liMselinll loiiriuiiiii'iil in connection
with the celebration will lie held In
I'rineville bciiniiiii; m the lirst ot
.Inly and c o n 1 1 n a I n x over the
Fourth. AiTaiineiiicnts for a series
of Raines are heinn' made Ii.v thelu
cal haseliall club and it is believed
that there will be nothing to hinder
a siicccHsful culmination of the
tournament which would lie wit
nessed by a large number of mem
bers of fandoin interested in 1hc com
peting tennis.
Madras has already signified a
willingness to enter the tournament
and will have a team here ready for
play on the first of July. Kurt her
arrangements will be made during
the coming week. If possible, for I!ed
moud to compete in the series and
an effort will also lie made to secure
a team from haiillaw or the western
part of t he county I o till out t he Us! .
It is quite possible, too, that. Ante
lope will be asked to send In Its crew
of ball tossers for the tournament.
The 'iocul club feels confident of se
curing three other county teamit
aside from the I'rineville team and
with tills number finally agreed up
on the schedule of the four days'
playing can lie definitely arranged.
A sum .'iggregaling ."IM) will lie
sel aside for the purses, and this
amount will be divided into equal
portions for the contesting teams,
the winning team taking, of course,
the larger per cenlage.
When it lias been ilelinilely ar
ranged as to tlie number of teams to
take part in the tournament, tlie
schedule will be so dra wu that each
Irani will be given an opport iinily
to play against Ilie others, (he two
teams winning the largest number
of games playing a final game for
tlie championship.
The tournament will probably he
gin the Sunday before the Fourth
which falls on Wednesday and will
be held In connection with I he
Fourth of July celebration which
will be similar In detail to the one
held last year so far as known.
Do Candidates Nominated Have to
r:i . tl . i . I
rue toeir Acceptances
Ho candidates nominated for ollice
ai t lie J line elivl ion have to tile their
acceptance'.' This iw a question
which 1ms considerably piiz.led coun-
I ty clerk J.J. Smith and one which
the contradictory and puzzling dins-1
primary law does not clarify.
'I'lie provisions of the latter relative
to the matter are vague and seem
ingly contradictory when taken in
connection with tlie general statutes
governing elections.
Candidates who tiled nominating
petitions before the primaries were
required to pledge themselves to ac
cept the nomination if chosen, ami
not withdraw licfore election, and it
is seemingly useless that they file
another acceptance. However, such
is called for, and out of an abun
dance of caution many have filed
notices of acceptance while others
have not.
t'nder the general statutes it is
possible those who have not tiled ac
ceptances maybe left off the ticket.
It is stipulated in tlie law that when
nominations are made by political
parties or assemblies, acceptances
must be liled within :tu days of elec
tion, while those nominated by in
dividual elis'tors have until within
15 days of election to lile their ac
ceptances. The direct primary law
lias nothing to say regarding tlie ac
ceptances made under any circum
stances fur! her than Ilia! contained
In I lie nominating pel It ions them
selves. To be on I he safe side, county clerk
Smith has caused to li prinled on
tin1 ballots the names of all those
uominaleda! I lie primaries, so there
will be no complaint coming from
any quarter unless some unwilling
candidate for ollice should happen to
lie burdened Willi a niajorily of voles
and thus be elected loan ollice he
does mil want. I'rohably before
another election under the direct
primary the conflicting andcoulra
diclory la w will have been remedied
in this respect as well as in others
whereat present-it shows a weakness.

ment Above Ground
Action was taken last week on the
petition asking the county court
to provide a new court house, and if
any one of I he bids submit tied in re
sponse to tlie call which is now be
ing published is accepted. I'rineville
will be the home of one of t lie hand
somest structures in eastern Oregon,
and one costing in tlie neighborhood
of fiO.IHNI.
The petition acted upon Is the
same one tiled over a year ago and
which was laid aside fur further con
siilerallou. lu tlie lisl of signatures
appears the names of nearly Kill tax
papers, among them I he heaviest In
the county. The Wlllainelle Valley
it ( 'asi-ade Mountain Wagon lioad
Company, which pays annual taxes
in excess of $ 10,11110. is among I he lies)
on the lisl. and Die bala nee of na incs
are those of property owners lu east
ern, western and northern t'rook
county.
According to the plans ami speci
fications as drawn by arehliecl,
the proposed structure will be l wo
stories in heigh! with I he basement
above ground. The basement will
be built entirely of si one, I he two
upper stories of brick with si one
trimmings. The plans arrange for
the jail and heating plant in the
basement and lire proof vaults for
I he records.
l)u tin- lust Hour arrangement is
made for the sheriff and clerk's
oflices, ollice of I he assessor, re
corder's ollice, county coiirl room,

tract for the new building, the old
building will be moved to other
ground and will eventually be con
verted Into a hospital and poor
house for the care of the county
charges which eaeli year are increas
ing in number. The new building
will be erected on the site of the old.
but will occupy nearly the entire
square block, a large part of which
is at present in lawns and shade

ing will come from I lie local quarries
and the brick will probably be
burned In I he yards west of theclly.
Ball Tossers from Irrigation Town
Defeated Sunday 10 to 4
I'rineville 111;
Redmond 4.
The jolly, laughing, good-natured
bunch of ball tossers from the Irri
gated district took their rirst Honk
ing last Sunday at the hands of the
local team when Itailey allowed
them only a few scattered base hits
and struck out IS men. They didn't
feel hurt about It, took their defeat
good iiatiiredly, and are ready and
eager to try again.
Following its usual custom of
either winning or losing agameat
the start off. the locals won last
Sunday's game In the first Inning
wheu, after two outs, Spauldlng
and Zeek both swatted the spheroid
for a circuit of the bases, Spauld
Ing's drive scoring Ford who had
reached third. With two more ad
ded in tlie second, tlie dividends
standing 5 to 1 at the close of the
third, the local team contented Itself
with watching llailey's performance
as one Redmond bat terafU'ranotlier
went down liefore his mysterious
shoots.
Redmond wored one In the third
and would have been held to that
score but for Steffa's wild throw
from right Held to third which let
Hire' more men go home. Afterthat
disastrous inning a series of goose
eggs took regular place on Ited
luoud's score card.
Heed pitched a good game for Red
mond, lint hard luck followed lilm
fii an tlie slarl ami his support was
a tritle ragged at the times when
different playing would have made a
material difference in the score.
There Is not a pour player In the
lledmoud team and I'rineville will
liud t he Irrigators (lie hardest team
to beat during the present season.
The locals will leave next Satur
day to play a return game Sunday

lotally lost.
Mr. mid Mrs. Shaw occupied separ
