Clark, graduate of the Ore gon Agricultural College, In the class of 1907 has been chosen as a member of the Pendleton high school faculty and he will be the Instructor in the agricultural course that is to be ad ded to the curriculum of that schotJ. He was chosen to (he position at a meeting of the school board held sev eral days ago and the selection was made largely upon the recommenda tion of President W. J. Kerr of O. A. C. It is undestood that Mr. Clark will accept the post and will arrive here soon to enter upon hte duties in the high school. At the outset he will, teach other classes while the agricultural course is being organ ized. The decision to establish a course in agriculture at the high school was made by the school board last fall. However until the present time the board was unable to secure a compe tent instructor to take charge of the new department. In Mr. Clark, how ever, they feel they have a man who will fill the bill. Aside from his four years work at O. A. C. where he took the degree of bachelor of science Mr. Clark has also taken post graduate work and was for a time in charge of the experiment station at Union. Miss Eertha Eraden of Hillsdale, has been chosen to teach the sixth grade in the Hawthorne school and will take the place left vacant by Miss Eva Savage. FORMER PENDLETON MAN SENTENCED TO PEN The following Is from yesterday's Portland Journal: I Oeorge Haigh. pleading guilty yes terday before Judge Bronaugh to a ! charge of larceny from a dwelling, j brushed scalding tears from his cheeks as he faced the ordeal of sen tence and listened to a plea In his be half by United Ktates District Attor ney John McCourt. Mr. McCourt said he did not appear as attorney for Haigh, but he knew Haigh in eastern Oregon years ago and had been asked by the young man's father to speak a few words for him. The attorney said that Haigh had poor example and influ ences surrounding him as a boy. He has sung In shows and entertain ments, and has been in trouble with the law only once before. That was years ago, when he was sent to the penitentiary from Pendleton for lar ceny of wool from a station platform. Haigh told Judge Bronaugh that he "pulled off four larceny Jobs in Portland. He said he never carried a gun. and had given back all of the plunder. He could not understand what made him commit these later crimes, he ,v,(i Judge Bronaugh ntncfi him to serve an idftermin ate term in the penitentiary. This will let him out in one yejir if his (nduct is good. A. J. Cavala, forger of numerous bad checks, was sentenced to five years In the penitentiary.

WALLA Mil M FROM U TEAM DEFEATS PEXDfciETOX HIGH SEOOXD TOTE THIS YEAR Soore of Game Was 23 to H Visit ors Outclassed Home Boys in Fin Points of Game Bishop Star of the Evening. The Walla Walla high school basket ball team clinched its title to superi ority over the local high school toss- ers last night on Pendleton's floor , when it won a second victory by the I score of 23 to 14. Although handi capped by the loss of one of their best men, the Garden City boys outplayed the home team at all stages of the grune and clearly demonstrated that they had a much more complete mas Ury of the fine points which is un doubtedly due to the fact that they I have had the advantage of a coacn during the season. Captain McDill and his men have rio excuses to offer for their defeat, admitting that the visitors outclassed them in team work. A feature of the contest last night was the spectacular playing of Bish op, one of Walla Walla's forwards, who scored a total of 15 points for his team. McDill for the home team took first honors in number of points, making 10 out of the 14. The other four were made by Kimball, who re lieved Sturdivant, after the latter was compelled to retire on account of in juries. The local- team leaves next Friday on a trip north and will probably play Walla Walla that night and Day ton on Saturday. The lineup in the game last night was as follows: Walla Walla Houser, Blackman, Bishop. Jones. Botts and Crawford. Pendleton McDill, Rader, Sturdi v'ant, Kimball, Devine and Jordan.

With regard to dlsclpling in the ii.use of Lords, Mr. Asrjuith seems to be a trifle premature. He is undoubtedly riglit In saying that tho iiuestlon of thp, relative powers of the two houses must be settled be fore all other matters, for the impo tence of the Liberal Ministry, with all its immense majority, arose from the rejection by tho Jnrds of one measure of reform after another. In the case at issue, even should his party make good his promises, home rule could never pas the lords. The. great In crease in the unionist vote, even tho election, indicates no popular Indig nation against the peers that can be counted upon to support revolution ary schemes. A Monmouth correspondent of The Dalles Ttemlzer sayg that pork and poultry were never so high there since 1867. FUNT.RAL. OP T. J.

Busy Boston Store WOULD CORRECT CAUSE OP STOCK CONFU6ION Washington. All the Christmas vote would be cast, If the opportunity were presented, in favor of a bill Just introduced by Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, to correct an evil that waa the source of much complaint last month. It has to do with the "not-to-be-opened - until - Christmas" packages. Congress tried to pass a law provid ing that those words might be In scribed on a package without raising the cost of postage. Some genius In the postofflce de partment during the recent ante Christmas days, decided that the law referred only to packages to which were attached printed labels giving the "don't open" warning. He ruled that If tho warning was written on the package the latter was trans formed from merchandise Into letter mull and subject to double the mer chandise rate of postage. The department officials held up hundreds of pneages on the ground of Insufficient postage and the result was much confusion and delay. Nelson's bill provides In language that cannot be subject to miscon struction that people may write the "don't open" notice on n package without changing the rate of postage.
