IT WAS AN INTERESTING GAME 4h-ants Pass Boys IMuy Good Ball But Could Not rind Curves of Ashland PiUhers-Was Fine Show, ing of Game. The Ashland high school ball toss ers won from Grants Pats high in Grants Pass Saturday ia a well played and most interesting game of baseball. Although the weather was rather cold and cloudy ami a strong northwest wind was blowing, there was a crowd of some 200 people out to witness the game. The local boys outplayed their p ponents in every stage of the game,' although they were kept playing , every minute until the Grants Pass team went to pieces in the seventh inning and allowed five Ashland runs to cross the rubber. The Ashland boys showed considerable improve ment over their weakness of last Sat urday hitting. The team was also greatly strengthened by the return of Kenneth Lilly, the midget slugger of last year's team, to his position in center field. v Kenneth McWilliams, the local boy who won last Saturday's game from Grants Pass, was selected o do the twirling by Captain Ashcraft, while Carner, who is also known here, was to heave for the home team. Mc Williams was removed in the seventh after two hits, two errors, and Teal's free transportation to first when he was hit by a pitched ball served to fcring in two Grants Pass runs and put the home team in the lead. Phil lips, who relieved him, pitched hit less ball for the remaining three in nings, striking out six of ,the nine men who faced him. The Grants Pass lineup was prac tically the same as last Saturday, with Smith taking Blake' place in the' outfield. "Ikey" Cornell, the lit tle shortstop, was in the game all the time and made some nice catches. The visiting team's first run came in the sixth, when with two down Gravy drove a hot grounder through THE TRUSTSETS PRICE Keating of Colorado Declare Cane Sugar Trust Controls Price of Beet Sugar. Washington, April 25. Frivolous and serious treatment was accorded the tariff question today in the louse debate, Representative Moore, republican, of Pennsylvania, contrib uting to the novelty by conducting a tariff primary class for the edifica tion and amusement of his col leagues, and Representative Palmer, chairman of the democratic caucus, delivering the principal argument of -the day in behalf of the Underwood ill. Keating of Colorado, who declared lie was elected on the free sugar platform, aroused the representatives, from the beet sugar states with the declaration that every beet m gar fac tory in the United States was con trolled by the American Suar Refin ing Company and that "the trust" fixed the price to the consumer, . When challenged by Kelly of Mich igan, Keating declared he could prove it by business conditions and facts relating to the 'beet sugar in dustry in his own state. Moore's innovation put the house into an uproad. He presented him self in, the guise of a pupil arguing the questions in the "tariff primer" put to him by the reading clerk of the house. The climax came when Lobeck of Nebraska, raising his hand while Moore was reciting' his tariff lebson, demanded recognition, and who at the moment assumed the role of: principal of the school "PleaBe, teacher," Lobeck griri Ingly responded, "may I go out?" " " The principal's answer was drowti-' edt Jn the laughter and applause; while Garrett pounded his gavel' to' subdue his unruly 'pupil.' ' Palmer predicted , 'the bill "'will surely bring relief to the peqple if' it received the united i support of 'the' democratic party, and he expected 'it undoubtedly will survive the opposi tion of the "republican remnant and' the progressive embryo." :; ' Cllf Payne makes screen doors.

Steinbaugh hit to Mac, who after a moment's pause, in which Smith decided to try to score, he threw to Plymate, catching Smith. Steinbaugh stole, but Galvan fanned, ending the melee.

Transportation Schedules' ileing Ar. ranged for Coining Season. Anticipating considerable travel to and from various pleasure resorts and miscellaneous attractions, trans portation companies are beginning to plan to meet requirements in this direction. It has not yet been determined to hold the local Rose and Strawberry Carnival this season, a notable fea ture here for several years past. The matter is still ponding, the prospect being held under advisement by the Civic Improvement Club, which will probably arrive at a decesion in the matter early in May. The regular Chautauqua Assembly season begins July 7 and closes on the 18th, this prominent annual event to be advertised extensively in the near future. ' The Southern Pacific has been making inquiries concerning, these and other events, to the end that ar rangements for reduced rates may be made accordingly. For the Portland Rose Festival, early in June, a rate of oue fare for the round trip has been announced, provided 125 tickets are sold for this attraction in territory extending from Ashland to Grants Pass. The sale of Ithis number of tickets will entitle purchasers to a special train to Portland, leaving Ashland almost any day In the week, but preferably on a Monday evening. BLOXD SALESMEN REST. Prof. Prentiss Says They Have Radi ating Natures and Are More Adaptable. Portland, April 26. "P.lond men make better salesmen than dark ones," says Professor Prentiss of the Sheldon school, who continued his series of addresses on salesmanship before the Realty Board today. He explained that light men have radiat ing natures, while dark cues have concentrated tendencies, and that the blond is more jovial and more adapt able than his darker brother. Prentiss took the face and showed its relation to character, demonstrat ing the many ways in which the real estate salesman can judge a pros pective customer by his countenance. Shirts and underwear tailored to your measure give satisfaction at Orres' shop. WILL ATTEMPT TO LIFT UP FALLEN NEW COURT OF MORALS IN CHICAGO .WILL ENDEAVOR TO SOLVE THE SOCIAL EVIL PROBLEM Chicago, April 25. Chicago's new morals' court the first of its kind in the world is operating upon the theory that there is no derelict of society, no matter how depraved, no matter how long or how hardened in vice, but that still harbors some spark of goodness, some dormant, smouldering character material that can be fanned into a flame of good citizenship and mdal betterment. The morals court Is In its third week today.' In that short time, according to those who were most instrumental in bringing it into being, it has dem onstrated its place "by the great good already accomplished through It. The theory on which this , new court is being conducted is not being preached from a pulpit as an abstract proposition. It la being put to actual practice every day, with sociological experts, who crowd the benches of the court room, looking on and tak ing notes. They believe it will mark a new era in court methods of deal Lecture on Child Problem. On Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at the Methodist church, a noted speaker and evangelist will address those present on matters per taining to the proper training of the child. Mothers particularly are in vited, to be present.

Ma-jor-General Wood, chief or. staff, de clared tonight that the second di vision of the United States army will remain mobilized at Galveston and Texas City "until the causes of mo bilization are removed." "I ilo not know just how long the division will remain niobi!ized," he said, "nor dona any other man know. The division will remain any length of time, from one week to one year. I am sure the stay will be a long one, six months or longer." General Wood, who is on a tour of Inspection of border camps, visited Fort Crockett today and expressed satisfaction with regard to camp con ditions. The Texas City camps will be inspected Monday ami General Wood, with his aide. Captain Howell Clayton, will leave Monday night for Brownsville. He will proceed from Brownsville along the Rio Grande to El Paso and Nogales, Ariz. He will return to Washington from No gales. Services Arc Impressive. Yesterday was a good day at the Christian church. There was one confession at the morning service. Four who were members elsewhere took their stand with the local con gregation at the evening service. Evangelist Crim is preaching great sermons. His hearers are pleased with his teaching and are inspired to better things. The men are stirred by the vision he gives them of a man's work in a man's way. The monthly song service which preceded the evening sermon gave credit to Professor Isaac and the large choir. Panama Canal Rights Bring Wide Views. Washington, April 25. Divergent views regarding the right of the United States to exempt coastwise vessels from the payment of tolls through the Panama canal were ex presBed today in the papers read be fore the American Society of Inter national Law. Most of the principal speakers agreed, however, with Rich ard Olney, former secretary of state, who held this country was entirely within its rights as owner of the canal to make whatever rules it de sired regarding the canal. Wall paper at Dickerson's. ing with habitues of the underworld. They believe it an essential part of any city which is striving to clean out the morally leprous spots in the community. It is, they contend, an important; step in the solution of that just now widely and frankly dis cussed social evil problem. The court opened April 7. Judge Jacob Hopkins', who was chosen to preside ever -the sessions of this new court because of his deep interest in stamping out vice, today declared he is wholly satisfied with the experi ment. "We -have set to work with this creed," said the ' Judge, "that there are no 'down-and-outers. There are persons who are temporarily down, but they are never completely cut. There is always something left In the apparently most hopeless hu man derelict which can be awakened. All it needs is human kindness, a helping upward pull. These are not always found in the ordinary court and it is too much to expect that they always should be." Had Narrow Escape. A party of Pythians ard Pythian Sisters had a narrow escape Friday night, when the steering gear of John Patty's automobile gave way under the strain of a heavy loud as he was turning the corner of Pain and Sec ond streets. The party wan on their way home from lodge and John had loaded the full capacity of the ma chine, and Doc Saunders" and. Tom Book were-standing oh the running board.'

Miss Kate O'Connor of Montague, a Junior student in the domestic sci ence class at O. A. C, Corvallis, Ore., was drowned Sunday while canoeing on the Mary's river with Robert Sav age of Salem. The girl's body was carried below the surface at onco and never came i up, so her companion was powerless to render any assistance. j Three other students witnessed thej accident and rendered all tae assist-1 ance possible. The party, which included Miss O'Connor and Mr. Savage left Cor vallis at 3 o'clock and wore break ing a strjet rule of the college which forbids any girl going on the water without first having filed the writ ten consent of her parents to en gage in aquatic sports. This drowning makes the third violent death of Siskiyou county young people within six months. Where Does the Corn Go? Wall Street Journal: Corn prices have been creeping upwards since the first of the year. 'Last season's crop was the largest ever harvested. The government estimated the yield at 3,125,000,000 bushels. What has become of this enormous amount of corn, to hold the market so firm? Some light may be thrown on the matter by studying the census distri bution of the crop of 1909. From those figures it appears that over 80 per cent of the crop is consumed on the farms. Later, at leust 50 per cent of the crop finds its way from the farms to the consuming markets in the shape of meat, milk, butter and eggs. The cotton mule works on corn, and his driver most likely works on corn bread and bacon (which is only condensed corn) and 90,000,000 bushels are contumed di rectly as human food. Farm draught animals take 27 per cent of the aver age crop. The result of their toil comes to the market in the form of cereal foods, potatoes, cotton and other necessary commodities. Anl mats engaged in lumbering, coal and trucking industries consume about 5 per cent. Corn finds a constant expanding market in the industrial uses. Of the 1909 crop the mills took 245, 000,000 bushels. This equals 9 pel1 cent, of which a portion will return to the farms. Starch and glucose took 1.5 per cent of the crop. Dis tilleries consumed 20,000,000 bush els, while 15,000,000 bushels went into the brewing industry. These two together amount to something over 1 per cent. Seed takes 25,000, 000 bushels, and a portion is held over from year to year as a reserve. Northern and western Europe uses corn, but does not raise it to any extent. Our domestic crop is three-quarters of the world's supply, but We Bpare very little for export The European demand must be main ly supplpied by Argentina, south western Europe and South Africa. Argentina furnishes over 25 per cent of this supply. Her harvest will be completed about May 1. Some fore casts are for an exportable surplus of only 100,000,000 bushels. This is about 85,000,000 bushels less than last season. Russia, Roumanla and the Balkans furnish about 25 per cent, but their crops were not up to average. With a considerable shrinkage in the surplus-producing countries, de mand for American corn must neces sarily become stronger. As we con sume almost all we raise It is easy to see why prices may tend higher. (iunmen Arrested. The local officers are looking for a boxcar thief who burglarized a car In the Southern Pacific yards Friday night. He was seen to leave the car Saturday morning by railroad men who gave chase but were unable to land him. While searching the woods near Bear creek officers Olen and Irwin arrested two Russians Fri day evening. They were lying in a hollow near the road but hidden from sight. Under each when they got up was. found a big .38-caltbre revolver. As neither had any money and nothing could be gained by feed ing them,: Recorder Gillette Confis cated the guns and. let them go.
