PEACE TERMS ARRANGED FOR
 ENDING OF BASEBALL WAR
Agreement Reached by Federal and American IS Approved by American League Magnets-All But Final Arrangements Competed But Not Made Pubc-Wi Be But Two Major Leagues -Dreyfuss is Messenger of Peace. ...

league magnates SO We reached terms with the Federal league which are agreeable to both them and the Ma tional league and our proposition met with the approval of the Amercian league. Our close relations with the American league made it desirable that complete accord exist on the question, and it looks as if we had reached that.
 "I laid the terms before the American league at it's meeting here and can say no more about it. l can give out no de- tails.
 "The end of the baseball war is in sight" said President Johnson. The plans for peace submitted by MT. Drey- fuss were agreeable to the American league, according to the sense of our meeting and we shall appoint a com mittee to go over the details.
 Tt is probable the meeting of the three committees will be followed by meeting of the national commission. The proposition for peace includes the re maining two major leagues
 The peace terms. as previously given out by members of both the National and Federal leagues, included the pur- chase of a large interest in one of the New York clubs by Harry Sinclair; the purchase of the Chicago Nationals by Charles Weeghman and his associates, the sale of the Browns or Cardinals at St. Louis to Phil Ball and Otto Stefel, and the amalgamation of the Brooklyn Nationals and Federals. Neither Mir. Dreyfuss nor tho American league lead CTS would verify these statements.
 The peace protocol ends a war that be- gan to attract attention just two years ago this month The Federal league had been in existence then a year, but not un- til Joe Tinker, unable to reach terms with the Brooklyn Nationals, had agreed to joint tie Chicago Federals, did it look sericue. Tinker induced a number of players from both rival leagues to join the new league, and it's organizers suc- ceedej in attracting additional capital sts as hackers.
 The new league then expanded, put ting Brooklyn and St. Louis in addi- tion to it's former circuit, and one by one gathered into it's Told some star ball players.
 The legality of contracts brought the fight between the Federals and organized ball into the courts in several cases, the climax coming with the antitrust suit filed before Judge Landis about year ago This case came to trial last Janu- ary, but Judge Landis has never handed down a decision and some baseball men thought he was hoping for the success of peace negotiations, since, during the trial, he declared he was against any thing calculated to tear down this structure known as baseball"

in diameter, and often many are re-
quired to finish the task. In the
autumn the spider closes the entrance
completely in this manner, frequently
using a large quantity of material.
1t is then ready to pass the wintre in
semi-lethargic state, partaking of
no food. In the spring it digs its way
out. If the burrow is still in good
condition it is cleaned out, the refuse
being placed in circle about the
opening, where it renders the abode
conspicuous. If the burrow proves
untenable another one is sought at
once. There is evidence tending to
show that the spider does not seek
another habitation as long as the old
one is suited to it's needs; and quite
often a number have been found that
have lived at least three years in one
place, judging by the number of dis
carded skins of suggestive size found
in the burrow. During the growth Of
the tarantula, which requires about
twenty years, it sheds it entire skin
once a year-in midsummer. The
event is an important one to the spi-
der, and as it is then quite helpless,
the entrance is previously closed, a
sheet of silk drawn across it sufficing.
In June two or three hundred eggs
are produced in mass which is at
once covered with silk. The tunnel,
unlike that of the trap-door spider,
is not lined with silk; therefore to
guard the eggs against contamination,
while they are uncovered, the spider
first encloses itself in a silk bag,
sufficiently large to allow it to turn
around freely. think that this fea-
ture has not often been described
The discovery was made by watching
spiders in captivity, numerous brief
inspections having been made at suit
able intervals. The subjects aver
sion to light and to being disturbed
at this period is quite apparent, and
any prolonged or too frequent inspec-
tion causes it to abandon the task, so
the entire operation cannot be learned
from single spider. Unless it is
captured within few days of the
time the cocoon is to be made, the
spider makes no effort whatever to
preserve the eggs. The large envel-
ope enclosing the spider is quite frail,
but its distention is insured by at
tachments to the walls of the burrow;
and while it is very thin it is so
closely woven that the finest dust is
excluded. The floor of this silken
cell is raised little above the floor
of the burrow. Soon after the egg
mass is properly enclosed in its cover
ing. the fabric enclosing the spider is
torn away. Vhe filshed cocoon is
over an inch in diameter and shaped
like depressed globe. The young
emerge from the cocoon in mid-sum-
mer and, after shedding their skins,
are found to be the size of house fly
Invested of the wings. They remain
during the summer in the maternal
domicile, seemingly a happy family;
but in autumn they leave, one by one,
each seeking some hole, suited to its
size, which it proceeds to clean out
and barricade in conventional manner
Nature will favor two, perhaps, out
of as many hundred, and protect them
until they die of old age, at the end
of twenty-five or thirty years.

The Weippe high school once more

when last Saturday night the girls.
of the school defeated the girls team
from Kooskia, in hard fought con-
test. The Weippe girls had rot
planned on the game, nor practiced
for it, and the choice of material is
very limited in so small school.
But despite these conditions, and the
additional one that the visiting team
outweighed the Weippe team about
twenty pounds to the player, the home
girls guarded their opponents skill
fully, and proved themselves ADEPT
at basket thr owing. More headwork
and science were introduced than is
usual in girls game. The contest
was exciting and exceedingly interest

1.-The Birth of. Nation" cannot be
exaggerated. 1t is too tremendous,
too gigantic for that. There are
countless scenes in it that tongue or
pen cannot cope with. Only the eye
alone can realize the wonderful
progress the motion picture has made
in this phenomenal masterpiece.
1t seems that everything that the
brain of man could conceive has
been put into this subject. Eighteen
thousand people were used in telling
the story, 5000 horses and countless
guns, shells, etc., utilized in its mas
sive battle scenes. Two years time
was consumed in it's making and the
approximate cost has been 100000
Imagine a pictorial production of
love, romance and history, including
tremendous battle scenes the equal OF
which have never yet been shown
upon a screen; imagine such scenes
