Play ball!
That sounds American like, doesn't
It, It has the old familiar ring to It
and makes everyone hustle to get In
side the high board fence before the
first man is struck out. j
Today is the day that La Grande's;
team plays Its first game on the home j
dirt pile where it Is always claimed
that every team can do its best. Thus
far In the season the home team has
been up against the real thing. It
lias encountered some very, very fast
company and besides It was In no
shape to grab the bat when it did.
These are not excuses; they are mere
facts, and after the severals games In ,
this city people here will then begin t
to look for4 results from the boys who
wear L Grand on their uniforms.
It Is good to have a ball team. It
makes La Grande' a better place to
live In. It causes stagnant blood to
rush through the veins of the oldest
' settler when he gets to talking about
our boys." Yes, and it encourages
the American spirit In the younger
generation, a thing which must not
be underestimated., ;
But. play ball. Strike, of course,
The above remark was made yes
terday; by Matt Rees of Cove who has
been in Eastern Oregon for many
years and now a somethings of towns
and people and general affairs of the
county. He. came over from Cove with
his old friend, Judge J. B, Messlck,
of Baker county, who had beeu visit
ing him and they were talking of all
the Eastern Oregon towns.
"But La Grande is the town .with
the resources," remared Mr. Rees.
Enumerating many of the sources of
money from the outside world he cal
led to mind that La Grande should be
twice. Its present size, and in that be
uttered a .certain truth. This city
should be twice its size, and it will be
'shortly. ' There Is no town In Oregon
growing like La Grande unless It Is
Eugene where three railroads are now
building.
Union people are going to Invade
Wallowa county by special train on
the 22nd, thereby exhibiting once
more that splendid spirit of push and
energy which has ever prevailed In
Union since the live stock show was
first launched, There are few things
Union cannot do when her citizen's
decide to try.

VICTORY FOR BITLTTHIIC PAVEMENT.
Action of Newburg In Selecting This
Material for Hard Surfacing Her
Streets Is Likewise Regarded us a
Victory for Property Owners.
Newburg. Oregon, May. 1912. The
contract for paving the streets of
Newburg was awarded by the city
council last night, bltullthic being the
material selected. The decision of the
council was practically unanimous as
to the material to be used, as the
mayor and council, as well as the
committee representing the property
owners, have had the matter under
consideration for some time and have
thoroughly Investigated the claims
made by the various paving compan
ies as to tho merits of the different
materials proposed. '
Though paving propositions, slight
ly cheaper as to Initial expense, were
submitted, It was considered practical
to select the more durable bitullthlc
owing to the great saving made pos
sible In maintenance, as this mater
ial lasts tor years without the neces
sity of repairs.
General satisfaction is felt regard
ing the action of the council in the
selection of paving material, a natur
al result of the unanimous acton of
the property owners n signing the po
tions that have been circulated in fa
vor of bitullthlc, and the work of
paving, which will begin at once. Is
said to be but the fore-runner of
much Improvement which will take
place hero this spring. Adv.

JilltrH IS DELEGATE.
J. II. Pea re of La Grande Chosen Al
ternate Delegate at Eugene.
Eugene, Ore., May 14. (Special)
After the hardest contest ever record
ed In the Knights of Columbus ranks
in Oregon Eastern Oregon delegates
won out on the selection of state dep
uty when Charles P. Murphy of Ba
ker was given the decisive vote last
evening.
J. H. Peare of La Grande and John
M .Casey of Portland, were elected
alternates. The state deputy Is a
high honor and means that Murphy
will represent Oregon at the Grand
Council. Peare and Casey were among
the hard fighters for Eastern Oregon
recognition and when it came time
to choose alternates they were elect
ed because of the heroic right they
had made for Murphy.
While the Knights of Columbus Is
a secret order and the workings of
tho order, even elections, are sup
posed to be kept within the ranks,
the contest last night waged so warm
that many outsiders were anxious to
know the rqpult.
SINGLE TAX REPORTED ON.
Socialists Hear Committee Reports on
Question.
Indianapolis, May 14. Thomas
Hlckey, delegated by the national so
cialist committee to investigate the
single tax question,' reported to the
national convention today denouncing
land ownership In the United States
declarlg that "Landlordism Is eclips
ing even the Infamous Irish methods
and Is the cause of most of the trou
ble In America." He discussed the
single tax in detail.
Follower of William D. Haywood
promised today to support tho party
heartily despite the fact that they lost
their attempt to control the conven
tion committees.
. Bitter denunciation of Francesco
Madero president of Mexico, was made
by Francesco De'Laia, the Mexican
who came to this country to try to.
prevent the United States from inter
vening in Mexico. De Lara said that
Madero lied when he said he was for
the people. He declared that Madero
and his family are among the biggest
landlords In Mexico, and said that the
suggestion that "American lives and
property are endangered Is a lie in
the part of the propaganda to have
America Intervene. ,
