BASEBALL GAME.
Grants Pass Defeats Ashland
With Score OF 5 too,

In the base bali game at Ashland
Sunday, the Grants Pass team won
decided victory in tho best game of
the season, over the team of that
town, which has been hitherto unde-
feated by any of the valley teams.
One Of the fruits Of the victory is the
undisputed championship of Southern
Oregon. The score was to in favor
of Grants Pass and all the tallies
were made in the first two innings,
neither side scoring after the second
In the first inning the Grants Pass
boys made three tallies and Ashland
got two men around the diamond. In
the second inning Grants Pass scored
twice. The Grants Pass battery.
Welch and Smith, did brilliant work,
Welch striking out II men. Sparlin
gained glory for himself by his opera

time he handled the stick. The line

THE SILVER CREEK BASIN
Work Soon to BE Resumed on
Bis Tunnel Enterprise.

+. G.. Leigh was in town few
days last week from Silver creek
where he is connected with the big
placer enterprise for opening the Sill
yer creek basin. The project is to
run tunnel from point below the
falls to tap the creek basin above a
huge rock slide that has filled up the
former channel for many feet in
depth. The basin is several miles in
length and the gravel is Of unknown
depth. Work on the tunnel has been
suspended over year but it is likely
that it will soon be resumed and
pushed to completion. The successful
completion of this tunnel would in
sure one of the biggest placer op.
erations in Southern Oregon.

After the fourth inning, Budd was
retired by the umpire. M. Smith took
the shortstop's position, Mckenzie
went to second and Murphy was placed
IN the field.
Rather sensational incident oc-
Cured in the fourth inning when
Shortstop Budd who took exception
to a close decision by the umpire
Ashland's favor, was engaged by that
official in battle. Budd was removed
from the game and Murphy was sub
stituted. One of the Ashland papers,
with characteristic unfairness, utiliz-
es the incident to cast asperslons ON
the Grants Pass team, insinuating
that the billigerent shorstop was
brought along for lighting purposes.
The records Of the previous games
will show that Budd has been playing
shortstop for the Grants Pass nine all
the season and is one of the strongest
players in the team.

USE FILTERS ON FAUCETS
W. II. Hampton Shows lmport-
nnce OF Purifying Water.

Results of the microscopical exami-
nation of the water supply Of Grants
Pass as drawn from the service cocks.
The samples are marked flushings,
tap water and filtered water.
The fushings are the concentrations
and accumulations around the tube Of
a Pasteur- -Camberland germ proof
filter. The tap water is the water as
drawn from the mains under ordinary
conditions of use. The filtered water
is the Water which has passed through
the filter tubes and has had all foreign
material, such as bacteria, suspended
matter as mud. ETC., strained out.

Dear Sir: Following ARE the re-
suits of the meteorological examina-
tions of the samples Of water sub

Dear sir; The following are the
results of the meteorological exam
ination Of the samples Of water handed
me this day:
Sample No. l Flashing-snd clean
ings of filter-Contained large
amounts of organic matter, iron
oxide, silicious matter, algae and
bacteria. The bateria found in large
numbers and consisted Of bacilli.
diplococci and stapllylococci.
Sample No. 2. Tap water contained
the same in smaller quantities.
Sample No. 3. Filtered water
Found to be absolutely free Of sus-
pended organic matter and bacteria.
Analysed July 20, 1908.
Il. d. Stricken, M. ID.
The knowledge that the water
supply Of Grants Pass is contaminated
with the sewage Of Ashland and Med
ford, as we'll as any and all refuse
matter which will naturally find its
way into river, and also the certain
contamination of the water from .
drainage of part Of the town itself,
induced me TO install filter as q
safeguard TO health--one which will
eliminate all the bacteria. Water
that is boiled is unhealthy unless
II is aerated. With the above germs
present, others more dangerous are
likely to show up any time. Ex-
tended and repeated examinations Of
the above samples might disclose u
few Of the most dangerous type.

Summer Hygiene.

Summer is the season of good health
and recuperation for those who prop
erly regulate their mode of living.
For those who do not IL is n season of
discomfort.
Pure, healthful, light food that
will not stimulate heat production
while it properly nourishes and
strengthens the body and brain is the
great essential.
II is conceded that the best of all
foods for summer diet are the quickly
made hour-f foods-hot biscuit, rolls,
puddings, cakes, mullins, etc, such
as are made with baking powder. A
most excellent household bread Is also
made with baking powder instead Of
yeast. These, properly made, are
light, sweet, fine Favored, easily di-
gested, nutritious and wholesome.
Yeast bread should be avoided wher-
ever possible in summer, as the yeast
germ is almost certain in hot weather
to ferment la the stomach and cause
trouble. The Royal Baking Powder
foods are unfermented, and may be
eaten in their most delicious state,
viz, fresh and hot without fear Of
unpleasant results.
Alum baking powders should be
avoided at all times. They make the
foods less digestible. When the sys-
TEN is relaxed by summer heat their
danger is heightened
The flour foods made with Royal
Baking Powder are the acme Of per
fection for summer diet. No decom-
position takes place in their dough,
the nutritive qualities Of the flour
are preserved aud digestion is aided,
which is not the case with sour-yeast
bread or cakes.

Seldom has a small affair created a
greater sensation than has the dog
shooting case which occurred last Fri
day. The principals in the case were
~. T. Stovall, sewing machine
agent, and little shepherd dog, the
property of r. L. Barrickman of Mer-
lin. The fracas started, according
to the statements of by ISLANDERS, in
Stovall's going closer to Barrickman' s
wagon than the dog thought proper.
The dog growled and Stovall kicked
at her. She retaliated by seizing the
bottom of his trousers leg in her
teeth. inficting wound in the ex.

of a silver dollar. This infuriated

the dog, seeing Stovall with a big
rock poised in his grasp, apparently
about to blot the small canine of the

to desist. Stovall dropped the rock.

witnessed the performance said to
Stovall, "You ought to be arrested. 4"
Stovall ridiculed the idea, saying
that he had money enough to buy up
half the town. The citizen went in
search of the marshal and meanwhile
n warrant for Stovall's arrest was
placed in the hands of the constable.
Stovall returned the gun to the
store, triumphantly remarking that
he had fixed him. " By the time
the officers reached the scene, Stovall

bonds of $3.50 to appear before the
circuit court on Saturday. The bonds
were furnished by N. Il. McGrew and
Dennis H. Stovall, who claims no
relationship to the defendant in the
case Stovall was brought before the
court Saturday afternoon and entered
a plea of guilty, making glib ad-
dress to the court for lenient SEN

which the law imposes and Stovall
discovered that they were of far
greater severity than he had antici-
pated He was given the opportunity
to change his plea, but decided at the
time to let it stand and was in
structed to appear before the court at
the evening session for sentence. AT
that time he had decided that he
