The Copper people are after the
Bayfield, county homesteaders and
their present game is to get every
piece of land that is of any use to
their prospecting enterprises. Land,
that is what they want, and when
they get the land all cornered then
they will be ready to go after the
ore If the ore business precedes
the land business, prices will be too
high, SO the spectators will bide
their time, and get al the Iaao pos
sible at the very lowest prices.
That S consistent with the business,
all right, but rather tough on the
poor homesteader, who will sell his
land fer a song, and then perhaps
show up in few years and see cop
per by the thousands of dollars mined
from it.

Madison, March Oath, 1901.-The
Assembly passed the Stevens Prim-
arv Election Bill as amended at l1:55
O'Clock Friday morning.
The lower chamb was crowded
to it's utmost, and long before the
appointed hour, every chair in the
lobby was occupied, and every seat In
the gallery taken. Students in the
University cut classes in order to be
present on the occasion; the federal
office holders of the state were there
in force; leading business men and
lawyers from all portions OF the
state had errands at the capital
Friday; the state officers were pres,
ent in a body; newspaper CORES
pondents from every leading news
paper in the west occupied the re-
porters tables; the Senate had adj
iourned shortly after roll call to be
present during the proceedings, and
when Speaker Ray announced the
special order. the Assembly pre-
sented a spectacle, such as has not
been seen at any time during the
past sessions of the legislature have
bad occasion to attend.
A few of the events leading up to
the passage of the bill in the lower
house, may not be out of place at
this time AS stated last week the
measure was repot ted to the Assem-
bly, Monday evening of that week
The committee did not report the
original Stevens Bill, but an amend
ment in the form of a substitute
was presented, and it was placed
on the calendar for further action
Tuesday morning. When the order
was reached at the morning session,
Mr.. Stevens moved to defer action
upon it until eight O'Clock in the
evening.
The opposition, with Mr.. Ortor
as it's spokesman, desired more time
and an amendment was offered max
! ing the time Thursday instead o.
Tuesday evening. Mr.. Orion con
tended that it was an important
measure, and that ample time should
be given the men bers to study the
substitute. Mr.. Hall held that the
pest way to become familiar with
the measure was to discuss it upon
the floor of the house, and at the
earliest possible time. The Orion
amendment was lost and the friends
of the bill had won their first vic
tory upon the floor of the house.
The measure was made a special
| order for eight o'clock Tuesday
evening. When the hour had arrived,
Chief Clerk NOVEL;, read the sub
stitute offered by the committee,
the ayes and nays were called, and
the report was adopted by vote OF
So to 80 without debate. Mr..
Stevens had won his second great
victory in the Assembly. The next
question was: should the bill as
amended be ordered to engrossment
and third reading: For a moment
everythingswas quiet; when Assem-
blyman Williaius of Neenah, one OF
the leading republican opponents of
the Ibill in the house, arose and
moved a call of tie house. A sui
fcient number of the members
favored such proceedings, the speak
er ordered the house locked and the
Sergeant-at- Arms started on his
search for delinquent members.

Thereupon Mr.. O,Brien, with
the utmost sang froid, named a
long list of unheard-of people.
The chief and others present had
to laugh.
"Now, look here said Mr..
Alexander, "Iv'e assessed this
county for the past eight years,
and know every man, woman
and child in that section, and it
is useless for you to attempt to
fool me in this n1anner.''
After some de1iberatien it was
determined to let the fellow go
with the understanding that he
should not peddle any more meat
in town. Just before driving out
of town he beckoned to Chief AL
exander, and as the latter ap-
preached, Mr.. O'Brien laughed
and said: "The Lord loves a
cheerful 1iar;'' whereupon he
whacked his horses and departed.
It was ascertained that the
hams were shipped here from
Portland, and they wefe what is
known as picnic hams. O..
Brien was retailing them at II
cents per pound.

During the middle Of last week,

way home to dinner, passed a
fellow peddling harms (apicnic'D,

A San Francisco dispatch con
veys intelligence Of the death, BY
suicide. in that city Of John c.
Leisure. last Friday. In a nete
to the coroner, he stated that de-
spondeney because of business
reverses and inability to secure
employment was the cause of his
rash act. Mr.. Leasure was for
many years a prominent Port
land attorney ana few men were
better known in this state.
Much of his beyhood was spent
in the vicinity Of Corvallis. He
graduated from Phi1omath col
lege in June, 1877, class-mate
of Prof. J. B. Horner. In a
short, sketch of his life, written
last March, be said: 81 might
add that ]. B. Horner and my
self 'batched' together the last
year. After graduation, ]. B.
Horner and myself conducted, as
owners and proprietors. for one
year, a college newspaper called
the Philomath Crucib1e. =
john G. Leasure was born near
Woedburn, Or, June 9, 1854.
At their farm home his neither
died in February, 1859. His
fathef was for several years gov
ernment blacksmith at Siletz res
ervation. Ia 1869, the family
moved to Eugene where the
father died in Deeember, 1873.
In the sketch Of his life Mr..
Leasure says: son the death of
my father l was thrown on the
world without dollar, and walk
ed frefn Eugene City to Buena
Vista, and began manual labor
on a farm for L. M. Hall. Ac-
cumulating a little money, sufi-
cient to buy school books, 1
worked for my board at Mr..
Halls and entered the public
school at Buena Vista, A., A.
Bonney teacher, and finished a
three months term, when I went
TO Benton county and entered
the employ of my brether-in-
law, T. G. Rawlings, who own
ed a tannery about two miles
from Philomath college. Here I
labored one season and became
quite a proficient tanner. By
this time I began to see the I'M
portance of an education, and
entered Philenath college, being
compelled to walk two miles and
act as janitor fer NV tuition and
do chores for ray brother-in-law
for my board. During summer
vacation I worked ID the harvest
field. After my first year in col
lege I taught country schools and
procured The necessary where
withal to procure my college
course. y
Mr.. Leasure was admitted to
the bar in 1880, and located in
Pendleton where he took up the
practice of his profession. In

Blakley, and the fruit of this
union was four children. He
was in his prime in 1892 when
he was before the republican cor
vention as the native born Ore
gonian candidate for congress.
His hopes were blighted, how.
ever, w. R. Ellis being the NOM
inee. He kept in touch with
politics after this defeat but he
was never seriously considered
as a candidate for office. In 1895
he took up the practice Of law

SEXTON TO CONSIDER THE CASE.
VIII Hear Both Captains and Umpire he
fore Consulting Rules.

fore Consulting Rules.
President Sexton, of the Three Il
league. to whom the protest of the
game will be referred. said this morn
ing that he would hear both captains
and the umpire as to the ground rules
agreed upon before deciding the case
on its merits under the general rules
of the game.
from any standpoint that it may be
viewed Mesmer's final decision was
both inconsistent AM reprehensible
This was all the more apparent to the
spectators, owing to the fact that he
had the right impression first and
then changed it. Strange to say,
throughout the game he showed a
wabbling spirit quite contrary to the
decisive manner that he has always
evinced heretofore. On the ruling in
question his first inclination was
plainly to let Rock Island have the
runs the team was entitled to. and it
was not until Shannon made the
kick and called Smith in from the
field to bulldoze the umpire that he
showed any purpose TO change his de-
cision. But when Smith rushed in and
the crowd from the bleachers taking
this as a signal swsrmed down on the
diamond Mesmer simply lost his head
entirely and went up in the air. He
was overawed by the attitude of Smith
and the crowd Under no construction
of the playing or ground rules could be
have justified himself. Indeed he did
what no self-respecting umpire would
have done had he thought twice
sought to compromise the situa-
ton by giving each side a sop and
robbing Rock Island of its rights
Davenport's contention to which Mes
mer gave his ear was so silly that it
would be laughed at by bali players
OF any experience or knowledge of the
game. IL Umpire Messmer ever
played ball himself he should know.
and must know, that ground rules
limiting the number of bases on an
overthrow to the catcher could
never have been in vogue under
any circumstances except in prairie
ball. The 90-foot backstop provided
by the rules, which in this case is the
grandstand, obvistes the necessity OF
applying any such rules as be allowed
to be applied. The ruling was not
only lame, but a fagrant breach OF
every baseball law. Mullaaey was
right in vigorously standing up for
his rights even TO the point of threat
ening to withdraw from the grounds.
He was perfectly correct in his decla-
ration that from the beginning of the
season Rock Island has been robbed
right and left by fierce and incompe-
tent umpiring. but he undoubtedly
pursued the correct course in the end
