Baseball Gossip.

The baseball games of the second
series between Salem and Vancouver,
which will be played in this city, com
mencing Thursday, promise to be the
best minor league exhibitions ever
witnessed in the state. Each team
is adding new material, and every
man is confident that he is on the
winning side.
Manager Prebel is on the lookout
for several rapid men, and, as he has
a long sack. and a determination to
head the list, it would not be surpris-
ing to see an aggregation from the
foreign city that will be hard to
handle before many moons roll over
AS it is, they are bad enough, and
with the advent of warm weather, the
fans may expect to see the boys get
busy.
The local people must not forget,
however, that Manager Fay has not
been asleep and he has a good, lively
array of travellers, who know the
game from every point wilkins has
been under the weather with a threat
ened attack of fever, but he is able to
navigate again, and will be behind the
willow this week He Is a little
gaunt, but Joe is a bail player and
does not mind small things like
week or two in the hospital. The team
is promising to make up for all short
comings of the past week, and will
not disappoint their friends.
The Eugene team has sold Reltz to
Hank Harris, of San Francisco, for
$500, and ODay, who was loaned to
Prebles, has been called home to re-
place the old leaguer at second.
Reitz has not mixed up with John
Barley Corn for about nine months,
and is said to be playing phenome
nal ball.

at St. Petersburg, of the Echo de

General KuropatlSin has ordered a

disposal not more than 10000 men,
exclusive Of the garrison at Port Ar

the garrison at Niu Chwang of $4,000.

WATER
FRONT
CASES
State Land Board Will Hear
Applications for the PEr-
chase Of a Number of
Tracts

The Newport water front cases
were before the state land board this
morning, but were continued until to.
morrow morning on account of the
absence of Governor Chamberlain
and Attorney Geo. G. Bingham who
appears for the Case estate. The
cases are attracting considerable at.
tention over at the coast as a mum.
Der of property owners are invilved
in the tangle.
James Booth, Ed Sullivan and
Eugene Williams recently made ap-
plication as trustees for the city for
the purchase of the tide and over
flow lands in front of the city of New
port and their applications are now
before the state board for action.
VIM. Matthews and Peter Abbey have
applied for the purchase of the same
lands, claiming occupation and prior
settlement of the same.
The lands were granted to the city
of Newport by the state when that
place was incorporated a number of
years ago, but Samuel Case discov-
cred that the charter was defective
and made application to the state for
the purchase of the lands some time
afterward The state conveyed the
same to him and individuals have
title through Case. A few months
ago, and after the death of Case
Booth Williams and Sullivan found
il is claimed, that the survey under
which Case purchased was wrong
and they caused a new survey to be
made and their application for pur.
chase followed.
The lands consist of the entire
water front at Newport, including
wharfs and docks. A number of
Buildings have been erected on the
tract and are occupied by business
houses, including the Abbey hotel,
Newport News, besides barber shops,
restaurants and numerous small con-
Germs.
The case will be wormly contested
and includes a number of interesting
legal questions to be passed upon by
the board.
Weatherford & Wyatt of Albany ap-
pear for Matthews and Abbey, and
Carson. Adams & Cannon for Will
liams, Booth and Sullivan.
j. A. Olsen, of Olsenville, has also
filed an application for the purchase
of land in lot in front of his addt
tion to Newport but this does not
'include any of the land in the other
applications

1t will not only become the finest
residence street of the city, but will
advance values of all property and
increase the rents.
Property that is now a drug and a
burden to the owner on unimproved
streets, would if they we're improved,
move off at big prices.
This statement has been repeated
often in this paper, but single dem
onstration would go farther to con
vince the doubtful.
With the Lewis and Clark fair com
ing on next year, the Capital City has
everything at stake, and will lose by
remaining in the bucolic stage.
The village. era is past. Salem is
city. The demands of the time are
for progress. With street improve
ments wonderful changes will come.
There has been no street improve
ment since p. H. Darcy was mayor,
about Is years ago. 1t is time some
one was waking up.
