A short workout is planned for to night at (i, for those who care to get the “feel" of the ball prelimin ary to Sunday's try-outs. Donations for the support of the team are still far short of that nec essary. according to Sonnakes. and a further effort will be made to get the balance. Mrs. Sidney Bur- bidge. a loyal fan and booster of the team solicited the funds that have been received so far, anti she will probably be the one who will try to get the remaining $100. Guy Bush, local triple C man second baseman, last year will be missing from the line-up this year due to transfer to Walla Walla. Wash. The schedule for the Oregon-Ida- ho league has not yet been com pleted, but the first games are slat ed to start May 21. Tile number of games for the season have been in creased from 14 to 21. with 7 of them being played at night, on Wednesdays, according to present plans, starting June 7.

Farm Security admin istration, according to W. N. Young, county supervisor. Facilities of a combine harvester with seed threshing equipment will be made available for use to mem ber farms and a limited number of other farmers in the community may be enable to participate. The new co-operative is set up on a joint ownership plan with members signing partnership and participa tion agreements on a fee basis. Elmer Dutton is treasurer of the service. Other members include R. H. Clark. M. M. Greeling, Oscar Schafer, F. E. Newbill, C W. Wil son, Leo Winn and R. F Perry.. Indemnity Money Reduced May 1st DEISEL PI.ANT WOULD SERVE 10« FAMILIES The rural electrification adminis tration has given preliminary con sideration to an application for a loan of $30,000 to build 25 miles of rural lines to serve some 200 farms in Malheur county and has out lined the steps wihch must be com pleted before an allotment of funds can be made. R.E.A is correspond ing with Lawrence Chestnut, Jor dan Valley, Ore. Electricity would be furnished from a deisel generat ing plant. The project sponsors should ob tain and submit signed applications for membership in the co-operative as well as applications for electrical service from it; also obtain signed easements for the right-of-way for the power lines, and perpare and send to R.E.A. a detailed map of the proposed project, showing the area mast feasible to be served with the allotment when and if it is made available. It will be necessary for the spon sors to select an attorney and in corporate under the laws of Oregon. They have been requested to notify the R.E.A. legal division of their choice as attorney so that he can be promptly approved and sent sug- geted forms to be used for incorpor ation and for easements. Although no retail rate for sell ing electricity can be established until all cost factors have been de termined, a rate has been tentative ly suggested, under which a mini mum bill of $3.00 per month would pay for 40 kwh. This amount of electricity will not only adequately light the average size home, but it will operate several appliances such as a washing machine, iron, radio and water pump. Speed in development of this project depends very largely on prompt compliance by local leaders and the community with the R.E.A. requests for information and ac tion. If the information is satis factory and the local organization adequate, R.E.A. expects to be able to allot money to meet the entire construction costs. No money will be lent to pay for right-of-way. ¥ The above picture shows Dewey Thomason.
