Doable Header Lost to Athena
The double header basketball game
at Athena last Friday night resulted
in a defeat for Hermiston.
The girl's game wag the fastest
and most exciting game of the sea
son. The score at the end of the first
half was 14-15 and a few minutes
before the end of the game Hermiston
was leading by 3 points. Although the
ball wag in the Hermiston territory
practically three-fourth of the time
the forwards seemed unable to put
It through the hoOp. A t this time
Margaret Neary, playing guard, was
disqualified for personal fouls and
Orrel Campbell was substituted. The
wakness this caused the team prob
ably accounts for the immediate rise
in Athena's score and their final vic
tory 21-18. The fight put up by the
Hermiston girls in the last game of
their season was commendable.
The girl's lineup wag as follows:
Forwards, Bensel, Sullivan: Guards
Addleman, Neary, Robinson, Me.
Naught; Substitutes, Campbell for
Neary.
The boys of Athena high seemed
to outplay the Hermiston boys In
every department of the game, and
the final score wa8 33-13.

WRONG IDEAS ABOUT ALASKA
Winters There Are Mild, Thermometer
In Region of Juneau Barely
Reaching Zero.
I met a family In Juneau, Alaska,
that had formerly resided in Cleve
land. I asked the indy of the house 11
it wasn't somewhat difficult to stand
the rigors of the northern climate,
writes Sherman Rogers In the Outlook.
She laughed outright
•‘Well," she answered, “we endured
Cleveland winters, and Juneau Is cer
tainly a- paradise compared with Cleve
land, either in winter or summer. We
have been north eight years In a ll;
spent five winters here, and three
hack home; the five years we have
lived here during the winter months
the thermometer has never reached
zero. Do you Imagine it takes a rig
orous person to stand such a climate?"
Thia was followed by peals of laugh
ter and further remarks about the
silly Ideas of people In the States re
garding the climate of Alaska.
Southeastern Alaska has an Oregon-
Washington climate, due to the Jap
anese current, which has the same ef
fect from Ketchikan to Cape Spencer
as It has on Puget sound, resulting In
very mild winters and extremely de
lightful summers. Very seldom. In the
last 20 years, has the thermometer
reached zero in this entire section.
The interior of Alaska, made famous
by exaggerating novelists, has a cli
mate closely duplicating Minnesota in
the winter, and Maine or Oregon In
summer.
