Baseball with essence of Roquefort
heavily sprinkled over the first half
of it was served up to a fairly good
sized crowd of fans yesterday when
La Grande hung one on North Pow
der in six innings. Final score.
La Grande 13, visitors 6. The first
and third innings presented about all
the mixtures that one can see in a
life time, but as the game progressed
the grade of ball played improved and
all told it was fairly good relish for
a hungry bunch of fans.
Oliver came back from his tryout
with the Bears and had one bad in
ning. He lost discipline of the pill
and only the sandlot ball of the visit
ers saved him from a slaughter.
However he tightened, in the next
Inning but his support went to pieces,
with the result that Slate was shift
ed to the mound in the fourth and did
valient work. His support was bet
ter however, than that accorded Oliv
er. F. Pearson went the six innings
for North Powder but toward the last
had trouble with his control and was
touched up repeatedly, in (the fifth
especially, when Cleanup Murchison
drove out a rangy three bagger af
ter Humphrey had singled Galbreith
walked and Slate singled. Other
than that the hits were scattered.
Galbreith was the particular star for
La Grande at the willow and on the
paths showing good form in that re-
spect. Chas Hess got the longest
drive for the visitors but Mercer lead
off with a double and a single.
The worst inning for the Powder
ites came in the second when a chap
ter of bonchcaded plays, walks, wild
heaves and passed balls let in four
runs,
Galbreith topped off the inning by
boldly stealing home while Mark
ham pinched the ball not knowing
where to put it with the giddy whirl
of running going on about him. But
for the heavy rainstorm that came
in the sixth, there is no telling where
the sccores would have ended for
hoth teams wore ready to blow, al
though they hud gone through two
innings of pretty good ball on both
sides of the score card.

I' DOGS IN ALASKA.
Carry Great Loads Over Snow That
Would Not Hold a Man.
Dogs are surely the real thing for
"mushing" In the cold country. To my
mind they bent reindeer a mile. Most
of them weigh less than 100 pounds,
and they distribute their weight over
their four feet, so that they can trot
over a weak snow crust where a man
would sink out of sight by breaking
through the crust Into the soft snow
below. On a good, level, smooth trail
ten dogs can trot along with a ton of
freight behind tbem, and 500 or 600
pounds is a fair load on poor trails..
A peculiar thing is that a twelve foot
sled, twenty-two to twenty-four inches
wide, with runners two and one-quarter
Inches wide, bearing a load of COO
to 800 pounds, will not sink through
a snow crust that will not bear a man.
This occurs because two runners two
and one-quarter Inches wide and
twelve feet long give a large area of
bearing on the crust. This, coupled
with the motion that keeps the sled
passing over all the time, accounts for
the remarkable fact I am speaking of.
One of the greatest dangers in
"mushing" is encountering water un
der the snow on the river ice in very
cold weather or breaking through into
hollow places where the stream has
sunk away from under the ice. This Is
the most dangerous of nil, and often
when it happens a man Is frozen to
death before be can get to shelter or
get ifp his tent and start a fire. B. S.

, THE STUDY OF WORDS.
It's a Helpful 8oheme to Ueu Your Dic

Writing an nrtlcle. "Treasure In

study of words:

"And this brings me to suggest that

synonyms, for Instance, and learn from

tho meanings and values of them.
"Notice the degrees of forco In the

to detest, to abhor. Each note struck

UNIVERSAL LIBERTY.
So, now, In this crisis of the
fate of liberty, if any of the re
nowned men of this nation
should betray her cnuse. It were
better that he bad been un
known to fame. It need not be
hoped that the brightness of
their past glory will dazzle the
eyes of is(erlty, or Illumine the
pages of Impartial history. A
few of its rays may still' linger
on a fading sky. but they will .
very soon be whelmed In dark
ness, for unless progressive
civilization and the Increasing
love of freedom throughout, the
Christian and civilized world

of universal liberty. Is already
above the horizon and fast cours

parted to each one his papal bene
diction. "Surge et sede" (rise and
I be seated) he said to me, and then
listened intently to tne story or tne
development of this great northwest
ern country, showing surprising
'knowledge of conditions in all their
I varying phases. "The pope, he con
tinued, is bowed down by the cares
' of so many countries, but he has a
wonderful personality. He is in
tensely democratic and though the
I ruler of so many people, is alive for
the welfare of souls under his care."
I He spoke of the eternal city, with
' its wonders of architecture, and paint
ing fostered by the great brain of
Michael Angelo, Rafael and Leon
' ardo da Vinci; he described
; graphically the beautiful and awe in
, spiring interior of St. Peters, the
j mecca for millions of Christians each

of accommodating 70,000 people; its
great dome, modeled after the Pan
theon, and erected by a. pagan Rome
to all the gods of paganism; its nu
merous churches with their in
calculable stores of paintings and
architectural and sculptural ibeauties,
models for present day art; the un
surpassable Vatican library with it3
volumes of hand painted books and
illuminated by the indefatigable in
dustry of the monks, its treasures of
sculpture and its priceless manu
scripts in every conceivable language.
He spoke of his descent into the sub
terranean caverns, called the cata
combs, in which the early Christians
were compelled to practice the teach
ings of Christ. He spoke feelingly
of the tombs of saints, whose lives
were given vfor the faith that was in
them. He enumerated the names of
Saintly martyres, whose names are
familiar in all homes, mentioning St.
Cecelia, patroness of music, St.
Sebastian, an early martyr, St. Agnes
the virgin, Cyprian, Polycarp and
thousands of others whose remains
lie cealed in the walls of these inte
esting caverns hewn into stone.
From Rome the party went to
Egypt, where they saw the wonders
of modern Irrigation; The Assuan
dam planned and executed by English
money and ingenuity. He narrated
incidents in the life of the Savior and
his parents on their flight into
Egypt to escape the edict of murder
by Herod. They were shown the
spot where Moses is said to have been
placed in a basket in the Nile to
escape the decree of the Egyptian
King Pharao that all first born of the
Jews be slain.
He described a trip to the great
pyramids in the valley of Giza, which
are among the seven wonders of the
world, and at which 30,000 men at one
time are said to have worked for a
period of thirty years. . He . was
astounded with the commercial ac
tivity at Port Said, the entrance to the
Suez canal, and remarked that if the
Panama canal did us much business
as the Suez canal, the West would not

the east.
From here the party went to Jaffa,
mentioned in scripture as tl;e nieeung
place of St. Peter and Simon the tan

ground of the nobles and their armies
bent on wresting control of the holy

STEREOPTICON LECTURE j
Tricks and Traps of White Slavers j
Guy F. Phelps to Deliver two Lectures i
In La Grande !
Slides and Lectures
Absolutely Clean
The noted lecturer and author, Guy Pitch Phelps
will speak at the First Methodist Church of La
Grande, Tuesday, May 26 at 8 p. m.,
on "Tricks, Traps and Secrets of White Slavers."
First Baptist Church of La Grande, on May 27, at
8 P. M. Subject: "Barbary Coast at Midnight"
This subject is vitally important to all, and
everyone should endeavor" to hear this speaker.
The secret methods and workings of the White
Slave Trust will be laid bare in a sane and delicate
way. Mr. Phelps has spent veal's in securing his in
formation and is recognized' as one of the best in
formed speakers on this subject in the United States.
His lectures are strictly for a mixed audience.
Mr. Phelps has delivered his lectures in all the
leading churches of the Pacific Coast, of all denom
inations. So effective has been his work that the
white slavers of Portland recently, combined to kill
him at the earliest opportunity.
Mr. Phelps has a desire to reach the masses and
for this reason .the admission fee has been set at the
popular sum of 10c. This man and his message at
tracted upon his third visit an audience of 600 re
cently in Corvallis. Adv.
the relics gathered by Queen Helena,
mother of Constantine, all of the
relics of Christ himself. On this
same spot, under the high altar, the
cross had been erected with its
precious victim. During the cele
bration, Turkish guards stood about
in the edifice with drawn sords, to
keep peace and order. Notice by the,
Franciscan patriarch had to be sent
to the Turkish governor to obtain
j permission to celebrate the mass.
. He considered this a great priviledge,
inasmuch as eight or ten bishops
of the church were in Jerusalem at
the time. He visited the stable of
Bethlehem, went the same way
troden by Mary when she visited
her cousin Elizabeth, mother of St.
John, and saw the same spot where
the famous precourser of Christ
first saw the light of day. He made
the journey from Jerusalem to Jeri
cho which figures in the gospel nar
rative of the man who fell among
the robbers and was later picked up
by the good Samaritan and taken to
the inn and cared for. He went the
way of the cross and saw the pillar
at which Christ was scourged; he
whiled away several hours in the
garden of Mt. Olivet, where Christ,
in the presence of his descinles, ns-

cended into heaven. He spoke of
the Wall of Wails, a part of King
Solmon's temple, at whose broken
sides Jews from all parts of the
earth yearly, at the time of the Pass
over, came to bewail the loss of
their nation and country.
On the return trip the party stop
ped at the famous shrine of Lourdes
where stacks of crutches and mis
cellaneous paraphernalia used by in
valids give testimony to cures that
baffle medical science and surgery,
and which is yearly visited by
hundreds of thousands in the quest
of health, sight or relief from some
spiritual or physical affliction.
"France, he said, is coming back to
the faith."
When the party rounded Sandy
Hook in New York harbor a shout of
joy went up at being once more under
the benign Stare and Stripes, repre
senting the grandest country on
earth. "This" said he, "one can real
ize onlv by a visit resulting in a fair
contrast of all that the old world ha
and the new world contains. The
Bishop said he was glad t6 be back
in the United States, the land of the
free and tho brave, "the grandest
country of them all."
