STAGE SET FOR BIG GAMES.
Philadelphia and Boston Mines Clash
in World S Series Today.

Philadelphia is the universal mag.
net today. There, on a smooth and
much trodden diamond, the lines OF
battle in the worlds championship
baseball series have been drawn and
the opposing forces will meet for the
first battle this afternoon. The Quak-
er City nine has closed its season
at the top of the National league lad
der and likewise the Boston Ameri-
cans are supreme in the American
league. By peculiar coincidence
the same cities will see the national
series this year as last, but it was
the Philadelphia Americans last year
and the Nationals this year. Boston
took four straight games year ago,
and thousands of fans are anxiously
awaiting the possibility of duplication
of the great performance. The first
two games are to be played at Phil
adelphia and the last two at Boston.
If a fifth game is necessary to- decide
the title it will be played at Phila-
delphia.

BLODGETT COUPLE ELOPES.
After Attending Sunday School Low
ers Head for Canada.

Corvallis Gazette: Edwin John
son, aged 2S, eloped yesterday from
Blodgett with ffteen-year-old Ruth
Thompson, daughter of j. A. Thomp-
son, of that place. Johnson met the
girl at the Sunday school hour yes
terday and they went to Sunday
school, but left shortly before the
school was dismissed. They were seen
to go over the hill from the church
where it is believed Johnson had an
automobile waiting, and that they
came to Corvallis or Albany and took
the Oregon Electric for Portland. The
father of the girl was away from
home for the day, returning late in
the evening. Learning of the elope-
ment of his daughter, Mr.. Thompson
boarded the excursion train last night,
came to Corvallis, where he was met
at the train by Sheriff Gellatly and
the two went to Portland in search
of the elopers. They are reported
to have started for British Columbia.
The girl is under age of consent, and
the parents objected to her keeping
with johnson. johnson is
a Blodgett man.

MRS. HUNNIcUTT GETS FINE.
For Stealing Cream She Will Pay $50
and Costs.

A half gallon of cream will cost
Mrs. Ellen Hunnieutt $50 and court
costs, according to the findings of a
jury in Judge Belts court YESTERDAY
afternoon. The unfortunate woman
made away with a jar of cream from
the Mclaughlin ranch south of indie
pendence, in which vicinity the Hun
nicutt family is more or less motor
ious for its lawlessness. It took
Judge N. l.. Butler for the defendant
and J. Z. Sibley for the state only a
short time to present their cases and
the jury was out several hours in
finding a verdict. II is probable
and has until one o'clock to nav
the amount. She was given until
l O'Clock today to raise the money.
Her son Harry was sentenced earlier
in the week to a term in the peni-
tentiary and another son Emzie was
paroled from that institution more
than a month ago. The latter is also
under indictment at this term of
court. Mrs. Hunnieutt is a frail lit
tie woman, rather old considering the

er themselves into automobiles and
with Governor Withycombe in the
front car, will follow the exposition
and marine bands to the Oregon

the modern Parthenon wax eloquent
over the glorious achievements of the
state to the northward. Governor
Withycombe, whose business in life
it has been to name two blades of
grass grow where but one has grown
before, will probably be aSkel 70
plant a tree where none has grown
before, and in the name of the great
state of Oregon he may receive a |

speaking, commemorative medal. "
The guns at the big forts will prob
ably boom. the battleship Oregon may
let loose some six inch salutes. flags
will fly. Oregon cider will flow and at
no time, before or since. will the Ore

After the parade-which the people
at the Oregon building and the Ore
gon Society of California will en-
deavor to make the largest and most
in exposition history, and
all the Grating has been done to the
delight of the assembled multitudes.
Governor Withyeombe and the chosen
few will be carried away to the Cali
fornia building and there wined and
lined until their stomaehs as well as
heir hearts are filed to overfowing.

GERMAN WAR FILMS COMING.
By Special Arrangement The Grand
Secures Pictures.

The German war pictures, which
will be shown at The Grand theater
Wednesday, are close-range views of
the actual fighting in the eastern and
western theaters of war in Europe.
They were taken by moving picture
operator, who was allowed to go on
the firing line under the sanction of
the German government, and at the
risk of his life. That his perils were
manifold the pictures prove and the
fact that he brought back with him,
a roll of films taken by an operator
on the French firing line, attests the
close proximity in which he placed
himself. Vivid portrayals of trench
building and fighting; close views Of
the barbed wire entanglements which
figure so much in the infantry fight
ing, and the work of the heavy and
light artillery are among the interest
ing parts of the pictures. The oper-
ator explored the forts taken by the
Germans after many days siege in
Belgium, and he was actually in Lou
vain and Liege when the German
shells riddled buildings and forhfca-
shells uiddled buildings and fortifca-
tions crumbling and walls of fine
buildings tumbing. His pictures of
the burning of Antwerp are master
pieces.
For a number of days he was with
the kaiser on the frontier and he OBJ
tanned many close views of the Ger
man war lord and the popular Ger
man idol, Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg. One of the most spectacular
films is that of the German and Ba-
varian cavalry in a charge. To wit
ness these highly trained men and
horses in an attack is thrilling and
hair-raising.

Many Pheasants In Polk.

Unusually good shooting by pleas
ant and duck hunters was reported tC
Carl Shoemaker. state game warden
this week from various sections Of
Western Oregon invaded during the
week by shooters. Pheasants seem
more plentiful this year than in for.
mer seasons, a fact that Mr.. Shoe
maker attributes largely to the liber-
alton of 1000 pheasants this year by
the state.
The normal increase in these birds
would be 10000. he said. and from
Polk, Marion. Linn and Benton eoun-
ties particularly reports of many
birds and good hunting seem to bear
out the belief that the liberated birds
have thriven amazingly.

WHEAT PRICE GOING UP.
Local Mills Have Supplied ALI De-
mands-Recent Price Increase.


Although most Of the flour mills in
the county are pretty well supplied
with wheat for the winter there is
still considerable being sold by the
farmers in this vicinity. Many, as is
usually the case, are holding their
crop for the top price and expect the
increased demand to make that price
high one. Portland buyers have
taken their share of wheat from the
county and local mills have taken
more than in previous years, butt the
demand is still fairly good with the
price ranging, at the mills, close to
rs cents. Not only has wheat been
purchased by Polk county mills, but
Portland and California mills as well
as several eastern companies have
entered the field. In the larger mar
kets the price of wheat has advanced
since the first Of the present month
almost eight cents. The outside buy
ing, together with the increased price
is causing the farmers not onl y TO
hold back the best of their crop, but
to demand higher prices. Cereal man
in the east have practical
ly filed their wants from the crop
of the Pacific northwest, and Polk
county has contributed its share to
the 800 or 600 carloads that have
been shipped from northwestern
states. Foreign grain markets have
noted the price advance, but because
IF the increase in ocean freight rates
growers in this section of the country
ind it difficult to participate in the
,rading.

More than 20 counties have already
taken space for representation, and
it is apparent that long before the
opening of the show, October 25, all
of the exhibit space will have been
reserved. Yesterdays meeting of the
Members council dealt with the Man

KILLING WAS JUSTIFIED

justifable homicide" was the ve1
dict rendered by the coroner's jur.
at Oregon City on Tuesday, at tn

Case, killed Sunday night near hi

ton and was bound over to the grand
jury on charge of second degree
murder. He waived examination. The
grand jury will meet next Monday
The brothers were formerly residents
of Polk county.
The trouble between Ernest, on one
side, and the rest of the Case family
of seven girls and four boys, began
during the childhood of the boys. Err
nest was the youngest of the boys
and, Cassius declared, was always
taking advantage of his brothers and
sisters. "Sam and I stayed on the
farm and worked so that Ernest
could go to school," he said. "Sam
was good boy and we were willing
TO sacrifice our own time so that our
brother could get a schooling. We
believed that after Ernest had gone
through school he would help us with
his education That was all we ex-
pected for reward. But when Ernest
came from school he used the learning
we had helped him secure to get the
best of us. He has cheated us time
and time again"
Labon Case, an early pioneer of
Polk county, was their father. He
took up donation land claim of $40
acres and a timber claim of 300 acres
in early days, which, Cassius said,
rapidly increased in value when the
county was settled. "Ernest wanted
to leave the farm as soon as he was
Of age and go to town. When he was
21 years old he married against the
" "ioHCS VI my PolcHto' III HeoI ldtol
was divorced, opened a restaurant in
Corvallis and finally married one of
MS mattresses. A year after his sec
md wife died, he married again, this
time sister of Sans wife," For
jhe last five years the illfeeling be-
;ween Sam and Ernest has been stead
ly growing stronger. Even their wives

sisters.
The Polk county estate of his par
'nts and the estate Of Samuel Nealy,
IN uncle, were taken by Ernest from
lis brothers, Cassius said. The long
cries of injuries and insults added
o the feeling between Sam and En-
lest, Cassius explained, until about
year ago Ernest is said to have
hreatened his brothers. life. OF the
2 children of Mr.. and Mrs. Labon
