pleted. Marshal Haines has
been looking after the work and
has had to watch careless ones
who set out fires to destroy
trash.
II doesn't seem to be generally
known that permission must first
be obtained from the marshal be-
fore fires can be set out in the
city limits and we therefore call
attention to the fact that such an
ordinance is in force. See the
marshal first and he will give
permission to burn trash if the
place selected does not indanger
property.

CENSUS ENUMERAT0RS.

The men to take the census in
Harvey County have been named,
or at least a part of them have
received their commissions and
given their territory. Those
nomed are: w. Y. King. Frank
P. Gowan, M. l.. Lewis, Robt.
Davey and Leslie Holiday of
Burns; E. j. Catlow. of DEMO;

Mr.. King has Burns and Poi

We have not learned the territory
assigned the others named.
1t would appear that there
should be more enumerators in

GOOD ROADS MEETING,

Judge l.. X. Webster is here
from Portland and will ho'd a
good roads meeting at the court
house this evening at which time
it is the intention to organize a
branch of the good roads move
ment and start immediate work
toward better highways.
Judge Webster has resigned as
Judge of Multnomah county and
will devote his time to this most
worthy cause. He is thoroughly
familiar with the subject and has
had practical experience while
he was county judge. therefore
his hearers may expect some
good, sound information upon
road building tonight.
The building permanent high
ways has been made a science
and is no longer looked upon as
an expense but as an investment
The farmer and business man
realize the necessity of such a
move and Judge Webster will
certainly meet with enthusiastic
support in this movement in
Harvey county. Our past exper-
ience in road building has been
such that we are ready to begin
work right.
Judge Webster has some good,
practical ideas along the line of
road building that appeals to all
public spirited and progressive
citizens and we urge all who can
to be present this evening.

JUDGE WILLIAMS DEAD.

Judge Geo. II. Williams, one
of the most prominent men of
Oregon, died at his home in
Portland last Monday morning.
Of his death the Oregonian says:
With the same serenity that
had marked the latter years of
his long and useful life, Judge
George H. Williams early yester-
day morning passed to the Great
Beyond.
Sunday night, Oregon's Grand
Old Man had retired at the usual
hour after a quiet day spent in
good health and spirits. At the
rising hour the empty tenement
of clay was found reclining as he
had gone to sleep. the face as
placid as that of a slumbering
child. There was no evidence of
a struggle as the spirit left the
body, no indication that there
had been the slightest degree of
suffering. Judge Williams had
died in the manner he had often
wished by simply slipping
away"
Looking back over recent years,
the business associates and init
mate friends of Oregon's great
statesman were more than ever
prone to marvel yesterday at the
manner of man who passed away
so peacefully in the early dawn.
To live to the age of 81, to
spend more than 65 years con-
tinuously in the harness, to
have an unusually full complete
ment of honors, to be associated
to the last with best beloved
friends, to be a figure of pride in
the community and an inspira-
ton for youth, to preserve the
precious prize of keen mentality
to the closing hours of life-am-
bitions that may come to all but
be enjoyed by the scantest few
all these were the lot of Judge
George H. Williams.
Member of the United States,
Attorney-General of the United
States, Chief Justice of Oregon's
Supreme Court, member of the
Alabama Claims Commission,
Mayor of Portland-these and
other honorable posts were held
by Judge Williams in the course
of his long life.
Last month Judge Williams at
tended two banquets, at both of
which he was a guest of honor.
On March II the Multnomah Bar
Association rendered a banquet
to Judge Williams and the men,
bers of the Supreme Court. At
this banquet the aged jurist re-
sponded to the toast THE Nestor
of the Oregon Bar.
On March 26, in honor of his
87th birthday, a banquet was
given at the Portland Hotel un-
der the auspices of the Young
Mems Republican Club. Here,
as at the previous banquet, Judge
Williams spoke. Here he deliv-
cred his last address in public.
1t was in this address that Judge
Williams spoke so eloquently
of his declining days. There he
expressed the calm content with
which he looked forward to the
final day so much nearer than
those who listened thought.

REGARDING LIVE srocL MARKET.

The following was published
in the last issue Of the Rural
Spirit and was contributed by
VIM. Hanley:
"The stock yard problem is
one that should not be further
neglected either by producer or
consumer as the question Of ex-
istance and the chance to obtain
the same with the least resist
ence of high development de-
pends upon every mans choice
of life and the transfer of the
amount of product to yield the
easiest profit must always be
based upon the exchange Of peo-
pie from city and town life to
country life as profit must seem
to be the most easily obtained.
Now the stock yard is strictly
a buyers market and is so in
tended, and the seller must take
what is given to him; and is
handled on only one principal,
that large prices can only be got
on light receipts and small prices
on large receipts.
''The stock yards are controlled
by an exchange and to become a
member the newcomer must be
elected and take an obligation of
loyalty to the principal of the
system and cannot be either a
producer or consumer, so If there
is a trust in the combination OF
the packers, it is the stock yards
exchange, and from the stand
point Of the shipper and producer
there are fewer men who have
beat the game than those who
have been successful against the
roulette wheel.
''The base of the value of the
product, like the meat supply,
should not be based upon what
is in the yards on any given day,
but what there is in q given area
of country, based upon rate of
railroad haul and there should be
no influence that should take
away this right of setting the
price. The biggest principal
that the consumer is interested
in is that the supply is ample in
the country and the producer is
assured of a profit over the cost
of production. There is no SEN
sible reason why the packer and
yard systems should put in a
hold-up game, where product is
transferred in form of market,
by an agent when it has passed
through his hands and in my
judgement and experience there
is only one place for the paoducer
to sell; and that is at home,
where all questions of equality
and price are settled and those
rejected are in the best market
there. Now do not want to
appear to be against the local
packer or stock yard man, as
they are all good fellows and our
packers are the best on earth.
with a few exceptions, where
commercial profits cross good
quality. But this is a national
wide system and has always been
in my opinion, unjust, and it
certainly should be broken up as
the big principles of development
depend upon it, as the system of
marketing must be fair and hon.
est and stand on a sound princi-
pie to produce the product.

The pitcher ought to work carefully

Many times just as start to pitch my

out quickly and perhaps break up a
hit and run or a steal.
The young pitcher ought to study
such points; keep his eyes and ears

ters hit fly balls, provided the pitcher
can keep cool and keep thinking all
the while.
Young pitchers ought to study pitch
Ing to the corners of the plate, for
such pitching wins. Modern pitching
is, think, more psychological study
than physical exercise, and curves
and speed, while necessary, are not
the chief elements in success. The
real science of modern pitching lies
in mixing them up" and never pitch
ing twice alike to the same batter. l
have a theory that much Of the study
of batters is, wasted study. Some
pitchers put it down as hard ana
fast rule that certain batter cannot
hit a certain kind of a ball. Then they
pitch that kind steadily. Soon the bat
ter's weakness is cured and he hits
hard. Mixing them up and keeping
the batter guessing all the time what
is coming pays much better. No bat
ter can hit hard and consistently on
mixed-up pitching. for he always Is on
balance when he hits.
try to get batters to hit balls
when they are not prepared, and some
times is seems to me they are not as
successful in hitting balls pitched ex-
actly where they like best to hit them
than on other kinds. They are not
expecting the ball to be pitched there.
and are tempted into hitting late.
Pitching, however, is chiefly the
study of batters. No one can tell q
young pitcher how he should pitch.
He can learn the curves, but the rest
he must have naturally, or work out
by hard study and practise.

Winning games, from the standpoint

Perhaps the worst mistake pitcher
makes is in trying to strike out bat

each season by this alone. Control. Of
course, IL the vital element In pitch

pitch the ball over for strikes often
enough to keep "out Of the hole" for
when pitcher is compelled to pitch
straight balls, and the batter knows
he Is compelled to put it over. the bat
ter has the pitcher almost at his

study each batter separately, and not
only know what the man can do. but
what he is likely to do under existing
circumstances. Some batters hit well
when nothing depends upon it, others
are dangerous only when the situa-

when the situation Is desperate, be

think one of the big helps to q
pitcher In winning is confidence
confidence in himself and in the men
behind him. 1t has an enect upon
everything the pitcher does.
I think win because OF mixing
speed with a fast curve, and l plane
the curve for the greater part OF
such success as ! have had. l have
had managers and infielders tell me
about q million times I did not know
how to use them, but on the average
] think the results showed.
There is an immense amount OF
luck in pitching, and no matter what
a pitcher has he needs luck in addt-
ton to It in order to win. It Is In this
that confidence in the team behind
him helps the pitcher so much. II
pitcher is in trouble and can feel that
he can make the batter hit as hard as
he pleases and he saved, he escapes
scores of times. If he lacks that con-
f1dence and tries to do it all himself,
the result usually is bases on balls
and defeat.
Pitchers lose many games through
working too hard, especially during
the early stages of the game. and try
ing to do too much. try to save my
self for the finish, and sometimes sue
coed through pitching very hard to
the first batter up in an inning and, If
he is retired, pitching easier to the
others and making them hit bad balls
If possible. Anyhow, try to make
them hit, and to outguess them on
each ball, keeping the overland and
underhand fast balls well mixed up
with the curves and slow ones. ana
using the curve sparingly.
Another big help to me in winning
has been in helping the infelders out
as much as possible. believe pitchers
ought to learn to field and to practise
that part of the game all the time. !
