of the marriage of "Bob" Fitz
water and Pauline Cochran, who

Football Came Was Called Off.
The football game between
Condon and Fossil, which was
scheduled to take place on New
Year's day, was not played, for
the reason that at the last min
ute word was received from Fos
sil that they could not. get their
team together. There is some
thing decidedly funny in the way
the football situation between
these two teams has been worked
this season. First the Fossil
team challenged the Condon team
to meet them at Fossil in three
days and the Condon boys wish
ing to oblige them and get the
4..J J 1 I i
played them and were beaten, 6
to 5.' The Fossil boys promised
to play a return game in a few
weeks, but after the Condon
team had defeated the Weston
boys, they refused to play, giv
ing no excuse except that the
boys there did not wish to meet
the Condon team at that time.
Then again on Thursday of last
week they challenged the Condon
team to meet them at Fossil on
the following Saturday, giving
only two days to get in readiness.
It was finally arranged to meet
in Condon on INew Year's day,
but on Monday morning the Con
don boys thinking the weather
would be too severe to get a
crowd to make expenses called
the game off. However, when
the weather had moderated on
Tuesday the local team, although
having no practice at all, thought
it best to meet them regardless
of expenses and accordingly
phoned for them to come and re
ceived the reply that they would,
but later they called up and said
that it would be impossible for
them to come. It seems that Fos
sil is determined to have the best
of it when these two teams do
meet, but be that as it may, if
the Fossil team ever meets the
Condon boys on an equal footing
they will come to the conclusion
that they do not know the game
and will probably wish they had
never heard of it

Gasoline Traction Engines
v.
Are fast coming into use and
ranchers are finding out their
good points, ' The International
Harvester Co. has added a trac
tion attachment to its engines
and during the past two years
has tried them out and found
them to be a grand success.
They are so simple that it is not
necessary to hire an engineer,
anyone of ordinary intelligence
being able to operate them. The
company will carry a large stock
of them at Portland and a large
supply of repairs as well Their
prices are some hundreds of dol
lars less than any other traction
engine on the market and the
freight charges much less. They
are fully guaranteed by the com
pany and you'd better Bee Hunt
the Hardware Man before buying
any other kind.
