STATE
LAND
AGENT
Recommends Leasing of Graz
ing Lands

Among the recommendation made
by State Land Agent West, in his BIZ
ennial report to the governor, is that.
since the state has about 5000
acres of school land in Eastern Ore
gon which is unfit for anything ex-
cept grazing, the state advertise the
lands for lease in the same manner
the federal government leases it's
grazing lands. He says that they
should be leased. subject to sale,
and, in the event of an opportunity
to sell, the unearned portion of the
rental paid should be returned.
He also recommends that the rec
ords of the office should be gone over
thoroughly from the date of its crea-
tion, In order to clear up bad titles,
so the present occupants of the land
will not be In constant fear of expul-
sion, and indemnity lands errone-
ously patented to the state may be
validated by substituting new base.
He says there are about 1000 acres
of lands which have been turned
down by the government. on account
of invalid base, upon which the state
will have to reimburse innocent pur-
chasers to the amount of about $780,
900. Through the creation of sever
al new forest reserves the state has
acquired about 10000 acres of valid
base, the price upon which the board
has fixed at $3.50 per acre until
further notice. which would be ready
saleable, but he has not the time to
attend to indemnity selections prop
erly. and asks for additional clerical
assistance in order that he may get
out and dispose of these lands for the
benefit of the school fund.

The committee room was crowded
with interested spectators, composed
of both private citizens and interest
ed legislators, and the Oregon 4

Association, representing 1877 mills,
with a combined annual output of 1,
900, 900, 900 feet, at SIT per thou

900 worth of lumber in orders not
moved on account of car shortage,
and S2,700.00O of lumber value on
the docks of the lumbermen. which,
with interest at the rate of per
cent amounted to loss of $162, 900

When reference was made to the
Washington commission Mr.. Cotton
facetiously remarked that one of the
members of the committee received
lower rate than the rest. and he
resigned. and tn egovernor was un.
able to find another to replace him,
and when asked how he happened to
get lower rate, he laughingly re.
marked that the Northern Pacific
gave II to him. "and the Northern
Pacific Is crooked"
The hearing lasted until nearl,
midnight, and held the interest o
the spectators to a finish.

BASES ON BALLS
PROVE COSTLY

More games are lost through bases on
balls than are won by timely hitting
That is the declaration Of student Of
the National game whose knowledge is
practical. for the man is leader Of one
Of the sixteen big teams. and gained an
onvlable reputation as player before he
advanced to his managerial job.
Command Is twirler's stock in
trade" says this expert, "and bases on
balls cause more disaster to teams than
most people credit. II the gift-giver be
a star twirler, with a team Of colts be-
hind him, who go into the game with
the idea that they can win only by the
gil-edged work Of the man on the rub
Der, the Issuance Of a couple Of passes is
more than likely to unsettle the kids, and
they will go on bailooning expeditions
Take q team that is not hitting, and, by
hook or crook weak batter gets TO first
on four wide ones. See how his mates
ginger up and so after the unhittable one.
In close games a base on balls Is sure
to turn the tide, and IL you look over
tho TO battles that have been played
this season you viii see that am right.
/ have kept my optics on eight engage
ments marked by this score in 1907 run
of IN the National league up to a week
ago, and II / am not mistaken the lone
tally in five of them was started through
a gift"
A pitcher very seldom purposely gives
a batter his base on balls. Il is an erron-
eous idea, often heard expressed in the
grandstand, that when heavy batter
gets walk to first IL Is because the
pitcher IS afraid Of him. Tho sluggers
walk more than weak batters. as a rule,
because the pitcher, in trying 20 give them
hard balls TO hit often fails to get the
bali over the plate.
II is very rare that pitcher will pur-
posely give a batter his base. when hit
is needed They will always take chance
when il must be a hit. You must romem-
bcr that the best OF batters don't average
more than one hit out Of three times up.
The pitcher always has the percentage in
his favor
The time when pitchers do purposely
give heavy batters "a base on balls Is
when runner Is on third and long
fly would tie the score. Then It Is not
done unless a very weak man Is TO fol-

USED Ills FIST
Hit Alexander OwOSki Be-
cause he Was Guying
Him About Game

Chick Hartley, center fielder for the
Lancaster club and who formerly played
with the Wilmington A. A.. was the prln-
clpal in a disgmcefu scene just outside
OF South Side Park after the ball game
yesterday afternoon
The Red Roses were seated in "a bus pre-
paratory TO going TO the Clayton House
when a crowd Of half-grown youths gath
cred about the vehicle and began guying
the defeated ball players. Hartley, evi-
IDENTIFY being the sorest Of the club took
this line Of talk most 20 heart declaring
that it was directed at him personally.
He jumped from the wagon and proceeded
to land a hard one on Alexander Owoskl's
right jaw. Hartley then resumed his seat
I'm the bus but was out again in a mo-
mont as OwosSi made movement as IL
TO pick some object up from the street.
lie was restrained from striking another
blow by his companions and the players
were driven Off followed by a large crowd
OF local rooters.
Owosli went 70 the office of Magistrate
Robertson and swore out a warrant for
Hartley's arrest, charging him with as
sault and battery. Constable Bowers was
given the warrant TO serve and proceeded
with It to the Clayton House where the
team was stopping. Chick evidently got
wind Of the affair and "ducked' through
the rear bar Of the hotel TO King street
and In a hurried manner made his way to
the p, ,. & W. station and boarded a
train for Trenton before his companions
had left the hotel. The warrant Is "on
ice,' however and Chick win be hauled
up when he next lands in town.

singles 'Pete" Cassidy maintained his
reputation as the beet first bascman in

probably prevented the Roses from ad-
ding a run or two to their score. In the
sixth the score was tied. to 4, and 1t
was not until two men were down in the
last half Of the ninth that the winning
run was made by the locals. Mcfarland
plantcd a drive just far enough inside tho
third base line 20 make it safe hit on
which Lynch, who had walked, crossed
nhe plate Foster. Lancaster's left fielder
attempted to put up a blum that the ball
was foul by stopping In his run after the
snhere. Umpire Moran failed 10 see IL IN
that light, however. and the game was
over. Mike Grady played at third for the
locals and had two errors marked up
against him. Grady IS not a third base
man and the errors he made we're ex-
cusahle.
Wilmington made one OF their runs In
the FIRST inning when Mcfarland drew
pass and Ramsey also walked. Cassidy
sacrificed both men, and Grady sent
long fly to Hartley in center which he
caught. but Mcfarland came home on the
throw in Another score was Tailed IN
