FOOTBALL
OPENS TODAY
Football was Inaugurated this af
ternoon when a "crackerjack" team
from Island City faced the entire squad
from the local high Bchool at 2 o'clock
on the bell park grounds. V
The affair was a practice game only
and every member of. the local squad
who could get out In a suit today was
given a tryout In the initial game of
the season.
The contest will prove beneficial to
the team which meets Cove next Sat
urday and Baker City here one week
from the Cove game. It will give the
coaches hints on picking the team la
ter when big games come along.
Is land City's aggregation Is consid
erably different than last year, though
the game was a practice game for that
squad as well as the local team. Spec
tators were limited principally to high
school followers of the game.
La Grande Leads.

Grande had demonstrated Its ability
to hold Island City and to gain ground
almost at will. Score, end of first

Grande's substitutes went In the line
up at the opening of the second half.
A NEW DUTY.
Postmasters of the State Required to
Expound Potital Laws.
Postmaster J. T. Brown has Just re
ceived an order from Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer, which promises beneficial
results. He has been directed to con
fer with the local school authorities as
to the practicability and desirability
of delivering to the school children
short talks on the postal service. .
The design Is to inform the pupils
of the scope of its operations, the
methods of delivering the malls, clas
sification of mall matter and registry
and money order systems. Inclden
tally they are to make known plans
for the betterment, such as the estab
llshment of postal savings banks and
the extension of the parcels post.
Whenever it may be Impracticable
for postmasters to deliver the lectures
they are to furnish the necessary In-
formation to the school supervisors
so as to equip the regular teachers. It
Is the postmaster general's expectation
that the school children will be useful
to the postal service In secjhg that let
ters are properly and plainly address
ed. That there Is necessity for action
of the kind Is shown by the business
transacted by the dead letter office.
During the last year 13,415,172 pieces
of mall matter were sent there because
the postofflces were unable to road
them, says the Pendleton E. O.
Postmaster G. M. Rlehcy, of the lo
cal postofflce, has not yet received hit;
Instructions, though he has been aware
of their forthcoming for several days.
TROUBLE WITH ENGINE.
One of the EngnlCH Not Working at
All .Satisfactory.
One of the new engines In the round
house NO. 207 which was given a
test under scrutiny of the high officials
a few days ago, Is still working Im
properly, and to remedy difficulties
workmen are overhauling the locomo
tive to rearrange the fire apparatus.
Recently the engine was sent up the
hill with nine cars and acted nobly for
a time, but soon died out. It Is be
lleved that when the present repairs
are completed, the new engine will
"fire" properly.
It will be given another thorough
test s soon bs the repairs have been
made.
