is NOT HUNTING OIL.
J. B. Dabney Denies Newspaper Stories About
His Oil Seeking.

IT'S VII 9eek'nS.
The Hoquiam Washingtonian printed
story last week that transformed ]. B.
Dabney into an oil magnate of the first
water, with design to exploit the
Olympic peninsula who had struck a
gusher in California; was now drilling
wells in Texas and Louisiana, and had
experts exploring Kansas and Wyoming
for petroleum. 1t was a real good story,
the only trouble with it being that 1t
was not true.
Now, while Mr.. Dabney would not OBJ.
ject to following the footsteps OF Rookie
Teller, he is too modest to travel under
false colors. and so, wishes the state.
ments made by the Hequiam paper, and
copied in Aberdeen and Montesano,
contradicted.
Although it is pity to spoil such a
nice story, the facts are, Mr.. Dabney has
not had the oil experience attributed to
him; has not several wells being drilled
in Texas and Louisiana; has no experts
exploring Kansas and Wyoming; is not,
nor does not intend becoming, interested
in any oil propositions in Washington,
and has no impression whatever con.
corning the site Of the Olympic company,
never having been on the Olympic
peninsula.

day. and Nearly Shuts the Locals Out.

Notwithstanding the drizzing rain
yesterday afternoon, about 400 fans wit
messed the defeat of Aberdeen's crack
baseball team; defeat made doubly
calling by reason Of the victors being
their old-time competitors from Hoquiam.
Our pennant chasers we're simply in
hard luck. Knapp indisposed. Brown

with lame arm, " ere some of the handi-
caps the locals labored under, while their
rivals were in the pink of condition. Still
the boys were game to the finish, and
made the visitors work for all they got.
The game was called at 3:45, with
lIoquiam at the bat. Philbrick was first
up; was struck by a pitched ball, and
took the first. Baker singled, and Sher-
W ood failed to handle hot grounder hit
by Baxter. Philbrick was put out be-
tween third and the plate, and Gregg's
defective vision gave Baker life. Law
flyed to Clemens. and Reeves hit to
Strayer and was thrown out, closing the
inning without score.
Rochon led off for the locals, and hit
to center, Campbell walked to first. but
Browns hit to short resulted in a double
play, retiring the side. In the second
Girard hit to Strayer and was thrown out
at first. Halbert retired on a hit to Belt
Miller hit one too hot for Sherwood, and
went to second on Browns passed ball,
and was left there by Phipps being
struck out. The third inning witnessed
several good plays, high catch by
Rochon bringing roar from the fans

Baker smashed one to center for three
bases, scoring Baker and Law, coming
home himself on Reeves single. Reeves

Girard walked; Halbert went out to
Campbell, and Miller lived to first by a
scratch. while Girard scored. Campbell
made sensational sliding stop of
Browns poor throw to second, but was
unable to tag Miller, and when the
inning closed Hoquiam had scored five
times. Aberdeen again received a
goose egg.
In the sixth Hanson went in the box,
but the visitors had a graveyard rabbits
foot with them, and Aberdeen was up
against it. The boys pluckily stayed
with it, but fate was clearly against
them. In the eighth inning they sue
ceeded in crossing the home plate four
times, land those were the only times they
were permitted to score in the game.

OUR LIMITATION.
CONGRESSMAN JOHN S. Will.
LIAMS ON LARGE ARMY.
The More PopuIous We Grow the Smaller Army
Needed. That Is. II We Do Not Go a
"WorId.Powerins." and Surrender Our
Traditional Ideas.

1t is frequently said that the more
populous We grow the larger ought to be
our army, and there are those who have
percentage theory Of self.defence, one
soldier to each 1000, or each 5000 or
each 10000 citizens. The contrary is
true-the more populous we grow the
greater our reserve forces and the smaller
/ the army that we need for internatio nal
purposes. The American republic needed
an army, and large army. for defensive
purposes more during the period from
the date of the recognition OF it's inde-
pendence down to 1915 than it needs
now or will ever need again. If we are
going ''to 60 world -powering," Of course
that is different question. If we are
going to surrender our traditionary ide as
as to what government was made for
and adopt the Roman idea, or the
Russian idea, or the Macedonian idea,
then, OF course, all have said goes for
naught. If we are going to take all the
little islands OF the seas and hold them
with mailed hand, whether their
people will or not, and make for ourselves
"stepping-stones around the globe"
justifying it by the hypocritical pretence
of "bearing the white mans burden" or
having commission to civiize the earth
according to the American standard,
with Bible and a dollar in one hand
and sword in the other, killing people
to make them trade with us. or to guard
or preserve "spheres of commercial in.
huence" instead of building up our own
waste pla ces and gradually getting ready
for the accomplishment of the old Ameri.
can dream OF magnificent continental
St vereignty and hemisphere hegemony,
then what have said goes for naught.
My premises have been taken from
under me.
As long as we stand for the reasonable
possibilities and just hopes of our CONT
mental position, availing ourselves OF the
God-given boon Of ocean defence, there
is no temptation upon the part of any
OIlc w dltdCh us. w ildt llttlc
we furnish to the greed OF the world to-
day, increasing occasions of war, consists
of our possession Of the Philippine islands
and possibly Hawaii. l do not believe
that l hazard just criticism in saying
that the possession OF the PHILIPPINES
alone doubles the number of ships to be
necessarily built and maintained by the
United States. Every outlying possession
weakens us in self.defensive war
against any strong power. If we are to
"eirdle the earth with stepping-stones,"
each stepping-stone will require garri-
| son, and almost each one will require a
naval station. Why can not we learn
| the old lesson, the lack of learning which
has destroyed so many great and vigor-
Gus people before us;
Tiled down by race and creed and land and
station,
Go learn to find thy strengthen limitation?
Our manifest geographical limitation is
the North American Continent, the
Gulf of Mexico, and the Trans-Isthmian
Canal. John Sharp Williams, in
