The dream' of 100 Pen-' dleton citizens, who last November began to build a golf course, is to be realized on Saturday when the Pen dleton Country club golf links will be open for play '-" ' . i Begun last fall, seeded to grass three months ago t and entailing a cost of $31,000 for. construction, the golf course is a most attractive one and members of the club are antici pating real enjoyment. Play on Saturday will "begin' at 10 a. m. and this hour will be the open ing hour every day except Sunday when golfers may play' at any time they choose. The 10 a. m. rule is made because, with the warm weath er, it is necessary to keep water on the course during morning hours. It was also decided that players tee up on the fairways, using artificial tees, as a means of saving the grass. For the week-end there is planned a blind handicap tournament, .of 27 holes. The prizes will be six golf balls for first place; four for second and two for thrid. ' , The club has ruled that women are not to play on the course Saturday afternoons or Sunday mornings. Thursday has been designated wo men's day and on this day women have the preference rights on the links. 1 ; Writes Oregon Tales if flf 4 " Mrs. Finley Injured " ' Mrs. Alex K.

Carrying delightful and entertaining glimpses of Oregon into all parts of the United State3, "Marooned In Crater Lake," a volume of short stories written by Alfred Powers,, dean of the extension division of the University of Oregon, is already proving a marked succeM, according to reports of the publishers, the Metropolitan Press. Orders for the book, which contains six highly interesting tales ot this stale, are now coming in from all parts of the United Statco, especially from libraries, some of which are ordering several copies. Starting with a clever story, "Ma rooned in Crater Lake," In which a boy, left by accident at an inaccessible point on the lake shore, finally signals the lodge by means of a kite construct ed with the aid of postage stamps, the stories take the reader through many adventures and to many absorbing places. " Pioneer tore Used ; Pioneer lore Is drawn on for many of the tales, one ot the most unusual of which is "The Hickory Bank." This telle of a unique and surprising method of keeping coin, which almost resulted ln a widow and her family being left penniless through the death of the husband who failed to reveal the whereabouts of the "bank." In an other ."The Dinner Call," , a pioneer woman foils an Indian by a clever ruse, while the white man's cleverness is again demonstrated in "The Van quished Rider" in which two boys es cfipe from the Redskins by the simple ' process of reversing the shoes on a horse. , ' Almost tragic In a whimsical way is "The Blue Bucket Mine," a story of the Oregon country around old Baker City. A father and eon find a nugget in the craw of a 'chicken and the gold hunt Is cn. Us termination, minus the fortune, is both humorous and sad. Stcrtes Interesting ..... ' A story that is certain to arouse a real controversy in which even mathe matics experte may take part is "The 'Fourth of Che For Fifteen," the action of which hinges on whether or not' a ' flame on Mount Shasta could he seen on Mount Hoed, 259 miles away. Hood Is 11,225 feet high, 'while Shasta Is l-i,110, and there is some question as to whether the curvature of the earth would permit vision for thto distance between these two lofty points. In terest is added by a scientific explana tion by J. W. Booth, who wrote follow Ing the appearance of the story In th New Improvement Era in 1925.

Bend Timber Fire Roars ' Near Odell Lake and Is Burning Virgin Timber - Bend. Maklaks . mountain, 7500 foot high timbered peak near the south boundary of the Deschutes na tional forst and only three miles dis tant from Odell lake, one of Oregon's noted recreation areas, Tuesday was a glowing mass of flames as crews of fatigued fire fighters .' were rushed from Bend to the Crescent country by truck. A stiff wind from the north west was whipping the flames up a 60 per cent slope and it was feared that the conflagration would race across the Oregon skyline trail and sweep into the timber along the northern shore of Odell. The Maklaks mountain fire . was trenched, but shortly before noon the flames spread over the trenches and raced on an ever-spreading front up to the brushy slopes of the dominant peak. It was expected that by dark the entire mountain would be covered by .flames. Unless the conflagration can be held on the mountain, the flames may menace Odell , lake, or should the wind change, sweep east ward to Davis lake; a wind from the north will drive the timber fire into a virgin stand, of yellow pine in the Hammer Butte area. As the vast fire suppression organ ization with headquarters in Bend shifted men from the Big Springs area, just west of this city, where flames blackened 4000 acres of tim berland in 48 hours, reports were re ceived from lookouts that the Dug out lake fire, in the Sisters district and just east of Mount Washington, apparently had . broken over the trenches once more. . Great clouds of smoke were follow ing up from the Dugout springs re gion, the lookouts said, but it was be lieved that the northwest wind was blowing the flames toward the Bel knap crater lava beds. Leslie Colvill, central fire platting agent of the Des chutes national forest," was not di rectly in touch with the 250 men who are fighting the Dugout lake con flagration. The big fire was trenched, but last report from Perry A. South, Sisters ranger. In charge, indicated that spot fires were causing much dif ficulty. . " r- :- Although trenched, the Bend fire, first of three conflagration which swept over approximately 6000 acres of timbered country since Saturday, was considered dangerous. Men were drawn from the ten miles to trench and sent south to the Maklaks moun tain fire, but approximately 250 men In numerous control units were pa troling the lines.

C., Pacific coast railroads received interstate com merce commission permission to make north and south freio-ht. between California seaports and the norm racinc ports In Oregon and Washington to meet steamboat com petition. The COmmisKtnn'B nrdera afFeofiva November 25, allow the rail lines to maintain higher rates to and from intermediate territory and inland points where the water competition is not effective, while redtipinir rharcrna i - . v to the seaport areas. . -., The new adjustments involve crifiin. tions Where rail rates will Ka ViiirViov for short distances than for, longer distances over the same routes.
