The bLACkCAT Win
take FIRST GAME FROM SEATTLE
EASILY,
StarkellpifChes Great Ball, and Allows
but Three Hits. A Big Crowd wit.
neSSeS Rather Tame Game. Cats
Have Chance to Walk up Ladder
This Week.

Aberdeen yesterday defeated Sc
attic to in the first game of the
series. Seattle never had a look-in,
and the Cats romped off with an
easy victory. Seattle's failure to
connect successfully with the deliv-
cry of Starkell and Aberdeens ability
to sap the offerings of young Mr..
Heinrich combined to give last years
champs the game.
The weather was all that could
have been desired, and the big crowd
was at the park when Red" Ehret
got things under way. Both bleach
ers were jammed, and in the grand
stand were goodly number of fans
Of both sexes. The game itself was
rather lifeless affair and the root
ers had an off day.
Three hits were all that Seattle
could secure off the delivery of STAR
kell. The famous crOss-fire artist
had everything, and his teammates
played good ball behind him. Two
errors were charged against the
Cats-one against Charlie Moore for
muffing an easy little grounder that
hit bump and the othe- against
George Fitzgerald for p first
which pulled Julie Ste off the
sack an6 gave 3runstihe t base.
OF .e .nree hits accredited to
Seattle .wo were three-baggers-
both long drives over Eddie House.
holders head. In each instance the
drives came after two Siwashes had
been scalpe'. Fink got the first
three-bagger in the siy'h and For
tier soused another one into right
center in the seventh. Cahill sing
led into right field in the eighth.
Starkell pitched great game. In
pinches he was invincible. He is the
same old foxy Starkell, and yester-
day caught the batters mapping on
several occasions. At no time was
Seattle dangerous.
In the first inning Streib drew a
pass and Van Buren, sacrificed him
down to second. Brinker singled to
center field, dropping Texas leag-
uer back of second. Streib dared
not run, as it looked like an out.
Householder walked and the sacks
were loaded. Fitzgerald hit one a
mile minute to LOussi, Streib and
Brinker scoring. Householder tried
to come in, but was killed off at
home, and Fritz died trying to go to
second on the play.
In the third Streib hit for two
bases and scored on Van Buren's
single into left field. Drinkers
sacrifice put Van Buren on second,
and he scored on Householder's in
field drive. In the seventh Brown
walked and Boettiger singled, both
advancing on Starkell's drive to
Graham. Streib singled into right
and both men scored.

SHINGLE MILL FIRE.
Two Dry Kilns of the Coats Shingle
Company Burned at Hoquiam
Monday Night.

Two dry kilns containing 100000
shingles of the Coats Shingle Com
pany at Hoquiam were destroyed by
fire Monday evening, the damage be-
ing $4,000, partially covered by in
surance. The fire is supposed to have
started from sparks from the refuse
pile of the Poison shingle mill several
hundred feet away.
The fire was discovered at $50 and
inside of two minutes the entire kilns
were ablaze. The fire department re-
sponded Immediately and it was ne
cessary to lay 1000 feet of hose from
the nearest hydrant.
Ex-Fire Chief Soule, captain of tug
Egger, towed an empty scow to the
wharf, and this did excellent service
as no fire apparatus could be brought
within mile of the fire. The work
of Frank Monroe, volunteer fire.
man, was worthy of commendation.
The fire burned all the night, but
the department succeeded in saving
the north shed to the kiln. The
southwest wind kept the fire from
spreading to the mill, which stood so
feet away.
The members of the Coats Shingle
Co. are A. S. Coats of Aberdeen, and
Jesse Lewis of Hoquiam, who will
rebuild the dry kilns at once.

ness section-and included all streets
alleys and lots. 1t provided for filling
them all up to grade with sand, earth
or gravel, making no provision for
the future graveling and paving of
the streets, or covering the silt with
earth on residence lots before grass
would grow upon them.
The objections raised to this plan
were numer the one carrying most
weight with the - 'ncil being that it
bore too heavily upon the low priced
lots in the west end. But, aside from
that, it was noted that the ill went
to the foot of the hill and followed it's
contour from Division street to the
W'shkah river, and 1t was asked
what would be done with the earth
, from the hills when they came to be
graded? This earth would have to
be hauled so far as to more than
double the present cost, where it is
used as filling. Take H street, quoted
by the Post. The contract price for
grading this street is "a cents per
yard, and it is taken from the hill to
fill on the flat, so that the cost to the
property owner is but II cents per
yard. The bid of 65 cents alluded to
by the Post, is caused by the long
haul necessary, and is an index of the
>1,p lN1o of {hA t,t1 1oc
should the nearby dumps be filled
from the river.
1t was also asked why the business
district was omitted, when the streets
and alleys needed it, and the owners
were able and willing to pay for it,
but no satisfactory response could be
obtained. The plan Of filling the lots
by the city is of questionable wisdom,
also. Had the scheme of last spring
been put through, it is safe to say
that many lot and home owners in
moderate circumstances would have
lost their property through inability
to meet the required payments.
The price was too high. The
Dredging Co. is pumping the bottom
from the river for the government for
151a cents per yard, and must dispose
of the debris, yet they wanted 10 SAC
from the city for handy dumping
ground. The methods of this company
were entirely too raw in attempting
to secure this 100000 contract, in
Guiding it's straw bid from Portland.
The fact is that the former propos-
itiOn had every appearance of having
consideration only for the dredging
company, and we believe the present
council will take the matter up in
business way, as agents of those who
pay for the work-the company may
be relied upon to look after it's own
interests. The opinion of the Herald
is that the city should fill such streets
and alleys as are necessary, leaving
the filling of lots to the owners, and
that the streets and alleys should
only be filled to such a height as
would bring the street to grade when
finished and paved. Market street
should be the north line of river fill
ing, there being sufficient earth to be
moved from the hills to fill all above
that street.

number of states that will be fought
for as doubtful, and will therefore re-
quire aid from their secret campaign
fund source. 1t is quite possible that
enormous as this corruption fund will
be, it may fall short OF satisfying the
harpies that lay in wait for it when
it has to be divided into so many por-
tions. The panic and continued de-
preston has made even the Wall
Street interests short of ready cash,
and it will need all the promises Of
future favors that the Republican
managers dare offer to make some
feel they can disgorge.
The Democrats have no such trou-
bles about campaign funds. They
have no protected interests" to draw
upon, nor do they expect to raise
large sum. 1t is probable that one
hundred dollars will go as far as one
thousand does with the Republicans.
Still the Democratic Committee will
need considerable money for printing
and speakers and the hundred and
one legitimate expenses that ma
tional campaign entails.
The Democratic Committee, on the
advice of Mr.. Bryan, has declared it
will receive no contributions from
corporations, and has limited the
amount that will be received from
any individual to $4,000, and that
it will make publication before the
election of all contributions above
500 received before October Is, and
contributions received after that date
will be published upon the date upon
which they are received.
That kind of publicity would seem
to be carrying out in spirit and in
truth what the Democratic platform
demands and promises. think, how
ever, that the names and addresses of
all subscribers to the campaign fund
of five dollars and over, should be
published, for to do so would un-
doubtedly foster spirit of emulation
and to be known as helping the cause
would justly entitle the contributor
to the distinguished consideration of
his brother Democrats according to
his known ability to give. liz the
widows mite, the five dollars from
poor man is greater gift than the
ten thousand dollars from the rich
man, and should be estimated accord
ingly.
The latest reports from Hot Springs
say that Candidate Taft will meet the
publicity issue fairly, and will, in his
letter of acceptance, virtually revise
the Republican platform, which con-
tains no declaration for publicity
and thus answer the challenge of ti.4
Democrats. But this was before Cen
didate Taft knew how complete the
Democratic plan for publicity goes,
and that it promises to publish "be-
fore election" Candidate Taft may
have implicit confidence in the skill
of the Republican managers to con-
ceal the real facts about contribu-
tions from the trusts and corpora
tions. One thing is certain, that
publicity latter election" is useless
as curb on the corrupt use of mon
ey. and any promise of publicity be-
fore election is worthless unless hon
estly carried out.

filling TIDELANDS
The old DREDGING Scheme BOBS
UP SERENELY.
1t Was not Dead, but Sleeping. Dredg-
ing Company May Now be More
Reasonable. City Council May be
Able to Make Advantageous Deal
at This Time.

The matter of filling the tidelands
of the city is again coming up, and 1t
is to be hoped that an arrangement
may be made that will at least fill
the streets in the business district at
a moderate COST The American Dredg-
ing Co. seems now disposed to figure
lower than it did last March when all
bids were rejected, and before their
dredging plant leaves the Harbor It
may be possible to make a profitable
contract with them.
The trouble with the former prop
Osition to fill those lands was, that
it embraced the wrong lands, and the
price asked, 10 ga cents per yard,
was too high. The city council may
| be trusted in this matter to act wise
ly and for the best interest of those
who foot the bills, and the Herald
does not believe they will be dragOon-
ed into supporting a measure by such
articles as the following, taken from
the last issue of the Grays Harbor
Post:
"The city is beginning to reap the
results of the ignorance of the coun-
Gil in rejecting without further in
vestigation the filling of the tide
flats which came up in March. Bids
for the filling of the entire tide land
area from Division street to Broad
way, were gotten at 10 3-4c per cubic
yard. The same bid would have ap-
piled to the entire city on the flats.
But some councilmen, working for
their reelection, and believing it
advantageous to them to oppose the
fill, made a fight along that line.
Much false agitation was created and
widespread misrepresentation of the
motives of those advocating the fill
was scattered broadcast in the press
and by the usual methods of blatant
blather sixties, with an axe to grind.
The mayor and the council lacking
either stamina or the information
necessary on the subject, rejected all
bids and there the matter has rested.
A4.o 4leult now - that the city is
fr.~s: ~ . Hiece-mea' process certain
of the streets at prices that are pro-
hibitive. The cost of the II street
fill is "a cents per cubic yard and

soc to Csc per cubic yard. If accept
ed this will make the cost of the fill

Joining lots at the price of the bids
that were rejected and will leave sink
holes formed by the lots on either
side of accumulated bilge water and
unsanitary matter of all kinds"
The proposition that the 'Ignor-
ance of the council rejected" en-
braced the entire city north of the
Chehalis river and west of the Wish

in the fire limits-that is, the busi-

Sterling Star: The Roman flax crop
spoken Of last week is in evidence by
a fine sample brought in by Mr.. Cur
tin Saturday for shipment to Iowa.
It is az fine as any we ever saw, the
bolls being large and solid, and num-
erous on the stalk. 1t is a fine color,
being well along, and will be ready
for harvest in two or three weeks if
all is as advanced as the sample. No
one seeing that flax would ever sus-
pect that there had been anything
but the most, favorable of seasons in
this section. Mr.. Curtin also had a
sample Of some of his Swedish Re
generation oats, Of which he has in
five, acres for seed, and they are a
fine looking exhibit. Mr., Curtin
bought twenty bushels in Chicago last
year, and brought enough here to SOW
i've acres. They yielded 100 bushels
per acre in Illinois on the experiment
crop. His prospect is good for big
yield this season.
