STRIKING TELEGRAPHERS
TO MEET ON BALL FIELD
jim JEFFRlES WILL ACT AS THE
ARBITER
Kew Men Promise to Line UP on the
chutes Diamond on Friday and
Show the Public How Good
They Really Feel

Just because they happen to be out OF
a Job temporarily is no reason why the
telegraphers who are not in the employ
of the Postal and Western Union tele-
graph companies should feel gloomy and
lust to show the public how easy their
minds rest they have entered into a con-
tract to play a game of ball.
The strikers are still divided in their
LOYALTY, and will form into two sides.
One team the Postals will fight just as
hard on the diamond as they did at the
key. and they will try their best to van
ouish their oId-time rivals, the Western
Unions.
All this will take place Friday after
noon at Chutes Park. A small admission
fee will be charged, but to make up for
this the teams have arranged with the
Chutes management to admit all spec
tators to the inclosure, where the real
attractions are, free of charge.
And then Jim Jeffries will be there with
bells. The cafe magnate has agreed to
arbitrate all disputes between the mem
bers of the two teams and unless Colonel
Clowry shows up he will be able to deal
out satisfaction on all sides. Following
is the way the teams will line up:

WILLIAMS TO HOLD
LEADERSHIP IN HOUSE
WILL RETAIN PLACE UNTIL HE
GOES TO SENATE
Aspirations Of Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, and other Prominent
Democrats Must Be
Laid Away
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Aug 1S.-The aspira-
tions of Missouri Democrats in the lower
house of congress to be minority leader
will have to be put away for while, 1t
seems.
John Sharp Williams, whose election
to the United tSates senate from Missis-
sippi has been certified, wants to hold the
minority position for another two years,
as he will not go into the senate until
1911. Close friends of Champ Clark of
Missouri had been fearful lest the Mis-
sissippi statesman, who has just defeated
Gov. Vardaman would develop symptoms
of locomotor ataxia when it came to re-
peating the ,side-stepping performance so
gracefully executed by Clark last spring,
when Clark's friends were booming him
for Williams place at the head of the
Democratic cohorts in the lower house.
Champ Clark for minority leader?
Why, sure Oh, no, not in the next
congress, but when John Sharp leaves
the house"
This was the reply of a man prominent
in the Democratic councils, when asked
what he thought of the Missiourian's
chances to head the party on the floor
and shape its course in debates and par
liamentary tactics.
''Why, John Sharp Williams has the
pledges, in black and white, of 100 out of
1853 Democratic members in the next Con-
gress to vote for his denomination for
speaker, which means the floor leader
ship of his party. He had them before
the Fifty-ninth congress adjourned. and
left here with them in his inside pocket
last March. Nothing can defeat Clark
two years from now. though, if he is re-
turned to congressman, by the way,
that is liable to be a Democratic house."
1t is hardly necessary to add that this
is the comment of Charles A. Edwards,
secretary of the Democratic congressional
campaign committee. 1t is the same
Charlie Edwards who smoked out Col.
Henry Watterson to the extent of re-
vealing the latters dark horse" candi-
date for the Democratic nomination,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The prompt

Gently threatened the Santa Barbara
national forest reserve, in California,

Forty citizens of the town of Nordhoff

along the tops of ridges and the brush
was cleared, making lane through the
chaparral and backfirlng did the rest
A small force remained on the ridges
until the following day to put out small
fires from scattered sparks and burning
logs So we'll were the plans laid and
executed that the fire reached only a
very small area of the Santa Barbara for
est, and though great damage was at one
time imminent the result showed very
small loss.

CONNECTICUT MILLPoND

WATERBURY. Conn, Aug. R.-The
millpond of Leonard P. Hayden, in
southington, performed feats yesterday
that are fashionable in the South Allan
tic. and so terrified Hayden and his as
sistant, Otto Wheeler. that they drove
in a hurry to Bristol to consult the au-
thorities.
Whilee the millers were eating their
lunch they heard a rumbling from the
hilaerto we'll behaved millpond. The
noise resembled the charge of troop
of cavalry Both men sprang to their
feet, and beheld several waterspouts,
apparently, which sent the water into
the air in great columns. They say
the spouts rose from the edge of the
dam for a distance of at least twenty
five feet, and then the water dropped
back to its place.
The disturbance kept up for several
minutes. Several columns of water
danced about the pond, while the men
stood speechless, ready for any SUPER
natural happening. There was not much
wind at the time and Hayden and Wheel
er haven't the slightest notion Of what
caused the spectacle.

TREES AND BUSHES FIGHT
FOR LIFE AS DO ANIMALS
BATTLE IN TAHOE FOREST is
FURIOUS
Gradually, Season by Season, the Pines
Are Becoming Victorious--chap-
parraI Holds Ground
Tenaciously

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Trees OF a
forest often struggle for mastery mucn
the same as animals fight for food ana
shelter, says the United States forest
service. A continual struggle for supren-
acy begins wherever the forest comes 10
an end and gives place to anotner KIM
of growth.
A fight is now in progress between the
forest and the chaparral growth adjoining
the Tahoe national forest in California.
Like conditions prevail in many other Tor
ests of the country. There the forest Is
doing it's best to push out and cover new
areas, while the adjoining grass land. bush
land or chaparral, or whatever the growth
may be, is striving equally hard to resist
the encroachment of the forest
AS a rule the struggle is an even one
and not much change in conditions is no
ticed from one year to another. But In
this particular case in the Tahoe forest
the trees have been gaining decided au-
vantage in the last few years.
The soil here is dry one, composed OF
disintegrated volcanic rock, and is not OF
the best quality for tree growth. Con-
seouently chaparral and sage brush first
took possession of the land, while the 1or-
ests occupied the moister, more fertile soil.
But as the forests have become more
firmly established they have gradually ex-
tended themselves, and now the western
yellow pine is rapidly usurping the chap
arral land The yellow pine cones roll
down the slopes and scatter their seeds
far and wide. and whole hillsides are now
being covered with young growth, where
twenty or thirty years ago there was
none.
This temporary advantage which has
been gained by the pine is not necessarily
a permanent one, however. Fire or the
severe logging would again give the
bushes a chance, and the whole struggle
would begin anew. But if present .condi-
tions are not disturbed, it looks as If the
pine were the victor and would soon have
the chaparral completely subjugated.

Casa Blanca Is In Ruins, and the Situ-

BY Associated Press.
TANGIER, Aug. 13.-Following the
fierce battle of yesterday, when frenzied
Moors charged\by the thousands to the
very muzzles of the French cannon at
Casa Balnca. comes the news that the
situation in other cities is little less
threatening.
The city of Casa Blanca is in ruins and
is now practically a military headquar-
ters. Among those who lost all their
property are many former citizens of
America. Foreigners are fleeing fSom
this section in large numbers.
Additional troops arrived at Casa
Blanca to-day.
Three hundred Spanish troops sailed
from Cadiz for Casa Blanca and the
Spanish cruiser Rio de la Plata has
reached there.
The attack yesterday was participated
in by about 1000 fanatical Moors and they
displayed reckless courage. Repeatedly
they charged the French troops, btu as
often were driven back. Their losses
were heavy. Fire from the French war;
ships anchored in the harbor was terribly
effective.
The French losses were slight.
Siboubebeker, governor of Casa Blanca,
has been dismissed for abetting the
massacre of Europeans. He is now a
prisoner aboard a French cruiser.

PORTLAND, Oregon, Aug. H-"What

Wilson, secretary of agriculture, of a
Portland banker. He received as reply;
.Sixty-two million bushels, and that

There are peculiar things about the
growing and handling of wheat in the In
land Empire, which includes part OF
Oregon, Washington and Idaho, or at
least they strike the Kansas or Dakota
wheat grower as just little queer. The
newcomer from those great districts
doesn't like to handle his wheat in sacks.
II strikes him as both expensive and
unnecessary but 1t seems that the habit
is fixed on the wheat growers of the
Pacific coast, and the sack came as the
result of necessity. For years the greater
portion of the wheat was exported to
countries where 1t was necessary to cross
the equator twice, and if it had gone in
bulk it would have spoiled, but the wheat
