The following special from Wash- ingt.-m, D. C, to the Kant Oregonlan give an account of the departure of Mix Ada P. PM wards, a sinter of Ma. Jor Orville C. Kdwards. for this city, where she will enrage In the practice of law: , More than 15 friends gathered Sun day afternoon at the Baltimore A Ohio railroad station to give a sur prise "send-off" to Miss Ada P. Ed wards, a graduate of the Washington 5ollege of Law, who leaves the city to practice taw In Pendleton, Ore. When she reached thn station at 1:30 o'clock In company with her brother. B. F. Rdwards, of this city, she was surprised to see a large group of friends and schoolmates. She got u ..t tvclco.iiu, and the occasion Io'.-'a jii t.ie aspect of the farewell In cident to a bridal tour. The occasion was marked by an air tf sadness which had been assumed purposely by every member of the group, and this was accentuated when CharleN M. .Saxton stepped out f the crowd and began a carefully prepared speech of farewell. He told mt the profound sadness of Miss Ed wards friends In seeing her leave them and take up her residence 3000 willea away In Pendleton. When about half way through hlB little ad- ? s- s- Cough Syrup f Will cure that COLD I Tollman & Co. Leading Druggists dress he broke down with emotion. This was the signal for the rest of the group to do likewise, and in a Jiffy they nil drew out large, red bandannas, concealed about their persons up to this point, and began to weep mock tears of sorrow. Miss Edwards was not slow to ap prehend the meaning of the red handkerchiefs and Inxtantly the mock sorrow was turned to Joy, the fair lawyer entering Into the spirit of gladness, and evincing appreciation of her friends' effort to make her go ing awny ns pleasant as possible. Every one extended his wishes for her future success In her chosen pro fession and heaped her with tributes of fruits, candles, books and other' little things di'slgned 1o make her trip an enjoyable one. one meai ber of the group remarked that the mock ceremony was not completo, for they failed to bring along rice and old shoes. While In this city Miss Edwards lived with her brother, B. F. Edwards, a local business man. In Oregon she will live with another brother, Orville C. Edwards, who Is a United States Indian agent. WIM. BE tm YEA ItK OI,D. C. P. Blair Will Celebrate die Century Mark on December 29. On Fridny, December 29, C. P. Blair of this city, will celebrate his 100th birthday. Mr. Blair Is perhaps the oldest man In eastern Oregon, and bears his great age lightly. He resides at the home of his daughter, Mrs. M. N. Sawti:ll, at 618 Cosble street. He occupies a room on the upper floor and goes up and down stairs without difficulty. When it was suggested that a celebration of the century mark be held In his hon or, he opposed It and takes his re markable longevity as a matter of or dinary concern. I,A (iltANDK FAII.KO TO MAKE A MXfiLK SCORE. "Hie Only Touchdown of tin- fiamc Was Mario by Pendleton, Dnring the lmt Hnlf Iji Unindc'H Players Were Much die Heavier, But Were Outplayed Not a Score Was Made Purlng the First Half Itcturn t.nme Will Be llayctl New Year's Ihty nt This Place. By the above score the Commercial association football team defeated the "BeetgTowers" on their home ground yesterday. The solitary touchdown of the game was made during the last half on a long end run by Herbert Thompson, half back for Pendleton. Shortly before this the ball had been taken within one yard of the La Orande line by the Pendleton team. However, the La ttrande line then held like a wall, and for three straight downs Pendleton's best line plungers could not gain a foot. After losing it on downs, it wus punted back to wards the center by La Grande, und soon after being regained by Pendle ton Thompson got around the end for his run. A goal woa kicked by Htorle. During the first half of the game neither team was able to score. How ever, superior playing was done by Pendleton, and never during the game was their goal In danger. Although the La Grunde eleven outweighed their visitors by nearly 20 pounds to the man, the superior training and team work of the latter wa too much for them. The following was the line-up for Pendleton: Coon, c; Baker, and Hos- kins, guards; Lytle and Scott, tack les; Kelley and Stricklln, ends; Strand, quarter; Herbert and James Thomp son, halves; Storie, full. Officials Caylor und D. Goodman. Good playing was done by all of the Pendleton players, and It would be unjust to give the credit to a few. However, the most spectacular feat' ures of the game weie Thompson's run for a touchdown and a punt by .Strand. On a klckoff the latter caught the ball on the 30-yard line, and after running about five yards punted it clear over all the La Grande players, and the pigskin sailed across the line under the La Grande goal posts .thus making a touchback. On New Year s day a return game will be played here between the La Grunde and Pendleton elevens. An interesting match is expected, since Iji Grande will do Its utmost to' re deem the defeat received yesterday. Will Carry Mall and Passenger On Ihman Sprlns Iloute.
