Maim and Third, Atbsha, Or. POKNE MAIN 83 Market affords in' i T-r . . WC BIG DEAL IN SPUDS D. B. Jarman Secures Seattle Buyer, Who Will Ship 30 Carloads of Mountain Potatoes. The true worth of mountain potatoes as compared with the thousands of tons of tbe irrigated variety that finds wey to market, has at last been recog nized by a discerning buyer of shrewd sagaoity and judgment L. L. lies, is the name of tbe buyer who has been looking for months for a flret class quality of potatoes for tbe Seattle market, and D. B. Jatmao, tbe well known Athena and Weston' merchant, is tbe man who has tbe honor of bringing buyer and seller to gether, and thereby establishing a per manent market for future mountain potato crops. For several days,. Mr. Jarman has been riding with Mr. lies, introducing bim to potato raisers, and tbe result is that the Seattle buyer has purohased about 80 carloads, practically all tbat remains of last year's crop at an ad vance of from 2 to 3 per ton over the price paid during the last month. This big shipment is to be delivered in Athena at once, orders for oars hav ing been plaoed with tbe Nortnern Paoiflo company at this point. This is tbe largest shipment of potatoes ever made from a point in the Inland Em pire, except the record breaker of 50 carloads from North Yakima. Pre vious to this big shipment, 15 carloads have been shipped this season from Athena, over the Northern Pacific. Mr. lies says the mountain potatoes is the stock be has always wanted, and did not know of tbe superb quality uutil be beoame interested through Mr. Jarman's efforts. He says tbe mountain ranobers are a splendid class of people to transact business with, and he says tbat hereafter they will have a regular market for.their.nrn duce, including their Yarge crops of hay, for he is in a position to handle all they have to sell, and he will pay tbe highest prices possible. Mr. lies is authority for tbe state ment that 15 carloads of potatoes are consumed each day in the traffioof tbe Sound markets. Of this huge amount, Seattle alone consumes 6 carloads, Ta comu 4, tbe other 5 carloads being distributed about equally iu surround ing towns and cities. "SH1R0CKS1ME SELECTED Dudley's Hibernians Scalped Sunday to the Tune of 15 to 4. No, Susie dear, there is nothing in a name a base ball name anyway. Dean Dudley's orauk amateur ball tossers were christened the "Sham rooks" by an admiring fan, green suits with red trimmings selected, and tbe band bills announced tbat Walla Walla was the particular team tbe Irishmen wanted to gather at a wake. Tbe wake was pulled off all right all right and when tbe undertaker rang up the last score it was the 15th one for Walla Walla's side of tbe register, while tbe Shamrooks totaled a 5 spot. And it was a glorious day for base ball too. No, Sue, it was not tbe name, and no boodoo clung to tbe Athena banner. Just one of those off days, you know, when certain things happen tbat cause players to resolve all sorts of resolutions, and are afterwards found camped on the diamond, practicing to beat tbe band. Every kid in tbe tunob has called at tbe Press office and registered a promise with the old man tbat it will never happen again. And, Sue, it wont. The Athena opera bouse was deoo rated and frisked up in green and red Thursday night, and a large number of young people attended a benefit ball, given for the Shamrooks. An enjoyable evening was spent by all present, tbe music was good, and a tidy little sum was netted the ball players. Tbe pro ceeds will be used to pay for the new suits. Detective Fee Drowned.

Austin Foss, artistic window deco rator, has employed a local stunt in connection with a realistic fishing scene in one of C. A. Barrett & Go's, show windows. A miniature tent is placed in the background, surrounded by a green sward and in the foreground likely images of three looal fishermen, Plamondon, Boyd aud Kemp, recline in suggestive, bibulous positions. A small bottle of "booze" prominently exhibited, emphasizes in a mute but striking manner the brilliant and original idea of tbe arhst. Boyd, tbe real fisherman of the bunch, lies in close proximity to the bottle, while Plamondon has the appearance of hav ing been unable to reaoh tbe tent door. Kemp is laboriously supporting a tent rope, and seemingly tbe rope is all that be needs.
