The roost gorgeous pageant ever given' on the Pacific Coast was th3 Spirit of the Golden West parade l i Portland last Thursday night, and in all the beautiful procession the Eu-terprlse-Wallowa County float attract ed attention second only to Se attle's splendid one. The Oregonian says the EnterprUe-Wallowa County float was second only to Seattle's in interest, and stock raisers vowed i' the porkers were a fair sample of hogs raised in Wallowa county, there they were going to locate. The Evening Telegram said: En terprise (Miss Edna Browning, queen) had for its theme the cattle, sties? and swine industries, and the mon ster hog surrounded by a litter of cunning pigs made a hit all along the line. The Journal: Enterprise, capital of Wallowa county, showing Its su premacy in cattle and hog raising by representations of' monster pigs and steers. Miss Edna Browning rode one of theie prize steers as queen of the float. ' The parade was viewed by 300,000 people and the different community floats were closely scrutinized. Every body present from this city and La Grande who has bean heard from says the floats were a grand adver tisement, and the money was "eniPfWr llfll I Rl III spent, while visitors from towns that I I IVh Will rlAf had no floats voiced deep regret they i UU I L III LL I LH I did not exploit- their resources before the 300,000 peo.ile who witnessed !

In tha third inning, Eilgar Marvin, who hal reached first on an error by Hudson and had stolen second, ran to third after -bailey Maxwe 1 had cauKht Pace's fly to right. Maxwell threw to Hug who in reaving to third threw wild the ball golig Into the crowd back of third. I'n.'.er the ground rules Marvin wai entitled to home base and he trotted to t'-ie plate. Meanwhile someone in the crowd blocked tho ball, threw it to the Wallowa third baseman who ssnt it to Catcher Max well, ahead of Marvin, the latter tak ing his time ai be waa entitled to the base under the Kround rulei. but Moreloik ca'led him out. The Enter prise team put up a Btrenuous kick against such bare aced robbery but to no avail. He also refused to call It a block ball which, if there had been no Kround rules, should have been done, and lhat would have al lowed not only Marvin but also Ull yeu to score. The latter had got on by the baiea on balls route. The first man up for Wallowa in Its -third Inning, Hug, drove a grounder to French who th:ew wild to first, and Mr. Morelock a lawei Hug to trot to second. That showed plainly he un derstood the ground rules. There wasn't any doubt of that however, as he waa told the agresment by-th captains within the hearing of th writer. The other exeialvely rank docls ion, was in the sixth Inning, when Johnson knocked a base bit to loft center but tried to stretch it into double but the ball was cleanly fielded and Pace had it waiting for Johnson before he was in eight fuel of the base and touched Johns:)!! without difficulty the lutter making no attempt to sl'.de. The umpire was within 40 feet and looking directly at the play, yet called it safe. Eve the madly partisan crowd of Josep and Wallowa Bho iters couUln't shout over that. EveryboJy was dumbfound ed. A La Grande man sild it was the worst derision he had ever seen on a ball field and only one expia nation could be elven it. Johnson scored a minute liter on Hayes hit The latter was left on Maxwell's fly to R. Pidcock, bo but for the crass declnlon on John ion no runs would have been scored that inning. Theie two de ixlons gave Wallow one score move than they earned, and deprived Fn'erprise of at least one, which would hav reversal " Kore. These two decisions were enough to change th i reuit, uai were not all by any means, lloth pitchers suffered on balls and strikes those against Enterprise coming, however, when they would do the most harm, as for iiiHtance when he called Savage out on two strikes In the sixth inning. One score ww in and two itipi on banes. The first three balls plu hed to Savage were balls and were called balls by the um pire and the next two strikes, where upon More'ock called him out. He tried to excuse bis action by saying he hud called the first ball pitched a strike. It was in reality a wild pitch that struck in front of the plate on which Maxwe:i made a splendid stop. Hut for the rank umpiring, it would have been a very Interesting game, with a clo.Be score and strenu ous rooting by the big crowd.
