EASTERN SLOPE UMPIRE.

The ball team left this morning on
the 1880 special and were in fine
fettle for the coming games but were
also expectant of the hardest fought
game of their career. There will be
no fear as to whether or not they
will be given a square deal by the
umpire as this question has been
settled by a dispatch from Denver
which says
Don Means will leave this evening
for Glenwood Springs, where he goes
to umpire two games between Grand
junction and Glenwood Springs base
ball teams. So far this season the
teams have played two games, one in
each of the towns. both won by
Grand Junction. Last year the Glen
wood Springs nine was too strong
for the other. AS there has been
some wrangling over the umpires
this year, the arrangements agreed
upon selecting an outside man for the
two games that are to be the culmin-
alton of the early part of the season.
Mr. Means was agreed upon by both
captains, his record for fairness ap-
pealing to them. The games will be
played tomorrow and Sunday at
Glenwood Springs.

and with his hitting ability should be
tower of strength. Aside from this
change, the men are the same.
Glenwood will fight for this game
as for none other during the season.
1t wants to win from the Junction
because that city has the only real
high class team in western Colorado,
aside from Glenwood. and the cham
pionship rests between the two. And
then the Glenwood hitters are anN-
ious to show Red" Toner that he
isn't SO much after all.
The game will be called early-at
2:30. 1t will be preceded by parade
of the two teams and citizens in autos
and carriages. A band will be in at
tendance and all are invited to join.

The park board yesterday received
a letter from NJ. ID. Pedcock of Pyra-
mid, Routt county, Colorado, stating
that he had been successful in cap
turing two young Rocky mountain
sheep, which will at once be brought
here and placed in the zoo at City
park. The park board commissioned
Ppdcock to secure six sheep, but
consider that they are fortunate in
having obtained these two. The ex-
posure and hardship to which the
captors of these young animals were
subjected was very great. They were
forced to endure the worst climatic
conditions in the almost inaccessible
mountain haunts of the sheep until
the mother animal left the young to
shift for themselves. The two spe-
cimens, one male and one female. are
barely old enough to walk, and this
accounts for their capture. for had
they been a few weeks older. they
would have been sufficiently fleet of
foot to have distanced pursuit

Tie YaIIovvsfeas so LayHe IL Has
Net Yet Been Fully Explored
While several of the great cities OF
tho United States are disputing for
the honor OF possessing the largest or
most beautiful park, 1t must not be
forgotten that they all pale into In
significance before the national parks
which the government has put aside
for public use.
In 1872 Congress located the Yellow
stone Park, which is so large that It
has not yet been fully explored. 1t Is
situated at the source of the Yellow
stone river, and embraces an area of
60 miles long by So miles broad, and
includes the lake from which the river
rises, a sheet of water 7,7SS feet above
the level of the sea. and the Grand
Canyon, an abyss of 5000 feet in per-
pendicular height. The other wonders
are so many that no complete descrip-
ton of the region has ever been at
tempted.
This park is so wonderful and ex-
tensive as to be unrivaled, although
there are three other national parks
which are certainly worthy of notice.
They are all situated In California and
were only recently located so that
they are but little known.
The largest is the Yosemite Park 1t
contains $4,000 acres, exclusive of
the Yosemite grant to the state OF
California, which is situated in the
middle of the park. The park is prin-
cipally in Tuolumne and Marinosa
counties with small section In Mono
and Fresno counties.
Next comes the Sequoia National
Park, lying wholly in Tulare county,
and containing 161, 2S0 acres This
includes the giant trees of which we
hear so much. and the maintenance
and preservation of which is sought
by the reservation. o late years
there has been a great destruction OF
these magnificent trees, and it is quite
certain they could never be replaced
If once destroyed
The smallest of the new nationa
parks is the Gen. Grant Park of 2,50(
acres, lying partly in Fresno and part
ly in Tulare county, but it contains
d number Of natural curiosities worth,
of preservation.

MEANS A Big Saving
RAILROAD Commission ORDER
In WASHINGTON STATE.
Freight Rates on Grain Are Ordered
Greatly Reduced Tor This Year
Wheat Shippers Gamer by Nearly
Half Million Dollars Year-Order
Based on Enormous Railroad Profits.

Olympia.-The state railroad commits
SION mas issued an order commanding
the Northern Pacific, except on its
W ashlngton Central branch, to reduce
freight rates on grain to 81 IL per cent
OF the rates in eneet june 80 this year.
1hls is estimated to mean a saving to
wheat shippers OF from 100000 to
$oOO,OOO per annum.
This Is the order in the famous
Cunningham complaint which has
been pending before the commission
Tor several years. The reduction is
based on the findings that the North
ern Pacific is making more than
$l,OO0,O00 year profit on exclusively
state business over and above per
cent annual revenue on it's invest
ment.
The 0. r. & N. is expected to meet
the cut as it relates to competitive
territory of that road and the North
ern Pacific. The decision in the case
of the Great Northern and the Wash
ington Central branch of the Northern
Pacific is to be handed down later.
The opinion in the case gives il
detail the methods used by the com
mission in arriving at their decision
and is replete with data showing thu
enormous growth in Northern Pacific
business. In the last five years The
records show the earnings of tina
company have about doubled.
The new rate means a reduction o.
the freight rates to coast points OF
grain ranging from almost one an'
one-half cents a bushel in the Spo
kane and Palouse country to a littl
more than one cent bushel iron
Mabton and Prosser. The reduction
from the Walla Walla zone is almos
one and one-quarter cents.

only for serious cause. So Irwin, star
infielder had to devise some way OF
beating his injuries. He consulted
glover. They took buckskin driving

From the first time he took a ground

could get away his throw quicker than
any other man on the infield. John
Montgomery Ward, of the New York
team, observed this. With monumen-

one hooted him for his cowardice-

In one respect this improvement
came in the very nick OF time. In.

and argument. the pitchers had got
their liberty. They could now throw
the ball overland and free-armed-

catchers took up the newfangled glove
with enthusiasm. Manufacturers
made them larger and larger. but still
! the fingered glove did not quite serve
the purpose. In 1883, Jim White, q
} third baseman. sewed leather plate
on the face OF his infielder's glove
c and got thereby good results with hot
G liners. Immediately the big catcher 6
