Badly Managed.

The Salem Journal Gays OF tie bese
ball contest, which has been so inexens-
ably mixed up, rn,ii interest in it has
pretty well died out:
The Examiner is mistaken in stating
mat the Salem LeveQaes aud the Port
land MonogranIs will figh. il out at
Portland next week Immediately al
ter the game with the Albany Colts sew
eral weeks since, in which the Leveanes
were worsled, the team d.stsandei Tor
the season, not thinking it polite TO re-
main organized and to keep in training
all summer. AT the present time scarce
iy one hail OF the members OF the team
are IN the city. great many being either
~ the coast or in the mountains, and il
would be almost impossible 10 get the
team together in SO short time. How
ever. we feel quite coniiden; that had
the Leyeqnes been notified several weeks
since, thus giving them time TO prepare
Tor the contest, our local team would
have represented Oregon in the cham
pionship games. As it is, since the I4e-
veques will not play the Monograms. it
Is likely the Portland team will be the
champions from Oregon IN the iouEna-
menf.
The whole tournament gives evidence
OF improper management on the part OF
It's managers.

the paper hanger, who has spent several
weeks in the mountains, along the North
Fork of the Santiam, returned yesterday
from Gold creek, where be and his son
had each taken claim. Mr.. Hall
brought back with him several samples
OF fine ore taken from the ledge which
they have located and it has the appenr-
ance of being rich with the yellow stuff.
Over 100 claims have already been locat-
cd in the district and it promises to be
as rich as the Quartxville region. The
only drawback to the immediate devel-
opment OF the find Is the inacessibility OF
the region, as all supplies have to be
carried in over q rough mountain trail.

letters from the east in regard to their
new invention, the air motor bicycle. 1t
is believed that ii will prove great sue

ing are some OF the advantages OF the air
motor bicycle over the old chain and
sprocket wheel: II would be an easy
matter for the rider TO furnish the mo-
tive power by pumping air into the ma
cline, with bis foot; the speed is not
governed by the amount OF revolutions
Of the pedals, but by the amount OF pres-
sure in the reservoir; the frame Is con-
verted into air chambers, with pneumatic
air seat and air brake. This bicycle il
