The initial game of basket ball at the
Morrisville gymnasium was played be-
tween Stowe High School and Peoples
Academy last Saturday evening and was
we'll attended. The game was not close
" contested enough to be particularly in
teresting, although the audience was
kept good natured by special features
and were given a chance to see variety
of NAV. as several of the candidates for
p. AS. regular team were "tried out" in
the last half. The final score was 81 to
q The line up was as follows at the
start. p. A.-Fisher, c.; Roy Stafford and
woodward. forwards; Guy Stafford and
Liberty. guards. S. III. S.-Boardman,
G. Brown and Stone, forwards; Hoising-
ton and Robinson, guards. The other p.
A. players were weafer, Woods, Kramer,
Tinker and Thomas. Stowe made six
points from fouls and two from the floor.
They showed good timber for fast team,
with the right kind of training, and put
up a good fight. P. A. has got whole
lot of hard practice ahead, which, it is
expected. will develop the fastest team
j. the history of local basket ball.
The next game will be played this
week Friday in the local "Gym," against
Barton Academy.

Although II will be a mixed train
the same coaches will be used
throughout the run, giving Heppnei
a much better service. 1t is also the
intention to make it an every day
service, thus giving us a Sunday train
which we have not enjoyed hereto,
fore.
The plan is not only to give extra
accommodation to all points and
branch lines between here and Port
land, but as well to save time on the
overland which would then not be
required to make stops at the minor
stations, the local train taking that
service by stopping at all points. The
schedule will probably be for a train

Cornucopia Is n Great and Booming
Camp.
1t now seems to be the general be-
lief that the new railroad from Union
will go on to Snake river eventually,
and that on the way it will touch the
principal mining camps of Union and
Baker counties. Among them is Cor
nucopia, camp OF undoubted wealth
and evcellent prospects, of which the
Baker Democrat Of recent date says:
"Cornucopia is just now the boom
ing camp Of eastern Oregon. It has
all the ear-marks of a great gold and
copper producer. A man who has Just
come in from camp states that Cornu-
copia is already a world-beater. Over
200 men are already at work in the
different mines, and three mills, new
ones. will be running in very few
days, turning out concentrates and
bullion. Men are being hired as fast
as they come along. Besides the May
flower Union Companion and Queen
of the West, several other properties
are being developed, and will soon be
at the stage where they will demand
machinery"

Huntington, Aug. Nv. E. Stark
met his death yesterday in the waters
of the Snake in Box canyon. He was
in charge of an engineering crew of
the Short Line that is running a line
through the canyon. It became nee
essary for him to climb to a danger
Gus position, but it was thought he
could retain his ,foothold. In some
manner he slipped, however, and
went into the water. In the swirling
current he had no chance for his life
and was soon lost to sight. When
the man left who brought the news
of the accident the body had not been
recovered. but dilligent efforts We're
being made to find it.
The antecedents of the unfortunate
man are not known. He was about
2S years of age, but information about
his family and his home is lacking.

DRAGGED TO DEATH BY FOOT.
Awful Tragedy on MalOney Mountain
I'm Columbia County.

About 2 o'clock last Monday after
noon a young boy named George r.
Ewing met with a terrible death by
being dragged along the ground with
his foot fast in the stirrup, the acci
dent happening on Maloney noun
tain, says the Dayton Courier-Press.
AS near as can be learned George
and a younger brother were riding
a neighbor's pony, the former being
in the saddle, the other sitting behind
him. A dog belonging to the boys Is
said to have snapped at the pony's
heels, very likely in play, which
frightened the horse into a gallop.
The ground was wet and slippery, and
the pony fell, throwing the two. boys,
but the younger one was not much
hurt. The other caught his foot in
one of the stirrups and was dragged
about 200 yards before his foot was
released.
The younger brother hurried after
the horse and arrived where his
brother lay, who was yet conscious,
and he asked his little brother II he
could assist him to the house. The
little fellow ran to the Granger house
not far away, to summon assistance,
and Mrs. Granger and another lady
went to his aid, but the young man
died before he could be moved. His
head and body were badly bruised up,
and it is said that his neck was bro
ken.
The father and his eldest son were
working in the harvest field about 90
miles away and they were summoned.
The dead boy was caring for his
five younger brothers and sister, the
youngest being only 16 months old,
while his father and elder brothers
were at work harvesting. The mother
died in April 1905.

State Horticultural Commissioner
Huntly arrived in Walla Walla over
the Northern Pacific this morning
and spent the day in company with
County Inspector Ritz interviewing
growers and commission men and in
inspecting fruit being offered for sale
at the various grocery stores, says the
Walla Walla Statesman.
inspector Ritz sent for me to come
to Walla Walla to look into local con-
ditions," said Commissioner Huntl".
"It seems growers have in several in
stances neglected to properly OBJ
serve the laws relating to the spray
ing of their orchards and in conse>
quence considerable infected fruit is
being offered for sale. The state
laws in this respect are very rigid
and we have no option in the matter
except to see that they are properly
observed. 1t seems a hardship on
some OF the growers but If they will
get in and clean up their orchards we
won't have this difficulty.
Cannot Show Partially.
I'VE cannot show partiality. Some
OF the growers have promised to OBJ
serve the spraying law another year
IL we let them off this season but it
would be the old story again next
year and cannot be tolerated.
Taking the state over there has
been a pronounced improvement in
the fruit industry this year over for
mer years. Growers are waking up
to the fact that there is big money in
clean fruit, and in consequence they
are putting forth every effort to keep
their orchards clean. 1t is a sad fact
to relate but Walla Walla county has
the reputation of marketing more
unclean fruit than any other fruit
section in hte state. This should not
be so, in view OF the fact that the
Walla Walla valley is one of the
most favored spots in the entire west
and should make its fruit industry
one of its chief resources.
More Money in Clean Orchards.
"The growers here could make
three dollars where they make one
now If they would keep their orchards
clean. 1t will take a few years to
bring about an improvement in con-
ditions. but they would be away ahead
in the end"
Commissioner Huntley stated this
morning that he would like to see
as large an attendance OF growers and
others interested in the fruit industry
as possible at tonight's meeting.
Growers as well as the sellers. will be
given an opportunity to discuss the
local situation. Commissioner Hunt
ly will address the meeting and inter-
pref the state laws regarding infected
fruit and viii also take up the indus
try in general. Mr.. Huntly has de-
voted years to the fruit industry and
is an entertaining talker.

AT ITS MARKET VALUE.
Important Ruling by Washington
State Tax Commission.

state lax COMMISSION.
Olympia, Aug. 1S.-In the absence
Of any ruling by the courts on the
subject, the state tax commission has
passed on the question of the proper
valuation to be put on real estate that
is owned by banks, in connection with
the assessment of bank stock. The
tax commission says such property
should be assessed at its market
value.
The inquiry at hand comes from the
board of equalization of jefferson
county, but the question raised is en-
countered in various parts of the
state. In Port Townsend the local
banks had been obliged to take prop
erty on foreclosure proceedings which
cost the banks much more than the
property was worth in the market. In
other counties the same question is
presented where property is worth
much more than what 1t cost the
banks.

POLL TAX LAW VOID.

That is, Outside of Washington In
corporations.
Olympia, Aug. 1S.-In an opinion
handed down by Judge Linn held
constitutional and void the present
polf tax law of the state of Washing
ton, providing for the levy and col
lection of poll tax upon all male in
habitants between the ages of 81 and
so years, who live outside of the in
corporated towns and cities. The law
was attacked from several stand
points but chiefly as class legislation
in that it exempts a large class of the
inhabitants of the state. The case
will be appealed to the supreme court
in order that final determination of
the question may be had.

sideration being $4,000. Mr.. Mad

Wheat hauling has commenced in

Andrew Rood returned Saturday
from a trip through Grant county,
where he had been for the purpose Of
buying sheep, but he considered the
price at which yearlings were held too
high to Justify investment in them,
so he returned empty-handed. Year-
ling wethers were what Mr.. Rood
wanted and the growers held them n.
s3.25. but that was more than Mr..
Rood was willing to pay.
The Times is quite sure that Mr..
Mills, livestock agent for the o. R.
& N, did this county an injustice by
his statement that the crop shortage
would be SIS per cent and at the same
time Umatilla county will harvest as
much as last year. Mr.. Mills proba-
bly, guessed at the Morrow county
crop and relied upon statements of
Umatilla county people for informa-
tion in that county, as he had been in
Pendleton and not In Morrow coun-
ty. Now the Times does not question
his statement regarding the crops OF
our neighbor, but we do question that
65 per cent shortage in this county
From the most reliable information
we can gather the crop OF our county
will not fall short to exceed one-third
possibly 40 to so per cent in some
localities-but in others the shortage
will amount to but n small per cent
