Koenig will enter the dashes. Hutted the dah and broad jump. Maddux the weight. Weaver the hurdles and Van Petten the half mile. It will be remembered that Van Petten won the half mile in the track meet here witn Payette two weeks ago. The boys are in good training and feel confident of bringing home some honors for the Ontario school. The winners of this meet will go to the meet at the uni versity in the near future. Twenty-eight high schools of east ern Oregon are expected to partici pate in the 10th annual Eastern Ore gon Interscholastic which will be staged in La Crande next Saturday, May 8, says the l.u Grande Observer. Those invited, and majority are ex pected to send representatives to either the scholastic meet or the orat orical contest that night, include: Ad ams, Athena, Baker, Canyon City, Cove, Elgin, Enterprise, Haines, Hun tington, Heppner, lmbler, Joseph, La Grande, Lostine, Milton, North Pow der, Nyssa, Ontario, Pendleton, Prine ville, Sumpter, Union, Vale, Wallowa, Condon, Fossil, Hermiston and Bend. Fully 125 entries are expected, in com parison with the Eugene interschol astic which usually has about 100. Silver loving cups will be awarded to the winners of the first place, a new venture, in that medals have al ways been given in the past. Silver medals will be awarded for the sec onds and bronze medals for thirds. This has been given by merchants of La Grande. The half mile fairground track, re ported to be one of the fastest in the state when conditions are favorable, will be used and that the 2000-person capacity grandstand will be taxed id indicated from the fact that special coaches are being ordered from both east, west and north. The annual Eastern Oregon orator ical contest will itself draw a big at tendance, and will be held that night. With favorable weather, it is pre- MISS BROSMAN GOES TO BIG CELEBRATION Miaa Maud Brotmln, who was se--lected by the Ontario Commercial club to represent the Malheur river at the dedication of the Celilo canal, left Tuesday morning. A series of formal festivities has been arranged for the principal towns along the Columbia river and its principal tributary the Snake. The climax of these events will be reached Wednesday afternoon at Big Eddy where the great waterway will be ded icated and the canal formally opened to traffic. An interesting ceremony in connec tion with the dedication at the Big Eddy will be performed by a group of pretty girls, each representing a river tributary to the Columbia. Two of them will serve the Columbia it self. Each will bear a bottle of wa-ti-r from the river that she repre-' sents and as the dedicatory words are spoken she will pour the fluid into t the head channel of the canal, typify-1 ing the union of the Columbia and its tributaries. Robert Maddox, connected with the Malheur Telephone company, has taken charge of the Farley rooms. Mr. Maddox opened up for business the first of May. dieted that several records are going to be stretched, for competition is go ing to be extremely keen. All the high schools are tutoring sprinters to beat Conkey of La Grande and the youngster may have to put new speed in his legs to win. He swept the sprints a year ago. Judging from the entries that are already in, each contest will be well filled. Archie Hohn, Michigan sprinter and of late athletic director at Whitman, will officiate as starter and referee. Charles Reynolds, O. A. C. athlete, and now physical director of La Grande high, will attend to the busi ness management of the meet and has already given a tremendous amount of time to it with the result that every iota of detail will have had careful attention. CORN COMMITTEE WANTS CO-OPERATION Through the columns of the Argus the Grange Corn Committee is mak ing a strong appeal this week for the co-operation of all the farmers of the county to make the corn show this fall a great success. The communica tion is in the form of an open letter and follows: To the Farmers of Malheur County: The "Grange Corn Committee" makes this appeal to the farmers of Malheaur county, and ask every pa per in the county to publish it. We ask every farmer in Malheur county to enter the corn contest. It makes no difference whether you ex pect to win a premium or not, though of course that is an obje. t to strive for. The real object is to show the outside world that it is a widespread , i a : .L.:.. AMaH . i m I . . .i Vi. industry in una mumj uiki ' " . back yard hobby of a few promoters. You can readily see that if a hun dred farmers enter this contest, and make an average yield of 80 bushels, that it will mean much more than if only ten fanners entered it and have a high average yield of 100 bushels or more. It will mean little or noth ing if only a few picked ones enter this contest, for it will not show prog ress. Now, fellow farmers, the committee cannot carry on this contest alone. "The Grange Corn Committee' and the "County Agriculturist" will give every assistance possible, but it is up to the farmers to enter the contest and grow the corn. Farmers, this is our contest, and if we will show as much public spirit in this work as the press of our county has done, we will make a sure enough "Inter Mountain Corn Belt," and a wonderful addition la the resources of our county. If farmers can plant corn as late as June 1, and make a good crop, we want to know it, and so we extend the time to that date for entering the con test. "CORN COMMITTEE."

Scores of gllluetlers were on the river ttaturday and the entire bay from the bar up was dotted with boat as a result of tin opening of the irtu risking season at noon. All fishing was stopped at o'clock on accouut of the Sunday closing law Some fairly good hauls were made by those fortunate enough to run across the little bum hes of salmon playing about in the lower river. TtiU week Quite a number of traps and seines began operations and by the middle of the month probably more gear will be in the water than for years so aarly in Ue season.

" "'Xi ' mattress so easy M q . liSs V to turn as the M q VF IV Slumberite." f ? i Turning a mattress is easy if it's a Slumberite. A woman need not be strong to move it, because it is fitted with handles. Two of these handles are sewn firmly into the edges on each side, just far edough apart to reach comfortably. Each handle is wida enough to give the hand a good grip. The 52 pounds of pure, elastic cotton in this mattress seems like 35 pounds the handles help so much.
