In May, the sun hung red and round
over a distant unknown land along
the Rio Grande. In that country, no
iron trails as yet had come. The mag.
ic Of the wire. so recently applied to
the service of man, was as yet there
unknown. Word travelled slowly by
horses and mules and carts. There
came small news from that far-off
country. half tropic, covered with
palms and crooked dwarfed growth of
mesquite and chaparral. The long.

advance across this wild region TO the
Rio Grande. Thus did SNUG James
Polk keep his promises!
Among these tangled mesquite
thickets ran sometimes long bayous
made from the overflow of the greater
rivers-resacas, as the natives call
them. Tall palms sometimes grow
along the bayous, for the country Is
half tropic. Again, on the dryer
ridges, there might be taller detached
trees, heavier forests-palo alto, the
natives call them. In some such place
as this. where the trees were tall

OF THE LOCAL
BALL GAMES

The Merchants and the P. R. L. P.
teams of the Twilight league will
open the league season at the Will
lamette grounds at $50 this evening,
provided the weather mar keeps off
the rain during the afternoon. The
teams had planned to play the open
ing game last Friday evening, but
rain spoiled their plans. The good
attendance at last Sundays game of
the big league, despite the threaten
ing weather, has given the Twilight
members courage to attempt the open
ing game tonight, in spite of damp
weather.
Manager Evans, of the Merchants
team, today said the game would be
pulled off if the weather was any
where near fair. If the game is post
poned again the next attempt will not
be made until Monday evening, July
8, when the P. R. L. P. boys will
meet the Y. NJ. c. A. boys. The post
poned game with the street car boys
(that is, if tonight's game is post
poned) probably will be played Fri
day evening, and all postponed games
on the schedule probably will be
played on a Friday evening, between
regular schedule dates. Twelve
games will be played during the sea-
son. Captain Fleming, of the P, R.
L. P. team today gave out the sched-
ule for the season. If the weather
permits, the opening game will be
played this evening between the
Merchants and the P. R. L. P, teams,
The remt.nde; of the schedule is as
follows: July 8, P. R. L. P. and Y,
