A Washington special says: Senator
Mitchell is proving resourceful in his
efforts to secure appropriations from the
river and harbor bill for his own section
Of the country.
In an interview he went into details
regarding the amendments introduced
by him increasing by $2,000,000 the
house river and harbor bill, and increas-
ing the amount the secretary OF war can
allot to any one project to 100000.
Senator Mitchell believes that the bill
can be increased in the senate and he
also hopes there win be an increase by
the senate Of the amount which can be
assigned to any one project.
The senator says that then the claims
Of Oregon, for Oregon improvements
at the mouth Of the river, and of the
river between Portland and the sea, can
present to the secretary Of war stronger
arguments than any other state in the
union and will be able to get sufficient
Of the lump sum thus appropriated to
enable the work to proceed until such
time as the next specific river and har-
Dor bill can be enacted, which will be
before March 4, next.

Weston's Brickyard.

There are number of Athena men
dependant on the Weston brickyard for
building material, and the following
from the Leader will be of interest to
them:
Everything is going smoothly at the
Weston brickyard. The bright weather
has filed the men with "ginger" and
the management with hopefulness. The
new wage system affords mutual salts
faction and is working without a hitch
The men are paid on basis of 100(
brick instead of by the day. Some o.
the moulding crews knock off before
o'clock in the evening after finishing :
5000 run-which is considered fail
days work. Exactly 40 men are on the
payroll, and this force will be increased
to so when burning begins"

Snow is Deem in Mountains.

Three feet of snow still lies around
Fletcher's mill, east Of here in the
mountains, and, according to William
Fletcher, proprietor of the mill, it gets
deeper further back until at the sum-
NIT there is probably 10 feet. The pres
ent high water in the creeks is due prin-
cipally to foothill snow. While most Of
the snow visible from the town here has
disappeared, the total amount Of noun
tain snow is diminished but little. Pine
creek, Dry creek and Wildhorse and
other streams are running high, though
not out Of their banks to any extent,
Some apprehension is felt as a severe
freshet would prove disastrous.

Captain walsh's Colts Got Sound Drub-
bing In Sunday Game.
The ball game Sunday afternoon be-
tween Frank Walsh's Athena colts and
Clark Nelson's Weston brickyarders
was fierce but strictly amateur. The
kinks were ironed out of the Athena
laddies to the tune of 26 to 6.
There were some clever individual
plays on both sides, but woeful alb
sence of team work. Weston took the
lead in the second inning and was never
headed, winning hands down. Walsh
and La Brashe pitched winning ball but
team support was minus. The Weston
team put Clark Nelson in the box and
while freely hit, the out field kept the
Athena boys from piling up runs.
The Athena boys have it up theiI
sleeves to put up better article of ball
and with proper coaching and ample
practice should soon be In condition tc

attended the game and enjoyed the fun

Farmer Milo Came Near Losing His Life
in the River.
Sunday morning reservation rancher
by the name of Milo attempted to cross
the Umatilla river at Cayuse and was
almost drowned. The main channel of
of the river has substantial bridge
across it, but on the north side of the
river bottom small slough runs down
which is usually hardly large enough to
frighten hen. Mr.. Milo crossed the
bridge alright and drove into the slough.
His hack was turned over and washed
down against the brush below the ford.
At this stage OF the game some men
working for the Lemery Bros. appeared
on the scene and helped him TO get his
horses loose from the vehicle and drag
ged to the shore.
The rescuers had started after hay
which lay across the river, but the sight
of Mr.. Milo's accident was too much for
their nerves and they returned home
without it.
