BOTH BALL GAMES
Beat Warrpsprlng Indiana In Baaeball
Arid Basket Ball"Retiir'n
Game Saturday
v Tho 'MaUra'i tennis won Vdth garnes
,p!ayed'with the Varmsprthi? Indians at
the agency last Baturday, tnc uaseunn
Ufain from this place defeating tho In
dians by a Score of lb to l) in ah eleven
inning game, and the piria' nasKci-i.nn
team from the Madras, school defeating
t.o .mi-Ib' at tbo Indian School by a score
oflGto. 10,41 . f?n.K
niui were greatly enjoyed .by the large
crowd bf Bpectators, many of wbom
Wfntfrom Madras and vicinity to wit
ness them.
The baselmll game, which was played
first, was a crackinggood game and was
bitterly contesteU fr'dnl the time gamo
was called until the last man scored.
The two teams were evenly matched
and at the end of the ninth inning the
score was a tic 7 to 7. Neither team
scored in the ,10th innings but in the
11th the Indians, who came to the bat
first, got in two runs. When Madras
came to the bat the first two men were
struck out, but the team rallied alter
jbat, and wllh several safe hits managed
to get three men across tbe ho.tne plate
before the final out was made, giving
the jiame to Madras by one score. Sup
erintendent Covey umpired the game
in a very fair and impartial manner.
The basket ball game was also a spir
ited contest throuchout, both teams
putting up a good game. Tiie Indian
girls were a little confuBed by what had
been their erroneous interpretation of
one of tho rules regarding a foul, and
this placed them at a slight disadvan
tage, bftt they played a good clean gamo
of basketball. Professor W. It. Cook
umpired this game in a manner very
satisfactory to both teams.
t ppt. Cfl.yey Qf the jyarjjipprin.g reser
vation' and, the other inenibpre 9 the
very eflicieht government cbrpa at the
agency, spared no pains to make the
occasion a pleasant one for the visitors
and the members of the ball teams and
their friends who accompanied them
were greatly plenped at the hospitality
shown them. In the evening an enler-
tainnient was given Ht the Indian
school followed by a concert in the
dining room by the Indian hand daring
which refreshments were served.
A large crowd from Madras and vicin
ity attended the games, and many
stayed over for the w entertainment in
tho evening. CharleS Smith, the ferry
man on tho Deschutes, estimates the
crowd which crossed "the ftvry from this
side at fully 150.

ROAD FARTHER SOUTH
Portland. Or.. May 20 While llarrl-
manis filling and backing and tying
l.imo1f m in local knots with tiirt pro
posed Deschutes railroad, I he ownera of
the Great Southern, the lino running
West of the Deschutes from The Dalles
to Dtifu'r, arc preparing to go ahead ex
tending their line South into Central
Oregon.
President John Heimrich of the fareat
Southern has returned from an inspec
tion trip over its route takon with E. B.
Spaulding and M. P. Smith, capitalists
rjfSookane. durinc which they drove
over a considerable portion of the couu
trv. both In tho direction of Tych Val-
Jey and the Juniper Flats, South of Du-
fur. As a result of this trip a crow of
surveyors will be started out the first of
next month surveying routes into Tygh
Valley and into the timber towards
Mount Hood. Mr. Heimrich stated this
morning that ono of the two routes
would be selected and grading would be
done next Winter.
If the Deschutes road is built it is evi
dent that it will takeaway much of the
business that now cornea to tho Great
Southern fioiri . the country East Qf the
Deschutes river and the decision to ex
tend the independent road is probably
an effort to forestall any such move on
the part of the Harriman line.

ClVE I LOTS FOR SCHOOL SITE
Tho Sladraa Townsito Company has
donated to the Madras school district
eight lots surrounding the present loca
tion of the school building for school
purposes, and the lots will be deeded to
the district at once. The present site of
tho school was selected several years
ago, at which time tho townsite
company agreed to give four lots to the
district, but through some oversight tho
lots were never deeded. This oversight
was discovered recently and Mr. Rea,
secretary of the townsite company'
stated that they were ready to deed the
lota at any tlfno. However, as there
was some discussion at the timo bl the
advisability of changing tho location of
the achoolhome it was thought best to
wait until this question was disposed of,
and since the directors hnVn iIpM.!!
build the now schoolhotise at theBanie
location tho townsite company agrees
to donate eight lots, bo that the school
may hate ample recfeation grounds.
