Commended in Portland.

The Portland Telegram says of the
ROscian Opera company:
If the majority of the $3.50 and even
50 musical attractions which come to
Portland had as many good voices
as were found at the Marquam Grand
last night, the public would be thank
Of beautiful scenery. At popular prices
the Roscian Opera company gives
big return for the money. The COM
pany does not make pretensions to a
production, but as for harmony,
among principals and chorus, they
put to shame many big companies.

DEFEATED THE coLFAx HIGH
SCHOOL AT BASKETBALL
LAST NIGHT.
Fastest Game Ever Put up in WaIls
Walla-Cox Was the Star
Player.

The oft made statement that Whit
man this year has the fastest basket
ball team it ever had, was amply
proven last night by the way the mis-
sionaries put it over the Colfax high
school team to the tune Of SO to 10.
Last year this same team beat Whit
man, but then Whitman did not have
Cox in the game last year. Cox was
the particular luminous star in Whit
mans ascendant constellation last
night He threw 10 Of the mission
airy goals and was in the game every
second Of those strenuous 20 minute
halves.
1t was undoubtedly the fastest game
Of basketball ever seen in Walla Wal
la. The lads from Whitman county
were quick and gritty, but they were
no match for the superior training and
generalship of the local college.
Laughridge for Whitman did excel
lent work, making three pretty goals
while Canutt, the Colfax center was
far and away the best man in their
aggregation Whitman made her first
goal inside of minute, and the ex-
citement grew intense as the visitors
piled up four points After that Whit
man began doing things and the size
of the score was, the only doubtful
point. The visitors were far inferior
in goal throwing to the missionaries,
who kept the goal in their opponents
territory most of the time. The al
phabetical system of signals used by
Whitman was a feature of the game.
Following is the lineup of the teams:
Whitman-Center, Cox; forwards,
RAIDER and Brown; guards, Rigsby
and Laughridge. Bassett and Fancner
took the place of Brown and Reser in
the last part of the game.
Colfax-Center, Canutt, forwards,
Bragg and Kimbrough; guards, Bur-
gander and Patterson; substitute, Nc
Phee.

Harold Begbie, author Of the "Maste.
Workers." says Of a recent interview
with John Morley: II asked him what
his comfort was, how he supported the
burden Of all this unintelligible world,
how he justified unselfishness and
righteousness in purely material
world. His comfort Is that the world
grows better, that man is happier in
doing good than evil and that life
even as we know it's good"

or nearly whole year, on the ocean.

7AVORS IN STORE FOR THE PINK SUMMER MAIDEN

The woman who is pink this year. is
the woman who win be admired.
Your cheeks must be bright pink;
your flesh must bs a faint pink: the
palms Of your hands must be ripe
pink and your lips must be cherry
pink. They must be so deep a pink
that If they were any pinker they
would be red.
That is the beginning Of the list of
necessary pinks Of the year. but there
are many others.
When the up-to-date woman dresses
herself she pins a bunch Of pink flow
ers IN her corsase; when she goss out
sue wears pink roses; when she rests
in the hammock she has bunch of
pink blossoms. and for afternoons she
IS a dream in spicy smelling eerna-
tons. she chooses pink flowers and
all her garnitures are pink.
Then. perhaps. she dresses in pink IT
may NOT De very pink. but there is just
enough to show you that pink is pres

II may be that she is French in her
tendencies. ana in that case she wears
black gown with touch OF pink
somewhere. Pink and black are ef-
fective. They are the kissable coIors.
One is pathetic, the other is tender. and
the combination of the two is ire
sistible
