der the delusion that Welsh viii take him
on again on the Pacific Slope, and give
him a chance to regain the coveted bau-
Bile. Ritchie figured he had Welsh tied
down to an agreement whereby the pair
were to meet again some time in Novem-
Der. But the Ritchie person evidently
forgot he was watching his wits against
those Of the cieverest boxer in the busi-
ness. As a consequence he Is likely not
to get q chance at Welsh again for an
other year, for Pollok will devise some
loophole through which Welsh can avoid
the November meeting with Ritchie-
Won't Fight Ritchie.
II the truth must be told, Welsh had
no intention Of engaging the Richie
party for quite q stretch. The Rex Is
desirous of giving the ''ex' q dose of his
own medicine. 1t took two years Of
dogged trailing for Welsh to induce
Richie to sign up; now Welsh will do
the same thing to Ritchie. This time
Willie will have to do the persistency act
II he cares for another battle.
Next week Ritchie will ask the United
States government officials for permis-
sion to exhibit the moving pictures OF his
bout with Welsh In the various big cities.
Ritchie has declared that he will let the
American public Judge the contest on
the sheet. and will abide by their verdict
just as he did when Eugene Corri de-
cIared against him and sheared him OF
the championship and several hundred
thousand dollars that went with IT,
Ritchie honestly believed the worst he
should have received was a draw. We
shall wait for a view OF the movies be-
foroe deciding whether Ritchie has
ample grounds for this belief.

tGme called On account Of the general wearineSs
Of the players after the second inningJ
Commenting on the attempt made by
the Welsh gang to overcome a 1SS run
lead in their half Of the second, one OF
the English newspapers said:
The Welshmen never looked like max
ing the 1874 runs needed to win the game.
but they tried hard. II. Evans, OF the
Grange Gasworks, and E. Seer, Of the
Phil Harriers. who was captain Of the
team, executed the most noble work. for
they recorded thirteen runs each, as the
result of their labors, but the side was
out in fifty-seven runs"
As we understand the situation,
Messrs. Evans and Seer messed up the
opposing pitcher to such an extent that
they were given the privilege OF running
around the bases thirteen times each and
that divers, and sundry other OF their
teammates contributed the other thirty
one runs that were Tailed during the final
half inning of the pastime.
However, neither Of the Welsh nnessrs.
need get conceited about what they did.
A few Of their English opponents went
them slightly better in the. rln-making
business. In the first inning L. Higgins
made fifteen runs and ]. Barron fourteen,
while In the second inning, Higgins con-
tributed twenty-five runs and Barron
aided his side by ambling around the
bases twenty times.
One Of our English brethren. who has
been given the tile OF baseball expert"
by the editor-in-cfief Of the paper on
which he works. wrote an article about
baseball after the aforementioned game
was over. II you don't believe that this
fellow Is an expert on baseball. and
knows all the in-and-outs Of the said
game, we submit evidence. the evidence
being the article that he wrote in which
he explained the game to those who didn't
know much about it-and who perhaps
don't know much more now.
Here is the article. in part:
baseball lacks the stately dignity Of
cricket. II is strenuous and hustlIng,
II not q highly skillful game 1t has
many merits. It should appeal to q pub
lie whose ideas have been speeded up by
professional football.
.sThe impression that this match con-
veyed was that q splendid eye Is needed
for success as q batsman- The bat,
which Is no more than three and a half
inches wide. ID held at right angles 10 the

Then the expert goes on to describe
some Of the rules Of the game. Here Is
the description of one.rule, but II must
be one they concocted In England No one
seems TO know anything about Il over
here-

FUNDS FOR NEW CHURCH.
$40, 900 to be Raised for st. Michaers
New Building.

With $4,000 as his goal, Rev.
Father Mally of st. Michael's church
started this week on q campaign to
raise funds for the erection of the
new church building, plans for which
were approved by Bishop O'Dea OF
Seattle last week. OF this 100000,
approximately $4,000 will be used
in the construction of the church
building and the balance in providing
the furnishings.
An elevation drawing of the pro-
posed building as it will appear when
completed was put on display in one
of the local stores this week and at
tracted widespread interest. Mem
bers of St. Michael's church have
been planning for some time the erec-
ton of a new building at Tenth and
Columbia streets and much of the
preliminary grading has been done
The new building is to be con-
structed Of brick and will be a fine
addition to the church buildings OF
the city. Father Mally hopes to begin
the construction of the foundations
at least this year, and to complete the
structure next spring.

JACOB FURTH IS DEAD.
Prominent Seattle Banker Passes
Away at Age Of IS.

Jacob Furth, for more than 80
years q resident Of Seattle, banker
and street railway magnate, and al
ways a leader among Seattle's fore
most citizens, died at the family
home Tuesday afternoon following an
intestinal affection that first attacked
him two years ago. He was 7S years
old.
Mr.. Furth never forsook his large
business interests until about April l
last, when he made preparations for
treatment at a San Francisco sana-
torium. He left Seattle April 3, and
not showing the improvement made
by him during his previous treatment
there two years ago, he returned
home, and was never afterwards per-
mitted to be disturbed by any busi-
ness cares.

Local Office Has Z, 8, IL, 20 and 80.
Cent Denominations.

The Olympia .postoffice has receiv-
ed a supply of the new Z, 8, 12, 20
and 30-cent stamps, the first time in
the history of the postoffice that
stamps of the first four denomina-
tions named have been issued, SO far
as local authorities know, and 80
years since a 30-cent stamp was
made. Though a 2O-cent stamp was
issued when the parcel post was first
inaugurated, this is the first time a
general stamp of that denomination
mas been used.
The new 7-cent is black in color,
with an engraving of Washington s
face. The Scent is pink, the 12-cent
maroon, the 20-cent light blue and
the 30-cent vermillion, these four
bearing engravings of Franklin. The
only other time 30-cent was issued,
SO far as the local officials remember,
was during the Chicago exposition
when the Columbia $50" was printed
and used for short time.

CITY AFFAIRS IN COURT
Officials Want Decision on What Are
Necessary Expenditures.

Resembling it's resolution of some
weeks ago, the city council this week
voted to pay the city's lighting Dill
for April and, according to a pre-ar-
ranged plan to determine what are
and what are not necessary munlcl-
pal expenditures, City Clerk Holmes
will refuse to issue any warrants, the
city attorney will institute mandamus
proceedings to compel the issuance OF
warrants, and the matter will in that
way be thrown into court for de-
cision.
Another step in its plan of economy
was evidenced in the adoption of
resolution providing for the abolition
of the offices of assistant city clerk

OF the street department to as few
employees as possible after September

1853 ON DEATH LIST
Only ti3 Saved E.acn : Gamer Silk
in St. Lawrence River.

MONTREAL, June 5.-The late
lists furnished by The Canadian Pa,
ciic railway indicate that total of
969 persons pershed in the sinking
of the Empress of ireland in the st.
Lawrence river last Friday. The say
ed number is 41S.
Conflicting stories are told by the
captain of the Empress OF Ireland
and the captain of the Danish collier
Storstad with which the steamer col
lided, and it is probable that all the
facts surrounding the disaster will
not be brought out until the official
investigation. In preliminary in
vestigation Saturday by the coroner
of Rimouski, Quebec, Captain Ken
dali of the Empress declared he had
taken all possible precautions against
collision. His ship had been stop
ped, he gave the requisite signals
when the Danish collier Storstad,
which dealt the blow which sent the
Empress to the bottom, was still two
miles away, but the collier had kept
on through the fog which settled
down soon after the two vessels sight
ed each other, and had rammed the
Empress of Ireland when the latter
vessel was virtually motionless.
Empress Captains Plea Vain.
Then, despite his plea to the mas
ter of the collier that he run his en-
gines full speed ahead to keep the
hole in the liners side plugged with
the Storstad's bow, said Captain Ken
dali, the Danish vessel backed away.
the water rushed in and the Empress
sank.
Captain Thomas Anderson Of the
Storstad, however, maintains that the
collier's engines were stopped when
the Empress was first sighted. signals
exchanged, and the collier's course
altered so the boats could safely pass.
He also denied the charge that the
collier had backed away after the col
lision and says her engines were ord
cred ahead to hold her against the
liners side, but claims the Empress
headway twisted the collier's bow
out of the cash.

OLD CITY HALL BURNS
Fire Partially Destroys Landmark
New Building to Replace 1t.

Fire, starting from an unknown
origin Just under the roof in the rear
of the old city hall building adjoin-
ing the courthouse on East Fourth
street, damaged that structure SO
badly Thursday afternoon that new
building will be erected on the site,
threatened to damage the court
house and caused incipient fires on
the roofs of several nearby buildings,
all of which were quickly extinguish-
ed. The quick work of the fire de-
partment undoubtedly prevented a
disastrous blaze in that section OF
the city.
First constructed as fire station
for the old Barnes volunteer fire de-
partment in the early sixties, 1t was
later rebuilt by the city and was
used as the city hall until few years
ago, when it was purchased by P. M.
Troy and Fred w. Stocking after the
new city hall was built. 1t is one OF
the city's oldest landmarks.
The fire was confined to the attic
and roof of the building, though the
entire building was flooded by water.
Practically all of the records owned
by the Thurston County Abstract
company were removed, but very lit
tie of the stock of the clothing store
occupying the other ground floor room
was removed, and only a little or the
paraphrenalia of the Eagles lodge,
occupying the second floor, was saw
ed. The building Mr.. stocking
values at about $1,000, covered by
80. 900 insurance, while the Eagles
carried $500 insurance on their prop
erty.
Work on the new building will be
bepun Immediately. Mr.. Stocking
saws. and the structure will cost ap-
proximately $4,000. The ABSTRACT
company has established temporary
offices in the Peters building.

LISTER DENIES PETITION
Governor Refuses to Call Special Ses-

After consulting with the attorney

hearing a week ago. Governor Lister
this week denied the petition OF
Olympia and other third-class cities
for a special session Of the legislature
to straighten out the tangle In their
tax levies.
while it may be somewhat diff
cult for the cities of the third class to
fit themselves to the conditions now
existing" the governor said in ex-
planning his decision. yet the regu-
lar session of the legislature will meet
in about seven months and under the
rulings of the supreme court there is
no question but that the officials have
authority to incur Indebtedness for
expenses necessary in maintaining
their city governments"
1t is expected that the next legisla-
ture will remedy the situation by va

sued above the 10-mill tax the su-
preme court has ruled is all that
third-class cities can legally levy. In
the meantime the general disposition
of local taxpayers not to carry mat
ters further than merely to pay under
protest will remove whatever Difficult
ties the city might otherwise encount-

BERRIES NEED BIG RAIN
Unusually Dry Spring Has Bad Effect
ON Crop, Say Growers.

Rain-good, solid, steady rain for
48 hours at least-is what is needed
for the strawberry crop in this vicin-
ity, according to the growers who,
facing an unusually long dry spell"
for this time of the year, say their
crops will run less than half capacity
unless a rain comes along and that
right soon. They are confronting ex-
actly the opposite condition from that
they had to contend with last year,
when the spring season was an un-
usually wet one and many dollars
worth of berries were lost because
they ripened faster than they could
be disposed Of.
The condition of the berry crop in
this vicinity is reflected in the mac
tivity of the cannery which, Manager
Mark Ewald thought, would be run
ming full blast after the first of this
month and instead has been operat-
ed but one day this week-Tuesday
because no berries were received.
About a month ago the outlook for
berries was exceedingly good and the
cannery prepared to handle almost
double the quantity of last year. but
the intervening dry spell has altered
conditions and, as Manager Ewald
puts it, no one can tell what the crop
will be. The dry season has had as
bad an effect on the raspberries as
the strawberries, Mr.. Ewald says.

I Mr.. Sans estimates roughly that

the county this spring at cost OF
about $4,000 altogether and says
that at least 12O to 1875 of these are
on farms upon which new settlers
have located, indicating that at least
that many new families have settled
here this spring. The greater part
of these newcomers have located on
the prairie between Grand Mound
and Rochester. he says, and along the
Chehalis river, and adds that there
have been large new paintings OF
raspberries and loganberries in the
vicinity of Grand Mound.
The prairie lands, he says, seem to
be more attractive to the newcomers.

the Nina district. In most cases the
land thus occupied consists Of por-
tions of large holdings sold in small
er parcels and does not include many
new clearings. Mr.. Sans estimates
that there is from seven to 10 per
cent more land under cultivation in
the county this year.

FIRE OUTLOOK DUBIOUS
Indications of Dangerous Year i'm FO
ests Require Precautions.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 5.-While
the early forest fires reported in May
were mostly in slashings and without
loss, June opens the commonly rec
ognized fire season with indications
of dangerous year that demands
more than usual precaution, accord
ing to bulletins received by the
Western Forestry & Conservation
association from all states in the Pa
cific Northwest.
Much less than the usual amount
of snow remains in the mountains
and in some regions there have al
ready been several weeks of dry
weather broken only by one short
rain. Atmospheric conditions seem
to be conducive to frequent dry in
terror winds. requiring extraordinary
precautions in firing slashings. Pa
trolls are already in the field and be-
ing rapidly recruited to their full
strength. Unless there shall be rain
in June trouble is expected, but the
protective organization to meet it will
be better than in any past year.
Washington had fully 100 fires in
May, some of them receiving much
publicity, but practically all were
slashing fires more useful than other
wise. About Is per cent Of loggers'
slashings are thus cleaned up, re-
moving danger later. A little green
timber killed by a fire in Clallam
county resulting from road-builders'
carelessness, with some logs and
equipment burned in a Chehalis
county slashing. comprise the only
actual damage. The state has county
wardens on duty and is very active
in educational work. The Washing
ton Forest Fire association has 80
men in the field. Road builders de-
briS now constitutes the worst haz-
ard.
All Northwest agencies report ex-
cellent preparation to meet a bad
year but urge earnest cooperation by
those who use fire in the woods. Care
full handling of slashings by settlers.
road crews and loggers is agreed to
be the most urgent need at this stage
of the season.
