Roswell defeated Lake Arthur sew
en- to six in a battle of batters at A
musement Park yesterday afternoon.
The visitors secured twelve hits to
the locals ten, but the latter punched
theirs to a little better advantage.
All the runs were earned but one on
each side. Roswell made but two er-
rors and Lake Arthur five. but only
one on each side figured in the score
making.
Deaton, the Kansas midget went
into the box for Lake Arthur, pitch
ing five innings in which he struck
out 1, passed and allowed hits,
four of them in the fifth. Then Brat
ton went into the box and in three
innings struck out FIVE. passed one
and allowed but one hit. 1t was a mis-
take to put Deaton in the box after a
500 mile ride without rest.
Foreman took the firing line for Ros-
well for FIVE innings, striking out 2.
passing L, hitting 1 and allowing 8
hits. Then Wynne went into the box
and in four innings struck out 3, pas
sed one, and allowed four hits.
Wynne, in right and pitching, Web
ster in left and Kunz at second, all
members of the Institute team, filled
vacancies ol the town team. Webs

game by running back and catching

two-baggers and a single out of five
times up. Kunz came next with a
home-rul, two bagger and a single.
Kuyrkendall, Wynne and Wilson, all
got two-baggers. Reed and Nichols
are each credited with two hits but
each had a scratch hit of the worst
variety. When the first man up in
the first, Kunz raped out the best
hit of the game, sending the ball ov-
er the north fence.
The game started with a very small
attendance, which grew as the game
progressed. Although the score 'see-
sawed" nicely, one inning bringing
the visitors ahead and the next the
locals, the game did not have the u.s.
ral interest for the spectators, for an
unknown reason.

ENEMIES OF THE STATE.

Outside people who read of the atti-
tude some OIegonians take towards the
schools of the state will think that
Oregon is miserable little place where
the people are barely able to exc out
an existence.
Last spring terrific objection was
raised to the appropriation for the
University of Oregon, although the
amount voted tor that fine institution
was but one-fourth what the state Of
Washington had voted for its univer-
sity.
For years the state has taken mig
gardly policy towards its normal
schools. Past appropriations for them
have been meager--far lower than
what Washington has given to its nor
mals-yet narrow-minded men have
objected to every dollar that has been
spent. Now these men are trying to
start movement to still further ham,
per the normal schools. They are
urging that one, two or all OF the
present schools be abolished. They
promise to take the fight into the leg
islature.
If the course advocated by these
men were followed to the logical con-
clusion Oregon would abolish all of its
schools. 1t would spend money for
nothing. The state would go back to-
the period when grass and pine trees
grew in the streets of Portland and
people lived upon the game they could
kill and the fish they could catch.
Oregon is not primitive state. It's
people are not starving. The natural
resources of the state are unsurpassed.
Its people are prosperous and the pop
ulation is growing. In short time
there will be million people here in
stead of the 100000 at present.
1t is time for this antagonism to the
schools to stop. Upon the good work
done by the schools, normal and other
wise, hangs the salvation of the state.
They should be given all the money
they need and should not be hampered
at every turn.
The men who try to block just school
appropriations are enemies of the state
and of civilization. East iOregonian.

NEW FoEMEN FOR TRUSTS.

A new influence has arisen to COM
bat the trusts, and it is apparently to
be considerable actor in the present
campaign. Further developments and
expansion of trusts, if permitted in the
country, promises to almost entirely
eliminate the commercial traveller.
Standard Oil already takes its raw
material from the ground, manufac-
lures it into the refined product, and
itself delivers it to the door of the re-
tail dealer, pocketing every cent of
profit earned or earnatle, from ma
ture's original deposits to the lamp or
stove that finally burns the oil. When
all of the rest of the great combina-
tions complete their arrangements and
apply similar methods, a small group
of few hundred men will be almost
the sole earners. between mother earth
and the consumer. Employment with
its means of support for hundreds of
thousands of families will thus he

Thousands of letters to school toy
IN the United States aud England nave
been mailed by the lads of Australia,
as part of fostering and intensifying
race pride with view to strengthen
ing the friendship between the coun-
tries and drawing the younger genera
tion close together. This is o5ly one
of the features of the great movement
for the "white mans Pacific" which
has grown out of the visit of the
American feet to these shores. The
feeling that America and England
must join in gaining the supremacy of
the Pacific for the white race grows
stronger every day. 1t is hoped that
each school boy in Australia will build
up correspondence with boy in
America or England and that these
letters will lead to close friendship
and realization of mutual interests be-
tween the countries. The letters will
tell OF the advancement and develop
ment of the countries and discuss the
necessities of Asiatic exclusion.
