Sunday was one of the warmest
days of the summer. However, in
spite of the continued heat Warsaw's

Warsaw was defeated in seven
inning game Sunday by the Quincy

listless owing to the intense heat.
Both pitchers were hit freely, and,
while the visitors played fairly good
ball the locals piled up seven errors
in five innings. Had the game gone

On Porpoise.

A porpoise can neither play football
nor yell, nor even 50 much as wave
flag. He can't smoke pipe. He can
act like a fool, it is true, but he can't
entertain the notion that in so doing
he is bright He can't call his father
the pater, nor his mother the mater.
He can't, merely by filing his head
with the east wind, get to imagine
himself simply it. Why, then, do we
continue to speak of schools Of por-
poises ?-Puck.

church were saved, but were very
much damaged. The official board of
the church this morning met at the
office of DR.. Heady to decide plans for
rebuilding. which will be presented
to the church.
The rapid spread OF the flames
caused surprise. Smoke was seen Is
suing from the Young barn by Rob

he was passing and the alarm was
given. When reported, the blaze was
confined to the center of the lower
floor, but before the department ar
rived it had spread to the loft of the
structure and soon leaped to the Bap-
tist church. The W. H. Taylor and R.
Townsend homes were afire for time
but they were saved. In about an
hour after the first fire, the barn on

While County Assessor Miller has
not run up the 'to.als on the assess

$S,000,000 and possibly pass the
eight and ha.f million mark. The

property in the county except &
right of way, whereas last March
lhe track was all completed and
he road in operation.
The o. R. & N. valuation made by
Mr.. Miller is in round numbers 81,
$4,000, or over one-eighth of the
assessed valuation of all property
n the county. The track is assess
I'd at $4,000 per mile, and besides
hat the company owns 40 acres Of

Editor Shuts jokes as there were

The excurdonis.s spent a pleasant
day and returned with only words of
praise for the fair, The exhibits of
agricultural and horticultural prod

quality, There were no Wallowa
county exhibits to speak of, due to
lack of organized effort in this
county by anyone representing the
fair.
