One of t he best ball Kamen played
Iu LnUeview for a long time, from a
gallnr.N stHi.tlpoint, was played last
Sunday afternoon In t ween a picked
team front Lnkeview ami the Tine
Creek te.ilil.
ianifs ha e been phiyt d here when
t he scores were not nearly so large,
but none, that we remember of, has
afforded more real interest, than this
one, I if cause of the equality of the
player-. A game lit terall.v smeared
u it Ii "goosf eggs" is void of interest
in Ilie graml stand, ami a purely
oiif-siili il game is likewise lacking of
interest. The loud cheering iu Ihe
galleries creates elit usinsni among
tie' !! i.M-rs.

ill good cheer, the players turning
hand springs as they scurried in from
the field. One out, two out, three
out. and cheers went up for Lake
view. Again the locals were smear
ed with a (J, ('hills again chased
each other around the shirt collars
of tin se who had backed the locals
with their hard-earned. Pine Creek
were still more jubilant and rushed
to the bat witli a whoop. They
mailt' two tallies aud gave up to the
locals. The game now stood 7 for
Pine ( reek and U 0 for Lakeview. bu t
the local-t felt confident in tin1 out
come. They were now warmed up
and made ." runs. Pine Creek got a
(land I.akeview." intheJth, which
changed the atmosphere several de
grees, with Lakeview 1 ahead.
Then the fun commenced. Two
more full innings were played witli
a tally for either side. In the 7th,
Pine Creek goose egged and Lake
view made 1. Iu the 8th Pine Creek
made a aud Lakeview 1. Pine Creek
ended its last iuulug with 13, and the
locals began their last with 10. It
looked shaky, but the boys were
'sweaty." Defeat stared them in
the face, aud many hearts stood still
while a run was being made. At
last there was a tie. Now for that
ONK. It looked impossible, but
Man M'horton tuned himself up and
made the run amidst tunnultus
cheering ami uproarous shouting.
Handkerchiefs, umbrellas, ladies
gloves and even a few Enstcr hats
were Hying in the air. Lakeview had
won.
Muuy good plays were made. Jim
my Judge was thechampiou "Uutlu
sky." One time when Jester Vernon
attempted to block the track, Jimmy
butted in on him aud both rolled lu
on the plate, and it Is said Jimmy
grasped the plate iu his teeth and
held on for tlear life till time- was
culled.
(ieo. Ay res ably umpired the
game, and his decisions seemed to bo
popular.
The line-up was as follows:
Lakeview; Man Whortou pitcher,
Orvls Stephenson catcher, A. W.
CJowau first base. George Storkiuaun
second base, 8. O. Cresslcr third base,
ll'ui. Wagner right field, Jim 1'artin
center field, "Tuffy" Storkaiann left
field, Jlirnuy J ut'ge short stop.

base, Leo Mulkey second base, K.

Following Is the score by Innings:

The Lakeview Ball team will go to
Pine Creek a week from next Sunday

A large crowd is expected to go to
see the game. It will be good alright.
CLATSOP LOSES
COURT HOUSE.
To Build lelephone Line.
A good attendance is desired at
the telephone meeting to be hold at
the Courthouse to-day (Thursday)
at 2 oclock, at which meeting an
organisation will be effected for the
construction of a telephone line from
I .ake view to Plush by way of A.!' !.
The Kxauiit.cr made considerable

wh.n it was lir-t st.-.r:- !. set

Vt armT. No doubt cv. ryoi.e who
could be interested in m:c!i a. scheme
has already been brought to tin? full
realization of the Importance of such
a line.
We hope the scheme will be carried
out and the line built at the earliest
possible hour. Once a . telephone is
in u-e its service cannot be dispensed
with. The times are too rushing to
wait on horseback messengers.

Refuse 20 cents for Wool.
Woolgrowers of the northern j
counties have all along declined
to contract their clips, even
though big prices were offered, pre
ferring to await tho regular sales
days which have proven so satisfac
tory toth?a the past three years, !
since the system was inaugurated.
These sales days occur on June C
and 23 ami July C. Contractors be
gan early in tho winter by offering
10 to 17 cents, and filially offered 18,
and later went up as high as 20 cents
for choice clips. All these offers were
rejected, and growers expect better
than 20 cents on tho sales daya when
sealed bhls will be made.
Two flurderers Must Hang.
Norman Williams, who was con
victed at Tho Dalles last year for the
killing of Miss Alma Nesbitt lu 1000,
will 1m) hanged at Tho Hallos, his
crime being committed prior to tho
act providing for execution at the
penitentiary.
George V. Lautli, who murdered
Mrs. Lenora B. Jones at Oregon City
last fall, will bo hanged at tho peni
tentiary. The supreme court handed down a
decision on April 27th, affirming the
Judgements of death passed by the
lower courts. Tho men will be re
sentenced as soon as the mandates
are sent down to the lower courts.
Clatsop County has lost Its Court
house suit, and the Supreme Ctjurt
has ordered that the county olhcers
be enjoined from collecting the spec
ial tax authorize, by an act of the
legislature of l!)t.". Tho net Is de
clared to bo unconstitutional be
cause in violation of article 11, sec
tion 10, of the constitution, which
prohibits the er-ation of any debts
or liabilities which shall singly or in
the aggregate exceed $."ii)0(), except to
suppress insurrection or repel in
vasion. This suit was brought by Asnius
Brix ami other taxpayer against
the county, and was decided by
Judge McBride against the taxpay
ers. This decision is reversed in an
opinion written by Justice Bean,
'l ia- opinion say ia part :
That the act of 1!M'.. authorizing
the levy of a special tax and the
making of tlr- contract for the con
struction of tlie Court house, was
designed to enable the county to
avoid the provisions of the constitu
tion is apparent.
The position of the defendants
(county otlicers) is that no debt or
liability was created against the
county because a special tax to con
tinue for 15 years to provide a fund
for the payment of the contract
price was levied, prior to tlie making
of the contract, and such contract
contained a stipulation that the
cost of the building should be paid
only from such fund. . . .
The assessment and collection of a
tax on the property of the inhabi
tants of a municipality in the future
for the benefit of a particular In
dividual and In payment of an obli
gation incurred by the municipal
authorities, necessarily Implies a
debt or liability against the munici
pality which tlie holder Is entitled
to have paid with money derived
from taxation. ... A contract
to pay a certain sum in tho future
with Interest out of money to be
thereafter raised by general taxa
tion from all the people ... is
manifestly a debt or liability against
tlie municipality, and no technical
process of reasoning, legal acumen
or jugglery of words can mako tho
fact otherwise. ...
To hold otherwise would bo to
make an unwarranted distinction
between tho taxpayers In their or
fanfaod pnpnHty ntid 1h same per.
sous as Individuals. Tho money
must come from the taxpayers w hat
ever may bo the language of tho law
authorizing Its exaction
The opinion refers to the provisions
of the act as a subterfuge ami says If
tills moans can be used to build a
courthouse it can bo also used to
build highways, bridges, jails and
like corporate expenses.
The constitution was intended to
protect the taxpayers. Its language
Is plain and unambiguous, and tho
courtis not Justified lu giving It a
strained or astute interpretation to
avoid Individual or local hardship.
It Is its duty to enforce tho provis
ions as written, according to their
plain and obvious meaning, and not
to permit It to be circumvented hy
shifting the burden of a debt from
the municipal entity to the taxpay
ers. Clatsop County is now )70,000 In
debt and the new courthouse Involv
ed the expenditure of over f 100,000.
