games are PLAYED for blood. All Of the

the league season opens.
There Is a sentiment among some own

be done just as well az home In such
cities as Baltimore. Washington, St
Louis, and others near the South. where

Salem, Nay 0.-Representatives of
the Almiral company and Thatcher
interests are presenting arguments to-
day to the state water board of con-
troll. Each is endeavoring to procure
the right to divert sufficient water
from Powder river to reclaim the
large tract of the lower Powder valley.
The segregation is composed of sever
al thousand acres of arid land within
a radius of IL miles from Baker City.
Il is regarded as one of the most valu-
able segregations in eastern Oregon.
At a meeting of the desert land
board a few weeks ago the Almiral
company was granted a preference
when the matter was threshed out.
The Almiral people are interested in
the construction of the proposed
Eagle valley electric line, which dis
trict is to be irrigated.

Because of pathetic incident that

a postmaster has written Fourth AS

pleading that the name of the postal

The postmaster told how there had
been returned to a woman in his
town a letter she had written some
months before to her son in the Phil
ippines. The young man counldn't
be located, so the letter came to the
postoffice department. was stamped
in big red letters "Dead Letter Office"
and, finally, sent back to the mother.

condition again.

Portland, May 20.-Transportation
experts from Oregon, California, and
Washington are meeting here this af-
ternoon in the rooms of transporta-
tion in the local chamber of commerce
to consider ways and means for COM
batting the excessive transcontinental
freight rates placed in effect by the
railroads the first of the year.
Some methods for bringing the pro-
ceedings before the interstate COM
mission looking to a restoration of for
mer rates from the Pacific coast will
probably be decided upon.
The delegates declare that the arbi-
trary increase has already worked
serious harm to the business of coast
wholesalers and manufacturers.

Will Test New Shells.

The United States army will make
tests this summer Of new S-inch
shell of novel design, which combines
in itself the qualities of a solid shot
and a shrapnel. In tests which have
been already made excellent results
were obtained, masonry being thrown
to the ground and targets represents
ing artillery completely destroyed.
The solid steel head of the shell con,
tains charge of high explosive,
which is detonated on impact. Back
of this is the shrapnel chamber, con-
tanning 120 bullets and charge of
high explosives. The shrapnel portion
can be timed to explode above a body
of troops, leaving the solid head of the
shell to pass on and strike an inde-
pendent blow.

PARIS STRIKE
FIRMNESS OF GOVERNMENT
HAS MADE IMPRESSION
Postal Employees Are Preparing for
q Hard StruggIe-Want to Be Bet
ter Organized Before Breaking
Away-Last Meeting Is Attended
With Little Enthusiasm-EveryN
thing Awaits the Word of the
Leaders.

Paris, May 10.-Conditions were
favorable for the government in its
controversy with the postal employees,
it was said today, and it was not like
ly a strike would be declared for the
present. The governments firmness
has made deep impression upon the
rank and file and the leaders of the
strike movement may conclude to
postpone the battle until they are
better organized ana prepared for
what would prove to be hard strug-
gle.
A meeting called for today by the
federal committee was attended by
about 1000 persons, but no great en-
thusiasm was shown. A resolution
was adopted to go out at the word
of command in the fight for the REIN
statement of the dismissed employees
and for complete reform in the pos
tai service. Delegate Mccarthy, rep
resenting the English postal en-
ployes, promised the latter's finan-
cial and moral support.
A section of the postal employees is
engaged in exposing alleged scandals
in the telephone service. 1t is charg-
ed that much money has been squan-
dered and especial reference is made
to purchases in the United States to
the plant destroyed when
the telephone exchange was burned
last year,
The various unions in the Seine de-
partment have called a meeting for
Wednesday to decide what steps shall
be taken to help the postal employees
in case of a strike to counterbalance
the aid offered to the government by
and employers in general.
