TVCUMCARI VS.. MONTOYA.
Home Talent Wins the OPENING 8
Game of the Sea son.

Quite a number of citizens and
visitors witnessed the opening
of the baseball season on the 2oth
ult. In spite of the fact that the
afternoon was more fit for football
than the national sport a very
good exhibition was given. The
errors were rather numerous on
both sides, but considering lack of
practice and the chilling winds and
cloudy weather they were excusable
The visiting team though defeated
acquitted themselves with glory
and their gentlemanly conduct and
good nature won the admiration
of those present.
Montoya took the initiative in
the first half of the third and sue
ceeded in pushing one man across
the rubber, but their lead was of
short duration as the home team
tied up the score in their half, and
the balloon went up in the fourth
when with three on bases "Shortie"
Shaw burnt the grass in center
with hot one making the ball
bounce like a buckshot on a tin
roof and while the guardian OF that
post was performing an acrobatic
stunt everything waltzed home.
The game i'y innings was as fol-
lows:
First-Montoya led off with
Coppage welding the willow, he
gained first and advanced to second
on errors bur died on third; Will
liams went out on a gentle one to
pitch via first base; Thomason foul
ed out to first and James retired
the side with hot one to pitcher.
Stewart made the first effort for
Tucumcari and after tanning the
atmosphere three times sat down;
Mardorf fouled out first and Hutch
inson retired the side with neat
one to pitcher.
Second-In this inning the home
"chunker" made the ball look like
a marble and +. Thurman, Hen
dren and II. Thurman all mis-.
placed the atmosphere the required
number of times and sat.
Ford got first on giant tumble
Dickinson did a stunt with the
breeze and Ford was caught trying
to purloin third; Herring jammed
the wind three times.
Third-Rogers and Blanton wen
out via the wind route but Coppagt
put hot one over second for two
sacks and scored on an error ane
wild throw by pitcher; Williams
went out on an easy one to short
Shaw swatted the sphere ovej
center for three sacks; Bolt placec
neat one in the right garden 70
two sacks scoring Shaw; Jones an'
Stewart played with the breeze
Mardorf laid down a hot one t

THE CITY FIRST.

Be it remembered of all mn here
about, that the City OF Astoria comes
first in the public estimate, and treat
ment, of the question Of saloon" or
~local option"
Both the other issues have their
rights and places, but both are sub
servient to the general good, present
and prospective.
The Morning Astorian is not going
to interfere with either, until one or
the other, or both, invade the COM
mon, and easily distinguished, limits
Of the popular concern. At any such
crisis we shall say what is right and
proper, no matter where nor whom
it shall hit.
We have said what we think about
both elements, and their work, at this
time. We shall keep hands off until
some untoward movement is made,
and then we shall voice public senti-
ment as we find it. 1t is up to the
leaders of the two camps to harmo-
nize and adjust the situation for the
general advantage; and along with
all other good citizens we shall hail
the compromise as distinct and de-
sirable end to very disagreeable and
untimely agitation.
And while we are urging the city
and its commercial interests as first
in the general scale of Importance, we
admit that even this is superseded by
the law of the land. That takes pre-
cedente here, and everywhere, of
course!.

col. RoEssLERs ESTIMATES.

We regret that the estimates furni-
shed by Col S. w. Roessler, federal
engineer in charge of the Columbia
river jetties, for the fiscal year were
not adhered to, and the 81 100000 Civ
en- in full; because the full sum, care
fully expended, would have wrought
the last phase of the work, and es-
pecially, had he been retained at the
head OF it. The $250,000 that has been
Topped off will serve no purpose of
economy whatever, and simply de-
lays the completion of the enterprise
indefinitely, just as the removal of
Colonel Roessler viii contribute to
the same unfortunate end.
There is some crafty agency at
work in this state or on this upper
coast to delay and drag this great
scheme through the vars until Port
land, or Seattle or some other inter
ested commercial center shall have be-
come intrenched ,immoveably and ir-
revocably; otherwise this thing would
have gone through on the original es-
innate and the able and coscientious
officer that made it would have have
been permitted to stay and finish it
with that money.
We are glad the Cello canal ap-
preparation was not altogether slaugh-
tered; but would have been pleased to
see that go through at the prescribed
$500,000, because it is among the most
essential needs of the great valley
these engineering schemes stand for;
and for which the honest intelligence
of this same officer has ayouched.
We should be, and probably are,
devoutly thankful for the lesser sums
that fall to the military posts at Van
couver and Fort Stevens for the erect
ion Of new barracks and other quart
ers; but these are inhnitismal in COM
parison with the provision for the
completion Of the greater designs.

the carpenter who had boxed up the
tank had driven an eight-penny nail
into the bottom of the tank and on
discovering the mishap had pulled
the nail out without plugging up the
hole. Ofcoursc, the gasoline soon
leaked out. The engine ran all right
as soon as it was supplied with fuel.

ULTlMATUM IN STRIKE.
Canadian Pacific Employees Threaten
General Walk Out.

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. IA spe-
cial from Winnipeg says the crisis is
approaching in the mechanics strike
on the Canadian Pacific railway. The
committee now in session in Mon
treal. representing all the orders and
unions to which employees belong,
have given the company this week to
decide whether it will meet this COM
mittee in conference with the object
Of settling the strike or have the en-
tire system tied up. The committee
in Montreal represents not only the
machinists, boilermakers and carmen
on strike, but also the engineers. fire
men, conductors and trainmen. 1t
seems to be a fight between the
unions and the Canadian Pacific rail
way, the company having made up its
mind to test their strength.
Former Master Mechanic Cross. OF
Winnipeg, is now in England, having
been sent there by the country to
hire mechanics.

KASPARILLA

THIS sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for a world of
troubles" For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting. a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
If it fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.
