BROWNSVILLE LOSES
TWO GAMES OUT OF THREE
Corpus Christi Team Took the
ScaIps of Our Boys Saturday
and Sunday.

and Sunday.
Brownsville's pride get the worst
of it in Corpus Christi. The first
game was won by Brownsville Friday
afternoon, it is true. The news was
eceived here Friday evening. II
caused the spirits of the local fans to
rise high. Everyone was smiling.
''Have you heard the good news?
Brownsville won" People shouted II
It each other across the street,and re-
joiced muchly.
But. alas, pride goeth before fall
The Scripture tells us so and expert
ence proves it. The news on Saturday
evening was telegraphed home by the
honest but no doubt down-cast team
reporter, that Brownsville had lost
! the second game, by score Of four
to one The erstwhile smiling faces
of the fans became elongated.
Kring was pitcher for the team in
this game.
There was the last game to look
forward to, however, and hope was
still written in the faces of all as
they awaited the returns on this
game. Owing to the telegraph Office
closing at six O'Clock on Sunday even
ing, no report of the game could be
obtained until this morning. 1t was
blue Monday" in Brownsville sure
enough, when the bulletin was read
today on the board at the Will
man Pharmacy:
Brownsville three. Corpus Christi
nine"
The local fans have nothing more
to say. Corpus Christi is it.
But nevertheless, they will insist
on the home team trying again. The
faith Of Brownsville still refuses te
be shaken in its own team.
Cobolini pitched for the team Sun
day.
Today the team is at Rockport to
play series with the team at that
place. 1t is remembered that Browns
vile whipped Rockport when the lat
ter team was here, and there is
grounds to hope for better luck in
this match.
One thing against the Browns
vile boys at seaside place is the
strong gale that usually blows there.
Not being accustomed to playing in
gale, causes the boys to become some
what ratified, and lose confidence in
themselves.

and the big fiat boat was carried
nearly half mile down the stream
before it could be stopped. There were
four Mexican laborers on the boat at

if they had taken passage for a trip
to the mouth of the river. The boat
was stopped, however, when it got
into the eddy a short distance below
the immigration station, the boatmen
being able to bring it to the shore
by means oftheir oars. 1t was towed
back to the usual landing and tied up
to the shore until the cable can be
repaired. which was being done this

Cruise the Timber.


county will be in session next week,
commencing Wednesday morning,
when will undoubtedly he taken up
the matter of cruising the timber
lands of this county for the purpose
of assessment. 1t is the unanimous
sentiment of the taxpayers and
residents of the county that the
Court should order cruise made
at the coming term of court, as is
evidenced by the many petitions
filed, and the Court being simply
the agents of the people we believe
should and will consider their
wishes, especially when there will
not be dissenting voice against the
proposition, UNI Jess there should he
some timber syndicates or tel
agents, who desire 10 avoid their
proportion Of taxation. We do
not believe Lincoln county has any
such, as far as our acquaintance 60
we believe our timber dealers all tD
be fair men, not seeking to avoi.l
any just assessments to the detri-
ment of Lincoln county. We all
know that the only way to ever get
an equal assessment is to let con-
tracts toa responsible man, have a
uniform cruise of the whole county,
require sufficient bond and require
contractor to furnish permanent
plats showing amount of timber ON
each forty acres. If we get this the
Court and all the people will bc
satisfied. This plan is no expert
ment. Judge Woodward of Benton
county writes that they hired join
Hyde by the day to do their cruis-
ing. He was appointed Deputy
Assessor, and by his cruise added
O,000 to Benton's tax roll.
Polk, Yamhill, Clatsop and Colum-
bia counties let contracts by the
acre, requiring plats showing
amount of timber on each folty.
All five counties agree on this,
The cruise was entirely satisfactory
to our Court and people. " w. A.
Harris, Clerk of Columbia county,
says, 1t seems to me it is the only
proper way to make an assessment,
for the reason that it gives the in
formation for the Assessor to be
able to make an equitable and Just
assessment. y J. G. Clinton, Clerk
Of Clatsop county says, The in
crease of the tax roll justified the
expense of cruising in this county
At one time we had great deal of
trouble about the assessment Of
timber lands, but since we have had
the cruise of the county we have
had very few complaints, as the
owner of timber lands pays taxes
on exactly what he owns and moth
ing more. If he owns a valuable
claim he is taxed with it, and if he
owns poor one he pays according
ly. 1t pays to have responsible
men do the cruising, then when the
cruise is completed you feel satisfied
that you have something that you
can depend on
Just now while all our people
are united on making greater
Lincoln county, let people and
Court walk together, get our six
billion feet of timber on the tax roll
at a just and equitable valuation,
support our Court, pay our debts,
improve our roads and schools,
and be happy.
