A,
If you are building this year specify elec
tric lights. It is safe to say that 90 per
cent of the houses built in La Grande this
year will install them. No home is modern
without them. They are as important as
sanitary plumbing.
Good lights are equally important, how
ever, if you happen to live in a rented
house. Your landlord owes it to you, and
you owe it to yourself to have nothing but
the best light. Electric lights are easily
installed and will prove a source of lasting
satisfaction to you. Call or phone Main 34.

Opening Game in Wallowa League
Played Sunday.
Wallowa, Ore., April 21 (Special)
In a very -closely contested game
Enterprise won honors over Wallowa
in the opening game of the season
by a score of 4 to 1. The game was
exceedingly even till the seventh inn
ing when, on account of three errors
in succession on the part of Wallowa,
Enterprise caused two scores to be
marked on the score board. Wallowa
also picked up courage in this inning
and put one man over home plate
while two died on bases. In the next
inning Enterprise also put 2 more
scores to her credit making the total
sum of four scores. The game ended
with a tame finish as the Wallowans
could not reach the mark set by their
opponents. Enterprise outclassed
the locals in batting. " The line-up
was as follows: i
Wallowa James.c; Hayes, p;
Schilke, lb; Beaty, 2b; Niel, ss; John

Not a Very Big Bluff.
There Is a story of n mnn from out of '
town who came to New York and fell
not among thieves, but liars, fie Us- j
tened to tbe tales of those who haled !
him about tbe city, and they came at
last to Spuyteu Duyvll. Tbe Palisades
were pointed out to htm. and he heard
that the Hudson river scenery was tbe
most beautiful In tbe world. He turn
ed away and was not Impressed.
"But," they renioustrated. "those
bluffs of tbe Palisades are 800 feet
high!"
"Well." he returned sadly. "I've
learned to know thut that Isn't a very
big bluff In New York."
The story does not gy n from there,
