D. Mock, of Grant's Pass, Or., who

The football game yesterday after
noon was a very one-sided affnlr, and
this with the cold and the tact that
It took more time to get the bull in
play ufter n foul thun to make the
play, or to make n score, combined
to moke It uninteresting tor the pat
riotic, cranks who braved the cold and
the frost to see the game.
Tho Pendleton boys had the best
of It from the llrst, and nt no time
was their goal In danger, while the
Indians made one steady tight for
victory from the time the game was
called until the last half was finished.
But their team work was a minus
quantity, and they could nt no time
hope for the long end of the score
Hoesch nnd Strand of the Pendle
ton team did somo of the best play
ing of the day and wort the ones
resorted to for sure gains when those
were needed.
On the Indian side of the field were
several good men, but they had neith
er practice nor team work, and their
desperate struggles availed their
cause nothing.
With a little coaching and enougu
practice to teach thorn to play to
gether, thoy could mnke it very liner
estluc for the Pendloton boys.
The Bt-ores woro frequent and easy
nnd nt the end of the game the re
sult stood 21 to 0 In favor of the local
team.

nlffhl, was captured at II o'clock
Tuiiihday night while silting In a
hulol at Condon, Gilliam county, hy
Sheriff Johnson, of thut county.

hours until tho sheriff walked into
the hotel olflco and arrested him. He

nize Day as a detective again. Day
says tho reason ho did not sleep In
the same berth with Parker was thai
Parker had been con fined for u few
days In the city jail at Helena, and
from all appearances had contracted
a heavy and active Bupply of Jail
"grey backs," and that he did not
wish to share the luxury with him.

The old prices on the river boats
between Tho Dalles und Portland,
have been restored and tlcketB now
cost as much as formerly. A sharp
rate war has been on for several
months between tho rival river linen,
and rates were' cut down below a
figure at which tho companies con Id
afford to do business. Owing to tho
great expense of operating the boats
the companies have been driven to
restore tho old pricoB or go out of
business,
Tho cut In priced has Inducud many
noople to travel by boat hotwoon Tho
Dalles and Portland, but this arrange
ment will bo dono away with In fu
ture as tho boat ticket at the old
price is no inducement to travel,
owing to tho long tlmo required to
make the trip.
