YESTERDAY
In a game that was characterized by
two home runs, many error and sen
sational fielding by Zimmerman, the
I Grande Babes won from the Ba
ker City "Nuggets" yesterday by a
score of T to I. The visitors got an
early lead, but when Houston put one ' basoball In La Grande
over the fence early In the game, the
score commenced to climb up. In the
fifth Zimmerman earned a new hat
by placing one over the fence be
tween the $5 ht limit Andrews &
Berry have notified Zip to call and
make his choice.
Nelson, the Perry boy, threw a fair
ly good game yesterday, and with
better support at times would have
had a bigger lead on the visitors than
he had. It Is planned to have him
throw again tomorrow.
Zimmerman and Cotteman are
marked up for today's game, which la
next to the last of the league series.
The game tomorrow ends league

year, Is also an Important decision.
The third matter of Importance to
be dealt with by the secretary was to
declare that the 7000 acres now under
water would not be added to from the
1,000 remaining acres, until all the
canals In the first project were In
good working order.
The land now under water must also
be well cultivated before more land
can be reclaimed.
This means, considering the fact
that blowing sand has filled some of
the new canals, that no more govern'
mem iana win oe watered ror a year
at least. Still, another decision com.
Ing under this division is that the pro
ject will be extended to the Columbia
so as to take In about 40,000 add!
tional acres, In time.
m ne secretary was tendered a re
ception at the home of Congressman
W. R. Ellis last evening, at which a
Inrge number of Pendleton people
were glyen an opportunity of person
ally meeting the man to whom the
arid west Is most in gratitude. Gar
field's ministry has been of Inestima
ble service to the west, and though
Union counfy has no particular need
of the gentleman's kindness, still "its
sister counties do, In many instances.
At Twin Falls the secretary will in
spect the government project and then
J proceed directly east to his headquar

The South Carolina Launched.'
Philadelphia. Pa., July 11. Into
the waters of the Delaware, river, on
whose shores so many ships of the
new navy" have been built, there was
launched today the great steel hull of
what will be the formidable battleship
South Carolina. Built by the Cramp
Shipbuilding company, the South Car
olina, a sister ship to the Michigan,
lanuched a few weeks ago at Cam
den, Is about SO per cent -completed
and will be turned over to the govern
ment before the end of next year. The
contract for her construction was
signed two years ago this "month, and
her keel was laid December 18, ltOC.
It was a few minutes past noon
when the last shores were knocked
from the ways and the colossal vessel
began her brief Journey. Swinging
aloft the wine bottle, which was
clothed with the Stars and Stripes,
Miss Ansel, daughter of Governor An
sel of South Carolina, erashed It
against the steel bow and uttered the
christening words. As the mammoth
hulk glided gracefully down the
greased cradle, the enthusiasm of the
crowd fonnd vent. To the shouts and
cheers of the people was added the
din of countless boat whistles and It
was not until the South Carolina was
swung gracefully to In mid-stream that
the pandemonium subsided.

Marble Works of Denver Sues Federa
tion for Large Sunt Today.
The above news dispatch makes the
citizen of La Grande breath easier,
despite the fact that the government
thermometer set a new mark today
again by going above the 8-degree
mark, it registering 99 degrees this
afternoon. .The heat In the city today
has been oppressive, but the remark
able fact of Oregon weather com
pared with eastern climates Is that It
seems less oppressive with the ther
mometer standing at 100 here, than
It does at 85 in the east. The heat
registering machine shows that the
warmest weather of the day was Just
before 3 o'clock, when the mercury
shot up to approximately 93 degrees,
as stated above.
Denver, July 11. While conferring'
upon the labor matter today heads '

them to appear as defendants lt the "
suit brought by E. H. Thompson of
the marble company. President Sam

chell and Max Morris are among thi 1
