HARD ONE TO LOSE.
Portland Defeated in the Ninth
Inning.
AFTER A CLOSELY FOUGHT GAME
WITH FALL RIVER.

ONE Remarks About the Umpire Which
u Are Particularly Opportune-Not One
of the Maine Teams Lands a Victory.
What has this league ever done, and
what has Portland ever done, that either
should be buruened with such AL incon-
petent, in the shape OF an umpire as
Mike Bradley has proven himself to bef
In no city so far as We can learn has he
given satisfaction, and with such men as
Long open for an engagement, it seems
too bad that VIC should have to endure
any su oh exhibition as that which
wearied people yesterday.
1t is bad enough to have Il man off on
balls and strikes, but Bradley can't or
Gioesn't Judge base decisions accurately
Or even approximately SO.
j Then we haven't said umpire before
this season, and promise not TO again,
but really there was a call for something
of the sort.
Yesterdays game was an exceedingly
interesting one III every respect, and it
was creditable TO Fall River to have won
lit, even If they are league leaders. and
we almost tail enders. Our hits outnum-
bered the visitors but Marston's men
punched their hits TO better advantagesand
Bradley rendered all the assistance
possible. There we go, umpire again,
and we promised not to mention that
subject again, but it is pretty hard not
to.
Portland's scores came in the fourth,
fifth and sixth innings, one in each. The
first came in this way. leighton
hunted one to Klobedanz, who threw
wildly and Magoon batted him in.
The next was earned, Patterson,
Cayanaugh and Slater hitting singles in
succession. Good hitting was the
principal cause of the third and last run.
O'Rourke was hit, but was forced out on
Magoon's attempted sacrifice to klobe-
danz. Then Duncan and Musssr made
us all eontented and happy by drives to
the outfleld which scored the run.
fl was in the fourth that Bradley made
one OF his weird decisions. Slater was
playing eight or ten feet from first and
TIE ball was thrown down to hold him.
He stepped down ard rut his foot on the
base, at least two seconds before the ball
reached Kennedy. He WAS declared out

while driving with Hon. A. A. Strout,
Mrs. Strout and Mrs. Higgins at Cum
berland Mills. As the horses, driven by
Mr.. Strout, neared the railroad track,
the gates were lowered for the passage Of
a train. This frightened the horses, one
OF them becoming unmanageable, break
ing the whiffletrse and throwing Mr.
Higgins, his wife and Mr.. Strout from

Almost an Accident.

That there is special providence
looking after the o. r. & N is evil
denced by the fact that no accident
involving large number of lives has
ever occurred on it, with the one
exception of the accident at the Cas-
cades several years ago. This morn
ing there was close call for some of
the railroad boys caused by an opera
tor going to sleep. The operator at
Bonneville had orders for No. %, east
bound, to meet No 81 at Hood River,
but when the train passed he was
asleep. The result was that No. 22, a
double header came dashing along up
posedly with clear track. Fortunately
a pin broke uncoupling the front en-
gine. Jack George, the engineer, pull
ed ahead so as to give the train time to
stop,and stopped his engine on the high
trestle this side of Hood River. He had
hardly stopped before 81 came around
the curve running at full speed, and it
was only by prompt action collision
was averted. Had the pin not broken
the trains would haye met on the river
bank on series of short curves and
nothing but kindling wood would have
been left of them. 1t is probable also,
that several of the railroad boys would
have been killed and all because an
operator went to sleep at his post.

A VOICE FROM CROOK.
Judge Benefits Election Urged by Q
Crook County Democrat.

CfOOk COunty DeInOcIbts
Editor TINES -MoUNTAINEER:
Now that the on-Scott-Telegram
faction has unearthed Judge Northup
and brought him to Fight from the
legal 'archieves of political oblivion
and crowned him with the foreshadow-
ing halo of their own corruption, 1t
has made not only probable, but al
most certain the defeat of the republi-
can nominee for congress. Mr.. Ellis.
1t is what the democrats have been
wanting for, it is the opportunity of
years. Such a chance they have never
had before, and may never have again.
If the democrats of Oregon will only
stand together, as they should, A. 5.
Bennett will be our next congressman
fro the second district. 1t is the op-
portunity for which we have been
fighting and laboring for years. Old
men who have grown gray in the un-
firing faith of the party may now look
forward with hopes of at last seeing
their beloved principles victorious
Now is the time to throw aside all
petty jealousies and minor issues, and
Fl ght for the party. Fight as you have
never fought before. If we be indeed
democrats fighting for a great princi-
pie, it is time to show ourselves. Do
not be like the Telegram, cringing,
covering puppet to the Oregonian, a
blot on democracy, and a disgrace to
the principles which we advocate.
Mr.. Bennett is a democrat. To the
democracy further euology is unneces-
sary. He is a man of decision, of ac-
tion: capable and true to his convic-
| tions, and to elect him as our represen-
tative will be a triumph for the demo-
I, Gratis of Oregon, such as they have
never known-a triumph over hossism
and "Oregonianism." We have been
ruled by bossism long enough-by ST.
mon and Scott and corruption. We
do not knew much about Judge
Northup, but it is enough to know that
he is championed by the Oregonian
and the Telegram; and the people of
Oregon have had enough down right
rot and pollution from their home. to
keep their weather eye open in the fu-
| ture.
Vote for Bennett. He is not in the
ring, nor of them; he is a democrat in
the truest sense of the word and a man
| upon whom we can depend. A vote
for Bennett is a vote for democracy,
and a vote for democracy is vote for
your own interests, and those of your
neighbors. We.can elect him. Let US
be men and do it and not be- traitors to
our principles. B. CHAs. MILLER.

The Opening Of the Locks to the Issue in
Eastern Oregon.
1t is noticeable fact that the DEM
ocratic papers in the second district
are unanimous in approving the course
of the Oregonian regarding the trot-
ting out of Judge Northrup as an in
dependent candidate. There are many
democrats who will be for Northrup
till election day, they will go to the
polls and every mother son of them
vote for Bennett. The democrats are
not going to throw away the only
chance of victory that has been given
them for years.-Dalles Chronicle.
No, Bro. Chronicle, the Democrats
don't want any more Ellis. We want
a man in congress that we know will
go after the lock ring and let us know
what is the matter, and see that the
locks are completed this century. Such
a man is A. S. Bennett, our towusman
"a man that won't be turned aside for
trifes, and is not afraid to speak his
honest opinions. There should be no
politics in Eastern Oregon but the
opening of the locks this year.

BIRTHDAA PARTY.
Miss Florence Hollister Celebrates Her
Sixth Birthday.

Sixth Birthday.
The first May party of the season
was celebrated Friday afternoon at
the residence of DR.. o. c Hollister.
The occasion commemorated the
birthday of little Florence. over whose
sunny head just six summers have
passed. Very quaint looked the little
guests as they arrived with their Dolly
! Warden hats, lace bonnets and Tam
O'Shanters, and then the disrobing.
Like humming birds pruning their
wings the little fairies shook out their
dainty dresses. One little sweetheart,
the hostess, wore her bonny brown
hal" in Grecian knot adorned with
pink ribbons. Her cream colored
cashmere fell from the dainty pulled
yoke in graceful folds, red, brown, blue
and white were the prevailing colors
worn. Only wings were needed to
transform them into veritable angels.
and we wonder if beyond the pearly
gates more fair or lovely could exist.
Surely sweeter laughter never was
heard; SUMMER faces never we're seen
for grace and harmony pervaded
every movement of the bright happy
children. The supper table was ar
tistically arranged with center piece
of smilax frightened with pink roses
| and f1anked with two exquisite vases,
holding white lilacs and pansies. Six
| pink candles illuminated the birth day
cake. while handpainted bon bon
boxes tied with pink ribbon and filled
with choice candy was placed before
each guest. There were pink napkins
| and pink cake too besides cake rab-
| bits, ducks and fish. Lemonade was
served in tiny glasses, and last, but not
least, ice cream.
Then came Mrs. Hogan, who photo
graphed tho ninteen little girls out of
doors standing with back ground of
vines running over the lattice work.
Many and beautiful were the pres
ents bestowed; but birthday parties
cannot last forever so just as the
clouds threatened rain the little ones
trudged home. Those present were:
Margaret Bronson, Genevieve Fish,
Zoe Cunning, Hazel Waud, Ruth and
Mabel McInnis, Drue Moody, Bunny
Briggs. Trudie Rowland, Mary Varney,
Lulu Nichols, Jessie and Elizabeth
Macarthur, Nita and Crystal Bennett,
