noisy company alighted. ali smoking
cigarettes, including the bride. which
shocked my friend exceedingly.
The company then sat down 20

up his position near us. The meal did
not last very long and ended In the
bride performing a Jig on the table.
while the guests danced around her.
They then started games. hide and

her arms round the neck OF red hair

his lips close to the clerical ear and
whispered: Buy Pacific Mail. It's a

Baseball Season Opens Here Tomorrow With Rafting Good
Contest Visiting Team is Fast Bunch
Proposed That All Baseball Teams of the County Meet
Grangevile to Decide Championship

Tomorrow the baseball season in
Grangeville is to be formally opened.
A contest, which promises to be hot
from start to finish, will be played by
the Vollmer baseball team and the
local aggregation, 1t is probable that
most of the business houses will close
a few hours during the afternoon and,
if the weather is fair, a big, roaring
crowd of baseball fans and enthuiaStS
may be expected at the grounds.
Little is known of the Vollmer
aggregation, other than that they have
been playing pretty fast ball all season.
They have played several matched
games and are judged by many to be
the fastest team in the surrounding
country.
Grangevile will go in to the con-
test with bunch of clever ball tosserS.
Henry La Brache, the star twirler,
arrived Saturday evening from Athena,
Oregon, and warmed up with the
local boys at the ball grounds Sunday.
He made decided hit with local fans,
as did A. P. Jarvis, who will do the
backstop work for Grangeville this
summer. The other players in to-
morrow's lineup will probably be as
follows: Murrey, IS; Schmadeka,
1b; Abrahamson, 2b; Brown, 3b;
Brooks, If; Schnell, CT; and Cum

c. F. Brown returned Friday from

United States feet and says that while
the sight of the many large battleships
was decidedly interesting, the vast
crowd of people present was equally
SO. Mr.. Brown made the trip with
view of locating in California but
comes back firm in his belief that
Camas Prairie is better far than any
locality he visited. 1t was Mr..
Browns first trip away from Camas
Prairie in 2o years.

Sophomores, Well Received.
A large audience which filled every
seat at the Armory was present Friday
night to witness the production of the
Merchant of Venice, Up-to-date, J"
by the sophomore class of the local
high school. The play was well
staged and the different participants
in its presentation appeared to advant-
age in their respective parts. The
principal male characters of the piece
were impersonated by Phineas Houts,
Z. B. Parsons, Charles Horning,
Wayne Arnold, Carl Cotton, Mac
Sco6eld, Eugene PEBBLES and John
McEvers. The Misses Eunice Nc
Donald, Viola Holmes, Fannie Nc
Grew, Susan Overman, Ida Wick
man, Pearl Cheley and Mabel Doty
appeared as delineators of the female
characters in the production.
While all the characters were very
well portrayed, perhaps the most clever
acting was done by Miss Eunice Nc
donald and Messrs. Scoheld, Parsons
and PEBBLES. The play was staged
under the direction of Miss Elizabeth
Burrows, teacher in the high school
and the pleasing manner of its pro-
duction and the interest evidenced by
the large audience testiheS to the
ability of Miss Burrows.

preparations have been made for the
baseball season and as yet there is
nothing planned but The ordinary
matched games to decide the cham
pionship of the county. Many fast
players have been imported and great
expense has been incurred by the diff
ferent towns The idea of bringing
all the baseball teams of the country
together for one grand tournament for
the championship of the county ap-
peals TO enthusiasts and businessmen
alike as the only commendable man
ner to conduct the national game this
season. The deciding game could
be played July 4th, right in the midst
of the patriotism, glory and hilarlty of
Grangeville's celebration, and would
be the best attraction possible to offer.
