Oregon has a clim ate that is a

was im pressed during the past week
how ever, when the nation al conven­

session here. R. A. Long, m illion ­
aire lum berm an o f K ansas City, who
pledged a g ift of $1,01)0,000 to car­
ry on th e work of the church, said
the Portland convention
was the
best in the history o f the organiza­
tion, and was due to the favorable
w eather which made it com fortable
for th e d eleg a tes at all tim es, so
that the sessio n s were not fatigu in g
nor were the speakers tired and dull,
as is so often the case when the con­
ventions are held in Eastern cities
in m idsum m er.

ANOTHER NOTCH
TRAMP TO MT. HOOD
The Gresham G iants boosted their
itlt.li reputation for good ball playing
a little higher Sunday by defeating
the Hudson Arms team on the la«-
ter's home grounds at Lents, the
score being 2 to 1.
Gresham scored In th e first inn­
ing and drove Cook front the first
box after Roberts and Houck had
driven out long tw o baggers. W ise
replaced him, and the little fellow ,
who is about the size of a m osquito,
held the G iants to tw o lilts for the
rest o f th e gam e. Opposed to hint
was Townsend, the veteran Gresh­
am heaver who has been out of the
gam e for six weeks.
Townsend celebrated his return to
the gam e by holding the L ents slu g ­
gers to six scratch h its and d isp lay­
ing his usual fine control, not w alk­
ing a man.
Joe Dixon, the L ents Centerfield,
was the star field er of the day,
handling six chances w ithout an er­
ror, and figuring in a double play.
His one handed spear of Rich Par­
rotts' long drive was the p rettiest
ever seen
on the I^ents diamond
and he was given a great hand by
the large crowd.

It was decided

and
em ploy a general m anager to solicit

sight of all arrangem ents.
Plans were laid to have one day

reporting the m atter to the O utlook,
said h e was w ell out of the road
and if the auto hnd turned out In the

A wrecked buggy and broken har­
