AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER Six and Eight Pages Every Friday. B.Boyd, Pcblisuek. Application for entrance as 2nd class matter made on July 5, 1907 at the poKtotnce at Athena, Oregon Under an Actot Congress of March 3. 1878 cATHENA. ORE., JULY 7 1911 The whole truth of tbe matter is that tbe ninth inning rally at Pendle ton Sunday was too ranch for Pen dleton sportsmanship, and tbe usual Pendleton spirit cropped ont tbe spir it of going out and getting it, no mat tnr what the manner, method or means employed just get it. The method by which Pendleton grabbed the game is tbe rottenest in base ball history. It is the first game on record wherein tbe scorer, usurping the au tboiity of the umpire, renders a decis ion that oarries viototy with it. And that is not all. In this instance, the umpire claims to have not seen tbe play in question, but was so spineless and weak-kneed that he permitted the soorer, who, according to a Pendleton paper, "was tacked in bis deoiaion unanimously by the Pendleton fans who had seen the play at tbe plate." And this is organized(?) base ball, in a league presided over by no Jess a personage than L. Q. Frazier, premier advocate of olean sports and, ; if yon please, a resident of Pendleton. To cap tbe climax, tho Pendleton Live Wire smears this plaoating lubricant over the report of tbe game: "Athena made a loud yell, but, considering tbe exoitemeut and the olosenoss of tbe decision, they had one coming and, with one or two exceptions, accepted the outcome liko true sports." True sports! Atbeuu sportsmen would like I the follow who wrote that to publish a definition oi the term he bandies bo recklessly and so at varianoe with tbe truth. Every person from Athena, aud dozens of impartial visitors at the game, inoluding traveling men, de clare the game was palpably and braz enly stolen. When it comes to base ball, true sportsmanship prevails in Athena, where more money and inter est is expended on tbe national game than in any other town of its size on tbe Paoiflo slope. Good losers, every mother's son of them, they know tbe game and they know when they are being robbed. They look upon the outoome uf Sunday's name with such disfavor that they feel tbe esoutcheon upon tbe pendant won by their team has been tarnished, and the honor of winniug it descends to barren mock ery. That the government means business in sottling tbe controversies with re gard to the Alaska ooal Holds is indi cated by the fact that a small army of special ngeuts has beon in Senttle lot some time gathoring information. The most of them will go North next mouth to gather information. Secre tary of tbe Iutorior Fisher has said that the matter will not be held up any longer than is absolutely neoes Hiiry. Alaskans all want somotbing done. If there is fraud in couueotion with any ooal filing, they want It wiped out; but those that are regular, they say, should be passed to patent. Should tbe ooal luuds bo oponod the Copper Kiver aud Northwestern Kail road is reudy to embark upon large improvemeuts aud important extensions. Ill a WHHtiiiiton state ease, the su piome court holds that when a uiauag er employs a boy under 14 years of age contrary to law, thut bo assumes all the risk eveu if the father does say that tbe boy is ovor sixteen. The supremo court in awardiug dnuiagex iu tho sum of sfSfiOO for tho Iobh of the boy's right baud, lays down the princ ipal thut the employer of lutor must assume all responsibility for the age of his workers the same as liquor deal ers must UHSume all responsibility when they sell intoxicants to a miuor.

AN UNEASY SKELETON. It Had a Lively Time Until It Final Burial Ceremony. "Speaking of final resting places," said Ike Puree!! the other day, "an Indian buried at Wakeeney has earned his. lie was the first Indian killed In tbe last Indian raid In Kansas. The raid was pulled off by IHO Sioux In dians, and a good many settlers were killed, considerable property was burn ed and hundreds of horses and cattle were stampeded. The Indians came within n few miles of Wnkeene.v. when a part of a cavalry regiment from old Fort Hayes met them. Tbe Indians fled, but were forced to a stand over In the edge of Rush county. "The history of the chase Is Inter esting. Every Indian In the band was killed. TIih subject of this Hem tum bled olT lii pony near Wakeeney nnd rolled Into n ditch. Ills body was not found for several months, and by that time nothing was left but a skeleton. Tbe men who found tbe skeleton wired the bones together and tied It to a post on the nubile road, with a label tell lug that It was tbe first Indian killed in tbe last raid. etc. Complaint was made about the grewsome spectacle, so the county board ordered the skele ton buried in the cemetery. To cele brate the fact I hat civilization had come to stay speeches were made at the grave of this the first Indian killed in the last raid. etc. "Later some 'fellers' got full, dug up the skeleton, dressed It in store clothes and had fun with it. They hired a liveryman to take their 'friend' home, and when tbe driver found what he hud in the seat with him he yelled mightily and Jumped out of the buggy. The team run away, spilling tbe Indian In a park where an Ice cream festival was in progress. The skeleton was again burled with ceremony, being the first Indian killed In the lust raid. etc. Lo was permitted to repose about a year, when another bunch of rounders disinterred the skeleton, redressed it nnd shocked sensitive citizens with a moonliiibt lynching, shooting at the danirllnc tisure and all that sort of thing. Officers cut the 'corpse' down, nnd then the gang that was wise to the Joke indulged In a merry ha-ha. For the third time the skeleton was buried with more speechifying. After that the skeleton was not disturbed, and the good people of Wakeeney hope that it has found its final resting place." Kansas City Journal. Stage Steeds. The steed Is always a difficulty In staging "Don Quixote." At the Thea tre de la Gaite, in Paris, the Roslnante in Massenet's opera grew so fat under the light work and good food that it was found necessary to "paint pro truding ribs on his rotund sides every night" lrving'a ditliculty in London was in tbe other direction.

Two Fatal Mistakes. Marie Antoinette, escaping from the Tuileries, turned to the right Instead of to the left after passing the inner arch. She lost .her way, lost time nnd by this means tost her own bend and the head of Louis XIV. So tbe story of Carlyle runs. Queen Draga of Servia meant to leave Belgrade, but waited for a going a way gown, being anxious that as a fugitive she should appear in becoming attire, it was a fatal delay. An Inexpensive Amusement. "Did you ever," said Belinda, "try standing cents on edge? It can be doue if the cents are not worn. They can most enslly be made to stand on blotting paper, but they will stand on a smooth, polished table. Try it some time when other amusemeuts flag." New York Sun.
