plains and down the Columbia river
to its mouth.
But even Uncle Sam, with that rare
Yankee sBrewdness which he is sup
posed to possess, had penetrated this
great unknown territory, bisecting 1t
from side to side,. it was more than
40 years before anything like a definite
intention of settlement and occupation
took form. Though from the journals
of Lewis and Clark and the diaries of
some of their men it was distinctly
evident that "the Oregon country"
was land magnifcently opulent in
promise, land crying for settlers and
pitchers of milk vbgkqj jfijfijfijfh
developers even as babies cry for
pitchers of milk, full-twoscore years
passed before nation finally took
possession of the region, colonized' y
it and began to make it a part Of
the civilized world.
True, there was "A dispute as to its
ownership, Great Britain and the Unit
ed States both claimed the Oregon
country, and each appeared to have
some color of title. Yet it required
40 years to settle this matter and
during all that time Oregon and Wash
ington and Idaho-as now named and
known-remained wildernesses, with
but a struggling settlement here and
there, and those settlements harrassed
by hostile Indians and exposed to the
natural perils of remote outposts.
The history of the actual develop
ment of Oregon and her sister states
in the territory acquired by treaty
with Great Britain in 1916 is the his
tory of less than sixty acres of heroic
effort and high achievement. America
was discovered 413 years ago. James
town was colonized by the English
29S years ago. Plymouth Rock was
touched by the tread of the Mayflower
pilgrim 2SJ years ago. American in
dependence was declared 129 years
ago Lewis and Clark crossed the con-
tinent to the Pacific Northwest 100
years ago. The United States finally
acquired the Oregon country, by right
of discovery and exploration and after
40 years of Juggling, 80 years ago.

itors Of the so.called art have been
reaping a rich harvest of good Yankee
dollars.
American wrestlers have only con-
tempt for jiu jitsu. "It's all right,
il you Can get the holds, says John L..
Sullivan, "but if the other fellow .
any good he amt goin' to let you get
them holds on him.
The officials of West Point deter.
mined to investigate jiu jitsu and Sc.
cured pair of the best experts Japan
could furnish, They explained their
theories and illustrated them by tying
each other into hard knots. Then a
couple of West Point cadets stepped
forth and challenged the Japs to wres-
tie with them. In almost less time than
it takes to tell about it, both jiu jitsu
experts were laid helpless on their
backs.
But weight was in favor Of the
Amerieansi Not in this case. Both
Japs were larger than the American
lads who mastered them.
In bout between an American
wrestler and japanese jiu jitsu ex-
pert in Baltimore, in which the Jap
got decidedly the worst of it, it was
one of the conditions laid down by
the latter that his opponent should
wear hmono. If one has the right to
prescribe the clothing of his opponent
the manly art of self-defense or the
art of offense would become an ex.
tremely simple matter. 1t might be
insisted, for instance, that ones op.
ponent, in addition to wearing a XII.
mono, should have his hands tied be
hind him.
Jiu iitsu does not appear to be the
manly art of self f-defense, but rather
method of attack by springing upon
an unguarded person and taking pc
culiar hold upon his throat or by tax
ing him unawares in some other vul-
ncrable part of the person. The same
thing might be accomplished by creep
ing stealthily behind man and strik'
ing him down with sandbag.
1t is to be hoped that the academies
at West Point and Annapolis will
waste no more time upon this heather

EMPIRE SLOW BUT SURE.

The story of the discovery, explor
alton and settlement of the Oregon
county, to which the Lewis and Clark
Centennial Exposition at Portland is
drawing the attention of the world
presents some of the most astounding
aspects. Perhaps the fact that arouse'
the greatest degree of astonishment in
the up.to-date, hustling citizen of to
day is that such long period of time
was required for taking possession of
this vast territory after its discovery
and exploration.
The coast line Of Oregon and Wash.
ington was known to mariners gener-
ations before the interior was ex-
plored, and maps more or less accurate
were made from time to time. Spanish,
Dutch, British and Russian navigators
We'd with each other in exploring the
coast, but practically no attempt was
made to explore the interior of the
country until President Jefferson, a
hundred years ago, sent Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark from st.
Louis up the Missouri river to its
headwaters, across the mountains and

:" Westward the course of empire takes
it's way" but until three-score years
ago it took its way most deliberately
and with dignifed slowless.
But after getting our clutches firmly
fixed upon this Oregon country, we
have pushed forward the work of de-
velopment with gratifying rapidity.
With the extension of the railroad and
the invention of the telegraph, distance
has been annihilated-and II was dis
tance which was the main factor IN
keeping this great region undeveloped
for so many generations after the
eastern part of Americs was settled.
The Pacific coast was so remote from
civilization that one felt, as Joaquin
Miller has expressed it, that it was
land that even God had forgotten
Now it is but a few days trip by rail
from New York and a few seconds
time by wire from any point east or
west.
Great as has been the development
of the past 60 years, Oregon and her
sister states of the Pacific West are
as yet comparatively infants. There
is room for many millions of people
in addition to those now living in these
states, and the Lewis and Clark ex-
position no doubt will be the means
of drawing large increase of desir-
able population.

SLAGPILE NOTES.

Umpire Bassett had almost a perfect
record yesterday. The Improvement in the
umpiring added to the interest in the
game, and II he keeps up this class of
work there will be few objections to him
from any source. Manager Fisher con-
tended that Delehanty dropped ball in
left field in the first inning. He caught
the ball and started throwing 1t to center
field to Miller. The ball struck his leg in
the swing for the throw and fell to the
ground The umpire very rightly decided
that the ball had been caught.
Wilkie Clarkes throwing arm showed
an immense improvement yesterday, and
he whipped the ball to second base in fine
form His arm has shown Improvement in
every game, and it is getting to be
more serious problem for runners when
they start to steal.
Ward made double play yesterday in
the third inning. lansing was on first and
Accorsini hit the ball to Ward. He
touched the runner and threw to first,
easily getting the batsman. Umpire Bas-
sett did not see the first play and called
one he made yesterday that was off
color.
Both Moore and Ward are credited nth
errors in the fourth inning but TO large
extent they were excusable. Moore and
Delehanty came within an ace of S,olliding
in going after a fly to shallow left, and
Murdoch and Ward narrowly missed rum
ming together on similar play in right
field.
Both the infielders and the outhelders
were covering so much territory that the
errors were excusable. Fans can always
excuse errors of this kind when brilliant
playing follows. Ward stopped a grounder
over second base that looked impossible.
He was not quick enough to catch the
runner at first, but it was nevertheless
fast play.
Memphis and Birmingham are still at
the top OF the column with perfect per-
centage, something that no other teams
in the country in any of the leagues of
this class are sharing. Both teams have
won five straight games.
Never in the history of Barondom has
the team stayed at the top of the column
so long, and the fans are showing their
approval of the excellent work by the
most liberal patronage accorded any team
in the league Nearly 250o fans, to see
game on Wednesday is almost record
for any Southern league city.
Birmingham has no more consistent
player than Frank Hafford, at third He
has been batting in great form in all
the games so far and he generally leads
off with getting his base in some man
ner. His hit yesterday was timely, and

every bit as good as Duffy last year.
ii not better. He plays quietly, but he
has been errorless at third. The fans
believe that in Hafford they have the
fastest and the best third baseman the
Barons have ever had.
The Barons a.e improving In team work
eee~y day. and their excellent playing is
a - them in winning runs. No dis
cord exists and each player is pulling to
win. Several times yesterday the absence
of team work would have been a serious
draw back, as for instance when Dele
hanty scored on Clarke's clever play in
together.
Fred Moore played the game yester
day with a bad boil on his forefnger
which panied him considerably, and sew
eral times during the game it hurt so
much that he thought he would have to
retire in someone eles favor.
MuTuOCk got the MT yesterday lndI ne
was looking for. 1t was a clean triple,
and came as a foretaste of what he has
in store for the future. He has been
pretty unlueky in some of his hits being
caught by fast fielding.
Newt Fisher was teasing Miller yes
terday about the trick he worked on Nor
cum In the first game. Dusty" was re-
sponsibe for Norcum's getting caught off
the bag in the first inning. The Big In
jun chased to second base on a fly that
Murdoch caught, and he thought that
Miller was making a great effort to find
the ball. The center fielder was running
all round the center garden pretending
te be looking for the ball, and Norcum
thought 1T had fallen safo. 1t was an
old trick, but prettily played. Dusty
Is always III the game in things of TINT
kind and Il ey pick off many a runner
hire and there. Newt said the trick was
So old that it was a shame to work it.
Ginger Clarke and rip Raglan
have opened the eyes of the fans in the
last two games by peeling off safeties.
Ginger" SURPRISED them yesterday, and
it was a most pleasant surprise result
ing In the scoring of a run.
