One of the best and most closely
contested base ball games played on
the local diamond this season was
seen on the field last Sunday. 1t re-
quired 10 innings to decide the con-
test between the 0. Il. & N. team OF
Portland, and the Hood River locals.
1t was evident after the first inning
had been played that the boys were
quite evenly matched; this fact al
ways makes game interesting.
The toss-up was won by the o. r. d
N team and they went to bat in their
white suits with the courage of a
spartan and the conceit OF a (?) Rus
sian. However, Hart twirled them q
bunch of snakey gated spheric-freaks
which only permitted Eddie Harri-
mans coal shovelels to scoop up two
goose eggs in the first two innings
and for fear that they might loose
courage the Apple city tossers gave
them one run for three consecutive
innings, but this was all until they
caught up with the wire tickers.
The strawberry decorated lads had
their bunting privileges five times be
fore they could jar loose from draw
ing goose eggs upon the black board
at the southwest corner of the field.
The fifth inning stod 3 to 2 in favor
of the visitors and 1t was then that
our lads got down to business and
served Mr.. Harriman's disciples with
5 fat goose eggs for their afternoon
refreshments. Hood River tied the
score in the 9th, and in the last hall
of the 10th Sheets scored the winning
run on safe hit by Hamilton.
The game was chuck-a- block with
errors which we're about equally di
yided between the two teams. 1t IL
probable that the high wind, which
prevailed during the game, was re-
sponsible for some Of them. 1t Is ~
ident, however, That a ten inning
game with a score Of t, 3 is wortl
seeing and must be demonstration o
good ball at critical times.
Ihe Hood River boys played thei
own game; there was not an imported
man wearing the green suit. All thi
makes the victory so much more sat
isatCtory.
Now you professional ball tosser
hold your breath minute while you
country cousin speaks. The cansensu
of opinion among those who patroniz
the gale is that if you expect to max
ball players out of the local boys 20
must play them In the game; not o

HAWAIIAN LASSIES
Will VISIT CITY
II YOUNG LADIES IN COMPANY
Miss Edythe TOZier Wetherred Will
ChaperOn Party-Devil's Punch
Bowl Objective Point.

Hood River viii be honoIed on oil
about the 18th OF September by Wis.
it of eight or ten of the fairest young
women of the Hawaiin Islands. The
party will probably leave the islands
for their coast tour the latter part of
August.
Edyth Tozier WetherTed, editor of
the Western Tours Magazine, of Berk.
ley, CAL, will leave San Francisco In
the early part of August and Will
chaperon the young ladies on their
western trip. Miss Wetherred has
chaperoned several parties on similar
occasions. She was the attendant of
the Oregon girls who visited the ISL
ands few years ago. Her presence
with the party will give it the great
est significance possible, as she is:well
known to the commercial bodies
throughout the western states.
Their visit to the coast cities has
only a friendly significance it is
rather a return call upon the Oregon
girls who recently visited the islands
Their expenses ale met by the Bulle-
tin, the leading paper in Honolulu
and the commercial bodies OF that
city.
1t is commonly supposed that the
native Hawaiians are all lot of saw
ages, and when the announcement
went forth to the press that these
young ladies we're to visit America
many of the exchanges treated the
subject from this standpoint. We de-
sire to say that the company of young
ladies who compose this party are a
bright, intelligent, well educated class
of girls. They are musicians of high
order, and when we see them it wild
undoubtedly be with great deal Of
surprise. They are the swellest dreJs-
ers in the world; they are proud, but
not naughty.
The trip to Hood River Is a side
trip. Miss Wetherred has concluded
that failure to view the grand seen
cry along the Columbia, and to see
the famous Hood River valley would
be to miss one of tthe best features of
the entire itinerry. The party will
take .the steamer Spencer from Port
land on the morning of the 10Th, and
reach Hood River in the afternoon.
1t has been planned to take trip
over the Mt. Hood raili DAD to Dee
and from there make a visit to the
"Devil's Punch Bowl" The company
will return in the evening and spend
the night in Hood River, returning
to Portland the following morning.
Hood River will prepare to enter.
tain them in most royal manner.
Some of our early juicy apples will b
Ilripe by that date and we are conf
dent that alter they have permitted
this lucious fruit to once take effec
upon their glossopharynleal nerves
that they will at once desire to pur
chase few acres of this famous appl,
soil, aud make their future home nea

Osborne Was Stakeholder.

A report from Butte brings to light
the fact that lamp Osborne, the In
disn's erratio pitcher, did other
things besides play base ball while in
the Montana city. Osborne got into
trouble with the authorities through
acting rs stakeholder in a bet on one
of the games In the series. A paint
er by the name OF DIebo bet S25 on
Butte aud this money with like sum
was deposited with Osborne as stake
holder. When Butte won the game,
it is alleged, Osborne failed to deliv-
er the $50 and made various excuses
as to the disposition of the money.
Debro feared that Osborne would
leave Butte with the money and &c
brought a charge OF petit larcency
against Osborne.
A constable served the papers on
Osobrne who was informed that ht
could get out of the trouble ty sett
ling the demand 30 the $50 was forth
coming in addition to charge OF s.
for constable costs. The proceeding
was then dismissed and Osborne wal
allowed to proceed with his team. -

John Wilson PrOperty Sold.

John Wilson has sold his so acre

about 50 acres of this tract under cul-

EXPANSION Becomes Necessary

1t is very probable that Hood River
holds the record for the installation
of new safes, upon the part of the
business men of the city, for city OF
this size. There has scarcely been a
week that we have not given an ac
count of some business man expand
ing in this fire and burglar proof COM
modify. The Stewart Hardware 81
Furniture Co. are next on the list to
flaunt their challenge to the fire fiend
and knight of the nitro glycerene
pump. They have just installed one
of the largest and finest private safes
in the city. 1t is one of the McNeal
s. Urban fire, water and burglar proof
safes and is surely dandy. The i'm
mense business conducted after bank
ing hours by this firm has made this
added Improvement necessary.

when he will frequently knock that
