Chapman Bats With Piece of
Binder Tongue.
1T Makes Difference When the
Team Loses.
HENDRICKS GUESS is WRONG
Kaws Average Eight Hits per
Game at Home.
Pitching Staff viii Show
Strength in Two Weeks.

Sunday in the sixth, Manager Gear
sent in Kusel, an untried man, since
the beginning of the season at least,
and when Kusel found the going
rough, Cocreham relieved him. The
Kaws won and it was a fine game.
Monday Cocreham found the going
rough, was succeeded by Wainwright.
Wainwright failed and Rose was sent
in He Jared little better. And we
have been informed by one or two per-
sons strictly on the quiet, of course,
that it was a "-- of a way to man
age a ball team" And there you are.
The war club with which Chap
man hits so hard down the left field
foul line, has a history. For many
years it was seasoned as it served for
the tongue on a wheat binder. 1t was
waiting for Chapman to grow up.
Meanwhile the catcher was working
with the Severance nine" At last
he sought a new stick and the piece of
binder tongue was found, dressed and
oiled. 1t weighs 81 ounces and has
helped the backstop pound his way
into class A ball.
Tt seems a safe guess that Hendricks
will likely have to revise his estimate
on the Jobber club. The Witches have
played some good ball here, although
the twirling department rendered
the team looks as though it would
field, hit and run the bases fairly we'll
Outside that there may be something
wrong with it. The Jobbers did well
games and a goodly chunk of real
coin.
In their first at home series the
Kaws did fairly on the bingle end of
the business. Thirty-three times in
the four contests they slammed the
pill safely. This is an average of near
ly eight hits to the game and lot
~
that. The locals hit like real sons of
swat and if they keep up their present
lick, pitchers will be led from the box
uttering vain regrets on the O'Nei1
hits made here were of the extra base
variety, one which blooms infreQuent-
~, but a beautiful plant for all that.
The pitching staff, as announced in
this column about six weeks ago is the
question. Likely it will be found good
enough for the going. A couple of
weeks of warm weather and work are
the only things that will tell. The
pitchers will have a chance to get in
to condition and the batters will be
still hitting with their spring time Wig
or. A couple Of weeks should en-
able Gear TO ascertain what he needs
in the flinging department.
Omaha scribes venture the predic-
ton that the ROurkes are at least SO
to IS per cent stronger than at the
close of last season when, by a squirt,
they made fourth place. The outfield,
composed of Coyle, Davidson and
Thomason is said to be one that can't
be beaten on the O'Neill circuit. The
fnfield is said to be a vastly faster and
more reliable organization and the
team isn't in anything like the shape
IL was they say, at the close of fes-
tivities in 1911. The only thing to pre-
vent a runaway, is the fact that the
other teams, too, have strengthened.
It is declared a new short stop, and
q real one has been found in Justice.

season say that Andreas has a bunch

effective ball at all times except in
the fourth inning and was given fast
support. A drilling rain which con-
tinued past the middle of the game
cut down the attendance and spoiled
a balloon ascension which was to have
been staged before the game. Mayor
w. w. Minick pitched the first ball.

R. E. Bales, a sport writer, already
complains that Des Moines was I'M

against the umpireS before they see

we'll of the umpire usually gets the
worst of it and the bugs are called
easy A fairly good rule to follow with
umpires is to say nothing when an
umpire works well. That's what he is
paid for. But when he grows rank
give him the thing that Sherman call
ed war.
When Cocreham locates the plate he
should keep the best of them guessing.
He seems to have the making of a
twirIer of class, although his Strikeout
record is small. Rose, a youngster
who hasn't had much chance to show
here is a promising chap and Gear
still has faith in Wainwright to land
in the big leagues inside couple of
years.

back inside the field. The head of
the buggy house shrieked from the

Of Milk in One Day.
Spokane John L. Smith, manager
Of the Hardwood Holstein farm in
Spokane and Ferry counties, Wash,
claims two worlds records for butter
production by his COWS made at official
tests under the direction Of the dairy
department of Washington State col
lege, as follows: Hardwood Aaggie
DeKol, three years and three months
of age, bred in Spokane, 34.89 pounds
of butter in seven days and 1O3 pounds
of milk in one day. The butter pro-
duction is three and half pounds
more than the former record for three
year-old cows. Gerben Queen, eight
years old, produced 36.41 pounds of
butter in seven days, and 1890
pounds in 80 days; milk, 122 pounds
in one day. This is<a new record for
cows over eight years. Gerben Queen
stable-mate, Bonnie Lassie Pauline,
five years old, produced 1878 pounds
of butter in seven days and 1857
pounds in 80 days. The two older
cows were bred in Wisconsin. Dairy
ing is rapidly becoming an important
industry in the Northwestern states,
but it is estimated that fully 500, 0OO
mich cows are required to supply the
demand.

Porto Ricans Want Naturalization Pa
pers, Declares Brown.
New York-Attorney General Fos-
ter v. Brown, Of Porto Rico, was in
New York en- route to Washington,
where he will hand his resignation to
President Taft. He will then return
to his home in Chattanooga, Tenn, to
resume his law practice.
Brown spoke enthusiastically of the
progress and prosperity of Porto Rico,
where he has been stationed two
years. i 10 k
81 don't think there is a single
state in the Union today where the
people are SO happy as the Porto Ri
cans are with the government they
have" he said. There is only one
complaint they make against the Uni
ted States government, and that, /
think, is just one. They feel they
have right to American citizenship.
That feeling was expressed and IA
vOred in the platforms Of both parties
in this country, and both President
Roosevelt and President Taft urged
the comforting Of such citizensip.
There is no reason, especially in view
of these long-standing promises, why
Porto Ricans should not be made eiti-
zens. Without it, they feel today
that Porto Rican is man without q
country"

Ex- Chemist Opposes "smalI Dose"
Exception to Rule.
Washington, d. Cdr. Harvey W..
Wiley, appearing as private citizen
before the Pure Food board in advo-
cacy Of a regulation guarding very
strictly the use and sale of opium,
morphine, cocaine and other habit
forming drugs, aroused the anger OF
drug representatives by referring to
them as ''dopers.
DR.. Wiley finally consented to with
draw the term "dopers," but said he
would still insist on calling them
manufacturers of poison"
"For that he added. 'tis what you
yourselves are willing to have called
these drugs and preparations contain
ing them"
Representatives Of the drug manu-
facturers argued that exception should
be made in preparations containing
only small proportions Of opium, NOR
phine, cocaine and the other drugs
named. They held that there were
SO many of these preparations scatter
ed through small drug stores all over
the country that it would require
years and be heavy expense for the
manufacturers to have all marked
with skull and ross-bones, as the reg
ulations of the pure food board re-
quire.
DR.. Wiley declared the manufac-
turer had been making the profits and
should pay whatever costs were nee
essary to protect the public from the
drug habit.
"May I ask whom you representa-
said Mr.. Hough, of St. Louis, when
DR.. Wiley appeared.
81 represent one private citizen, "
was the reply, something new at
these hearings, but which hope will
be frequent in the future.
Gas to the drug manufacturers ar
gument that small quantities of
opium, morphine and cocaine are not
harmful, it would take a million
Hague opium conferences to convince
me that the small amounts should be
allowed. Nothing is better than
small doses as a means of fostering
the drug habit"

Private System to BE Installed Near
Husum.
Husum- Several private irrigation
systems will be installed along the
White Salmon river this year to in
crease the yield Of vegetables, small
fruits and grasses. Orchards thrive
here without irrigation. Ranchers
within radius of four miles of HUI
sum, who purpose to turn water on
their lands, are: William Campfeld,
C. J. Winchell, C. L. Colburn, E..
w. Spencer, William Fordyce, Scott
Edwards, H. NJ. Papst and William
Peterson.
It has long been demonstrated in the
Trout lake region, the southern border
of which reaches within 10 miles of
here, that immense crops of grain,
hay, vegetables and small fruits can
be raised by irrigation. A generous
supply of water running throughout
that section has made it famous for
dairying, while so bushels of wheat
per acre is harvested, and 80 bushels
! of oats. There is the same opportun-
| ity for ranchers lower down the river
to realize the same results with proper
irrigation.
The time is not far distant when a
ditch will parallel the river from near
its source to the mouth, where it flows
into the Columbia. Those realizing
the Importance Of irrigation for nearly
everything except fruit trees, are al
ready interested in organizing and in
stalling an irrigation system to better
conditions that prevail during the dry
months of the growing season.

Lewis, manager Of the mill, who
waited until the leader was within Ave
feet Of him, and then drew revolver
and stood of the whole gang.
The Coates mill il still running, IL
though short handed.
As result Of . free for-all fight be-
tween Greek strikers and American
non-strikers at the Northwestern
plant, charges have been preferred
against City Attorney Callahan by
the Hoquiam Trades Council.
In the fight q Greek was about to
hit special police officer on the head
with hammer when Lon Miller, an
old time citizen, threw q brick which
put the Greek out Of commission.
Miller says that he tried to do the
Greek q favor by preventing him from
committing murder. City Attorney
Callahan issued warrant for the ar
rest Of the Greek, but refused to issue
one for Miller.
This is the basis of the charge
against Callahan, which will be
threshed out by the city commission
ers.
The making Of the charges marks
the introduction of the Trades Council
into the I. w. w. fight against the
mills. Heretofore the Federation of
Labor has not had hand in the affair.
For three days Police Judge Coghlan
has been trying Greeks on misde-
meanor charges. He has been refusing
them trial by jury and fining them S.
and $40. Judge Coghlan's refusal has
brought up the question of the consti-
tutional right of trial by jury, and
has resulted in declaration that
Coghlan's business will be boycotted,
and the commissioners who placed him
there recalled.
The recall of the commissioners is
also threatened if City Attorney Gala
han is not dismissed.

Republic returns for January
and February show that the ore ship
ped to the shelters from the mines of
Republic camp amounted to 1922
tons, as follows:
Republic Mines Corporation, Sur
prise and Lone Pine, 5. 1875 tons.
Knob Hill, 1850 tons.
San Poll, GOA ons.
Insurgent, 252 tons.
Quilp, 81 tons.
The shipments from the Insurgent
constituted cleanup of the leasing
operations, and that from ;the Quilp
came from the side vein, below the
50O-foot level. Everything else in
sight in the Quilp mine at present is
of milling grade, but the quantity is
so inexpressibly large that there is
actually no way of estimating it.
+ The San Poll Consolidated company
shipped no ore of less value than SIS
per ton, all Of less value being re-
tanned for treatment by cyanidation
in the company's plant, now under
construction.
The average quality of the Knob
Hill ore, shipped since it fell into the
hands of the present owners, has been
better than that of most of the others
in the camp.
In the Lone Pine mine the Republic
Mines corporation is now employing

of a milling grade, which will soon be
in demand at the North Washington
