Payette at Ontario.
Weiser at Vale.
The opening game of the Idaho
Oregon League started the season
right for Payette when the locals
took the game from the Ontario
blue Birds" by the shut out route
8 to in the quick time of 1 mr., 8
minutes. The cold cloudy day caused
many TO stay away from the game,
however, despite this some 3G0
ardent fans were glad to see the op-
ening game including about 100 in
automobiles from Ontario.
At first it looked as though the
game would develop into an extra in
ming affair with no scores but in the
fourth the locals earned run
when H. Shake scored from third on
sacrifice hit by Shaffer. In the
seventh Ensign was planted on third
when Harland was sent in as a

R. Darnell then scored Ensign on a
sacrifice fly to center. G. Darne.l
secured a double in the eighth,
went to third on a wild pitch and
scored on a second base error.
Both teams were working hard but
the local club out-hit the visitors,
securing hits off Bruning, while
Ensign the local twirler is credited
with but three hits against him.
Four fast double plays pulled off by
the home crew, the accurate pegg-
ing by Catcher Darnell and the fast
work on the bases tells the story of
the shut-out Only eight of the III
cense payers" reached first while
two found second and one lone star
reached third At no time were the
Greyhounds" in danger with En-
sign pitching better ball each In
ming.
The local outfield got but one
chance which was handled by Sha--
fer. however, with the stick there is
chance for improvement. OF the 9
strike-outs credited against the local
talent of these were made by the
outfield and not a hit was secure
by an out-fielder until Harland,
who relieved Hunter in the 7th
slammed out a two-bagger. Shaffer
is credited with a sacrifice hit which
netted Payette's first run.
The large sized crowd who entered
the gates considering the Gay, showed
much. enthusiasm and with the as

Next Sunday the local club will
play a return game at Ontario and

of the best games of the season is
in store for the fans and Payette
will do her utmost to make it two

p. II. S. Wins
Fast Game

Twelve innings, Yes that was some
game. The first four innings the
Payette boys with the help of some
bad errors forced four runs upon
Nampa High School. The Midget
in the person Of Mr.. Charles Crump
pitched air tight ball and deserved
a no-run game added to his record,
but his hackers were not yet settled
down to hard work But after the
fifth inning the whole P. H. S. team
were on their toes. Everyone was
playing ball. The P. H. S. Warriors
had gathered no runs up to the fifth,
but this inning proved fatal to Nam
pa. The Payette sluggers landed on
the South-Paw Joyner and after the
slaughter was over Payette had
gathered three runs The score
now stood three TO four in favor Of
Nampa but the Midget was coming
back stronger every inning. In the
first of the seventh Nampa gather
ed another run. But Payette came
back strong in the last half of the
seventh and put two runs over the
pan. The score was now tied. From
now on the Midget held the Nam
pa sluggers at his mercy, only two
men seeing second. Payette got
men around to third every inning but
could not bring in the winning run
until the last of the twelfth when
Dibble came home and the game was
won.
This was a great victory for P. II.
S. as Nampa has one of the strong
est teams in the league. and Joyner,
the Nampa pitcher has the strike
out record of the league oincheo.
Crump pitched an excellent game and
the team played like a machine be-
hind him. Next Friday P. H. s.
will meet Boise High School here.
The game will be battle between
the two strongest teams in the
league. And with a right good bunch
of rooters and fans the P. H. S.
ought to take Boise into Camp.

ELEPHANTS AS WORKERS.
Without Them Burms's Teakwood
Trade Would Languish.

Since 1856 the export Of lakewood
from Burma has increased enormous
ly: but. despite the phenomenally high
price OF the wood, it would not be
profitable to work it, even in these
days. without the elephant. In this
trade the Burmese elephants. massive
animals whose strength is almost I'M
limited, are seen at their best as beasts
Of burden.
From the time when the forest areas
are purchased, before the trees are
felled. TO the hour OF export on the
ocean going vessels at the port on the
Indian ocean the elephant is the main
worker. Far away in the malarial
swamps and almost impenetrable jun
giles this majestic beast first tramps
down a passage through the under
growth. Then. guided by his Indian
keepers prong. the elephant COM
mences his arduous labor OF dragging
the felled trees to the river, whence
they are conveyed by raft down coun-
try to the sawmills.
These enormous trees, untrimmed
and cumbrous. are sometimes dragged
up and down the jungle and mountain
forest pathways en- route TO the river
with rare precision. At the mills
again the work of packing and stack
ing is done exclusively by elephants
When the trees are sawed into lengths
the elephants do the piling, bringing
the huge plauks from the sheds and
arranging them in an orderly manner
in numbered piles.-Argonaut

SAVED THE SHIPS CREW.
Daring Rescue by . Heroic Ne~found-
land Fisherman.

4 Sir Edward Morris, prime minister
OF Newfoundland, tells in the Wide
World magazine a remarkable story of
heroism on the part Of a Newfound-
land fisherman. The name OF this man
was George Harvey. and he resided in
a low. rocky island, a few miles east
OF Cape Ray.
In those days the emigrant ships to
Canada were crowded with passen-
gers. In the autumn Of 1882 the brig
Dispatch, bound to Quebec, with 163
souls, in a gale Of wind. struck a rock
about three miles from Harvey's home.
he heard the signals of distress and
Immediately launched his boat with
his boy of twelve, his girl of seventeen
and his dog, and tried to get out to
the wreck. On the deck Of the DOOM
ed ship were crowded the crew and
passengers. in imminent peril of their
lives. A terrible sea ragged between
his boat and the wrecked ship, but
across that awful waste of water the
gallant fisherman and his brave chill
dren urged their fratl skifr. To get
close to the stranded ship was to court
instant destruction. and the task Of
saving those on board seemed well
nigh hopeless. but Harvey's noble
Newfoundland dog, with marvellous in
telligence. seemed to understand what
was required Of him and at a signal
from his master sprang out of the
boat and swan toward the ship. The
seas overwhelmed him and drove him
back, but he perseyered and finally
came near enough. The sailors threw
him a rope. which he gripped with his
sharp teeth, and at last he got back TO
his master and was drawn into the
boat almost dead from exhaustion
Communication was now established
between the ship and Harvey's skiff,
and with the most laborious efforts ev.
cry soul was saved.
