WILL EXTEND
BALL SEASON

The regular league baseball
schedule ends September 3 but
that does not end the games plan
ned for the Indians. There will
probably be three weeks more of
baseball tackled onto the Indians

team that wants to play will be
taken on. The leaders of the City

and hackers of the City league will
do some wagering that their teams
are just as fast as the leaguers.

1t must be acknowledged that the very seri-
Gus matter of the religious education of the
children of this country is not in a satisfactory
condition. Home teaching, even among profess
ing Christians, is not what is was, being reIe-
gated to the Sunday-school And in the Sun
day-school, with all the efforts at improvement,
after all, the instruction is limited to half an
hour on Sunday morning, and is imperfect at
best In the public schools religious instruc
ton is almost wholly excluded and the best we
can hope for in the secular common school is
In the character and influence Of the Christian
teachers. 1t seems utterly impracticable to SUP,
port Parochial schools under the care of the

unanimously adopted 1t will receive attention
no doubt, throughout the country.
Resolved, that in the need of more systematic
education in religion, we recommend for the ia

ties of the country the proposal to allow the chill
uren to absent themselves without detriment from
the public school on Wednesday or on some other
afternoon of the school work for the purpose of
attending religious instruction i'm their own
churches; and we urge upon the churches the adj
visibility of availing themselves of the opportuni
ty so granted to give such instruction in addition
to that given on Sunday.

His domestic life was in some respects re-

SALOONS MAY OPEN.
Wallowa County May Take Advantage
OF New Law,

ii. B. Royce, proprietor of the Owl
saloon in Joseph, Ore, is in the city
for few days, says the Walla Walla'
Union. Mr.. Royce says all the sa-
looms in Wallowa county have closed
but 1t is expected that they will open
again soon, regardless of the fact that
the county went dry at the recent elec-
ton.
By the initiative proceedings under
the laws of Oregon, the voters of that
state passed law in June giving the
power to Incorporated cities and towns
of amending their own charters. It
is now argued by the liquor men that
under this law city or town may
amend its Charter and grant license
to sell liquor and that the saloons may
do business under such license with
out being subject to punishment.
By this method the saloon men ex-
pect to be able to defeat the local op-
ton law and open up for business in
the cities that will amend their char
ters and grant licenses.

NEW FRUIT PEST.
Brown Insect Devastates Bushes In
Yakima County.


Yakima County.
The following letter concerning a
new and destructive fruit pest has
just been received by the Yakima Re-
public:
Editor Republic: We have found a
new pest on our fruit trees and shrubs
in our locality. 1t seems to be of the
aphis specie, only it is brown or near
ly red in color, and very small In size,
hardly visible to the eye. II Is very
quick in action, resembling a race
horse when looked at under the glass.
The little newcomer seems to take up
its abode on the sunny side of the
fruit trees and shrubs, but does not
confine itself to this one location,
however; t may be found on all parts
Of the tree.
II seems to live and propagate on
the upper glossy side of the leaves,
covering itself with fuzz or texture
which is very thin. On first noticing
this pest in the orchards, you VIII at
once think the trees have been sub
ject to an excessive dust bath, or are
in need OF irrigation. But upon close
inspection you will see the small in
sect as described above sucking the
life from the leaves thus changing
the beautiful green color to brown
ish green, then gradually dead
brown follows.
Now our little enemy is ready to
migrate to greener pastures. Anyone
may see this little pest in the orchards

Mr.. AND MRS. J. H. KOONTz
PIONEERS OF .UMAT|LLA

The following sketch of Mr.. and
Mrs, ]. II. Koontz, the respected pio-
neers of Echo, was written for tn,
Portland oregonian by Bert Huffman.
editor Of the East Oregonian, and
appeared, with photographs in the
Oregonian of July 80. The article is
as follows:
Forty-three years ago. in the
spring of 1858, a young man fresh
from the new state of Iowa, set up a
news stand in Umatilla landing. on the
Columbia river, and began selling the
Portland oregonian to the hordes of
prospectors. immigrants, adventurer
and argonauts which surged along the
trails of the west at that time.
Owing to the fact that the Oregon
ian was the only newspaper of any
consequence published in the north
west, and to the farther fact that the
hungry argonauts were always anx-
ious for the news, this thrifty young
man handled $50 to zoo Oregonians
each day in his little shed in the old
river town.
That was the beginning of a for
tune now valued at almost 100000,
accumulated by thrift, good manage
ment and hard labor in Echo and
Umatilla landing.
]. II. Koontz, this young Iowan,
crossed the plains with his wife and
two small children in the summer oil
1852. going first to Portland, where
he followed the trade of a carpenter
for year. and in the spring of 1863
he moved to Umatilla. He was the
only regular news agent in the town
at that time, and his place was the
rendezvous of all newcomers who had
been lost to the world in the wilder
ness of the west, and who were starv-
ing for sight of home paper and
the news of the States
Papers from the east came by the
long route around the Horn or by the
stagecoach across the plains, and
were weeks and even months old by
the time they reached Umatilla land
ing. But the river boats, six or seven
of which piled upon the Columbia
river at that time. brought out the
Portland Oregonian, fresh from the
presses, only two days old. and ver-
table storehouse of news.
Became Merchant.
By dint of hard labor and good
management, Mr.. Koontz started n
small store in Umatilla landing in
1864. and in that year was appointed
postmaster. which position he held
for II years, during all of which
period he conducted one of the larg-
est mercantile establishments in Una.
tilla landing. He paid S25 a front
foot for 10 feet of ground beside the
store, run by a man named Wilkin-
son and built a shed or "lean-to," as
it is called, and put his stock into this
space at first.
Fortunes Waxed and Waned.
At times the streets of the old town
were filled full of pack trains going
to and fro from the mines, the river
boats were loaded to the limit and
the immigrant wagons, the white
winged messengers of civilization
thronged down the trails, and bust
ness flourished.
Gold dust was the principal coin
of the realm at that time. The mines
of eastern Oregon and Idaho were
thriving. and every miner carried his
buckskin sack filled with the shining
dust fresh from the hidden canyons
of the great mountain ranges of the
inland empire.
As Umatilla landing waxed and

Repairs Cause DELAYS.

The repairs to the track on the
Blue mountains cause many delays to
passenger trains now, on account of
the block signal system. The track
is raised during the day and in dis
turbing it in this way the circuit OF
the block signal system is broken and
the lights show danger. Trains must
flag through the entire block while
the signal is in danger position. This
causes considerable delay as a brake
man must walk ahead Of the train to
be certain that no other train is in the
block.
