Changes in the Local Team.

The Pine Bluff baseball team of the Arkansas State League will have sev- eral new members when it returns to this city Thursday of this week. af- fer playing a series of three games with Helena on the banks of the Mis- sissippi river. The team has been playing in bad luck the past few days. Clayton has been out of the game at intervals. Ware had had pair of bad legs for more than week and Ruh has suffered no little inconven- fence with "cholly horse" in the muscles of each lower limb. To add Catcher Harry Berry sustained brok- en thumb Friday at Newport and was forced to retire from the game. Big Liz" Taylor relieved him behind the bat and Deaver went into left garden, vacated by Taylor. Pitcher Woods, who was to have twirled Fridays game against the Pearl Diggers,' was talk en sick there and was still confined to his bed yesterday. Deaver sent home for help and President Drew White arranged with Louis Genevay, a local lad with good hitting eye and a quick receiving mitt, to go to Newport and take Berry's place tenn porarily. Genevay joined the team yesterday.
 1t was announced Saturday after noon that Ollie Gfroerer, fast out fielder, had ben signed by Pine Bluff and that he would join the team at Helena Monday Gfroerer was a mem- Der of the pennant winning Pine Bluff Cotton States League team several years ago and was star performer. He is a bunter of the first class and nothing gets away from him in the outfield territory. The local fans are highly elated over his being secured fer the local club.
 It is very likely that either Flood or Pittman will be turned loose. Pitt man is one of the hardest workers in
 
 and hard hitter, but Pine Bluff does not really need his services at this time, regardless of the fact that they would like to retain him. Flood, who has been holding down the initial bag since the opening of the league season, and a No. man, but the management prefers to place Big Liz Taylor at first and owing to their being unable to exceed the salary limit they will be forced to let him go, it is said Flood and Pittman can both find berths in the State League. for both are fast ball tossers and are handy with the stick. The local management is playing no favorites. They are trying to get to- gether the best baseball team that the salary limit will permit.

LiSten.t This Fans.

There was a balloon ascension at Pine Bluff this week and the Sham rocks were the aeronauts. The root l ing and roasting of the Pine Bluff fans | is said to have been responsible for the trouble, for it put the Shamrocks in condition like unto that of dam- sel in her teens about to be married, and they knew not on which end their heads were located. Their feet played an important part in the inning and it seemed as if their hands and heads were for ornament only.
 Incidentally, it was the first lost game recorded against Reese during the season, as up to that day he had won four games and lost none. The game was a pretty one up to the last half of the ninth inning and was all the way of the Argenta lads, for Reese was pitching nice ball and was being given fine support. When Pine Bluff went to bat in her half of the ninth, the score stood to '2 in favor of Argenta, and it seemed that the Shamrocks had the game in their pockets.
 Then some true rooter over in the bleachers rose to his feet and calling the sun gods to order, declared in stentorian tones:
 We must win this game. Come on boys, and let's root out a victory Now it happens that the bleachers at Pine Bluff are composed of loyal ians, who do not go around declaring that they will never go to see another game unless so and so is fired from the team, and flushed with the victory of the previous day, they rose to the occasion.
 About the same time Reese also rose, and as his balloon started sky ward Businessman Fisher took a run ming jump and caught at the edge of the basket A few seconds later the opposite side lurched and looking down, it was seen that R. Ward had caught at the anchor as it sailed by and was coming up hand over hand.
 And such roofing.
 Why if the knockers who worked so hard in Argenta when the team was at home, in their roofing for the home team. did one-tenth as we'll for the roofing side of the game the Sham rocks would win every game played On the home diamond
 It was good, old time roofing. and of the kind that helps a team to pull out couple of runs in the ninth in- hing and take the game.
 And that is exactly what Pine Bluff did.
 The uproar was something fright ful, and sounded like a boiler factory during the busiest hour.
 The result was that Reese. who is usually the steadiest of pitchers, lost his head and gave the first batter a pass.
 Then bedlam broke loose.
 Poor Reese became beside himself and when the bunting began seemed to be unable to field the ball. Just to help out R. Ward and Kerwin contrib

 Two new ball players for the Ponies, and another an infielder, have arrived and will soon don the grey uniform. They were brought into Helena today by Mir. B. J. Cunningham, who left for Chicago several days ago to secure new players and whose search was successful. Smith, one of the two men is a pitcher and an outfielder, and Goram, the other is an infield man. Both have the reputation of playing fast ball in the semi-pro leagues of Chicago and both are expected to make good.-Helena World
 There were number of radical changes in the affairs of the Argenta baseball association recently, and in the organization of the team. At a meeting of the board of directors, Pres ident c. c. Butler, stating that he could not spare the time from his bus mess to attend to the manifold duties of president, rendered his resignation and it was accepted No successor was elected, but at a meeting which will be held next Wednesday a presi- dent for the team will be named. In the meantime Guy Bilheimer is acting ing as president. Manager Kerwin, was called in Wednesday, rendered his resignation as manager of the club, a position he has held since it's organi- zation, and in his stead Left Fielder Roy Geyer at once retained Kerwin to play second base and during the after noon released Leighton, fielder, and induced Bromley, who had been given a release, to remain with the club. Greene, an infielder, and R. Ward, a shortstop, have been signed as regular members of the team and as the Sham rocks now face the enemy they are stronger than at any time this season.

rALLoN FARMERS ARE RIGHT.

fh1S0ss FahsStENo am RSofi 10
The landowners in the Truckee.car.
son reclamation project are to meet to-
day, we understand. to request the gov
ernment to reduce the first payments
for water on their lands. Their action
is not being taken in hurry, but only
after deliberate discussion and thought,
and the government should give them
hearing. Not only that, but their re-
quest, which is only fair and reasonable,
should be granted.
Under the contracts signed with the
government the payments must be made
in ten years. The secretary of the In
terror, doubtless without full compre-
hension of the facts, has ruled that the
payments should be equal. The law,
however, does not use that word
"equal," but states that they should
be equitable. The equity, though,i is
left the Judgment of the Secretary of
the Interior, so his is the final word on
the subject.
But the contention Of the farmers at
Fsllon is that equal" payments are not
equitable, and, after hearing them
talk over the subject, The Journal can.
not see how anyone can deny the JUS
tice of their argument. 1t is all new
land in the great tract. The first two
seasons, therefore, cannot expect to
yield anything in the way of profit.
Hence the early payments, as it is re-
ported has been done in the case of the
Malheur project, should be graduated
and ought in the first two years to be
less than those subsequently required.
After two years larger payment
would not be objected to by the settler,
and he should be in position to make it.
By demanding as large sum in the
first two seasons as in each of the fol-
lowing eight, the government Injuries
its own project. The intention was to
furnish homes with water rights to peo-
pie who could appreciate them and
knew how to make the most of irriga-
ted farms. Not all such people have
more than the sum needed to erect a
house, make the first payments on the
land, and sustain the expense of the
seasons that must pass before a profit
able crop can be raised By insisting
on equal payments throughout the en-
tire ten years, it must be obvious that
the government is limiting the class
that can afford to buy the land.
Reno should aid the settlers in and
around Fallon in obtaining consideration
of the request, for it is directly to the
interest of this city that great farm
ing community should exist within easy
reach of our doors. 1t means business.

with two shafts, about 200 feet
in one of which is a good percent
age of copper and strong vein
of galena ore, which when fol-
lowed up will, doubtless, lead to
a body of high-grade shipping ore.
