Shall Pendleton play ball next sum
mer or does the town again prefer Il
remain upon the sidelines while WallI
walla. La Grunde, Athena and othel
places get into the game and draw
the crowds? This is 4 question tha
is now being asked frequently and the
question of team for Pendleton i:
being seriously considered by loca
fans. That there should be team
by all means, provided grounds car
be secured at proper rates, is the
common Judgment,
George D. O'Connor. who for two
years past has been the moving spirit
in Walla Walla fandum, was in the
city several days ago and he express
ed n strenuous hope that Pendleton
have a team this year.
This town is our best drawing
card" said he. 1.-TWO years ago, when
you had a team here the Walla Walla
team finished the season with $500
profit. Last year we lost 5000 and IT
is mainly because we could have no
reason whv Pendleton team will not
pay and it would be a beneficial thing
to the business interests as we'll as TO
the other towns having teams. I
would like to see your Commercial
association take hold of the matter
and arrange for creditable team.
With proper mana cement it cannot be
a financial failure"
Gym Management Suggested.
Others have also proposed that a
team be organized under the manage
ment of the Commercial association,
as was done two years ago. At that
time the nine finished a season under
the management of Carl Cooley with
a credirahle cash balance. 1t is said
by those who know that with proper
luck several hundred dollars could
he easily made during the ball season.
During the past it has been a con-
stant struggle for the gymnasium
rived from the gym meet the expenses
connected Herewith. 1t has been
found absolutely necessary to raise
money from outside sources in order
to make up the deficit To this end a
local talent entertainment will be
given early in February.
The proposition of backing the ball
team has been already discussed by
the gymnasium committee and by
Others m the Commercial association.
At the January meeting of the COM
mittee the proposition will be form
ally presented. Should it be decided
to take the matter up suitable man.
ager will he chosen and he viii be
given authority to proceed with the
gathering of a team.

FOR ROOSEVELT
Crangeville will Share IN Thun-
der Mountain Trade.

der Mountain Trace.
While a very small portion OF
the supplies used in the Thunder
mountain mining district have
come from the northern portion OF
the state, the present tendency is
to reverse the situation and this
season will see much freight going
into that camp from Camas Prairie.
This will be especially true in the
matter of farm products as the irri-
gated districts of the south cannot
compete with this section in that
line. During the visit here this
week of r. w. Purdham he spent
considerable time interviewing our
leading merchants and concluded
by placing some large orders, with
promises of more in the future. In
almost every line he found prices
much lower here than in south
Idaho and as freight charges are
practically the same the advant-
ages of buying here could readily
be seen. Reeds pack train started
in at once with the goods and an
other train will be on the trail
about July l. By having pack
trains make regular trips to that
section many orders will naturally
come to Grangeville and the bull
of the trade from the mountain
will ae secured for this city wher'
it rightly belongs.

PROMISE IMPROVEMENTS.
Pacific States Telephone Say
They Will do Things.

Con Wilson, of the Pacific States
telebhone company in this city,
has again received word from the
Spokane manager that the long
talked of improvements in the sys-
tenn here would be made at once.
Most of the material is said to now
be in Lewiston. The local phones
promised here, the reduction in
rate and the additional help in the
local Office are all among the
good things said to be coming up.
These have been promised for some
time but the company attributes
the delay to the San Francisco dis
aster which destroyed the head
office and say they are now in
shape to again take up the work.
The business men of the city
have been annoyed almost beyond
endurance by the miserable tele
phone service and it is to be hoped
that long standing promises OF ths
company will now be fulfilled tt
the letter.

GREAT BALL GAME.
Real Estate Men go Down to
Defeat Before the Lawyers.

Defeat Before the Lawyers.
Perhaps the most exciting game
Of base ball ever played in Idaho
took place Monday between
the lawyers and real estate men OF
this city. There were not enough
who understood the game to form
a complete team on either side but
all showed a willingness to learn
and the kind of ball they put up
was the greatest comedy ever en-
acted on a diamond. A number Of
the business houses closed their
doors for the game and the contest
ing teams marched down Main
street to the grounds headed by
Riggs Concert band and followed
by an immense crowd of men, wo.
men and children. B. G. Wiltse
was selected as umpire and when
the real estate men introduced an
indoor ball, five inches in diameter
he ruled that it was admissible
and they had to play with it. Mr.
Wiltse didn't claim to know all
the rules of the game but he had
enough assistance from the "root'
ers" that he kept his decisions or
a par with the playing. At the
end of the game the score stood
II to 8 in favor Of the attorneys.
1t was certainly great success ant
if every body present had paid I
a dollar admission, they would al
have felt that they had their mon
eys worth.

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
Hon. w. E. Borah Sees Grange
Vile for First Time.

WIG iOi %
Hon. w. f. Borah, a leading at
torney of this state and the most
prominently mentioned republican
candidate for the United States
senate, made his first visit to
Grangeville Saturday. While his
visit was no doubt largely in the
interest of the senatorial campaign,
there were some business matters
to attend to and portion Of his
time was spent in the court house.
Mr.. Borah is an enthusiastic sup
porter of the plan to nominate b
senator in state convention and in
case this is carried out he will un-
doubtedly be the nominee. Most
people, regardless of party affilia-
ton, believe that he was entitled
to the place two years ago, and
while there is still considerable op-
position to his candidacy it is
largely from among the politicians
and not the masses. His record as
a lawyer and citizen is all that
could be desired in public officer
and In case of his election the inter
ests of the whole state of Idaho
would be ably served.
Mr.. Borah was accompanied by
r. w. Purdham, general manager
Of the Sunnyside mine at Thunde
mountain, who had business OF
legal nature to look after. Boil
gentlemen were greatly impressed
with the resources of Camas Prairi
! and predict for it great future.

MAKE CAMP
AT GRANGEVlLLE
Northern Pacific Forces Commenced
Work here Tuesday.
Be GRADING WITHIN THREE WEEKS
A Big Traction Engine Will be
Put on the Work.

S. ]. Smith, the Northern Paci-
fic engineer in charge OF construc-
ton, and G. A. Carlson, superin-
tendent for Contractors Porter Bros
& Welsh, arrived here Monday
afternoon to arrange for immedi-
ate work on the railroad from this
end of the line. Mr.. Smith placed
a surveying crew, under Engineer
Caughbray, at work cross-section-
ing while Mr.. Carlson selected a
site for grading camp and inter-
viewed our lumber dealers as t.
prices at which bridge material
could be secured. Both men left
Tuesday, Mr.. Smith for Culdesac
and Mr.. Carlson for Spokane where
he will arrange to bring in grad
ing crew at once.
In an interview Mr.. Carlson
said they had selected a camp site
about one mile west Of town on the
creek at what is known as the
Pearson ranch and would have
grading crew at work within three
weeks. Their supplies will be
shipped to Sites at once and a
large 26-horse-power traction en-
CINE will be brought up to handle
the grader. The work between
here and Cottonwood contains but
little or no rock and could be hand
led rapidly by this method. He
said it was the intention OF the
contractors to complete all of the
work en- the Prairie before cold
weather set in or by the first OF
, November. When asked how
many men would be put at work,
he said it depended on how many
r they could secure. After getting
: fairly started he said they could
j use $50 teams to an advantage.
Y Porter Bros. & Welch have a force
l of men at. work in Washington
: which Mr.. Carlson said would be
g brought here in a short time as
4 their contract there is about com
0 pleted. The fact that construction
r work ia going to be begun on this
Q end of the road, is most welcome
news to our. people and will de
il much toward stimulating business
d in all lines.

Ilwaco Springs.
AS Seen BY Prof. H. L. Wilson.
State Normal School.

State Normal School.
River Falls, Wis, April II.
DEAR MRS. TozER AND MISS MORSE:
/ take pleasure in saying a word
for Ilwaco Springs. After having
spent parts of two summers with
my family at the already famous
summer resort, ought to be able
to understand and appreciate it's
advantages and natural beauties.
The location is sufficiently dis
tant from the noise and stir of the
world, and also near enough to the
source of supplies, to make this a
desirable retreat for those who wish
few weeks relaxation from the
strain of the busy world.
The surroundings are very pic
turesque. The cottages are situated
Oh the east side of Lake st. Croix
on gently sloping tract of land
just back of which a precipitous
bluff rises to the height of about
hundred and fifty feet; along the
side of this bluff and on the land
occupied by the cottages is dense
growth of trees; and gushing out
from the hillside is the clear, cold,
refreshing spring water which alone
would make this desirable camp
ing ground. Below the cottages
lies the beautiful Lake st. Croix, at
times quiet and as smooth as glass,
while at other times, the hidden
forces of nature are aroused and
the surface of the lake is rolled into
huge waves which break into white
caps and are angrily dashed against
the shore. On the opposite side of
the lake are the forest-covered
bluffs of Minnesota, tinted in var
iety of colors and winding in SER
pentine curves for miles to the
north and to the south.
Added to these charms which APP
peal to the lover of nature, are the
curative properties which the ply
sicians attribute to the spring wat
er, and the relief which sufferers
from hay fever experience while at
Ilwaco. Besides, there are oppor-
tunities for rowing, fishing and
bathing: and for shelter and rest,
new, clean and convenient cottages,
furnished with all the necessaries
of camp life are provided.
Very truly,
H. L. WILSON.

NJ E MORTAL DAY
What Can We Do to Assist The
Grand Army Post In The
Observance of Me-
mortal Day?

A few weeks ago DR.. Clough
made plea through the JOURNAL
for aid to the Grand Army in the
observance OF Memorial Day.
Some people seem to draw the con-
clusion from that appeal that the
Post of this place desires to dele
gate the services of Memorial Day,
including the decoration of the
graves of their buried comrades, TO
other hands. This we think is an
erroneous inference. The commu-
nifty at large can do much to make
Memorial Day in its intended SER
vices to the dead of the civil war
an impressive occasion. All class
es are in sympathy with the COM
memoration ceremonies. All rec
ognize the observance of the day to
give the very best of lessons in pat
riotism. The sympathy of the
community is with the Grand Army
in its Decoration Day services.
The community wants to know
what it can do in furtherance of the
proper observance of the day in the
ceremonies under the direction of
the posts. The Grand Army must
have charge of it's own ritual in the
decoration of the graves of their
dead comrades. 1t can no more
delegate this function than the Ma
sons or any other benevolent society
can request other than their own
officials to perform the specific
rites for the dead inculcated in their
ritual, but the community at large
can join with the members of the
posts to make an appropriate and
impressive parade. The people can
assist in furnishing band; take
charge of the music and the speak
ing at the cemetery; can and should
help the veterans bear the expense
incident to the occasion. 1t may
be readily seen that money is need
ed to provide for the ceremonies of
the day. Many cities vote sum
to the local Post sufficient to defray
these expenses, an act that is COM
mended by every patriot.
The ranks of the Grand Army of
the Republic are being rapidly deci-
mated. Not one third of that host
of 100000 that marched south
ward between 81 and '65 survive,
and these are marching on the
double quick to their final bivouac.
Not many years hence the last of
the veterans will sleep in the win
dowless palace of rest" and the
Grand Army will be only memory.
When the Posts are mustered out
Shall the decoration of the graves
cease to be an annual observance?
And if not who will with loving re-
membrance and reverent hands lay
the flowers upon the grassy
mounds? Few veterans who sur
vived the war are chi1dless. There
are proba1y 10000 sons of veter-
ans, host twice as large as that
called to arms in the SOS. From
the nature of things, these, when
their fathers sleep in the grassy
tents under the weeping willows,
will cherish their memory and con-
slider it an honor that to them is left
the task of perpetuating Memorial
Day.

Death OF Hugh Cameron.

Hugh Cameron died at the home
his daughter in Spokane, Washing
ton, last Friday, April Is, 1906. He
had been in ordinary health until
attacked with pneumonia four days
before his death. He was 80 years
old. Mr.. Cameron was among the
early settlers in this locality, living
for many years on farm three
miles northwest of this city. Nov
ing subsequently to the city the
family resided here. until about four
years ago when Mr.. and Mrs. Cam
eron and their daughter Henrietta
went to Spokane and made their
home with a married daughter,
Mrs. Martin Campbell, where about
two years ago Mrs. Cameron died.
Their youngest daughter, Mrs. Nora
Cambell, died last fall. The sur
viving children are, a son--D. E.
Cameron of Eau Claire, and two
daughters, Miss Henrietta Gamer
on and Mrs. Martin Campbell of
Spokane, Washington.
Mr.. Cameron was man of gener-
Gus impulses, genial disposition
and kindness of heart. As neigh
Dor he was considerate and accom-
modating. With such pleasing
qualities he attached to himself all
who knew him in friendship and all
these will suffer pang Of grief at
his departure.
