Those who braved tbe rigors of a day so cold that overcoats and furs were comfortable, saw tbe Yellow Kids capture a game from tbe Wash ington Agricultural College team, Wednesday afternoon, by tbe close score of 7 to 6. . , Tbe Kids won tbe game in tbe first inning when tbey made two, inns, and lost it again in the fifth, when with a long hit and a bunch of errors, the bases filled up with farm ers. Then followed as pretty a piece of bunting work as was ever seen on tbe Atbeua diamond, and when it was over tbe visitors bad five scores to their credit. Tbe Kids came back in their half of the sixth with two and in tbe ninth oame through with a Garrison finish and again land ed the game with a margin of one. Osburn ozoued 15 college lads and allowed six bits, three of which were bunts. Tbe Kids found Nissen for 12 safeties aud oue man only was out when the winning run was made.

Bannister, independent can didate for sheriff, will not tile bis nominating petitious with tbe county cletk. Some days ago, Somerville, tbe republican candidate, came cutiu print with au announcement relative to bis position as to law enforcement, if elected, and Sheriff Taylor, the democratic candidate, makes the fol lowing announcement: Pendleton, Ore,. May 16. 1900. N. A. Davis, Esq., Milton, Oregon. Dear Sir: in reply to your letter of recent date, requesting me to ex press to you for public use during the present campaign, what my attitude as a publio officer will be in tbe event of my reelection to tbe office of sheriff, I have to say, that I shall endeavor in all cases to comply conscientiously with my oath of office, and to enforce the laws of tbe state. I approvingly quote the language of my worthy op ponent: "My oath of offioe, and the statutes of tbe state, shall be tbe standard of my official duty." : Respectfully, T. D. TAYLOR. Child Burned. Tbe three year old child of Mr, and Mrs. Dan Sowers of . Weston, was seriously burned, Wednesday after uoou by its clothing catching fire in some mysterious manner while seated in a chair near the stove. Tbe mother had stepped into an adjoining room for a moment and on ber return found tbe baby's clothing on fire. The little one was severely burned about tbe arms and shoulders, and is in a pre carious condition. Doctor! are Puzzled. The remarkable recovery of Kenneth Mclver, of Vanceboro, Me., is the subject of much interest to the medi cal fraternity and a wide circle of friends. He says of his case: "Ow ing to severe inflammation of tbe throat aud congestion of tbe lungs, three doctors gave me up to die, when, as a laut resort, I was induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery and I am happy to say it saved my life.

He John Connelly, who was shot Mou day at Pine City, Morrow county, ;was a sbeepherder aud his remains are be ing held in Pendleton awaitiug in structions from relatives. Otis McCaitby, of Echo, was the unwilling slayer of Connelly, and be fore shooting he twioe ordered him to bait and throw up bis bauds. This tbe man failed to do, but instead con tinued to walk toward MoCarthy, with one hand on his waistband, as if inteudiug to draw a gun. Searoh resulted in no weapons being on his clothes. Tbe posse ot which McCarthy was a member, brought the wounded mau to Echo, but be soon expired. After be ing shot Connelly declared himself an innooent man. Before dying he said he had a brother in Salem, who was a member of tbe national guard com pany at that place, ad gave bis name as Thomas Connelly, but up to the present time he has not been located. The coroner's jury exonerated Mo Carthy. The man found burned to a crisp in a box oar at Foster ou tbe morning of tbe shooting caused the posse to bo out in search of two men who tbe omcers believe have knowledge ot h im, and as Connelly answered the aeBoripuou or one or tnem, be was called to bait. . One of tbe two men is now being neia in jbu as a witness while tbe oth er is being eagerly sought by the sber iff and his deputies. There are re ports to the effect that tbe man burn ed to death was a hobo who was steal ing a ride, and it is likely that tbe man Wilson, who is iu jail, knew nothing of bis riding there, as be was in tbe caboose muoh of tbe time. As it now stauds, tbe case is muoh plioated. com BAPTIST ASSOCIATION win Convene Here at VnptUt Church May 22. 23 and 24. 11 1 1 a ... a large aeiegauon or Baptists are expected here to attend the meetings of the Umatilla Baptist Association. wniou win be held at church next Tuesday, aud Thursday, May 22, The program follows. : tbe Baptist Wednesday 23, aud 24.

BUY BARLOW ROAD FARMERS URGE STATE TO MAKE PURCHASE. Barlow Road Across the Cascades and Farmers Are Sot Able to Pay the Tolls Charged. The Press is in receipt of the" fol lowing letter purporting to be from a representative of the farmers living along the old Barlow road across the Cascade mountains, which it is pro posed to buy for the state for tbe sum of $24,000: Welohes, Clackamas County, Ore., May 15, 1906. Athena Press, Athena, Oregon. Dear Sir: There has been no dis cussion in the Oregon press of tbe law whioh is to be voted on next June. abolishing the Barlow Toll road and providing for its purchase by tbe state and its conversion into a free publio highway. The farmers who live along this road and who have to pay the tolls were able to raise enough money to oiroulate the petitious to get this law ou tbe ballot, but have no money left with which to make a campiagn. We must, therefore, rely upon the news papers of the Btate for a discussion of the matter, and believe that the en tire community will sympathize with us in our effort. We therefore write you an explanation of the situation. The Barlow road crosses the Cas cade mountains just south of Mt. Hood. There is no other road be tween it and tbe Columbia river ou the north, and not for 100 miles to the south. If you want to cross the Cas cades you must travel over the Barlow road and pay toll. The Barlow road is a strip of land 60 feet wide and nearly 70 miles long. The owners hold it uuder a graut made 40 years ago by tbe federal gov erument. Their right to charge toll has been upheld by the supreme court. The farmers iu Clackamas and Was co counties who live in the country tributary to this road, have to pay toll on every head of sheep or cattle they drive to Portland. They have to pay 12 every time they cross tbe mountains iu a wagon. There is no other road crossing the Cascades. Every immigrant wagon must uav 12. Every settler driving from the Willamette valley to sottle in Eastern Oregon , and there are lots of them, must pay $2 on his little grist of furni ture. Tbe owners of tbe Barlow road did not initiate the law abolishing tbe tolls and providing for tbe purchase of the road. Tney did not even know it was to be done. Thoy agreed a vear ago with our representatives to sell tbe road for a certain nrice. Wa then initiated the law ourselves and r;'Hed the money to circulate the peti tions, rue owners or the road. I un derstand, do not want now to sell tbe road, at tbe price agreed on. $24.- 000, but they will be compelled to sell if the law passes, and we hold their agreement. If tbe state does not buy the road next June, we will never have another chance to buy the road for twioe this amount of money. Nor could it be built over again for $100, 000. There is no way to get rid of this toll road except to buy it As tho state grows it will become an immense ly valuable piece of property. In Ave ye?rs when this country is thickly settled it will be worth a fortune to own the only pass across the Cascades and to have the right to charge toll on it And tho state will have to buy it sooner or later. Tbe farmers cannot buy tbe road themselves. There is no reuson wby they should. The road is a great state highway the same as tbe old Dalles wagou road was. Tbe legislature ap propriated several thousand dollars to build tbe Dalles wagou road. No one would complaiu if tbe state were to begin to build a new highway over the Cascades at a cost of at least $100, 000. We hope the Oregou press, whioh is usually ready to help the common peo ple, will help tbe unfortunate farm ers out in this matter oy publishing this Jexplantion. ( We have got to get rid of the toll road. Its existence is a hindrance to tbe growth of cen tral Oregon. Tbe state should help us and it will never have a better chance nor as good a chance, as now. We have uo money with which to make a campaign, and will have to depend entirely on tbe merits of tbe case. Yours respectfully, O. W. KERN, Chairman of Farmers' Committee.
