He spoke prin cipally regarding the coming conven ,tion and as a conclusion talked enter [tainingiy on tne brilliant prospects of (the Walla Walla valley as a fruit rais ; ing country. "We have the soil and the climate," isaid Mr. Ritz, "now all we need is j (the energy. When I came to the valley jin 1889. I saw some of the finest ap jpl. s that ever grew. In fact tiner ap- I pies than were produced in the Yakima ior Hood River country, and I will go on record as Raying that we are capa ble of producing just such fruit in the [future. We all know that fortunes have been made by fruit raising—care- Iful fruit raising, and Walla Walla val ley can be made to produce the finest !fruit on earth." | "I firmly believe that to increase the ! population of Walla Walla it is abso lutely necessary to chop up the big [farms into smaller tracts.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Harry Pull liam, president of the National league, thinks it is an injustice to a batter who brings in a run from third bas,- on a long fly to the outfield to charge him with a time at bat. This play often wins games fully as much as a base hit and Pulliam says he will advocate a change in the rules whereby a batter sending out such a fly or a grounder so difficult to handle that the play cannot be made at the plate shall be exempt from a time at bat. "There are some players." he says, "who always are sure to hit the bah when men are on bases and frequently win games by so doing; yet they get no credit for what they have aciom plished." Pulliam thinks there should be a change in the scoring system which would give credit to the batter bringing in runs. Reform in the pitching rules is another change advocated by Pulliam. He is opposed to allowing the pitehet's box to be raised above the level of the diamond..."The pitcher's box at the Po lo grounds is on the .evel with the rest of the diamond," he observes, "and I maintain that you get a correct line on the ability of a pitcher on this ground." WOULD PLAY ST. LOUIS. Multnomah Club Wants Good Football Game for New Year's D«\y. Multnomah Club is casting about for a New Year's day football game in Portland, and is at a loss to decide what team to' play. It has a chance to play several elevens, and wants to play several others on that day, but so far has reached no understanding with any. The latest report received by President George McMillan today was that the St. Louis university team has definitely decided to play the Washing ton State college in Spokane, Christmas and the Seattle club in Seattle, tfew Year's. That can scarcely be, because Seattle and Spokane are scheduled tb play in Seattle New Year's day. Multnomah would like to play the St. Louis team, but failing in that, is anx ious to meet the crack W. S. C. team. Correspondence is being taken up with Manager Lilligren for a game here New Year's day, and it Wii] be a rare treat for the Portland fans if it is secured. ON VERGE OF BITTER WAR TAMALE MAKER DECLARES HIS PRODUCT IS BEING COUN TERFEITED. War, fierce bitter war. which will be fought to the bitter end has been tie -ared among the tainale makers of W'flli Walla, and according to Depu lv Sheriff Painter whose authority in such matters is unquestioned, it la lik<-?y that even the chop suej' and noodle joints will become involved be fore the dove of peace again picks the chicken hones in the rear of the now flourishing tainale shops.

"Will remain [closed for a few days." adorns Colon's j place of business on Fourth street.

He emphatically (denies that he sells his famous tamales jto dealers and the easily misled must ! first inquire as to the seal and signa ture of the goods unless they wish to Ibe mislead. ; "My husband won't stand for their jwork." indignantly replied Mrs. Ar !roussez to a reporter's question as to the nature of the trouble.

When the mem bers of the committee in charge of the program asked Dr. Penrose to address the assembly on the subject, he readily complied with their request with the provision that no restrictions be placed upon his remarks. It is presumed that the feature of his address will be in reference to the advisability of reform ing the Sunday school from a purely religious gathering to a Sunday school as interpreted by the true meaning of the word.

"During the early season." said Manager.C. E. Nosier, last evening, l"the companies asked us to give an es timate on the number of cars needed. We gave them the information desired |and immediately entered into contracts with fruit ranchers for their produce. During the season we purchased fruit to the usual extent, but when we were ready to ship we were unable to secura a sufficient number of cars. Before tiie railroad companies were abi • to sup ply our demand, the price of fruit was. greatly reduced. Apples which were selling on the market for $1.50 to $2 per case was reduced to $0.75 and $t per case. We figure our loss all told, between SIMM and $20,000 for the season." MOVE CONVICTS TO MONROE WILL RETURN TO WORK ON THE ROADS AFTER REFORMATORY IS COMPLETED. A sang of convicts from the state penitentiary. employed for several months on public highways in <»kam>- jgan county, wil. be removed to the state reformatory at Monroe, according to J. H. Davis, a member of the state bo nd of control, who is arranging for the transportation of the convicts to Monroe. The rapid approach Of winter in Okanogan county, making it ini|>os sible to work the convicts at a profit, is fffareti SS the reason for (hanging them to Monroe to wofll on the neV state reformatory. After work under way at Monroe is completed, the c onvi< ts will probably _ be returned to the penitentiary for the winter, although this matter has not b en fuliy decided upon. The experi ment of working convirts or. public work has been found to be satisfactory and arrangements will probably be made to work adidtional men next year. The risk of prisoners escaping has been reduced to a minimum. NEW RAILROAD OFFICES. Portland-Seattle Lines Will Operate to Pasco. January 1. PORTLAND.
