Plan to Reorganize Rowland Pulp Com

pany.
4 Bangor, December 30.-Mr. L. A.
Sumner of Boston. one of the stookhold-
ers of the Rowland Pulp and Paper Com
pany, and one of it's heaviest creditors is
in the city engaged in promoting plan
py which the affairs of the corporation
may be conducted on a new basis at the
close of the present proceedings in insol-
venoy.
A few weeks ago the stockholders OF
the corporation, as is we'll known, met
in Portland and agreed to petition for
insolvency proceedings in their case. A
committee was appointed to consider
the proposal for further operations at
the Rowland mills.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Sumner, one of the
heavy creditors of the company and a
stakeholder, began to arrange plan.
Mr.. Summers plan is said to be this:
He will ask the creditors to sign off for
so per cent of their claims then he will
assess the present stockholders 20 per cent
of their holdings, for funds with which
to begin operat ions again. In exchange
for the assessment an amount of the pre-
ferred stock of the company, equal to the
assessment of 20 per cent will be issued
to stockholders forwarding the same, and
common stock to the amount now held
will be issued to those who agree to the
assessment. All this occurs at the close
of the insolvency proceedings of course.

THELEAGUE GAME.
When the professionals took the field
there was considerable applause, for tn .
Lewistons who brought over good
crowd of enthusiasts with them, and who
also have many admirers here in Port
land. Whipple got the first goal for
Portland after few minutes OF hard
playing, and hardly had the ball been
put in play again when Foster, by a
drive from the ceatre of the hall sue
ceeded In getting the second goal, much
to W. Broadbent's disgust, as the ball
would have been such an easy one to
stop.
The Lewiston's didn't seem to be up to
their work. and two more goals were
scored by Portland with ease. Then the
Lewist woke up to the fact THAI they
were dropping the game too quickly, and
began to play like fends. A minute or
SO of rapid work and Conelley was struck
in the mouth with stick and had seven
teeth knocked down his throat. The in
iared man was taken to his dressing
room and doctor summoned from the
audience to attend him. Wilson the sub
stitute went on to the floor in Conelley s
place and play was again resumed. Hard
IL a minute later aud time was called
again. This was for three inch splinter
from Fosters stick, which had been
driven into Fitzgerald's leg, and this
man was also taken to the dressing room.
When Fitzgerald was able to get out onto
the floor again to play out the game he
was heartily cheered. j. Dawson scored
Portland's fifth consecutive goal by a
pretty PASS play. The Lewiston men then
got their first goal by passing the ball
back and forth across the hall and
driving it into the goal in a very clever
manner. The Portland goal was left en-
tirely unprotected during this play, and
this made the Lewiston's first goal are
easy one to win. The period ended with
Portland having seven goals to his credit
and with. Lewiston only /.
In the second period the visitors braced
I'D little and put up remarkably live
ly game. But uhoy were clearly out
classed and disheartened, and we're not
able to accomplish much. The two.goals
that Lewiston won in this period should
never have been scored, as In both cases
the Portland goal was left unRuarded
and Allen seemed unable to stop the easy
drives. Four more goals were scored by
Portland in tho third period, the last one
being Gagged just as the gong for the end
of the period was sounded.
Both goal tenders did good work,
especially was this true of Broadhent,
who plays his position for all it is worth.
The Portlands grew very careless towards
the end Of the game, having found the
Lewistons too easy to worry much about.
Foster payed an exceptionally good game
and was we'll applauded for his work.

Lswieton was defeated by Portland last
evening polo in City hall by score OF
70 to 3. The visitors started in with
great energy, hut unfortunately met
with come severe accidents at the outse
and played in Iistless manner dnring
the first period. Later they got down to
n better style Of work, but the lead of the
portlands was then SO great that the
visitors were unable to catch up. Despite
the fact that it was rather one sided
contest the game was an interesting one
to witness, and the 100 people presen t
thoroughly enjoyed the evening
THE AMATEUR GAME.
Previous to the game between the Lew
istons and Portlands, two amateur teams
played a game which for all round
smuggling, smashing and exciting plays
was more interesting than the league
contest. These amateur teams were the
Forest Citys and South Portlands, and
livelier set of PLAYERS have never been on
City half floor than were the young men
on these teams. Only two periods were
played, and the game resulted, South
Portlands, 8: Forest Citys, l. johnson,
formerly of the Portlands was the referee,
and he allowed almost any kind OF play
ing to go without question. So warm
did the game become that in the second
period R.T. Sterling was hit with polo
stick and had his nose broken. This &C.
cident to the Forest City's best rush
doubtless had great deal to do with
that teams defeat. L he summary OF this
amateur game was MS follows:
South Port1and-Wood bury, first rush !;
Spear, second rush; Whitney, centre:
Flavin, half back; MoGovern, goal Sub
stitutes, Anderson and York.
Forest City-R. T. Sterling, first rush !;

Ellis name before the convention.
Brown eulogized Ellis as man who
had worked his way from the plow to
one of the greatest positions the state
could give him.
"I have the honor and privilege of
naming Eastern Oregon's greatest states
man, w. R. Ellis,'' he said. (Cheers.)
His statesmanship, he declared, lowered
as did his physical body. 'sFrom the
sagebrush plains to the tree-clad hills
of the Cascades the voice of the people
would declare itself for Ellis. AS a con-
gresham, he had advanced just as rap
idly as it was possible for any one to
rise. The speaker urged Ellis candI-
dacy on the ground that it was not wise
to change for new and untried man,
thus adding one more to two untutored
congressman. Ellis was euloglzed be-
cause of his honor, integrity and man
hood.
Belts of Umatilla followed in second
ing the nomination of Ellis on behalf of
Umatilla county.
District Attorney Hume arose to also
second the nomination of Ellis. Hume
was greeted with loud cheers, especially
when he stated that con behalf of
twenty -four members of the Multnomah
county delegation. he seconded the NOM
ination of w. R. Ellis"
Allen of Columbia county also second
ed the nomination of Ellis.

Gen. Viewers Lecture.

The Baldwin opera house was filed
last night with citizens of all parties to
hear Gen. ]. B. Weaver on political is
sues. He is very pleasing speaker,
and has most forcible and convincing
style of oratory. His Populist friends,
who sat we'll up in front, were especially
delighted, and at times the entire house
cheered the veteran campaigner. Gen.
Weaver has faculty of pointing an ar
gument with an epigram, a question or
a jest, and following 1t up with more
extended process of logic. The general
believes that the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties are on the verge of disin-
tegration, comparing their present
strength with the strength of the Whig
party of forty years ago, which "died in
power from the head downward" An
issue arose for which it was not pre-
pared-the slavery question-Which
split alike the Whig and Democratic
parties, giving birth to the Republican
party-a party composed of free-soilers.
History is now repeating ieself, claimed
Mr.. Weaver. An issue has arisen which

free silver issue, which will gather
strength from all parties. Mr.. A. L.
Reese introduced the speaker, and closed
the evening with a collection of free
silver.

a HALE TO EACH SIDE.
The Republican Convention Splits
w. r. Ellis For Congress.
Oreponian

Oregonian.
The Republican convention of the Sec
ond Oregonian district, which met in
Portland yesterday, avoided direct de-
cision of the Multnomah county contro-
versy by seating one-half of each of the
rival delegations. This result was
brought about largely through the in
fuence of Judge George H. Williams.
The convention met in the morning, and
the organization promptly fell into the
hands of the Carey faction. The tempor-
ary chairman, Mr.. Fulton, appointed a
committee of seven on credentials, the
majority of which was known to be un-
friendly to the regular Republican or
ganization. The convention adjourned,
and the committee, at it's session, last
ing several hours, heard addresses by
advocates of the two factions. The re-
suit was three reports to the convention.
The first, signed by four committeeman,
favored seating the Carey faction. The
second, signed by two members, favored
the regular organization. The, third,
signed by Judge Taylor, of Astoria, de-
clared that both were in the wrong, but
favored seating one-half of each delega-
tion. In the debate which followed,
Judge Williams was called upon and
made full and impartial review of the
situation, aud his deduction, and de.
clared that in his opinion Judge Taylor's
report ought to be adopted. And it was,
