FRIDAYS BALL GAME
AWARDED TO LOCALS

According to unofficial reports
reaching this city and Walla Walla,
that twelve inning game played last
Friday in Boise between the Buck
arooes and the Irrigators has been
added to the Pendleton string of vic
tories by reason of decision handed
down by President W. n. Sweet OF
the league. Though the Boise team
won the battle by 4 to 3 score.
Manager Garrett protested the game
on the grounds, it is said, that McRae,
who played with the Irrigators, was
not under contract and the protest
was allowed.
Though a victory won by award is
not as gratifying to the fans as is
one taken on the field of play, there
is general satisfaction expressed
here over the decision. not so much
because 1t increases the local teams
average as because it signifies that
the league officials are sincere in their
expressed determination TO make the
clubs live up to their agreement.
Boise was known to have more shan
the regular number of men in the
game last week and the protest OF
Garrett was no surprise.

Companies May Raise Rates to De-
crease Consumption of Fuel.
Kansas City. Mo.-Evidence was
furnished at the session of the Natur-
al Gas Association of America to show
that natural gas companies in all sec
tions of the country fear the supply
is giving out and are considering a
raise in rates with a view to limiting
consumption. This was brought out
in discussion following the reading
of a paper on raising rates. written
by c. R. Heath of Noblesville, Ind.
Mr.. Heath's paper set forth that an
increase of rates in Noblesvile from
IL 1-2 cents per 1000 cubic feet to
80 cents per 1000 cubic feet caused
the monthly consumption of gas to be
reduced from 5000 to 10000 feet. A
committee of five will be named to
gather information on the question
of rates.
