GOVERNOR MOORE
TALKS POLITICS
TO SEATTLE TIMES, WALLA WAL
Ian SAYS SENATOR ANKENY
WILL CARRY HOME COUNTY.

Governor Moore was over in Sc
attic few days ago and to Seattle
Times reporter the genial bank presf-
dent unburdened himself a little on the
political situation. The governor, ac-
cording to the Times, predicts that
Senator Ankeny will carry Walla Walla
county as against Jones. But here is
the story:
That Washington will vote her re-
publican delegates for Taft for presi-
dent, in the coming national repub-
Levi Ankeny will have no trouble to
carry Walia Walla county as against
w. l.. Jones for senator, are two pre-
dictions made by Miles G. Moore, of
Walla Walla, at the Hotel Butler last
night. Moore is president of the Bak-
er-Boyer National bank. of Walia WAL
la, one of the largest financial fnsti-
tutions of the state, and was once gov
ernor of the territory of Washington.
No man is better known in politics
in Eastern Washington than he.
There appears to be no doubt that
the republicans of Washington are for
Taft" said Mr. Moore. "You hear in
Eastern Washington very little talk
Of others Taft's friends appear to be
in every faction of the party and this
is largely due to. the fact that he is
recognized in the West, as elsewhere,

BREEDS
BASEBALL GERMS
WHITMAN FROM ALL lNDIcA.
TONS WILL HAVE CRACK
TEAM IN FIELD.

Spring weather is dislodging the hi
bernated baseball germs at the col
Ilege and they are floating freely among
the Whitman fans today.
i From all indications, the Mission
aries will have splendid team. The
great infield of last year is intact and
there are two or three new fellows who
have blown in who will almost be able
to even make these big four dig places.
Shubert at first base, Schmidt at sec.
ond, butcher at short and Borleske at
third are hard to beat. Some good new
material is promised in this line, how
ever. Whitman has been weak behind
the bat in times past but this year she
has two first class catchers in Bru-
will be Rigsby, butcher, Borleske, Mar
quis and new man Or two one of
whom is rumored to be a find OF
worth.
4 In the outfield Morgan and Perring-
er both of whom are good fielders and
hard hitters, will play. Then there will
be Cushman, Davenport and several
other men, old and new
| One feature of this years team will
be their hitting ability. Nearly every
member of the team can bat. Those
who are not will not have to be used
as in former years.
! Manager Marvin has arranged good
schedule for this year and while at the
present time it is not complete. en-
ough is known to assure the fans that
it will be a good one.
| Many Games Scheduled.
! The college will open the season with
a series of interclass games and games
with the town team, if the latter ma
i teralizes. 1t is said the Spokane In
] dams will work out here this spring;
| if so several games will be secured with
them and should they prove as interest
ing as the ones with the Tacoma Tig-
ers last year they will be the best of
the season.
| About May I, Whitman plays her
/ first intercollegiate game here with
Whitworth. Then the Missionaries will
go north playing Gonzaga May 5, Blair
about May 6, Cheney Normal on May Z.
Pullman May s. Idaho on May 9. The
University Of Washington will more
than likely play three games here on
May IA. Is, and Is. Idaho is scheduled
! to play here on May % and %. Pull
man will be down to play on May 20
and the big Decoration day game the
next day. Up to this time, no further
games have been arranged, although it
is likely that Oregon will Tour this
| country again and if SO, will play one
, or more games here.
The diamond has been ploughed and
sailed and in about two weeks will be
out into shape for spring practice.
Bleachers which will seat 5000 people
are on the ground, besides comfor-
table and roomy grandstand Alto
gether the college is in the best shape
| ever for baseball this year and there
will be something doing in that line
this year, say the wise ones on the cam
pus.

So far this year, Whitman has a
good record and a fine show to win
the intercollegiate championship of the
northwest. Idaho defeated and an even
break with Pullman leaves the local
school in the race and slightly ahead.
Oregons defeat tonight means much
for the Missionary ball tossers.
More enthusiasm than usual is being
displayed at the college. This is the
first intercollegiate basketball game
ever played with the bunch from Eu-

to begin the record Alright. Whitman
walloped Oregon in baseball last year

keep the slate clean with that insti

Weakness and rheumatism.

"The people here do not drink

claimed a well-known authority. 1.-The
numerous cases of stomach trouble,
kidney and bladder diseases and
rheumatism are mainly due to the fact
that the drinking of water, natures

ment, which will not shatter the

When requested for such a prescrip-
ton for the cure of rheumaticm and
kidney trouble the answer was: you
must make the kidneys do their work
they are the filters of the blood.
They must be made to strain out of
the blood the waste matter and acids
that cause rheumatism; the urine must
b neutralized so it will no longer be a
source of irritation to the bladder,
and, most of all, you must keep these
acids from forming in the stomach.
This is the cause of stomach trouble
and poor digestion. For these condi-
tions / would suggest the following

STAYS FOUR COUGARS.
West Birch Creek Rancher Makes
Wholesale Slaughter of Big Cats.

PENDLETON, Feb 3-Following
close on the heels of the killing of a
large cougar by Andy Rust in his
sheep corral on Butter creek, the other
night, comes the account of almost a
wholesale slaughter of the animals
on Birch creek, last Saturday.
While Eugene Hascall, who lives on
upper west Birch creek, was out with
his gun, he ran onto four of the big
cats in one bunch. He killed one on
the spot and returning to the house Sc
cured his dogs and soon had the other
three freed. Their destruction was then
easy.
The presence of such an unusually
large number of these animals in the
foothills this winter can not be ac-
counted for.
