LOCAL FOOTBALL
HAS FLAT WHEEL
PRACTICE STARTS WITH A LIMP,
. AND GOES LAME. -
No "Dark Horses" Have Shown Up,
Making Local Prospects Ap
pear Discouraging.
Tho first week of practice for the
high school football squad failed to
bring forth any "dark horses" for
which the coaches have been hoping
mid praying. In fact, the wock's work
was a disappointment, there being
only nine out the first night, eleven
the . second, while Thursday only
brought out fifteen men, who, while
full of pep, lacked the size and weight
to make a team of any size and
strength. , . .
With the exception of Cnptain'Car-
roll and Jack Wright, veterans of last
year, and Leadbetter, who is being
groomed for a backf icld position, there
is hot a man in the squad who can tip
the scales at over 140 pounds. Out
side of throe men, Playle and Chandler
are tho only men with age and size
enough to be considered candidates
for the first team, and unless more
material shows up within a short time
tho younger players will htivo to be
used. The younger men will form tho
second team arid with a years sea'
soning and experience will be good ma
terial for a team next year. There
are several promising youngsters in
uie iuu
Wallsinger, McClurc, Ash and Ly
man will register in school Monday
and will be put through hard drilling
in preparation for the gome with tho
Alumni team next Friday. Absolutely
no prediction can bo made as to tho
caliber of the team this year, but an
other week's practice will give tne
coach a fair line on the material.
The Alumni team; under the guid
ance of Judy Ash, will practice a, cou
ple of times this week and will be in
good trim for the Friday game. The
exact lineup will bo announced later.
Owintr to tho lateness of registra
tion of older students In'.tho different.
schools throughout this section, Weill:
Walla and Pendleton are tho only two
games definitely scheduled. Boise may
be added to the teams played this
season, but owing to the several games
already listed for tho home field, this
contest would have to be played at
Boise in case the gnmc is scheduled.

explaining that hl8 work with Vila

"I mourn my father's loss very
much, as he lived for the spiritual
development of his family and loved

Some time ago a movo was put

a committee was chosen to settle
the differences between employe
ind employer during the war per
iod. It wus found necessary in
eider to make this organization ef

duty it would be to collect all da
ta, look after the details and act
as runner to secure labor for the
different Industrial plants located
In tho two counties.

LUMBER MILLS
PINK MANUFACTURERS MAY
HH FORCED TO SUSPEND.
I ir Producers Apparently In Plan
To Curtail Production
Of Pine. k .
That the Eastern Oregon pine
lumber mills nuiy fcol 'the stress
of war 'to mtch -nirTprten t that 'BIOS'
lug down must follow Is the lurk
ing suspicion in the minds of many
lumbermen, especially the fir pro
lan era of the Pacific Coast. -
To add to this possibility now
comes the representative of John
IJ Ryan, who has charge of the
uvroplano department of govern
ment work, stating that after Oe-t-
tc,r 1st no pine mills will work
on airplane parts, which takes the
fine industry off the necessary war
l)sl.
Behind all of this appears the
demon of selfishness again, for the
fir, producers love the pine manu
facturers only so far as they can
use thorn. Whon It comes to
"bringing homo the bacon" the fir
l'cople can always bo expected to
slnnd In close harmony and union
with oach oilier, claiming that the
lumber Industry in Oregon eoaBos
:il. tho Cascade mountains and that
the Eastern .Oregon pine is a lux
uiy rathc,r than a necessity. -
What It Will Mean.
Should tho possibility of pine
iiiMIii- closing como about It will
nicnn much to Union, Bakor and
Wallowa counties, tor In these
three counties there Is closo to a
million dollars a month shoved in
tl.e channels or commerce by the.
iiifferont pine, mills. It will, mean
the disrupting of organizations
diet have tnken many years to
uild, the loss of trade territory
which has been carefully nursed
nnd looked after at groat cost, es
toppage of earnings on legitimate
l,i vestment In tlmbe,r and plants,
nn.1 in a Ken oral way will tear
asunder tho commercial fabric of
Kai.tern Oregon.
As matters- now stand business
vith lumber mills Is vury good and
lumber is selling at a price which
justifies payment of the increased
cod nt production. But with the
proposition of not being an essen
tial Industry staring the lumber
men in the fuce, and the further
racl that the fir mills of the, coast
I ave, a hope to better labor condl-
ioni: there if pine mills aro closed
down, the outlook is none too rosy
tor tho men who have their money
invested lu tho pine forests.
