Upon removing the bandages from Hills

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Va, March
20.-After eleven more days of practice the
Washington base ball club will return home
to begin playing exhibition games. The
first week of the squads stay in Virginia
was marked by superb weather, and the
light work in which the players engaged
has proven most beneficial. In fact, the
physical condition of the men is about all
that could be desired. From now on the
players will get going fast. now that they
have found their bearings.
Signal and batting Practice was the order
of the day last week, but general team
work will be striven for from now on. And
1t is to be attained only by the hardest
work. The schedule for the present week
calls for a two-hour practice in the morn
ing and a game every afternoon-lf not
with the University of Virginia team, then
among themselves The collegians have
contest for this afternoon with the Fish
burne Military Academy nine, the last of
the games with the preparatory schools of
the state. Manager Pages schedule calls
for no other game until Saturday, so the
varsity will no doubt be lined up against
the Washingtons on tomorrow, Wednes-
day. Thursday and Friday afternoons. The
collegians realize that they have, perhaps,
put up their best game against the pro-
fessionals and look for the scores to be
more One-Siled.

turned to the hotel where they read the
morning papers, which came In at IL O'Clock.
In the afternoon the squad accepted an in
vitation to take a tallyho ride to Monticello,
the home OF JEFFERSON, some three miles dis
tant. Besides spanking four-in-hand, the
merry party enjoyed the splendid drive up
and down the mountain side. The speed
which the tallyho attained coming down the
decline frightened several of the men, and
more than one threatened to jump out I'M

one, however. carried out his threat-Jacob-

ness as is customary with transporta-
ton companies, to buy. lease and
maintain, dispose of, sell an operate
franchises and electric light plants In
the state of oregon; to own and devel-
op water powers; to own, sell and eX-
change property of whatever descrip-
ton, and to borrow money, issue bonds
and conduct any other financial opera
tions as shall become necessary in the
operation of the project.
1t is plain from the incorporation
papers that the company intends to
engage extensively in the transporta-
tion business, and that 1t also proposes
to control water power and electric
light plants along its line and in the
cities in which II operates. The capi-
tai of 100000 would not, of course,
be sufficient to carry out even such
plans as the projectors have made
public through their agents. An cleo
trio line from Salem to Portland, ap-
proximately 50 miles in length, would
cost $750,000 to build and put In
operation.
The life of the company, as stated
in its papers, is to be perpetual. The
filing fee paid the secretary of state
was $67. The papers were witnessed
by J. B. Wetherell and C. b. Miller.

Articles of Incorporation of Electric

The Portland-Salem Electric Rail-

papers as the working stock of the

this amount of money will be involved
in the various transportation schemes
of the company, which contemplates
the construction of network of inter-

The following circular letter has
Just been received by citizens of Salt
Lake City, who are organizing the
Tourists association for the purpose
OF stimulating American travel:
Salt Lake City. Nov. 1.-(Editor
East Oregonian. I'VE beg leave to in
Vite your attention to the movement
inaugurated by the Commercial club
of this city looking to the diversion
into western channels of part of the
tide OF tourist travel now flowing from
America to Europe.
A conservative estimate, made by
reliable authorities, places the amount
OF money expended in foreign coun-
tries during the season of 1904-05 by
American sightseers at s150,000, 900.
This great sum was paid in large part
by men and women in search of
health, pleasure or recreation, who,
though native to the United States,
were in comparative ignorance of the
scenic, climatic and industrial advan-
tages of that portion of our country
lying west of the Mississippi river.
1t will, we think, be readily admit
ted that any material part of the
amount named above, If spent in west
ern communities, would not only make
for the great financial betterment and
upbuilding, but would most desirably
extend and increase the general
knowledge of what this important
section of the nation has to offer to
the seekers for health, amusement,
recreation or investment, who now
crowd foreign capitals and pleasure
resorts.
We understand, of course, that the
old world will always draw to itself
many thousands of our people because
of its historical and religious interest,
its scientific, artistic and musical ad-
vantages, and we admit that this is
proper and desirable; but we do be-
lieve that America, and particularly
the western portion thereof, is entitled
from all the standpoints of interest to
more attention from a certain class of
Americans than 1t has heretofore re-
ceived.
As conditions now exist many of
our people are heard ravlng over the
beauty of the Trossachs, the glory of
the Rhine, the magnificence of the
Alps, who have never seen and have
but small conception of the grandeur
OF the Rocky mountains or the splen-
dor of the Columbia river.
In an effort to rectify the conditions
of which complaint is here made the
Commercial club of Salt Lake CITY.
has undertaken the work of awaken
ing interest in this subject among the

Three months in Panama, fighting
yellow fever mosquitoes, eating Pana-

more of II.
He left Panama 90 days ago and
came direct to San Francisco, from
which place he arrived here last night
on his way to Spokane.
He says the government has so To-
comotives on the Panama road, all of
which are working constantly, two
shifts of eight hours each day, making
over 100 engineers in the employ of
| the government at the isthmus. The
engines were mostly left over from
the French contracts and are about
half American and half Belgian. The
engineers are almost wholly Ameri-
/ can, a few French engineers being
among them.
Mr. Bristow says that the work on
the canal and the excitement conse-
quent upon it are the only things
which keep Americans alive on the
isthmus. There is such an oppressive
sameness In the long sultry, swelter.
Ing days and the misty, dense, oppres-
sive nights. that a man accustomed tc
life and vigorous action would die OF
loneliness and monotony were it not
for the activity attending the large
operations on the canal.
He says the employees generally
highly respect Chief Engineer Johr
| Stevens, but few of them admire Taft
or Shonts. Very little is seen of any
of the higher officials in Panama, but
their policies are transmitted down tC
the lowest position among the laborer.
and the men judge the officials by
their policies.
Bristow says that about the only
supply which reaches Panama unpol.

is the coal for the engines. Thi.

Jefferson Memorial association of
Washington, D. c., a national enter
prise which has been started for the
purpose of erecting a beautiful me-
mortal building in the national capital
in memory of the author of the Dec

This association is selling a beauti-
fully bound and illustrated set of JEFF

for the purpose of erecting this build
ing. The University of Virginia do
mated Jefferson's complete manu-
script works, to be sold for this pur-
pose and all the profits above the
actual expenses are turned into the
building fund.
In this way the association offers
the people excellent value for the
money as well as to further a national
enterprise of intense interest to all
patriots.
