day he would have attained the ad-
vanced age of 85 years. His boyhood
and young manhood was spent on the
borders of the Western reserve. Born
of pioneer parentage he grew up to
love the freedom of the unsettled hills
and valleys, where the meadow
grasses waved untrammelled by the
advancing army of civilization.
He followed the course of the
empire in his early life, and after he
had yielded to his country's call and
carried the colors of freedom with
Zachary Taylor from st. Louis to the
City of Mexico, he joined the great
army of argonauts that traversed the
country in l849 to the golden state of
California.
Gold has ever been the great
magnet that changed the lives of men,
the great source of joys and sorrows.
1t has carried its fieeting shadow before
the eyes of men, and they have been
blinded to the comforts of home and
the joys of companionship; and yet to
US of the great West, this unsuitable
love of gold has been the spirit that
has made our country in brief half
century an empire in resources, wealth
and attainment. 1t broke down the
barriers of two thousand miles of
waste and desert land and made within
year a new state, new people and
new civilization.
Our departed friend was one of
that moving army of daring souls who
crossed the great plains to wrest from
out the willing breast of nature her
bountiful gifts. Born in restless
time of restless parentage, he was not
long satisfied in California, and in
1852 Joined the returning pioneer of
Oregon, who had also been called to
the new Eldorado, and settled in
Linn county, Oregon. In the same
year he was married to Mrs. Melcenia
Hamilton, mother of our townsman,
W. j. Hamilton. Of this union two
children survive, Mrs. Nettie Holt,
wife of j. B. Holt, of Pullman, and
Mrs. Mary LaFollette, wife of VIM.
LaFollette, of Wawawai. In 1872
Mr.. Tabor came to the then Territory
of Washington and settled on Union
Flat in the newly organized county
Of Whitman. His first residence being
what we now call the Hamilton
place-a landmark we'll known to all
pioneers. His wife died in March,
1901, anu Slnce IndI time ne mas maQe
his home with his children. He served
one term as county commissioner of
this county, and though often impor-
tuned by his fellow citizens, persisted
in his refusal to accept other public
office.
Bro. Tabor was a veteran of the
Mexican war, veteran of the Indian
wars in 1855 and 1856; he saw service
in the Rogue River war under Gen.
Lane, and in the Yakima campaign
under Gen. Nesmith. With the great

AMATEURS PLAY
DOUBLE HEADER
TWO FAST GAMES CONTESTED
AT CHUTES PARK
Tufts-Lyons Win First Game From
Hambureers and Drop Second
to Examiners-Lsrge Crowd
Present

Between four and five hundred spec
tators were present at Chutes park
yesterday afternoon to witness the dou-
ble-header Of the Southern California
Amateur Baseball league.
The first contest went to the Tufts
Lyon team, which hustled the Ham
burgers off the field to the score of 6-2.
The Examiners took the measure of
the Tufts-Lyon in the second game
by the margin Of Al.
The last game was a fast exhibition
from the time the first man went to
bat and the contest developed the fact
that the Examiner aggregation will
undoubtedly be a strong factor in de-
termining the outcome of the pennant
race. Manager Chavez has gathered
one of the speediest diamond aggrega-
tions in the south and with few more
games to place them at their best they
will prove a difficult proposition.
With total of thirteen hits the Ex-
aminers demonstrated the fact that
heavy hitting is one of their strong
assets and had it not been for fair
support Pitcher Ford of the Tufts
would have been smothered.
Second Baseman, Mcdonald of the
Tufts brought off the fielding feature of
the day when he stabbed Pedrotti's
nasty grounder back of second in the
fifth inning forcing Bresino at second.

Interesting Summer Racing Program
Is Arranged by Southern Assocla-

SAN DIEGO, June 3-Last evening a
fleet of eleven of the yachts of the San
Diego Yacht club left their moorings
near the club house for run to Coro-
nado islands and return. The craft in
the outing are The Butcher Boy, Flea
nor, Success, Seal, West Wind, Falcon,
Haidee, Pauline, Nackey, Estrella and
Junior. on board are about forty-five
members of the yacht club, either the
owners of the craft or guests.
Some of the yachts dropped down the
bay to wait for the coming of daylight
for the run across to Coronado islands,
while others will make run out into
the night. All are expected to reach
the islands in ample time for the race
home, which will be started from the
islands little after noon. This will be
the first outing of the San Diego Yacht
club this year.
The racing committee of the club has
arranged an interesting summer pro-
gram, which will occupy much of the
spare time of the yachtsmen. The first
races will be for the Williams cup, and
they will be sailed on June IL and "a,
and on July 1.
One Of the races will be from the
club house to the harbor entrance, to
and around the whistling buoy. The
second race will be over triangular
course inside the bay and the third
will be over a triangular course outside
the bay off Coronado beach. The cup
is trophy to be raced for annually
over the three different courses.
On July the Bell cup race for sea-
manship will be sailed on Glorietta bay.
July Is, % and 20 are set aside for
tryout races with the Upton cup de-
fender, now being built, and which will
be launched on July or thereabouts.
The only other schedule taken by the
club is August 10, when some of the
members will start on sailing cruise
to Catalina for an outing of a week.

where the Mischief 7 tl1rashed into the
seas and rocked herself to a standstill,
Mischief II In Lead
Mischief III rounded the end Of the
breakwater four minutes ahead of the
old Mischief and nearly ten minutes
ahead Of the Monsoon. Just as the
Monsoon rounded the breakwater the
bobstay on the Mischief III gave way
and it looked as though she were out
of the race. Luckily the bowsprit Is
a very short one and made of a piece
of oak specially selected by Joe Fell
lows for the purpose The bowsprit
creaked and bent, but held fast. The
iib was doused and the mainsail
Stacked, Ben Meyers took a watch
tackle and rigged IL from the end Of
the bowsprit to the bobring in the stem
piece and a makeshift bobstay held the
mast from springing too far back.
This took nearly ten minutes and the
Monsoon was almost up to her. Mis-
chief / was well to windward and ahead
and had she stood in near the break
water instead Of chasing out to sea she
would have won easily. Folsom and
his crew were not discourag ged, how
ever, and they sailed on again with the
mainsail Stacked and the jib fluttering.
Even then they outclassed the Mon
soon and the Mischief II lmped over
the line an easy winner by some six
minutes. Mischief 1 despite her skip
per's false move came i'm ahead of the
Monsoon about two lengths to the good
An unfortunate accident spoiled the
finish, as the stake boat capsized and
first boats to get In were unable to find
the finishing line. The Venus and
Osborn were the chief sufferers, as they
finished their short course before the
larger boats, and the judges boat not
being there, they rounded the whistling
buoy instead Of the absent stake boat.
The Venus made, the same mistake as
the Mischief I in keeping out to sea
and thus enabled the Osborn to beat
her over the actual finishing line, al
though the Venus caught her up be-
fore the whistling buoy was reached.
Bert Ashbrdge, who sailed the Os-
born, showed splendid seamanship.
He handled her in the windward work
so cleveriy that the Venus was unable
to outpoint her and gained very little
on the run out to the breakwater. The
Osborn is an old-tiner in the club,
having won the clubs first champion-
ship when owned by Captain Dodge,
the veteran yachting authority. Yes
terday the old boat showed up in fine
shape. Her mainsail set like a board
and Bert's crew handled her light sails
in q way that would put professionals
to shame.
