AMATEUR BASEBALL.

This spring Pendleton is contenting
itself with an amateur baseball team
From indications, La Grande, Baker
City and walla Walla will do like
wise.
There is much to be said in favor
Of amateur baseball as opposed to
league or professional playing. An
amateur team means that local play
ers, from school boys up, will de-
rive the pleasure and benefit result
ing from the sport.
Then an amateur team makes no
financial drain upon a community as
does a professional team. No mon
ster subscription IS needed to keep a
local team going. The gate receipts
usually suffice to pay expenses. AL
though the grade Of ball played may
be poorer. yet the public interest is
as great or greater because local men
are in the game.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

Way out in the Sea of Vain Regret
Lies the Island of Might Have Been
1t is walled about by the Cliffs of Re-
morse,
Which are lashed by the Waves OF
Sin.
We who live in this flowery world,
And have ever hope before,
Know not of those hearts in anguish
wrung
Who dwell there evermore:
Whose each sad smile tells woeful
tale
OF years that were spent in vain,
In the empty search Of the joys Of life
And woke from the dream Of pain.
Not a murmur tells Of their poignant
grief,
Only a weary smile;
But they long to fit on the Wings Of
Death
Away from the sunless isle.
Way out in the Sea Of Vain Regret,
On the Island Of Might Have Been,
That is walled about by the Cliffs Of
Remorse,
Which are lashed by the Waves Of
Sin.

SPOKANE Is FIRM.

Referring to the efforts of the
o. r. & y. company to secure re-
hearing Of the Spokane rate case the
Spokesman Review recently said:
The o. r. & Ms petition for re-
hearing Of the Spokane rate case and
a modification of the order OF the in
terstate commerce commission is
avowedly directed against the ship
pers and consumers Of the entire in
land empire, rather than against the
shippers and consumers Of Spokane.
Professedly, as stated by officials
Of the 0. r. & N, that company
wants TO be relieved from the obliga-
tory character Of the commissions
order. THAT Is" states District
Freight Agent MacCorquodale, "the
o. r. & N. asks that it be allowed
TO meet the Northern Pacific and
great Northern rates, as fixed by the
comm ssion, but that 1t be not com
PEELED 10 DO So"
This is evidently shrewd move to
play Spokane against o. r. G. N.
towns in the inland empire, but spo-
kane will not fall into the trap.
Professedly the o. r. & N wants
The order modified SO that It could
meet the commissions rates TO Spo-
kane, and not be compelled to lower
its present rates to Baker City, PEN

In the determination to successful

to the various projects to study the
conditions of that particular locality

tention is to gain the facts concern

and agricultural pursuits.
Mr.. Hunter will Systematically and

ATHENA SHOULD HELP.

Up at Athena progressive citizens
are endeavoring to do something to
forward the advancement of the
place. An improved high school and
g park are among the things desired.
Steps toward securing these are to be
taken and incidentally a committee
is going to inquire into the status of
the interurban line.
All of this is very praiseworthy
and it should result in some good to
Athena But first of all, the Athena
people should join in the establish
ment Of the county publicity bureau.
Umatilla county needs some good,
sensible, consistent advertising in or
der TO bring new people into the
county. 1t is the intention to have
the proposed bureau do such work. AS
the benefits will be for the entire
county all of the county should join
in meeting the expense incurred.
Athena people particularly, should
be interested in the formation of this
publicity bureau. Within the past
few years hundreds of people from
the Athena country have sold their
farms to their neighbors and left for
newer sections. There is but one way
to offset this loss. New people must
be brought out from the old settled
sections Of the Mississippi valley. The
people from that section do not want
1000 acre farms. They are accus-
toned to smaller tracts and to diver
sified farming. If such people can
be induced 70 settle in the vicinity
of Athena, the big wheat ranches
along Wild Horse will be converted
into alfalfa fields and gardens. With
n a short time there will be 20 fam
lies where there is now but one and
as the surrounding country settles up
Athena itself will grow and prosper
as it has never done before.

RESERVOIRS.
(Union Republican, }

The people of Oregon are just be-
ginning to realize the benefits that
are likely TO accrue from the storage
of water for irrigation and power
purposes. and from all over the state
comes news of the location of res
ervoir sites, with view to the utiliza-
ton of water. This is a bit of good
news and makes possible the recla
nation of much land and the closer
settlement of our country. In the
earlier settlement of this section, wa
ter rights were not considered as val
liable as now, but it is apparent at
this time that no better investment
can be made than a reservoir site, a
fact that is clear to many of uor peo-

The meeting called by the Pendle-
ton Commercial association for last
Friday evening to discuss ways and
means of advertising the resources of
Umatilla county, thereby attracting
its share of the immigration from
the east, looking for homes and in
vestments in the Pacific northwest,
was well attended by representatives
of the smaller towns of the county.
Everybody was royalty treated by the
PendletOn people and everybody pres
ent from the outlying districts re-
turned to their homes with the con-
viction that Pendleton, though pass
ing through one of the most trying
periods of her history, is the best
town on earth.

also overcome that nervous irri-

whenever occasion requires with
