Ac cording to Miss W. P.

HOUSTON QUITS HIS POST BECOMES SUPERINTENDENT OF ELGIN SCHOOLS. Local Teacher and Band Man Received ; Material Promotion. Prof. H. H. Heuston, member of the nich school faculty and prominent member of the La Grande band, has Been tendered and has accepted, the anrocrintendoncy of the Elgin schools w-rf Smith of Elo-in. recently re Grande. Nothing was heard of him by the Portland authorities until this morn ing when Sheriff Word received a wire from the sheriff at Boise, Idaho, ask ing if Conley was still wanted, tie stated that he had Conley in custody and would hold him pending word from Portland. Sheriff Word is now wait ing word whether Conley will f ight ex tradition. He will probably go after Conley himself. Tomorrow night the congregation of the Presbyterian church will meeUin a business session for the purpose of calling Dr. A. G. Lane as permanent pastor to the local Presbyte'rian church Dr. Lane was sent out from Freemonf, before ' IN'nos H the local pulpit until a 1,1 i, nj ti:. regular jwaiui wum vc taueu. xnia was about a year ago, following the resignation of Dr. Seeman. . During this time Dr. Lane has become well ac quainted with his congregation and the city at large, and at the meeting tomorrow night, the question of call ing him permanently to this pulpit will be acted on finally. This will be the only piece of business to come before the congregational gathering but it is deemed very necessary that all at tend who possibly can. Hot Lake People Wed. A wedding occurred in La Grand this morninir in which two people who - have been prominently connected with THEATRE TO BE TORN OUT DANCE ACADEMY, MODERN AND NEAT, SUBSTITUTED. the Braves signing up three and Man ager McKune two. Pendleton gets La Grand's star battery. Homer Jamieson and Karl King, while Yakima secures Bert Fitcher, the ex-Spud speed mer chant, Phil Nadeau, the hard hitting outfielder and utility man, and Peter son, change catcher and utility play er. To make room for these new ac quisitions, a number of blue slips have been handed out Pitcher Dawson Catcher Jimmie Byrnes and Outfield er Joe Dougherty have been released by Pendleton and Pitcher . Jensen, Catcher Conroy and Outfielder Bill Reid have been cast into the discard by Yakima. It is reported that Manager Bade has signed up Harrod, the Baker man ager and third baseman, but the re port has not been verified. Whether or not any of the other Baker play ers have been grabbed up remains to be learned. . Local fans, while glad to hear of the signing up of two such high class men as Jamieson and King, will be sorry to learn of the fate of Dawson, Byrnes and Dougherty. Jamieson however, was figured to be more of a slable pitcher than Dawson, while Byrnes and Dougherty have not been in the best of condition lately due to injuries. The release of three with only two signed to take their places will cut down the expenses of the club, a factor not to be underestima ted. Jamieson is a splendid outfield er and he and Berger will doubtless fill the left garden hereafter. King will be the regular catcher and is credited with being one of the head iest backstops inthis part of the country. In addition he is a good hitter, an all-around utility man and is possessed of a fine throwing arm. Moose 'Celebration Near. The. members of Baker Lodge No.1 495, Loyal Order of Moose, are mak ing elaborate plans for the dedication of their new lodge quarters and club which- will not. be thrown open until1 July 3, although they stand practi cally completed now. The lodge ex pects to make a jig demonstration at the celebration on the 4th and : 5th and a conservative estimate is that 500 men will be in line in the parade on the 4th, many out of town lodges having , accepted invitations to- be present, including Portland, Walla Walla, Pendleton, " La Grande and other nearby places. , The lodge will have three 'floats in the "parade, one bearing a big moose, one of the finest specimens in the state, recently se cured through the efforts of C. C. Cox. This float will depict the Moose Children's home, and the others will show other features of the lodge.- The night of the 3rd will be Moose night, . and an ' entertainment, dance and. banquet will W given. 'At 10 a. m. on the 4th, the lodge will . take wart in the celebration and at 3 p. m, the new quarters will be formally dedicated and speeches will be made by F. C'Bramwell of La Grande, W. H. ": Strayer, F. B. Mitchell, Judge Smith, O. B. Mount and others of Ba ker. At 8 p. m. a grand ball will be held, the members having extended a general invitation to .their friends and a large attendance is anticipat ed. On the 5th the quarters will be thrown open to the general public for inspection and an invitation is ex tended to all to call and look them over. On the evening of the 5th will be the final grand ball and banquet The new home is complete in every detail for the comfort and 'pleasure of the members and as fine rooms as could be desired, but the mem bership is increasing and the enlarged quarters were necessary. ' .They, in clude, a reception room, buffet, card room, kitchen, bathroom, Turkish bath, two ante rooms and the main lodge room, which is complete in all its ap pointments, and . among ;pther things boasts an Orchestrian of the latest im proved type; The lodge room is carpet ed but arranged so that the carpet can be removed easily, giving a fine dance floor. The new quarters Were planned by C. G Levering, and he has also r done much of the Work himself, and a v, visit to the same shows , that he has done' the work well. Altogether, Bak er Lodge of Moose may feel proud and ' rest assured that none of the visitors f. at the dedication can boast being mem- ; uera ui a mute nvyij r thSt 495. ...
