' The elements did all that was possible to add to the attractions of the day. In fact the rain had laid the dust nicely in our little city, and the surplus moisture made it possible to establish water communication between various parts of the football grounds where Wallowa galue- and Lostine went in bathinir. Whie! The only casualty they were indulging in this sport they I sustained by i.. o nM.wi,. .,oaf)i serious but it V1JUIIKV'U a" u .UIU HUM VVIMVOVVU and Lostine kicked off. They retained the ball making rapid gains through the excellent run by Cook, and made the first touchdown in five minutes. In tho second kickoff , Shultz, Haun and Cook distinguished themselves, when Goodman forced a ten yard gain. Gains were steadily made until Lostine neared their goal. Here Wallowa made a determined resist arce and managed to delay the inevitable for a few min utes, but the second touchdown was foredoomed, and Lostine had gained ten points. There were cow bin a few minutes left of the first half, so there was nothing much doing in the third change of goals, In the second half the Wallowa prin cipal of schools, Professor Jc. nas, went into the game. This -Uffetud the backbone of the. losing side, and in fact did add a good deal of strength to their eleven. Jonas kicked off. Wallowa re tained the ball a few minutes, but it was impossible to keep it out of Loi- tine s clutches f r long, liy steady gains Lostine gradually forced the pig skin nearer and nearer their goal. Johnson of the Wallowa team was a reg ular hurricai e, doing valiant work for his team, but .once more tne ball was forced over the Lostiie goal for a touch dow n and a try at goal netted Lostine i six more points. In the next change Jonas kicked off, but through the excellent generalship of Fleener and tackling by Courtney, with other good plays Lostine t ad pushed the ball to within six yards of their goal line when time was called. Result of game 10 to 0 in Lostine's favor. Both s des had gained a great deal of Lostine's soil and as mush uiois ture as they could absorb. Lostine liue-up: Ii. Goodman, full back';G.

Dispatches from Walla Walla and Pendleton tell of the filing or 12 right of way deeds for the proposed electric railway southeast from Walla Walla. The dispatoh from the latter city states the plans "call for a line across the mountains to the- Grande Itonde river. It would then exiend down that stream to the mouth of the Wal lowa and thence up the Wallowa to the fertile Wallowa valley and the lake at the head." By the agreements filed the company secures a right of way 50 feet wide and in turn promises to construct and maintain an inter urban motor railway out of Walla VValla through the route secuied within two years time.

Mrs. Jane Martin, wife ot Chester Martin, died at the family home in Ontario, Saturday eight, after an ill ness of only 12 hours duration from lesion of a blood vessel in the brain. The deceased w as a daughter of Justice and Mrs. A. C. Smith, pioneers of this county, and her death is the first to break the family circle of ten children. Mr. Smith and daughter Mrs. Viola Johnson left Saturday "for - Ontario but of course arrived too late to see Mrs. Martin alive. Burial was at Ontario. Besides the husband, a grown son is left to mourn the death of beloved mother. Mr. Smith returned to Enter prise Wednesday. WMttier 6ins $500 Bond.

No par ticulars are ki town in addition to tlie complete ttory in last week's News Record, except that the' attack by Ray mora on. the Whittier f irmly was wholly unprovoked.

He was buried today, in the cemetery here. Vote Four Mill Levy. At a Well attended special school meeting of Enterprise district, held Sat urday afterncon, a four mill levy for 1908 was voted, the ballot standing 10 to 4.' A motion for a five mill levy was defeated by one vote. . Mrs. to. A. Holies, president of tlie board, was chairman f the meeting. There was a decided sentiment for a -low levy, through some mistake in fi uring'it having been given out that a two mill levy would provide sufficient fuuds. A goneral discussion showed the fallacy of that and a little figuring on the black board by Clerk Ickood proved that a four mill levy would only pay for the barest necessities without allowing for any increase ot facilities. One Train A Day. New time card went into effect on the O. R- & N. Sunday. The morning train from Portland is now due in In Grande at 0:45, an hour earlier. Only one train a fiay on r.iKin nun-H. ,-b Gj-aude about 8 a.m. The body of James Mahaffey was not brought out hut buried on the moun tain Bide above Rollii g Bar, not far from where he met his death by fallin over a cliff. Coroner E. T. Anderson and Deputy District Attorney Rusk returned Krid.iy. Mahaffey's death was purely accidental. He was walk ing alonz the edge of the cliff sh ooting at deer when he fell 100 feet headfore most, then bounced down the precipice until his body lodged in broken rock 150 yards from where it started. Alvin D' dson found him Saturday morning, The place of the accident was Webb canyon cn Bob creek Miss Zumwalt Recovering. Zora Zumwalt, who was found in a dazed con- it ion at the G. II. Vest home at 4 o'clock last Thursday morn ing, has been very ill ever since, being attacked with sinking spells that wVe feared Stinday night and Monday mom ing would end fatally. She was reported much better Wednesday. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Zumwalt, have been with her since last Thursday night, and a trained nurse is now in attendance. The News Record . was wrongly informed last week in stating the girl was Josie, it being the younger sister Zora. Rumors that she has here tofore had similar attacks are false. .Tidge Tibbetts, who accompanied her from the dance, was placed under $500 bonds Monday to appear before the cir cuit court, January 10. Judge Corkins acted as committing magistrate in the Ucnce of Justice Smith. Tib'ietts is a young man of excellent reputation and his friends are loath to believo he harm ed the girl. He denies havicg done so. Jay H. Dobbin, for whom Tibbetts worked for six years, spys he never knew Jidge to tell an untruth. Diamond W Coffee sold in 1 and 2 I lb. caus at E. M. M.

Daniel Boyd of the W allowa Law, Land & Abstract Co. says real estate was not as active during 1907 as in the previous year, principally because own ers wished to disoonnt the advent of the railroad. This nas especially true of town property: Owners of farms and town lots too are now listing their reilty at right prices and that is bound to sell it. Pali ill.400 Tor Butter Tat. The Wallowa Valley Cream company and its predecessor, the Blue fountain company, paid during the year 1907, $11 402.21 for 44.317.29 pouuds of butter fat or an average of 26 cents a pound.
