BRIDGEPORT BEATS
PAN|U,KEI ID 10 :

Bridgeport. Conn, Nov. 26.-The skillful
passing OF Dickie Pierce and George
Cunningham proved OF no avail against
the superb floor work and great driving
OF the Dumplings. last night, and Bridge
port smothered the Pawtucket bunch by
the score OF 10 10 2. II was a splendid
game In the first two periods, but in
the last period the locals played rings
around tho visitors and showed the mann
moth crowd how the game Of polo should
be served TO suit the East.
Tommy Murray. the new rush, made
his debut and covered himself with glory.
Murphy is no spring chicken. His hair
is gray. but there is a lot Of gray matter
inside his head. He is a veteran who
uses his head at all times. Is clever at
handling the ball and is an accurate driv-
or. Although he and Jason had not played
together before, they showed some won
derful passing. and brought the crowd
out OF the seats by their exhibition in
the last period, when they took the ball
on several occasions right down the floor
and completely fooled Heffernan, who
was guarding the Pawtucket cage.

REAL ESTATE AS
AN INVESTMENT

Oakland Beach real estate is the safest
| and fastest money-making investment al
the present day.
Mr.. Bennett at Oakland Beach can
show you over 20 cottages that are bring
ing their owners 90 per cent on their IN
vestment The owner OF one cottage now
in process OF erection tells the writer
that he has had 16 applications to rent
Il the coming season. Ten days ago he
came here with the idea OF building one
cottage for his own use, now he is TO
build three.
What makes Oakland Beach real estate
valuable: First-Transportation 10 and
from Providence; electrics every 20 min
utes during the summer; half-hourly in
winter. Seeend=The finest bathing beach
on Narragansett Bay. Third--Land all
high and dry: no malaria.
When you put your money in Oakland
Beach lots it's safe. IL can't run away.
1t can't be lost 1t can't be destroyed
Don't put your money I'm mining or oil
stocks that God only knows the value of,
but invest IL i'm real estate where there
is n steady increase in value.
William Jennings Bryan says: "Rea!
est. .te is the best investment for small
savings More money is made from the
rise I'm real estate values than all other
causes combined. To speculate i'm stocks
is risky. and even dangerous, but when
YOU buy real estate you are buying an in
heritance."
Andrew Carnegie says: "The wise
young man or wage Garner OF today in
vests his money I'm real estate"
President Roosevelt says: Every per-
son who invests i'm well-selected real es-
tate in a growing section OF a prosperous
community adopts the surest and safest
method of becoming independent. for real
estate is the basis OF all wealth"
Oakland Beach lots are large. none
smaller than 40XS0, and they are sold for
cash or on small monthly payments-Sl0
Will start you as a property owner. No
taxes until final payment Is made; no in
terest for the first year and i'm case Of
sickness we will carry your payments
along.
Mr. Bennett. the local representative Is
on the grounds every day i'm the year. Go
out and talk Il over with him. 1t does
not need a brass band, or the gift OF
pianos. automobiles and diamonds TO sell
lots at Oakland Beach-the lots sell
themselves. It will be the safest, surest
investment you ever made.

GRAYS AGAIN BITE
THE DUST, 3 70 5
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

The Providence team put up a great
battle with Hartford I'm Infantry hall last
night. and, though defeated by an 8 TO 8
score, the Grays, still crippled by the alb
sence of O'Brien, kept Bob Harts aggre-
cation working hard I'm all three periods.
The way the Grays played the game
last night, in spite of their handicap. was
a treat to see. II was a far different af-
fair from that Saturday night with Paw
tucket when the home team players SEEM
ed jaded. Both McGilvray and Curtis,
who have been doing yeoman work. play
ed faster than I'm several games. Tibbetts
also showed an Improvement In his work
as goal tender. making 81 stops. which is
a record for his playing thus far this sea-
son.
The Hartford team are good skaters,
stand second in the league and are play
ing great polo. To hold them to the score
they did last night the Grays were COM
PEELED to keep going all the while, and as
result there was never any stalling
or standing about OF players waiting for
passes. Everybody on the rink surface.
including goal tenders and the referee,
had TO hustle.
McGilvray made a splendid centre and
stopped IAncoln and Hart as a regular
thing, showing more class in the finer
points OF the game Curtis played brill
liantly throughout the game. and his driv-
Ing from passes was beyond criticism.
Sutherland made some very lucky stops
of many shots by Curtis, which looked to
be sure goals.
The weak spot on the team was the
substitute. Turner, who played rush with
Curtis. and failed 10 get much steam into
his handling of passes. In fact, he fell
down on several passes, which a faster
rush would have easily switched for good
shots at the cage
Providence put up a surprisingly good
defence last night and the secret of It was
McGilvrays persistent covering OF the
Hartford rushes. Breaking up passes and
anticipating plays brought out his versa
tillty. Crippled in the rushing. Provi-
dence managed TO play the ball intelli-
gently when It was I'm their possession,
and practically all OF their scoring was
due 10 fast passing.
Lincoln OF the Hartford team is VAL
ley Falls boy and his polo is worthy that
Of a Rhode Islander. With Hart. he
played a splendid rushing game. and this
pair is as good as anything yet seen I'm
the league, with the possible exception
OF New Britains crack skaters.
II was In the second period that Hart
ford got its lead. caging three goals. and
the Grays failing TO get one past Suther-
lant The opening period resulted in a
BE- score I'm the visitors favor. and the
closing period was the Grays', they re-
vers!ng the count secured against them
In the first period.
OBriens injured hand is mending rap
idly, and he will be in the game Thursday
night. The weak place at centre since
the retirement Of this player has had
much TO do with the III luck OF the home
team for the past week.

DEEDS ARE FILED
FOR RIGHT OF WAY
OPEN RIVER TRANSPORTA-
TION LINE STILL MOVES
Three Right OF Way Deeds Filed by
T.. W. McComas for the Projected
Line i'm the North Part of the
County-Line VIII Touch Umatilla
Irrigation Project and Will Also
Tap Wheat Belt at HOldman.

The alleged financial stringency
will have but little effect upon devel-
opments in Umatilla county, accord
ing to all indications now. The work
of securing the right of way for the
Open River Transportation company S
line from Simmons landing to Hold
man is still in progress, and this
week three deeds for the right of
way have been filed.
The deeds filed this week were
given to f. w. McComas who is in
charge of the projected line, by
Thomas Kerr, John T. Thorne and
Sarah Irwin, making a total of over
90 deeds now on file for this right
of way.
Aside from securing the right of
way for the projected line, however,
little is being done. 1t was the in
tention of the company to begin the
construction of the line early in the
spring, but it is thought that the fl
nancial furry in the east may cause
some delay to the work of construc-
ton.
As increased boat facilities will be
enjoyed on the Columbia river here
after, the line as projected from the
heart OF the wheat belt near Hold
man would be of incalculable value
in handling the wheat crop OF the
county and the farmers in that entire
section are anxious for work to be-
gin.
The work of securing the right of
way will be pushed as vigorously as
possible and 1t is hoped that work on
the first section OF the line next to
the Columbia river may be started
some time next year.
The line touches the Umatilla irri-
cation project near the reservoir and
much OF that rich section would be
tributary to 1t as well as a large
portion OF the northern part of Una
tilla county's wheat belt.

Boise, Dec. 27.-C2srenee Darrow
will leave Boise tOnigh for Los An

told operation upon which his life
depends.
Late last night, following a pro-

nounced that unless the operation

be seriously endangered.
Darrow. much against his wishes,
gave up his long bartle against dis
ease and consented To leave.

hands Of Edgar Wilson from now on.
Wilson was sick today, however, and
John f. Nugent handled the case,
opening the defense with reading the
depositions on the Bradley explosion
in San Francisco which the defense
claim were caused by Illuminating

In a short statement Darrow said
that he believed that Pettibone would
be easily acquitted. The trial will

Walla Walla, Dec 27.-As evidence
of the fact that the La Toilette boom

ber CT friends and supporters IN wall
la WaIla, many of tie business men
OF the city are today wearing little

upon which t-e the words, La Fol-

Since the forcihle and startling ad-
dress of Senator La Toilette in Wall
la Walla last Slaring, there are many
res. dents of this city who are now
warm friends OF the aspirant for the
presidency, and, although the move
ment is comparatively quiet, 1t bears
the evidence of being deep-rooted,
and it is more than likely that a
large delegation of Walla Wdlla citi-
zens will have their interests conferred
in La Toilette, in the coming race for
the republican nomination.
In view Of the fact that La Toilette
was 30 free with his condemnation
for the unlawful, yet powerful core
poratons, and that he was equally
free with the names of the members
of the United States congress, who,
through mercenary influence, worked
in the interest OF these unlawful cor
porations, his address in WaIla Wal
la went to the hearts of all true gov
ernment-loving citizens
Rumor today is to the effect that
"La Toilette Club" will be organ
'zed in Walla Walla in the near fu-
rur", and that a systematic campaign
will soon be naugurated to secure
for Ia Toilette the republican nomi-
nation for president of the United
States.

Men Obtained.

A repetition of the Christmas eve
holdup of the store of A. B. Stephens
at Umatilla, occurred at Echo last
evening, when Mr.. and Mrs. E. E.
Ripper of Echo were held up in their
store at o'clock by two masked
men and the till containing SIS was
carried away.
The holdup Of the Ripper store
following so closely upon the UNA
tllla holdup and being accompanied
with the same general characteristics,
causes the officials to believe that
perhaps the same men committed
both crimes.
While the town of Echo was at its
supper, just about 6 o'clock last
evening, two men entered the front
door Of the Ripper store and covering
Mr.. and Mrs. Ripper with revolvers,
commanded them to stand still,
while one of the robbers ran to the
cash drawer and took away the draw
er, cash and all, the cash amounting
to about S75.
Clara Ripper, their 14-year-old
daughter, who was in an adjoining
room, rushed out to notify the city
marshal of the holdup. and seeing
Cloyd Oliver near called to him. AS
the robbers left the store Oliver was
approaching the front door and was
immediately fired at by one of the
robbers, the bullet missing him,
went crashing through the window
OF the Bank of Echo on the opposite
side Of the street.
After firing at oliver the robbers
ran west on the q. r. & n. tracks
but were soon lost sight of in the
darkness. This morning the cash
drawer was found near the Henrietta
flour mill, few hundred yards west
of town. No trace whatever has been
found of either of the robbers.
Thought II Was Joke.
When the robbers entered the store
wearing no masks and commanded
the Rippers to put up their hands
MI. Ripper declares that he thought
i was a joke being perpetrated by
some half drunken man and he al
once began to abuse the robber for
his conduct, but upon being con-
fronted with big sixshooter point
ed at his head, with another pointed
at his wife, who stood near by. he
realized the seriousness of the sit
uation and both obeyed the command
to stand still while the till was taken
from the counter.
one of the robbers is described as
being tall and dark. wearing what
both Mr. and Mrs Ripper believe to
be a false beard and the other was
short and light and wore a slouch
nat, without beard.
