LfAVfNWORTH WINS THE SERIES
Defeat the Seattle Nctors In the final
Game BY Score of 6 to 3. Season to
Close Soon

In the last game of the series the
Seattle Victors met their second defeat
Tuesday. The winning Of Monday s
game by the visitors put the team on
an equal footing.
The way the Seattle team started
out it looked as if they were going to
have things their own way The
Champs had their usual blowups in the
first inning and three scores were an
nexed. But that was as far as they
got. In the next inning the Leaven-
worth boys sent three runs across the
plate, tying the score. One more
came in the third, one in the fourth,
and the final in the eighth. Brown
was in excellent form, allowing only
FIVE hits, all OF which were scattered.
Brown pitched the opening game
Sunday against the Victors and was
pounded for ten hits, but they were
only able to secure three runs. The
Champs likewise found Thompson for
ten hits, scoring four runs.
Arnold started Mondays contest
but only lasted six innings, and Miller
was called in from short and again de-
monstrated his ability as a pitcher.
But it was too late. The Champs
tried repeatedly to get in the lead but
their efforts were in vain. Up to the
ninth inning the score stood 7 and 3,
when the Champs had rally and two
more scores were added.

NEWS OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Thomas Burke Delivers PhiIipic Against
Progressive Republicans President Op-
posed to Recall Of Judges

Washington, D. c., July 3--Secre-
tary Fisher of the Interior Department,
who succeeded Mr.. Ballinger last
March, has issued an order effectively
disposing Of the famous Cunningham
Alaskan coal land claims. These great
property rights have been disallowed.
Through these claims the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate had planned 10
extend their vast interests in Alaska,
and thereby obtain control Of what are
said to be the most valuable coal fields
in the world. These are the claims
that brought about the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy and the subse-
quent retirement from the public ser
vice of the chief forester and a number
of his assistants. Attorneys for the in
terested parties now threaten an appeal
to the courts; but this, it is said, must
rest upon some point of law, as the
findings OF facts by the department
cannot be attacked.

entitled "All a Mistake and was

The play was presented with the

venworth, and will doubtless attract
some good troupes. The Barrier" a
dramatization from Rex Beach's popular
novel, will be presented tomorrow night.

that Leavenworth gave her visitors.
The sleeping accommodations OF the
town were taxed TO their utmost, and,
it is even said that some were unable
to find beds. However, on this score
there was no complaint.
In the 100-yard foot race there were
two entries. Roy Arnold, one Of our
ball players, winning first place and R.
w. Ellenthorp taking second money.
The tug OF war in which six OF Cash

1t is matter of congratulation that
the three-day celebration passed off so
pleasantly. Nothing occurred to inter
fere with any ones pleasure. The
weather was ideal-not too hot but
just warm enough.
The big event, which was the series
OF three ball games between our big
team and the Victors of Seattle, resulted
in our boys winning two out of the
three. In the game with our junior
nine and the Cashmere boys, played on
the morning of the Fourth, the latter
were the victors. A report of the games
in the vernacular OF the diamond will
be found elsewhere in this paper.
The crowd that attended the ball
game on the Fourth was estimated at
fifteen hundred. Every seat in the
grandstand and the bleachers benches
was filled and all the available standing
room was taken. 1t was the largest
crowd that has ever been on the
ground.
The neighboring towns of Peshastin,
Cashmere and Wenatchee were well
represented. II there were any kick

Judge Burke of the State of Wash
ington has been in the Capital and has
decried in the public press, through
interviews, against the progressive ele-
ment in Republican politics. In the
course Of his remarks upon this ques-
ton, it is interesting to note that Mr..
Burke said: Let US pray with
faith and power that this condition
shall have passed from US by the time
the Republican party in convention as
sembled shall have renominated Will
liam H. Taft for president, and gotten
back to good, old-fashioned Republi-
can doctrine of the Abraham Lincoln
William Mckinley sort. 1t was good
enough once, and that once was in the
most glorious eras Of the republic; so
let US try it again

NORTHWEST NEWS LETTER


That ships OF our navy may have
a fuel supply close to the Puget Sound
Navy Yard, the Standard Oil Company
has announced plans for the expendi-
ture Of 100000 for the largest stor-
age station for refined oil products on
the Pacific coast. The government
has determined that all battleships con-
structed hereafter shall be oil burners,
and would have made the change long
ago had bases of fuel supply been avail
able. Soon the coast will have three
big stations, the Puget Sound depot to
be on Al acres of ground at Richmond
Beach, one at San Francisco, and
a third to be located on the Southern
California Coast. The Puget Sound
district has come to use close to 300,-
900 barrels of oil month, mostly from
California. To supply the gasoline
market is the great oil problem Of the
day, and Standard is not only going to
Alaska, where 100000 barrels of light
oil have been contracted for, but also
to Peru, South America, where new
fields are being developed.

From this time forth, there should
be no more dissension in Seattle for
t the hammer was burned with public
exercises last Saturday. This ceremony
was sort of forerunner for the Potlatch,
to get everybody to pulling together.
1t was a distinct novelty, promoted by
the Publicity Club and attracted con-
siderable attention. Notwithstanding,
an effort is being made to organize an
other recall election. Mayor Dilling,
the recall victor over H. c. Gill, and
six councilmen are prospective victims.
AS the matter is being organized by a
lot of political mal-contents, it is hard
ly probable that it will succeed.

Old potatoes have gone to $40 ton
on the Seattle market. This record
was established last week and consti-
tutes higwater market. Because OF
the scarcity of the local product more
than a hundred carloads of spuds have
been shipped in the past fortnight.
All this, in the face OF the fact that
Washington has thousands of acres of

toes, lying idle. All produce reports
are to the effect that the market is
holding up well. Commissioner of

The question of direct election Of
senators seems TO be in rather critical
state. The position Of the Republicans
in both houses has been that the fed
eral government should retain control
of the election OF senators by direct
vote, the same as is done in the case
Of members Of the lower house. The
Southern Democrats, however, who fear
interference on the part of the Govern
ment, on account OF the race question,
have been successful in passing bill
through the lower body retaining con-
troll in the hands OF the state authorities.
The bill has passed both houses, but
until there is some sort OF an agreement
regarding federal or state control ii can
not become a law. In the meantime
the right of the dear people to make
United States senators is hanging high
and dry, while senatorial election scan
dals coming from the legislatures never
were more plentiful than now.

STATE CAPITAL NEWS LETTER
Cost of County Government - Only One
Temporary Certificate to Teaoh-Indus-
trial Insurance Law Before the Court
Olympia, July 6, 1911.

A statement showing the amount of
fees collected in each county auditor S
office in the state; the cost Of running
the office, including extension OF tax
rolls, and the profit or loss made in each
office has been compiled by the State
Bureau of Inspection from reports sent
in from the various counties. This
statement shows that in Chelan county
the office was run al a profit in both
1909 and 1910, but that the profit was
greater in 1909 than it was in 1910.
The amout of fees collected in 1909
was S6516.4 and the expense of run
nigh the office was $4087.72, leaving
a profit OF $2431.67; while in 1910
the fees collected were $7649.05, the
expenses of the office were $5745.62,
or a profit of $1939,43.
On the whole the auditors made a
much better showing last year than in
1909, as eight counties which showed
a loss in 1909 showed a profit in 1910.
Grant county was organized in 1909
and therefore did not appear in the re-
port; but in 1910 its auditors Office
was operated at profit of 9.13.
In King county the showing was much
better in 1910 than in the year before,
as the profit was $8469 in 1910 as
against a profit in 1909 of $2968. A
big gain is shown in Spokane county,
the profit increasing from $12, 485. IA
in 1909 to $17,643.58 in 1910. In
Pierce county the loss was much more
in 1910 than in 1909, being $2729.68
and $52.34 respectively.

II has been made very clear to the
country and to the senate leaders that
President Taft is not likely to approve
any tariff revision plans at this time,
and he is bringing all the power OF the
administration to bear toward defeating
any attempt to amend the Canadian re-
ciprocity bill. He has also given it out
that he believes it to be i'll advised to
attempt al this time any independent
revision of the tariff schedules. The
suggestion that the Republican progress
sives and the Democrats may frame a
new tariff bill is met with the condition
that such a measure will doubtless draw
forth a veto from President Taft.

Congress does not always listen at
tentively to what the president has to
say about public matters, as evidenced
in the acts of the senate committee on
territories with reference to Arizona and
New Mexico. The president has en-
phatically declared time and again his
opposition to the recall Of judges as
embodied in the Arizona constitution,
and has left little doubt in the minds of
most people that he will veto such a
proposition. In the face of this plain
talk by the executive, the house has
passed a bill known to be Objectionable
to the president, and the committee on
territories of the senate has recommend
ed concurrence in the house resolution.
