he First Game.

IT. questionably true that the first was the most exciting. This was probably due to the closeness of the score The Bar ons. full of ginger, trotted to the field afaid the cheer of thousands of fanatics It was then evident that a game well wor'h seeing was having It's beginning The hrst run of the two that the Barons scored came in the second inning. Dale Car .ed off with screaming double to center. Walters placed d neat sacrifice and Oyler successfully worked the squeeze" In addition to scoring Gear. the fleet-footed shortstop was safe at first when Hermann 1elded badly to Coogan attempting to cut off the score. From the first to the eighth in addition to excellent work of the pitchers. the support of each was so fine that score was impossible. In the eighth. however the Barons spoke out loud to the Flnns using a Lea and Perrin's' accent. with the result that another tally was added to the i-st. Molesworth. Grst up hit safe Smith flied to pitcher and there was no advance. Alcock hit to the in- field was safe on fielder's choice. while Molesworth was turned over at second When, however. everything was looking a trifle downcast, young "Scottie" Alcock took the bit between his teeth, dashed for second, and after sliding in the dust and twisting between the legs of Bohan- the red-cheeked youth from Canada. the big first baseman of the Barons The first ball that Herman served up was met half
 
 of the nose. and sailed into right field for a double Alcock scored.
 Throughout this game Nashville had but one chance to score. In the fifth. with one down, Coogan doubled to left center and was sent to third by Herr mann's Texas leaguer to short right The next two up. however. went to the bad, and the only chance to tally was reck- lessly thrown to the wind
 The Second Victory.
 The greed of the Barons was not satis- fled, however. In the second struggle the same ginger, the same determination to win, and the same well oiled movement were still prevalent. Nashville made great efforts to win. When the score stood three to nothing in Birmnghams favor, the Films with gritted teeth sent two men scampering across the plate in the sixth. Then by an accident, or happy piece of luck Molesworth, passed on d fourth ball, which proved a wild pitch trotted about the sacks unmolested. With the score doubled. the Films would not consent to surrender, and in the ninth. one other man was paced under the ropes with tally.
 In the third inning, the Barons scored ehree runs. With one down, Smith tripled 10 deep center. Alcock was pasted in the left slat and purloined the keystone. Neeks, who, in the first game, had won The hearts of the spectators, sent screaming single to right, which, on ac- count of Gilberts error. stretched itself far enough to allow the heavy man and aiow to stop only at third. Two runs we're thus recorded

HI. v. Jones Gives an Estim-
ate of the Yield.
OUTLOOK is VERY BRIGHT.
Great Prosperity Predicted In the
Flour BUSINESS; What Is Due
From Canada.
ESPECIAL to The Free Press.l

Minneapolis, July 2l.-H. V. Jones,
who returned this morning from the Da-
kotas, says: The northwestern ccrop
will be safe in from ten days to two
weeks. The present promise is for an
enormous yield. Only a calamity can
change this prospective result and there
are no unavoidable indications yet. Ii
the crop natures the railroads will be
unable to take care of the business and
it will take fifteen months or over to
market it. Oats and flax are also in
fine condition and promise to break rec
ords. Corn is coming forward nicely.
This means great prosperity in the
northwest an overlooking business for
elevators, and should mean a large eX-
port -four business, for the United
States will have a surplus above home
needs of over 3OO,OOO,OOO and with Can
ada about 4OO,OOO.OOO In fact the
United States and Canada have the
promise of almost one billion. No such
outlook has ever been in prospect on
the American continent.

FAST RACES FOR THE FAIR.
Many Noted Horses to BE at the Big
Show

Secretary E. W. Randall of the State
bert Lea, where he attended the race
meet and acted as one of the Judges.
He says that it was a very lively meet
and that many horses entered for state
fair races were warmed up there on
Wednesday. Prominent divers and
trainers from various parts of the cOun
try were on hand-and incidentally, they
are all coming to the Minnesota state
fair in September, says The Minneapo-
lis Tribune
Warm commentator and congratula-
tions on the Minnesota fair entry list
continue to come I'M w. H. Knight, Sec
rotary of the American Trotting asso-
citation, and one of the best posted
horsemen in the world, writes:
81 can assure you that you should be
very proud of such list. 1t is not
only first class in quality, but also in
quantity, and certainly will insure you
a most successful meeting"
In the Chicago Horse Review, C. H.
Cello, editor of the Western department,
says:
"Judging by the generous entry re-
ceived by the several leading Western
associations where nominations have re-
Gently closed, there will be an abund-
ance of racing from this time on in the
west and the fields will be generally
large. Foremost, as usual, is the Min
nesota State Fair association for the
big Hamlne speed carnival during the
first week in September. The aggregate
entry is nearly 300. There are 20 horses
named in the $1,000 2:l3 pace, % in the
$1,000 2:2l trot, 20 in the $500 2:36
trot, 90 in the $500 2:3O pace. The
Broncho, 2:O3H; Hazel Patch, 2:O2A;
Ecstatic, 2:O5A; Blackjack, 2:07H and
several others in the $1,000 2:O2 pace,
should result in the most sensational
and fastest Western pacing race of the
year."
As a matter of fact there will be no
faster race in the whole country than
this 2:02 pace at the Minnesota state
fair. No such race is scheduled on any
of the Eastern programs.

Peace and the underworld.


Although diplomacy has effected 2
worldwide peace which gives "a surface
promise of lasting, there are ominous
signs Of turmoil and discomfort in the
older civilizations Of Europe. Every
where there is social rebellion
against class and capital and among
small nauonalities renewed aspira.
tion for freedom. The Ncrwegians
split off from Sweden for social rather
than political reasons. They say that
the Swedes are naughty and domineer-
ing When the Hungarian quarrel
comes to be fought out It will array
the masses against the classes. The
petty nations of the Balkans are at
war over race privileges.
In Russia the great forces of tho
country are warning over issues which
are social and industrial rather than
political, and the Finlanders and Poles
are out for complete separation or au-
tonomy. In Germany there is a strils.
ing example of the union between SO.
cial discomfort aud practical politics,
The Socialists are hostile to the state
and to the kaiser, and their leaders,
who are in political power, boldly at.
tack the policy of the emperor In
France there Is for the first time In the
history of that republic a solid group
of radical Socialist deputies numbering
seventeen, and their leader and drill
master recently declared that Socialism
has no business in politics except to
hasten the upsettlng of capitalism. An
other spokesman of this class recently
counseled French soldiers to strike In
case Of war and go home,
AS In 1S48, there Is now all over Eu-
rope spirit of unrest and discomfort.
Unless there should be a diplomatic
war to encourage revolution at home
the general peace may not be soon dis
turbed. The governments are strongly
armed, but, If they are not sure of the
fidelity of the Socialist troops, may still
the storm by granting concessions I'M
til the masses get what they seek with
out repetition of the scenes Of 1849.

BIG STRIKE IN MON
TANA OIL FIELDS
Spokane Petroleum Co. Gets
Rich Property in Oil Belt.

According to press dispatches, Hon.
D. P. Bowers, state representative
from Spokane district, has struck it
rich" in the Montana oil fields. He
has secured 200 acres in Teton county,
Montana, situated in the northwest
portion of the state, near the Alberta
line, the locality that has recently
startled the country by the remarkable
oil wells discovered. Lubrcating oil
Of a high grade has been found in
large quantities. The tract is situated
on the east side of the Rocky mountain
range, adjacent to some rich paying
oil properties.
Mr.. Bowers secured the services of
Prof. Hughey, we'll known authority
on geology, who for number of years
was connected with the Smithsonian
institute, to examine and report on the
land. He made thorough examina-
ton of the property and submitted
lentghy report, in which he stated that
the land was rich in oil and could be
secured at a depth of 800 feet The
property has the best of transportation
facilities. 1t adjoins the Great North
ern at what is called Lubec siding and
the first we'll will be sunk within 200
feet of the railroad.
Mr.. Bowers has organized the Spo-
kane Petroleum Company, of which he
is the president and manager, OF
handle his property, and the first Treas
ury stock has been placed on the mar
ket at five cents per share, the pro-
ceeds to be used for sinking the first
we'll. An allotment of 10000 shares
has been made to Pullman, and w. S.
Mills, the company's representative,
was in town this week for the purpose
of securing local subscriptions. Unlike
other propositions heretofore presented,
Mr. Wills had no stock to deliver.
All payments must be made to the or
der of the company, thus showing that
the money received is to be expended
in sinking the first we'll and will not
go into private individuals pocket.
The stock will be issued direct from
the home office upon receipt of the ap-
plcation.
The proposition differs from many
others in that the timber on the land
and townsite prospects should bring
handsome returns, even if oil is not
discovered in paying quantities, as
every stakeholder, no matter how small
his investment, will have an interest
in the 5000 acres owned by the com
pany.
1t has the advantage over quartz
mining in that it only requires about
$4,000 to buy the machinery and sink
the first we'll and put the proposition
on a paying basis, while it requires
$50, 600 to 500, 600 to develop a quartz
mine.
An analysis of the oil gives the
fol1ouiuo- poCI11to.
