HISTORIC BATTLE SITE
Dedicated With Impressive Ex-
erCises at Scene of Battle.
Large Gathering Of Citizens Gov
Mead and Other Distinguished
Guests Are in Attendance.

The dedication Of the SteptOe battle
field, which took place at ROsalia last
Monday, was an occasion worthy OF the
historical event which it cOmmemOrated,
and day long to be remembered by
the citizens of ROsalia and of the county
at large. There was throughout the fer
tivities an evidence Of true patriotism.
OF high appreciation Of the pioneer
spirit as represented by the little band
of soldiers who met such an unhappy
fate on that May day fifty years ago.
Esther Reed chapter, ID. A. r Of Spo-
kane, who conceived the idea Of mark
ing this historic ground, find their efforts
meeting with the unanimous support Of
the people of the county, and Mondays
enthusiastic gathering gave evidence of
the widespread interest in the move
ment.
Rosalia is TO be congratulated upon
the manner in which the arrangements
for the day were planned and carried
out, for everything was complete.
Upon the arrival of the various trains
visitors were met bv a reception com
mittee who gave most hearty welcome
to all, extending every courtesy, and
making everyone feel at home.
The March to the Battlefield.
The delegation from Colfax and inter
vening points arrived in ROsalia shortly
before the Spokane visitors, so were
present to assist in the welcome of the
committee from the d. A r. chapter
and the company of soldiers from Fort
Wright, whose presence gave the Occa-
sion the military feature so appropriate
in the dedication Of this memorial to
soldiers OF an almost departed genera
ton. The Colfax band discoursed sweet
music while the line of march was being
formed, and the start was made for the
battlefield, beautiful spot on the hill
above town, marked by a tall flag staff
from which foated the stars and stripes
When the crowd, many hundred strong
had reached the bill top there was the
impressive ceremony of delivering the
deed in trust to the commissioners OF
Whitman county. This ceremony began
with an invocation by Rev. T. n. Smith
Of Rosaia, then presentation Of the deed
by NJ. III. West; acceptance by W. 9,
Mccoy, chairman Of the board OF county
commissioners; remarks by Mrs
Phelps, state regent d. A. r; address by
Gen. T. r. Tannatt-the program
interspersed by stirring music by the
COlfax band.
Again the battle field was left alone,
but old glory seemed to wave more
proudly over the spot, so long neglected
and almost forgotten, but from hence
forth to be hallowed ground, sacred to
the memories Of the brave men who
fought and fell there.

The circus has came and went. What there was of it was quite good. though there was very little of any thing new. They were very liberaliy patronized, especially at the afternoon performance there being probably 5000 persons under the big canvas al that time. The great ire feature was somewhat of d farce, though they had a regular fire engine, hose cart and outfit. and did some funny stunts. The dance of the elephants was good, the tight wire walking and flying trapeze performance was fine and the cleanest clown work we ever saw. There was nothing 10 offend and no confidence games or fakes that we heard of, except the ice cream cones It Toe each. There was an immense crowd Of people in town all day.

7. Roosevelt, Pitcher

Charley Wolf, of the Recreation
Park Co., has had to back up on
his release of Roosevelt, the pitcher
he attempted to fire for betting
against his own team Sunday. The
principal reason probably Is that
Billy Hulen Is field captain and Ed
die Quinn manage. of the Indians.
They were not apparently consult
ed as to Roosevelt and 1t is i'm
possible to see where VOLTS inter-
ference to the extent of arbitrarily
releasing players and breaking into
field plans Is permissible. There
were symptoms of too much Wolf
at the .opening of the season.
Aside from this view OF the
case, however, Charley Is right
What use is pitcher who can do

chances of winning? These same
mates, by the way, are earning
money that goes to keep Roosevelt
in blissful idleness. The contrast
Is large and luminous. If he Is
ever going to get into shape the
time Is certainly due. In a tryout
the other day the Bradleys of the
City league found him easy pick
ing. Put In against Vancouver In
his present shape, Roosevelt would
exhibit some financial wisdom by
placing few more bets against his
team. However, Hulen undoubtedly
knows what he's doing. and il
Roosevelt Is released he ought to
be released in proper manner. And
the betting business by members
OF the team. especially against the
team, can be dispensed with very
nicely. It's the rankest break that
has developed this year.

FAST BUT NOT
FAST ENOUGH

The town yesterday had a
chance to get an opening line on
the only visiting team that hasn't
shown up ragged in comparison
with the Indians style of play
and the game was Spokane's by a
s to 0 score. Jensen pitched prob
ably the prettiest game he has had
yet, but credit also belongs to his
support, especially in the infield.
A daring steal to second by Hulen
and a run home by Clynes put on
some more classy touches. Clynes
responded to the public demand
with a three base hit to right that
broke the ice in the third, and
James dumped one that pasted up
another. Hulen got into the lime
light in the seventh with a hit that
scored Stevens and bunch of hits
and long Fly In the eighth finish
ed the chapter. AS sample OF
what the team was doing, Sugden
hammered for three bases with
nobody out and died there. The
way the Indians worked out of
holes like that didn't bother them
a bit. The Canucks are credited
with six hits off Jensen, but the
board shows what they amounted
to.
Erickson wasted lot of time
nursing his spit ball, but 1t didn't
get him anything better than nine
safeties. One of the prettiest fea-
lures of the day was Mackin's work
at short. Clynes nailed three hits
out of four times up and James
two out of three.
For the Canucks, Donovan nego-
tiated seven put-outs in left out of
eight chances.
