City Railway objects to Ball Park on
Vinewood Line.

The Topeka Street Railway company.
upon its own initiative, conferred with
the baseball association Monday night for
the purpose OF preventing the building Of
the new park along the Vinewood route.
Failing IN this, the street car company
dropped pretty broad hint that it might
ind another location and erect the park
for share OF the proceeds. the rail-
way company asked the baseball asSOcia-
ton to defer letting any contract for the
pulIdlng OF PARK until the arrival OF
President L. l. Myers from Chicago on

on the first day of next week.

wood line. especially so in view of the
fact that Sunday games may be played.
That would interiors with the Vinewood
park business without a doubt. although
Mr.. Kelley said to the reporters:
Please get that idea out of your

When asked why they wanted a con-

crowds If the park IS put on that line,
but we would rather have it elsewhere,
so that the traffic would be divided
The railway company viii do something
in regard to the matter. That is not TO
be doubted. Last night the company
stated that it might build park on
LOWman Hill if IS cents admission were
charged, of which ten cents would be
given to the railway people every day.
But the league fixes the price of entrance
at 25 cents and from that there can be no
deviation.
But it is up to the railway people to
act at once. The baseball association is
pretty nearly ready to do business. Al
most $500 in cash is now ready 1t is
practically settled that when S1s200 is sub
scribed that one of the lumber companies
will take that and lien on the park for

Friday he will be confronted by 'readi-

baseball association, and the only way he
can prevent the. park from going south

ground and set his carpenters to work on
next Monday to fit up a field and give II

Los Angeles, Cal, June 2S.-According

that has since been the talk in
various circles. Nobody knew
them. or whence they came. At
several places they engaged per-
sons in conversation about the
coming football game between OAC
and the giant Utah eleven, to be
played in Corvallis next Wednes-
day. On each occasion they offer
ed to wager money that the Utah
men would win. Reports Of their
operations gained currency, and a
live sensation developed. Investi-
cation showed that they had $3.50
which they were willing to bet on
the outcome of the big game. They
left on the early train yesterday
morning, and their destination is
said to be Seattle, where the. Utah
eleven plays Washington next
Saturday. They did not place any
money on the game in Corvallis
What makes the matter more
interesting is, that both men have
been in Corvallis Tor a week.
They are said to have gone from
here to Seattle to see the Oregon
Washington game last Saturday
returning here Monday. Rumor
has it, that they are old football
men, and that they have been in
Corvallis to get line on the play
of the OAC team, and incidentally
to lay money on the outcome of
the game. Their doings have set
things buzzing in football circles in
this town.

A Place of Interest.

1t is interesting these days to note
the activity that is on among the
business houses of Corvallis. Ev-
cry one is on the jump, and clerks
are busy from dawn to dark.
Among the places where there is
no time for rest among the en-
ployes is the o. J. Blackledge
furniture store on south Main
street. Thursday, a large ship
mont of fine bamboo goods arrived
and has been placed on display.
Along with this comes new line
of Morris chairs, fine rockers, good
mattings, complete line of pastel
and other first grade pictures, such
as has never been seen in Corvallis
before, and many other new goods
To any one who has not paid a
late visit to this house, and priced
the handsome stock that is ever
there, it would be wise to say, GO
and see Blackledge. The visit will
pay you and you will find what
you want.

WHAT is WAR?

Forty thousand Russian dead and
wounded is the result of the latest
battle in the far Eastern war.
"Every inch of the battle ground
wet with blood,'' "bodies of foe
men lying side by side with bay
onets in their breasts or bloody,
bent and twisted bayonets scatter
ed around, mute evidences of the
terrible slaughter appalling
death stalking on every hillside,
in every valley, through every
field, this is war. History roll
ed back, the barbaric past shamed,
and the human mind staggered by
these accounts of human sacrifice,
this is war. Regiments broken
and shattered, battalions shot down
to the last man, whole companies
swept in a twinkling from life into
th,-this is war. Blood, slaugh-
ter, ferocity, fanaticism, booming
cannon, rain, thunder, lightning,
bursting shells and shrieking sharp
mel, all in twisted, wicked, and
indescribable mass,-this is war.
Forty thousand human beings shot
down in single field, on a single
side, in a single battle,-this is
war.
And what is it all for? Why do
not the nations, the nations that
say they are civilized, why do they
not stop it? Why do they not all
burn their warships, beat down
their fortifcations, turn their weap-
ons into ploughshares and pruning
hooks, and go to war no more?

SCHOOLS CLOSED THERE.
On Account of Diphtheria-Teacher at
Monroe Ill With the Disease.


The Monroe school has been
closed on account Of Diptheria.
The quarantine was established
yesterday morning by DR.. Bennett,
county health officer at Bellfountain.
There is but one case, and that is
Mrs. Emil Howard. The attack is
however. in mild form and it is
expected that she will have recover.
ed in ten days. Mrs. Howard is
principal of the school, and there
are two other teachers. She taught
her school as usual throughout,
Monday, though suffering with
what she believed to be an attack
of sore throat. In the evening she
consulted DR.. Bennett, who at once
pronounced the case diphtheria.
She was placed under treatment,
and yesterday morning the school
was ordered closed. The pupils
are to remain at home for period
of ten days, during which any other
case of infection will have time to
develop.
DR.. Bennett said yesterday morn
ing that the source of the infection
could not be determined. For a
season or opast it has been usual
for the disease to appear in mild
form in the southern part Of the
country after the FIRST rain. It is
not believed that there will be any
general spread of the malady as a
result of the recent exposures in
the school. and it is the opinion Of
DR. Bennett that there isno occasion
for alarm. z

NEW RATES.
For Morning and Evening Train to
Albany = Trip to Portland for
Two Sixty,


A rate Of s.. 90 between Corval-
lis and Portland is. announced over
the morning and evening train via
Albany. Hitherto the rate has
been Fifty cents to Albany and $2.45
from there to Portland, making a
total Of 81 o5 for the trip. An ad-
ditional inconvenience in the ar
rangement was that through
ticket could not be purchased at
Corvallis, and the passenger was
compelled to get a Portland ticket
at the Albany depot. Under the
new arrangement, through tickets
to Portland will be sold at the local
c & E. Office at the same rate in
vogue over the .Westside, which is
S. 60. The change is the result of
a visit to Corvalli. Saturday by w.
E. Conan, General Passenger Agent
of the Southern Pacific. III is un-
derstood that the reduction is in the
main a concession in rates by the
Southern Pacific in order to give
the new morning and evening train
service an opportunity to become
permanent, and thereby afford Cor
wallis the best possible railroad
facilities.
Traffic on the new train exceeds
expectation. After the former ex.
pertinent and its consequent failure,
the new service was undertaken by
the c & f managers with misgiv-
ings. The former train lost money,
and it was expected that the new
one would do the same. Business
began, however with the first trip
of the train, and it has gradually
increased until the volume Of pas
senger traffic is now nearly enough
to pay expenses. It is expected
that the new concession in rates
will give much impetus. and that
the train will turn out to be a fix
ture.
Through tickets, as provided for
in the new arrangement, have not
yet been placed on sale. but it is
expected that they will be in a few
days.
