The House held long and exciting
session today. lasting from 10 a. m.
to . 30 n. m, when = recess was taken
TO y. m. Only two bills of any inn
portsnce were considered both Sem
ate bills and both were passed from
the second to the third reading file.
The bill which aroused the most dis
cussior aud which took up a good
part of the session was Senator Lee 5
bill providing for a graded system of
taxing department stores. The oppo-
sition to the measure came entirely
from the Baltimore city delegates,
aud the debate was the warmest and
most bitter of the entire session All
sorts of dilatory motions were made
aud vcted down and finally the meas
ure was passed TO the third reading
file.
The compromise oyster bill was Ieal
a seound time, all amendments voted
down and finally passed TO the third
reading file. The Anne Arundel dele
gates are opposed to the measure and
Mr.. Murdook took q prominent part
in the debates over it when the amend
ments were offered. The present indi-
cations are. however, that it will be
passed before the final adjournment On
Monday night, as there is very
strong lobby working u its favor
Among the local bills passed by both
houses last night was Senator Gadd S
bill to bond the county for $3.50, 900
and the bill to build q new bridge
over Spa creek between Annapolis
aud Eastport. Both bills are now
waiting the signature of the Governor

On Wednesday iast the two local
mines met aud fought 10 draw, the
gamo being stopped at the end of
eleven innings on account Of darkness.
1t was universally conceded that the
game was one Of the best in the his.
tory of local sport Today the oppo-
nents of both the st. Johns lads and
the midshipmen will be Pennsylvania
State College, which puts one of the
best college mines on the field. st.
Johns was to play yesterday, but
rain interfeled. The season. therefore.
is fairly launched. Notwithstanding il
is still March and very much March
at that.

OF the individual players much can
be said that is very oreditable Pitch
ing honors must be awarded to Need,
ham, who succeeded Lanphire in the
first inning and blsnked st. Johns for
over ten innings. Reynolds. who
succeeded Wrightson on the slab for
st. Johns, pitched five innings and
allowed no runs. His special feats
were the striking out of the side in
the seventh inning and pulling out of
one of the Eghtest holes possible in
the tenth. with two oEt, there were
three men on the bases and three
balls and no strikes on Cohen, yet
REYNOLDS succeeded in striking the
batsman out. The feat was undoubt.
edly remarkable. Wrightson alst
pitched creditable game, two runs
being scored by the midshipmen il
six innings.

The game speaks for itself. The
two local teams are very well balanced
and at present there can be no ques-
tion but that the midshipmen are
hitting the ball better than the col
leigans. while il is equally clear in
the mind of the writer that the latter
have the fastest and altogether the
better infield. The showing of St
Johns on Wednesday last was no ac-
cident, and there is every reason for
the confidence that in the later games
just as good or better showing will
be made. 1t is reported that some of
the new men on the college team are
ordinarily just as good men with the
stick as in the field and if this is SO
there is no reason for believing that
st. johns needs to ask any odds from
any college teams in this section
One very oreditable thing about the
team was noticeable and that was
that they did not go down to the
Academy grounds already beaten as
many of their predecessors have. They
thought they could win and certainly
nothing has happened to lessen their
confidence.

BY far the most notable athletic
event of the week was, of course the
splendid game which the St Johns
collegians and the midshipmen put up
on Wednesday. The game played by
each nine gives abundant assurance
of splendid sport during the season
and justifies the forethought of the
managers of both teams in providing
a series of three games during the
season which are sure to afford the
finest kind of practice for the mines
against their other opponents. The
midshipmen are now anxious TO win
the remaining games with st. JChn's
to degree only equal to their wish
to defeat ST. Johns. This close game
so early in the season is sure to do
the nine great good because it enfoTces
as nothing else could that there are
other ball players and that it Will not
do TO rest quietly III the assurance
of the teams strength. Indeed the
fact that the Navy begins the season
with a veteran team to a large extent
has its weaknesses as well as its
strength and such a snag as the St.
Johns game early in the season is the
best thing that could happen.

becauze the university students can

oREGON's PRUNE CENTER.
Salem Ships 2O,OOO,OOO Pounds of the
Fruit Annually.

The Salem Journal says of the inn
mense prune industry of that section
of the state:
Salem is the center of an immense
prune industry, which in the dried
state reaches now about 10000, 900
pounds, and increases each year.
Prune orchards become more valu-
able each year where property cared
for and the best orchards are worth
from 500 to $500 per acre.
The crop this year is very large
so large in western Oregon that many
will be lost for want OF labor to har-
vest the fruit and dry 1t.
The driers are running day and
night, men getting from 50 to $3.50
per day. Pickers are making $3.50 to
50 per day.
The price Is down some owing to
large crop and the fruit running
lighter than former years. The mar
ket now is 3 to 3ls cents for best.
Most of the prunes were contracted
on a Accent basis. The indications
are that there will not be enough sos
and 40s to meet the demand.
Like the hop industry, the prune
industry is establish beyond the ex-
perimental stage in western oregon.
Prunes are about as staple a crop as
wheat but far more profitable.
