A story comes from Novelty, in the
Snoqualmie valley south Of Monroe, Of
a big hunt that the Gamer brothers had
in that neighborhood a few days ago.
A man was riding through a lonely
stretch Of woods near Novelty when a
big cougar attacked his horse, but was
beaten of and horse and rider escaped
unhurt. The Gamer brothers, well
known timber cruisers and hunters,
were told OF the adventure, and started
out with guns and dogs. They got the
cougar and also two bear before the
day was ver.-Index News.

FIRST CONSERVATION CONGRESS
Meets in Seattle Aug. 26-27-2S - The
President to Address the
Convention

The first National Conservation Con-
gress Of the United States will be held
in the auditorium OF the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific exposition, at Seattle, on the
Doth, 9th and 18th Of August, 1909.
Arrangements for the convention are
being perfected by the executive board
of the Washington Conservation Asso-
citation, comprising some of the most
representative citizens of the state. II
is planned to make Of that meeting the
most interesting gathering Of conserva-
tionists since the convention Of gov
errors, at the national capital, when
former President Theodore Roosevelt
launched the campaign for concerted
action of states and nations in conserv-
ing natural resources.
The state Legislature, in extraordin-
airy session, has passed a joint resolu-
ton, inviting the president of the
United States to attend the congress
and deliver an address. This has been
supplemented by the governor and the
chairman OF the state conservation com
mission and approved by the various
commissions and committees and the
joint committee between states and
nations. 1t is understood that the
president will accept the invitation and
add one of his characteristic speeches
TO the conservation literature of the
day. The officials Of the A.-Y.-P.
exposition are making preparations for
entertaining many Of the leading exec
.utives and dignitaries of state and ma
ton.
An elaborate program is being pre-
pared and will be distributed to those
intending to participate in the several
sessions. In addition to President
Taft, speeches are expected from the
following well known gentlemen: Hon.
R. A. Ballinger, secretary Of the inte-
rior; Hon. James Wilson, secretary Of
agriculture; Clifford Pinchot, chairman
of joint conservation committee; F. H.
Newell, chief OF reclamation service;
DR.. w. J. MCGEE, secretary OF the
White House conservation conference
of governors; John A. Ransdell, presi-
dent national rivers and harbors con
gress; Dr.. Chas. w. Elliott, of Harvard;
Prof. Irving Fisher, Of Yale; John Nit
chell, vice-president American Fedora
ton of Labor; Seth Low, president
National Civic Federation; and govern
ors of states and members of state com
missions.
Jas. J. Hill, the great railroad builder
dIlu III WCobOAA
on land and sea, will be invited to give
the congress the benefit of his long
years Of practical experience in con-
serving Of numerous resources. J. E.
Chilberg, president of the A.-Y.-P. ex-
position, will welcome the visitors and
discuss the many features Of conseva-
ton displayed in the numerous exhibits
Of that western wonderland. Frank H.
Lamb, OF the Washington state COM
mission, will introduce the delegates to
the great possibilities Of forestry on the
Pacific Coast. The subjects OF irriga-
ton, dry farming, soils, minerals and
grasses are to receive proper attention
and special sessions Of the congress are

DEADLOCK at Oakland

They battled for u innings across
the bay in the morning without result,
the score standing all at the finish.
In the thirteenth San Francisco had a
man on every base and Williams was
up and Carson had already tossed three
wide ones at him. This made 1t look
like San Franchises victory sure, when
the Portland tossers began to stall for
the time limit.
The Beavers realized that they must
use strategy in order to save them
selves. so they started right in and
used all within their power. The out
fieIders ran in to crab with the umpires,
the infielders toyed with the ball and
the battery tied and united its shoe
laces. The large crowd of fans waxed
indignant, but this did not stop the
Beavers. They were bound to carry
their point and they did carry it too.

minutes of staIling and the game ended

take a fall out of Johnson here
This is the way the two champions
size up each other. Ketchel has a more
strenuous task on his hands, for the
reason that he is carded to fight a very
tough opponent before he swaps
punches with the heavy weight cham
pion. The same heavy weight cham
pion is waiting around for Ketchel, and
perchance any other likely one whom
they can dig up in the meantime. Ac-
cording to his own admission he does
not bar any man in the world, and this
goes for all.
One of the first men to get hold of
Johnson upon his arrival was Jim Cof-
froth. The Mission street promoter has
had the big. black champion in view
for his September date for the last
three months, and the only thing that
has stood in the way was an opponent.
This same opponent is still to be un-
covered or discovered, but Coffroth be-
lieves that he will be successful.
Johnson undoubtedly will prove big
card in this city or hereabouts, no
matter who he is pitted against. But
the task of finding an opponent for him
will be no easy one. and Coffroth prob
ably realizes this by now. He has been
securing the country for the last
month to find a suitable opponent for
big Jack, but no answers have come
from the explored regions.
Nothing would suit me better than
match with Kaufman" says Johnson.
I'm fact he is the man l am looking
for. He made the announcement some
months ago that he wanted to fight
me. but when / agreed to come out here
and meet him he quickly backed down.
I don't understand his system at all.
Why did he challenge me if he does
not want to fight?
II was in Indiana when Manager
Hester of the Mission club sent me a
wire offering me a match with Kauf-
man. l understood that Kaufman had
already accepted and / wired that /
would be right out. But in the mean
time Kaufman ran out on the match.
I understand that Jim Coffroth has
made him several offers in the mean
time, but he has turned them all down.
Il think that Ketchel is foolish to
fight Langford before he fights me.
Here is the proposition: If Langford
beats him he will not be the great card
to send in against me in October.
whereas If I beat him then he can go
back and fight Langford, for the rea-
son that he can still make the middle
weight limit. This is his out, and it's
the best answer.

Cockerilrs, in Emeryville, either to-

STOCKTON. Aug. 22.-Stockton was
defeated twice by Fresno here today.
The fans were disgusted and left the
bleachers and grandstand during the
morning game because OF the umpiring
of Moore. Both teams suffered. but
Stockton was most unfortunate in hav-
ing the third strike declared on Spencer
and Mertes when bases were occupied.
Hits were evenly divided, but Loucks
received the best support.
The afternoon game was very poorly
attended. Many stayed away because
of the poor umpiring of Moore. Mertes'

bet any more money my manager. Mr..
Little, will accommodate them. 1 am
in this game on the square. l have
not tried to bluff anybody. and 1 don't
intend to- either. All 1 want is a
chance to fight some good men,"
Johnson looks about the same as he
did when he was here about two years
ago, though he is possibly a bit more
f1eshy He was nattily attired in a
brown suit, Panama hat, black tie and
patent leather shoes. Minus his dia-
mond, he would bear a closer resemb-
lance to a George camp meeting evan
gelist than to the champion of the
heavy weight brigade.
One of the first things that the big
black champ remarked was the won
derful change that came over the city
since he last saw it. He was on the
square with this talk, too, for his eyes
fairly rolled as he gazed about him and
observed the numerous changes. The
only thing he regretted was the death
of the racing game. This seemed to
crush his spirits.
Ketchel was greeted by Manager
Willus Britt upon his arrival and the
pair went around town showing them
selves to all comers. Ketch is the same
free and easy going chap. He looks
strong and rugged and is well tanned
up. As usual he leaves all his fight
ing talk to his manager and the man
ager seems as confident as ever that
his man will trim Langford.
Britt and KetcheI will leave for New
York today or tomorrow. They have
not decided as yet. Neither seems to be
worrying about the time. for they are
evidently confident that Ketch will get
away with the Boston black without
serious trouble. Ketchel would rather
talk about deer hunting or trout fishing
than prize lighting.

that time the Beaver pitcher had them
