The games scheduled with Lostine and Wallowa High schools have been cancelled on account of the scarlet fever in those two towns. This team, although defeated in its first games, at last raised its points till it now stands 44 points to the good. The defeats were due to the want of practice and a coach. Read, captain, at right forward, heads the list in points, having a grand total of 81 made In five games. Cramer, at center, ranks second in points, having scored 20 in three games. Skaggs, manager, at left for ward, made a score of nine points in 4Vi games. French has a total of 8 points in Z games; Emmons and Brines at rg and !g secured six points respectively. Emmons play 3d 5 games and Brines 3 games. Berry played at center the first game and although he guarded well he failed to cage the ball. Read at foul basket shooting is ' a marvel. He caged 5 straight at Joseph, and 16 out of 18 at Enterprise. The games played are as follows: W. C. H. S. vs Joseph H. S. TV-22. W. C. H. S. vs Joseph H. S. .2022. W; C. H. S. vs Cove H. S. 1821. W. C. H. S. vs Wallowa H. S. 416. W. C. H. S. vs Lostine H. S. 4415. The team had 86 points scored against them, while they scored. 130 points, giving them a total of 44 point to the good. This is the teams first yeai at basket ball and if it plays together next year there is no doubt but that it will rank as the best team in Eastern Oregon, Candidates for the base ball squad have been " getting in shape, the past two weeks, and much good material is being developed. Almost all of last years team laj on hand and with careful attention to Inside work' of the game, combined with steady team work, the prospects for the school having a fast and snappy team are excellent, and some good games may be looked for. Plan To Aid All Northwest Fruitmen Systematic Method of Distribution Is Plan Of Walla Walla, Conference. To work out a systematic method of distribution for handling the $10, 000,000 fruit crop of the Northwest Is the purpose of the plan adopted at the horticultural conference re cently held in Walla Walla. It was attended by representatives of the leading growers of Washington, Ore gon, Idaho and Montana. They made considerable progress in forming a tentative organization which has1 been referred to the separate localities for approval. Heretofore, the various districts, all of which have a common Interest, have been In competition with each other. Frequently the re sults have been disastrous. Some markets have been glutted, while oth ers were overlooked. This condition grew out of the fact that the grow ers have let the situation handle them, instead of they handling the situation. It is not intended that the proposed central selling agency shall operate In restraint of trade. Us purpose is to advance the inter ests of the grower and consumer, bringing them closer together, by el iminating middlemen. It will bene fit the dealer by reducing speculative uncertainties. That Howard Elliott will not leave the Northern Pacific for the high of fice tendered him with the Gould lines. Is good news to the Northwest. President Elliott has always been a resourceful force for the advancement of the Northwest, being one of its best boosters. His long association with this section has given him practical knowledge, the loss of which would be felt. The Invitation to take charge of the Missouri Pacific la a high compliment to Mr Elliott's ab-! liity as a railroad executive i " I The Northwest Development Con - gress will be called into life in Se-j attle next September. The Seattle Commercial club has Invited all com mercial organizations In Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming to send delegates. Ways and means to promote the development of the Great Northwest will be considered. It is to be a mammoth boosters meet ing. At the same time, a carnival will be held for the entertainment of the visitors. President Taft will be invited to make an address.' ELK MOUNTAIN.

After a care ful and exhaustive study of market conditions in the Pacific Northwest during the past eight years, Presi dent Harvey Beckwlth of the Port land Commercial club makes the startling statement that prices paid to farmers for eleven different arti cles of food, all necessities, advanc- ed 31.4 per cent between April, 1902, and October. 1910. and he backs un his statement . by quotations from market reports published in Portland during that period. "These figures," said President Beckwlth, "indicate that Portland ia a high priced market for farm pro duce, and the high prices are direct ly chargeable to the great increase in consumption over production. The demands of a rapidly growing popu lation have more than kept pace with the increase in the quantity of essential foodstuffs sent to mark et by the farmers of the state, and this condition! lfc one that is not like ly to be changed for a long time, If ever, and the situation is. a very inviting one to the producer. "In the table of prices submitted are two items to which I desire to call particular attention-r-eggs and poultry. There i& no good reason why the Pacific Northwest should not produce eggs and chickens enough to fully supply the local demand and thus relieve the wholesalers from the necessity of ordering carload af ter carload from the Middle West. There is absolutely no danger of overproduction In these lines, in. fact there is little prospect that the sup ply will ever exceed, or even equal, the demand. ' "Let us assume that there are 0000 farmers In Oregon and that at the present time each farmer Is keeping an average of 20 hens. It is prob ably fair to estimate that each hen will raise, during the coming summer, a brood of ten chickens and during the balance of the year will lay 12 dozen eggs. The chickens should cer talnly be worth CO cents each when ready for market, and the eggs will sell at a minimum price of 25 cents per dozen, a total of $8.00, and the farmer still has the original hen. An addition of only one hen by! each far mer, on this basis, will amount to $4C 000 annually and, if given the time and attention this important indust ry deserves, the net returns: from: the poultry yards of the state may) eatrffy exceed those from the wheat fields."

Nothing To Compare With Old Wallowa , The Chapman district has a "Boost er club. At a recent meeting of the literary society, the following vers- es entitled "Advice to Homeseekers" were read and so much appreciated by the boosters of that community, they were sent to the county paper for publication. The poem was writ ten by Edgar Woods: From Snake river to Rondowa You can search our country through. And you'll find that old Wallowa Is the best that you can do. Lands there be that are more level And more pleasant to the sight, But 'tis here that livestock revel In bunch-grass that's out of sight. It is true that there are drawbacks, But please show the land to me Where we find that naught is lacking And from all discomforts free. True the squirrels are bad in summer But we're only passing through v hat each part of all our broad land Underwent when still but new. Then the nights are cool and pleasant, When the grain we have to reap, When all day we've nobly labored We can rest in peaceful sleep. And we have our snow in winter: t . il . . .. j-nBieii iu ins jingnng Dells While the shouts and merry laughter A world ofapture tells. And our scepery for its grandeur Rivals any in the land: Many leagues you'll have to travel Ere you find one half as grand. When you travel o'er our county, See its rivers, lakes and streams, See the crops we harvest yearly, xou will bide among these scenes. Lake Wallowa is as pretty As you'll find 'neath Alpine hills. While the climate here will cure you VI a multitude of ills. While the streams that flowing seaward Clear as crystal, cold as ice Harbor trout, and juRt the angling is lor you the only price. So if you perchance are looking For a place to settle down Here's the place to try your fortunes And success will be your crown. CHURCH SERVICES. Catholic: Rev. Father Heuel will conduct mass and preach a sermon at tl:e Enterprise church at 10 a, m., Sunday, March 20. Everybody Invited. I BUREAU WORK TO HELP HAVE IMMIGRATION COMMISSION ER BUT LOSE APPROPRIA- TION NEW SETTLERS Portland, March 14 Officials, of the Oregon Development League, who had worked for the passage of the bill providing for a state Immigration commissioner, were non-plussed when Governor West announced he would veto the measure. They succeeded, however, in Inducing him to change his mind by waiving any claim to the $25,000 appropriation the bill carried, so that the law will give the state the benefit of the United States Im migration Bureau work In placing de sirable immigrants on the Oregon lands. Lacking the necessary appropriation to carry on the work, public spirited citizens of Portland will shoulder the expense. The passage of the law will at least provide for state indorsement of promotion literature that shall be Issued to attract immigration and this will make this matter authora tlve so it will carry more weight and at the same time guard against boom er matter. This will be for the bene fit of the whole state and not any section alone. A state book, showing Oregon's advantages, will be issued under the seal of the new commis sioner. The first organized party of set tiers, to come to Central Oregon by the new railroad now In operation into the interior arrived during the past week and took possession of the Baldwin ranch of 30,000 acres at Hay Creek which they have bought. There were twenty-five In the party, which traveled la Bpecial car from the East. The newcomers will be gin the development of their prop erty at once and the big ranch will be cut up Into email farms in ord er to bring It up to the maximum of production. ' Tom Richardson father of the Ore gon Development League, who was active for years la publicity work in this wtate, has accepted an Invi tation to vlfllt Baltimore from March 6 th to 20th, at a large salary, to ad vise the Greater Baltimore Commit tee and assist in raising a promo Hon fund of 500,000. This money will be used in bidding for trade in the South. Mr, Richardson will re turn shortly to Oregon, but will make addresses In a number of Eastern cities this spring. A suggestion comes from Polk county that people of the whole state might adopt with profit. A family recently came there from the East, bought a farm and intended to live there permanently. After a time they sold their land and returned to the East. The reason was that no body visited them, their neighbors did not seem to know of their exist ence and the newcomers quit the state In disgust. The Dallas Item izer has the right Idea when It says: If you want newcomers make them feel at home." Recent events illustrate In a strik ing way the advantages of the Ore gon climate. The first was. the plant. Ing of roses in Portland parks on Washington's Birthday, and the sec ond was the Multnomah club swim In the ocean at Gearhart. Such stunts as these call attention to the mild winters of the Northwest and attract people here from the frig Id East. NEW 8AW MILL AT LOSTINE. W. W. Winning, Lindsey Hammock and John T.
