La Grande' trap shooting will
henceforth be dune at Oro Dell, the
La Grande Gun club having found it
;ecti: - nt ringe Just below the Oro
Lll br.'dss. It waa found necessary
'to more from tbe Eact Adams avenue
!lxioo yeaterday wben the owner of
i 'n3 which the traps were ait-
uated decided to plow up the ground,
!nd in casting about for a suitable
place to Ight, the club offi
cers found the Oro Dell range. It is
beKeved there will be less wind there
than elsewhere and that the range
will be fully as convenient as the old
one. The only difference is the mat
ter of roads, which in the summer
time will be passable, of course, but
in early spring may cause some hin
drance.' TESMS CAXPAIGX TALKED.

Preparing Csrt Again.
That La Grande is to have two ex
cellent tennis courts and maybe more
became a certainty last night when
the Triangle club took it upon itself
to further plans to that end. it is like
ly that with the Dumber of new peo
ple In the city who may be Interest
ed, It will become necessary to keep
three or even four courts la order,
but that the old B. M. A, courts are
to be repaired, tbe fence rebuilt anci
otherwise improved, now is certa'n.
Just who will be affiliated with the
courts has not been determined, but
the players will not be required to
wait until hot weather comes to get
to playing th's year, as waa the case
last year. Immediate action is to be
aken.
