PORTLAND. Feb. 2o.-ESpecial.l- When
w. II. Wilson, the famous Kentucky
breeder, was in Oregon he spent some
days at Point Breeze stock farm, the ex-
tensive breeding farm of the VISIONS,
near Baker City. Since the report came
from New York that Wilson had made n
trade with California man for ranch, it
was supposed the Baker City deal was off.
A letter was received here today, however,
from Wilson showing that he is still figur-
ing on the proposition. He is reported as
saying he was convinced that Oregon will
furnish the bone and lung power needed
upon which to breed high class Eastern
stations.

SPEAKING OF DR. DARRIN.

The first thought of almost every one on
hearing a good story is to find some one
else to whom it can be told. Some people
make a few stories stand them in good
stead for long time, and tale is told of
a Vermont man who had just one story,
and who told that on every possible occa-
sion. Not SO with Drs. Darrin. They give
new story of cures every week, or the
almost miraculous effect electricity has on
some afflicted mortal. If you doubt any
longer their ability. call on some of the
following who have been cured: Robert

THE BASEBALL WAR.


can Association Manager Publicly.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.--[Special. president
Spalding, of the Chicago baseball club, has
issued a sensational card in regard to the
withdrawal Of the American Association
from the national agreement. He declares
this action is the work of a few irresponsi-
BILE professional managers with anarchistic
tendencies, and without dollar to lose.
Their object was to get an association club
in Cincinnati. He expresses himself dis
gusted. and fears the public will have a
like feeling, and is not sure but a tempo
rary exile of the national game would be
the best thing for its popularity. Mr..
Brush, who controls the Cincinnati league
franchise, says he will have league club
in that city this year, anyway.

OLD FIREMEN ELIGIBLE.
j Judge Jacobs Opinion Settles the
Wrangle in tho Department.

The opinion of Corporation Counsel
Jacobs, in which he holds that the quail
fications for firemen laid down by the free
holders charter, apply only to men ap-
pointed since its adoption, settles the
question ofthe eligibility of the firemen over
which there has been so much discussion
of late. The cases of Captain Keliehcr
and Henry Hale, the only two against
whom these questions were raised, whose
eligibility has not been passed upon by the
board of fire commissioners, are eligible by
this construction of the charter. 1t also
restores to the service William Hayter and
III. Caswell. whose designations have been
asked for by the commission on the ground
that they are over age.
