In speaking of green corn, egg plant,
water melons, musk melons, green peas
and numerous other vegetables, and
fruits as we'll, our section of the state is
mentioned more frequently than any
other. 1t is particularly noticeable that
our farmers are the first to ship their
supplies to these markets, taking the
lead, as usual. in this matter.
Not alone in this particular, but in
many, do we find that The Dalles is not
nonentity, but it is famous everyW here
for its wealth of resources. How often
have those who are old residenters taken
cognizance of the fact that those of their
neighbors who, having amassed wealth
here and becoming uneasy, remove to
other places, only to lose what they left
with, and in time return, coming to the
conclusion that they had made a mis-
take in turning their backs on place of
such varied opportunities for gaining a
livelihood. It would have been well for
such had they looked before they leaped.
There is sufficient proof all around US
that person may look far and wide be-
fore finding better city to choose as
their abiding place than The Dalles.

State League.

Meriden again lost to the Blues at Elm City park yesterday. The game was slow and not at all exciting. As usual, New Haven outbatted the oppos- ing team and for a change outflelded them. Meriden could only get four hits off of Johnston. He pitched up to his usual standard, giving but one base on balls and hitting one man. Miriam also pitched good game His three bases on balls were given to Ashe Clabby's game in the field was fine. He made eight assists without an error. But both he and Luchia stood and watched a foul drop which either could have caught without trouble.
 Meriden scored first in the fourth. Cusick was safe on Dietrich's error and scored on Theisen's hit and Johnston's error They scored again in the ninth on Theisen's hit, Howell's sacrifice, base on balls and Dietrich's error.
 New Haven scored twice in the fourth on Pfenninger's hit Clabby's sacrifice, base on balls to Ashe and two errors by Somers. In the fifth Duffy drove one between Courtney's feet and was forced at second on Dietrich's ground er\ O'Brien and Pfenninger singled and Dietrich was caught at home on Clabby's grounder to Miran. With the bases full Ashe was given his third base on balls, forcing in run. In the seventh, after Dietrich had gone out, O'Brien and Pfenninger singled. Pfen- ninger was forced out by Clabby's grounder. Clabby stole second, and both scored on Ashes single Luchia fouled out to 1heisen, ending the in- ming. In the eighth with but> one out and Parent and Duffy on third and second respectively, Duffy walked out to his place in left on Dietrich's foul fly to Cusick The coacher as we'll as he was evidently asleep and he was easily caught at second.

ANGLO-RUSSIAN WAR SCARE.

London, Aug. 5.-The Anglo Russian war scare is spreading beyond political circles, and the stock market is seri- ously depressed consols being included in the decline. Alarmist reports of Russian preparations are coming from several quarters with intimations that Russia is deliberately forcing a crisis in the far east.
 Diplomacy is extraordinarily active, and the wires between London and St. Petersburg have been monopolized for the past twenty-four hours by govern ment business.
 Replying to a question to-day in the house of commons, MT. Curzon, the parliamentary secretary for the foreign office, said that her majesty's govern ment had heard that a great power was endeavoring to obtain a port on the Persian gulf. Two-thirds of the trade of the gulf was British, MT. Curzon added, wherefore the government was specially interested in the matter. The power mentioned, it is said, is beyond doubt Russia.

COLONEL RoosBvELTs LETTER

Discussion Concerning Secretary AL
 gers Publication of the Correspond
 ence
 Washington, Aug. 5.-The feeling of surprise in Washington official circles caused by Secretary Alger's publication of a private letter from Theodore Roosevelt has not subsided. The won- der that a high government officer could take such course has even in- creased since yesterday when it was not so generally understood that Colo nel Roosevelt's letter was not only a personal, but confidential one.
 The result to-day is some very severe criticism of the secretary of war, and in this criticism any discussion of the propriety or impropriety of Colonel Roosevelt's remarks seems to have been forgotten. The more the Roosevelt let ter is examined, even in the form given to the press yesterday the more piain- ly it appears that Colonel Roosevelt was writing in the most confidential way To those persons in Washington who take this view of the case, and who are talking about the incident of yesterday, it even appears that the
 
 personal friendship of General Alger.
 Attention is called to one of the last words of the extract published by the secretary, in which the author refers to the archaic weapons of some of the volunteers.
 Persons acquainted with Colonel Roosevelt and other persons who have a keener sense of hunor than Secretary Alger unhesitatingly detect a trace of wit in the use of the word archaic" They know that Colonel Roosevelt is not so grossly deficient in tact as to use such word in such a context except in pleasantly.
 That the letter was a personal one is not denied by the secretary, but he has not yet given an explanation to any one of his purpose in publishing a confiden- tial communication which might injure it's author, and from the publication of which no general good could possibly result.

Waterbury, Aug. 5.-Waterbury de- feated the New London team this af- ternoon by superior hitting. Lynch was touched up for twelve hitsy while Manley had only two against him. In the fifth inning Waterbury began to lombard New Londons twirler, and when the smoke cleared away 1t was found that five hits, a base on balls, and an error resulted in five runs. The home team having scored two runs be- fore, the lead was so strong--New London having made but one run-that the situation seemed hopeless to the visitors and they lost heart. Up to this point the Colts played sharp and snappy game but for the remaining innings their work was listless. The score:
 Waterbury 70 0 0 3 5 0 o *--1O New London o 0 0 1 0 0 0 O. 1
 Hits-Waterbury F, New London 2. Errors-Waterbury 1, New London 3. Batteries-Manley and Manning; Lynch and Lamar.

WON'T COOPERATE WITH UPTON
English Yacht Racing Associations Fall to Comply With the Challengers Wishes.

 to Comply With the Challenger's
 Wishes.
 London, Aug. 5.-Sir Thomas Lipton consulted the Yacht Racing association and the Royal Yacht squadron in re- gard to his challenge for the America S cup as matter of courtesy in order to allow them to cooperate in giving to the challenge a broadly international character.
 The council of the Yacht Racing as- sociation replied that their Jurisdiction was confined to English waters and did not include the Royal Ulster Yacht club. Therefore they were unable to act officially in the matter, but would give informal support to the project.
 The conference with the Royal Yacht squadron was dropped for reasons which have not been announced, and the challenge will issue solely from the Royal Ulster club.
 It is an open secret that Sir Thomas Lipton does not sympathize with the suggestion made by prominent mem- bers of the Royal Yacht squadron that certain conditions should accompany the challenge.

AT RR1nGEpnRr

Bridgeport, Aug 5.--A game of ball such as the patrons of the sport thor oughly enjoyed was played on the Newfeld grounds, this afternoon, with Danbury as the opposing team, but it had one drawback for the local root erS"-the visitors won by the score of S-S There was one of the largest at- tendances of the season. The game was fairly well played on both sides. In the first inning pass to first by Corcoran resulted in Danbury scoring and two errors and ground hit result ed in three more runs in the second in- ming. In the seventh inning the "Hat- ters" were fortunate in punching their hits and again icreased their score by three additional runs. Though the "Orators" had twelve hits to their credit against nine for Danbury, the result shows plainly that they were scattered. Foster at short for Bridge port made two costly errors which contributed greatly to four runs for Danbury. In the early part of the game the players from that city com menced their usual tactics of disputing the umpire's decision, but Umpire Ma lone would not tolerate it and after the first few innings the game was played without any friction. The score:
 Bridgeport i. o 0 0 1 l 0 0 1--3 Danbury <. Ii 1 0 o 0 3 0 0-8
 Hits-Bridgepo 12, Danbury g. Err rors-Bridgepor 6, Danbury 7. Bat teries-Corcoran and O'Rourke; Morris and Phelps.
 With three bases on balls and sin gle out of four times up yesterday Ashe can rejoice in per cent of 1000 in batting for the game. He had no chances in the field.
 O'Brien and Pfenninger batted well yesterday. Their hits came at the right time, too.
 Two things are necessary before New Haven can defeat to win the pennant. These are new skinned diamond and a proper amount of coaching during the game.

SCOTTISH HUMOR.
1t Is Often Quite Lost to the Speaker
Himself.

However much or little truth there
may be in the aphorism about the
joke, the Scotchman and the surgical
operation, it will for long remain
quoted as an inlallible characteristic
Of the Scottish nation. The English
are persistent in their idea that a
Scotchman cannot see a joke, while
the Scotch return the compI-
ment by accusing the Southrons of
approaching nothing short of horse
play, and being totally incapable of
comprehending Scottish humor.
Either or both accusations may be
equally true. But ii is an undoubted
fact that the humor apparent to 9TH
ers is sometimes quite lost to the
Scotch speaker himself.
As an example, the case may be
cited of a Scotch beadle who, upon
his death bed, was asked by the min
lister why he seemed to be so depressed
and unhopeful. 1T is ma that, meein-
ster," was the reply; q was just mind
in that I've buried 59S folkin the par
ish sim ha' been beadle; and its sad
disappointin' that | Gamma make it up
to the clean sax hunder." As it is
difficult to get a direct reply out of
a thorough-going Scot, so it is also al
most impossible TO "cOrner" him
