Diamond W's 1 la the score of the oivening game of the Oregon Amateur League which was ldaved last Sunday on the profession al grounds in Porliaud. This simple score doesn't begiu to convey to any one not t hero w tiats a hard fought coutest was waged lor the supremacy on the diamond . It was a brilliant game on both sides and If those in attendance had been unacquainted with the players and not informed what teams they were, there Is no doubt but m large majority would have thought they were witnessing a game between professionals. The Hillsboro players had more hits but were unable to bunch them and in stead of having the scores on their tallv sheet are compelled to be satis fied with the honor ol having twelve men left on bases. John llarkins pitched great ball, ncf nlinif the third inning, w hen he sent three men down on balls, w hich a hit, a aleal and two errors netted Feeny's men four runs. T!ie Dia mond W's, every one of them, work ed manfully to recover the lost ground hut they were up against It and the luck was not wilh them. They were beaten but the Diamond W sympathiaer need not feel liap puintment for they have reason to lie proud of a team that ran put up the game I hey did Inst Sunday. The teams are very evenly match ed ami we may lor k for a red ht game when they rom together next Sunday, May It, at Uecrenliort Park.

Cummlnga haa been during the past two weeks draaaing the teeth of horses In this county Thia may properly e called practlc iug equine dent i.-try. It Is surpris ing how many horses have detective teeth. The griudiug motion iu eat lug oafs aud hay wears away tho In. side of the upper teeth anil the out side of the lower. This leavts sharp edge of euamel tbut cuts the cheek ou one side aud the tougue on the other. A symptom of this cou dition is slobbering. Mr. Cummings with appropriate toots cuts these high plaerS SO that SqUafC teeth are left for perfect griudiug. He does it too iu a humane way He has a bit which is iuaerted in the horses mouth aud opened by the ani mal himself aud when open the mouth is open so that the dentist can work to the best advantage. Some horsei are so bad that they can not with the tongue cleau the mouth aud particles of food remain aud soon become a fuateriug Uiats. Teeth ought to be examined frequently and wheu out of shape should bo dressed. This Is not uuly contributing to the comfort ot the horse but is a saving of food, siuce It takes fewer oats per fectly masticated to support the ani mal economy thau wheu chewii g is Imperfect.

I bis editorial reads : uIa bis eloqueut speech at the ex position on Saturday Congressman Tongue of Oregon, paid a line tribute to the spirit of the pioueers who con quered that great commonwealth from the wilderness aud mado It one of the richest aud must progressive tu the union. Iucideutially, and without any luteutuii of exposing one of the cherished weaknesses ol his Cbarleetou audieuce, be said some things which they cannot 'hear too often for their own good, as follow: '"It is not the mau who issatisfied with his lot aud surrouudiugs that goes to the front. Conteutment Is lie enemy of achievement. Content ment never suffers, never sacrifices. Contentment betters no couditious, rights no wrongs. A contented man would build no factory, construct no steamboat, engage In uo railroad en terprise. The men who have the money lo eugage in great undertak ings would have enough to supply all the necessaries of life and many of its luxuries, could pass their days in ease and leisure, pursuing only their own pleasures, free from toil aud swear, if they were only con tented. Contentment may tiring happiuess, it may be desirable for the individual, but it makes no pro gress and is not iu the Interest of humanity at large.' "The men who opened Ibe West to settlement and civilization were men with some higher notion of the reason for existence than the applica tion of ancient formulas to modern ueeds and conditions. The spirit which controlled them and made them successful is the spirit which would make Charleston once more great cemmercial city. It is not the man who Is satisfied with his lot and his eurrouudings that goes to the front. Don't forget that! What Is ueeded in Charleston is something of the spirit of the pioneer who built up Oregon." LILY TALE. Mr. Dan McCleod Is home visiting with bis many friends.
