London, Jnny 1Sth-lho House OF Com
NOUS was over crowded when the dehlte on
the Home Rule Bill was resumed by Mr..
John Redmond, who spoke with solemn clp-
quence, being only interrupted by roars Of
applause. There were ~eXultant opposition
cheers when Mr.. Bouar Law declared that,
"Ulster viii resist and Ulster Win be right.
There was never Il more justified rebellion,
and even if II hundred die IN Belfast t0mor-
row, II thousand will arise for the same fate"
Others spoke, including MIR. f. +. Smith,
Sir John Simon, Mr.. Timothy Healy and Mr..
Birrell who closed the debate and criticised
Mr.. Ronar Law's belittling of the National
ist movement. He admitted listers oppH-
sition, but challenged Mr.. Law to suggest
an alternative method of ending the Impos-
slble conditions, which Mr.. Bonar Law was
unable to say could endure.
Mr.. Bulfour's motion to reject the Bill
wns lost by 3G8 votes to 258. The third read
ing was then ordered and passed by 367 to
257, the vote in favour including 24S Liber-
ais, SO Irish and 81 Labourites.
The Natlonalists cheered Mr.. Asquith and
Mr.. Redmond and then escorted the Bill,
tied with Green Ribbon, to the House of
Lords, cheering as they passed through he
lobby. The House OF Lords met and passed
the first reading OF the Home Rule Bill.
Thousands awaited the result outside the
House i'll n drilling rain and there were
many counter cries, but no disorders. Mr.. f.
Il Smith, NJ, z. led II procession to the Con-
stitutional Club and from an open window
declared that the real decision would not be

had gathered before the City Hall. May

We were recently asked What and
where is this Putumayo of which we have
Iateiy seen so much IN the kilograms CIV
in a brief reply, it occurred to us that
s me others of our readers might be inclined
t. ask the same question. and we therefore
give the substance of our reply III the FOL
lowing few sentences. The simplest answer
is that Putuunnyo is in the first place tue
name of o South American river, winch rises
in Colombia, runs through Ecuador, and then,
in the northeast corner OF Peru, forms
the boundary between that country AID
Brazil till It enters The mighty Amazon. 1u
The next place It IS the name OF thHt
part of Peru which IS near the river Pu-
tumayo. The atrocities OF which we read
have therefore been perpetrated III Peru,
and the Peruvian Government Is consequently
responsible, Notwithstanding that the deeds
complained of have been done by agents of
an English company.
Peru is o very lnrge country, being three
times the size of the British Isles, or twice
MS large as France or rs Germany. 1t has IL
coast line on the Pacific Of about 400 miles,
stretching from northwest to poutheast. 1t is
a county of marvellous contrasts. The great
mountain chain of the Andes passes through
il parallel to the coast and leaving Il com
pnratively narrow strip between the noun
toipc opl fha Tho An1pG il, parll form,
three pni sllel chains, the westernmost of
which contains many high volcanoes, some
over 10000 feet in elevation. The whole
system is 200 miles or more in width and is
called the Sierra. On the eastern side the
country descends through billy lands scored
by great rivers down to the plain of the
Amazon. This last stretch of Peruvian ter
rItory is known rs the Montana.
The three strips of territory mentioned
above have each its own character. The
coast strip is almost a desert, being fertile
only in the valleys of the numerous rivers
flowing down from the Sierra, the mountain
strip is rocky, and III many parts covered
with snow, while the innermost strip is q rich
country clothed with vegetation, and to u
great extent with large forests.
1t is curious to notice how things which
are far apart, in their nature and even in
their distance from each other, often have a
real connection. This is the case here, for
the trade wind, with which we are so familiar
in St. Croix is one of the main causes of the
striking contrasts mentioned above. This wind
passes from the Atlantic over the Amazon
valley and is forced up into the higher re-
gions of the air by the lofty mountains,
which, SO to say. squeeze the moisture out of
it, to fall in the lnnermost strip as heavy
rains, and IN the mountain strip mostly as
snow, leaving the dry air to rush down on
the Peruvian coast. In the vast forests

FAN FODDER

Captain Lodell is making a good
start with his team.
Both Berger and King delivered
safely twice when hits meant runs.
Yesterdays win gave Pendleton her
first series of the second half.
Pendleton plays in walla walla
this week and North Yakima goes to
Boise.
Fitchner certainly got his bumps
Saturday, Dean, varian and Lodell all
finding him for effective blows.
Gordon tried to essay the role of a
pinch hitter in the ninth yesterday. He
took three swings at the ball and
didn't even come close.
Berger had lot of stuff yesterday
ou. in the first few innings it began
to look as 4 he would have to strike
out every batter to win his game.
Augustus had a sweet day of it at
shortstop but Netzel did his best to
keep abreast of him in the error coll
umn. Each contributed three errors
and they had a considerable bearing
upon the run getting.
The Bucks seem to be looking up
in the batting department. In both
the Saturday and Sunday games they
came from behind, overcame a good
lead and landed the bacon by bunch
ing hits.
Peterson who arrived yesterday to
play third base, outfield or behind the
eat as needed, hog-tied his meal tick
ct by polling out the three bagger
which scored the run that tied the
game.
Did anyone notice that peg Dean
made from left field yesterday, cut
ting off Ford at second. The road
louise had whanged out nice single
down the third base line and the hit
looked good for an easy two bags
Pendleton has needed wing like
Deans in left field for some time.

BUCKS GET TOGETHER AND WIN OUT

After handing the game to Yaki.
ma in the first few innings by sue
cession of errors and misplays, the
Buckarooes yesterday came from be-
hind and atoned for their faulty
fielding by humbling Peterson in the
seventh and eighth. In this humbling
they were given valiant assistance BY
Netzel, the Brave second sacker. In
each OF these frames the Bucks slip
ped three across the rubber, making
the final reading, Pendeton 8. Yaki-
ma A.
The game started rotten enough to
make knocker of the most loyal
ran. King began the comedy OF boots
In the first by wide throw to first
but fortunately there were two down
and Berger was able to pull through
without a score. In the second, how
ever. they had effect. Dean dropped
the ball after gathering in Stokke's
hard drive. A hit by Harrod and a
couple of bad errors by Augustus put
over the first score and Peterson's two
ply swat added another Ford ground
ed out but Fuller walked, filling the
bases. Nadeau popped up a little in
field fly which made the second out
automatically Umpire Jimmie Rich
ardson became confused, however
and when the ball was thrown to
third ruled that Peterson was forced
out. The decision caused an uproar
and ended in the protest of the game
by Manager Gordon.
In the third Netzeps single. Grow
ers' sacrifice and Augustus third boot
made the score three to nothing for
the visitors In the fourth. however,
Pendleton broke into the run column.
Lodell reached second on Netzel's
overthrow to first. Varian sent the
next one at the Yak second sacker
and II eluded his nit by bad little
bounce, Lodell scoring Varian was
forced at second on Haworth's infield
ball and Haworth was In turn forced
by Dean, who stole second. Peterson
walked and he and Dean pulled off
double steal by virtue of little bone
headed work by Fuller Kings hit
over pitcher added the second score.
The Braves went down in one, two,
three order until the seventh when an
error, hit by Nadeau and a double
steal gave them their fourth and last
score
1t was in the seventh also that the
Bucks solved the delivery and curves
of Peterson. Up until this inning he
had allowed but three hits, two Of
which were of the scratch variety.
Dean opened by hitting a slow one
to first and beating it out and Peter
son. the new P.hdleto utility player
followed with long triple to center.
Kings second pinch hit scored Pc

scoring the winning run. That was

ner allowing frequent blows into safe
territory. The Yakima speed mer-
chant was however. much the wilder
Of the and but for goodly bunch of
luck would have had a bigger score
piled up against him. Four times
Pendleton runners were cut off at the
plate. once Fitchner loaded the bases
with none down and got out OF the
hole without allowing a score. Again
he filled them with only one down
and pulled out safely
Pendleton almost got a run in the
first. Two safe knocks put Lodell on
third and Varian on first but the for
mer was caught at the plate when Ha-
worth laid down a ground ball to
short. In the second the Braves
jumped on to Peet with a vengeance.
With one down. Stoke singled Har-
rod tripled and Taylor singled the net

third they fell upon him. hard. Ma

sacker. With one down. Growers hit
to Naukhton who threw to the plate
to catch Nadeau. who slid to what
the jumps called safety. Haworth,
however. had him blocked at the
pate but in the dust Jimmie couldn't
very well see the play Stoke fol-
lowed with a single but the next two
line drives were caught by Dean and
Osborne and there was no further
scoring.
1t was in the last of the third that
Fitchner's downfall came. He sent
a speedball into Naughton's legs to-
begin with and Lodell followed with
a smashing drive through the box.
Varian's double scored Naughton and
when Haworth waited out four bad
ones. the bases were full with none
down. Dean was up and the fans
were expecting him to do just what
he did. On a sharp inside curve, he
stepped back and swung. the ball
travelling far into right field and over
Stokke's head Lodell, Varian and
Haworth followed each other to the
plate and when Netzel threw to cut
off Haworth and the ball went wide.
Dean too came home. Fitchner stead

A walk to Naughton followed by
Varian's three sacker gave the Bucks
their sixth score in the fourth. In
the sixth they filled the bases with
none down but two men were caught
at the plate and the third popped
out In the seventh with one down.
Dean cracked out a double to center
and advanced to third on Osborne's

Dean was caught at the plate. King
laid down a fluke hit toward first

Peet got out of a bad hole in the
