Commercial Club Wins the First
Game at South Bend and
Loses Afternoon Match.
UMPIRE ROBBED AsTORiANS
Three Bad Decisions and Fletch'
er's Costly Error Shut the
CIubmen Out of De-
served Victory.

South Bend, Wash, Aug. 2O.-(Spe-
cial)-The Commercial Club baseball
team made standoff with South Bend
today, and would have won both games
had it not been for three rank decis-
ions in the ninth. The umpire was
very anxious that the afternoon game
should go to the home team, and his
unfair decisions robbed the Astorians.
Reed pitched an errorless game and
won by score of to 4.
In the afternoon Welsh did the
twirling for the clubmen. He was
given good support until Fletcher
dropped long fly. which let in three
runs. In the ninth the clubmen should
have won but for the decisions of the
umpire. The afternoon score was
TO 2.
The Astorians will play tomorrow
afternoon and return home at night.

WoMAN'S FAlTHFuLNESS.
Took the Place of Her Dead Husband
and Kept the Liaht Burning.


The lighthouse board of the depart
ment of commerce and labor has under
consideration the appointment of q
woman lightkeeper. in which there Ii
one of the most pathetic stories OF
feminine heroism perhaps that has ever
occurred in that branch Of the public
service.
On the Mississippi coast there Is a
lighthouse on lonely spot. Cat island
Occasionally the supply boat or q
pleasure yacht touches there, but days
pass and no human being comes near.
Some weeks ago. when Mrs. Mccall,
wife of the lightkeeper. Daniel Mccall,
called her husband to his supper, no
found her husband dead on the boat
wharf. She endeavored to move his
body, but was not strong enough. then
covered his body and returned to her
rooms. Night had come on, and she
remembered that the light must burn,
She went into the tower, applied the
flame, and soon the rays were reflect
ing across the turbulent waters. Mrs.
Mccall at once discovered that the
lamp did not mechanically revolve-
something was wrong. but she did not
know how to remedy IT. but she knew
must revolve. and upon her alone rest
ed the great trust of protecting the
lives of seamen in that region. She
attemped the task of turning the lamp
with her hands, and all night she stood
revolving the great glass prism. all
alone, with her husband lying dead near
by. There she was alone for two
nights, and not until the third day was
her distress flag seen and relief sent.
The story of this devotion to duty
came under the personal observation
of Major A. E. Craighill of the United
States engineers. The temporary work
of the station has been done by a
nephew of Mrs. Mccall. The salary
at the Cat island station is about 5000
per annum.

Commercial Street.
A fisherman who was too thorough
ly intoxicated to tell much about him
self. was rescued from the river at an
early hour yesterday morning. G. NJ.
Celler, who had risen early to accom-
pany Mr.. and Mrs. S. Danzizer to the
San Francisco steamer. was first made
aware Of the predlcament OF the fish
erman by his cries for help. Mr.. Gel
Ter secured an ak and with several
other men chopped a holt In the side
walk near the corner Of Eleventh and
commercial streets and hauled the
fisherman from the water. The man
was almost naked and evidently had
been In the water for two hours or
more. When rescued he wore only
an undershirt and shoes and stock
ings Stimulants revived him, but he
was unable to give an intelligent ac-
count of himself He managed to make
1t understood that he had been In the
lower end OF the city. but how he
came to be in the water was a mystery
to him. Evidently he had walked and
swum eight or 10 blocks to the spot
where he was rescued. He was pro-
vided with clothing and told to go to
his home In East Astoria. Had Mr..
Celler failed to have heard the mans
cries for assistance, he undoubtedly
would have perished.

made over all lines and II Is expected
that 10000 visitors will be In Astoria

pie of the city in general will do ev-
erything possible to make pleasant the
stay of regatta visitors.
The street fair this year will be
managed directly by the carnival COM
mittee, of which J. H. q. West is the
leading spirit. Mr.. West has had con-
siderable experience In the show bus

been highly praised. Without West.

THE VALUE OF A PRO- PECT

The examination of a prospect is
most unsatisfactory made for a mining
engineer, says the Mining Report. Gen.
eral rules are of no real value. and
each one has to be governed in each
case by the special conditions that
confront one A poor prospect may de-
velop into a good mine, and a fine
showing may peter out to nothing.
Measurements and sampling rarely dis
close anything of a sufficiently definite
nature to allow of passing judgment
with any degree of certainty that one
is right. This does not, of course.
mean the prospects should not be ex-
ahmed or that valuable opinions can
not be rendered by engineers. On the
contrary, it is as important to examine
a prospect before purchase as it is q
mine. Yet the value of an opinion on
a prospect is worth much less than
one on a well-developed property.
There is more risk attached to the pur.
chase of a prospect. Again, al engi-
neer who has had a wide experience
III IL iCCC1odi -bAC SOfilChAiHiS
called mining instinct" can give ar
opinion that is commerce ally valuable
on a prospect. If. however, his opin-
ion Is right three times out of five, he
will be doing good work.
Sonnet mes. indeed. frequently. owing
to conditions. geological or otherwise,
a prospect can be condemned with rea-
sonable certainty: far more f equently,
In fact, than it can be endorsed.
One difficulty in ~appraising a prospect
is that. in the majority of cases, it is
worth more to the owner h a posi-
BILE purchaser. The ~prospector often,
by holding on, may develop the pros
pect into a valuable property. He
necessarily takes chances. That is his
business. One good sale will repay
many disappointments. and hence the
~prospector will hold on, or be unwill-
ing to sell except at a price higher
than the prospect is worth. The sale
of a prospect, even when it looks well,
is essent ally a matter of bond n
lease, the terms being governed by
local conditions.
