Crook County High.
The Crook County High School
brought, to very atifctory end
ing, ill first real season in football
in the game with The Dal lei, Fri
day, November 17. To be sure,
the game wan not a victory (or the
home team, but all things consider
ed, the C. C. II. 8. showing this
year give great promise lor the
future.
It was an excellent day (or. the
game, but the ground was very slip
pery owing to the heavy rains of the
week. This made fast play im
possible, ltut the large crowd that
thronged the side lines was treated
to an exhibition of straight foot
ball that excelled anything of its
kind ever before seen in this
section of the state.
The visiting team waa composed
largely of veterans, sortie of whom
have played for the past seven
years in high school teams and
nearly all have known tne game

Unit was prophetic of the dtxr

whittle blew announcing that the
game was on it was a battle royal,
until the last down. For some
time the outcome of the game wa
very uncertain. The locals show
ing stronger on offence, while the
visitors were a tower on defense.
The littlo (iod, victory, hovered
hesitatingly over the Geid, moving
first toward one goal, then the
other, until near the- close of the
first quarter, when one of The
Dalles boys intercepted a forward
pass that had gone wild because of
the slippery condition of the ball,
and raced for a touch down, he
oared away to perch upon the
goal that flaunted so gaily the
crimson and gray of the visitors
and despite the pleadings from the
sympathizers on the sidelines and
the herculean efforts of the home
team, then he remained culm and
serene until the end of the game.
The rivalry between the teams
was very knuen and the piny wns
unusually fierce but free from
fouls. Only a few penalties were
inflicted. Capt. Myers came into
forcible contact with the fist of one
of the visitors and carries a black
eye as the result. If this act wns
intentional it cannot be too se

will take bucIi an underhanded ad

nevor be allowed to enter such con

For the locals Roy McCallister

the bright and shining stars, both
on offense and defense. Lawrence
Lister also did excellent defensive
work. Capt. Myers out punted the
visitors. Each man in fact did ex
cellent work and did credit to his
school. The result of the game
is inexplicable. The Dalles car
ried the ball for a total distance of
fourteen yards more than the
locals but this difference wai more
than equalled by the longer punts
of the home team. The Dalles
showed marked superiority in re
turning punts but the ground thus
gained could not have been re
sponsible for the twenty points of
jtho visitors. The teams were
evenly matched and should have
played to a standstill, but fortune
smiled on the visitors at every
turn. This is evidenced by the
fact that they were able to pcore
hut nine points against the lUnil
team, while the C. C. II. S. defeated

In the evening the students
gave the visitors a royal reception
at the high school. The hall and
two large rooms on the first floor
were most beautifully decorated in
the colors of the two schools.
Never before had the old building
presented such festive appearance.
All memories of the afternoon's
struggle were forgotten while the
vanquished were exerting evory ef
fort to make the stay of the visit
ors in the city in every respect a
pleasant one. After a short pro
gram consisting of extemporaneous
speeches by Mr. Coe, Mr. l?rewster
and various members of the team,
the time was Bpent in games, inter
spersed by visits to the large
punch bowl in the hall where some
of the charming high school girls
held sway.
Then the company filed into the
adjoining room and were treated
to a luncheon of sandwicheB and
coffee. The company separated at
a late hour with a wish that such
occasions might be enjoyed more
often. We hope to Bee The Dalles
in Prineville again in the near
future.

DEFINITE SURVEYS BEING MADE
The Cross-State Line Will Con
nect with the Oregon Short
Line at Vale.
After announcing the intention
of the Harriman interests to
build an east and west line across)
Central Oregon, providing land
owners do not hold their proper
ty at figures that will prevent
the state from securing desirable
settlers, Judge Robert S.Lovett,
chairman of the board of direct
ors of all the Harriman roads,
last night predicted the dawn of
a bright era of relationship be
tween the people and the rail
roads, says the Oregonian.
The east and west line across
Oregon is receiving more serious
consideration from Mr. Lovett
and his associates right now than
at any time since the death of
Mr. Harriman.
'We are making definite sur
veys to determine the final loca
tion of that line," said Mr. Lovett.
We have surveyed it several
times, but are going over it again
to determine- what, if any, change
ought to be made in the original.
"We are doing some construc
tion work on the east end of the
line. How fast we will proceed
will depend upon a number of
conditions. One of these is the
attitude of the land owners in
Central Oregon. That is, whether
they are willing to put their land
on the market at prices that will
attract settlers or whether they
will prepare to discount railroad
facilities in advance and whith
hold their land from settlement,
demanding prices that will pre
vent the development necessary
to justify a railroad.
"I don't mean to say that we
will proceed with construction at
a rapid rate now. because many
other conditions are to be taken
into consideration.
"It must be remembered that
we have a great deal of work in
progress which calls out a vast-
amount of money. We have got
to cut our coat according to the
cloth."
The cross-state line will con
nect with the Oregon Short Line
at Vale on the east, and will pass
through Malheur Canyon, the
rights of way for which recently
were secured by the Harriman
interests by an agreement with
the Hill roads, who had some
claims in that section.' Judge
Lovett said last night that wheth
er this road will connect with
the O.-W. R.& N. system at Bend,
as had been reported, has not
been determined.
"The development of the rail
roads and development of the
country by the railroads, he
continued, "rests with the peo
ple. "If the railroads are treated
justly, fairly, they can develop.
If they are treated unjustly and
unfair'y and are hounded by un
fair laws and unequal advantages
under the law, then they can't
develop.
"My own opinion is that the
people are awakening to the fact
there is no quarrel between
them and the railroads and that
they have more interest in the
