OUR BOYS.

(Dedicated to the Heroes of the Y.

"You may talk of your heroes in battle
array' ''
"Who press on the foe till the close of
the day;
Of those on the farm, in the shop, in
the mill, . , :
Who give us the best of their labor
and skill.

Who cause the useful and precious to
grow, .
The heroes who give us the happiest
joys
Are those who provide for the
good of our boys.
Temptations surround them on every
side,
When left to themselves they cannot
. abide
The evils that lead them from inno
cent life; ,
True workers are needed to help in
the strife. ' ,
Thank God that we have them, both
women and men
To keep the boys safely from in
famy's den;
Whose lives are made purer and with
no alloys .
God bless those who work for the
good of our boys.
Of all the things useful in work and
in play
There's none can exceed the Y. M. C.

To keep the boys occupied body and
mind
In useful and innocent work of the
kind
That fully develops them as they
should be; '"',
Creating pure manhood, so useful and'
free.
And the greatest of all is the one who
employs
His time and his talent in saving our
boys. '

to get into the country where money
is freely being given to the x. m.
A. campaign, the 100 men who are
now in the harness collecting 'funds
for the campaign today noon voted to
extend the campaign until Friday
night at 10 o'clock and at that date
and hour, the struggle closes positive
ly. Country committees have been
unable to get anywhere since Friday
and it is only yesterday the best
work in a team way has been done
in the city.
Songs, delicious food, enthusiasm,
all intermingled at the noon-day
luncheon today. A clever paraphrase
of "The Good Old U. S. A." sung by
the L. D. !$. quartette and composed
by Milton Stoddard a high school
student, threw ginger and "pep" into
the work In finev style. So fitting

arrived to finally settle all points of
controversy and have determined
there is a common ground on which
they can draw up such convention re

definitely worded treaty which will'
replace the present loose understand

made by Roosevelt with Japanese,
No definite indication of what the
Japanese protest against the Califor
nia bill contained is yet made public
It is admitted the protest is general
in character and its is denied that it
defiantly demands that Japanese be
eligible to citizenship.
Persons familiar with the situation
state the protest is based ' on , (the
feeling there is an effort everywhere
in the United States to discriminate
against Japanese because they are in
eligible to citizenship. The protest
asks the president to remedy this ids
crimination. Diplomats thing a new

With ceremonies and a racket that
La Grande has never equaled before
on a similar occasion, professional
baseball . was ushered in this after
noon on time and on .schedule al
though Jupiter Pluvious came near
spoiling it all by uncorking a gust of
showers yesterday. It was a stupend
ous affair in many ways and reflect
ed the genuine interest that is mani
fest in the game here. : Manager
George Engel, the pld-time Vancpu
ver twirler, brought the North Yaki
ma Braves to town last evening and
also brought along E. J. Kohls, presi
dent of the Yakima club, wko will
witness the first game or two of his
mighties on the road. Both are con
f indent that they will be able to
retrieve the honors lost last week
whe Boise got to them in a terrific
manner.
The field is undergoing a process
of reconstruction and for ; several
days it is likely that errors will be
free and plentiful. The bleachers are
not irt readiness either but will be fin
ished just as soon as possible.
The parade this afternoon formed
on Fouth street and the cowbell bri
gade was something" awful in its
noisiness, to ' be sure. Officials of
the city,, county and district, headed
by the band, a great number of
school children, fans galore and the
royal rooter bunch in the Warran
Construction cart, the steam roller
tooting all the way, made . a scene
that will long stand out as unique in
affairs of this sort. As a conglomer
ation of features it stands alone.
Motorcycles Popular.
A platoon of motorcycles with
cowbells trailing commenced the
racket at noon and kept it up to the
end. No baseball game has ever
worked up the widespread interest
today's has, for it was a regular cir
cus parade crowd that jammed the
business streets from noon on.
Sprinkling of rain during the afterr
noon didn't dampen spirits a bit.
Automobile owners formed in parade
and the affair that wended its way
through the city to the park at 2:30
was several blocks long.
