BASEBALL AS
VIEWED BY VAN
TRACTION COMPANY SHOULD
TAKE INTEREST AND MAN.
AGE TEAM.

Personally | would like to sea
Walia Walla represented in the pro-
posed four -cornered league as proposed
by Jack O'Brien in the Union this
morning. 1t would be a good thing for
the city and it is probable that with
plenty of ready cash behin.i it, the en-
'terprise would prove a success. My ex-
perience, however, has been less fortu-
nate. but I would gladly give over to-
the new manager whatever interests I
own in. last years team I consider the
best peOTle to make such a proposition
la success would be the Walla Walia
Traction company as they can easily
take up the work ard make a go of it,"
The foregoing is a statement made
this morning by VIM. Van De Water
manager of last years baseball team
when asked as to the prospects of n
team for Walla Walla during the COM
ing season.
Continuing Mr. Van De Water said:
with but little expense the traction
company could remove the. fence and
grand stand from the old fed to a fit
ting location on their line. Meador
Park it seems to me, would be an
ideal place as it could be easily reached
by both Wala Walla and Milton fans"
alike. The price of admission could
easily be adjusted as well as the car
fare.
IF Mr.. O'Brien is really in earnest
regarding his proposed adventure, it is
probable that baseball In Walla Walla
could be made to pay. If conducted in
the old styla with grounds far from the
city's center. / would say that it would
be complete failure.
While local fans are jubilant over the
prospects of a ball team during the
coming season. it is evident from their
conversations this morning that the
plan would result in dismal failure
unless properly handled. The many and
costly expenditures made last season
by the traction company for the pur-
pose of entertaining Walla Walla
pleasure seekers, they claim. could be
more profitabiy used in maintaining

MOTH TRAPS ARE NO GooD
PROFESSOR OF AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE SAYS SPRAYING is
BEST METHOD KNOWN.

SALEM. Or. Dec. 10.-That cOdiing

tract the moths. are not success. is
asserted by Professor A. B. Cordley.
zoologist at the Oregon Agricultural
college.
A few days ago resident of Port
land announced through the press tIat
he had discovered a means of extermi-
mating the moths His device was
sack saturated in sweet cider and hung
in an orchard at night with "a l1ghted
lantern five Or six feet away. He SAID
that if the trap should be thus set, in
the morning the sack would contain al!
the moths in the neighborhood. When
this scheme was called to the attention
of Professor Cordiey and his opinion
of it requested. ne replied:
Invention Fails to Work.
'There is nothing new about this the
ory for controlling the codling moth
1t is an old idea which periodically
crops out. and indeed from time to
time various contrivancas illustrating
the same idea have been placed upon
the market and have met with ready
sale. The difficulty. however. with the
whole theory is that the codling moth
is not at ali attracted by light. L nave
myself operated an electric trap IAN
tern. for the purposes of collecting
night flying insects. for a number OF
years and while l have caught thou-
sands upOr. thousands of specimens oil
other species of moths and other IN
sects. 1 have, during all that time'
taken but two specimens of codiinS
moth. The fact that the cOdling moth
is not attracted to light has been
known to entomologists for many
years"
There are at present but two meth
DDS in common use for the extermlra-
ton of cOdling moth. one is the arseh-
ate spray. applied after fruit mas
formed and at frequent intervals dur
ing the summer. The other is the use
of buriap bandages around the trunks
of the apple trees a few inches ABOVE
the ground The worms crawl under the
burlap to get away from the llgnt, ana
are killed by meE who go through the
orchard occasionally, take on the
bandages and replace them. In the
best kept orchards both methods are III

THEYPLAY IN SEASON.
But Faculty and Students Want No
Gs,nes After THANKSGIVING.

No pnst-season football games will
be played by the University of Idaho.
That is the order given out by the
faculty coWmittee of the Idaho institu-
ton, and will apply to other years as
well as to this season. The faculty be-
ileves that football is a mighty fine
game but it is to be played during it's
season, after which there are other
Ithings of more Importance. To this
opinion Coach John Middleton says he
agrees most heartily
The action of the Idaho faculty means
the combining of the great college
game to a position below the class
work. That is the way it is looked
upon by the student body. which con-

As far as l can learn tho Sultan has a soft snap. He works only In the morning and deyotes the afternoon to his foreign friends, to playing polo. billiards, bicy- cling or in any other amusement which may suit him, while his evenings are spent with his numerous family. He rises early, drinks Il cup of coffee and then says his prayers In doing the latter he faces Mecca and goes through all the notions according to the most rigid Mo- hammedan rules. He has a mosque in his palace grounds and goes to church every Friday.
 At the close of his morning devotlons his majesty goes from his palace to the great buildings where he holds his court. and where the various officials have their offices. Here he enters small room which is off by itself and sends for such of his ministers as he de- slres to see. He leaves his work largely to his officials and does no more than he can help. At noon he stops and has din- ner. after which he takes smoke and a sleep. rising about 3 o'clock. He fre- quently has music in his palace and he Is said to play well on the violin and guitar He has more than 100 musicians and all sorts of instruments. He has piano and he drums upon this at times, his mother having taught him to play.
 The Sultan Is well educated from a Moorish standpoint. He can recite great part of the Koran and Is well up in Mohammedan law. Ie gets papers from all parts of the world and has a clipping bureau. which furnishes him with ex- tracts on all matters relating to Morocco.
 Fast Losing Ills Power.
 The sultan has a cabinet consisting of grand vlzler. a secretary of state, secretary of the interior and a secretary of war. He has also a chief chamberlain, chief treasurer and a. chief administra- tor of customs. He has had an army of 10000 or LOGO men, and at times as many as 10000 troops in different parts of Mo- rocco. l understand that the soldiers are armed with good weapons and that they have few batteries of field guns.
 Within the past year the army seems to have grown weaker and weaker. The re- hellon of Blu Hamara. the captures of Perdcaris and the enforced ransom on the part of the Sultan by Raisuli. to- gether with the foreign complications. have made his majesty so unpopular that his support is drifting away from him. His power Is, indeed, on the wane; and it remains to be seen whether in time he will not have successor

quarters in nearly every ntown in hls dominion and the governors establish ment here in Tangier belongs to him. He has three different capitals. one in south ern Morocco, one in central Morocco and another at Fez. The latter Is the largest and everything there Is managed on a vast scale. The palace Is surrounded by walls. It is on the Darrell Makhzen, where all the government officials live. The buildings contain no end Of bed rooms and living rooms, as well as a large kitchen and dairy. They swarm with servants both male and female. The Kitchens are managed by negro cooks, and among the other men servants are the men Of tho bath men Of the tea" and men of the water There are also "men of the bed and men of the mat" The bath men have to do with the imperial chamber, the tea men make the imperial tea. nsing the best of the green leaves and scenting them with mint. The bed men have charge of the Sultan's tent when he camps, and the mat men bring his prayer rug and spread it out for him whom his times for prayer come. In ad- dltion to these there are negro men slaves who take charge of the Sultan's horses and mules; there are others who walk be- hind him when he goes out for an airing to flick off the flies, and a third set who carry tho imperial parasol to shut out the rays of the sun.
 Waited Upon by Women.
 Tn the harem itself, or rather in his own private apartments, the Sultan is at tended by women only. His servants are eonoubines and slaves. Like the men scr wants. they are organized into classes. and each slave has her special job. He has girls of the wash hasin,' girls of the soap" and girls of the towel' There Is one set of females who help him at his bath and another whose business it Is to servo his meals. His majesty now eats alone, although, as long as his mother was alive, he took his meals with her. He eats with his fingers, and doubt not in so doing considers himself more cleanly than you or I. The Mohammedans have a saying that every one knows whether he has washed his fingers, but no one can tell who has washed the knives and forks.
 Before eating the Sultan leaves his hands In scented warm water, and he re- peats this custom at the close of his meal. His food is so cooked that 1t can be easily broken, and much of his meat is served in small bits. His chief meal is at midday. He also takes something on rising, and light supper in the evening.

arch in his own dynasty His father was the famed Mulai Hassan, who WAS Sultan for twenty-one years. during which lie ruled with an iron hand. When about to die he chose this son to be his successor, although he had other and older brothers. Mnlai's mother was a Cireassian slave imported from Turkey.
 Religious Head.
 The Sultan of Morocco is the high priest of the religion of this country as well as it's chief executive. He is called the great Imam, and Is like the Emperor of China in that he prays for all. He IS also somewhat like the Czar of Russia, who is head of both church and state.
 One of the sultans chief clements 7f strength is the power of conferring bless ings which has come down to him from Mohammed. He is supposed to have this direct from God and if any other man ot the family could make the people believe he had this power in a greater degree, he could easily raise a rebellion and oust Mulai Abd-el-Azlz from the throne.
 This was attempted by Bu Hamara, the so-ealled son of the She-Ass, who falsely claimed to be an elder brother of the Sultan, and who, by sleight-of-hand tricks made the people believe he was performing miracles. He got up revolu- ton and the soldiers broke out into an insurrecton, notwithstanding their offi- eers gave them a flogging and dusted out their mouths with red pepper for speak ing against his majesty. This Blu Ham, ara was eventually put down. 1 under stand. however. that the rebellion was quelled by a compromise, and that the son of the She-Ass has, like Raisuli, been bribed with fat office, and that he is now ruling a large section of country. This would seem to be a premium on a second rebellion.
 Sacrifices for His People.
 The Emperor of China has number of days when he goes out in Picking to the Altar of Heaven and performs sacrifices for the whole Chinese nation. This young Sultan does the same by killing sheep on every Bairam, or Mohammed Easter. At this time every good Moorish family is supposed to offer up sacrifices, and lt is estimated that as many as thirty thou- sand sheep are killed on that day in the city of Fez The sheep are brought in from the surrounding country, and nut ton rises in places to such an extent that a good fat ram or eve will bring thirty dollars. If it were so in America the market would certainly be cornered.
 The sheep killing is started by the sul- tan. surrounded by a large concourse of people One of the holy preachers first sings out a sermon, after which the sheep

 The performance will differ somewhat from the ordinary performance in bur lesque theatre, the olio and the regular performance being more closely inter- woven.
 Among the various people who will take part in the performance are Lizzie Fre- ligh, who has been the leading woman with this attraction for a number of years, and who is considered one of the best women in burlesque: Ben Jansen, Hebrew comedian, who has some original songs and parodies; the Ferrell-Taylor trio, musical comedians. who are ranked among the best; Hills and Wilson, med- lev of merriment and Carmelta Elcedere the French art model.
 The chorus is reported to include some score of pretty girls and the management claims to have spent quite a sum of money on the costumes, the stage effects and the general makeup of the perform ance.
 There will be a matinee every afternoon during the week, and Manager McArdle has announced special matinee on Tues. day afternoon for women and children, when all of them Will be admitted free of charge. The free matinee for women and children last week was such suc- cess that Manager McArdle was prompt ed to give another this week.
