No greater nalf-miler or better sportsman ever, trod the track than Douglas Lowe. Slim and handsome, he as the picture of gracefulness In action. He had a tremendous stride but also superb form.

ThU time It Is the Jack Allen Owls, La Grande Independent basket ball team, that la voicing the above re frain. It's a sad story, to sav the least! Last night the Owls, fresh from a ' thrilling 43 to 42 victory over the Helix Red Devils, went to Union to play the Union M. I. A. a "practice" game, whu'v also would serve to ac quaint the Owls with the Union floor before their scheduled g.imt there Friday night with the Multnomah club. The "practice" part of the eime, however, didn't appeal to the M. I. A. outfit, and at the end of the second period the score stood 20 to 20! And in the overtime period Union scorvd three points and the Owl none. So today, by reason of that 23 to 20 defeat, the Owls are again on par with Helix, which lost a similar amc to Athena some time ago. and the Union M. I. A. has gained greatly tu prestiife. Secretary Wilbur Protests Slash In Supply Bill WASHINGTON. Jan. 27 vP) Sec retary Wilbur said Tuesday that the house appropriations committee had cut the Interior department appro priation bill "below the survival fig ure." He said he would bring his objec tion to tiie cut before congress, probably when the bill reaches the senate. "What the committee has done." he said, "is to tell us to hang our clothes on a hickory limb but not go near the water." The interior department, he said, cannot render the service expected of It under the appropriations outlined by the committee and It "merely means that we will have the overhead expexkoe of the various services with out getting any results." He added: "In the Interior department thl government has a great organ tzation which must move forward. While de ferments can be made there is no economy in stalling vitally necessary wivk."
