lpce of wn.'k to th ether, and In a
remarkably short time Incense was
burning and superstitious rites wen
being enacted. After short prelimin

eight graves In the Chinese lot are not
allon equality, and only a few of
themthem were recipients of special
favors. All were given some atten
tion, however. " '
The roast hog, or parts of it, at
least, baked chicken, rice pudding,
apples and sweetmeats were some ol
the necessities of life that were placed
at the heads of the graves with sol
emn gestures and supplication. For
dessert, the dead were provided with
Imperial claretts, Bourbon whisky.
China gin, opium, apples and various
other articles ol' palatable enjoyment.
In the vault the customary amount
of colored papers were burned. From
these the spirits selected hte color of
clothing stiltnble to them. With Imi

flames the spirits could make their
purchases after selecting the color to
their suiting.
The articles of food not consumed
during the banquet were returned and
tonight local Chinamen will make
merry with drinking and feasting.

Social Session.
. Last evening the regular monthly
congregational, session of the Prcaby,
terlnn church was held In the Lewis

business and social session. The
meeting was well attended and much
good will result. At the business ses
sion reports from the various branch

which tended to show that the church
was In a healthy condition. The mat
ter of erecting a new church building
In the near future was discussed, and
while no specific time was selected

It Is evident from the discussion that
the time Is not far distant 'when the
Presbyterians of La Grnnde will have
a building which will be n credit to
that denomination and the city.
i'ftvr the business session an hour
wan taken for social amusement. Mik

. Baker City won from La Grande at
the NoyeB rink last evening at basket
ball on skates, but It was not until
the timekeeper's trumpet had sound
ed, that the victory was assured.
During the first half the teams see
lawed, first one gaining the lead and
then the other. The second session
exhibited better team work on tht
visitors' part and the score soon be
?an to take on a form that looked
discouraging to La Grande. When it
was all over, Baker was a winner by
the score of 14 to 6.
The Ln Grande team plans to play
a return game at Baker City on next
Friday night.
The players and manager returned
to their homes this morning, well
pleased with their treatment while Jh

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Principal Slattcrs DlMCuescd Were the
Plana to Make Room tor More Clul
drcn. v ' . : ,,
The school board met last evenlni
In the office of School Clerk A. C.
Williams. After the routine matters
were disposed of, such as paying of
salaries and bills, the board wrestled
with the problem of 'securing. Addi
tional room for next year. It in the
intention to fit up the remaining fodi
rooms In the Xorib.La Grande build
ing, also use the present large hall or
assembly room In the high school
building to seat the high school stu
dents while preparing their lessons,
from which thiy retire to their
respective recitutlon rooms to recite.!
This will In n measure relieve the
present congested condition until such
time as the people demand that a
separate high school building be
erected, which is only a matter of
time. ' J
A contract was also let to have two
rows of trees poplar and box elder
set out 'around the new brick across
the track.
