The indoor baseball association was
called to order Tuesday by charm an J.
G. Elgin and course of action for the
season discussed. It was decided to
wait few weeks before electing cap
tain. Regular practice will begin as soon
as arrangements for the use of the arm

settled. There is every reason to think

son. All of last years players are back
but Howell and Edwards, while there
are experienced men among the Fresh

of last week, and pays the following
tribute to Judge Burnett's sincerity and
eloquence: SIN former years the Nestor
of the Oregon bar, John Burnett, OF Cor
wallis, was never missed from term of
circuit court in the old Lane county court
house. His specially was as counsel for
defense in criminal trial. With we'll
worn clothes and flannel shirt he would
stand before the jury pleading with no
small degree of earnestness for his client,
and in case of great necessity the tears
could be made to course adown his
rugged, furrowed cheeks. The prosecu-
ton often accused the judge of stimulat-
ing the tears but we believe they came |
from the heart of the jealous advocate"
