TOMORROW'S GAME.
Tomorrow the La Grande high
school football teams goes to' Baker
City to compete for honors with the
high school team at that place. Both
teams are a great deal stronger than
."wi u",n past and a lively
scrimmage Is expected. Both teams'
have played excellent ball so far this
season and are In fine shape for what
Is termed the most Important game
to be played this year. For years
. there has been a strong, not to say
unfriendly rivalry between the two
cities In all sports and especially on
the gridiron. In a great number of the
games for several seasons back the

very way and the friendly relations
between the two schools . have Deen
strained to a , considerable extent.
Both La Grande and Baker City think
that the others uses methods on the

of the opinion that the other is trying

tomorrow's game wll be one that the
members of both teams can con
scientiously look back to In the future
wun a reeling or deserved gratificat
ion and one that they will have noth-
a
lug io conceal concerning me tacticB
used in their efforts to win the game.
A true sport Is one that can have no
hard feeling for the team thart car
ries off th,e honors either by superior
playing or by some error on the part
of the favored contestant and It Is ear
Jjestly, hoped that the members and of-
o U19 V " W lOAUtQ ill lUIUVIl lUTT D
game will remember this and act ac
cordingly. Every public-spirited cltl
eh In La Grande Is very desirous of
seeing the locals boys win the contest,
hut If it should fall to their lot to lose
the game It Is far better not to cry
: fraud unless It Is clearly manifest and
If that Is true and unfair methods are
i used, it Is far better to cause nsystem
. atlc Investigation than to let It go by
quietly and always hnve the subject

Fairbanks will be tendered the post of
Embassador to China. As the matter
Is thus far given out, Senator Cullom
has suggested the fitneBS of Mr. Fair
banks to Secretary Knox and It Is be
lieved by Mr. Fairbanks friends that
he will accept the appointment.
Jt Is said that during his present
trip through China the ex-Vlce-PreBl-dent
has made a splendid Impression;
but aside from that, Mr. Fnlrbank's
general qualifications are such as to
fit him admirably for the duties of
diplomacy. In the matter of discret
ion, of polish and that particular or
der of dissimulation, which Is suppos
ed to be the mark of advanced states
manship, everyone concedes that Mr.
Fairbanks is fully equipped.
Moreover, It Is clearly the fact that
Mr. Fairbanks Is fully In sympathy
with the administrative policy toward
China; and Is conversant with all of
the requirements of diplomacy which
that policy entails. His many
experience ana training m puouc me
makes him familiar witu ynai tne un
er points of the Rame that la to be
played In Chlna'demand. Mr. Fair
batiks Is a conservative of the conser
vatives, and In that he Bhotild fill the
Chinese post to the letter. If the not
able Indlanian will accept' the ap-
iiointniotit. the general verdict will
CONFERENCE OF RABBIS.
The New York Hebrews are Dreoar
ing to intertaln some of the most dis
tinguished of their faith next week
uen me conrerence of American
Rabbis meet there for their yearly
meeting ror the first time in seventeen
years. The conference Is the olficial
organization of the Reformed Jewesh
congregations of the United States
and Canada. , .
This year the conference was po3t
yuueu unui ivovember so that the
rabbis may take part In the celebration
of the centenaries of Dr. David Eln-
born and Dr. Samuel Adler, two of
New York's earliest reform rabbis,
who to a large extent established the
church In this country half a century
ago.
Among the questions to be consid
ered at the meeting Is that of.lnter-
maarrlage between Jew and Chistlan.
A decision of unusual Importance to
th reformed Jews Is expected.
An attempt will be made to pro
vide sbrdletaoihrdlutaolnrdluaoinrdlu
Jewish workingroen. Religious ed
ucation among Jewish children will
alBO be discussed. A day will be
devoted to a visit to Ellis Island. One
of the meetings of the conference will
be held on the East Side lnthe audi
torium of the . Educational Alliance,
and another afternoon will' be" set
large Jewish Institutions of the city.

PROSPERITY SUINES MERE.
Certainly not another city , east of
Portland has the night wording forces
that this city has. With over a hun
dred men working under the electric
light glare at the Palmer mills, an
other crew of scores making sugar
during the night hours at the factory,
and the round house and railroad em
ployes putting In all kinds of extra
night work, there Is a night payroll
here almost as large as the day pay
roll of either Pendleton or Baker City.

Members of the Japanese Commer
cial CommBBion, who have been giv
en the glad hand in many of the
large cities of both East and West,
are likely to have a frigid reception
when they inspect the Industries of
the Smoky City today. . The Fitts
burg Chamber of Commerce as a body
has decided to virtually Ignore the
visiting Japanese, on the ground that
the sons of Nippon, as a nation, de
mand too much in the educational
line and are willing to give too lit
tle. Some of the members of the
Chamber dissent from this opinion

Col. G. R. Colton today took the oatt
of office and assumed the governor
ship' of Porto Rico, succeeding Gov.
Regis II. Post, resigned. Mr. Post re
turned to the United States last
month and George C. Ward has been
acting governor In the interval. The
Inaugral ceremonies were of an elab
orate nature and will conclude tonight
with a grand ball. :

La Grande ana the county can be
thankful that the coast torrents have
not visited this section. Incessant rain
will, If continued for an Indefinite
period, create havoc with railroad beds
but the terrific torrents which have
visited other sectlous of the north
west, do their damage unannounced.
Since the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary, women have been
called "angels" by poetical couitesy.
Now that they, have biun to fly, shall
we regard chivalrous posy as sub
stantially confirmed.

Every time two European monarchs
meet to talk things over, all of the rest
of the potentate bunch take It for
granted that the klss-commlngly
brother "potes" are saying mean
things of them behind their backs.
It is the complaint of some critics
that Colonel Roosevelt's hunting stor
les lack color. What are wo to ex
pect from a man who Is bitterly op
posed to yellow Journalism.
What La Grande wants tomorrow
at linker City is a square deal win or
loose, if victory enn't come honestly.
