Q NEW TIME CARD 1 ROAD INBOUND TRAIN NEARLY THREE .HOURS LATER iRUNNING TIME SHORTENED. t Beginning last Sunday morning a new time card went into effect on the branch,by which the time of the lucoming train at Enterprise is 6 p. m. Instead of 3:45 as heretofore. Why the change was made, the lord and the schedule makers only know. It inconveniences everyone who patronizes the train, and certainly was not made necessary by' any main line change3. Under the new sched ule you are bound to lay over in La Grande from 6 to 20 hours no matter in what direction bound, east or west on the main line, In or out from this county. Everybody is kicking over the idiotic change, but they should re member the high-salaried schedule makers have to do something to earn salaries. The only persons benefitt ed are the hotel and restaurant men of La Grande. The new time table has the In bound train leaving La Grande at 12:45 p. m. or threa hours later than heretofore. It leaves Wallowa at 4:45 and Enterprise at 6:00 p. m. or two hours and a quarter later than before. The running time from La Grande to Enterptlse is shortened three-quarters of an hour. The train is not scheduled to reach Joseph uii'til 7 p. m.

Best Play Of The Summer Season Zaza Well Re:eived By Large Audi- . . . i on:e nunaway iviaicn Saturday Night. The rain and worse threatening storm kept the audience at the opera house Friday nlih: to small propor Hons, but those who ventured on' were well repaid by hearing a very funny farce, Are You An Odd Fellow? .'it was a laugh from start to finish. The best play tnd the best played of any production of the summer season of the Ethel Tucker Stock company was presented to a large audience Saturday night. Zaza is the leat objectionable of the so-called 'rob!em plays, and adde- from the French view of that which for want of a truer name. Is called love, the piny Is clean and carries a mora! protuberant enough for an English audience. MImm Tucker was clever, at times fascinating and at all times Interesting in the title role. Her support was go:d, Mls Mandeville was sprightly and natural as Alice, -Miss Heatou played we'.l the ungraci ous part of Za.a's aunt, Miss Brown the double role of Floiianne and Mme Du Fresno, and Adllne Fuller that of Za.a's maid. - The actors, one and all, appeared to the best advantage of the present engagement, and little Whit Brandon was as clever as ever. One Performance This Week. The Ethel Tucker Stock company will give but one performance in each of .the thres towns this week. Tuesday night they played Zaza at Wallowa, and will present the same play at Joseph Friday night. Saturday night, the company will present at the Enterprise opera house :he famous three- act farce-comedy, ''A Runaway Match." There Is more genuine, healthy comedy and humorous situations In A Runaway Match than in a half dozen of the so-called farces. So good is It that the situations, speeches, laugh provoking complica tions have been stolen and worked over into more plays than any come dies except Mollere's. Those who are not afraid to laugh and want to be really entertained and amused for two hours should not miss A Runaway Match Saturday night, Sept ember 28 PRAIRIE CREEK WON TWELVE INNING GAME Prairie Creek won an exciting, well played, 12 Inning game from the Enterprise second team on the local grounds Sunday 'afternoon by a score of 7 to 6.
