VALE DEFEATS I NYSSA IN A GOOD GAME ew Baseball League Is Or I ganized, With All Home j Talent-Vale Wins First j Game. j A second Oregon-Idaho baseball feague has been organized, composing towns of Emmett, Payette, Vale &d Nyssa, all home players to be us- no paid players or imported base foil talent to take part. It was origi illy planned to have Weiser in the lague, but there not being the nec tary amount of baseball enthusi Ism at that point this season, the bague will he composed as above. I The first league game was played teen Nyssa and Payette the 23rd -"i Nyssa, Payette winning by a score 4 5 to 0. Last Sunday Nyssa played tale at Vale ami Emmett played Pay tte at Payette. i There was a fairly large attendance ijt the game here, although it had not been advertised at all, only verbal an aouncement having been made. Nei 4ter team was in good training, this being the first time the Vale boys had teen on the diamond this year. The pme was a good one up to the fifth aning, Vale having only one score and ssa none up to that time. In the bst half of the fifth Vale found the Sjssa tosser, and it was all a merry--round for the remainder of the Bssion, Vale piling up 13 scores and iilding Nyssa scoreless to the finish. Nyssa has the material for a good team and will doubtless show better k the season advances. fGooch, the Vale pitcher, had 13 Arike-outs to his credit, while the JJyssa twirler registered six. The er ror column filled up on both sides early it the game and became so congested ijhat the scorer was unable to follow tjkat portion of the contest to a ration al conclusion. t Tomorrow Vale goes to Nyssa and layette to Emmett. potashIen y GETTING BUSY I James II.

Sheriff's Office of Malheur County So Organized as to Cover Big Ter ritory on Short Notice. Malheur county being a country of magnificent distances and insuf ficient telephone facilities, is one of the most difficult counties in the state for the sheriff's office to adequately control, but it was demonstrated last week that Sheriff Hen Brown has the county organized in a way that brings as quick and effective results as can be had in this biir, rugged territory. A saddle was stolen from the I lone ranch near Jamieson and the sheriff's office was immediately notified. Sher iff Brown, knowing the thief would attempt to make his get-away to the north, phoned his deputy, Joe Win ters, at Miller in the extreme north ern part of the county, and instructed him to take the trail. Joe ran the cul prit down, arresting him at Hunting ton the next day and bringing him to Vale, where he is now incarcerated. George McAllister is the name of the prisoner and he is believed to be an old offender from Baker county. He claims to be only 19 years of age, but has a beard that would indicate 25. His record is beinpr investigated. COUNTY COURT INSPECT BRIDGE County Judge McKnight and Com missioners Weaver and Kelley went to Big Bend Wednesday, accompanied by Engineer LaPointe, superintendent of construction, to inspect the work of building the bridge, which is now un der headway.

Tip ton, the Enterprise man was driven in a buggy along the line of Cottage and Eleventh streets a few days ago, to inspect the condition of that sec tion of the city, it having been con tended by residents of the southwes tern part of town that they were prac tically marooned from their business during fcul weather. Cottage street passes along the west side of public schools, and is one street which should of necessity be provided with suitable sidewalks, but at the present time there are only a few disconnected walks on either side of the street, and pedestrians are com pelled to wade through mud shoe mouth deep to get to town, and the children to school. The old slough at the west end of the street forms a bog that almost blocks wagon traffic, and crossing the sidewalk line makes deep wading ev en for those wearing hip boots. Going west on Eleventh street, past the residences of Fred Gellerman, N. ('. Long and T. D. Tipton, the absence of a bridge across the ditch forms a pocket in which many automobiles and vehicles are caught, forcing them to either take a plunge in the ditch or back out, as it is is a difficult feat to make a turn in the narrow space be tween the fencing and the ditch. These people at the west end of Cot tage street and along eleventh voted to come in the city upon the specific understanding that they would re ceive the benefits of city improve ments by so doing, and they are cer tainly entitled to some consideration along these lines. This section of the city is building more rapidly than any other part of town, there being some dozen new buildings and additions in that one section erected this spring, the Boh na bungalow being one of the best in the west end. The expense to the city for the im provements asked by these people will be very small, considering the large number of citizens (some fifty) to be accommodated. They ask that side walks be ordered in and crosswalks NATIONAL MEN MAY COME TO MALHEUR CO. Committee of Appropria tions On Tour Through West to Inspect Irriga tion Projects.

IRONSIDE, Oreg., June 1 Westfall was defeated by Ironside on the ball grounds here Sunday, the score being 8 to 7, the full nine innings being played.

TEXAS CATTLE DOING WELL Albert Wilson, of Payette, accom panied by his son Edgar, were in the city Tuesday on their way to their cattle ranch on Dry Creek. A year ago Mr. Wilson bought some 150 head of Texas cattle and estab lished a cattle ranch on Dry Creek, which has been looked after by Allan Wilson, another son of the Payette stockman. They report that the cattle are do ing nicely in the Malheur country. H- has gathered enough hair pins from the floor of his automobile to start a notion store.

Not on your life, George, I am ar ranging to spend my vacation this summer at the Chautauqua, in Pay ette. Chautauqua, what's that? Well, wouldn't that get you, don't you know what a Chautauqua is ? No, Bill, I never heard of a thing like that. Say, George, instead of going up the Creek this summer and fighting the skeeters and flies, and living in a tent, where you have to put up with so much inconvenience, you just come over with us to Payette and take in that Chautauqua business, it's great; you know there's a company called the Ellison-White Chautauqua Sys tem, who have got together a lot of lecturers, singers, opera companies, magicians and brass band outfits, that started from the far east a few months ago, and they give a six and Beven days' program in 110 towns out here in the west, and they are a great ag gregation of the best talent that can be put together, and they are great stuff: if you were in Chicago or New York you'd have to put up at least $2.50 a throw to hear even one of them for an hour's program, and am going over to hear them; its fine dope and a chance of a lifetime, wouldn't miss it for anything. Well, say, are all your folks going with you? You bet! The wife and all the kid dies. Where are you going to stay? Well, George, that's easy: you know I've been going to Payette for a long time now, and I've never asked one those guys over there for a square meal, but they're up ag'in it now; m wife wrote to her 42nd cousin that lives there and just told her we were coming and to look out for us, and I guess they'll know when we arrive. Hut Bill, I ain't got any folks over there, whut'll we do if I go? George, do you think every houke has it beds full? If they have you cun rent a tent darned cheap and go out and kleep in the thade tree, and thut'd be better than the hills, any- SCHOOL TEACHER MARUIES Mrs. Grace Dickey, one of tho teach ers in the Vale High School, for the past two terms, were married in Port land, Oregon, May 25th., to Frank Dickey, a railroad engineer. It is understood that they will make their home in Ashland. RETURNS FROM HUNTINGTON J. D. Rogers, proprietor of the old Postoffice News Stand on Main street returned Thursday night from a trip to Huntington, Oregon, where he has been since the first of the month. Mr, Rogers was called to Huntington by the serious illness of his niece, who lives there. ANOTHER TEACHER MARRIES Miss Edith Meglassen, a teacher in the Vale schools, was married to Mr, W. R. Green, of Meridian, Idaho, at Caldwell, Sunday, May 23. Mr. Green owns a ranch ner Mer idian, where the newlyweds will make their future home. A bachelor has no business knock ing the divorce evil. Wotinel does he know about war? A man will do almost anything for the woman he loves except let her select his neckties. The mothers of Vale are invited by the Oregon Social Hygiene Society to meet at the Rex Theatre at 3 p. m. Monday, June 7, and listen to a lec ture by J. E. Snyder on sub jects of vital interest to the entire community, as well as mothers. AH adult women are cordially and earnest ly invited to attend. The evening meeting at the rooms of the Vale Chamber of Commerce will be for men and will be addressed by Mr. Snyder, Dr. Carl J. Bartlett and Rev. C. E. Helman. All men are invited to attend the evening meeting at 8:15 p. m. The Society is working for the ad vancement of knowledge and preven tion of disease. They have practical ly eliminated the quack doctor and his worthless nostrums from the State of Oregon and are now turning their attention strongly to the prevention of the "red plague" and the dissemin ation of knowledge leading to a bet ter understanding of hygiene and sanitation. Oregon has taken the lead in this as she has in several other important economical and political matters. Many of the most prominent physi cians, business and professional men. bankers and ministers, of Portland, are members of the society and all of their acts are carefully considered be fore being carried to the public. The legislature was so. well con vinced of the importance of this mat ter as well as pleased with the man ner in which the society had carried on the work, that they appropriated $10,000 for the purpose of helping the society reach outside communities. Neither does a political orator need to get much applause to get all his performance merits. Everybody admires a fine young man, but he takes on enemies after he begins to make money. Silence is sometimes the best defense. GOES EAST TO SCHOOL Millard Nelsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. T. Nelsen of this city, and who graduated from the High School in Vale at the close of the present term, left this week for Cincinnati, Ohio, where he will take a special school course. Millard is a quiet, industrious, com petent and thoroughly reliable young man, and has the necessary determi nation to make good in any line he undertakes. At the same time he is an athlete of more than ordinary abil ity, being a leader in football, base ball, basketball, and all the sports. Everybody is a friend of Millard, and everyone knows he will make good in anything he undertakes, for he is a clean, competent boy, with no bad habits of any sort, with a clear brain, an active body and plenty of red blood. Tom and Mrs. Nelsen will be a lone some couple during the absence of their big boy, but they are willing to forego any hardship to develop hia ability, and it will be a great benefit to the young man to be thrown upon his own resources as he matures into manhood.
