the crowd was small but was greatly
augmented in the afternoon. Satur-
day morning dawned clear and bright
and all forenoon a constant stream of
teams and automobiles passed through
Athena from the country north and
west of the city and Ey noon one of the
largest gatherings that the pioneers
ever entertained was on the streets of
Weston. The program was an excel
lent one. The principal speech was
made by q. A. Johns. of Baker City,
and the ladies' band Of Weston was
one of the principal features Of enter
tainment. and certainly deserved the
ovation rendered them upon each ap-
pearance. The tand is composed OF
ladies, most of whom are talented
musicians. and some Of whom have
made music a profession, which &C
counts for the rapid progress made By
them since their organization last fall
Three games of ball and other sports

CLASSY BALL WAS PLAYED
Athena Won From Pilot Rock in Hot
Contest, With Score 2 to /.

The Maroons kept up their winning
streak and won from Pilot Rock Sun
day in one of the best games ever
played on the Rock diamond. score 2
to |.
1t was CLASSY ball throughout. The
game was played in cloud of pepper
and only two errors, one by each
team. marred the proceedings. Pilot
Rock found Picard for only five safe
bingles. two of which, one two bag
ger followed by single was good for
a run in the second inning. Picard
kept the other three hits scattered aud
the sheepherders had no other chance
to SCORE
The best the kids could do with
Lobauqh was to pelt the ball four
times into safe territory and not until
the seventh was there anything doing
for them. In that inning Willaby,
who had laced out double in the
fourth, trounced the horsahide for a
single and took second while Smith
was tanning. Wilson went out on
pop fly to Gilbert at third. and Lo-
baugh passed Lieuallen. Both runners
advanced a peg when DePeatt lodged
safe at first on Oakley's error. Then
Mr.. Casey Myrick picked up his big
stick and advanced to the plate. Two
down and the bases populated is the
peculiar situation in base ball which
coined the term of "pinch hitter" and
in this instance Mr.. Casey Myrick
"pinohed" and the pinch was good
long single. which afforded ample
time for Willaby and Lieuallen to
scamper across the pan. Booher ended
the inning by going out, Lobaugh to

time, and whose life has been despair
ed of on several different occasions.
Mr.. LaHue was sitting on the porch
and the band halted in front Of the

LOCAL OPTION LAW
Judge Beams Decision Holds Near
Beer Sellers to Be Guilty of
Violating Law.

Circuit Judge Fl. j. Bean has rem
dered a decision upholding the local
option law and finding that the 90 or
more near beer sellers. recently indict-
ed, to be guilty of violating this law.
This decision. says the East Oregon
ian, was rendered in the test case
b fought by number of the defend
ants in an effort to set aside the law
in so far as it applies to this county,
or at least to prevent it's complete en-
forcement until after the fall election.
Notice of appeal to the supreme court
has been died and as the decision of
the latter ooult cannot be rendered
until after the election. the purposes
of the suit will have been accom-
plished
The attack on tie law was made on
the ground that the county court had
not been officially notified by the cleo
tion board of the result of the election
in accordance with the requirements
of the general election law, and that
the prohibition order was invalid.
The district attorney contended that
the permanent record Of the election
result had been made in accordance
with the law. and that in accordance
with the special requirements of the
local option law the County Clerk had
officially notified the court of the cleo
tion result. The circuit court con-
CURED with the district attorney and
held that the order made by the ooun-
ty court and prohibiting the selling of
Intoxicating liquors in this county was
a valid one.
The attorneys are now engaged in
the preparations Of their briefs, the
appealed case will be argued before
the supreme court next fall and the
decision will probably be handed down
a few weeks later.

Owing to the assertions in some

ise of r. s. Stubbs, general freight
and passenger agent for the Southern
Pacific has issued a statement. The
rule is not a new one, bat is apparently
not generally known.
The railroad announces that there
i'll be no charge at all for transport
ing exhibits to Phoenix or bringing
them back 1t is necessary for the
exhibitor to pay the regular freight
charges to the fair, but he can get
this payment refunded. This is the
only way to prevent shippers sending
products to Phoenix with the an :
uounced intention of exhibiting them
and then changing their minds after
the products have been transported.
The shipper should take a receipt
for the freight he pays in getting his
products to Phoenix. He should then
get certificate from the territorial
fair commission stating that bis pro :
duct has been exhibited. On the
presentation of this certificate to the
railroad the product will oe transport
ed back to the place from which it
was shipped without further cost, and
the amount paid in getting the ex :
hibit to Phoenix will be refunded.
The railroads are thus co operating
with the fair commission in maxim g

hitors ought to avail themselves of
this opportunity to add their products
