BLUE AND GOLD RACKET
WIELDERS TRIUMPH AGAIN
stanford Tennis Players Are Clearly
Outclassed by the Cracks From
University of California.

STAMFORD UNIVERSITY. April
16.-The University of California
again won the intercollegiate tennis
tournament to-day, the matches being
played on the Stanford courts. The
blue and gold players clearly out
classed the cardinal racket wielders.
Drummond MacGayin and Neil Baker
won the singles contests from George
Hodge and Cleve Baker respectively,
while the doubles match was called,
with the score SO in the first set,
on account of heavy downpour of
rain. that rendered the courts too
slippery TO be played upon. Mac
Gavin and Variel represented Califor-
MIA in the doubles, while Hodge and
Cleve Baker composed the Stanford
team. The doubles gave promise OF
being a very close and exciting con-
test.
MacGavin and Hodge were pitted
against each other in the first of the
singles matches. The former expert
enced little difficulty in defeating the
cardinal representative in two straight
sets by the score of 6-3, 6-2. Mac
Gavin's smashing was too much for
Hodge, although the latter appeared
TO have a little the better OF it at lob
bing.
Neil Baker of Berkeley won from
CIeve Baker of Stanford in two
straight sets, the score being 1911,
Ga. The outcome Of this match was a
great surprise to the majority of the
spectators. as Cleve Baker appeared
capable of playing the better game.
His work was very erratlc, however,
and he was unable 10 follow up the
advantages that he frequently had. He
also showed poor judgment In placing
his returns.

KING MENELIK'S GIFTS
TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Lion and Hyena Arrive in New York
En- Route to the White
House Zoo,

Another addition to the Presidents
nenagerie arrived the other day on the
T Iowther Castle. The latest animals
TO be added to the White House zoo
are a Young lion from the Lion OF
Abyssinia," with a jaclxal as an at
tendant. King Menelik also sent two
magnificent elephant tusks as a token
of friendship. The animals were taken
on board at Port Said. THESE gifts are
really from Menelik to the President,
and are not being announced as such
by a press agent of the st. Louis ex-
position.
The lion and hyena were taken off
the Lowther Castle and brought to
Jersey City, where they were at once
sent on to Washington. The hyena is
not the ferocious beast he has oeen
reported to be, and the lion cub is as
playful and awkward as setter pup.
At the present time he is all legs and
has great difficulty in placing them
where he wants to. A side view or
him closely resembles an antique
clotheshorse that Is somewhat wobbly
in the joints. During the voyage the
hyena and lion were allowed loose on
the decks, and spent most of their
time playing with the captains dog.
On board the Lowther Castle were
fifty-one other animals consigned to
the Lincoln Park Geological Gardens,

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
FINE YEAR FOR WOOL.

Grade ls Higher and the Texture Finer
Than uAual.
Pendleton-Sheep shearing is about
half over, taking Umat1lla county as a
whole, and the results of shearing SO
far have justified early expectations of
what the clip would be. The grade is
higher, the texture finer. What is
lost in weight because the clip is
cleaner this spring is nearly compen-
sated by the greater length of strands
and will probably be more than COM
pensated by the improved price it will
obtain over dirty wool.
With one exception, only few small
clips, trifing in comparison with the en-
tire output, have been sold. Most of
them belonged to smaller sheepmen in
the sand district, who needed the
money or were scared into letting go by
pessimistic talk of buyers. By these

''The outlook for good prices keeps
up to the mark, and can see nothing
in the situation in the United States,
or in the world, for that matter, which
would justify prediction of market

tary of the Oregon Woolgrowers' as
sociation. "In fact, believe sales
days will see prices shade better
than were received last year. Grow
ers should hold their clip until the
sales, and I think none of them will be
sorry for it."

BRAZIL Is HOSTILE.
Peruvian Legation Complains Of Attitude
of Her Neighbor.

Washington, May 11.-In view of the
statement made by the Brazilian lega-
tion defining Brazil's position in the
boundary dispute with Peru, the Peru
Wan legation today made counter
statement to the following effect:
''Peru has never admitted in Brazil
any right whatsoever to the territory
actually in dispute. The treaty of 1851
contains no recognition in Brazil rights
as alleged by the Brazilian legation.
The treaty is one of amity and COM
merce and made no reference as to the
territory now in dispute.
According to late reports it would
seem that the government of Brazil, in
stead of framing It's policy in accord
ance with the provisions of it's consti-
tuition, which provides tor tho settle
ment of international disputes by arbi-
tration, assumed hostile attitude and
has taken steps by no means conductive
to tho peace solution it has pledged it
self to seek.
''The Brazilian legations statement
that Peru took Advantage of Brazil's
trouble with Bolivia to send military
forces to the headwaters of the rivers
Yuroa and Peru is unwarranted, and as
a Peruvian population always has ex-
listed there as we'll as small galrisons to
preserve order. Peru today is desirous
of resorting to arbitration, without de-
manding previous conditions, unneces-
sary to governments really wishing to
reach prompt, just and pacific settle
ment of their differences, This she can
offer as the best proof of her good faith
and fraternal sentiments towards her
sister republic"

TO STUDY Alaska COAL.
Geological Survey TO Search for New De-
posits In Far North.

ueOl0g1cal survey 10 SeaTGn Tor NeW OS'
posits In Far North.
Washington, May 1.-THE first field
party of the United States geological
survey to leave Washington this year
ia, as usual, the Alaskan contingent.
During the past winter congress in
creased its appropriation for Alaskan
work from $50, 900 to $50, 900, which is
about per cent of the annual output
of that territory. Nine parties will be
engaged there during the coming season
in topographic and geologic work. Be-
sides these, three subparties, which
may be counted as ot1shoots of the larg-
er ones, will take up special work, so
that the number of survey investiga-
tions on foot in Alaska during the sum-
mer will be 12, as against 7 of last
year.
The geologic work of the last season
in Southeastern Alaska will be contin-
ued by Messrs. G. W. and F. w.
Wright. AS this is the only note
worthy lode mining district Of Alaska,
and as its rich deposits of gold, silver
and copper are only PARTIALLY devel-
oped, study of its resources is likely
to be of vital interest to the prospector
and investor. The work will begin
with a reconnaissance across the islands
from Taku Inlet to Sitka. An exami-
ration of the mining district about Sit
ka will follow, together with study
of the coal deposits of Admiralty
Island, with Wrangell as base. F.
W. Wright will then study the local,
geology and mineral deposits, while G.
W. Wright connects the geology of the
Juneau district, the work of DR.. A. G.
Spencer in 1908, with that of the
Ketchikan district, the work of Alfred
H. Brooks in 1901. If the time per-
mits, some of the copper and gold
mines of Prince of Wales Island will be
visited.

GREAT GLOOM IN RUSSIA.

Probable Movement Of the Enemy a
Source of Anxiety.
St. Petersburg, May 1O.-Two offic-
ial dispatches, calculated to increase
the depression existing among all cir
cles in Russia were given out last night.
From the point of view of the progress
of the campaign, the most important is
that regarding the capture by the Jap
anese without opposition of Feng Wang
Cheng, on May 6. The second gives
details concerning the killed, wounded
and missing among the troops under
the command of Lieutenant General
Zassalitch, as the result of the fighting
on the Yalu. the number of which
totals 1897 officers and men.
Now that General Kuroki is estab-
lished at Feng Wang Cheng, the Rus
slams ure puzzled as to what move he
will make next. The fact that he sent
two companies to Daliandiapu Tso, ten
miles northeast of Feng Wang Cheng,
might indicate his purpose to proceed
along this road to Ting Chang Glen, 80
miles north from where he would
march due west to Liao Yang. This
would permit an effective fanking
movement, but it is not considered
probable, the likelihood being that he
will move along the road by which the
Russians retreated toward Lao Yang.

G. ]. Mills Views the Range In Eastern
Oregon Counties.
La Grande-C. j. Mills, livestock
agent for the o. R. & N, has returned
from an extended tour to the interior of
Oregon, where he covered vast csope
of country, including Grant, Harvey
and Crook counties, and was compelled
to make the trip incomplete on account
of bad roads, as they are impossible in
many places on account of spring wash
outs and many bridges are swept away.
Mr.. Mills reports that stock pros
poets are very good all through Eastern
Oregon and he thinks there will be the
best range this year for many years
past. The spring rains and freshets
have done the work for the range, even
though they have swept away bridges
and ruined many roads, and he also
thinks that the hay crop will be ahead
Ct any for many years.
But the prices of stock are, not the
best now, though a change is being
looked for soon. There is an overplus
throughout the country, too many stock
everywhere. Oregon has good range
and this is established for the present
year, and the stockmen will be able to
hold the stock for better prices.
As soon as the roads will permit, Mr..
Mills will complete the trip through
the interior.

STANLEY is DEAD
NOTED EXPLORER PASSES AWAY
SUDDENLY OF PLEURISY.
Was Q Welsh Boy Who Rose From Poor
Farm to Palace-Won Fame In Wilds
Of Africa-Rescued DR.. Livingstone
and Relieved Emin Pasha When He
Was Penned In by Hostile Natives.

London, May 11.-Sil Henry M.
Stanley, the famous African explorer,
died at 8 O'Clock this morning from an
attack of pleurisy, which developed
about two weeks ago. Since Sunday
he has been in a semi-conscious condi-
tion, and while the doctors had no hope
of his recovery, they did not expect the
end to come so soon. Heart trouble
complicated the case, however, and
their famous patient dropped off almost
before they knew it.
Probably no man in recent years has
been more worthy of the title stself
made man" than Stanley, who rose
from poorhouse to palace entirely
through his strength Of character and
determination to be man of mark.
He was born at Denbigh, Wales. He
was placed in poorhouse at the age of
8, and remained there 10 years, until
he had acquired an education. He
sailed as cabin boy on a ship to New
Orleans when 15, and was adopted by
merchant there whose family name of
Stanley he assumed instead of his own
of John Rowlands. He enlisted in the
Confederate army as youth, was capt.
tured and enlisted in the Federal army.
He went to Turkey at the close of the
war as newspaper correspondent, and
later accompanied the British army
through the Abyssinian war as the cor
respondent of the New York Herald.
He was sent by that paper to Africa to
find DR.. Livingstone, who had been lost
in the Congo region for two years. He
accomplished the task and was honored
by England and the Royal Geographical
society for his clever work.
He went back second time, and Sc
cured information about Central Africa
which was badly needed by charto-
graphers. Coming back to civilization
he was decorated by numerous French
and British science societies. He went
back third time and established trad-
ing stations along the Congo from its
mouth to Stanley Pool. He led the ex-
pedition which relieved Emin Pasha,
governor of Equatorial Africa, who was
penned in by hostiles.
Mr.. Stanley married Miss Dorothy
Tenant on July IL, 1890, in West
minister Abbey. He was elected to
parliament from the Lambeth district,
and until taken with his last illness
had been active in the English political
field.
