C. M. Plylcr opena his summer en
gagement at the Tygh Valley Fair
e-rounda on Saturday night of this
week with Jame Oliver Curwood'a
great story, "The Wolf Hunters."
For the benefit of those who, by
any chance, have never read Cur-
wood's thrilling story, It is a narra
tive of the northwest and a young
"mountle" who for a time is the
pawn of fate.
Here you see the Royal Northwest
mounted police In action as they act.
Sergeant Steve Drew, played by Koa
coc, Is detailed to arrest his own
sweetheart and does it with the stoic
lm and devotion to duty for which
the "mountica" are internationally
famous. He also has the difficult
task of straightening out hi young
brother's love affair and In addition,
it is his duty to arrest a gang of
notorious and desperate fur smugglers.
He succeeds In all of them, but
not without rare action and excel
lent acting.
The main event of the evening will
be a pavilion dance, for which
Rorick's orchestra of The Dalles, will
play. As the pavilion has been en
closed for the colder weather it will
be comfortable for the dance. As
a special added attraction Mr. Piyler
will give away a beautiful

compared with the "pep . of the .

man was out the oeore stood 12-D in '

In Maupin's half our player ran

Raymond Crabtree each marking one

"Pep's" next try they got a man
around as far as third, but he was
j thrown out there R. Crabtree to Con

out. L
L Maupin duplicated the previous
in the next frame, the same
players, with the exception of Nye,
scoring, Doughton being the omer to
cross the home plate for a run. Bend
was blanked in the next half, while
Maunin went out and gathered in a
I lone tally in its half, making a total
of 11 for the three innings. Bend i
squeezed one in in the third inning:
and gave Maupin a zero m oui- imn.
We were sat down on rather hard in
our next two times up, but three
men going to bat in each inning, but
in the next scored another, which
ended the accumulation of markers
for Maupin in the game.
In the fifth Bend was favored by

two were out, being given a life on
short's error. They duplicated the
performance in the sixth, another er
ror at the same position and after
two were out, allowing them three
