The Public Works Administratipn has also given assurance that werk will be pushed with all possible speed and that the money will be available as needed. It is understood that this new de- velopment absolves not only the state of Washington of all responsi bility and of the requirement of co- operation in financing the work, and also renders unnecessary and further consideration by the federal power commission of the application for a power permit filed by the Co lumbia Basin Commission.

Condon high school came to Her miston last Saturday night to defeat the Bulldogs 21-22 the last two sec onds of play, while the Hermiston Blackhawks met defeat at the hands of the Stanfield town team in a 12-26 score. Condon started fast In the first quarter obtaining a lead of three field goals with the quarter end ing at 11-5. In the second quarter, however, the Bulldogs started check ing closely and held the Condon boys scoreless while adding two field goals and a tree throw to their own score. This left them trailing by only one point when the halt en ded. 10-11. Retaining their snappy team work and close checking in the third quarter, the Bulldogs, led by the splendid performance of E. Pleree, were headed for a victory. Pierce looped in two beautiful shots, and Moore, who went in for Paul, crawled from under the basket and dropped one in. In the meantime Condon added another goal to their score, which left them trailing at the end of the third quarter, 16-13. The last quarter resulted In the most exciting basketball seen this season. The Condon boys started a last minute rally while the Bull dogs fought with all they had to maintain the lead. With one min ute to play, The Bulldogs dropped In a foul shot to tie the score at 21, only to lose the game as Condon looped the ball' from the side for the winning points.
