Milton 9, Weston 4. in on With oceans of "pep" and chatter iog like a bnnob of magpies, Bade' Bears bagged a victory ont of Little jobn's Millers Sunday afternoon, the opening game of tbe Blue Mono tain Leagne schedule. fi nun tt oua UIUUUDU tUD OUJO Pelland's error at second, in Walla Walla's half of tbe fifth, when with tbe bases loaded and two down, be muffed an infield fly from Laukards bat. Before tbe tbird man could be tncked away, Walla Walla bad milled arcnnd tbe oironit four times tbe score standing 0 to 1. Despite tbe faot tbat a cold, raw wind was blowing dust into tbe faoes of tbe players, tbe game was of tbe snappy variety from start to flnisb. .. The Millers bad tbe distinction of putting np ber end of tbe game with out having been together before, going up against Walla Walla's six weeks practice edge and ooaobing from Mr. "Hunky" Shaw, but tbe ooys were in tbe game all tbe tme, and should bave won .5 to 3. However, errors like "pigs is pigs" count in tbe game when made at tbe rigbt time. The fans are pleased witb tbe show ing made by tbe Athena players and are banking on some good ball playing when tbe team gets intosbape. Brown oaught a good game, showing up a stunning good whip arm. Working at a disadvantage by having to throw against a stiff wind, he nipped the Walla Walla players at second easily, and gave, his pitchers all advantage possible. Pioard and Smith worked straight balls almost exclusively on aooount of tbe oold, and tbe best the Bears oonld do was to collect fonr bin gles off tbeir delivery. Tbe infleld showed up fast and tbe unanimous verdiot is tbat there will be nothing to it but a "stone wall" in a short time. Clark, at first base and Owens at short are speedy demons and are after everything tbat oomes tbeir way. DePeatt and Pelland were not up to tbe form of tbe others, but strenuous workouts should soon bring tbe kinks out. In tbe outfield Atbena has a "find" in Bundy. This warborse from tbe Dakota diamonds, is proving to be a Htioker from Stiokerville and is covering tbe center garden witb plenty of ginger. Tbe two Je Pioard and Smith, in rigbt let nothing get away from tbem and over in left, Lieualleu is delivering the goods. Bade introduced Hanson, tbe Ton ohefc Vikinc. on tbo monnd and tbe Millers gleaned six safe ones, one a two-baener. off his delivery. Athena scored in tbe seoond. After Brown flew out to left, Pioard was passed, be started to purloin second, and on Lankard'a wild heave to oatoh film, camped on third before tbe ball oould be relayed into the diamond, and scored on a passed ball. Walla Walla soored twioe in ner half of tbe tbird. Blaokman was safe at first, when DePeatt threw low to Clark, was sacrificed to seoond on Sea Christ's out, todk tbird on a wild pitob and soored on Beok's out, Brown to PeJland. Harman drew pass, stole seoond and soored on Bade's single. Both sides blanked in tbe fourth. In the fifth, an error, two pasnes, a muffed fly and a single, netted Walla Walla four runs. She soored one more in tbe sixth. Smith and DePeatt soored in tbe seventh and Pioard and Lieuallen brought two more over in tbe ninth. n this inning, witb Bundy at bat and Owens on seoond, Atbena bad a obance witb two men gone, to soore, tut tbe little shortstop in his anxiety to soore, attempted to steal tbird, overslid the bag and was tagged ont. Soore by Innings. Walal Walla, 0 0 2 0 4 10 0 Atbena 01000020 07 25 for You Alone If you have your clothes made to order, they look it from every view point.

T M IT (CM .WD Oil L Exciting Experience In West Afrioa With These Deadly Pests. The driver ants are a terrible pest in West Africa. Crawling over tbe ground in countless thousands, invincible to anything but a wall of fire, they bring quick death to every live thing unfor tunate enough to be caught in their path and leave behind tbem the skele tons of lizards, rats, sheep, cattle and even human beings. In bis book enti tled "We Two In West Africa" Major F. G. Guggisberg recounts the terrors of one night when the pests invaded his house: I heard voices calling, "Get up; the ants are on us!" Sitting bolt upright, 1 found the room apparently in dark ness. In reality the lantern on tbe floor at tbe foot of the bed was still burning, but as I threw my hand out and felt the heavy weight of tbe mos quito net I suddenly realized tbat it was coated witb ants so thickly that it kept tbe light out as effectively as a velvet curtain. Two bounds took me out of that mosquito net and tbe but. but it was an uncanny feeling when my feet crunched through the living carpet of ants. Hitting the side of the doorway in my hasty exit, I brought down a shower of the little pests on my head and shoulders from rafter, wall and roof, and then tbe fun began. Some people say that the ant buries his head in you and leaves it there, others that he drives some other part of his body into you. I didn't worry about examining which theory was correct. It did not affect the torture of the result. For the next ten min ues I was standing in a state of na ture in the open, tbe rain beating down and the boys, hastily roused, picking ants off my body by tbe light of torches. I was so engrossed in this new sport that I quite forgot about Lees; then I suddenly realized that he was not there. I won a moral V. C. by going Into that infernal place and hauling him out lie was a pitiable sight in the torchlight, his hair waving as If in a breeze as the ants crawled through it, his body black with them. To pick them off was too slow a Job. I seized a tin of kerosene oil and poured it over him, sweeping the en emy off in thousands. One of my ham mock boys rushed up with a flaming torch, meaning in the kindness of his heart to give master more light, I yelled to him to keep away, and be, thinking be was being urged on, rushed toward us quicker than ever. Luckily Lees' cook stopped him in time, and a tragedy was averted. We spent the remainder of the night under a tree. In spite of the discom fort of it all the persistent rain, the mist, the smarting pain of tbe ant bites we could not help laughing at the idea of our .helplessness against the little brutes that were occupying our comfortable huts. However, the only thing to do was to wait patiently, until they cleared out. whi'i .i'I'i'V lifoplp begin their success fiirt In failure. Edward Notice to Creditors.
