Pearson academy is the preparatory school for Whitman college and Mar tin, 'Whitman's crack sprinter, was the star man for the visitors and carried off more points than ar!7 other Individual competitor, Jay, Pendleton's star man, would have surpassed him In this particu lar, however, but for the fact that the low hurdle race was pulled off while he was throwing the discus and he could not enter In the former.

THE TALE OF AN INDIAN HUNTER. MANY PERSONS keep their money In this bank, that they may have it within ready reach when needed for dally use; t-ome keep )t here awaiting op portunities for Investment; others, to avoid the risk and annoyance of loaning, keep it here as a permanent Investment thin bank paying them four per cent interest thereon. It will be seen that we :uTomrnodute all claf",es. Commercial National Bank United States Depository (Mary G. Morse In Coast Magazine.) Of all races of people the Indian tribe alone seem to be the rlshest In traditional lore and most gifted with that tendency to secretlveness so characteristic In a superstitious race. Many are the strange stories told by the aborigines of Puget sound, and some of these, It Is believed, are more than mere tradition. Indeed, they are not without credence by many at the present time. Years ago, when Seattle was a very small place, and the stretch of land called the Olympla Peninsula was al most a wilderness, there lived on the picturesque banks of the Elwha rlvei an old Indian called Hunter Sam He spoke very little English, and the following tale which he told of his experience In the Olympia moun tains was, of-course, related In Chi nook: "It was one day In early October," said 'he, "and I started on a hunting trip. The woods were very thick and paths were few, but I followed the course of the Elwha river to the base of the mountains. I had hunted elk and ueer many times and 1 knew the way too well to get lost. "This time I had traveled for many miles and It was getting late. My feet were sore' and I was tired and hun gry. 'If I do not see game before I curve yonder peak,' said I, 'I will rest for the night.' "But even as I went oh a black cloud In the sky grew larger and hid tho sun, and the rain began to pour upon me. The branches of the trees cast a deep shade over the whole for est, and, almost before I knew it It was dark. In the distance I could hear the evil spirit of the mountain hooting at me and I shivered from fear. Not far away I heard the rush of the river and I started for the river bank through the storm. At last I crawled on my hands and knees, until, suddenly I found myself In. a dry place. I felt a rocky wall on . both sides of me nnd I knew that I ffas 111 soino kind of a enve. Glad to get shelter, I crawled -back a little way, so as not to hear the evil sounds of the night so plainly, and then I felt myself falling. When I awoke It was still dark and I was lying on something hard. I felt sick and could not at first think where I was. Put suddenly ah, what was that? Through the darkne-g I saw some thing glitter like the eyes of a fright ened deer. I could not find my gun, but I struck a match to see what was there, and listen, I will tell you what I saw. No deer, hut silver, yes, much silver. I took out my knife and scraped it. What I tell Is true, but no white man could find that cave. It is hidden by much brush and weeds now, and I shall not tell the place. There Is a steep bnnk Inside, and and that is where I "fell from. Ah, yes, it has been many years since I found the bright silver near the banks of the Elwah river. The Great Spirit of the caves and mountains led me to It, but he keeps it hidden from the white man." Old Hunter Sam has been dead long since, and his secret lies with him for no white man has yet found the hidden cave of treasure. The silver waters of the Elwha river still flows placidly on and the mountain peaks stand rugced, ns of yore; but the for est hn wrapped Its protecting arms around the unknown spot and time alone will tell whether the story of old Hunter S'am was a fact or mere tradition. BASER-ALL! BASFRALL! SI'NDW. APRIL 10 TWO O'CLOCK . PFA'DLETON VS. LA GRANDE MATLOCK PARK Farmers living near Valley Grove, this county, have signed contracts to have their wheat handled in the new farmers' warehouses and already over UOO.OOO worth of the 1908 crop has been pledged, says the Walla Walla Bulletin. The farmers have organ Iced a stock company to erect this warehouse, and similar action has been .taken at nine other points (n this .county. This move has been made because of ihe monopoly of the Pacific Coast Elevator company, which last fall raised the price of handling grain 60 per cent. Th prloe asked was 75 centa a ton for storage which the farmers ob jected te faying. The elevator com pany claimed that the cost of labor had increased so much recently that they were compelled to raise the price. The farmers then demonstrated by building a warehouse In Walla Walla that grain could be stored for 40 cents a ton and still leave a comfort, able profit. The Farmers' Union offered to buy the ompany warehouses, but too much money was wanted for them. and the farmers decided to build their own warehouses, and at a recent meeting 10 men were appointed In various parts of the county to start the movement The first reports received are from Valley Grove and there It Is said prac tically every farmer has agreed to store all his grain In the farmers' warehouse. Reports from 'other sections today are that the farmers are enthusiasti cally at work and that all the new warehouses will be given ample sup port to make them paying ventures. While the farmers are getting their grain stored at lower rates they will also break the monopoly. Owing to the fact that the Pacific Coast Elevator company has had an osoiute cinch on the grain It Is said that arbitrary methods were adopted nu tne farmers put to great Incon venience. This, however, will be changed. Read the East Oreconlan. For Style, w VjwsrcAusf I I ilOrt am m W M BOSTON STORE Solo Agents Where Trade to Save UNIFORM RANK TO BAKER.
