Up to the sixth the errors were few knd scat tering and hits were scanty and inef fective, with the seore 3 to 1 in favor of Salem. A hit by Johnson, followed by an error by Fay, on account of an injury which he had received! to a fin ger on his throwing hand in the pre vious inning, another hit by, Patterson, followed by a hit by Graves and an jrror by Bayn in left field, Vancouver scored four runs. In the first half of the seventh Fav leil out with a hit, Lougheedi was hit by the pitcher anil Si Davis- swatted th leather out for a three-bagger, let ting in his advance men and landing him safely upon third with nobody out, and Davis finally stole home while the Infants were napping with the ball in their pockets. This made the score 6 to 5 in favor of Salem. In the seventh, on account of a combination of errors by Davis and Downie, and two singles, Vancouver made four more runs, bring ing their total up to nine, while the Raglans in the first half of the eighth could only ' increase their chalk marks tw numbers and the game ended af ter the first half of the ninth; with the result as above given. Califf and Gregory, the pitchers for Salem and Vancouver respectively, wnile they were "found" frequently, held down their positions well and it was due to no fault of theirs that the game turned out as it did. Califf struck out six men and Gregory eight, and the former gave one man a complimentary transportation to first and the latter three. The errors were all bunched up in the last three innings of the game and outside of that, and in spite of it, on account of the frequent kitting, the game was a most interesting one throughout. ; i j Several weak positions were discover ed, at least more plainly evidenced as a result of Sunday's game and it is quite probable that some important changes will be made in the line-up of the Raglans before the next series of games is played. Manager Preble, too, will also sign some new men in bis team. i Summary of Game.' Stolen bases, Johnson, '. Lee, Fay, Lougheed 2, Nebring, Bayn 2. Struck out, by Califf 6; by (Gregory 8.

Improvements in the Country South of Town-How Different Things Looi ! After the Absence of a Decade The j i Tlie ! Fruits and Scenery Challenge the Admiration of the Beholder. In speaking of the many changes that ; have taken place in Salem and vicinity during the past decade and a half a lady who has been absent during the greater portion of that time, was called to aecount by one'of her friends a ort i !2i t ffivin? the official who remarked, "I can't understand i se f of a double purpose, that of oporat why you speak of the changes, for I ) tng his mill and threshing his flax in don't see the evidences of them." The lady replied by calling the at tention of her friend to the fact that of a large coterie of young people who were boon companions ia Salem' fifteen years ago, only one or two of the young men who formed the maie membership therein were now in Salem, the rest having gone, to fields of usefulness away from Salem, while a large number of the ladies had also made their homes r elsewhere. To1 appreciate fully the changes, and especially the betterments and improve ments ia a country where such things work slowly, yet with continuity and steadiness, one should absent himself for a time, and on his return the chang es will "be fructified unto j you, ' to paraphrase the words of Lanneelot Bob bo, in the Merchant of Venice. The writer is led tothe foregoing in troductory by the wonderful changes In that portion of Marion county which lies to the southward of this city ia the district now well known i as Liberty. Where but s few years since the fit sapling kissed the azure sky with its conical tip, where the oak grub dwelt ss proud - owner of the soil, today the bloom of thousands of fruit trees greet the eye, and their perfume fills the cir sumambient air. Where the Wild grouse gave forth his solemn hoot, and tie gay pheasant beat his drum ia the free woodland, in the spring; where an Wea sional deer stalked in the open&fes, aad the gay squirrel leaped from biigh to bough, today are beautiful holies, snd all the evidences of that agrarian enltnre that makes the country life of the United States so attractive, rand calls thereto the strength and brawn so eharaete'ristie of the North American farmer. . i.. ;-1 nere today where all was either wild, or if under cultivaton, only in part, and I thus barely returning his labor to the sower in wheat and other cereals, to day Ithree thousand aeres return to their owners find caretakers thousands of rounds of delicious prunes and hundreds of bushels of " those grand red aprdes for which Oregon is so well and truly famous, and acres of small berries will soa begin to turn off their valuable and delectable crops.

EUGENE BOSSE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY IN PROCURING , TEAMS FOR SEEDING. The Present Prospects Are That He WU1; Have Only About Half the Amount He Expected to. Put In Fall ' Sown Flax and Fertilizer Are Great Success. III . ; ; Eugene Rosso, the flax expert, who is engineering the flax growing and fibre producing industry in the Willamette valley with the prospect of locating a linen mill here within the next year, is pretty much discouraged over the oiu t look this season on account of . the shortage of available help which he needs now more than any other time be cWuse of the lateness of the season and. the importance of getting in his crop art theiearliest date possible. I Up o the present time he has only been able to put in about 30 acres of flax and there are only about 25 sown alt SciO, where he expected to have at least lOO and 125 acres respectively, nowyatid the prospects are that he will not fce able to secure more than 300 acres Jail told, whereas he figured on having at least 600. In several cases, so anxious was he to get his early sow-j ing done that he offered $5 per day for team' hire but was unable to secAire t even It this price. What flax he has sown, however, and especially . that which he sowed last fall as an exper mient which has attained a height of four feet an,i "till growing, is doing nicelvland he expects that the onalitr f fih? whteh h . .n, that of , t pap , thtt a . " . j X - . 5: i. it; : ijun, , ii. niiru a luing is possiuie, I or the quality of flax realized heretofore has been considered par excellence, j He is also having some trouble in the matter of power to operate his milling plant ,on account of the water having been turned out of the mill race; in .or der to carry on some repairs and it is probable that he will go to Portland within the next few days and purchase a portable steam engine whichhe can the field to save sartmg expenses. Notwithstanding all of his troubles, which are of a temporary nature, he is quite confident he will make a suc cess of the venture and will have a lin en mill established here in the course of another year. . Mr. Bosse is especially proud of his experiment in fall sown flax, it being the first' time this venture has been made fin the country, as the one acre which? was put in last fall has; proven a succesS even beyond his expectations.- The flax spon this piece of ground has now attained a height of four feet and is still growing, while the earliest spring flax be has sown is out of the ground only about four or five inches, but doing nicely. Last winter wss an nn usually severe one for flax and he feels confident that he will not enconn ter another such more than oace in a dozen or twenty years. ; He also made an experiment with fertilizer, upon a small scale, upon his sere of fall flax and is highly; pleased with the result. He spread a speeeial compound fertilizer upon a small strip of the acre tract and this etrip, while thebeight of the plant is not mater ially I increased thereby, the stand is much' heavier, snd Mr. Bosse figures thai jby the use of this fertilizer the yield of flax per aere. can be increased by almost double and at a cost of not to exceed $5 per acre, a very small item of expense in comparison to the value of the increased yield. ! o Bsanth Blgastai QTOS lt tmi n Ham lwm Ea-a li ' i Miss ,Leda Burea went to Portland yesterday afternoon to spend a week visiting friends ia that city. Socialists Hold Meeting. The first gun- of the campaign in Marion county, from; a Socialistic standpoint, was fired , at the Auburn school house, a mile east of the asylum, on last Saturday night, when the resi dents of the i neighborhood gathered in a body from far and near, to listen to the Socialist I county candidates ex pound the doctrines of their party, and tell of - the deplorable : conditions now confronting the American people1.
