The Harlan-Audubon Foot Ball.


The game was called about 800
O'Clock Saturday. Hal Campbell, of
the Tribune, acted as referee and did
satisfactory work. Supt. Mantz, Of
Audubon, was umpire and his deci-
sions we're fair. There was consider
able controversy, the rules being APP
pealed TO twice TO the advantage of
Harlan in both instances.
In the first half Audubon had the
Kick of and sent the ball far into
Harlan's territory and very quickly
caught our player and held the locals
for downs. Only once for short
time did Harlan put the ball into the
enemies country. Audubon then kick
ed and held Harlan for downs and
kicked goal from field. Score, end of
first half 40 in Audubon's favor.
Second half Harlan kicked off and
held Audubon for downs then by Il
series of mastery plays made touch
down and kicked goal. Score q. Har-
Ian again carried the ball down 10
Audubon'S tender lOin and was held
for downs. Audubon tailed To gain
and kicked but Harlan carried the
ball back and finally made touch
down. Score Ali Audubon kicked off
and for few minute held our boys in
TOO close proximity to goal but they
slowly pushed it back toward the cen
ter and were in safety til time was
called, final score All.
The reforms to much talked of were
probably introduced but were scarcely
visible to the naked eye of the anna
teur. Ii is q matter of Srave doubt If
the. game is capable of being reform
ed" The basic principle of lhe game
is brute force. In this regard 1t is
entirely different from baseball in
which skill and individual initiative
play an important wart.

The Eugene Guard says of the eff
fort being made to bring the remains
of Col. E. D. Baker from California
to Oregon:
j. w. Geary Post G. A. R., of this

ker. an hOnored citizen, an eminent
statesman and a gallant soldier of Or
egon, was killed in battle In defense

MADE OREGON TENT BOOK.
Pioneer Mathematician Living on Cas-
Cade Mountains.

\ correspondent writing from Eu-
gene says of an interesting Oregon
character:
Living at the little station of sum-
NIT, where the Corvallis & Eastern
railroad crests the ridge of the Coast
range, is the man who wrote the first
arithmetic ever used in Oregon. C.
H. Mattoon is his name and in addi-
tion to having given the pioneer chill
dren of this state their first arithme-
tic, he bears the distinction of hold
ing the oldest Baptist ministerial IL
cense ever written in Oregon.
Rev. Mr.. Mattoon wrote his arith-
metic in 1S4S when he was only %
years old. 1t was used extensively in
the east and 400 copies were shipped
to Oregon in 1S49. While there had
been a few scattering copies of arith-
metics here prior to that time, this
was the first work of the kind used
generally in this state. When ne
compiled the book Rev. Mr.. Mattoon
was a resident of Ohio, but he crossed
the plains in 1851 and became one of
the first Baptist ministers on the
coast. His ministerial license, the
first issued by the Baptist church in
Oregon, bears the date 1853, and was
secured when he became pastor of the
old Shiloh church, in Marion county,
six miles north of jefferson.
Rev. Mr.. Mattoon was the first pro-
fessor of mathematics in McMinnville
college, taking the chair when the in
stitution was founded in 1858. He
was late pastor of the Baptist church
at Albany and has served the Oregon
Baptist convention in different capac-
tiles. His home is at McMinnville, but
he now lives with his daughter-in-
law at Summit. He is known as the
historian of the Baptist church in this
state, and has written work called
the Baptist Annals of Oregon"

4 800 POUND BEAR IN \ TRAP.
Hunting and Trapping is Good in the
Cascades.

1t seems that President Roosevelt
will have to be invited to come to
Lane county. says the Eugene Regis
ter. Bear in the mountain districts
Of the county are becoming more plen-
tiful every year, and scarcely a day
passes that we do not hear of one OF
these animals being killed in some
section of the county. The latest that
has been reported TO the Guard was
the capture of a 3O0-pound bruin by
the Afro boys, who live at 4S6 West
Fifth street, but who run a ranch
three miles west of Spencer Butte.
For some time Mr.. Bruin has been
invading the Albro orchard, helping
himself to the choice apples, breaking
the branches of the trees and raising
Cain in general.
Friday night the boys set trap for
him. and on awakening Saturday
morning they found they had their
game. In the struggle which ensued
To- kill him a valuable bear dog was
badly crippled. After a rough and
tumble fight in a few minutes the
fierce brute was laid low by a we'll
directed shot from David Albro's
trusty Winchester.

this morning from a visit to WASH
mgton and other eastern cities, says
the Salem Journal. Mr., Crawford
visited the capital to arrange for the
prosecution of the claims of this state
against the United States government
These claims have been pending for
more than 40 years, and amount to
more than 100000.
During the civil war the United
states troops stationed at the various
forts in oregon were called to the
east To take an active part in the
great conflict. Oregon was then asked
to supply these posts, which was done
Oregon paid and maintained the SOL
diery during the war, and now 1t
seems that the state is in fair way
to receive compensation.
Mr. Crawford employed Ralstcn &
Siddons, Washington attorneys, TO
look after the interest of Oregon be-
fore the Coutr of claims. II is expects
ed that the court will act on this case
in time to have the matter so before
the next session of congress.

EARLY OREGON PAPERS.
George II. Hines Has Collected Over
Ton and Half.

During the past summer George II.
Hiles Of the Oregon Historical socie-
ty, has visited Walla Walla, Pendle-
ton. La Grande. Baker city, Hunting
ton, Ontario, Nampa and Boise City.
Besides making notes about the ex-
periences of numerous pioneers, he
has gathered ton and a half Of old
newspapers published in eastern Ore
gon and Washington, some Of them
dating as far back as 1862.
With the latest accession the His
torical society now has an accumula-
ton Of more than 1000 newspapers
published on this coast from the date
Of the first paper at Oregon City, Feb
ruary 3, 1S46, up to the present time.
The Historical society hopes at no
distant date to be financially able to
place all these papers in bound vol
umes and have them properly indexed
so that the information they contain
about every phase OF human growth
In the Oregon country may be made
accessible to the public in general.
When bound they will make SOC
volumes two inches thick, and be in
valuable to posterity In Oregon.

THE PENDLETON BURGLARY.
A. Bennett of The Dalles Optimlst
Gives Burglars Tins.

A. Bennett of The Dalles Optimist,
comments as follows on the recent
burglary committed in the residence
of Lee Teutsch, in this city:
One night last week bold, bad
burglar man broke into the residence
of Lee Teutsch, the merchant prince
of Pendleton, and burgled all over
the house.
In his quest for valuables he en-
tered the room where the aforesaid
merchant prince and his wife lay
a-snoring, and he bore from out the
chamber the wearing apparel of Mr..
Teutsch and took 1t down to the sa-
Ion, where he made a close search Of
the pockets, thinking no doubt he
would be at least a few thousand dol
lars richer when he got through. But
what a shock that burglar had in
store for him! He found in the raj
ment just 80 cents and dollar watch,
of the vintage of Ingersoll
Great guns! What is Pendleton
coming to? How are our professional
men to make a living. If in the resi-
dence of a merchant prince the gross
proceeds are only measly 80 cents
and a dollar super! But in this case
the burglar man did not take that
No. He left the cash and the watch
intact, and probably made a straight
line for some other locality, or sought
the pier and found a watery grave
What a foolish burglar he was to
be sure! There lay Tall Timber Geer
asleep in the same town, and we will
bet if the burglar man had touched
his clothes he would have got a roll
of greenbacks as big as a beer Keg:
and in another part Of the same old
town lay Bert Huffman, snoring like
a pile-driver, and his pockets were
evidently filled to the very seams with
gold and silver and greenbacks and
precious stones.

telegraph of the Hartman northwest
lines, will conduct a second series of
experiments In few days with
train telephone.
The railroads wish to perfect an ap-
paratus which will make 1t possible
for the conductor to converse from
any car with the engineer in the cab.
a trial was made several months ago
and a conversation was carried on be-
tween the cab and the baggage car
while the train was in motion.
Some trouble was experienced be-
cause of the vibration, but 1t Is
thought this can be overcome. Doubt
is entertained as to the practicability
of applying the same service on
freight trains, though it would prove
of more help on the passengers.
The trouble of handling the wire
on freights, especially when they were
local and stop at so many stations,
has presented problem. on the pas
senger trains a contact would be pro-
vided between the coaches. but as
freight cars are used from almost
every road in the country, 1t would
be necessary for all to be so equipped
The telegraphone, which is a tele-
phone connected with the telegraph
wire on the line, was worked fairly
successfully few days ago from
Portland to La Grande, over 800
miles. 1t is thought that in the early
morning, when no train dispatches
are being sent, the apparatus could
be used as far as Huntington.
The principal idea of the telephone
is to permit train crews to converse
with the dispatchers when they are
away from telegraph stations. Each
caboose is fitted with an instrument
and connection is make by hooking
wires over the telegraph line.

LAND OWNERS

CLAIM THE RECLAMATION
BUREAU is RESPONSIBLE.
Amended it Appears That Vested

the Government, and Land Values

Number of Farmcrs-Governmc
VIII BE Subject 10 Damage Suits.

A large number of land owners I'M
der the Ahtanum lateral of the pro-
posed Tieton irrigation canal who are
members of the Tieton Water Users
association, are dissatisfied with the
new move of the reclamation service
in lowering the canal so that their
lands will be left without water, ac-
Cording to the Yakima Republic.
Some of these men are saying they
will make an appeal to the secretary
Of the interior. They assert that they
have been deceived and that the re-
clamation service is not treating them
according to the inducements held
out.
1t has been just discovered by some
Of these people that the final survey
of the canal will leave their land,
which they believed to be worth any
where from $40 to $50 an acre. high
and dry.
These people claim they went into
the association with the understand
ing that the canal would be built on
the survey made at that time; that
they assisted in securing membership
to the organization and settle the con-
fusion of adjusting the entire water
question.
1t is now claimed by these people
that the canal has been lowered for a
purpose that does not appeal to them
as being just. They say that a drop
of over 200 feet from the Cowiche
ridge to the Wide Hollow district has
been made and that the canal has
been given too great a fall. whereas,
If it were built at a higher level it
would carry the amount of water re-
quired and still water their lands.
These people also accuse the recla-
nation service of deliberately making
this change with the view of watering
about 1900 or more acres in the All
tanum valley. These people cite in
corroboration of the last statement
the fact that a number of the All
tanum land owners have Joined the
Tieton Water Users association, and
the people joining have not had suf-
ficient water in the past
The final survey of the Ahtanum
lateral has not been completed. The
engineers are now working on it.
When it was discovered that the stakes
were being set away below the orig
inal survey then it was that some peo-
pie began to realize that they had
made some big investments in what
would continue to be dry lands.
Tracts in that neighborhood have
been selling at a high figure per acre.
Some have brought $50 an acre.
As Engineer Jacobs is out of the city
today the facts as to the towering Of
the canal could not be obtained.
At the regular meeting of the trus-
tees Of the association next Monday
the matter will be considered. 1t was
stated this morning by one of the
members that an effort would be
made to have the action Of the en-
gineers in making the change rescind-
ed.

houses, district schools, cities, towns and villages-in fact, everything neces- sary for state government. We have good laws, our people are industrious and law abiding, and the Indians are
 being educated to work, and many ot them are self-sustaining.
 Yet with all of this progress and ad- vancement. the people of Arizona are not seeking admission into the union as state. We had rather wait awhile until our population and wealth have increased to such an extent that the rest of the country may recognize us for what we are worth. We had rather wait a decade or longer, rather than be united with New MeXico-nor that we dislike the people of New Mexico. They have our sympathy in the;r fight for statehood. But we do wish that they, in their efforts for statehood, would attend to their own affairs and let us alone, as we do not wish to be forced in with people who outnumbef us two to one, and who differ from us in laws. customs, races and ideals.
 Third. The people of Arizona are al- most unanimously opposed to being
 joined with New Mexico as one state even though the name of Arizona is re-
 tained. This opposition has been fully demonstrated. Every political conven-
 tion throughout the territory in 1904 regardless of politics. passed resolu tions against jointure. The legislature which met in 1905 did the same, and recently since congress convened, strong resolutions have been passed and forwarded to congress from an parts of the territory. I am safe in saying that at least ninety-five per cent
 of the peopl of Arizona are opposed to this bill, and this opposition seems to increase and intensity with time. This opposition is not confined to any 1 political party or business interest, but prevails in all walks of life.
 Here in Phoenix, out of population of 15,000, I know of only seven or eight persons who are favoring the passage of the bill.
 Knowing that your journal has all ways espoused the cause of justice and 1 fair play, I hope you will find space | in your columns for this letter. l Very respectfully,

 When the members of the court ap- peared they introduced a hit of sur . prise. They were clad in judicial robes of black silk. The bar had been given no intimation of this innovation, but the lawyers stood the test and their ground
 The court was in session only a snort time in the morning. Several unimportant motions were heard, and F. c. Little and J. R. E. Dunseath, both of Graham county, were admitted to practice. The court announced that the calendar would be called this morning.
 It is likely that the court, following its usual practice, will reserve the handing down of opinions until near the close of the session, which will probably be this time near the end of the week.

TROY . MANHATTAN
 INCREASES AREA
Talk of Building Line to the Phoe-
 nix and Eastern.

The Troy Manhattan Copper Mining company has bonded forty claims owned by J. B. Newman adjoining their Manhattan property and extend- ing to the Dripping Springs wash. The consideration named was $11O,0OO. On the Newman claim is an iron lead 300 feet wide which carries ? per cent in copper. $4 per ton in gold, and 65 per cent of hematite, says the Silver Belt.
 The Troy Manhattan company has developed it's properties eXtenslVely and large bodies of silicious ores have been blocked out. Among other devel- opments 500, ,000 tons of sulphide ore assaying per cent copper is now Tn sight at the Manhattan mine. The ore also runs hign in sulphur The ores or these properties provide material for a splendid converter proposition, the lacking element heretofore being the iron which the Newman claims will furnish for fluxing purposes. A large reduction works is planned by com pany and it is reported that the branch standard gauge railroad will be built either by the Santa Fe company CT the Troy Manhattan people, from june ton with Phoenix & Eastern up Dripping Springs wash to the Troy Manhattan company's mines
 It would be a comparatively easy matter to construct railroad from Dripping Springs to Globe and it is among the probabilities that the Santa Fe will elect to enter this district from that point. either up Mineral creek or around Pinal mountain from the southwest
