Caldwell is Easy Winner The football game last Saturday between the Caldwell and Vale teams was a good exhibition, although the score was all on one side. The Caldwell boys were too heavy for the Vale team, and all our home boys could do was to hold the score down as far as possible. The loss of George Taylor, Cook and Nelsen was also very evident as the game pro gressed, although Charley and George Glenn and Carsten Mueller were able to make some headway in line buck ing, even against the big odds in weight and experience. Jack High makes a splendid showing this year, and with a little more experience and work the team will give a good ac count of itself before the season is over. The Caldwell boys are a fine lot of players, everyone a clean sport, ready to take a victory or defeat with equal grace. No better and cleaner bunch of young men has ever visited Vale, and all will be glad to have them come again, either individually or in teams. COLLEGE BEEF CATTLE BRING TOP NOTCH PRICES EASY SAILING BY BART Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis, Oct. 11. Kansas City market reports mention the unusually fine quality of three car-loads of Short horn steers, finished for market on the Oregon Agricultural branch sta tion farm at Union, marketed this fall. "The three car-loads of steers eceived in the local markets aver aged 1397 pounds and sold at a lump rate of $8.80. Considering the lengtn of time they were on the road and the distance traveled they were in remark ably fine condition. Robert Withy combe was in charge of the shipment which numbered sixty animals. For 115 days one car-load was fed on alfalfa hay straight through, the second car-load on alfalfa and five pounds a day to the head of rolled barley, and the third alfalfa the first half of the feeding period and an ad dition of 10 pounds of rolled barley a day to the head the last half. The second lot showed the best gain in weight, slightly more than two pounds a day, while the others gained just two pounds a day. MALHEUR COUNTY WATER PERMITS Vale Hunters Home Again During the quarter ending July 31, 1915, the State Engineer issued 152 permits for the appropriation of water under which it is proposed to irrigate 23,143 acres, develop 352 horse power and construct 15 reservoirs. These permits will require the construction of 210 miles of canals and pipe lines, and an estimated expenditure of $891,- M. E. Thayer, Frank Glenn, I. W.

Blackaby, of Ontario, were indicted by the United States grand jury at Boise last week on a charge of white slavery, being charged with enticing Edith Smith, of Boise, to come to Ontario and es tablish a house of prostitution. Both the indicted men were sum moned to Boise and arraigned before the United states district court Mon day, entering a plea of "not guilty." They employed ex-governor J. H. Hawley to defend them and a demur rer to the indictment was filed. The old Ontario Hotel, owned by Lees and Blackaby, was leased or rented to Edith Smith last fall, she coming from Boise to take charge of it. The house became so notorious that it was finally raided by the Sheriff's officers, the proprietress found guilty of conducting a house or ill fame. She was fined $300 and Lees claims she applied to Blackaby to pay the fine and that he refused. At any rate she went to jail rather than pay the fine. Recently Lees and Blackaby brought suit against her for $300 rent, and the case was tried in the circuit court in Malheur county, resulting in a ver dict against Lees and Blackaby, the evidence in the case being nauseating ly nasty. When the United States grand jury met at Boise, a requisition was sent Co Malheur county for the testimony taken in the case of Lees and Black aby against Edith Smith, with the re sult that both men were indicted for white slavery, on the charge of having been instrumental in bringing Edith Smith across the state line for im moral purposes. The United States District court has been busy with the trial of Fong Yum, a Chinaman, upon a similar charge, and upon the completion of this case the Lees and Blackaby case will probably be called for trial.

BROGAN PEACHES TO NEVADA MARKETS BY WAGON ROUTE In speaking of his trip to Nevada recently, with a load of Brogan peach es, S. J.
