expired within five inutes.
Mr.. Fretwell was a Confederate veteran

uniform. and he camped with the boys
and had as good a time as any OF them.

was of unusual Importance as a victory
for the Norfolk pair would have tied the
score in matches, but the local men we're

were declared the winners, 4-6, Go and
Go.
The local men worked with better eff
fectiveness after losing the first set.
Reeds service seemed to play into Doyle
stroke SO that he repeatedly aced the
visitor by smashing straight through his
service as Reed attempted to come up
to the net Then Moorehead smashed
pass after pass by Angler. until the set
score was balanced. 1t was in the third
and last set that the home pair displayed
their forcing tactics by making returns
that compelled the opposing players to
get out OF position, thus leaving openings
through which they repeatedly scored.
They further forced matters on the re-
turns by cross counting the ball to the
alleys with sharply played shots that left
hardly an opportunity for return.

James ]. Hili, railroad magnate
and empire builder, made his second
visit to the city yesterday afternoon,
and, when he, together with HIS par
ty, returned to Portland in special
car over the Oregon Electric Rail-
road, which road was rectntly ac,
quired by the Hill interests, he ex-
pressed himself as being even more
pleased and impressed with the city
and the marvellous country back Of II
than at his first visit.
The party consisted of Mr.. Hill
W. II. Dunswoody, president of the
board of director of the Burlington
system; President Stevens, of the Or
egon Electric and e. c. Cook and
George Harris, both prominent bank
ers of Minneapolis. 1t arrived at
3:15 in the afternoon, and was met
by delegation of citizens and busi-
ness men. After an informal recep-
tion the party was taENn for an au-
tomobile drive about the city and
adjacent country, and, upon its re-
turn, It journeyed back to Portland.

During the Automobile drive, and
In talks with citizens and business
men Of the city, Mr.. Hill took occaa-
sion TO express his appreciation Of
the wonderful resources of the state
of Oregon in general, and particular
ly with relation to the Willamette
valley. He expressed his admiration
as to the fruit raised here, and also
as to other products. and stated they
were commanding attention all over
the United States. The exhibit car
of the Great Northern, he stated, was
doing wonderful work for Oregon.
Thousands Of people were viewing
them every day at Boston and Pitts
burg, he stated, and he predicted that
the publicity given Oregon products
by the means OF. the cars would be
certain TO bring great returns to all
portions of the state, in the way of
immigration and investments by cap
ital.
He laid special stress upon the
fact that the state of Oregon has the
soil. and maintained that was its
strongest asset. In other sections. of
The country, he stated, they were not
fortunate enough to be able to boast
of such soil, but. for all that, the peo-
pie were developing 1t, and fabulous
prices were being paid for land. In
he course of time. he maintained.
he purchasers of this fabulously
'rlced land would learn that the in

would operate as a setback to the

handed for 1t was reasonable one.
