One of the Most Exciting Games

$ The ball game Friday afternoon of
last week, between the New Plymouth

the most exciting finish of any game
ever played in Vale.

the first inning and held their oppo

THREE LIVES LOST IN
BANDON WRECK.
Schooner Randolph Upset by Very
Large Breaker While Attempt
ing to Make Port.
Bandon, Or. One passenger and
two members of the crew of five ot
the gasoline schooner Randolph were
drowned when the vessel capsized Just
off the bar here. Of the three remain
ing members of the crew one swam
ashore and the other two were takon
from the engine room alive, one hour
later when the boat washed ashore.
R. E. Knorr, a druggist of Gold
Beach; Milton Cox, of this city, cook
on the boat, and E. L. McConnell, of
Langlois, Or., manager and part owner
of the craft, were the men who lost
their lives.
The Randolph was attempting to
make port here when the accident
happened. When about 300 feet out
side of the jetty she was hit by a
breaker that keeled her over and im
mediately following this came one
which capsized her.
C. H. Anderson, formerly of the An
derson and Gwinn ranch, and family
returned from a trip to Los Angeles
and the San Francisco fair. Mr. An
derson made the trip from San Fran
cisco to Vale, via Sacramento, Red
Bluff, Sisson, Klamath Falls and
Lakeview; 1019 miles on gasoline
$19.70, oil $3.00 and without a cent of
expense on repairs, not having to
pump up the tires on the trip.
"We had a splendid trip," said Mr.
Anderson, "and we are all ready and
willing to go back. The exposition at
SanFrancisco is certainly a wonderful
sight and Oregon is splendidly repre
sented. Our Malheur exhibit is fine
and well cared for. I must say, how
ever, that we are not well represented
in the way of literature and specific
information. There are thousands of
inquiries every day, more than ten
men can answer, with no literature to
hand out. This condition should be
remedied as soon as possible."
With the O. W. R. & N. and Short
Line refusing to offer a reduced fare,
it is very probable that a majority of
the visitors from the Malheur country
will arrange for the Auto trip to the
San Francisco exposition. A party of
five can save half the fare by going
in an auto, in addition to the increased
pleasure of the trip.
Mr. Anderson proceeded to Boise
Friday last where he is at present residing.
Vf. W. Howard, the new county ex
pert, arrived in Ontario last Friday
and took charge of his work Monday
morning. Mr. Howard graduated at
O. A. C. last year and has just com
pleted a post graduate course at Ames
College in Iowa. He comes highly
recommended and has taken hold of
the work here with an enthusiasm that
is sure to win.
W. R. Shinn, who recently resigned,
has not decided where he will locate
but is considering some offers in the
middle west.

The following from the staff cor
respondent of the Boise Capital News,
appeared in yesterday's paper:
VALE, April 29 The athletic teams
of the Vale high school have won 14
games in succession, which constitutes
what is perhaps a new record for the
high schools of eastern Oregon and
western Idaho.
First, the Vale high school football
team won three straight games. Then
the basketball team here won eight
straight games, and now Vale's high
school baseball team won three
straight games. The first ball game
was with Fruitland's high school team,
which Vale won by 12 to B. The sec
ond ball game was with Payette's high
school team, Vale winning by 8 to 1.
The last game was with New Ply
mouth's high school team, which Vale
won by a score of 7 to C. Vale plays
Fruitland next Friday.
Tuesday of this week was clean-up
day in Vale. The school children
cleaned up the schbol grounds in a
very thorough manner, following
which school closed for the day and the
children cleaned up a large portion of
the town.
One hundred and twenty-five trees
have just been planted on the Vale
school grounds.
Professor Ruring was re-elected
superintendent of Vale's schools for
the ensuing year. This makes five
consecutive years that Professor Rur
ing has been elected to this important
position, which he is filling with much
credit to himself and to the schools
here.
The weather clerk had forgotten to
pull off the annual equinoxial storm
this year, and hurriedly pulled off the
stunt Thursday afternoon and night.
Beginning with a soaking rain, fol
owing a few .days of most sultry wea
ther, the temperature gradually drop
ped as the wind veered to the north,
till the rain turned to snow, and a
characteristic Texas nor'wester fol
lowed, lasting for several hours during
the early hours of yesterday.
What the effect will be upon crops,
fruit, late lambs and early shearing
cannot be told at this time, but un
doubtedly many ill effects will follow.
However, the water coming at this
time, when so seriously needed, will
no doubt counteract the evil effects
otherwise resulting.
The clean-up campaign begun in
Vale last Tuesday has added to the ap
pearance of the town in a wonderful
degree, but much more concerted work
of all the citizens is needed to make
Vale the City Beautiful which Mayor
Davis had in view when he issued his
clean-up proclamation.
This year will see the greatest
movement of tourists through Vale
that has ever been known in the his
tory of this city. Those tourUU are
already beginning to arrive in auto
loads, en route from eastern points to
the great Fri-co exposition. Other
towns in Oregon, Washington and Cal
ifornia are busy with the paint brush
and rake, and Vale is now in line. We
have the natural advantages that oth
er places have not, and we start with
a town easily beautified. Let us make
Vale the City Beautiful that she is
entitled to be.
Governor Withycombe has set apart
May 4 to May 11 for a clean-up and
paint-up campaign in Oregon. The cit
izens of Vale should keep the rake and
paint brush busy during this entire
campaign period, and make this the
cleanest, prettiest and most presenta
ble city along the tourist line of travel.
