Tho Wallowa Signal is urging that steps bo taken for tho construction of a wagon road from Wallowa to tho mouth of tho Grand Hondo river to Assotin, in Washington Territory. It says tho proper development of our resources demands another outlet than tho one wo now have, and tho most convenient and practicable route leads to one of these points.

The first, day of the tournament found tho following clubs, viz : Maker City, Pendleton "Stars," Iioise City, Grando Hondo and North Powder leg istered at various hotels in Maker City, each feeling confident of earryingaway either second or third, if not first money. Much disappointment was manifested by the large number of lovers of the great national game in attendance, at tho non-appearance of the Waitsburg and Arlington clubs, but they consoled themselves with the thought that five good clubs were on the programme, and that everything bid fair for the clubs represented to show consideiable skill in handling tho ball and bat, as each seemed deter mined to win, and that their friends at homo should not be ashamed of them. The Maker City and Pendleton clubs had imported batteries, while, the other three were composed entirely of homo talent) notwithstanding which fact the first mentioned clubs had to get in and do their best in order to do the other boys up. KIIiST DAY. The first game on tho programme, and the one in which the fewest errors were made, was between the Moito and Maker nines. Mr. Cannon, tho catcher for tho Moise boys, established a good reputation as a baseballist, ho being fully as good a catcher as the one im ported by Pendleton, and the beat all round player in tho tournament. The game was hotly contested throughout, as will be seen by the following score: 1 2 M o (1 7 8 !) Moise 0 0 100000 12 Maker 00 1 0 10 1.1 .1-7 The next game of the first day was set for 2:!10 p. in., and was between tho North Powder and Pi ndleton nines.

Grande Hondo and Maker City were on the lii-t for the morning game. In the first inning Maker scored f runs, but the boys from Grande Hondo held them level fur tho nst of the game. Matott of tho G. It's, did some ollective work in tho box. Smith, who is as good if not a belter pitcher than any m attendance, was unable to play in his position, on account of tho condi tion of his arm, and had ho been able to take his place in the box, we pro diet tho result would have been differ ent. Tho following is the score: 1 2 :i 1 5 0 7 8 1) Grande Hondo 0101221110 Baker 5 1 1 U 1 0 1 11(5 In tho afternoon tho Moise and North Powders came together. Tho playing was loose on both sides and tho score run up high, standing 18 to 13 in favor of Boise. Tho only distinc tion the N. P. boys received during tho tournament was in this game, and con sisted in one of its members making an earned homo run. The ball was landed wit :out tho limits of the grounds and the base runner had safely passed tho homo plate long before tho ball was in the diamond. THIIID DAY. The Pendleton "Stars" and Grande Ponders came together in the morn ing, and although tho latter club worked nobly, thu former "done thorn up" in good shape. During the game friends of the chain in the grand stand became too euthusiablie and tho result was a row, which, however, was amica bly sotted befoto any blood was shed. The s oie of tho game is as follows: 1 2 .'! 1 f. 0 7 8 1) Gram le Hondo 2 2 11 0 0 0 1 010 Pondloton. ... 2 II 0 1 2 I I 5 "18 Th second game of tho day camo wTntuiio O'ckfck lAwmi tbu North nines.

The former took the lead from the start and defeated the latter by a score of 11 to 1. The G. H. club done some excellent work in the game, few errors were made. Tho ba'tcry consisted of Matott and Foster, who established a reputation. Levy made a fine fly catch. The score is as fol lows : " 1 Grande Hondo 2 Moise Citv 0 2 3 1 it (5 7 8 0 0 3 3 3 0 2 1 1 1 1 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 LAST DAY. Sunday morning found four of tho Moiso nine on their way home, not withstanding they were booked for a combat with Pendleton at U:30. The remainder, gentlemen us they were, de termined not to disappoint the expec tant spectators, secured the services of three from the N. P. nine and one from the G. H., viz: Shaw, Deacon, Stewart and Sloeinn, and were on the ground at the stated time, in uniform. The game would have been won by the Moise's were it not for a mistaken decision of the umpire, which he after wards admitted. The score stood 8 to 0 in favor of Pendleton. At 3:30, the game of tho tourna ment, between Maker City and Pendle ton, the heretofore successful clubs, commenced, the lesult to decide who should carry away the highest honors and the first prize. Pools sold tho night before two to one in favor of Ma ker City. The grand stand was packed and a string of people from 1 to S deep stood in front the entire length of the ground. Pendleton took tho lead from the beginning and their friends were over-jubilant as was shown by tho way they "yelled" and threw their Harrison and Cleveland hats in tho air. It was the closest game of the tournament, as will be seen bv the score: 1 2 3 -1 5 (5 7 8 9 Pendleton . . . . 3 1 1 0 -I 2 0 JO 112 Maker City. ..1 010 0 0 0 8 1 11 The boys of tho various clubs are loud in their praise of the treatment they received in Maker City, each citi zen of the town seeming to have been a committee of one to look after the interests of the visiting clubs.
