A representative of the Observer

of the Pendleton high school football
J earn that the players from the Indian
City have the players of the La
Grande High doped out as their most
formidable opponent for the present
season. Yet they expect from La
Grande a clean, fair game that will
be a reliable test of the strength of
the two teams. Pendleton won over
Walla Walla high by a score of C to
0 Saturday afternoon.
Pendleton has only one new man
this year but have lost several of the
last year's team including the great
Trace Baker at fullback. This year
their new Pennsylvania coach, Brown
has built up a speedy fighting eleven
with such men as Kimball and Devine
as a basis for his work. Those who
have seen the Pendleton team in. ic.

SpWhe, Oct 25-- (Special) Del
egates, at the fourth session of the
Dry Farming Congress at Billings,
Montana. October 26-29, will be ur
ged to adopt a resolution, prepared
by Arthur Hooker, of Spokane, secre
tary of the 18th National Irrigation
Congress, providing for the Issuance
by the United States government of
5,000,000,000 ln gold bonds, bearing
interest not to exceed 3 per cent and
running for 100 years for the follow
ing purposes, where It can be shown
that the work Is warranted:
One billion dollars for the con
struction of national highways and
good .roads.
One billion dollars for the con
struction and Improvement of deep
waterways.
One million dollars for forest pro
tection, reforestation ana the conser
vation of forest resources.
One billion dollars for the reclani-
acion by irrigation of arid and Bfciiil
arid lands.
One bllion dollars for the drainage
of over-flowed and swamp lands.
According to Mr. Hooker there is
a woeful lack of good road3 and nat
ional -highways throughout the Unit
ed States, and as a result the losses
to the farm area Is more than $500,
000,000 annually. He also says that
the improvements of the waterways
will be of direct benefit to the people
by increasing the country's transpor
tation facilities, mentioning also that
now is the time for the protection of
the forests and the reclamation of
40,000,000 acres of arid and semi-arid
lands by irrigation and the drainage
of 80,000,000 acres of overflowed and
swamp lands.
