 Parker vs. Bouse.
 Again we have met the enemy and We are theirs. Last Sunday all Parker was at siXes and sevens won dering if Bouse dared to show her nine on the especially prepared arena for their slaughter. Telegrams early in the morning stated that the ball. busters of Bouse were coming in au- tomobiles, and things settled down for business. When 2:30 D. m. ar rived and no one from Bouse showed up the bloodthirsty invincibles be- came uncomfortable and the scrubs had to take the diamond in order to keep them from killing each other. The excellent new grandstand, with seating capacity of something less than 5000, was well filled, and the audience was applauding the scrubs" to a fare-you-well for the way they were handling the invincibles, when somebody in the crowd yelled, Here they come" Everybody got busy. Seeing no autos, the sky was rub bered" for flying machines. and in Fthat direction nothing was doing At last a black object was pointed out up the railroad track and, sure huff, there they were coming down one per cent grade, pumping a hand car as though old Nick was af ar,1 hungry, the boys, with Mrs. Fuller, wife of the captain of the team, fell into the arms of their friends in waiting, who took them to dinner.
 The game was called at about 4 D. m. Trouble was experienced in selecting an umpire, but finally Will mot Pentland, captain of the Parker nine, was agreed upon, he promis ing to render decisions regardless of his relation to the home team.
 The visitors lineup was as fol- lows: Strang, c; Scott, D; Carri gan, ID; Fuller, 2b;. Graham. ss; King, 3b; Brown, If; Hoffman, Of; Chappo, If.
 Following. were Parker's players and positions: Strover. 1b; Scotty, If: Dickson, ss; Hardwick, c: Mur- phy. cf; Crabb. 3b: McKelvey, 2b; Riddle, If; Graves, p.
 The visitors were first up and Strang, went to the bat, struck a light ihfield hit and was put out at first base. Scott followed and received the same treatment Carrigan came next and hit safe to first. Fuller fol- lowed Carrigan and famed, which re- tired the side. Parker's half sent Sroyer to the bat, who knocked a fly into Fuller's init. Scotty came on, missed the sphere three times and made a run for first The catch CT overthrow first and Scotty footed on to second. Dickson came to bat knocked a swift one to shortstop and was put out at first, but Scotty got safe to third. Hardwick hit safe to left field for a two-bagger, bringing Scotty home. Murphy could do nothing better than walk to first.

Crabb followed, knocked an infield hit and retired the side by failing to reach first.
 swift grounder to Dickson, who shot it over to first in plenty of time. King put a small infield hit in reach | of Graves; likewise did Brown, and the three goose-eggs were duly tal- l lied. Parker came forward with Me- Kelvey, who hit but was unable to reach first. Riddle followed and knocked one straight up, which fell into the capacious init of the catch CT. Then Graves came forward and tapped one directly to the pitcher, which left things in statu quo so far as inning two was concerned.
 Third: Hoffman famed. Chappo hit, but was out at first Strang hit safely, but the third cypher was added by Scott, who placed the ball where it could and did head him off from first.
 Fourth: Carrigan batted to Graves and was out at first. He was fol- lowed by Fuller, who famed. Graham hit for a base and was followed by King, who did likewise, advancing Graham to second. Brown came to the bat and hit safely, which filled the bases. Hoffman knocked a hard drive to center, which brought home Graham and King. Chappo hit a light infield grounder which put him and the side out. Parker led off by Hardwick knocking high foul, which was gathered in by the catch CT. Crabb knocked safe, which sent Murphy to third. McKelvy hit safe. bringing Murphy home and putting Crabb on second. Riddle hit. safely, filling the bases. Graves tapped a light one to the pitcher, who caught Crabb at home in plenty of time to head off Graves at first, making a quick and neat double play
 Fifth: Strang hit a little one to Graves and was put out at first. Scott hit a hot one to shortstop, who made a beautiful one hand catch. Carrigan hit safely. but Fuller con- pleted the three cyphers by batting a light one to the pitcher. Parker's half brought Stover to the plate, who failed to reach first. Scotty followed and famed, and Dickson hit to short stop. who fielded the ball easily to first.
 Sixth: Graham was given a walk King hit safely to first. The ball was thrown over first base and Graham came home. Hoffman famed and Chappo knocked a high fly. which was pulled in by Dickson. King loitered too long between sec ond and third 6nd was put out, re- tiring the side. Parker sent Hard wick to the plate, who dealt a stem winder to left field and reached first. Murphy famed and Crabb hit a short infield grounder and was put out at first; likewise was McKelvy.
 Seventh: Strang, after hitting more than. half dozen fouls, was finally struck out Scott hit a two bagger. Carrigan put a fly into left field. which was taken care of by Riddle. Fuller cracked one to the pitcher, who was too prompt for him

at first. Parker in it's half brought Riddle to the bat who hit but failed to reach first. Graves did the same. Stover hit safely to first and stole second and third and finally home while Scotty went down and out on strikes. This run of Stover's was the best piece of base running pulled off here this year.
 Eighth: Graves retired from the box in favor of McKelvy, with the game so. far a tie. Graham, for Bouse, faced the plate, and was per- mitted to take first base on balls. King hit but fell short, while Graham made second. Here McKelvy un- limbered and famed both Brown and Hoffman. Parker sent Dickson to the plate, who tapped one to the pitcher and was out. Hardwick sent a ''beaut" over shortstop and made first. Murphy hit safe fly and got to first, advancing Hardwick to sec ond. Crabb came up and knocked a two-bagger. Hardwick came home but in doing so it was claimed that he cut third base. A great squabble ensued and while the visitors were doing everything besides playing ball. Murphy sprinted over the home plate and Crabb reached third. The um- pire was watching first and second bases and did not see Hardwicks finish; in fact, did not know that it was Hardwick. Captain Carrigan of Bouse declared Hardwick out and ordered Murphy back to third and Crabb to second, which in the course of some minutes was acquiesced in by the umpire and was so recorded. McKelvy rounded out the inning by landing an infield hit, which was sufficient to bring Murphy home, but not to get him to first.
 Ninth: Disastrous to Parker. Chappo hit safely to first and in the return of the ball, which was poorly handled, he worked himself to third. Strang was struck out, but Scott batted a long fly to left field, which brought Chappo home. Carri- gan followed and got in a safe hit. Fuller walked. Graham put a fly into the outfield, which was poorly handled and very poorly returned, permitting both Scott and Carrigan to score. King tried hard, but re- tired the side with a light hit to pllCueI- EdrhtT last CildHCe brought Riddle to the bat who was hit and proceeded to steal second and third bases most successfully. Graves in turn hit safely to first, but Riddle tried for home and was put out, Graves going on to second. Stover got to first and Graves reached third. Scotty hit to the infield, which was fumbled long enough to let Graves reach home, but Scotty was put out at first. Dickson followed and closed the game by failing to get the ball in the right place to enable him to make first.
 Following is the score by innings: Rouse .......0 o 0 2 o l o O 3-6 Parker ..........1 O 1 0 0 1-5
 The wind was almost a gale the whole of the game, and the players a major portion of the time were en- veloped in dust. Still good ball was

Getting Back to the Present Tense He Tells How the Bouse Team Again Played the River Injuns.
(By Tom Shultz.)

Parker, Ariz., April 5-Frank NJ. Murphy, ArizOna's best citizen by several blocks with the streets and alleys thrown in, visited Parker on Tuesday morning, arriving here in his special train at 6:3O o'clock.
 Mir. Murphy had as special guests B. B. Cheney of New York, John F.. BOal and J. S. Jennings of San Diego. In an official capacity. w. A. Drake, Paul P. Hastings. F. P. Cruice and w. c. Story, all officials of the $. F., P. and P, were also in the company.
 So sudden and so early in the morning was the invasion consum- mated that staid Parker was not aware of their arrival until long after the departure of the special The writer was in bed. a real bed Tn the Parker hotel (glad of the opportunity to announce iD when a friend entered his room, which for divers reasons is never locked. and in an elevated and commanding voice said: For Gods sake, get up; there is some people in town Up We got, and for lack of anything else, We threw little water into our face dOnned our glad rags. and ven- tured forth, remembering all the time the advice of Tom brennan. the Beau Brummel of Parker, that no one here should be astir before S:3O a. m. unless an earthquake was in evidence. As Tom lives in a paper

house we see where he is right, but
 we are digressing.
 Finding the gentlemen at the de-
 pot inspecting Parker's mineral ex-
 hibit, the writer butted in and was
 warmly received by MT. Murphy, who
 at once made us acquainted with MT.
 Cheney and Mir. Boal. Mir Murphy
 was in a jocular mood and in an swer to our question for the early in vasion said: T am trying to get rid
 of my friend Cheney and as soon as I succeed I am coming back to stay away a week In fact, neither statement was given much credence and the gentleman was asked point blank when the continuation of the A. and c. would take place You can say" stated MT. Murphy. that work will begin as soon as possi- ble. Of course, actual construction perhaps will not be begun before early fall, but much preparatory work can be accomplished during the summer months"
 Further conversation was cut short by the pulling out of the train, far ther than the parting shot of Mir. Murphy that this section needed a few live correspondents. The writer pinched himself: was assured that he was alive, and went to breakfast with the question of correspondent open for debate still in mind.
 Nevertheless, the above statement of MT. Murphy is the first so far to appear in print as to the comple- tion of the A. and C. What he says goes, and what he has said will be, and now every one in Parker can rest assured that the A. and C. railroad just as soon as possible is going straight on to Amboy or some point on the main line of the Santa Fe. This horse talk about the line turning down the river to connect with the Southern Pacific is rot Forget it
 Yes, Another statement made by Mir. Murphy was that with the clos ing of the Winkleman gap this line would have the longest lowest aeer cent grade of any road in the west. In that statement alone the future of Parker is assured so far as rail- road influence is concerned. for right here is bound to be a division point machine shops, etc, greater than at any place on either the Santa Fe or the Southern Pacific. With the greatest and swiftest railroad from west to east, with the greatest num-, Der of unreclaimed acres in the United States, with more than al hundred times sufficient water to ir- rigate said land, and last. but not least, every elevation scanned with copper, gold, silver and other min erals, Parker is placed beyond the pale of speculation as to her future. Ad- vertisingi Why, she needs none. There is nothing possible in the course of events that can prevent Parker from becoming not only the largest city in Arizona, but the greatest between Denver and Los An geles. Here. the conditions are as stated, and no one who comes to Par ker but what readily observes the same. When the contamination of

played and by all fairness the game should have been tie at the close of the ninth inning. The umpire, not seeing Hardwick cut third base, could not properly call him out, and if he wished to do so, there was nothing right in forcing Murphy and Crabb back to their bases. Therefore Murphy was entitled to his run and Graves hit would have brought in Crabb Reference is only made here in honest criticism with the hope that the schoolboy tactics practiced in the game last Sunday and the game before at Bouse may not be repeated. Baseball can be played ac- cording to rules in Parker as well as in New York or elsewhere, and pa- irons sf the sport should demand that it is done.
 Sunday evening the visitors were given boat ride by moonlight in the State of Arizona by their hosts, the Parker team. Those who availed themselves of the excursion report that they had a most enjoyable time.
 Next Sunday Bouse will again visit Parker and it is announced that two games, one in the forenoon and the other in the afternoon, will be played.
 Handsome Calendar.
 Hanging on the wall above the writer's desk is a handsome calen- dar, the gift of Henry Balm, the old reliable pump engineer for the A. and C. at Parker. The calendar in itself is striking, from the fact that it portrays the head and bust of an Indian maiden instead of that of the ordinary blonde of the Anglo Saxon. Race cuts no especial figure and mention would not be made if it was not for the fact that there is more or less history connected with the same, or else Sir Henry Balm is the biggest liar on the Colorado river. Mir. Balm says that in the early eighties a Captain Pierce, stationed at Fort Mohave above the needles, was an artist and that he was liberal with his pencil in sketching sany- thing that interested him. At about that time, Princess Catlawhim, daughter of Chief Kickamahana of the Mohaves, was the prettiest squaw that he ever saw on or off any old reservation Captain Pierce sketched her in ink and gave the drawing to Balm. For many years MT. Balm treasured the sketch and admired the original, finally giving the same( the sketch, not the originaD to his friend. George S. Briggs, of Needles. Within the year past a representative of the SchlitZ Brewing company of Milwau- kee saw the sketch, secured the same, and behold, Miss Catlawhim is re- turned to her old lovers, Autographed in the highest style of the printers art on a panel 1Ox40 inches in size.
 Doesn't look much like her now" sighed Henry. as he unrolled the litho and gazed upon her oxide-paint- ed cheeks.
 Isn't she dead?" queried the writer.

April S.-(Special Core spondence of The Republican)--It has been learned that the forest service has under advisement the matter of lOcat- ing a central station in the vicinity of Flagstaff, from which to distribute seedlings, and carry on experiments on a large scale. According to the plan, there is to be in addition to the cen tral station. a number of sub-statiOns. where an acre or two of pine seedlings win be planted each year for a period of five years. The principal object of the forest service in establishing such stations is to arrive at knowledge as to the cause of so many treeless areas within the forests.
