BRIDGETON 5
ROYERSFORD 3.

Inc Royersford team came here Tues
day morning for two days stand
with the Bridgeton nine They came
direct from Wildwood, fresh from a
fourteen inning 2 to victory over the
shore team. They proved themselves
fast bunch all right, but had to bow
to Bridgeton when the victory honors
were handed out, dropping the first
game. Score 53.
1t was a well-contested battle, and
the fans were kept on the jump with
the good plays contributed by both
sides.
Newberry was Bridgeton s choice for
the firing line, although he had been
i'll all day, and for six innings he was
the whole show No runs, one hit, and
one-two three order in every inning
but one. Only nineteen men faced
him in those first half dozen rounds.
After the seventh, the intense heat had
SO affected Newberry that he could
stand it no longer, SO he gave way to
Barth, who wound up the last two inn.
ings in his usual mastery manner.
In the seventh Newberry had been
touched up a little and with some
shaky fielding back of him, allowed
three runs, which were all the visitors
succeeded in getting.
The home team made killing on the
jump Captain Kelchner made his first
appearance on the diamond and was
greeted with cheer. The pitcher pro-
ceeded to add his greeting with an
inshoot to Cap. s ribs, and he strolled
to first More sacrificed perfectly and
| Lavelle connected for a two bagger.
Kelchner slipped and fell while round
ing third, so got no farther. Ball then
| produced the first local new-rule sacri-
| fee, when Kelchner scored on his fly to
left. Dowling's high one was muff1ed
by the right fielder and Lavelle made
the second count. Knox gave Hartley
the third out. More made it three in
the next. He hit a sharp one to short,
the latter made pretty stop but a
wide throw and Bill continued to
second. Ball smashed a fierce one to
left centre which fast fielding kept to a
single, but More easily scored.
| The fifth inning saw another tally
| when Kelchner singled to centre and
stole second; More put two bagger
against the left field fence and "Cap. .
scored again.
In the eighth our scoring ended after
More made his third hit, and by some
speedy running made second and third,
consecutively, on two short passed
balls. He slid home on Balls out at
first.
This Royersford bunch have some
fast men with them and put up good
article Of ball, but yesterday Bridgeton
played just a little bit better, and by
fast work on the bases plus some op-
perfume hits, they scored five runs,
while the visitors were extremely
lucky to get the three from Newberry.
Knox and Bowling are also on the
sick list and showed it in their work,
although they played a good game at
that. Captain Kelchner has been un-
der the weather and is just getting
into shape, yesterday being his initial
appearance.

CITY RECEIVES
FOR BONDS
E. H. ROLLINS & SONS OF DEN
YER OFFERS TO PURCHASE
CITY BONDS AND HAVE MONEY
READY IN Is DAYS.

The city of Lewiston has an op-
portunity to make an immediate sale
of its bond issue of $57,300 without
waiting for the time necessary to
make the advertisement for bids and
the delay in waiting for legal ap-
proval, printing and other necessary
steps. The matter at this time comes
up in the shape of direct offer
from w. A. Scott of Denver, who is
in the city to represent E. H. Rollins
& Sons of Denver and Chicago.
His proposition is to accept the Of
fer for the purchase on the basis of
5 per cent and pass and approve the
bonds in Is days and have the mon
! ey ready for the city by the 18th OF
March. This proposition, made to
the council last night, is being fur
ther considered at a special meeting
called at noon today, and it seems
highly probable that the city and
Representative of the bond company
will reach an agreement for placing
the issue on practically these terms
The gain to the city will be very
material. 1t will mean the saving
of several months of time, and will
allow the improvement projected tt
begin at time when labor is plenti
full and wages at their lowest mark
1t will enable the work of laying
mains on the principal streets to b,
completed and the work of paving
begun before the summer is ended
With these and other consideration
in view, the members of the council
are looking favorably on the propo
sition, and the matters of detail, tn
only points of difference. are likel
to be adjusted before the meetin
adjourns this afternoon.

Sentence is suspended for the
time being, Halls attorney being
granted until May l to prepare a bill

There were IL individuals indict-
ed on this conspiracy charge, but
Hall is the only one tried, the others
having pleaded guilty or having been
given an immunity bath as a reward
for having testified for the prosecu-
ton.
Hall appeared very much surpiis-
ed at the verdict of the jury and
expressed the belief that it was
based upon matters which had nc
bearing on the case and which he
did not know would be introduced
He declared his conscience was free
in the matter. His attorney gave
notice of an appeal.

DOESN'T FAVOR BULK WHEAT
Oregon Farmer Does Not Think II
Would Paw.

ATHENA, Ore, Febb. S. David
Taylor, wheat man of wide expert
ence and observation, on being
asked what he thought about ship
ping wheat in bulk, said:
81 do not think the farmers of this
section will find it practical. The
only question for the farmers to set
tie is the question of dollars and
cents. VIII he get more cash out OF
his wheat by shipping it in bulk
than he would get otherwise? About
the only money he would save would
be the money spent for sacks, which
of course would be on the credit side
of the ledger for the farmer. But
look at the expense. The farmer
would be compelled to have more
horses and wagons to receive the
wheat as it is threshed. He would
have to have his private granary OF
haul the wheat directly to the ele
yator, which would be not only i'm
practicable, but impossible for thu
majority OF farmers in this section
Not only so, but out present ware
houses would have to give place t
elevators, causing an enormous ex
pense, which must necessarily com
out of the wheat, and, consequently
out of the farmer. think thi
method of shipping possibly Nigh
be advantageous in the Palous
country, where they do not use s
many combines and the wheat is co
lected before it is threshed, but nc

IDAHO DELEGATION SEEKS
To AID lRRIGATIONISTS
BILLS TO EXTEND PAYMENTS AND TIME OF FINAL PROOF ON
LANDS TAKEN UNDER GOVERNMENT PROJECTS MTRoDUc-
ED AND PUSHED VIGOROUSLY BY SENATORS BoRAH AND
HEPBURN. vs y ~.s.S .aa.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. S.
The question of the adjustment of
the rights of settlers on government
reclamation projects has been the
subject of considerable correspond
ence during the past week. Numer-
Gus settlers have stated their causes
of complaint and these have been
supported by the representations of
organization of settlers.
A common cause for criticism has
to do with the failure of the govern
ment to furnish water within the
time promised. The settlers realize
that the reclamation service put
forth herculean efforts to bring the
water to their lands at the time
promised, and do not hesitate to
voice their approval of its efforts.
What they complain of is the pros
pect of being penalized if they fail
to make payment before the latter
part of the year in which the water
was furnished. Having put in their
crops on promise that water would
be available in the spring, and hav-
i ing witnessed the ruination of those
crops because water was not to be
had until late in the summer, they
were neither in a position to make
the payment in December nor in 9
mood to suffer the pains and pen
alties of departmental regulations
because of non-payment.
They represent that they are will
ing to pay and anxious to pay. bu
the government must give them
chance to make sufficient from thei
holdings. One writer pointed ou
that the fewer restrictions the gov
ernment threw around the settlers
the sooner the latter would max
payment. Senator Borah has beel
in constant consultation with tn
department of the interior durini
, the week in relation to these mat
, ters. He is determined that all tn
facts concerning the settlers shall b
, known and that they be given

ed tracts introduced by Senator
Hepburn, and which passed the sem
ate recently, is one granting leave
of absence to settlers on government
reclamation projects. 1t provides
that those who have made substan-
tial improvements on their claims
as evidence of their intention of
making it their home are to be ex-
cused from residing on their land
until the water is provided for the
irrigation of their crops. The
homestead law requiring actual resi-
dence was enacted before the irri-
gated lands of the west were occu-
pied and hardships and difficulties
incident to making a living on arid
farms were not taken into consid-
Grafton.
Many of those who are clammor-
ing for legislation giving them a
leave of absence are required to
haul water for domestic purposes a
distance of eight miles, and to re-
quire the people to live on dry
lands under penalty of losing their
claims is certainly inhumane and
indicates a small regard for those
unfortunately situated. 1t is no ad
vantage or benefit to the government
to compel these people to reside or
their dry claims, and to give then
an opportunity of going out anC
earning a living is certainly just anC
reasonable.

ouT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
SIMPLE BUT IMPRESSIVE

1IcBON. Feb. S.-Funeral serv-
taos over the bodies of the late King
corlos and Crown Prince Luis, who
more shot to death a week ago today,
wore held in the church of st. Vim
cent this afternoon.
The ceremonies were simple but
,mnressiye and the final act in the
hloody tragedy of February l was
c.rria5 to a close without untoWard
incident.
The line of the funeral procession
from the royal chapel to the church
was guarded by troops. All govern
ments of Europe and America were
represented.
Every hour during the day masses
were said at the altars in the palace
chapel, and according to tradition
uriests prayed before the caskets,
shrinking them with holy water
and burning incense.
The principal mass of the way
was celebrated by the papal nuncio.
II was attended by King Manuel and
Queen Amelie and the members OF
the Diplomatic corps in uniform and
the gentlemen and ladies of the
court.
After the service had ended all
those who attended the mass view
ed the bodies of the monarch and his
son. TIL public was not admitted tc
the chapel.
The number of floral tributes re-
eeived at the chapel was unprece-
dented. In every instance two have
been sent, one for the bier of Kine
Carlos and other for that of Crown
Prince Luis Philippe.
Added to those that had been sem
the queen ordered every blossom
plucked from the famous Gintra gar
dens and the inside of the chapel wa
literally banked with flowers and thu
floor vovered with them to a deptl
of 10 inches. The flowers embrace
nearly every variety grown in tn
kingdom and the air in the chape
was redolent with their perfume
Some offerings were SO large as t
require four men to carry them. s
many carriages were required t
convey the floral tributes that pri
yate persons found difficulty in en-
gaging vehicles for use in tn
funeral cortege. A feature OF tn
day was the arrival of 25 priest
from different parishes with thei
choirs of children.
