he shall return again by assuming
that in the organization, ideals and
activities Of this order he has return

especially to the youth, all that beau

trade for other things; people who
have been unfortunate in losing things
and others who have found something
Of value and want to return it to the

who want seed oats, furnished rooms,

houses, furnished and unfurnished
rooms to rent. In the for sale" col

ANOTHER GAME FROM
BOOSTERS OF THE SEATTLE SPIRIT

In the last half of this inning
Schmidt led out by tanning. Schubert
followed with safe and Brown and
Morgan landed two baggers and two
men crossed the threshold. ..
In the fourth Marquis walked Isbell
and a two Dagger by Brown of the
visitors, brought him home. The To-
calls did not score.
In the fifth the clam diggers got
one hit but were unable to utilize it
and the Missionaries had the same
luck.
In the sixth the visitors rejoiced
when they saw Marquis forced to re-
tire On account of his game arm. He
had already famed seven of them and
they were beginning to get just little
"leary' of the famous old sOuthpaw.
: But the change did the University lit
tie good as they hit Higsby but twice
and were unable to score on the
swift twists which he dealt out to
them in little spherical packages.
Whitman. in the seventh, landed on
Gillette four times and this. with two
errors on the part of the visitors. let
in two more runs for the boys in maize
and blue.

Borleske and butcher are pitching
today, and there is little doubt of the

days past. Still the University boys
are after blood and want at least one
game to their credit.

NO MINSTREL SHOW COMING
Whitman Is to Give Athletic Ex
hibt Instead

Instead of the big minstrel and ath-
letic show which was to have been
given by the associated students of
Whitman college there will be given
only the athletic end of the entertain
ment.
Examinations and the press of work
usual to the close of the school year
are the causes of the change. The stu
dents feel that they cannot give the
time necessary during the next week
to work up the show in the opera
house and so the athletic stunts will
be given in the gymnasium next Fri
day night.
This change is hard on the gymna-
SUM instructor. Mr.. Mitchell, mas
much as he has worked on this and
had intended it to show what prograss
has been made in the gym this year
But seeing the difficulties Mr.. Mitchell
has willingly approved of the change
and is working night and day with the
boys to get them into shape for the
exhibition next week.
Tumbing, apparatus work. stage
marching. dancing, club and torch
swinging. and many more interesting
and difficult stunts will be put on. And
although the minstrel part will be
cut out the athletic end will be just
as complete and amusing.

GROWERS TO MEET TUESDAY
Wool Men to Gather In Pend|et0n
Next Week

PENDLETON, May 1S.-An import
ant meeting of the Umatilla County
Wool Growers association is called for
next Tuesday evening, May 81 in the
parlors of the Commercial association.
Probably the most important business
to come up at this time will be the Sc
rious consideration of the proposition
for the growers of wool to get together
in an effort to force the buyers to pay
all that the product is worth. 1t is
proposed if necessary. that the flock
owners pool their clips, arrange for the
storing and possibly the securing OF IT,
and then send it east with man VINO
will be empowered to dispose of II
direct to the manufacturers of wooden
goods.
MANY of the growers feel that they
did not get all their wool was worth
last year, despite the statements made
by the buyers, that they did not make
anything on the buys made at the
sales days in this city.
Another thing to be considered is
the proposition for the association to
purchase salt by the wholesale for the
benefit of its members. 1t is claimed
by the local sheep men that they have
been compelled to pay two - three
prices for this necessary commodity
and they think that it would be wise
for them to follow the example of the
Idaho and Montana sheep men.
The question of endorsing or Oppos-
ing the proposition to have the govern
ment lease its public lands. which
was not settled at the last meeting, will
come I'D for further consideration at
this meeting.
There will also be the usual amount
Of general business transacted and in
this will be included some matters in
connection with the sales day dates
This will be the last meeting of the
association before the beginning of the
wool buying season and it is expected
that a large number of flock owners
will be in attendance.

1t was Whitman'S game from the
first inning yesterday and at no time
did the visitors have show to win
from the Missionary ball tossers. The
local collegians can play the game and
the University boys can't-is about the
size of the situation.
His first time up was made the OPP
pOrtunity for the first hit of the game
by Borleske. Schmidt got a little
bingO and Schubert, Brown and Nor
gan followed with the same variety,
and before the inning closed the L. of

runs against him, and would have

more runs.
