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

Behind your telephone service is the "plant"
a complicated mechanical equipment of
poles, cables, wires, switchboards, instruments,
etc., carefully adjusted and absolutely depend
ent on perfect construction and maintenance.
The "plant" is constantly subject to accident
and outside interference. Storms, fires, the
carelessness of workmen, the pranks of children,
concealed defects of material all play their
part.
The telephone company maintains a skilled
force whose sole duty is to quickly restore serv
ice interrupted from any cause. Your lines are
constantly watched and tested.
In the case of trouble we are generally the
first to know it, but a notification to our Com
plaint Department when there is anything
wrong will be appreciated. t
ALFALFA HAY AT $23
Scarcity of feed has made itself
fe in this locality, and particularly
bo on the mountain, where the long
(winter has left the farmers with lit
tle or no lorage lor ineir an siock.
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. Under this
"top dressing" there was about five i
feet of old and well-packed snow.
