Saving at the Spigot Wasting at the Bung" That's what buying poor paint means. Paint may be low priced by the gallon and be extravagant to use owing to to it's poor covering power and wearing quality. After the paint is applied it's too late to save. Start right and use The Sherwin-Williams Paint MADE TO PAINT BUILDINGS WITH, OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. It covers more surface, spreads easier, and lasts longer than any other prepared paint, or hand-mixed lead and oil. THE TUM-A-LUM LUMBER GO.

Johnson, Manager Athena, Oregon With the defeat of Weston Sunday, the 1911 pennant of the Blue Moun tain league was won by Billy Little john'a fleet bunuh of Millers, and the Athena team could lose totb of the remaining games on the schedule and still be in the lead of the Garden City Bears by several points. Sunday's oontest resolved itself into a oarnage, when "Slats" Wheeler, Weston's premier twirler from the weeping willows of Col. Wood's back vard, mounted the mound and essayed the twirling stunt. He essayed just two thirds of the Brat inning, during which essay eleven Athena batters faoed him, "slatted" him lor five juicy . bingles, two of 'em 2-ply smashes, added to whiob was a gen erous oontribution of four errors by bis infield support. The entire mess netted the Millers seven tallies. After every man on the team had faced him and Pioard started the second round with a single, Wheeler "slat ted" Lienallen in the ribs. 'Twas then that be discovered that he had been knocked ont of the box, and with out any coaxing gave way to Newt O'Harra. The boy from Pea Ridge allowed nine hits, scattering them until the sixth and seventh, when the Millers found bim in bunohes. Weston really looked dangerous in the first. Keefe beat out an infield tap that everybody expected would roll foul. Cox went safe on Frink's error, Keefe going to second. Things looked good to Bill Nordean, who rapped out a liner that stuok on first baseman Gilbert's mitt He touobed the base for a double and whipped the ball down to Pioard at second, wbeie Keefe was scrambling to get baoK. The throw was not perfeot, the ball just tipping Jesse's mitt and pulling bim off the bas. A. Nordean made the third out, and the danger was over. Then tbe fusilade commenced and the Millers took their seven "slats"' out of Wheeler. Pioard was safe when Johnnie Barnes muffed bis fly out in right, and Lieuallen ambled to tbe first station on a fielder's cboioe, I Pioard taking seoond on Blomgren's error. Frink came through with a saorifloe, advanoing both men. Brown was safe after Minniok bad gotten bold of tbe ball and held to it. Then Pelland soored Pioard and Lieuallen with a two-base swat, and Winn fol lowed with a gloriously timed single whiob brongnt in Brown and Pelland. Gilbert flew out to Bill Nordean and Bundy singled and went to second on an error by Cox. Owens, following recent precedents, soored bim by olout ing tbe ball for two bases. Then Pio ard faced Wheeler for tbe seoond time in tbe inning and laoed out a single, advanoing Owens to third, from where he later soored on a passed ball. Lienallen followed Pioard and was pasted in tbe ribs by one of Wheeler's slants. Then Wheeler strolled to tbe benob and O'Harra took tbe box. Frink went out, ending tbe batfest. Owens brought in his seooad run in the third, fle singled after Bundy bad struok out. Picard saorifloed bim to seoond. Lieuallen soored bim with a two-base wallop. Gilbert soored in tbe fourth when be singled, stole seo ond and crossed tbe platter on Bandy's single. Frink and Brown found O' Harra tor singles in the sixth. Pelland lined out to Minniok. Winn struok out. Gilbert was safe jttotk.

Captain Brown's whip was working with unerring aoomaoy and he oaught the redoubtable Keefe. who was the only Cbamp that endeavored to pur loin tbe seoond cushion. He and Pio ard pulled off the seoond base throw with rnnner playing off toward third, Al Nordean being tbe victim. The only opportunity for a triple play on tbe borne grounds this season oame up in the first inning, Gilbert naught a liner, touched the bag for a double and whipped tbe ball to Pioard at seoond with Keefe running bank Tbe throw was a little high and to oue side, just tipping Jesse's mitt, and Keefe was safe. Brown was unlucky in his bingles. Meeting tbe ball square on tbe nose, be transported into a waiting fielder's hands. Tbe pennant is ours, with two games remaining on tbe sobedule. We oonld lose both and still lead tbe Bears. Pendleton plays at Weston Sunday, Milton at Walla Walla and tbe Mill ers lay off. Frink pitched a good game and was in trouble only in the first inning. Gilbert's unassisted double took tbe staroh ont of Weston's prospeots, bow- ever, and tbe remaining three bits be allowed were as soattered as simoleons after a pionio. Colo u el Wood witnessed tbe slaugh ter and remarked that "Weston wonld have a 'earn strong enough to beat Athena next year if he had to play himself."

Tbe following article clipped from tbe Twin Falls News of June 15. will be of interest to local people as tbe prinoipal in it formerly lived in this vicinity: Thomas A.

Swaggart has shipped inteoted hogs to Oregon Agri oultoral College for the purpose of se curing cholera sernm. Dr. Lytle, state veterinarian, was at tbe Swaggart place last week and is working with Mr. Swaggart iu the effort to And a remedy for tbe disease, In order that tbe farmers whom he has not seen personally. Tay know bow to prooeod, Dr. Lytle cites the following articles to them : Tbe Ne braska experiment station in a bulle tin states the following "Carcasses of hogs whiob have died from cholera should be at onoe burned or buried deeply and covered with quicklime. Separate the siok bogs aud divide the well bogs into two or more groups and separate them as widely as practicable. As the germs of cholera gain aooess to tbe system through the digestive tract tbe line of prevention is well marked. All feed and drinking troughs should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfeotnd. (Illinois Sheet Metal Works, Busbnell, 111., make a splendid metal bog trough and Minors Disinfectant of Cleveland, O., are artioles to be thoroughly rec ommended.) If tbe troughs are of metal, holding them over a blaze will be effective. Streams that do not rise on tbe borne farm should be suspected as a possible carrier of iufeotion aud for this reason water from wells should be given. Feed spuriugly. Where bog cholera serum is used, tbe bogs should remain in tbe infected yardB." Tbe U. S. Bureau of au'inal indus try in a bulletin stated: "Treatment is not always eulisfaotory prevention of an outbreak should tie relied upon, rather than tbe oure of siok animals. The following formula has been suc cessful in lees virulent outbreaks when properly administered as soon as signs of sickness are sbowi,: Wood char coul, 1 pound; snlpbur 1, pound; Bod- ium chloride, 2 pounds; sodium bi carbonate, 2 pounds; .sodium hypo sulpbate, 2 pounds; sodium sulphate, 1 pound; antimony sulphide, (blaok antimony) 1 pound. These ingred ients should be completely pulverized and thoroughly mixed. In oase of profuse diarrhoea tbe sulphate of sod ium may be omitted. A large table spoonful once a day for eaob of two hundred of liveweigbt bogs to be treated is a dose. Tbe medicine should be thoroughly mixed with feed which should be soft made of bran aud mid dlings, corn meal, and ground and sifted oafs or ciusbed wheat mixed with hot water. If tbe hogs are too siok to come to tbe feed tbey should be drenobed by pulling tbe rbeuk away from the teeth aud pouring tbe medicine in slowly care should be exerois)d as bogs are easily suffocated by drenohing. Do not turn a bog on its baok to dreucb it." The District Fair, The direotors of tbe Third Eastern Oregon Distriot Fair Association have begun actively on a campaign for a "bigger and better" show during fair wees this year, whiob begins on Sep tember 11 and tbey are adopting a number of new plans for arousing in terest in the fair and for stimulating tbe farmers to beoome exhibitors. One of these plans whiob has just been an nounced by Seoretary 1 homes Fitzger aid, is that of presenting diplomas for tbe best aud largest displays of differ ent farm products, which diplomas will be in addition to any regular premiums wbioh will be awarded to exhibits or any parts of exhibits. Kennewick Tobacco. Xobaoco oulture on a large scale is to be attempted in tbe vioinity of Ken newick. A man who has had consid erable experience in this form of soil culture iu Keutuoky expeots to trans plant tbe "weed" to tbe Northwest. Investigations made for some time past lead to tbe belief that a high grade leaf tobaoco can be produced. A colony ct negroes will be brought from tbe south to tend tbe plants. If this crop can be added to tbe possi bilities, it will be another important Eouroe of revenue. Wild tcbaooo is already found thereabouts. Two New Offices.
