Pernoll Pitches a Great 'm Game
. and Holds Visitors Down to
Single Run.
The Sunday's Oregonian has the fol
lowing to ray of "Jud" Pernoll,""who
joined toe Portland Beavers here in
July to try oat in the big league aud
baa made good, winning the second
of the five games that Portland
took from San Franolsco last week.
by allowing only three hits and hold
ing them down to one run, this mak
ing three games out of five that be
bas won tor Portland :
"Henry Pernoll, the Beavers' kid
pitcher, brought undying fame to his
home town, (Grants Pass yesterday for
the youngster was all the oandy"in the
fastest game of the season and iuoi
dentally victory perched on the ban
ners or me Dome guard. Tne score
was two to one and barring the slight
streak of wildness developed by the
young farmer lad the visiting team
would have been shut out
"Visions of 'Sport' Hicks in the
'College Widow' oonfront one as one
imagines Pernoll 's visit to the milk
ranob in Josephine County from
which environment he wandered but
once since he saw the light of day
and on . tbat occasion the youngster
came to Portland to see the Lewi
and CHrk Exposition.
"Last night be departed for bis
borne for the purpose of spending a
lew hours with the "old folks"
before going to the land he often
dreamed of visiting but hardly hoped
to see, California, and now that be has
made good in the baseball world the
dairy kid will see something of the
vast world beyond the confines of
Grants Pass. Like the character in
the well known play one bas visions
of him floating into his home village
and extending to the benighted home
talent a few lessons in equipoise and
citified mannerisms. After his per
formance yesterday he is entitled to
do a little 'lording' even though it
be at the expense of the country
pumpkins in the vioinity of the dairy
farm.
A Ginseng Farm.
E. F. Graham, of Prospect, was in
town Toesday. Mr. Graham own
some valuable timber lands in the
prospect country and is also establish
ing a giuseug farm, which is proving
a great success. Mr. Graham is
probably the pioneer of this industry
in Oregon aud he bas found the
pumice land on upper Rogue River to
be particularly adapted to the growth
of this valuable root. He already has
some 3000 plants growiug and will
put in more as fast as he can procure
the plants. Ginseng Jis highly prized
by the Chinese as a medicine and is
said to sell in the Celestial Kingdom
'for more than its weight in gold, and
the production of the plant in this
country where the conditions are
right is highly profitable. Ashland

'New Standard Insurance Policy.
The repot t of the committee on
Oregon standard policy forms which
was at pointed by the fire under
writers of the Pacific coast to confer
with the insurance commissioner of
the state of Oregon, has placed a
copy of their report iuto the hands
of the secretary of state. The con
ference was the remit of a law passad
by the 1907 legislature providing
tbat a standard form of polioy should
be used after October 1, by all fire
insurance compsniei doing business
in Oregon. The most important
question at the conference was the
provision allowing the companies to
add other conditions coder certain
circonisiaoces. That part of the Isw
reads s follows :
"Any fire iusuratice company, cor
poration or aatoc atlou, its offlce-t
