That the American League will start
off the coming season with the receiving
department well looked after is assured
for a splendid crop of young catchers was
developed during the season Of 1896. In
fact, seldom have so many good back
stops been discovered as there We're last
year. So many good ones were unearthed
that some Of the veteran standbys are
liable TO he crowded off the map before
1907 has departed. As a rule. if one or
two good CatCheTS are developed in one
season in a league 1t is thought that the
harvest has been satisfactory. so a glance
at the record of the American League in
this respect during 1906 will occasion sur
prise, as no less than six catchers. who
are now ready to hold their own with
the best, We're brought out.
Detroit picked up two stars in Payne
and Schmidt, so good, in fact, that Jack
Warner, the veteran. was let out to
Washington. Howard Wakefield. fresh
from the minors and only off the Cleve-
land lots a year, did so well with the Ma
tiOnals that he has been returned to Cleve-
land. Branch Hickey performed in
stellar style for 81. Louis, and did some
excellent batting, while Payne the Tiger
catcher, was also a star at the bat
Another good young catcher. and os-
pecially strong at the bat, was Thomas.
of the Highlanders. He showed that he
had a good whip, but his judgment on
foul balls was rather poor.
But really the best young catcher of the
lot was Mig Clark. who served his
second season with Cleveland. Mig did
not get much chance to show his ability
the first year, but during the last he was
a star in every sense of the word, es-

PROMISES ARE FULFILLED.
MIR. Binnard is Presenting a Company
of High Class Actors.

Three productions have been given
by the Binnard Stock company, at
the Orpheum theater this week and
the universal expression of those who

has fulfilled his promise to give Walla

ever opened for an engagement in

1t would be a difficult matter to pick
out any one actor and say, this is the

William Harris, as Martin BeggS,
confidential man and secretary to the
literary critic, must have had some eX-
perience in that capacity for it would
be difficult to have the part played
more naturally. Harold Reynolds, on
the staff of the Review. as played by
Clarence Love, makes a hit from the
first act when he is a struggling re-
porter. and. even when his head has
been turned by unusual success and he

Former Comptroller Riplinger of
Seattle is trying every way possible
to square himself with the people of
the Sound city so that he may repay
the money be appropriated to his own
use and return to his former home. At
present the prospects are not very
glowing for his being granted immune
ty from prosecution. Since some of the
business men are raising a fund to
send to San Francisco for Heney and
Burns it might be a good scheme for
Riplinger to wait until the famous
prosecutor and his detective get to
work in Seattle when the defaulter
might return, confess and tell on a
lot of other fellows, and get a contract
for immunity. Had he been in league
with Abe Ruef, he would have known
how to work this system.

Walla Walla's interests, First, Last

A petition. was presented to the
council last night asking for the re-
moval of George Rolf as mounted po-
Hceman. If Mr.. Rolf has been neg
lectful of his duties or has been guilty
of any offense the matter should be
presented in the way of specific charges
in order that Mr.. Rolf might be heard
in the matter. 1t would appear that
as the mounted policeman performs
the duties of the ordinary patrolman
aid works with the police department,
it would be the proper policy to have
him under the supervision of the chief
OF police VINO should make the appoint
ment and be held responsible for SER
vice given. The chief is elected as the
head of the police department and
should be given supervision of and
held responsible for the work done in
that department.

The presence of Fire Chief Metz is

been asked to give the chief a vacation

scented to the council last year and the
chief was kept at home. OF course
Chief Metz can give them all pointers
OF fire lighting and the organization
of departments. but he would enjoy
meeting other men in the business and
would be able to get some ideas that
would be beneficial to his work in this
city. He is certainly entitled TO a
short vacation and the small amount
necessary for the expenses of the trip
would be money well spent ard would
perhaps not bankrupt the city ana
would hardly be considered extrava-

The Limit Of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion, that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to be
between so and so; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot
be too strongly urged; carelessness
then being fatal to longevity. Natures

RATES
TO Be KNOCKED
BUSINESS MEN CONDUCTING WIG
OROUS CAMPAIGN AGAINST
PROPOSED RAISE.

PORTLAND, Aug. 21-Assured of
the aid of practically every business
interest in Portland, the lumber manu-
facturers included in the membership
of the Oregon & Washington Lumber
Manufacturers association. have
launched their fight against the rail-
road companies with every confidence
of success. Assurance of this support
was given the Oregon & Washington
association at their banquet at the
Commercial club Saturday night when
representatives of practically every
business interest il. the city were in
attendance.
The special committee that has been
named by the association to conduct
it's campaign in opposition to the
proposed advance in. freight rates on
lumber products by the traLscOntinen-
tai lines has started active work.
Largely educational will be the work
of the committee. which is supplied
with statistics which are considered
invaluable to it's cause.
Will Make Showing.
Considerable data has been compiled
from the records of the interstate
commerce commission relating to the
movement of lumber and the earnings
of the railroads. By this evidence the
committee expects to prevent and ad-
vances being made in existing rates,
ard if an attempt is made by the rail-
roads to enforce the rates that have
been announced, these figures will be
presented for consideration of the in
terstate commerce commission, to
which the case will be appealed.
At the proper time the committee
will be prepared to show that the gross
earnings of the eastern lines exceed
those of the Pacific coast lines, yet the
net earnings of the latter are in eX-
cess of the former. At the same
time it will be shown that the average
cost of hauling empty cars by the east
ern lines for the year ending June 80,
1906, was 1922 as compared with 26.S
for the Pacific coast group. This proof
will be employed to refute the claims
Of the railroad companies who have
maintained that the principal reason
for advancing the rate on lumber
shipments from the Pacific coast was
because of the cost of hauling empty
cars into this district.
All Will Help.
This is not altogether a lumber
mems contest for we have the support
of the general interests of the state"
said F. G. Knapp, of the Oregon &
Washington association last night 1--WE
were much gratified with our banquet
Saturday night. 1t was attended not
Only by lumber manufacturers, repre-
wholesale grOcers, machinery dealers,
hardware dealers, lOggerS and other
representative business men participant
ed in the banquet and the addresses
which followed. These men realize that
if the lumber interests suffer from these
proposed increased rates, all lines of
business will likewise be affected. For
this reason these business interests are
vitally concerned in the outcome of
our contest and will give us every as
sistance possible
