PENDLETON GIRLS WIN BASKETBALL GAME FROM LA GRANDE TEAM 18 TO 9 The Pendleton high school glrla' basket ball team last night defeated the La Grande high school team by the score of 18 to a. The game was hard fought from the first to the last whistle and 'the result doubtful un til the second half was well undsr way. The Pendleton girls took the lead early In the first half and were never headed, but the lead was so slight until late In the last half that it was either team's victory. The Pendleton team only held its lead by Its great er amount of fight, every Pendleton girl that played showing a great amount of that quality. The La Grande team on the other hand could not keep the hall out of Pen dleton's territory and was forced to take the defensive most of the game The entire Pendleton team showed up well under fire, the team work as well as the fight being good for this early in the season.

A new station and I yard office are in the budget for 1917 and will be constructed early in the spring. Other Improvements will follow as soon as possible. The cause for the contemplated en. largement of the plant Is due to the heavy freight business, which makes the present yard Inadequate. Dur ing the month of August this year 30,000 cars were handled at the Rleth terminal. The average of 1000 car dally made It necessary to empty the yards three time dally. mi AAA 1 il t "k courage to exhibit discontent over our feeble, vacillating war conduct. He occasionally attempted to tell the people the truth, but was always honied down a unpatriotic. Last week Lloyd George found hia colleagues' torpidity and self-satisfaction Impossible. He decided to smash the party machine. Events made him premier. He wanted Bonar Law, a Scotsman, ap pointed. He had no personal ambitions. The British people were greatly dissatisfied with the politicians' handling of the war since the begin ning. Polltlc'ans refused to see the and was held securely by the hind leg. Not wishing to kill the animal. Mr. Jewet undertook to get into its good graces. No sooner had he touched It, though, than it butted him so hard that, to save himself, he was forctd to grapple with It.- He suc cteiied In twisting It off its feet, and hold it while his companion released Its foot. As soon as he let the doe up. she chnmed and butted him amidahip. He bad to put her down again. She re pealed her tactics when he released her the second time. This time he took to his heels and the animal fol lowed, butting him every few jumps. It was not until he and his compan ion had downed her and carried her some distance and had then taken to their heels that the animal decided to give up the chase and betake itself to the hills.

Lloyd George turned against the pol iticians with the assistance of Bonar Law, and Sir Edward Caraon, both holding opposite political views. If Lloyd George had left the govern ment and precipitated a crisis a year ago the war would be greatly ad vanced. Law, Carson and Lloyd George have produced a miracle. They have formed a government within a few days. Lloyd George did the greater part of the work himself. He Is constantly called the "Little Welshman" here, but he is not little. He is a Celtic genius of energy and in tense Industry tiynbined. COUNTY INSTALLS LIBRARY FURNITURE Equipment for the Umatilla coun ty library is to be provided without assistance from the city government. Upon this subject County Judge Marsh today said; "Very satisfactory terms have been made by the county court for install ing the new loan desk and remainder of the shelving in tbe County Library building. It is expected that the work v.lll be completed within the next wtek. "This settlement also prevents any opportunity that the city library' board or city mayor might otherwise take In the future to threaten removal of part of the furniture as they recently threatened removal of certain books. "This makes the county of Umatilla the sole owner of the central county 1 brary building, the site and Its en tire equipment. The county also owns and has been given the custody of oyer 90 per cent of the twelve thous and volumes now being administered fiom the central and branch librar- 1 ies." ii w it to say when or where tbe pictures were taken other than that they were taken while the man was in prison.

NO TRACE YET OF OTHERS Believed Men Are Hiding Out for a Few Days Some, Reports From Different Sections May Ijead to Clews. Steve Gunis, the Greek, is the first of the four escapes from the county jail to fall Into the clutches of the officers again. He was apprehended at La Grande this morning when he hopped off of No. . Sheriff Taylor and his deputies have had men on the lookout all along the line ever since the Jailbreak and this morning received word that a man answering the description of Gunis had boarded No. 6 at Kamela. When Xo. 6 pulled into La Grande, the of ficers of that city were awaiting him. No definite trace of the other three men has been found. Sheriff Tay lor does not think they were with the Greek from the time of the escape. Some reports have come In from dif ferent sections that may be clews, but the officers think the men may be hiding out for a few days. In making a hole in the jail wall, the men used an old pair of scissors to start the first brick. The stick of wood was probably used later in loosening tho other bricks. The men sang as they worked in order to drown out the noise of their work. As they frequently sang no significance was attached to the singing at that time. SPECIAL FOOD PRICE PROBE BEGINS NEXT WEEK IN BIG CITIES WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. A special grand jury investigation of the high cost of living will begin next week In Detroit, Chicago and New York. Special Assistant Attorney General Anderson is making the arrangements. WASHINGTON. Dec. 9. It is learned that the grand jury investi gations of food prices probably will start in Cleveland. Kansas City and Minneapolis soon in addition to the Detroit. Chicago and New York probe. Attorney General Gregory has offici ally approved the plan. He tele graphed the federal attorneys, order ing Immediate preparations. The New York Inquiry is principally al leged to be a coal conspiracy. Presi dent Wilson probably will approve the plans Monday. CHICAGO. Dec. 9. Produce prices climbed despite the government offi c'als activities who are pushing the food probe. The butter decline was checked and a raise is expected. It appeared likely a housewives boycott is the only method of halting the rise. Railroad embargoes failed to cause lower prices. All embargo orders ex empt perishables. Federal officials continued their in vestigations and planned to suboena twenty wholesale grocers, and jobbers to testify before the grand Jury next neck. The district attorney may pre sent an anti-trust bill to the state li gislature. The bill will probably fol cw the general lines of the Pennsyl vania and New York laws. District Attorney Clyne announced his intention of investigating the bankers who are suspected of supply ing speculators with large sums to enable increased manipulations. He said. "Somebody was going to get caught." He asserted bankers ad vanced money to warehouse men who finance speculators. PRICE OF EGGS IS SENT DOWN PORTLAND. Dec. 9 As a result of a housewives' boycott the wholesale price of eggs has dropped from fifty-two to thirty eight cent.

It is reported many poultrymen face a serious situa. tlon as a result of their inabil- ity to sell eggs. fffttefw wwvwf)w ECONOMY WATCHWORD OF UMATILLA MAYOR "We will give Umatilla Just aa economical an administration as it is possible to give," declared Mrs. E.

Editor East Oregonian: I enclose you copy of a notice I have sent out to all adult Indians be longing to the Umatilla Indian res ervation, which Is, principally, self explanatory. Approximately 1000 allotments were made in 1892, aggregating about 75,000 acres of agricultural land, and there remains about an equal area of grazing and timber land held by the tribes in common. The In dians have been discussing for sonn two or three years the advisability of allotting the tribal land to the children born of allottees since the first allotment work closed, and the sentiment Is divided, though perhaps the majority of the Indians favor al lotment. The commissioner, of Indian af fairs has now directed a council to test the sentiment of the Indians, and I for that purpose the council is called. The census of our Indians shows 1151 belonging to the reservation, of which 27 are not allotted. The tribal land I nas oeen useu uy ine miliaria in com ! mon for the past 15 years for gras I Ing purposes, and the timber has , been used by the Indians for fuel. fence posts, etc. Yours respectfully.
