Farce Comedy on the Bali Ground.

From one viewpoint 1t might have
been tragedy OF the diamond, and
from another a farce comedy which
fully 1000 people gathered at the spe-
cially enclosed grounds on Valley ave-
nue. last Sunday afternoon to witness,
when a specially gathered nine of Ba-
ker's unclassfied ball tossers went up
against the travelling Sioux Nation
team. The seasoned red men demon
strated that they have a training in
the game which would make them
hard to beat even at the hands Of any
OF the clubs out OF the major leagues.
But the local boys played their very
best and by an exhibition of endeavor
earned the good will Of their oppon-
ents
The score at its conclusion stood 26
to 9 in favor OF the aborigines. The
afternoon crowd was very large and
when night came only few who
gathered to see to what extent the
diamond could be illuminated gath
cred. These were dismissed and the
canvasmen got busy.-Baker City

Monday evening opened the bids for
the construction of the new Central

that the lowest figures submitted ap-
proxmated $4,000 more than II had

cost, While 1t had been expected the
new structures might be erected for
about $4,000 each, 1t was found that
the lowest bids on the two buildings.
with the foundations, heating plants.
etc, would amount to $105,445.
In spite of this fact however, the
school board decided to go ahead with
the work, and let the contracts to the
lowest bidders, conditioned upon the
voting of the bonds by the electors of
the school district and other condi-
tions that may arise. The election for
the authorization of the necessary
bonds is to be called at once.-Boise

was assigned to duty on the south
fork OF the Payette river, reports that
he has employed eight men to assist

an area four miles wide by 10 miles
long. Superintendent e. b. True, of
the Mammoth mine, has force Of
men assisting the rangers and num-
Der OF individual miners and prospec-
tors have joined in the work. They
have the fire surrounded and under
control so far as its spreading Is con-
cerned, and efforts are being directed
to confinlng Its lines so as to prevent
the destruction of timber within the
territory surrounded. Mr. Payne has
authority to employ as much addition
al help as is necessary to extingulsh
the fire, and hopes are entertained
that he will succeed by the end OF the
week
The report states that another fire
has started east of Pioneerville, near

though not of much consequence at
this time is apt to spread into a very

are to remain as guests of the city

The entire trouble seems to be caus-
ed by one or two saloons In the city
which sell to the Indians. Most of
the saloon men will not allow an
Indian inside of their doors, but the
exceptions are causing a good deal
of trouble. The situation is a good
deal worse in the country than It is in
town, as the majority OF the redskins
buy bottled goods and take 1t with
them to the hop fields and in their

ing of liquor to the aborigines, but
