That's about all there is to this little
incident in baseball history. The Elk
City team came to Toledo last Sunday
full of hope and, went home full of
goose eggs. In the fourth act Parks
came through with the visitors' only
counter. For six innings it was good
ball, the score standing 2 to 1 in favor of
Toledo. Then Elk City went to pieces,
while Toledo got busy, add-ine 2 in the
seventh, 3 . in the eighth and 5 in the
ninth. The Elk City boys can put up
a pretty good game, but some of them
are apt to get rattled at critical points.
All they need is a littlo iterve tonic
not the liquid brand, either.

Oregon has received no better adver
tisement than the visit of the Oregon
girls throughout the East. The news
papers everywhere they visited gave,
them extraordinary attention, and now
comes the Ft. Worth (Teas) Record
of last Sunday, devoting its leading
editorial to their trip and compliment
ing the plan as being "novel, valunblo'
and effective for jnublicity purposes."-'
The convention of the Oregon De
velopment League promises to ho
thoroughly successful and especially
effective. Mamy active workers through
out the state are nlready in Portland
and there seems to be a uuiversal de
sire for the people of this state to- add
enormously to the population of Oregou
as the result of the colonist rates be
ginning September 1 and continuing
until October 31. These rates are ex
actly the same as were in effect during
March and April $25 from Missouri
River and St. Paul territory, embracing
10,000,000 of people; $30 from St. Louis
aud $33 from Chicago, with 82.50 less
for every ticket east of Umatilla-.
