Pendleton High Quintet
Plays Athena Tonight
The first scholastic basketball game
of the season will be played tonight
on the local court when the Buck-
aroos of Pendleton high school, clash
with Athena high ' school. Eddie
Buck of Walla Walla, will referee the
contest.
The Pendleton hoopers are said to
be lined up for victory this season,
having been diligently coached in pre
season workouts with that object in
view. There is practically no line
here on the prowess of the visiting
team, and until it unbundles its plays
tonight the Buckaroo athletic ability
is necessarily an unknown quality to
Athena basketball fans. .
In a practice game Friday night
with Mac-Hi Alumni members of
her former championship team, "Pike"
Miller's proteges did not play an im
pressive game, it was not untu me
second half that the Athena offensive
began to click. Then the lead piled
up by the visitors in the first half be
gan to melt away with consistent
regularity. The Alumni s took the
contest 50-28. ,
Myrick and Thurber were the out
standing players for Athena, the
former scored 12 of the 28 points for
Athena, and Thurber was clever on
both offense and defense.. Miller sent
in everything he had, All the subs
and two freshmen were given action
in the game. Tonight, the freshmen
who are not on the squad will play
the graders in a curtain raiser, be
ginning at 7 :15.
It is expected that in tonight's
game Athena will be tuned up for
the fray and that a hot contest will
be witnessed by the fans.
John Hager Won Trophy
The prize fishing rod for -1929,
awarded by Rogers & Goodman, Ath
ena hardware dealers, for the largest
trout caught in the streams of Uma
tilla county, was won by John Hager,
of Gibbon, who brought in a 22 inch
Dolly Varden trout which he caught
on Mill Creek in the northeast corner
of the county. Hager's prize trout
was longer in measurement by of
an inch than the 21 inch Rainbow,
hooked by Herb Parker in the Uma
tilla river, and entered by him in
the contest for the prize rod.
Family Given Lodging
A man, his wife and four small
children became stranded in Athena
Tuesday night during a rain storm,
while en route td Walla Walla. The
authorities furnished food, for the
family and provided lodging In the
city hall. They had cooking utensils
and bedding. Wednesday morning
they proceeded to Walla Walla In
their car.

A General Heavy Rain
Ends Northwest Drought
Commencing Sunday morning and
continuing well into the week a gen
eral rainfall over the Pacific North
west ended a devastating drought ex
tending over a. period of more than
five months. Sunday's rainfall was
the heaviest since December, 1928.
Portland and vicinity experienced the
heaviest precipitation Sunday, when
1.32 inches fell in 12 hours. ' '
A number of heavy showers cf
varied duration followed Sunday's all
day down pour throughout Eastern
Oregon, with the result that dubious
crop prospects have been turned into
almost a degree of certainty so fur as
moisture for starting seed growth is
concerned.
Of course there is still an element
of speculation to be considered in the
status of grain sown in dry ground
several weeks ago. Whether or not
the seed germ in some instances will
be revived by the advent of moisture
in the light land districts remains to
be seen.
In the heavier Boil localities the
advance of fall sown grain is to be
noted on every hand In various stages
of growth. There is a Universal un
eveness in the growth of grain a? the
result of lack of moisture at seeding
time, which does not occur under
conditions of normal precipitation.
A light fall of snow is reported in
the mountains. Where the Old Ore
gon Trail crosses the summit south
of Athena, road crews are stationed
to keep the highway open.
Bazaar and Dinner Suc
cess, Saturday Evening
The annual bazaar and dinner given
by the ladies in the Christian church
basement Saturday evening ' was a
success in every; particular.
The dinner was excellent and de
lightfully, served to a crowd whose
numbers required that the long tables
be set thrice. Socially, too, the big
event was all that could be desired.
From the dinner and the booths the
church ladies realized a total of near
ly $125. This amount does not in
clude the proceeds for the sale by
auction of the beautiful "Friendship"
quilt, which was bid in for $20 joint
ly, by Arthur Douglas and Laurence
Pinkerton. This sum of $20, added
to $50 which had already been real
ized for names, brought receipts for
the quilt up to $70,
The ladies worked bard to make the
event a successful one, and their
hopes were certainly realized. They
appreciate the liberal patronage and
are very grateful to the public.
New Equipment
New equipment recently received at
the highway maintenance plant in
Athena includes a big, powerful
truck, equipped with the latest model
plow for removal of snow and snow
blockades on the highway. Snow
fences are in place along the exposed
areas in the vicinity of Athena, Wes
ton and Adams and necessary pre
cautions have been taken by the local
highway crew to keep the highway
open for traffic in event of heavy
snowfall, ,';v,' ' '-'
Hunter Bags 5 Cougars;
Ends 30 Years Service
Over In Curry County
In keeping with a lifetime of cougar
hunting through the underbrush of
southwestern Oregon, the farewell
gesture of taciturn Elmer Miller last
week was particularly proper and
spectacular, says the Oregonian. He
left a lasting expression of his
prowess on the eve of his resignation
as a predatory animal hunter after
serving in that capacity in Curry
county for almost 30 years, when he
bagged five of the wily cats, killing
three in one day. ;. ? -.'And
it was ElmSr Miller, famed for
his endurance and uncanny skill n
killing mountain lions, who furnished
the highlights of the month's work of
the predatory animal division of the
biological !,uiv..; It was an unusual
month, the best November in the 13
years history of the division, ac
cording to the report by Stanley G.
Jewett, leader, but Miller's work was
more astonishing than the fine re
sults .as a whole.
The 13th of the month brought luck
to Miller in November, for it was on
that day that he killed three in a row.
"Left my ranch for Oak Grove at
7 o'clock in the morning," his suc
cinct but expressive report ran.
"Rover picked up cougar trail and
treed female. Prince treed female.
Ring and Rover treed cougar.".
That's all there was to his report
for that day, but between the lines
was a world of hunting lore. He didn't
write much about the killing and
seems to- have given all the credit to
his dogs; he didn't write about the
hours of jogging through the under
brush. He didn't write about the kill
ing chase up the sides of steep ra
vines. But all those things were in
every one of those chases. It's a swift
cougar that gets away from Miller,
says Jewett. 1
When Prince, Ring or Rover, train
ed fox hounds who eschew the scent
of deer, hit the fresh trail of a cougar
and bay away through the brush at
a fast clip. Elmer Miller settles down
to a ground-covering jog and keeps as
near to them as he can. The chase,
with the cougar bounding toward the
thickest underbrush of the district,
may last for three miles of 15 miles,
but Miller, never weakens, That'.
why he has good dogs; he's always
there for the kill when the cat is
treed.
The pace is so tiring over the hills
and brush and logs, that a man in
poor condition would wilt after the
first quarter mile; not so with Miller,
since his results show that he has not
been dropped behind.
Thrilling Leap From De- ;
Dartinsr Shin Is Taken Rv
An Athena "Landlubber"
During a recent business trip to
Portland, R. B. McEwen had the
pleasure and privilege of going
through a big Oriental freighter
which was taking cargo at one of
the docks in the port. s ,
The big ship was inspected fore and
aft and from pit to dome. The vis
itor traversed long corridors, the
guide leading him down , narrow
stairways to the engine room where
the heat from the boilers was almost
unbearable, and finally aloft to the
captain's quarters and the wireless
room. Of course this department was
more than interesting and at this
point the guide departed for parts un
known.
Deep in explanations and discrip-
tions of the myteries of the radio,
the visitor was unconscious of the
passing of time when suddenly a
thundering boom from the deep
throated whistle, and clanging of
signals, announced the departure of
the vessel.
Filled with panic and spurred by
the "hurry off" of the operator. R. B.
j began scaling the ladder to points be
low and dashing to the deck saw the
prow swinging out' into the stream.
A big burly deck hand, called out,
"What the h are you doing here."
The answer, "Not what I'm doing but
how am I going to get off." The
distance was slowly but surely widen
ing when some one on the wharf
threw a couple of two by fours across
the hundred foot chasm yawning be
low. Like a drowning man grasping
a straw the "land lubber" spanned
the strips, miles an hour just as the
last hawser was loosened. The deck
hand was still snarling disgusted
nothings and a longshoreman just as
hard boiled shouted, "Oh, go elimb a
mast," while Ralph heaved a sigh of
relief and made tracks for the Inland
Empire.

Supply Of Special Air
Mail Christmas Stickers
Postmaster-Barrett announces that
ha. has received a supply of special
air mail Christmas stickers intended
to be used on all Christmas mail in
tended for air mail dispatch: and bear
ing the necessary postage. These
stickers, the postmaster explains, are
distributed to post offices in order
that the public might have some dis
tinctive marking for their air .mail
messages. Their use not only adds
the desired distinctiveness for holiday
mail, but they also greatly assist
postal clerks to segregate air mail
from regular mail,- thereby avoiding
delays and misrouting. . Air mail re
ceives special handling at all post of-
hces and it is therefore quite import
ant that all air letters be easily
recognized by clerks.
The postmaster points out that the
stickers may be obtained at the post
office without cost They are free to
mailers and should be placed on the
addressed side of envelopes or cards
intended for air mail dispatch and
should not be UBed for ordinary mail.
Practically all styles of Christmas
greeting cards, including the custom
ary envelopes, may be carried by air
mail to any point in the United States
for 5 cents. Air mail may also be
sent to Europe, Mexico, Eastern
Canada and South America.

LIKE MURDERER
Charles Hunt Is Sentenced
For Manslaughter On
Guilty Plea.
Olympia A drunken driver was
likened to a "murderer" when Charles
H.- Hunt, 27 years old, pleaded guilty
to a double charge of manslaughter
and was sentenced to a term of two
to five years in the state penitenitary.
Superior Judge John M. Wilson, in
whose courtroom Hunt was sentenced,
told the defendant that in his opinion
an intoxicated person who drives an
automobile on the streets and high
ways and becomes involved in an ac
cident in which lives are lost is as
"much a murderer as a man who
wildly shoots into a passing crowd on
the street and kills." ,
The manslaughter charges were filed
against Hunt on November 19, four
days after the automobile he was
driving struck and killed Maxine Hall
and Cattie. Richardson, Chehalis high
school girls, after they had stepped
from a car parked near the Pacific
highway two and a half miles south
of Tenino in Thurston county.
Hunt was also fined five dollars
each on charges of drunken and reck
less driving.
In the complaint, filed by pros
ecutor W. J. Milroy, Hunt was ac
cused of driving the automobile which
struck the two girls at a terrific rate ,
of speed. Bottles containing liquor.
one of them denatured alcohol, were
found in the machine, the complaint
charged.
The machine Hunt was driving was
identified as one belonging to a Seat
tle man.'

which is to provide the best possible
telephone service at a cost as low as
is consistent with financial safety.

ing service, commonly known as the
change of name charge, will be elimin
ated.
