Tomorrow the ball team will go to
Walla Walla for the purpose of once
more crossing bats with the Garden
City players, and hopes are high that
this time the score will show favora-
BILE to Pendleton.
In the game tomorrow Lorimer, the
hero of the Oldtimers, and one Of the
best pithcers seen in any of the
games this year, will be in the box
for Pendleton. This fact alone signi-
fies much to many who have seen
Lorimer play, and his friends are
looking for him to give a good ac-
count of himself tomorrow. In both
the local games played here Lorimer
showed up well, and it is Manager
Frazier's opinion that he will prove
the best twirler the team has had this
year.
Practically the entire team tomor-
row will be composed of local players.
Collins will catch; Harrity is schedul-
ed for first base; Alexander for Sec
ond, Kehm for third, Graves for short
stop, King left field, Lieuallen center
field, Leonard right field, and Hoover
substitute. In view of the local hne-
up the work Of the team will be fol-
lowed with more interest. and there is
little doubt but that goodly crowd
wifi go on the excursion.
q believe we really have the best
lineup yet this year and that we will
win tomorrow. Last night the team
had a good practice and all Of the
boys showed up WELL" declared Mana
ger L. G. Frazier this morning, and II
the score is not favorable to Pendleton
one of the most disappointed will be
the manager himself.
AS usual, the excursion train will
leave here at 9 o'clock and will return
home in the evening.

ordered cars for the shipment of g.
600 head of fat sheep at Cut Bank,
Mont, and was assured by the de-
fendant that 26 cars would be fur
nished him within three days. Plain
tiff thereupon caused the sheep to be
brought to Cut Bank for shipment,
hut the cars We're not furnished until
JaJnuary 8. For 20 days the sheep
were held at the station awaiting the
cars promises from day to day and
on January 3 they were loaded on
the cars and consigned to Seattle.
The plaintiff alleges that they were
in transit between Cut Bank and
Spokane +6 hours, and that they were
in cars in which no proper provision
was made Cor the. animals to eat,
drink or rest, and that during all of
that time, nnl for a period greater
than 2s hours set by the statute, the
sheep were not unloaded or given rest
or food. AS result of this the plain
tiff says that the sheep became run
down and seven of them died.
It is further alleged that the sheep
were kept at Spokane, through the
carelessness and negligence of the de-
fendant, for six days before being
forwarded to Seattle, and that dur
ing that time a feed bill was incur
red amounting to 1886 which plain
tiff was compelled to pay before he
could get possession of his sheep. The
amount was paid under protest.

WASH|NGTON'S
FIRST RAILROAD
COYOTES ATE UP THE
RAW HIDE TRACK
Tacoma News Tells New Story OF DIR.
Bakers Pioneer Railroad In the
Walla Walla Valley-Strap Of Cow-
hide 10 Miles Long Was Used as
Rails When 1t Was First Built.

Many amusing anecdotes, regard
ing DR.. Bakers rawhide railroad ope-
rated between Walla Walla and Wal
lula in the early days have been told,
but 1t is for the Tacoma News to
spring new one, which will prove
interesting to many pioneers who re-
member the famous railroad and the
difficulties under which it was con-
structed and operated by DR.. Baker.
The News story is as follows:
Recent railroad developments In
Washington have recalled to the
minds Of the old-timers many enter.
tanning anecdotes concerning the first
railroads in the state. One of the
most interesting of these is an ac-
count Of the building Of what is now
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company's line in this state.
The company which built the road
was Incorporated in 1868 and the line
was in operation between Wallula
and Walla Walla in 1878. The first
10 miles of the road was built entire
ly Of wood, fir strlngers Axe being
used for rails. Later a piece of strap
iron was put on the face of the
stringer and few years after a 26-
pound rail was laid the entire dis
tancc.
The road was built by s. D. Baker
and was a money maker from the
start. rate of $3.50 ton was
charged for carrying freight the dis
tance Of 81 miles. The little engine
that hauled the half dozen cars over
the line was capable of making only
10 miles an hour. Part Of the coun-
try between Walla Walla and WAL
lula was devoted to raising cattle
For fear some of the cattle should
get on the track and be run over and
cause damage suits, MIR. Baker
bought half a dozen shepherd dogs,
which were sent ahead of the fast
freight" to keep the cattle off the
right of way.
Before the strap-iron was put on
the strlngers, Mr.. Baker tried the ex-
pertinent of putting down a strip of
cowhide. The country was ransacked
for hides and strip 10 miles long
was nailed on each of the stringers.
The experiment appeared to be work.
Ing, all right until the following win
ter. which was unusually severe. The
cold weather and scarcity of food
drove the coyotes out into the clear
ings along the railroad. The cow
hide on the rails smelled good to the
famished varmints and they proceed
ed to eat up Mr.. Bakers railroad.
Mr.. Bakers road was turned over
to the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company in 1882 and changed to
standard guage road to handle the
heavy traffic that had developed along
the line. The road was completed
from Portland to Spokane in 1889.

duced within a few months, possibly
three months, and that within one
year 200 men will be working upon
the new industry.

him a German brewer from Munich
who also has had experience in Mil
waukee, and who Is an authority up
