ATTRACTION
Lostine celebrated Christmas by two
or three very interesting events. ' 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

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

Electric Line Files Deeds.
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.

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.

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.

Seal Estate Dormant.
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.
