Recording Sec. Af. K. West's Great Letters have been written to Pen dleton asking that Im Grande be given the high school athletic conference this month, when a complete set of regulations are to be "drawn up and adopted. Wh((. Pendleton took the ". 'initiative and is due much credit, still it Is not In line with the best Interests of all concerned, that the conference be held In thut city. Im Grande Is the central point. It is very evident that it is not Justifiable to ask Ontario to come to Pendleton when that delega tion, and Baker City. too. can come to Ln Grande much cheaper. Then, too, there is Wallowa county, that could not bo represented unless the delega tion spent four days in making the trip. To La Grande It could he done In less than two days. There are four high schools In Union county that would be pinched to send delegates to Pendleton, while to La Grande It would be easy. It is really absurd to send one set of delegates from Wal lowa, one from Ontario, one from Ba ker City and four from Union county to an out-of-the-way place, when ex penses might as well be divided as evenly as possible. Shoe. Sale Monday, February 1st n For Ten Days DENTIST! I came to the Grande Ronde Val-1 ley some months ago to give the j people of this community the advant- i age of reliable dental work at reason-: able prices and I have found thut this determination has been appreciated. It is due every man that he get a reasonable recompense for his work ; and base my practice on that prin-: ciple. My patrons shall receive the i same consideration that I should ex-: pect if I had occasion to employ a Deniist. Very Respectfully j Sllverthorn's Family drug store.

PH0 BLACK 911 WOOD & coal! Pendleton. Feb. 2. The Tribune publishes a story today of the toll gate niiiil, which says, that according to visitors In the city from Milton, the esideiits of that section are endeavor ing to have the old toll gate road from hat city across the Hlue Mountains to :if;ln, iibollshed by the legislature and made Into a public highway. The road Is one of the oldest in the state and has been held by a corpora- ion for a number of years, ln the ariy days, there was not much traf ie over this pass through the moun .1 ins. but of late years the travel has increasi d wonderfully and the rev- ni:-s ere claimed to be great.
