Washington, July 17.-With "Uncle

less to call the minority to order or
bring in a special rule shutting off
base hits, the democrats of the house
of representatives walloped all sorts
of tariff schedules out of the repub-
licans at American League park yes

gressional baseball game on record
by the thrilling score of 26 to 16.
The democrats put up a rattling
game in the field-some times. Rep
resentative Heflin of Alabama, play
ing in one of the outer gardens, once
had chance to be a hero. The re-
publicans came to life in the fifth in
ming and were scoring eight or nine
or ten runs when a line fly went out
into the field straight at Heflin. The
portly Alabaman cast one eye at the
ball and another at his bare hands
and "ducked."

Ohio failed to live up to his advance

ond and after that substitutes were
called upon with ever increasing fire.

The purpose of the organization is to
build, equip and operate an electric

such other side lines and spurs as
may be desired.
This would be a competing line to
the one for which articles Of incor-

This company is under the wing OF

In addition to the electric line the
articles of Incorporation give the or

maintain a fleet of steamers on the
Columbia river and own telegraph
and telephone lines. Electric ligh,

may also be maintained.

Minthon estimates that the entire
week will be consumed in the round
up. He has a large number of as
sistants, however, and will probably
separate these into two or three gangs
in order to facilitate the work. His
uncle, Yum sum-kin. will also serve
as assistant foreman, one OF them re-
naming at the corrals all the time
while the other will be out on the
hills directing the roundup. The first
lot of horses will probably be cor
raled at Thorne Hollow and then
brought from there to the Mission
corrals. Others will be punched to-
gether on Upper Mckay creek and
brought across country.
Fraeser wants at least 25 caioads
of horses and if he can secure more
which are desirable, he will probably
take them.
