FEDERAL PROJECT.
t
Spokane, Wash., Jan. 10—It was
announced here this week that the
Grand Coulee project has formally
and officially been declared a fed

entirely on that basis.
The Public Works Administratipn

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 HOLDS LEAD THROUGH
FIRST QUARTER.
Final Quarter Holds Thrills When
Teams Tie ; Blackhawks De*
feated by Stanfield.
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. The timers’
whistle ended the game before ano
ther play was started.
Up-Hill Battle.
The Blackhawks fought an up-hill
battle with the heavier Stanfield
boys throughout the game. A great
number of fouls were called but
failed to check the rough game.
When the game ended the Black
hawks found themselves on the low
er end of a 12-26 score.
