Guess Were Some.

The following from the Spokesman
Review, shows a prominence which
Wood, who is content to ride in a
stock Car, can never hope to attain:
"There has been strong feeling of
rivalry between the editors of the
Athena Press and the Weston Leader,
located in adjoining towns. Wednes-
day morning as the excursion train
which carried the NVoodmen from
Walla Walla to the Pendleton fair
pulled into Athena, the Weston editor,
seeing no one on the platform, re-
marked dryly, with broad smile,
Is this the best Athena can d. for
the big day at the county fail p
Pointing to the rear of the train as
it commenced to back up. the agent
quietly remarked: The people are
all crowded into Editor Boyd's special
car that is to be coupled to the rear
end of this train.

Athena Man In The Relay Race
AT Walla Walla Fair
STANDS GOOD CHANCE TO WIN
He Made Three Changes and Won
From Ed. Jesse Two Miles
In Fast Time of 5:34.

Walla Walla, Oct. 2.--What was
looked upon by many as the most in
teresting event of the day at the fair
yesterday, was the running of the first
two miles of the six days relay race.
The riders changed horses and saddles
at every half mile aud there was
much excitement during this race,
which is one of speed, endurance and
skill. "Jinks" Taylor, of Athena,
proved to be the speediest in making
the change and maintained the lead
from tie start. He made the one
change and finished the first mile in
$3.50, and made the two miles in 5:34
after making three changes. Ed Jesse
finished the first mile just 3 seconds
behind Taylor, and made the two
miles in 5:501s. VIM. McManamon
bad some splendid horses, but seemed
to have hard luck in making the
changes. Should he get off better in
this respect during the remainder of
the week, he has a good chance for
the money. His time for the first
mile was 1888, but he was delayed
at the last half and finished the two
miles in 6:2O.

A BIG CROP FOR BELL 8 SON
Delivered 1894 Sacks of Wheat to
Athena Grain Buyers.

OF the many large wheat growers in
the Athena neighborhood, Bell q Son
rank we'll at the top Of the list.
In past years they have raised large
crops of wheat aud generally sell
when the market is at the highest
price. The present year is no excep-
tion with this firm, and the season 4
crop is one of the best Bell & Son have
harvested and marketed in Athena.
The crop this season, on the Bell
ranch and on leased reservation land,
totaled 19.964 sacks and was contract
ed for by Athena buyers at go cents
per bushel. The work of hauling the
grain was completed Saturday noon,
and already the big mule teams have
com menced work on the preliminaries
of next seasons crop, in the cultiva
tion CT summer fallow land that is tc
be seeded to fall wheat.

road for moving wheat which has
been accumulating along the line
since the filling Of the warehouses.
The company hopes to be able to take
care of the unprotected wheat before
bad weather sets in. Open cars in
large numbers are being used by the
road on its Eureka Flat branch, along
which the wheat warehouses are filled
to their utmost capacity and thousands
of sacks of grain are piled on the
ground.
On the Athena branch of the W. &
O. R. there is much wheat in storage
at the different stations, which but
for the car shortage would have been
shipped out long ago.
The present price offered for wheat,
"a cents is not stiff enough to cause
much grain to change from the hands
of the raiser to the buyer, the result
being that there remains considerable
grain unsold in Athena.

PROMINENT SALESMAN DEAD.
George Williams of Walla Walla
Passes Away at Wardner.

George Williams, probably the lest
known aud most popular travelling
man making this district, died at
Wardner Saturday after an illness
from peritonitis, which began two
weeks ago last Monday. When taken
violently i'll while attending to his
business, Mr.. Williams was taken to
a hospital where an operation was i'm
mediately performed. A special train
from Walla Walla brought Mrs. Will
Jams and DR.. Shaw from that city,
and the wife was at her husbands
bedside when death came.
Mr. Williams originally came from
Denver, where his relatives reside, and
his home was in Walla Walla. He
had travelled in and out of this district
for years for the Allen & Lewis com
pany of Portland, wholesale grocers,
and was reputed to be the highest
Galaried salesman coming to the dis
trict, drawing $4,000 year with ex-
penses.

from baIbwire fence iu a dying con-
dition. Investigation showed that
Mr.. Day had attempted to crawl
through wire fence, when a loose
wire had caught the trigger and dis
charged the gun. The charge entered
the right side just above the hip and
LOGGED in the spine. The uufortu-
