by wholesale houses, to be sent hence to
those houses in Portland. Then 1t wants
to have the state cut up into about six or
seven districts for the sake of expe-

ary man coming into country store IN
the Rogue piver valley, in village of
about 600 people,

Storekeepor-You want which?
He-Essence Of eucalyptus-great thing

He-Made in Los Angeles. of course.

Storekeeper-No. I've seen em in Port

In that wa- there are scores of articles
manufactured here that would find
ready sale in the interior towns of Oregon
if people would only take hold Of things
and push them to conclusion. Just now
the balance of trade is against us, be-
ber and breadstuffs from Oregon than
the value of the crude petroleum that
we sell them; and the imports of oil into
Portland have increased 91A per cent In
the past two months, owing to the fact
that it is superseding wood and coal at
all points where water power Is not avail
able. But with anything like push and
determination on the part of Los Angeles
merchants l-4e balance of trade could soon
be turned in our favor.
AS 1 stated in former article on sub
jects of this nature, there is not the
slightest chance for rivalry between the
cities of Los Angeles and Portland. They
are over 1000 miles apart, and separated
by six weeks of dissim4lar climate, which
leads up to a constant interchange OF
products. Therefore, instead of beget-
ting antagonism between the cities, these
conditions 'eed up a community of in
terest that is eminently worthy of pres

BUTLER TO BUY CLASSY
BUNCH FOR EMPIRE TRACK

NEW YORK. Dec. 7.-Following the an
nouncement that the court of appeals had
decided in favor Of the Empire City track
at Yonkers, came news today that James
Butler. the owner of the Westchester
plant, would purchase some high class
runners next spring and turn them over to
a competent transfer. IL also was stated
that Mr.. Butler in the course of time
would go into the breeding industry on q
large scale.
The court of appeals decision came in
the nature of surprise to many mem
bers of the Jockey club, who had been
led to believe the state racing commission
in its opposition to the Yonlxers track
would be sustained. But with the matter
definitely settled the opinion was general
today that the Yonkers track would now
be taken into the Jockey clubs fold with
out further friction. Not only a license
will be granted next year but regular
dates will be allotted.

wife.
AS matter of convenience, he says.
the deed to the property was made in
his wife's name. He asks the court to de-
clare him the owner of the property in

Indicator Handler Says League Hen

and Beans Away from
Him

James Toman, adjudicator of erroneous
curves, who has ruled the decision dy-
nasty of Hen Berry's little kingdom
since the exit of the belligerent Qugg
more than a month ago, is loud in his
declarations that the life of a baseball
umpire is not one long. peaceful bask in
the radiance of worshipful fans.
Wirra, wirra. wirra. as Red Perkins
would say, he rather maintains that If
his place at tns dining hall of fame is to
be steadily kept set for him-thats
classical name for meal ticket-somebody
must proffor the necessary legal tender
for the same, all of which is coming or
supposed to be coming to him. After
dramatically uttering we rout'' and
"s-t-r-i-k-e," and tweedling with the in
dicator during the latter part of the sea-
son at the Chutes Jeems claims that by
right of services rendered there should
be a paltry sum of $3.50 headed his way
bearing his cognomen on its bill of
lading.
Through some oversight or something
like that on the part of the league di-
rectors, James can not herald the arrival
of the lucr.., nor is there much promise
of the bundle of scrip making an early
appearance. His Obesity mourns this
reluctance On the part of the officials,
and has repeatedly made the remark in
tho presence of the authorities that his
happiness would be increased one small
mite if they would come across with the
delayed ealary.
The league directors, however, cannot
hear the murmur. or at least have not
given any evidence of its reaching their
ears. and Jimmy has ceased audible pro-
tests, but swears that as soon as Heney
gets done with his legal business in the
north he will be bfought to the Chutes
to stir the baseball Doodle pot.

This order was entered by Judge
Walter Evans yesterday.
The petition filed by Trustee Boyd
grew out of scene that occurred
during the sale of the Rehkopf home
stead March 5, at the court house.
In that sale Colonel Singleton is re-
ported to have said that he would
give MIR. Bradshaw $1OO' as part Of
the profits he expected to make out
of the sale of the homestead If he
would quit bidding on the property.
He made this statements because
he was aroused by what he consider
ed the pathetic sight Of Mr.. Rehloopfs
daughter bidding at the sale,
Mr. Bradshaw represented credit
ors and was bidding. Several fights
were narrowly ayerted at the sale.
When the facts of the case were
presented to Judge Evans he issued
the order. The penalty If Colonel
Singleton is convicted of contempt in
his actions at the sale. may be fine
Or imprisonment in the discretion OF
the Judge.

Pending the decision of the Ten

members of the Cumberland Presby-

be the place of meeting until a new
church is built. The Tennessee SUI
preme court will render a decision
in May on the question of property
rights, and the Cumberland men,
bers al over the country will abide
by the decision in this test case. If
the union is ratified and the proper
