Pendleton has met with astonishing success through this season; Weston Normal has been van quished, and many other of the strong Inland empire teams have gone down In easy defeat at the hands of the Pendletonlnns. Locally, Interest has reached a top notch. ' Those who have followed the rapid development of the La Uranue Commercial club team are confident that they will win, notwithstanding the strength of the visitors. . Members of the La Grande ' team have been out today selling tickets In advance, to cover the somewhat ex pensive trip of the visiting team, and before the whistle blows tomorrow night calling the 10 athletes to' the Commercial club auditorium floor, it is hoped that many of the tickets will have been disposed of. The admission Is 25 cents and 'arrangements are be ing made to accommodate a large crowd of spectators. ' The Pendleton team will reach La Grande this evening under charge of Miss Elizabeth Foley as chaperone and Edgar V. Shockley as coach.

Now Vratcrnnl Order Members Screech lu Oregon's MctroKlg. Portland, Ore., Jan. 15. Officers of the Brotherhood of Owls and delegates from 219 lodges In 22 states, repre senting a total embershlp of 100,000, gathered In Portland today to open the first national convention of the new order. In addition to the dele gates, hundreds of members are here to participate In the four-day celebra tion. In addition to the business ses sions, there will be various social meetings and many novel features In the way of fun-miiking. The Broth erhood of Owls is a social organizati m and has Its headquarters in South Bend, Ind., having been organized by a leading attorney of that city. One of the mottoes of the Owls is: "Don't take yourself too damned seriously." Won't Sack Ills Wheat at All. A Wilbur, Wash., dispatch says that Herman Bott, who lives about eight miles northwest of Wilbur, farms 500 acres ot land. When asked about marketing his product, he said: "My Idea Is to do away with sacks entirely. I have spent enough money already for sacks to build housing room for twice or three times as much wheat as I produce annually. Elevators are all right In town or at a market place, and every farmer should have ample storage room at home for his crop. A few sacks would answer the .purpose. We pay too much for sacks. Probably if the Jute mill at Walla Walla was bigger and the state saw fit we might get out aacks at a reasonable price. I intend to store my grain at home without the use of so many sacks. Then I can haul and market It at my leisure." Wheat Market Brisk. During te past three days It Is es tlmated that about 850,000 bushels of wheat have changed hands in Walla Walla, and grain buyers of the city have been unusually busy, which Is a striking contrast to the activity of business along this line during the first few days of this month. Since about December 1 there has been practically no buying of wheat, and the Walla Walla grain market has been In a dormant state, but Saturday it opened with a rush, and Blnce then has been unusually active. Most of this wheat was purchased at 75 cents for club and "7 cents for bluestem, but It Is claimed that the farmers are now holding off until the price goes to 80 cents. One firm in this city has purchased about 250,000 bushels since the market opened. Other firms are buying on about the same average, Walla Walla Bulletin. m:w imiiK;i; iimsiiei. , Clams and Crabs, And fresh fish at the La Grande Cash Meat Co. 'Phone Main 96 or Main 14 14tf .
