Owing TO the level condition Of tho
country, the construction of canal
in Holland involves but comparatively
! little labor and expense Many of tho
| canals are used constantly as substl'
| tutes for public highways, and in tho
| winter their frozen surfaces offer CON
vcniont roads for the skaters who
throng them on their way 10 and from
market and about their various occu-
! patlons. So complete IS the canal
| system that by means Of II a resident
Of Rotterdam could breakfast at Delft
| or The Hague dine at Leyden and

the surface but the beds Of many OF
| Hollands canals arc above the level OF
land, the drainage Is of the greatest
importance. This is effected by means
Of pumps worked by the wlndmills
that are such characteristic feature
Of the Dutch landscape The banks Of
the canals are maintained by the fam

with any major league ball, and that
Walla Walla has a team in the field
this year that is as good as any that
ever represented the city.
The Northwest league will never
come to Walla Walla, but she may go
after it, and this can only be done by
gradual steps. The fans must sup
port the game when they are play
ing as good ball as now and when
baseball men see that the game will
pay, it will only be a matter of a
suitable leader to land the Garden
City in the bigger league.
The Walla Walla baseball club
will probably hold a meeting in the
next day or two and make some
overture to the other towns of the
league and ascertain whether sum-
mer baseball is desired and If so, no
time will be lost in organizing.

Walla and Athena are Towns In
cludcd for Representation in Blue
Mountain.

With only one more game to play
before the season of the Blue Noun
tain league closes as arranged on the
schedule, local fans and members of
the Walla Walla baseball club are ad-
vocating a four-team league of the
same order to continue through the
summer, thus giving summer base
ball for the fans Of the city, when
there Is little else doing in any of the
towns, says the Walla Walla Union.
Echo has already dropped out and
Weston is about to, leaving Pendle-
ton, Milton -Freewater, Athena and
Walla Walla with well organized
teams which, may play throughout
the summer months. Athena could
join with Weston to some extent and
strengthen that team, although the
article Of ball put up has been good,
while Milton-Freewater has already
demonstrated ability to support a
team. Pendleton is doing well and
the Bears are always there.
Expenses would be less and the at
tendance should not decreased much,

would revive the monotony of the
