ducing crazy pool tables, but not in producing
peerless pastors of the horse hide pellet or ter

thing like that you might be pardoned for
boasting of your place as remarkable"
We set down then and listened to Jason Jim
son tell of the remarkable doings in the National
and American Leagues. He began by telling
about the crowds.
Hundred thousand people at the games.

won from the Maps a week ago there was more
than that. l pitched great ball that day"
Here ChOpemout Clancy interrupted BY say
ing he'd never heard of no Jimson pitcher for
the Chicago Americans.
Course you didn't" came back Jason, very
prompt; THAT amt my real name. I'm here
under nom de plume, a alias, or whatever
you call it when you're disguised. | can't tell
you who | am, reilly, because somebody might
hear of it and poison me or kidnap me or
somethin', before the worlds series starts.
"As | was saying the crowds is immense.
Whenever you make good play up there the
applause near makes you deet and the band
plays up on See the Conquering Herop Then
maybe a rich guy comes out o the grand stand
and hands you fifty or a hundred.
Then there's many natural phenomenonS
that make them big leagues remarkable. In
Pittsburgh the smokes SO thick the out fielders
wear fog bells SOS they won't collide in it,
We begun To feel rather punk. When we
had five hundred people at a game we were
doing well, and if we made good play it wasn't
rewarded with anything.
Out in St. Looey once we had a narrow
escape" says Jason Jimson, going on with his
nterestin' talk. We was tied, nothin' to

is ate up too. and Sully gets homer an wins

We were silent shame faced, and felt no
account when Jason closed.
The next day Jason put on ball suit, but

wouldn't pitch. He said he must save his arm,
but as a special favor would play second base
for us in the game with the Biffhurst nine- He
made a fairly good job of it; but it wasn't
till the ninth inning that things interestin
happened
We were a run behind when the fatal ninth
opened, the score, / think. being to 4 Chop
ernOut Clancy was up first, and he promptly
laid down beautiful bunt near the third base
line that let him get to first. Long Arm Leary
got hit with the ball, and then Chicago Glenn
singled, filling the bases. With nobody out
and the Chicago player at the bat. the game
looked like ours.
Crack Jason Jirnson met the first ball
pitched with slash that sent it booming for
the left field fence. 1t looked an easy homer.

to us one afternoon when steadily falling rain
made it impossible for us to play a ball game
and the Slug2itt Corners nine was seated in
the billiard room of the Sluggitt Inn We
were watching some fancy shots on the pool
table which gave the room its name, when the
stranger introduced himself to Sure Eye Sim

rest up for the great series of championship

That little remark of
New-York tribune., 1906-10-07

Everybody on the bags
started to trot leisurely
around. when, bangl a
great seam opened in
the earth in the center
of the diamond and
steam began to squirt
out. At the same time
the whole out field began
to wave violently, the
earth going up and
down. As Jason put out
his foot to touch first

up by a gaping seam.

ATHENA, ORE, AUGUST. ...7, 1906

The consumptive power OF this
country is enormous and indications
point to the fact that it is steadily
overtaking production. Though last
year wheat crop was a.big one,it is al
ready practically consumed, and
when the new crop reaches the market
clean bins will await it everywhere.
The northwest stock represented about
one half of the visable, supply two
months ago, but it will all be used up
before the products Of the present
harvest have appeared in the principal
grain centers. From this it would
seem that we do not have to look far
into the future 10 see the wheat of
the Inland Empire ground into flour
instead of exporting the wheat for
milling purposes. When the time
comes it will be better for all con-
cerned.

FAIRY TALES IN SCHOOL.
Spokesman-R Review.


A novel course of instruction has
been adopted in the vacation schools
in Chicago and one which is not
likely to meet with the approval OF
many thoughtful persons. A young
woman has been engaged by the board
of education TO tell the little children
stories about FAIRIES, giants. dragons,
witches aud mythical princesses. II
is announced that the object is to
"turn the mind of tho children from
the street and divert them into
realms where the fiat buildings are
built of pink icings aud gingerbread,
aud where the fairy prince kills the
dragon and bears tho fairy princess

We have seen several comments on
the death, characteristics and aecumu-
lated fortune of Russell Sage. The
list would be incomplete without this
one, from the Pilot Rock Record
Russell Sage left every dollar of
his fortune to Mrs. Sage. Not dol
lar was left to charity or to any of his
poor relations. The fortune is esti-
mated at $4,000, 900. The body OF
the dead millionaire was shipped to
Troy, New York, where it was buried
in Oakwood cemetery, beside that of
his first wife. Evidently he died with
out warning, otherwise he would have
walked to Troy in order to save rail
road fare. !"

THE DALLES MILITARY ROAD.
Baker City Herald.

1t IL said of the United States Gov
ernment that it is most particular.
This may be true in email things and
W here ;ertain individuals are con-
cerned. but when it comes to big
steal the United States Government
is bowling infant. One of the most
glaring examples of this kind is the
pseudo military read constructed from
The Dalles to Bosie City. The com
pany constructing the blazed trail re
ceived from the Government the most
valuable timber and grazing land in
that section of the State of Oregon.
And they gave absolutely nothing in
return. Not even a road. There is
20 Dalles military road. 1t was new
er built and never will be, but the
company mas the deed to the lands.
The road is one of the most humor-
ous things of these Government con-
tracts. 1t runs from the summit of the
John Day pass directly across the
mountains, along a route that a
packhorse cannot travel. There is no
semblance of road. The trees are
not even cut, being merely blazed.
The road used by the company "build-
ing" this military road is county
road aud is today the only road
through that section of the country.
The Dalles military road is marked
by blazcd trees ard that is all,
Bus the company got every odd sec
tiou for distance of three miles on
either sid of this road. aud wnere
there was laud already settled upon
the company got lieu-land script and
took up all the good land in the Logan
Valley, Summit Valley. Crane Valley
and innumerable other rich sections.
Aud now this company owns this
land absolutely aud even charges
sheep aud cattle men for crossing it to
get to the pasture land in the forest
reserves. There are two absolute
idiots iu the United States Govern
ment Administration. One is the man
who accepted the Dalles military road,
and the other is tho man who is re-
sponsible for the forest reserve policy.
The first belongs to the penitentiary
and the other should be in an insane
asylum.

After all, it was perhaps better that
Foster Dwight Coburn decided not to
waste himself ON the United States
Senate. He can do more good writing
instructive books for the farmer g.,
telling them how to raise alfalfa and
do other useful things. His talents
and energies will best be displayed by
continuing to advertise the resourc es
of his own great state of Kansas and
the vast possibilities of the southwest
along agricultural lines.

people disapprove Of, but believe they
are good for children"
There is a grave reason in doubt
whether the creepy kind''or any other
kind of mythical stories are good for
children. Many parents of the present
day object strongly to having their
children taught in this kind of lore.
They feel that it gives the little ones
fanciful ideas not beneficial to prop
er development of their minds Ad-
vocates of fairy tales argue that the
imaginative faculties are encouraged
and there is no doubt they are, but
there is generally quite enough of i'm
agination in the average youthful
mind, and whatever help is given
to its development might better be in
channels where fact and truth were
not entirely disregarded. The child
is seldom taught at the same time
that the fairy story is simply make
believe. The knowledge comes later
and a distrust is created in regard
to tales based on facts.
The imagination has been distorted
rather than developed. False impress
sions have been implanted in the
mind and the germs sown which are
likely to breed foundness for light
and frivoeous literature instead Of
that which will improve the intellect.
