He dealt in sophistry to the ex-
tent of diserediting the open
river improvements on the
ground the transportation bus
mess on the river is not heavy
enough to justify the cost of
the work on the river.
The benefits of the open
river work of course are shown
not merely by the business on
the river but by the reduced
rail rates due directly or indi-
rectly to the opening of the
river. In years gone by the
grain rate from Umatilla coun-
ty to Portland was over Is
cents per bushel. 1t is now
eight and a third cents. The
lopening of the canal at Cas-
cade locks caused a 40 per cent
cut in the grain rate from The
Dalles. The establishment of
the portage road at Cello is
credited with another reduc-
ton in the wheat rate. Reduc-
itions were also made in the
rates on practically all lines OF
merchandise.
In order to arrive at the
benefits of opening the Column
bia to navigation it would be
necessary to ascertain the raj
rate reductions and the saving
each year to consumers and
producers through these re,
auctions. Obviously the sun
would be very large and
would completely overshadow
the subject of the tonnage or
the river itself.
Improvements on the Co
lumbia have greatly benefit

the railroads should not have

llege curriculum for physical training,

by the fact that men who have grad
uated recently seem physically more
fit than earlier graduates. statistics
seem to justify this view, AS much
can meanwhile be gained in colleges

Why should we not? When We

on fielding errors, and in determining
the base to which a rune should
have been held with perfect support
on part Of fielders.
Errors All Judged Alike.
An error made by pitcher is the
same as though made by any other
fielder. and should not be charged
against the pitchers earned run rec
ord.
No run can be earned that scores
as result of batsman having reached
first on a fielding error or passed
ball.
No run can be earned after tho
fielding side has missed a chance or
chances to retire the side. g..
Following are examples, presuming
that perfect play has preceded the
plays outlined:
Before two are out-runners on
third and first; outfielder drops fly
ball, but recovers and forces man at
second, the run scoring on play Do
not score run as earned on hat par
ticular play if the fielder had an easy
throw to head off run at plate.
Before two are out-Smith base on
ball: would have been forced out at
second but for error on Browns
grounder to short; Wilson triples
Only Browns run earned, as Smith
should nave been out.
None out-Smith hit by pitcher; to
second on an out; to third on wild
pitch: scores on another out. Earn
ed run.
Before two out-Smith singles;
steals second; should have been out al
third but for an error; Brown hits
home run, Only last run earned.
Smith first on balls; second on
Brown being hit; two more bases on
balls force Smith home. Earned run,
None 0ut-Smith singles; Brown
sacrifices; Smith scores when third
baseman makes error on Wilson'S
grounder; Green doubles. Smiths
run becomes an earned run as he
would have scored from second or
hit without help of the error
In cases where runner advances az
result of poor judgment by fielder
but where no actual fielding error Il
made. the same must be scored al
perfect play. Errors and passed
balls can be construed only as des'
ignated in sections 8 and 10, respect

In case of doubt as to scoring o

Character and it's
Variety of Meanings

(By Lyman P. Powell, President of
Hobart College. From his recent
address at Cornell University
Character is the power to stand
alone even If all about you take an
other point of view.
Character is social grace. 1t is the
ability ordinarily to get on with 9TH
ers, to turn the chance acquaintanoe
into a real friend. IT is no by-pro-
duct of a model college TO stand alone
when there is no need. That is, in
fact. merely an idiosyncrasy, having
no connection with college and never
a by-product of the model college
Character is the ability to see the
point of others, and a quick readiness
to admit that one may possibly be
wrong.
Character includes even act and
pleasant address ana quick forgetful-
ness Of untoward things. Hew to the
line we must, to have the highest
character. but. as has been truly
tinted, there is no need to pick uT
chips.
Character includes the power tC
discriminate between good and evil
between the important and the triv'
ial. between the service of others ant
the thought Of self, between good cit.
izenship and bad or as has too otter
been said with truth OF college men
Indifferent citizenship. between thor
oughness and specifically, between
truth and f%alsehoOd.
Character gives an absorbing inter

TWELVE NEW FAMILIES

ms shown by a news story in
n the East Oregonian yes
terday the Blewett Har-
vester Company has brought IL
new families to Pendleton.
That means IL more houses
occupied Though where they
are to be found is a mystery
it means IL more patrons for
local stores, churches and
schools.
Best of all these people are
all producers and the money
that goes to meet the COM
pany's payroll comes from out
side of Pendleton. 1t will
come from the wheat farmers
of eastern Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho. The company's
payroll will be approximately
$4,000 a year and practically
all of that money will be spent
in Pendleton.
Pendleton people put up th'
sum of S25, 900 to insure thu
location of this harvester plan
here. The community will ge'
that sum back from the com
pany each year.
It is the sort of business tina
makes for permanent loca
growth.

Baking Helps

Learn to Regulate the Heat Of
Your Oven

ByAfys. Janet Mckenzie I'm, Edikor@
the Boston Cooking School Magazine
There is just one way to make
your cakes rise high and keep an
even surface. Have your oven
moderate at first, until the cake is
fully rizen; then increase the heat,
so as to brown it over quickly.
Extreme heat stiffens the dough.
If you stiffen the outside of the
cake before the rising is complete,
you stop the rising process. Then
the leavening gas, forming inside,
will bulge up the center, where
the dough is still soft, and spoil
the shape of the cake. az
NorE-Biscuits or other pastries
made from stiff dough, that are cut into
shapes for the oven, bake in hot oven.
This is because the cut surfaces of the
hOuSh wv hOb GIdl ONCAg buS AdNllCl
leave the pores open, allowing the
leavening gasto escape and the heat to
penetrate readily. Small ovens cool
quickly; therefore they should be made
several degrees hotter than a larger
oven, and the less the door is opened
the better. Do not attempt to bake
bread and pastry together. Bread re-
quires prolonged, moderate baking
pastry the reverse.
Have a strong underheat for baking
powder preparations, especially pastry.
These are only a few OF the many
baking helps found in the X c Cooks
