their object being to see the moun

come. They will travel about 65
miles in the round trip, and "expect to
be gone three days. Their first night
will be spent at the Stanley station
and their second night, according to
Dlans. will be at the Bear creek ran
ger station. Each man will carry his
own provisions.

Total of Sixty-nine Points Rung Up
By Home Squad.
Smothering the Wallowa five early
in the game and hitting a clip from
the start that landed them 69 points,'
the La Grande high school quintet last
night came a step nearer to Eastern
Oregon championship honor. Some
thing like 25 points was the sum total
of the visitors. So complete was the
victory that after the first five min
utes the home team had taken a lap
the lead,, and added to the score by a
whirlwind attack. For a while the
locals had trouble getting away with
the batoff, for Wallowa's field work
is versatile and up agoing, but as the
game progressed, the La Grande
guards and forwards snowed their
headwork and took the initiative with
the toss of the ball. Once La Grande
had gotten the upper hand at the bat-
off skirmishes, the rest was easy for
Coach Beaty's men could do nothing
to halt the avalanche of scores. Car
py and Schofield were the principal
point getters for La Grande, Carpy
ringing the bull's eye thirteen times
and Schofield twelve. Both showed
good improvement in basket shooting,
the one weakness a week ago. '
As usual the' whole team "hopped"
to the game with a vengeance and
again convinced their admirers that
La Grande has never had a team with
anything like the speed, judgment and
ability that the 1914 team has. James
was Wallowa's best point getter and
was really a formidable character on
the floor, but Couch at guard and
Keefer were good running mates with
him. , McKenzie had a decidetfly had
night of it and was taken out late in
the game. The visitors were out
classed from the first jump but fought
gamely to the end, tearing into a los
ing proposition in the last half with
improved fashion, but the faster Wal
lowa traveled, the faster the shrimps
from La Grande reeled off their plays.
Union plays the Wallowa team on
their home floor tonight.

Basket Ball Notes.
In an effort to again meet Union
and play off the rubber, offering to
olay either in La Grande or on
Union's much despised slippery floor,
the M. I. A. A. five has sent a letter
to Union in hopes of closingnegoti-
ations. Both teams has a victory to
its credit, and the M, I. A. A. wants
to do the fair thing and attempt to
play the rubber. An answer is ex
pected from Union in a few days. The
letter was prompted by an article in
the Oregonian a week ago that the
Union team ha3 defeated all comers
and claims the championship.
PLAN AS IT WOULD APPLY
ROUGHLY SKETCHED.
Several Farmers Have Taken up the
Discussion at Length. -
, Several farmers of the valley are
contemplating the feasibility of
floating bonds to build hard-surface
and - permanent roads. The scheme
is still in the embryo and nothing de
finite has taken place. A. V. An
drews has been assimilating the pro
poganda as several of the . farmers
have discussed it with him, and the
plan they set out is something like
this:
The bond issue would necessitate
about $500,000 at four percent To
take care of the principal and inter
est a tax levy of about $36,666 would
have to be raised yearly. At the
present time the levy amounts to
$40,000 and is expended . for road-
building and bridge building. The
results of this money do not show as
they would if the county went at the.
project in a systematic way and
built roads with a vengeance for a
number of years.
' It will be seen therefore that the
proposed scheme would lessen the
tax for each year and would in time
put into the treasury of the county
the sinking fund for the redemption of
the bond which could be loaned at
good rate of interest. This scheme
would aften ten or more years
sen the tax levy or would supply the
county with enough money to build
several additional wile of hard sur
face roads. .
; This ' money would . enable the
county to do about the following in
the nature of building roads. Fig
uring on the basis of a road ten feet
wide we would have some 5866 square
yards to the mile at a cost of $1.50 per
yard would make the cost per mile
$8799. With the available $500,000
tha rntinfcv wnnM ha .naLJ t k..iu
immediately about 57 miles of hard ' i
surface roads. Whereas, if the county fl
uaeu mij available money collected as
taxes each year and expended for the
construction of hard surface roads it
would be enabled to build this mile
age only at the rate of about four and.
one half mile? per year.
But there is another phase to thi
story ana it is this, if the county
launches out upon this scheme the
state will contribute enough money for
lateral roads which in the end would
bring the total number of miles for
the county up to 75 or better.
S s j
Directors of the automobile associ
ation have agreed to petition the
county court to expend the county auto
license money now amounting to about
$500, in wages to men for loading
gravel on the wagons of farmers who
are graveling the road between here
and Hot Lake and between Island
City and Cove. The teaming will be
done gratis by the farmers, and the
only expense connected with the
building of these stretches will be for
the labor in loading the wagons. The
county has promised to buy the
powder.
Gravel is being hauled from the
pits in the hill south of town and
from the river bed. It is estimated
that this process o road building will
serve the purpose very well in ' this
section, on account of the good foun
dation of soil which in many places is
full of gravel and sand on the bot
tom. It is likely that the plan will
appeal to the county inasmuch as it
will be some of the cheapest road-
building that can be done.

A plan is afoot to have an assistant

been discussed in that capacity and
it is possible that the directors will
turn the detailed work over to him.
Can't Sell Game Fish.
Local game wardens of the state
have been notified by the state game
commission that hereafter the sale of
any kind of game fish, whether they
were caught within or without the
state, tagged or untagged, will be
prohibited in the state of Oregon.
his order is now in effect.
So far no complete negotiations
have been entered into between the
La Grande high school and Union
over a game that will actually settle
the scholastic championship of East
ern Oregon. Neither team will have,
unblurred rights to the laurels un
less a game is playedpaper cham
pionship is always dissatisfactory.
La Grande fans are confident the lo
cals have the best team, and on the
other hand Union has a five not to be
sneezed at. The loss of Goodbrod is a
heavy loss but that Is a part of snorts
and though deplorable from Union's
standpoint should not interfere with
the game. Both teams shold make
