TOWN BASEBALL The Maupin ''Housecate" won their fourth consecutive game when they defeated Kent 3-0 on the local diamond la. t Sunday. - " Poling showed up well allowing only two hits and scoring 15 strike outs. Kent fought hard but played a losing game. There was a fair j siuej crowd which was composed I largely of Kentjtes. The "Housccata" have three gsmc.i scheduled: Grass Valley, there April 27; Grass Valley .here, May 4, and Kent, there, May 11." The only lamentable feature of the game was the disorderly conduct of a few spectators. Why not a little representation of local officers to remove such a nuisance?

The gift was an unusually beautiful act of pepper and salt shakers in silver, engraved in a con ventionalized flower design. Mrs. DcVoe confessed to some confusion as ho tried to express her gratitude and appreciation, a confusion which the students marked as proof of their success in making the gift a real surprise. Mr. DeVoe says thst although Michael Farraday may be honored by having bin birthday noted on calendars on April 18, she is sure nothing so pleasant happened to him as her surprise gift from her students. . ; On next Saturday, at the Track Meet at Tygh Valley eat at the Msupin Club stand Each serving 10 cents coffee 6c tee cream Sc.

STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ARE ARDENT FISHERMEN Saturday and Sunday were , the first whole days free to the pupils of the school since thr.fishing season opened and a number of teachers and pupils took advantage of it Mr. Poling, Mr. Hampton, Charles and Douglas Bothwell spent a hard day fishing on the river but were repaid for their labor by nice catches.

(continued on last psge) CONTRACT FIXING UP WATER SYSTEM ON FLAT Matt Have Wator if Alfalfa It to Crow Will Further Own Irrigation The contract holders residing on Juniper Flat have concluded that the Mt Hood Land and Water company Intends to d0 nothing toward ame liorating the water condition on Wapinitia Plains, therefore have banded together and haie force of men at work cleaning and widening ditches and getting ready to irrigate the acres called for in their contracts. Patience has ceased to be a virtue with the contract holders. They have wiicd patiently for ac-iiie de cisive m.vfc on the part of the com pany claiming to have succeeded to the control of the irrigation system. Nothing having been done, and no indications that anything would be done, those under contract have taken the bit in their mouths and have at last asserted their rights -to the water and in order to get a share have gone to work to secure it If the Mt Hood Land and Water company objects to this manner H hag a right to request an injunction re straining further work on the ditches. If that were done it would open up a means whereby the court might be called upon to determine just who owns the irrigating system and just how far the contract holders mights go towards supplying their acres with water through the ditches claimed by the company.

Bell Succeeding in Mak ing Flower Grow It is raid that time and perserver ance are needed to tame rattle snakes. Also it is an axiom of this section that a Mile water wiU work wonders with growing things. Mrs. R. B. Bell has proven the latter riahrf.4- She -has" laid out " a garden patch on the arid hilLide above the O. W. depot,' planned flower beds, installed a lilly pool and has suc ceeded in rooting 860 tulips, 86 rose bushes, 250 gladiolas, a large number of narcksui, as well as causing sev eral varieties of wild flowers to take root and grow. 1 Mrs. Bell will plant white water lillies in the pool that is if Bob does not succeed in turning the hole Into a bath tub. She will bring the plants from her former home at Vancouver, Washington. Becides the flower garden Mrs. Bell has a nicely growing vegetable garden, although Bob claims that part of the cultivated tract belongs to him. Maybe it should, for he stood by and directed . his wife's activities , while she wag getting the soil in shape and while she was planting the seed. i . ; The averaee of all undergraduate students is 3.21, while that for mar ried men is 3.06 and for married women 2. 37, for unmarried men is 3.41 ' and for unmarried women is 2.96. The better' grades of married stu dents is due largely to the fact, it is believed, that these students are more serious in pursuit of knowledge. Hoy Buyers Hero Wilson and Beck, hog buyers from Fortland, are in this vicinity and are buying all the hogs they can find. They shipped a carload over the O. T. last night and will soon have another shipment to go out Building Higher Forms Richmond & Son are at work build ing the forms for the upper part of their new garage and repair shop.

" " TALK OF EIGHT-INCH CLUB Would Increase Lengtk of FUfc That ;"" May to Cnnght 7 "V "! :'r Fihserman of Maupin are agitating, a measure that will permit of none but trout of tight-inch length to be taken from the Deschutes. To those familiar with conditions on that stream the proposed measure is a good one. Last season nearly 2,000, 000 trout were released from . tha Oak Springs hatchery and these, with the natural increase in the river, have filled the stream with small trout This early in the season seld om is a trout reaching 12 to 14 inches pulled from the water; instead the basket may be filled with trout of from six t0 reven inches in length ia a short time. By catching the smaller fish that chances for larger ones grow less end less, for when the little fellows are gone there are none left to grow to the proportions of those rainbows that have made the namo Deschutes synonymous with good fishing. Save the email fish and later big trout may be caught . 4 Just what the agitation will re sult in being done is not known at this time. Maupin fishermen ' no doubt will take some action looking t0 cessation of taking trout under eight inches but juct what the action will be we are not in a position to state at this time. : Track Meet Dance The Tygh Valley High school will sponsor a dance at the cchool gym on this week Saturday evening, fol lowing the track meet.
