Old Timer Wants Team.

Warren Il. Simpson, the very first
manager of Grand Junction base
ball team, back in 1894, is in town,
and he is to this day one of the hot.
test of baseball fans, and we are told
he is here in the interest of a team
for 1910. He hopes before leaving
for his home in Denver to have made
a contract for grounds upon which he
will have erected a modern grand
stand and appurtenances, or he may
decide upon the present fair grounds
If they are available. and suitable
arrangements can be made.
In 1894. fifteen years ago, .Stimp-
son erected a grandstand and COM
pleted grounds just across the rail-
road track on Fifth street many will
remember II, and ii was there that
the first Grand Junction team played
games with Aspen, Leadville, Glen
wood, the Jack Hills of Denver. De-
Beque and others. 1t was no slouch
of team either. and one of the men
at least was accredited with being
the best pitcher in the state. G.ew
WatersJ. who later drifted into fast
company.
Old time fans here will remember
the personnel of that team, nearly
all of whom have moved from the
Junction and have not been here for
years. AS near as we can recall the
team was made up about as follows:
Simpson, manager and utility; Andy
Saynott. catch; Lew Waters, pitcher;
Saline, pitcher: Dug Armstrong, first
base and field, owen Kearns, third
and first base; Jim Roberts. short
stop; Charlie Bowman, second base /;
Charlie Freeman, field; win Struth-
ers, field.
1t looks like Simpson was com
ing home TO roost" after all these
years, during nearly all of which
time he has been more or less inter-
ested in baseball, and the old timers
and the new will right heartily well
come him back. He was square. ev-
cry inch of him, and we remember
him as having host OF friends.
A 1910 team under his direction
will be credit TO the city, and will
have TO be reckoned with by any and
all teams. Ii is believed Colorado s
ball arena is broadening and that
sooner or later league will be
formed reaching westward to Salt
Lake. and that Grand Junction will
be given opportunity to get in line
with it, mayhap will hoist the pen
nant flag over the home grounds af.

WHY WOMEN SNTUGGLE.

The customs officials have always
had more trouble with women as
smugglers than with men, and many
of the inspectors are convinced that
the number of women, who resist the
temptation to smuggle in goods from
Europe is negligible. The inspectors
work on the presumption that every
woman will bring in something free
of duty if possible.
Women of great wealth are as
much subject TO suspicion as their
poorer sisters. The daughter of a
woman worth SIS, 900, 600 was recent
ly fined $500 at Trenton, N. j., for
smuggling jewels and furs, and Of
course had to submit to confiscation
of the articles that she tried to slip
through.
Why women yield so readily to the
temptation to cheat the government
has been a puzzling question to most
people who are familiar with the
facts. Men also engage in smuggling
but the proportion of male smugglers
Is SUldll.
The leadership of women in this
line is usually explained as due to
some sex peculiarity. 1t is perhaps
merely the result of putting too much
confidence in the stories that are cir
culated in the cabins of the trans
continental liners.
Men are apt to smile at these
yarns Their acquaintance with the
ways of the world teaches them to
listen with a great deal of skepti-
cism to the tales of easy success in
smuggling. They have reason to be-
lieve that stewards and stewardesses
are anxious to induce women to Sc
crete goods, having an eye to collect
ing tips for uggestions.-Spokesm

THE SOONER THE BETTER.

Portland is now buying additional
park sites and is forced to pay fab
lous prices for them. Yet they must
be had because parks are as essentiai
for city as are lungs to an individu-
al. Parks are breathing places and
they promote both the health ana
comfort of the people.
Pendleton has a double need for
parks. They are needed for the COM
fort and pleasure of the people who
live in town and for the convenience
o. the country people who come here
to trade. But like other busy towns
Pendleton has neglected to provide
in the way of a park system.
1t is now up to the city to make up
fer past neglect along this line. The
sooner it does so the better it will be.

SOLITUDE.

Laugh, and the world laughs with
you;
Weep, and you weep alone,
For the sad old earth must borrow its
mirth,
But has trouble enough Of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer: =
Sigh, it is lost in the air;
The echos bound to joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go,
They want full measure Of all your
pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all,
There are none to decline your nectar
ed wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded,
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give and It helps you live
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls Of pleasure
For large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow isles Of pain.

VAIN QUEST.

He was looking for country where
ii never got too cold
And where the summer heat did not
oppress.
Where tornadoes never ripped things
and where people, young and
old,
Might claim fair degree of health
fulness:
He longer to find country where 1t
never got too wet,
And where the dry spells never last
ed long;
Where the lightning never struck
things and uere was no cause
to fret
Because the weather happened to
be wrong.
He was searching for climate where
the sky was always fair,
Where they had a touch of SPRING
time in the spring,
Where the autumn days were pleasant
where no dust was in the air
And the people were not plagued
by anything.
He was searching for a climate where
a man could always know
That there would not be snowfall
in July
Where the mercury would never dwin-
die down to eight below
In seasons when it should be climb
ing high.
He was looking for a country with
climate that would please,
For a country where the cyclone was
unknown,
Where no chilling fogs came blowing,
in the morning from the seas,
And he travelled far to reach the
favored zone
At last he found the climate which
possessed the charms he sought
The scene he gazed upon was pass
ing fair,
But the people-oh, distressing and
insistent, haunting thought
Had to work to earn their living
even there.

According to Bradstreet's latest in
dex number the prices of staple goods
in the United states are again at about
the figures at which they stood in the
autumn of 1907, says the oregon Jour-
nal, They were then at the highes,
figures known in the history of the
country. 1t then took S1.S1 to buy the
same quantity of food, clothing, fuel,
metals, lumber, chemicals, house fur
nishings and kindred staples that
could have been bought for 80 cents
in 1897. There are omens that seem
to foreshadow a still further advance
in the living cost High prices are an
invariable accompaniment of active
commercial and industrial conditions,
and there is promise that such an ac-
tivity will soon be at a maximum.
The new tariff bill has been signed
and such dampening effect as it ex-
erts on the country's business will AT
once disappear. The schedules of this
bill, according to the statement of Sem
ator Cummins and others, will not re-
duce the cost of living, but are so
framed as to open the way for fur
ther initiation of prices.
In addition the world is pouring
gold into the channels of trade in
quantities never before known. From
Alaska to South Africa, and in all
gold producing countries between
them, the output is in a volume sur
passing the widest dreams of man.
The inevitable effect of the abundance
is the lowering Of the purchasing
power of money, and the corollary OF
the increased prices for products.
There is no sign that this flow of gold

WHY NOT HAVE IT?

Umatilla should have a dry land
experimental, or demonstration, farm.
Such a farm could be established at
but small expense and the United
States government might be induced
to meet half the vnaintenance cost.
But even if the county were compelled
to bear all the expense it could we'll
afford to do so.
Think for moment of the good
that could be derived from capably
managed experimental farm. By some
who do not know anything about it,
farming is considered very crude
work. Anybody can be farmer Is
an expression sometimes heard. But
this is all wrong. Really good farm
ing requires a wide intelligence COUP
led with good practical working abil-
ity.
1t is doubtful if there is any line in
which there is so much to be learned
as in farming. There is much to be
learned about tillage. 1t is import
ant to know how to farm so as to con-
serve the maximum amount Of mois-
ture and to get the best crop returns.
There is much to be learned about
the sort of crops to be raised and
about the different varieties of par
ticular crops.
Umatilla county has now reached
that stage when serious attention
should be given to the subject of i'm
proved farming. This county is past
the pioneer farming stage. In many
sections Of the county the price Of
land has gone very high considering
the class Of farming that is done. But
no one wants to see the price Of land
decrease, so the obvious thing to 90
is to improve the methods of farming
to the end that values may be main-
tanned.
A properly conducted demonstra-
ticn farm, devoted to the improvement
Of farming within this county could
accomplish vast good. It would be or
unquestioned benefit to the farmers
because the station could work out
problems that individual farmers
could not solve except at considerable
expense Of both time an money. Fur
thermore a demonstration farm would
undoubtedly enhance the value Of
farming land within the county be-
cause through the work Of the station
the farms Of the county would be
made more productive.
Why not establish Umatilla coun-'
ty experimental farm?

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

1t is because the cost Of living in
the United States is already high that
the average man wished to have the
tariff revised downward. The fact
that the schedules have been lowered
but slightly, II at all, means that
there cannot well be any lowering Of
prices to the consumer.
