Hiabee to Portland.

Merritt Higbee of Missoula. who has
been attending the State University
here and also has been playing with
the Missoula Athletic club basketball
team, leaves today for Portland, Ore,
where he will join the Portland Pacific
. Coast league club. to which he was
sold by the Three-I league club for
which he pitched last year. Higbec
will accompany the team to Honolulu,
where il will get into condition for
the coming league race. While nu-
merous teams of picked players have
gone to Hawaii to play exhibition
games after the end of the season,
the Portland crew will be the first to
go there for the purpose of getting into
conditions for the summers campaign.
In 1908 Mike Fisher. a well known
coast baseball promoter, took over the
first team of transformers TO the Ha-
waiian islands. The captain of that
team was the long to be remembered
Red Dog DcycrcauX, who later
played in the Union association with
Salt Lake and spiced many a game at
Campbell park with his quaint humor.
In November and December last year,
Charley Swain took a number of Coast
league players over, and they cleaned
up a pile Of money playing against the
teams in the Honolulu league.
The NiSsoula Athletic club will play
two games at Billings on February Is

The YuEe log burnt In the han,
And helmet and shield and banner

And the baron ioas telling stories
To the little ones at his knees
OF some Of the holy places
He had pfsited overseas.
Then he spake Of the catching shep-
herds,
Who sdlo such marvellous sights
And the song that the angels chGnted
That first Of the Christmas nights.
He told of the star tohose shining
OutspdrkIed the brightest gem;
He told Of the halIosoed cradle
They shoaoed him at Bethlehem.
And the eyes Of the children gIistened
To think that rack su9ced,
With only the strato for blankets,
To cradle the baby Christ.
Nay, dry up your tears, my darlings,"

For nothing but smiles must greet

that the first and greatest Christmas

the ages have been most deeply in

perhaps some premonition. The
seventy weeks of Daniels prophecy

Suddenly their attention was ar

the form of an angel, and then they
heard a voice announcing the birth
of Christ as glad tijings for all peo-

suddenly the air was filled with an

right out from the air.
We know not their wonderful
song, but part came to mortal ears,
