Tho deciding wiiton came in the

hung, breathless, on tlio xtrugejo,
split tho nir with one roar of joy. It
was all over and from Hint time the
Athletics were never iu danger. The
fiift run for tlio Athletics was made
in the first iniiiiinj,', when Ird cross
ed tho pan on a wild pitch by ltnbe
Manpiartl. In tlio second inning
Oldring misjudged n double by Her

Mig Chief Meyers delivered a nice
clean single.
From flm stnrl of the game Mc-
.GrawV, beauty, Manpiard, was wild.
In the middle of tho fit niggle he set
tled down bill weakened again after
Maker'.-, tremendous drise, and in the
cigth McGruw jerked him out of the
box, MMiding Crandall to bat. Crau

fornla State Highway board which is
now engaged in deciding upon the
location of tho trunk highwnj
through California which is to be
constructed at a cost of J16.000.000.
The local men were accompanied by
four auto loads ot business men from
Ashland.
An effort Is being made to have
tho highway follow tho coast to Eu
reka, nud an effort is also being
jnade to have tho road diverted at
Weed to Klamath Falls. It Is for thol
purpose ot Influencing tho California
board to locato tho road up through
tho Shasta valley past Yreka and
over tlio Slskiyous that tho local uica
left tor Colo station.
Thu fact that Jackson county re
cently voted a bond issue ot $1,500,

Panic Is apparent today In ovcry
action of the government. Desplto
frantic appeals, tho army chief, Yuan
Shi Kal, Is apparently not anxious to
act against his countrymen to bolster
up the tottering Manchu dynasty.
Tho government has offered him the
vlco .royalty ot .Hunan ,audi Hupefc
provinces. Replying, Yuan Shi Kat
demanded guarantees of Immediate
reforms and the enforcement of tho
constitution. U
Army 3fny Switch.
It Is believed Yuan Shi Kal Is
merely waitlnff to ascertain tho real
strength of tho rebels and that If
their successes continue he will cast
In his lot with thoirs. If ho docs It
means that nearly tho wholo army
will follow his lead, and that an
enormous popular sentiment for the
downfall of tho Manchus will bo
created. U &
