Goods in That City.

Spokane. Wash. Dec. 21.-"The
Washington Nightingale Has Gold in
Its Throat But the Spokane Stork
Delivers the Goods" is title which
DR.. NJ B. Grieve, city health officer,

and at the present rate they will
reach a total of 1900 for the year.

HIGH SCHOOL

DEFEATS PENDLEpON
ACADEMY AT BASKETBALL
Scientific Exhibition of Game Occur
red at High school Gymnasium
Overwhelming Score of IS TO 4 Does
Not Indicate Interest Displayed in
Contcst-Supcrior Team Work
Tells,

BY the overwhelming score of is to
4 the High school girls basket ball
team defeated the Pendeton Academy
five last evening in the high school
gymnasium in one of the best exhibit
tions of the game seen in Pendleton.
There have been games between
girls teams in which the scores were
closer and which were more exciting
but few in which more skill and bet
; ter team work were displayed.
Superior team work and confidence
due to greater experience were more
responsible for the large score for
the winners than the lack of skill on
the part of the Academy players,
every one of whom played a plucky
game. They also displayed spurts of
team work, but on the whole were out
classed in this department Of the
game.
Despite the large final score. that
at the end of the first half showed
that that portion of the game was
practically a tie, the score being but
5 to in favor of the high school.
Mona Johnson at Forward was
probably the star for the high school
players though Gertrude Jordan, Ruth
Gibson and Lucille RAIDER each played
their positions well. In fact it was
the great guarding done by Miss RAIDER
and Miss Gibson that prevented the
Academy players from scoring more
often.
Sadie Young probably made the best
showing for her side and had she
been opposed by less skillful guard
she would have had several baskets
to her credit.
The lineup of the high school was:
Gertrude Jordan and Daisy Nc
Pherson. centers; Mona Johnson and
Eunice Vogel, forwards; Ruth Glib
son and Lucille RAIDER, guards.
For the academy the following play
ers participated:
Blanche WhittemOre and Mamie
Rogers, centers; Jeane Anderson and
Sadie Young, forwards; Florence Lee
high and Anna Topp. guards.

The
General Demand

OF the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy OF
known value; laxative which physi.
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination Of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac-

HORSES IN TRAINING
Readville Track Now in Daily Use by Well Bred Futur-
 ity Colts.

The trainers at the Readvile track are taking advantage of the exceptional weather conditions to give their first lessons to lot of well bred youngsters with futurity aspirations
 The fall of the year Is the best time to work the baby trotters, and so far at least, the colts that are getting their lessons over the Readville track have had as good an opportunity to make speed as have those at the tracks fur ther south.
 Training the babies and letting down the horses that have been racing during the season just past keeps the trainers out of mischief. and if the weather continues favorable, 1t will be some time before the hot air circuit Is started In earnest
 As far as the letting down process Is concerned. 1t would at first glance look as though Bob Proctor had the most work to do with the 4-year-old trotter Uhlan, 2;07 IA; but though the Bingen gelding has the greater drop to make to get back to nothing. 1t is, on the other hand, fact that he has never been compelled to extend him. self to the stretching point and con sequently the recoil in his case will be less than that with many horses with much less class.
 JAS matter of fact, Uhlan looks much more like a horse just ready to start out on a campaign than one that has just returned from tour in which he has met the best trotters of the country, not once meeting defeat or, In fact. being near 1t,
 Proctor has great confidence In the gelding. and this is shared by some of
