North Powder, Feb. 20. (Sporting Editor ,.' La Grande Observer) We have noted with interest the dispute arising between the La Grande M. 1. A. and the Union Athletic club (Feds) over the club championship of East ern Oregon, and having interviewed ' Mr. Lorsen and Mr. Smith, the mana gers of the respective teams, we find that if the deciding game is played 11 must be played on a neutral floor. Therefore we invite the two teams to play the deciding contest in our hull. Should they do this -we assure them our heartiest support. The NortH Powder hall is one of the largest in Eastern Oregon, and will seat about 500. v Since both teams have played here this season, and are familiar with the floor, neither would have any advantage over the other.

Kainbow trout are now running in the Umatilla River but this season finds most of the sportsmen engaged in other lines of sport and very little fishing has been done. New Theory of Hygiene n ii - Quick, and practical response to imnnrtunt pronouncements of Scienti fic theory is characteristic of today. Formerly doctors and other scient ists usually knew things for a gener ation before the public paid attention. A fine illustration of the modern tendency is found in a general order to trainmen issued by the General Superintendent or the Onion Pacific System. This order warns against the overheating of cars and requires that certain temperatures be main tained exactly for the sake of pas senger's health. It is less than two years since a scientist made a eecieaj of experi ments which proved to medical au thorities that high temperatures were more injurious to health than. lacK of f:esh air yet here is this new and important theory already in prac tice and on an important scale. Following is the text of the order issued to trainmen by General Super intendent W. M. Jeffers of the Union Pacific Svstem: "All sleepers, chair cars and coaches oporated over the Union Pacific 1 : Lines are equipped with ventilating systems by which an adequate supply of fresh, air is pro vided. Cars must be well ventilated at all times and not allowed to become too warm, or' overheated. High temperature is more detrj. mental to health than lack of fresh air. "The following temperatures must be maintained during the cool season, "Sleepers: days 7U. Mights bU. do eiees "Chair cars and coaches: Days and nights 70 degrees. . Few travelers' . have ever found trains too cool.

Temperatures outside a train, in the winter time, have little to do with comfort inside. The whole question hinges on the ef- tiency which trainmen display in us ing the heuting and ventilating sys tems. Liven Up Your Torpid Liver.

Mr. Tonkin's report follows: 1 The deer sign in this county indi cate that the deer are more plentiful than for the past few years, but fewer deer than usual have been killed in the hunting season of 1915. 'We hud a very dry fall and the bucks seem to e growing more alert and shy. 'There are few places now that cannot be reached by the automobile parties and mor0 hunters are in the hills each succeeding year. It is estimated that fifty deer were killed in this county during the past season. Only five hunters wero known to have killed the limit; very I fow got two. and several reported no ! success at I Several hunters from oi cne county wno nafl seen deer dur ing the season wove questioned as to the numler and sex of the doer that they hud seen and also asked their opinion regarding the hunting luws. The forty-two hunters thus questioned saw four hundred and Khii'tv.fnm, deer, one hundred and thirty-seven of.! which were deer with horns and the remaining two hundred and ninety scven were does and young deer. They killed twenty-six bucks. Some hunters contend that there were too many does in comparison with the number of bucks and that the killing of at least one doe in a season should be permitted. That is what led ino to question the hunters and find out if possible, something up on which we could base our estimate of the comparative number of the two sexes. Umatilla county now has about 110 elk, 90 of which ore native elk rang ing in the hills in the southeastern part of the county. Many of the elk that were liberated in the northeast ern part of the county hnve left for haunts, of their choosing. It is be lieved that the action of the State Fish and Game Commission in offer ing $100 reward for conviction in elk killing will nearly, if not quite, per fect the protection that has been giv en these animals in this section.

The occupation most dangerous to the soul that of peraonul service has not resulted for the people of France In fluukyisui on the one. hand and su perior airs ou the other. There Is something In the poise) and motion of French working girls,, in tbeir fearless eyes and vibrant voices, that suggests a fluid and mobile social structure which deepens the impres sion of rigidity in the life across the channel and beyond tho Rhine. French people of the more favored classes are never heard bemoaning the decay of a "proper" servant class. On the con trary, if you speak to them of 'the striking contrast between the French proletariat und that of other countries theirs so natural aild gay, the others so humble or so: sullen or both they Instantly expand with pride. "Exact ly!" they exclaim. "Our brnve French people: .lust as good us monsieur, as mudaiiic, but also no better!" The status of the French domestic derives In part at leuxt from the weight of responsibility under which she 6ervcs. For her mistress Is neither a careless housekeeper nor an Indifferent mother. It, Is precisely because the French woman loves her children so ar dently, so romantically, one might say. and because her quick, intelligent grasp of material situations makes lier an excellent econopiist at home that she requires and establishes lu the house hold not a common servant, not a "mother's helper," but a woman of In telligence and character,' a woman oft en young and untried, but with the true ring, who Is or soon becomes ca pable of assuming direct responsibility for tiie care of the children and the house a woman who deserves and re ceives the consideration due to the head of an importunt department iu the management of the family life. French children are notoriously spoil ed. The little mouarchs are kept ou a pedestal well Into the age.of moral re sponsibility. Father, mother, all-the older relatives, vie with one another In admiring and Indulging them. With this understanding of the term and scope of the child's autocratic rclgu, one can- afford to laugh ut turbulent scenes In which be puts to rout every adult in the house except his bonne. At the mere sight of her tho little des perado begins to quiet down. He is in tho presence of the only person who has, so fur, exercised nny rational uu thorlty over him, the person before whom he feels the beginnings of shame nt doing wrong. . . The bonne is the most Important per son In the family group, so fur as its material well being is concerned. And morally, spiritually, she is a true mem ber of the family. It is not for nothing that the word "bonne" means ."good" as well as "nurse." It may be that the prevailing good rclution between masters and servants n Franco has a very simple explana tion simple and yet profound. It may be that it springs at bottom from the warm affections of the people. They cannot live without love and senti ment. Belter than any other people they know how to keep alive the ro munce of friendship, of love und even of that Inherently bad relntlWn, master and slave. , The French servant who has no fum- lly ties and often the one who has throws her whole heart und soul into the family life of her master and mis tress. She must love she must serve she must be loved. And the French muster and mistress understand. Each one idealizes the sentiments of the other. n a word, the romance of the situa tion grips them nil. French literature Is crowded with examples of mistress and servant whose intimacy shows no race of condescension on the one side or of servility ou the others. J. Fran ces Cooke iu Now llepubllc.
