1t is matter of court record, for ex.

The silkies have jet black skin, which

Lottie Reed, the daughter of Mrs
Lucy Reed, who disappeared from her
home mere last Thursday, was found in
Portland at the Union depot Saturday
by City Detective Hawley. The girl
told the officer that she was married to

remain in Portland. Search failed to

The girl was turned over to a brother.
The Reed girl, borrowing money, left

APPLE TARIFF REDUCTION

The reduction. or absorption, Of
freight rates on apples from points on
the Mount Hood railway vii be mu-
tualIy beneficial to the railway Inc a. d
the growers. The reduction in the rate
will bring a great saving to growers OF
the Upper Valley and points centrally
located around Odel. 1t will be a saw
ing of real money; for freight charges
must be paid. We can already see
Capitalization Of shipping points in the
valley. The movement Of fruit in the
more remote communities will cease TO
come to Hood River. The long wugor
haul will be eliminated. 1t will be
more economical to place the apples at
one of the valleys stations and ship By
rail. The railways business will be
increased to such an extent that the
loss caused by the curtailed rate will
be more than MADE up by the volume
Of business.
As Mr.. Early recently stated, the
Union Pacific line has always been kind
to the people of Hood River. While
apparently the greater part Of the alb
sorption in rates announced will be
borne by the Union Pacific line, proper
tionately the Mount Hood line, the
smaller line, will bear the greater part
of the reduction.
The officials Of both lines should have
the thanks Of the apple growers for
their willingness to bring the y after
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, without the interposition of a
lot of fuss and feathers, and to have it
settled in time for the benefits to ac
crue from this years crop

cause they played the better game and
were steady at critical times. Errors
figured in every run scored during the
contest, and as the work Of the two
pitchers was very even, it was the sup
port they received that decided the con-
test. Oxford County Agricultural So
ciety has the reputation of having the
best kept grounds of any society In the
state, but certainly this does not apply
to the base bali diamond. 1t is In
wretched condition and errors on ground
balls are almost excusable. However,
Norway High playing its home games
and practicing there should have done
better in this respect than Paris, who
had not played there before this season.
Penfold, not fully recovered from bis
recent injury, did not have much on the
ball, but endeavored to make the Nor.
way batsmep bit where Paris man
would get the ball. In this he was sue
cessful, Norway getting only five safe
hits. He struck out only four and passed
two. Klaiu also struck out four and
passed two, being hit safely seven times.
The game was interesting and quickly
played. Each team was hitting the ball
and somegood fielding plays were made.
Daley of Lewiston did the umpiring and
did we'll. Certainly Norway supporters
cannot claim the loss of this game was
due to auy mistakes on the umpire's
part that favored Paris.
Features for Paris were the work of
the infield and Dow's outfield playing.
For Norway, the fielding Of Descoteau1,

and the hitting of Shepard, who got
three of Norway's five hits.
