During the fourth another run was
earned by Norfolk. as Weddige singled

no more run-gettng for the visitors
though, until the eighth, in which we'd
dige placed hrand-new ball in secluded
corner over the left-held fence. OF course
he could have walked. sauntered, or any
thing else but he actually ran around
the bases. Newark made her last run IN
the sixth, and to O'Hagan belongs the
praise. He swung the bat against the
ball so hard that It went clear down into
centre-feld, and he then ran around to
third base. Weihl smothered high ny

TIE NEW n. p. MANAGEMENT

From all accounts printed both east
and west, we may expect some results in
the way OF better business methods on
the Northern Pacific railroad now that it
has a new president in harmony with all
interests. Mr.. G. S. Melen is what is
known as a managing president. Ex SEC
rotary Of War Lamont, who was talked Of
for the place is made vice president and
Mr.. Frederick ID. Underwood general
manager. So it seems to be in strong
hands all the way through. Previous to
the settlement of the question as to who
should succeed President Winter on his
retiring, the Railway Age had this to say
of the difficulties to be overcome:
1t is little absurd that there should
be 80 much difficulty in finding a presi
dent for the Northern Pacific. If it was
simply what may be called straight
railroad proposition"-tbat is if it were
only matter of finding a competent man
to take hold of and operate the lines com
prising the systematic difficulty would
probably be removed. There are plenty
of men in the country who could do that I;
and most of them would be glad to un.
dertake the task, for the presidency OF
the Northern Pacific is position of some
honor. But it Is not a straight railroad
proposition. There is strong and gen
eral feeling that the man who takes the
place will have very delicate and ditf'
cult job. Though president in name, his
authority will necessarily be more or less
subordinate to Mr.. Hill. II the property
could be handled independently as a
competitor of the Great Northern, the
way would be clear. II the two roads
could be formally united and operated
jointly as one system, the earnings going
into one joint account, then also one man
might succeed in handling it. But as
the proposition stands, it is not one which
tempts the best men in the country; yet
it is likely to need more ability than any.
one except one OF the best men is expect
ed to have.

Every Hair ~ Numbered.

Those who are thirstng for the knowl.
edge of the average number of hairs on
the human head will now be able to sat
isfy their longing, says the Westminster
Gazette. A number of savants have Just
been counting a square inch of hairs on
the heads of several persons and have
come to the conclusion that the average
number is 1866 hairs. BY measuring the
surface OF the entire head it will be easy
to calculate the number of hairs on the
average pate. Another set of "hair.
scientists" have made different calculs
tons. According to them head of fair
hair is made up of l43,006 hairs (the six
at the end Of the round figure is fine; il
might almost be reckoned among the
hair splittingsl; dark head produces
l05 900 hairs, and red poll only 5000
The reason for this difference is that fair
hair is of the finest and red hair of the
coarsest quality.

THE OUTLOOK FOR CATTLE.

Cattle raising has for many years been
a leading industry of eastern Oregon.
SAYS The Dalles Times. Mountaineer, and
has been one OF the principal sources Of
wealth, and through the running high
prices that have prevailed for beef the
past six months, has received renewed
impetus. But an examination of the
causes that brought about recent high
prices does not justify the belief that the
cattle business will improve or even hold
it's own another year. 1t was not an ad
vance in the price of beef or an increased
demand that caused the rise this year,
however few more cattle were shipped
to Europe this year than ever before.
The primary cause OF the rise in the
price of cattle was the immense crop of
corn raised in the Middle Western states
in 1896 and the low price of feed prevail
ing. With corn at from to l6 cents a
bushel in the Mississippi valley it WAS
possible for buyers to come west and pay
good prices for cattle to feed. They could
pay from $23 to S25 per head for steers,
ship them east TO the corn producing
country, and after feeding them from
three to six months put them on the
market at the customary price of beef.
and thus make profit on their corn.
Such conditions will not exist next year.
The demand for wheat, caused by the
shortage of crops throughout the world,
will cause a rise in the price of corn to
such figure that it will no longer be
profitable TO ship cattle half way across
the continent to be fed. This will reduce
the demand for Oregon cattle to the Pa
cifc coast markets, and unless this il
stim ulated by an increased demand that
may come from Klondyke, prices viii
rule lower next year. But should IS 600
or 100. 900 miners find employment in thu
northern regions next season, they viii
require immense quantities of beef, anC
must be supplied from the Pacific coas
states. Without such an increased de
mand our cattle raisers must be conten
with lower prices than they realized THU
season.
