Bring the Secretary of
the Interior to
Visit.

The Waikiki portion of the harbor
was the place of interest on the water
front yesterday for all. The Maine
and Alabama had come. Battleships,
which are the principal topic of con-
versation downtown and uptown just
now. are always interesting, but these
two are specially so, as they are part of
the great fleet which has made such a
stir in the world and are the first of
the feet to arrive here on the cruise
around the globe.
Both vessels sailed from Hampton
Roads on December 16 last, and after
getting to San Francisco it was decided
that they, being not able to stay with
the others in speed, should be sent
along ahead 1t gives the officers of
both vessels great satisfaction to know
that they were able to beat the sched-
ule of the voyage on the way down,
and instead of arriving here late last
night got here early in the morning.

An INCIDENT OF WATERLOO.

A millionaire shovel maker as he
sat in the smoking room Of an At

II have been over to England try

government. / failed. l didn't sell
a shovel. And dead man named
Jones was the cause of my failure.
"Jones was alive, very much alive,
during the battle of Waterloo. He
sat on horseback near Wellington's
tent. Wellington, seeing him there
in civilians dress, said angrily:

"Jones said his horse had been
killed by a cannon ball as he was re-

An Even Break.

Two games of ball were pulled

May 81. The Papermakers of Ore
gon City made their initial appear
ance here, and il was only through
the rank playing Of Brown, the To-
cal short-stop, that st. Johns did
not capture both games. The first
one was dead easy, the locals win
ming handily by score of s 10 I.
The second contest was nip and
tuck up 10 the sixth inning. the
score then standing ) and 3. With
two men gone the Papermakers
succeeded in filling the bases. The
next batter then drove an easy
chance TO Brown, who picked II up
neatly, but instead OF tossing the
bail to second, when he had loads
OF time TO do so, he made one OF
his regular wild heaves to first, re.
sultlng in three runs crossing the
home plate. Brown seemed TN
able TO come anywhere near first
base when trying TO head of a rum
ner, and during the two games was
charged with eight errors. Clark
Moore made the star catch OF the
game when he caught a foul fly off
the right field fence. Otto Moore
also distinguished himself by driv-
ing the ball over the fence. The
game ended in score of o to 3. in
Oregon City's favor.

Stocking Most Full.

We were glad to receive a good
letter from Juneau, Alaska, from
John c. Brooks, son of our towns
man, J. T. Brooks, written MAY
18th. He says he notices the
changes as recorded in the Review
each week. He is looking forward
to the time when he will come
back home, we think. because he
said: i've got that stocking
nearly filled, and when / get it
filled will come back home see ?"
We will be looking for him down
this way some of these days. He
is loud in praise of the weather in
that country now, but not far from
there a big snow slide nearly
,doused the glim for a number of
the citizens.
He has seen a number of people
from Portland-even the Merry
Widow lid made its advent there.
There was but one appearance,
however, and Mr.. Brooks does not
say whether il was laid away as
relic or put mp for a prospector's :
shack on the Yukon. He also says
he notes that an Alaska fashion
paper says purses are natter this
season." Evidently the million
aires panic has struck Juneau, too.
Well, John, come home; our purses
