 The old saving that love will tiad a way, held good in this instance, how ever, for when MT. Beardsley found that he could not be married in Provi- dence on license issued in Central Fails, he listened to the advice of city clerk John W. Rowe. of Pawtueket, gave up his Central Falls license, re- ceived his dollar back, and returned to Pawtucket for q license where he found everything plain sailing. IL was also easier Ia find minister al home in Pawtueket than in Providence or Cen tral Falls, and he was married to Miss Beaumont by Rev. Willard Q.

The Police are all right in their place, and the services of the official were by no means wanted or needed, for ne found out io his sor- row that the question was loo much for him and he departed; the Manager k fully aware that his place is on the bench, but he no doubt WAS doing all for the best.
 There are several players Of The Put nam team who claim both were safe: the nost ardent fan is of the same opinion, for after the game, the people departing from the grounds, fesembied very much people going home from church.
 People who pay their good money te see a ball game are contented lo re. main on their seats to see the finish, and when two teams are 70 evenly matched as the C. A. C. and the An defns, they like to see the finish, but it
  by such poor work Of an umpire. There k no question but what the Andems played their finest, especially Cy Peloquin and Dionne who were in extra fine form, ably assisted by bal- ance Of team.
 As before stated, Mcguire decided the game. The Putnam fans must realize there is no honor or glory in claiming this game victory, rather say 1t was present from the umpire, for which he ought to be presented with a medal from the Putnam Found ", for his kindness.
 Yours for fair play,

 JEwErT CITY vs. PUTNAM.
 The battle between the league lead. CTS, which will take place in this city next Saturday, is attracting attention from all over the circuit. The game will be the most important of the seq son, and upon 1t depends, In con siderable degree, the honers of first pos sition at the season-end. Putnam has always pat 1t on Jewett City when | they have been their guests, and if | they appear with their regular team | should have no difficulty doing SO this | tune. The Jewett City outfit have the | game on ice already, according to their way of looking at it, and can already see the flag flying in their borough. | There are four more postponed games I To be played and as Putnam has two of | the four at home It rather looks as l though they were breaking right for
 Manager Bonin. An unauthenticated report comes from down the river that
 word has been sent to Hugh Duffy, of the Providence team, formerly of Jew cit City, to send up pitcher for the occasion. If this Is true and the man. ager has taken the proper steps to make the pitcher eligible, it may put a different aspect on the situation. If
 Putnam can keepup the gait they have
 struck they need not fear McBroome's $ outfit whoever Is in the box. There
 ought to be the largest attendance oi
 the year at the grounds next Saturday
 to see the two teams that are tied fol
 first place break away.

UMhT|LLA EXPECTS
AN AVERAGE CROP
Rain Inopportune, But Better FARMING
and Goodness in Great Degree
Offset lt-Yield Heavier
Than Last Year.

PENDLETON, June % Despite
the absence of rain at a season OF the
year when the growing crops are sup
posed to demand it, present indications
point to an average crop for Umatilla
county this season. Certain it is that
the yield will be much heavier than
that of last year, which was estimat-
ed to be sne-fourth short. Last sea-
son the precipitation was almost en-
tirely lacking while this season ii fell
in the middle of the winter, but was
reconserved by improved methods of
farming and the cold weather, which
also retarded early growth.
The grain is now practically all head
ed out, and while the straw will pe
much shorter than that for the average
season, the heads are long and well
spring rains in many sections of the
county necessitated the cutting of some
of the wheat for hay, and this is now in
progress. This only happened however.
in some Of the light land sections and
on what are known as "the breaks" the
borders between the plateaus and the
river and creek valleys Only the US
ual amount of wheat is being cut for
hay in the wheat section
The country in the vicinity of Pilot
Rock was probably hardest hit by the
dry season, as the Spring sown grain
in that vicinity is almost a total failure
Fortunately the acreage of spring sown
grain is inconsequential in comparison
to the whole amount, consisting for the
most part of fields which were seeded
too barely in the fall and which failed
to come up, for some reason not yet ex-
planned. The barley crop as a whole,
however, in the Pilot Rock country is
nearly twice as promising as at this
time last year, and the threshing of this
grain will be started in few days.
This years grain acreage is greater
than last, the increase being in the
Pilot Rock, Weston Mountain and west
end sections The percentage of fall
and winter wheat to spring is about 95
to 5, the difference being some greater
than last year. The advantage Of grain
sown in the fall or winter over that
sown in the spring has been amply
demonstrated during the past few
years. with the result that everyone
who can is sowing in the fall.
From present indications this years
