Portland Telegram.

Where a year ago existed Chinese

natural shrubbery and well-kept grave

who will visit the Lewis and Clark
exposition In 1905. Where a year ago
nothing was heard but the rattle of
farmwagon and the whistles Of saw

the noise of the carpenters hammers
and the putting of the locomotives that
haul material trains to and from the

COMMUNITY IS BUFFALoEp.
Grays River Lad Has the Entire Town
Well Bluffed Out.

i The usually peaceful community o
lGrays River is very much excited owe
the land cotnest between w. N. Mes,
erve and a young man named jim
IStewart and what has transpired since
the hearing at the Vancouver land
Office. Meserve took up the land as q
timber claim, but Stewart contested
on the ground that II was better adapt
ed to agricultural pursuits. Meserve
showed that the land was of soapstone
formation and timber land in the
strictest sense Of the word, and before
the land Office officials made the best
showing, although final decision must
Ibe handed down from the Washington
office.
Among those who went to Vancouver
to swear that the land was not fit for
agricultural purposes was an old gem
tleman named Lawrence. When the
witnesses arrived home alst Saturday
young Stewart, who has just attained
his majority, and who is quite capable
physically, deliberately struck down
Mr.. Lawrence, who is past so. The
young bully felled the old man with
blow on the' head, rendering him un-
conscious, and when H. B. Ahlberg
went to pick up his aged friend, he,
too, was felled by the young scrub
Stewart seemed highly elated with the
success of his effort to beat the old
men, and wanted a crowd to advise
him as to whether or not he should
continue to beat them. The advice
was, fortunately, that he had wrought
enough damage, and he contented him
self with ordering the old-timers away
from the landing, where the disgrace
full incident was enacted.
There are no justices Of the peace
in the Grays River country, but the
victims of the brutal assault contem-
plated causing Stewards arrest in one
of the higher state courts. However,
hey are fearful that such action will
,nly net for them another beating, and,
therefore, proceedings will not be in
'tituted. Stewart is regarded at Grays
River as rowdy, and he seems to
nave terrorized the entire community
o an extent that renders him immune

haps with the transportation lines |
which are always slow. In view of the |
immense increase in traffic, the COM

should contribute literally. Since the
formation of the Freight Agents Asso-
citation the various lines have been
working in the utmost harmony, and
it is just possible the committee may I,
find itself up against an arrangement /,
of some sort, as was the case with one
class of merchants. However, the
transportation people have always been
liberal and can be relied upon to in
crease their contributions as the other
business interests of the city have :
done.
Members OF the finance committee ,
say there will be available for the .
regatta a total Of about $4,000. This
sum will greatly exceed any that has
heretofore been subscribed for the car ,

Through Line for Gains

PRINCETON, N. J.. Nov. IA
Everything is blue in old Nassau to-
night. Yale to-day administered the
second defeat of the season to the
orange and black, IL to 0, in the pres
ence of 5000 people. The game
does not deserve a niche in the hall
Of football fame, but there are one or
two individuals who stand out prom
inentIy among their fellows. Prince
ton will forever blame the elements
for to-day's defeat. The tntermit-
tent downpOurs of Friday had made
the gridiron soft and Shiny and the
wearers of the orange and black were
the chief sufferers.
Three times early in the opening
half were the representatives Of old
Nassau penalized for off-side play and
once for holding distance Of thirty
yards, a great advantage for a fierce
line bucking aggregation like the Yale
eleven. In the same half Yale sUf-
fered oply once for a penalty and at
the time the ball was so far in Prince
tons territory that the five yards
availed practically nothing. The game
was absolutely devoid Of spectacular
plays.
Each man on the Princeton eleven
endeavOred to do his share, but
Princetons gains and her defense
were due in great measure to the in
dividual playing of three men-CoOn-
ey, Foulk and Miller. The former
was used as a battering ram on the
Yale line and seldom failed to gain
his distance. and the two latter as the
second line of defense were brilliant.
Hogan, BlOOmer, Leavenworth and
Owsley were used to rip up Prince
tons line and were universally sue
cessfully. Shevlin showed no signs OF
fatigue. While Yale Outplayed Prince
ton in the opening half the latter
clearly had their opponents on the de-
fensive in the closing half. During
the last thirty-five minutes of play
the ball was almost continuously in
Yale's territory except when Hoyt
would kick. Yale's goal was never re-
ally in danger.
