F, AWAIT BALL GAME With the announcement that the Grunts Pass ami Medford ball teams will have their nM!iiins session in tho season's struggle for tho diamond honors of. southern Oregon at the Medfonl ball park, Sunday, May 2Clh the funs are manifesting y;reat inter est in the prospects of a. real ball name. "Fanning .bees". -nay be heard jii the streets mid in the popular resorts of ifedford at most any time. The merits of each individual play er on both teams are freely discussed, tho general opinion, however, is that the teams are about evenly balanced nnd that victory will o to the side having the best battery. It is stated by those who witnessed the game between Grants Pass and Central Point last Sunday at the for mer place, tlint the Josephine comity boys arc faster than ever, and thnt Hopkins, their new twirler, is better than Osborne, who was the star slab nrtist for Grants Pass last season. Tho members of the local club were highly elated over the fine showing mado by Burgess in last Sunday's game with Ashland, when he fanned the first fivo men up, and struck out a total of ten men during the eight innings pitched by him. The youngs ter had everything, and was not in trouble at any time. LARD SPILLED ON FLOOR SAVED AND SOLD BY TRUST WASHINGTON, May 21. J. F.

TESTIMONY OF B0LAND AGAINST ARCHIBALD UNSHAKEN WASHINGTON, May 21. At tempts to shako former testimony given tho Judiciary committeo by Christopher Iloluud, a Scranton coal dwiler, against Judgo Aichbald, of tho commorco court, by Attorney N EMHLT SCOTT'S BANKING SCHEME. WM". J. SCOTT, tho Antioch rmieUef, , who is firmly convinced that his financial scheme is (0 revolu tionize tho world, is circulating initiative petitions to tho 1 i 11. 1 11 1 .- i T ...K..k. cniintv court to piaco 11 upon rue. uanoc ne.xi iove inner. There are a few constitutional and loiyal obstacles in thotho way, which MY. Scott refuses to consider. The constitution will have to ho amended to tfivo counties home rule first, and then amended again to permit, coun ties to enter tho banking business. Then an act or two of it i .. . . . . v i 11. . i .1 I ll . !.!... congress win no necessary 10 loroo uio louorai auuiuriuc to accept such securities, and all this before tho question can bo submitted to tho voters of dackson county. Tho Mail Tribune asked R L. iMcClure, who has made a study of finanee,vto comment upon this county-bonding bank scheme, which he lias done in tho follewing: "Tho Scott initiative petition to establish a National bank to be known as tho Taxpayers National 13ank of Jackson County, Oregon, is deserve criticism, except that the pa pel's give space to tho publication of his ideas and for that reason tho absurdity of tho proposition should bo exposed. "There litis boon no provision in law for counties to engage in the banking business. Tho banking business consists in receiving deposits, loaning money, buying and selling exchange, financing the credit and bond issues of states and corporations, buving and selling securities among varied and almost unlimited fields of operation engaged in by the banks. If counties embarked in the banking business, a limit would have to be fixed for its operation. If it received deposits it would pay cheeks of its depositors and loan money on securities, which alone opens a question of risk to' make prudent men pause and consider. "The only function of the bank mentioned by Mr. Soott is to save $90,000 a year interest, by issuing bonds secured by $38,000,000 assessed valuation of Jackson countv. The monov to be issued and used by the county until the bonds mature when and the bonds cancelled without cost to any one but tho expense of printing. "Fixing a standard of value, coining monev and regu lating ihe value thereof is the political government. Statesmen recognize the detects in money, but the greatest economists and statesmen have utterly failed to provide a remedy; and the politicians of all countries have permitted financiers to dictate the laws regulating money in the interest of financiers and bankers at the expense of the people. In one item the people of the United States pay interest on $20,000,000,000 of bank deposits which are all fictitious money, there being only .$1,000,000,000 gold coin in circulation, which is the stand ard and the only real money in a panic. "If Mr. Scott was playing the children's game of hot and cold, he would be hot very hot. But if the child did not know what interest was it would be searching in the dark for the object, and although it might be close to it would fail to find it and indeed it is close to him and recognized by all who understand scientific money." A CONVENIENCE TO GROCERS. IN LENTIONING the grocers who still advertise in the Mail Tribune, notwithstanding its support of the public market, the names of Hutchison & Lumsden and the Oakdale grocery were inadvertently omitted. Both of these firms, along with the Allen Grocer company, have been and still arc advertisers in the Mail Tribune and it is hoped that their increasing trade will demonstrate to other firms the value of newspaper space. No progressive grocer should fear the public market, even though he loses a little green-goods trade. It will be a convenience to him, for he need not carry green goods, with the great percentage of spoliation and loss, but can fill his orders for produce at the market, saving him work, worry and loss. The market will bring in new trade to the city, trade now going elsewhere, and if the grocers see to it that their prices are as low as those in surrounding towns, they will get the business. The market will also be an aid to commission brokers, for they also can buy direct from the farmer for shipment without having to scour the country. There will even tually be a surplus of produce offered, which will offer an ojportunity for the growers or Wrokei-s to establish a branch in Portland to "handle the surplus. UMONDK MHANMAH LONDON, May 21. As a result of revelations growing out of tho Titan ic disaster an International move ment looking to tbo bettering of con ditions of employment in tho mercan tile marine, especially among engi neers and stokers, has been under taken by the executive council of the National Sailors and Flremens union of Great Britain und Ireland.

Cii!.. May lil.- Whot action Governor Johnson will take in the San Diego trouble had pot been revealed up to 2 o'clock .this afternoon, as ho hud absolutely de clined to make any comment what ever upon the situation.
