"Wood conies from Grant County and practiced there for several years before moving to Malheur, so that he should have a following in the north part of the district as well as in the home county. Wo also hear that W. Jl. Brooke of Ontario it threatening to break cover and i nter the race for the Republican color. If he should, there should be a i'vely battle for the Malheur County m ijor ity as well as that of the holt district. There seems to be no one or. the democratic horizon to run tht primary heat against Judge Bigg so ;far, but there are a numhi r ol strong attorneys of that . fait 1 in the district and there is yet .ime. No one lias made a forma! an notincement. in the commits onei stakes but it is rumored that tht encumbent, Frank Vines, will, 1 e ir the race again for the republican nomination, but no opposition tl reat tns at present.

Fans of all four cities are jubi lant over the organiation and are looking forward to many closely, well contested fcarus, as the baseball material in each town is limited and unless luck works over time, each team will" be in the fight at ehe finish. On April twenty-first there will be a league baseball dance given at the Ontario Opera House, the pro ceeds to be held as a purse for the league champions. "Tiie Entertainers," and Hunting ton Oithestra alternating or taking tuins at piaying, will furnish the music.

The single mealtitkets got away in the first for i nine run lead which they held until the ninth frame when His Honor, the Umps went blind and before he could get his glasses on the score was U ed.

Their entertain ment will be a genuine surprise full of fun in fact one solid half hour of actual enjoyment. The play, "Whiskers,'' takes the audience to a bride's iionie shortly before she becomes a bride. On account of a family quarrel Chester Phelps has not seen his millionaire uncle since babyhood. On the day Chester is to marry Mabel Adamsi, Uncle John comes to the bride's house disguised in black whiskers and asks permission to see the cer amony. Mabel's nunt Sara, hides him in a closet. Chester is evad ing jury duty and fears that tha sheriff, a "fat man with black whiskers," will find him. The rbfdesmaids think Uncle John is a burglar, after the wedding presents. Chester and the best man think he's the sheriff, and they gag and bind aim to prevent him interfering with the wedding. Aunt Sara rescues him and explains. Uncle John is ruffled, but admires his nephew's spirit. "I insist upon being allowed to give away the bride." Wedding march and general satisfaction. A cast of twenty-one live jazz-bos, all good looking and funny will en tertain their audience for 45 min utes. They are a real minstrel troupe, something doing every min ute. The program includes lively choruses, comic songs, solos, old plantation melodies, cake-walkers, clog dancers, and a combination- ol comedians. Their jokes are hot off the press, with a kick that any one can feel. A special feature not lacking in pop, is a character song, "I've got the Blues, but I'm too mean to cry." by Lotta Jazz and her chorus, "The Fashion Plates,'1 con sisting of Ima Swell, Peptone Jones, Ida Moneybags, and Insomnia John son.

The board of directors of tht Vale School District No. 15, have called an election for April 10th, to v'ote on the question of bonding the district for $0500 to retire outstand ing warrants given during the year. "The teachers have worked with nothing but warrants for pay for the last few months," according to M. 11. Doolittle, chairman of the board, "with no reduction in service, and we feel that they should re ceive some money for their effors. "If we do not bond the district to cake care of these warrants, they will eat up all the spring taxes and we will have to start the coming school year without funds, which will makq it very hard to obtain the proper instructors for the coining year, and will make the tax levy which is based on the budget many times greater than it will be if put .his indebtedness into long time bonds and spread. the payment over a period ' of years." v BIG BEND 10 CARE MUre MISS' JACOBS CALLED TO VALE MRS.
