VILt ARRIVE TONIGHT
With the trrtval nf tonight's train
from the west will come the Pendleton
girls' basketball team, Its manage
ment, coach anl few' supporter.
The arrival at thia ei hour Is rt
ultant of the tact that to come on tha
morning train wom1 cc ksltate the
Pendleton playrs traveling at night,
and thus rail ice H r .Hev or less
degree the team's efficiency tomorrow
evening when the local club girls' five
will, face the Pendleton high school
quintet for what Is considered the fast
est game that will be seen on the lo
cal floor this year. 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. The
team Is composed of Nona Johnson
fand Eunice Vogel, forwards; Gertrude
, Jordan, center; Ruth Gibson and
I Dal,y McPherson, guards; Hazel and

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,
