to meet the present demand for, this fine lumber, which
is enormous.
In order to secure the necessary capital for this purpose, the board
of directors has authorized the sale of 500,000 shares .of the treasury
stock, of a par value of $1.00, for twenty cents per share.
It is important to note here that each twenty cents invested in n
share of this stock is secured by 1000 feet of standing, high-grade, mer
chantable timber, valued at more than $100. Here is an investment for
rich and poor alike. There is absolutely no risk attached to it. The
company could, at this time, dispose of this timber at a good profit as it
stands, but after thoroughly investigating every detail through experts,
the board of directors deem it advisable to the best interests of all con
cerned to install a mill, thereby securing the largest profits obtainable.
We are already assured of contracts with firms throughout the coun
try, who will purchase a large portion of our output, and at' prices which
will net us profits that are remarkable.
Persons interested and desiring to invest their money in a safe, big
dividend-paying business, will do well to investigate this opportunity.

he was a star catcher, but Dug has ac
cumulated so much embonpoint that
the attempt wae a failure. The Mayor
sent the ball within 10 feet of the bat
ter and the season was open.
It was Seattle's game until the ninth,
when Butte brought in two runs and
tied the score. Then the visitors
shoved two more across In the tenth

SEATTLE, Wash.. April 18. (Special.)
That some day burial will be out of
fashion arrd the relatives of those that
have gone before will preserve the bodies
in the shape of Indestructible statues. Is
the assertion of H. W. Beatley, secretary
of the Pacific Coast Silica Clay Com
pany, which has a vast deposit of silica
Just across the Columbia River from Lyle,
WasS.
This silica acts as a preservative of
both trees and animal flesh, turning such
substances Into stone within a few
months. It has" been determined that it
will turn a human body Into stone also,
preserving every feature perfectly Just as
though it were white marble. In proof of
his statements. Beatley exhibits several
specimens of wood which have been thus
treatefl.
Beatley declares that the burial of hu
man bodies is a custom that will pass
away. Good ground is too valuable to
be used as cemeteries and the cremation
process is not destined to be popular,
he says.

KNOCSK OCT "JKWKX" SMITH IN
FIFTH ROL'ND AT PARIS.
American Shows Superior Skill Has
South African Beaten From the
Start Big Crowd Attends.
PARIS, April 18. Tommy Burns, the
American heavyweight piiRllwt, knocked
out "Jewey" Smith, the South Af rlcan
boxer, here tonight in the fifth round of
what was scheduled to be a ten-round
bout.
The meeting of Burns and Smith was
the biggest affair of the kind ever held
In Paris, where something of a crazo for
boxing exists at present. It was wit
nessed by a bit crowd, who paid high
prices for their seats.
Smith was a beaten man from the start,
although he scored several ' heavy body
blows in the first ami second rounds. The
American showed much more skill than
his opponent and after playing light with
him, floored Smith with a left handcr in
the third round.
In the fourth round Burns had mat
ters all his own way. fmlth was knocked
down twice, but managed to get to his
feet before the count ended. In the fifth
he rallied gamely after taking severe
punishment, hut he could not succeed In
reaching the agile" Burns, who ended the
one-sided match with a terrific right
to the Jaw, which put Smith to the floor
and out.
Almost a panic was caused at the end
of the third round when a moving picture
camera exploded, setting fire to the flags
and decorations. Scores of the specta
tors leaped to their feet, but they were
prevailed upon to remain In their places
and the fire was speedily extinguished.

enters the primary election, to support
the nominee of his party, when fraud does
not enter Into such election and procure
the nomination. The press and my op
ponents have accorded me the fairest and
most Impartial treatment, and the con
sideration and Well wishes and support
given me by the public are a sourc of
very great pleasure to me. for all of
which I am deeply grateful. I stated dur
ing the campaign I would support the
nominee, and desire now to reiterate this
statement. HENRY 8. WESTBROOK.
