FOR LUMBER BOXES.
Grand Rondc Lumber Company VIII
Make 10000 BOxes.

George Stoddard was notified yes
terday by wire from Portland that
the Grande Donde Lumber company
had been awarded the contract for
supplying fruit box shocks for the
fruit. growers unions of Colorado.
represented by ]. l.. Taylor, as re-
ported in the Star of Tuesday morn
ing, says the La Grande Star.
Mr.. Taylor, after submitting his
proposals to the local lumber mills,
left Monday night for Portland There
Is a difference of about a half cent
per box in the freight rates in favor
Of the saw mills here over those of
the western part of the state. But
the principal difference and the one
which swung the contract this way
was the preference OF the pine wood
of eastern oregon over the spruce OF
the coast country.
The contract just awarded the
Grande ROnde Lumber company calls
for 100000 boxes, or enough to fill
so cars, and 1t is the understanding
that Mr.. Taylor will also give an or
der to VanHorten & Messenger of
Union, for 15 carloads, which is all
that they care to handle. This is con-
ditioned on the same price that is to
be paid the mill at Perry.
The Colorado people expect to have
fruit output of 1850 carloads and
that is the reason they are in hurry
to be early supplied with plenty of
boxes. Last season they were great
ly handicapped in this particular and
they do not intend to allow such
thing to happen again. 1t is stated
that the price, is about 20 per cent
under what was paid for fruit boxes
last year, the difference being that
which Is due to the decline in the
price of lumber.

Scarcely had the good bishop ar
rived in the city and got fairly locat-

that there will be erected a parish
house for the purpose of holding
prayer meetings, amusements, socie-

and formal man one would expect to
see In one bearing the title with which
he has been honored as one could
imagine. He Is just the man for the

for the championship this season, and
Eddie Root, the former six-day cham
pion, who has had such remarkable
success since breaking into the paced
game early in the season.
The race will be at twenty-five miles,
and as the men will have the assist
ance of three of the best steersmen in
the business. Jake Derosie~, Charley
Turville and sunny" Briggs, a hot

Else Why Does He Sidestep Har-
LENS Pride in Coming Battle.
Mike Donovan Ill.
BY OLD SPORT.

What has happened to Leach Gross
| over in New York, that little east-side
| fighter who has been %galloping his way
to the front ranks in the lightweight
division? Is it possible that he has be-
come a victim of spinal ochre? Has the
several hard fights he has gone through
put the yellow streak near his collar
button? 1t would seem to be the case.
He has side-stepped his fight with
Harlem" Tommy Murphy, and all be-
cause Tommy insists that they meet in
the ring at the lightweight limit, l33
pounds. The fight was scheduled to AXE
place before the Navarro A. c. on the
first of next month. and it IA stipu-
lated when the match was made that
the boys were to weigh in at the ring
side at the weight called for by the
rules governing the several divisions.
Now Cross and his manager say this
is untrue, and they try to throw an
other suspicious look over the fight af-
fairs of the New York Club. What a
wise guy Sam Wallach, Cross's man
ager, must be to come out and say to
the public "Murphy's manager. Johnny
Oliver, and myself agreed to say we
would reach that weight, but we only
did it to fool the public"
If Wallach tells the truth he ought
to be barred from every club that is
DESTROYS of keeping up it's good name.
Johnny Oliver appears in the proper
light in this matter. He says Harlem
Tommy will fight Cross at the 133-
pound mark, and how in the name of
common sense car the public who
patronize these fights in the big city
do anything else but stand by Murphy?
He is a lightweight, and all he asks
for is that the battle be carried on ac-
cording to the rules covering light
weights. A lightweight ia not a 40

1t is more than probable that the

means hard work on the part of the
players, but they have responded to
the request of their leader so far, and
the best of feeling prevails In the team,
and, that means more tina two teams
OF star players Who are jealous of the
other and who are continually planning
to injure each other with the official
scorer by causing different men to
make error when these disturbers
should be getting them credited to
themselves. Newark doesn't want a
team composed of such players. This
same material that has been here all
summer is capable of winning the pen
nant, or at least come mighty near
getting it landed for Wiedenmayer's
ball yard.
Word to the Fans.
And now with the question answered,
Have u Tigers any chance to win
the pennant?" let us not forget the
loyalty shown by the fans ever since
the season started. / do not. of course,
refer to the fellow who has a Crouch
whether he is at a ball game or a pink
tea party. Such a fellow will find fault
at a church meeting, and If he should
think of it he would probably kick him
self home some night after losing fifty
cents on a horse race. But the true
fans who day after day stuck to the
Tigers when they were going back
wards are the ones | mean They have
been loyal, and now the fellows with the
crouch are getting on the band wagon
and are shouting for the team.
Root All the Harder.
Now. in parting, let us resolve, ever
after our loss of yesterday, to stand
for the Tigers in their mistakes as
well as in their perfections-in their
off days as well as their winning days,
and You a go out and wager your old
hat against any church steeple that
the Tigers will respond, and they will
come pretty near bearing me out when
1 say that they have a chance to win
the pennant. Just you try it.
