.PENDLET0N WON SUNDAY GAME
Big Crowd Witnesses First Game on
New Grounds. No Easy Victory.

| Pendleton- won out in Sunday Is
game by the score of 6 to 2. A big
crowd was on hand to witness the first
game to be played on the now grounds
and the gate receipts netted $51.95.
The ground was little slow, but by
the time the next game is played bet
ter conditions will prevail and it is
hoped that the grand stand will also
be in place.
While the county seat colts got
away with the big end Of the score,
they had no walk over in winning.
Athena was there all the time, all
the time and had the home lads gotten
off right In the first inning. the Pen
dleton contingent would have received
only what was due them. to 2. AS
handicap, the home boys started in
against lead of three tallies. This
was out down in Athena's half, when
Stone was passed to first. went to sec
ond on Smiths sacrifice, stole third
and romped home on Kings error.
Pendleton lined in three more in the
fourth with the help of three hits. two
errors and stolen base. and this was
all for them. Stone frightened up and
allowed but one hit after that.
Athena promised something in the
ffth, when Starr led off with a single
and was saoriflcedJ to second ny Wilson
and scored when Oronin made mess
of Willaby's third strike, tossing the
ball away.
Stone pitched a clever game after
the first inning and Starr showed great
| improvement behind the bat. Mr..
HARLAN, who was on the mound for
Pendleton, had personal grudge at
Willaby. who went to bat five times
and struck out four times.
It is conceded ty all who saw Sun

Land & Trust company, for the city.
The vote was recorded on motion
to purchase the park, made ty Coun-

It was the wish OF the council that
the mayor appoint Park committee

super vision Of the council, and he ap-
pointed b. B. Richards, w. j. Ghol-
son and Robert Coppock.
Mr.. Taylor, Of the original Com
meroial Association committee. in
formed the council that five men who

WATER COMMISSION MEETING
Commissioner TAYLOR Questions Script
Placed In Sinking Fund,

The water commissioners met in
regular session last evening. Super.
intepdent Gholson reported collection
Of water rents amounting to $3.50 and
Commissioner Taylor said Ghere should
be $54 more included, referring to the
amount the city pays monthly to the
commission for water taxed to the by
drants for fire purposes.
Gholson said the $54 was in script
and could not be reported as cash COL
lected and Taylor averred that IL
script could be placed in the sinking
fund In lieu of cash and counted as
such he could not see why script could
not be counted In the rents collected.
Councilman Barrett entered the
spirited discussion at this point aud
gave ont the information that cash
was counted as cash, and script was
listed as bills receivable; that the
script in the sinking fund was placed
there when cash was taken out OF the
fund to pay interest on water bonds.
rather than borrowing money from
the bank.
Taylor wanted to know why all the
script In the sinking fund bad been
plnoed there last year, and not any
before; to which Barrett replied the
records would show.
At times the three ee-oornered discus
sion became warm and voices rose
louder than necessary for ordinary
conversation.
Taylor wanted to know of Gholson
why be was "butting in.'' and the
marshal said be was water superinten-
dent, and had right to. Barrett
said the same methods OF conducting
the water business In the past would
continue as long as be served on the
commission, and after be was through
Taylor could run II to suit himself.
On motion the clerk was instructed
to draw warrant on treasurer for

County Track Meet,

Speaking of the Umatilla County
track meet which comes off in Athena
May ID, the Pilot Rock Record says
Although the schools of Pilot Rock
have neither an Athletic or Oratorical
association and the fact that they close
here today would make it too late to
take up the work of organization. the
impetus given the movement by the
formation of the Umatilla County
Athletic and Oratoriual association
last winter and the fact that the Com
mercial club Of Athena put up q $75
silver loving cup as the prize for
the school winning the most points in
debate and have also spent some mon
ey in preparing tract on which the
track meet might be held. will stim
ulate the interest in athletics and
ought to Ee the cause Of the formation
of both such organizations in this
city another year.
May IA has been announced as the
date on which meet will be held and
the secretary of the association is now
sending out literature throughout the
county, urging that the various schools
of the county hold tryout, both In
oratory and to organize track team,

big event.
The Commercial club of Athena in
connection with the officers of the
newly formed association are making
elaborate plans to make the meet
great social event of the county as the
cause has backing of not only Coun-
-ty School Superintendent Frank K.
Welles, but also of every teacher who
attended the county meeting in Pen
dleton last January. large attendance
is assured and much interest is being
manifested in the event. Special
railroad rates have been arranged for

tion to arrange for special trains out

JOLLY FELLOWS ALL
PendIeton Commercial Association, One
Hundred Strong. Visited Athena
on Junketing Trip.

The Pendleton Commercial AsSocia-
tion, a hundred strong, headed BY o
splendid brass band, stopped insAthe-
ma Wednesday forenoon for an hour
and fraternized with friends and ac-
quaintanoes.
Members, Of the Athena Commercial
club met the Pendleton special at the
o. r. q N. station and escorted the
visitors to the opera house, but for the
reason that the hour was early. the
attendance Of local people was small.
The band led the assemblage to the
corner of Main and Third streets
where Will M. Peterson of Pendleton
addressed the crowd on the features of
the new law which authorizes any
county in the state to levy special
tax of not more than one-half mill
for advertising, printing and distrib-
ution of literature for the purpose of
making known the various agricui-
tural, horticultural, commercial and
other resources. 1t was for this pur-
pose that the trip was made by the
Pendleton Commercial Association, q
purpose with the broad conception OF
the development Of the county.
B. B. Richards. president OF the
Athena Commercial Association, in.
troduoed the Pendleton speaker. The
public schools we're dismissed during
the time the Pendleton visitors were
here and the children were present
when Mr.. Peterson delivered his ad-
dress. Many ladies from Pendleton
accompanied the gentlemen and were
seemingly entering into the spirit OF
the occasion with enthusiasm.
Literature explaining the publicity
act was distributed and several petit
tions left with Athena men for circu-
lation.

WHEAT SEEDING
ABOUT Finished

Wheat seeding is all but finished
in the three northwestern states,
says the Northwestern Miller. There
is an occasional locality where work
was delayed by the snow. A few
days of favorable weather will see
the work completed. The Miller
says the question of acreage is still
uncertain. There are those who al
here to the belief that the increase
will be fully 10 per cent over 1909.
This, based on the governments fin
al figures for 1909. would mean an
increase on the wheat acreage in
Minnesota. North and South Dakota
of 800 900 acres, making total of
1880, 900.
Elevator people are 1ncredulous
about believing that damage has
been done to the new sOwn spring
wheat by the recent cold weather.
Heavy frosts have not done any
good, yet they are loath to believe
they have done harm. However, -
will take ten days Of warm growing
weather to determine whether DAM
age resulted. The probability is that
the only effect the frost will have
will be to make the stand thin in
places"
