That it will be a game worth seeing, there is not the least doubt in the minds of the fans of both cities. Though Pendleton ended second in the race for the championship of the Blue Mountain league, no one believes for a minute that the Weston team is in the same class with, Pendleton. On the other band Walla Walla also has a good aggregation in Bade's Mix tures. The Garden city fans are anxious to duplicate last season's victories over the Pendleton aggregation and for that reason two extra coaches will be attached to the regular morn ing train in order to accommodate the excursion crowd which is coming over. Sturgis will probably be in the box for Pendleton, while Harlan will play short. Baker, the mighty sticker will hold down the first station, while Ward will be behind the bat and the remainder of the team will be about as usual.

The bulletin says. In vestigations by the former have prov ed that, through a more careful se lection of seeds for planting and bet ter methods of cultivation, the ma turing crop can be so hastened by the use of commercial fertilizers and cultural methods as to develop a large percentage of the crop before the weevil has so multiplied as to mate rially damage it.

A comparison- shows that every man, wo man and child In Prussia contributes on an average of 20 cents per year for the upkeep of the kaiser, which Is nearly three times as much as Eng land pays for the maintenance of her royal family, five times as much as the Russians pay for theirs and more than twice as much as the Aus trlans have to provide. Compared with these prices re publics are "dirt cheap," for the pres ident of France only costs each Frenchman a trifle over 1-2 cent a year, while Americans only pay about l-96th cent apiece for their president and expect to get a first-clans article, too. During a debate In the diet on the proposal to increase the kaiser's "civil list," otherwise his Income, Herr Hoffman analyzed the latter and made out that it amounted to 36 cents a second. To this principle, how ever, Herr Hoffman objected, com plaining that the wearer of the crown was often absent and suggested that the principle of "payment by attend ance," should be applied. This Idea of putting the kaiser "on piece work" so to speak, is a decidedly novel one. CARUSO GIVES 5000 FRANCES TO CHARITY Paris.

Ha mnrln llirht of his renerosltv: In. deed, he refused to talk about It. but there are several thousand poor waifs In Paris who bless his name and will never forget his kindness.
