' February 26 and 27, inclusive
are the dates 'set for the East-
em Oregon Athletic conference
in this city. The Union County
Teachers' Institute will be neia
on the latter day.
La Grande's efforts to land the
eastern Oregon high school athletic
conference has been successful, as
Pendleton, In a letter received last
evening, magnanimously gave In to
the requests. With the meeting place
definitely settled, strenuous efforts
will be made between now and the
date, to make the Initial conference, a
i.rnfiinlile one. There are hosts of
things to be discussed and given final
action at the pending meeting, among
them the four-year rule, college or
normal school disbarments, election of
officers,- rules governing preliminary
and championship games, who is to
fix the schedule and a copious bull;
if other matters too extensive to enu
merate. Eastern Oregon will set a pace foi
all the northwest if the proposed reg
ulations and conference rules become
:t fact, for at present there are no
high school conferences that are reg
ulated as closely as the recently adopt
ed conference rules now governing
the northwest colleges and universi
ties. The high scliools of this section
will be protected Sud regulated fnll
is well as the colleges if the motive of
the coming conference is curried out.

In the CXmadian Pacific's 3,QO0,0C0 acre tract of wheat land east of Calgary, Alberta, a new district has iust been
put on the market at $10. per acre, on 10 years time at 6 per cent interest.
This land lies directly on the main line of the Canadian Pacific and one, crop of wheat or oats will pay for it.
The winter rs open and mild and Umatilla County purchasers are moving over this month to began work on their
new farms. .
-J Mordo McDonald, of Walla Walla, but well known in Grande Ronde, Is sending over -a big farming outfit to
begin work on his section an a half east of Galgary. He says that it is the best wheat country, on the American
Goniinent. ' -
Rph- Huffman. fnrmftHv of Union countv. is farming his land east of Calgarv this year. Gonductors
Smith ar.d Len McGrary, of the 0. R. & N. will begin work on a section near Stratihmore this spring.'
Wheal raising on the Canadian Pacific tract is not an experiment now. Miles Farrel, a farmer near Calgary
vested k6 i-2 bushels of winter wheat per acre on a full half section of new land.
Yields from 50 to 60 bushels have been commonly reported all through the new settlement in the Bow River
Isy. One crop pays for the land. A. Burnett harvested 60 1-2 bushels of No. i winter wheat onliew land east of
Calgfry in 1908. - Over ICO bushels of oats were grown on had adjoining the above tract. Spring v,teat matures in
20 days owing to the long hours of sunshine in the growing season.
DON'T EE A RENTER WHEN YOU CAN OWN A H0ME&IN A NEW COUNTRY. You can pay for a section of
land in Alberta with one crop Others have dene it, why not you?
The next party. wiil leave Pendleton for Csljary onluesday, February 15 Go now and get a choice tract on the
main line cf the railroad.
