A GOOD SIGN.
Harrlman intends to sell Southern
Pacific lands to actual settlers and
not to speculators. He says so him
self and Oregon peoeple may hopo
It will bo done. Ho also remarks
that Oregon needs some way of open
ing tho land granted to military
road companies. Oregon has known
the latter evil and felt It deeply for
years. Sho knows she needs some
way to open those grants to settle
ment. The trouble is sho hns not
been very honestly served in public
ofllco else the men who have been
keeping these holders of wagon road
and military road grants would have
used their brains to think out and
put Into legislative enactment some
salutary law, to mako tho holding of
vast tracts of land Impossible. Such
a law If properly framed could easily
favor nil legitimate timber manu
facturing or grazing enterprise and
It has been tho practice In sonio sec
tions of tho world to employ the
weapon of taxation against mere
speculation and to modify the provi
sions for tho benefit of active and
honest industry.
It will be a piece of good fortune
for Oregon if Mr. Harrlman will set
tho pace for other companies by dis
posing of tho Southern Pacific com
pany's lands to actual settlors. It
will also put money Into tho com
pany's treasury which wo may hope
will be used in extending railroads
Into tho isolated districts of tho
stato. These land grants for roads
liavo been a curso to the Pacific
coast. Fraud has been tho most dis
tinctive featuro of most of them In
ono form or anothor and tho stato
las dorlved llttlo or no benefit from
any ono of them. They have rested
as a dead weight on tho spirit of tho
people, discouraging onterpriso and
barring progress.
"Yes," said Ed. Jones of the
Pioneer Hardware, "I won the game
in the last frame of the twelfth in
ning, doing It on a single which
brought in three runs. You see, it
was this way.' Merced and Modesto
were tied for 1st place up to this,
the last and deciding game for the
championship of the San Joaquin
valley league. The game was played
at Modesto. The feeling was so in
tense between tho two towns that it
looked as though it might all end
up in a row, and talk about
crowds, there were fully ten
thousand people there, about
evenly divided, and tho tension
at the time was so great that it
seemed as though no ono had tak
en a breath for fully five minutes.
Wo won tho toss and took our outs.
It was one, two, three order in jig
time, but they gave us the same
dose.
"For eleven innings not a soul had
gotten acquainted with the third
baseman on either side, when In the
first of tho twelfth, off two dinky
hita and an error, two men came
over tho pan, making tho score two
to nothing. I was playing the key
stone position for Merced and was
eating up everything that came my
way, daisy-cutters, liners and Texas
leaguers. Both men were pitching
like demons and it was our last
chance. The first two men fanned
out. Tho third got a pass; the next
a single, when it was my turn at bat.
I picked out my good old wagon
tongue and strode to tho rubber.
Cheer, upon cheer came from tho
Merced gang, but jeers, cat-calls and
hisses camo from the other side.
"I told you I won it on a short
single, and I'll explain. The first one
over I fouled off. Hatsv, lap robes,
whips, cushions, tin cans, and every
thing loose was thrown In tho air.
The next one I met about the middle
of the bat, and it fell just over first
baso and dropped into a tomato can,
and before they could get it out of
the wo had all crossed tho oyster and
the game was won. Ah, me! 'Those
were tho days they played ball,"
said Ed. as ho turned to sell a lady
the can wo had all crossed the oyster
and tho game was won. Ah, mo!

THE COWING FLOOD.
Tho Portland Commercial Club
has issued more than four hundred
thousand leaflets to advertise tho
stato in enstern localities. The Is
sue is timely because of the cheap
colonist rates which are now In ef
fect and because thousands of peo
ple aro anxious to come to this coast
and settlo In pleasant cllmntlc con
ditions. Enstern Oregon Is n mild
and delightful climnto to thoso who
bavo Bpent many wintors east of tho
Missouri and north of tho Ohio river.
Southwestern Oregon seems excep
tionally lino to thoso who havo dwolt
long In tho colder regions of eastern
Oregon. ,
