ATHENA HIGH DEFEATS HELIX BY SCORE OF 4 TO 3 The pitching of Kretzer, Si Hod gen's fielding and a home run by Shirk were the features of the Athena-Helix high school game, Wednes day afternoon, Athena winning 4 to 3. Lop-3ided support given Kretzer in the first inning, gave Helix her three runs on three errors and one hit. Af ter that Kretzer tightened up when hits meant runs. In the fourth, with none down and runners on second and third, "Lefty" fanned three He lix batters in a row. Hodgen put up a fine exhibition of fielding in the left garden. Harden held first, releasing Kretzer, and the combination worked to advantage. After the first inning, Athena set tled and working up from behind, scored two in her half of the second. Athena tied the score in the sixth when Shick busted out his swat for four bases, and in the ninth Banister singled, stole second and scored on a two-base hit by Kretzer.

"Uncle Ben," as he was known, came west with his parents. Peter S. and Mar tha J. Walden, in i852. The family settled in Linn county, coming to Umatilla county in 1869. They lived one year near Pilot Rock and then settled on Drv creek near Weston, which had ever since been the home of the deceased. "Uncle Ben" won many friends because of his kindly qualities. He wa3 twice married, both helpmeets preceding him to the grave. He is survived by one son, George Walden of Portland, and by one brother and two 3isters Thos. Walden of Pilot Rock, Mrs. Mary Phipps of Antelope, Oregon, and Mia. Nancy Case of Spokane. In terment was mad j at Pendleton.

The advent of spring weather this week, however, has greatly relieved the situation. A resident of Reed and Hawley mountain, Tom Booher, says that spring is none too early in coming, as people in his neighbor hood hadn t seen the ground for hve and one-half months. Feed has ad vanced in price to such an extent that baled alfalfa retails locally at $23 per ton. What remains in the Hudson Bay country is held by the growers, it is said, at $20 per ton. This would entail a higher local fig ure were it not for the fact that the dealers are offering stocks which were bought at a lesser price than is now quoted by the growers. GRAIN DEALER IN TROUBLE Bert Owsley, of the independent wheat buying firm of Owsley & Case, Walla Walla, is in difficulties over an alleged crooked deal in wheat involv ing about nine thousand sacks be longing to a big Eureka Flat grower. The story goes that with the collu sion of a warehouseman Owsley was able to dispose of the wheat to the Kerr-Gifford Co. and pocket the mon ey, without the owner's knowledge. Owsley and his confederate are also accused of an abortive attempt to burn a warehouse in order to better conceal their crooked deal. Owsley is under bonds of $5000 to appear for trial. His partner, William Case, a son of W. H. Case of Weston, is ab solved from any knowledge of or any connection with the alleged theft. "U PLENTY SNOW AT Mill, I fSPuring the slight snowstorm which hurtle its appearance last Saturday ; In the lowlands, no less than four teen inches of fresh snow fell at the Blue Mountain sawmill on Weston mountain, twelve miles east of Wes ton, according to Will Beathe, who was a recent visitor to the mill and made measurements.
