incorporation have been filed for the
Hilgard, Granite & Southwestern Rail.
way Company. with capital stock OF
$50, 900 place of business, La Grande.
The incorporators are: J. M. Church,
cashier of the La Grande National
bank; Robert Smith, manager of the
Grand Ronde Lumber Company; ]. M.
Berry, merchant. At meeting of the
stockholders, the following officers
were elected:
President, Robert Smith; vice-presi-
dent, F. s. Stanley; treasurer, j. M.
Church; secretary, E. W. Bartlett.
All the stock is subscribed, and
President Smith has gene to Chicago to
close arrangements for the construction
of the railway from Hilgard, point on
the o. r. & N, seven miles west of
La Grande, to Granite, central point
of the Eastern Oregon mining district.
1t is announced by Secretary BARTLETT
that work on the preliminary survey
will begin at once. The proposed route
is about so miles in length, and fol-
lows the greater part of the way q
water route up the Grande Ronde river.
The road will connect the important
minessof Eastern Oregon with the rich
agriculturl section of Grande Ronde,
and it is assured that La Grande will
be virtually the northern terminus.
Extensive bodies of timber lie contig-
uous to the route. The movement is
hailed with great delight by La Grande
people, who have faith in the financial
ability of the incorporators to carry
out the project. It is stated by off.
cials of the company that one-half the
capital stock was subscribed in Port
land. The movement is regarded az
one of prime importance in the rapid
development of the mineral and agri-
cultural resources of Eastern Oregon.
Another Island Taken.
Washington, Jan. 8.-The United
Sta9es navy has taken possession Of
another island in the East. The news
of the seizure was contained in the fol-
lowing dispatch:
'sGavite, Jan. 8.-On December 21,
Wentsbaugh, commanding the Albay
"a little gunboat), hoisted the flag on
Sibutu island and the chief dato pro-
vided and raised the pole. Natives
and North Borneo authorities pleased.
WATSON"
The island lies at the southwestern
angle of the boundary line of the quad
rangle enclosing the Philippine group.
It is probably outside of the line, and
Hessvery near the coast of Borneo, COM
manding the principal channel, but is
not one of the islands of the Philip
pines. The sultan of Jolo, whose
group is close to this island, is believed
to claim jurisdiction over it, and as his
authority is recognized by the native
tribes on the north coast of Borneo and
vicinity, 1t is believed his claim is
well founded. 1t was probably at his
instance that the naval officer COM
manding the gunboat moved.

and he landed his left with provoking
regularity on Jeffries face, much to the
latter's detriment. This was certainly
Corbett's round, and the best round
thus far.
Round 10-Corbett led with left to the
head and ducked the return. Again he
hooked to the head and countered JEFF
fries left to body. Quick as lightning
Corbett kept forcing, and with another
left to the nose made the boilermakers s
nasal organ bleed profusely. Jeff was
very wild, swinging at random, while
Corbett kept landing left hand jabs on
neck and face. Jeff made several rushes,
but to no purpose, anu COrbett's stock
went booming. Corbett was loudly
cheered at the end of the round.
Round 11-Corbett opened with left to
the body and Jeff rushed him to the cor
ner, but failed to land effectively. He
COrbett lodged it and sent right and
left to the body. Corbett sent two left
jabs to Jeff's mouth, bringing the blood
from the champions lips Jeffries seem
ed to be ratified at this stage and Cor
bett found no difficulty in getting left
to face. Jeffries tried several swings,
but COrbett got under them, and hooked
his right hard over the body twice. Jeff
jabbed Corbett in the face under the
jaw. Corbett did not seem faxed by
this blow and walked to his corner
smiling.
Round 12-Even money is now the bet
ting. Jeff started out with a left hook
to head, but Corbett ducked it and a
ciinch followed. They clinched three
times without a blow. Jeff got right to

SUDHOFF LEADS.
The Little St Louis Pitcher Has the
Record So Far.

st. Louis, May 12-If there is any vir-
tue in baseball figures the pitchers of
the st. Louis team are first class. Ac-
cording to the averages compiled by
Mr.. w. NJ. Frazier of Philadelphia,
very capable compiler, Sudhoff has
pitched the best ball of any man in the
league. In the first six pitchers, st.
Louis has three-Sudhoff. Young and
Jones.
To be sure, every one expected that
Young would be at the top, but the abil-
ity of Sudhoff and Jones has been ser
iously questioned. Superficial spectators
failed to see that, even in defeat, both
these men were pitching excellently-
ST. Louis crowds have been berating
Burkett for not hitting, yet he is lead
ing both his compeers-Heidrick and
Donovan-as well as Kister, another
great hitter, with the bat.
The season is young yet. The st.
Louis pitching force may be bogus, but
so far the loss of games has not been
attributable to the pitchers, nor to the
fielding, for St. Louis leads in club
fielding, with $50. Poor work with the
bat and on the bags has put the games
in the lost column" for the St. Louis
club. The pitching alone does not win
games, as shown by the case of Philadel-
phia, which team has three pitchers IN
the last seven, yet leads all others in
the championship race.

Corbett money.
At 1921 Jeffries worked his way
through the crowd and climbed into the
ring. amid wild cheering. Corbett fol-
lowed two minutes later and was
warmly received.
At 1925 Jeffries crossed the ring and
shook hands with his rival
The gloves were dropped in the CEN
ter of the ring and Corbett had a young
chap about II years old named Frank
Dwyer as a mascot.
At 1871 Referee Charley White was
seen making his way towards the ring.
Corbett was smiling and bowling to
friends around the ringside. while JEFF
fries looked stolid and Indifferent. Both
men eyed each other closely. DR..
Creamer was in Corbett's corner.
At 1882 Charley White climbed into
and examined the bandages carefully.
Brady had objected to the wrappings.
White and Corbett crossed the ring and
the bandageS were shown to Jeffries
Corbett protested and claimed the
bandages were strictly according to the
conditions of the match, but he was
ordered to remove one layer of bandage
and Jeffries stripped.
At 1875 Jefries looked in magnificent
condition. The gloves were donned and
the terms of contest stated to be
straight Queensberry rules, the referee
to break the men when they lock.
At 1926 Corbett stripped. He seemed
in good condition, much better than
when he met Sharkey.
The men shook hands at 10:37 and
the fight was on.

Among the first Of the notables to

taken of him.

Joe Humphreys, the master of cere-
monies, announced that Jeffries weighed
200 pounds and COrbett 1872.
Betting continued very tame, a few
small wagers at to 1 on Jeffries being
laid, but when Al Smith cut in with

got light left on the wind. Again they
went to a clinch and in the break jeff
threw his left over to the ribs. Corbett
played for the body, but jeff called him
and blocked neatly. Jeff tried left lead
to the head, which Corbett ducked beau
tifully. but jeff was hard after him and
sent right and left smashes to the body
which almost sent Corbett off his feet.
JEFF got wild, swinging both hands to
the body, and Corbett sprinted to avoid
the punishment. Jeff landed left and
right to the body and Corbett, after
jumping back. ran into a straight left
on the face. The round was altogether
in Jeff's favor and Corbett seemed to be
weakening at the close.
Round S.-Corbett rushed in with a
left to body, which was blocked, and
JEFF forced him to the ropes with right
smash to chest. Corbett hooked left to
head and jeff countered to stomach.
Corbett hooked left to head and got
away clean. Jeff made a bull rush,
sending his left to wind without a re-
turn. Jeff kept on forcing, but was very
wild in his delivery, as he missed three
left hooks for the head Corbett lodged
all three in the smartest manner. Jeff
kept on forcing the pace and landed left
on neck, Corbett countering with right
hook to the head Corbett stepped in
and got in a corking good right to the
ribs and ducked's Jeff's counter. The
bell found them sparring.
Round 9-Both led lefts to head and
clinched. Then Corbett hooked left to
the head and swung right to jaw, stag
gerfng Jeffries. COrbett followed up
with another right swing to the jaw, but
it was not so hard as the previous one.
COrbett came in with a left to body, and
in the breakaWay swung terrific right
to the jaw, which made Jeffries look
groggy. COrbett, seeing his advantage,
put his left and right quickly to the
head and hooked another hard left to
the jaw. JeffrieS sent back hard left
swing to the head. Corbett was the
cleverer in exchanges which followed,
