Local Ball TOsseFs Are Victorious I'm

Played I'm City by the Columbia Last

From the Start and Held IL Though
the Score Is Close.

The Dalles, Dec. 24.-Outplaying
the locals at every point in a hotly
contested game the girls of Pendle-
ton High schools basketball team last
evening defeated the girls team at
The Dalles by a score of Is to 13. The
game was fought bitterly throughout
and while the Pendleton girls contin-
ued in the lead from the very first
there were many times when only the
most clever defense by the visitors kept
The Dalles girls from forging ahead.
Those who saw both games declare
that the game here was spedier and
much better than the meeting of the
two teams at Pendleton a week ago.
The game was played under girls
rules, with six players on either side,
both teams using a loose center in ad-
dition to the usual five" and confin-
ing the players to their respective
courts. The officials were Young Of

PACIFIC TO HAVE
A TORPEDO STATION

The United States government has
decided to establish a million-dollar
torpedo station somewhere on this
coast, and a company of government
engineers and torpedo experts is at
work investigating the harbors Of Call
iforna and looking for the most
available site, says the S. F, Exami-
ner.
At present there is only one such
station in the United States, and that
is located at Newport. Rhode Island.
Because of the winter rigors there Is
a large part of the year during which
torpedo maneuvers cannot go on, so
IL is probable that when the station
is established in California it will be-
come the most important in the coun-
try.
torpedo requires tuning up just
like a battleship or an automobile,
and there is always a great question
as to which type Of torpedo is the most
efficient.
The experts and engineers regard
the harbors of California as ideal
places for torpedo practice.

COUNCIL VOTES
LIBRARY TAX
ALSO FINES CITY LEVY
AT ELEVEN MILLS
Levy for City Purpose Is Maximum
Limit Allowed Under Present
CharteI-Levy for Library Only
Amounts TO Twenty Cents on Each
Thousand Dollars-Oouncn APP
proves West court Street Improve
ments.

The city council of Pendleton play
ed Santa Claus last evening, and in
the stockings hung up by the ladies
of the library club left two-tenth OF
a mill tax lexy for the support of the
library. The levy was made last
night at the regular meeting of the
council at which time the city fathers
made the regular city tax levy, deter
mining upon nine mills for general ex-
penses of the city and two mills for
street improvement, and thus going
the limit of the city charter in an II
mill levy.
The special levy for the library
amounts to one-fiftieth of a cent on
every dollar, or 20 cents per thou
sand dollars upon the taxable property
of the city Upon the taxable valua-
tion of S3,665,122.25, the basis of last
nights calculations, 1t will bring in
the sum OF 1888 in taxes, of which
not more than $3.50 will probably be
collected, giving approximately that
amount toward the expense of the IL
brary during the coming year. This
sum together with the $25O0 which
the library club has set as the sum
1t proposes to raise for the furnish
ing and support of the library during
the coming season, and the $50 per
month approximate income from the
Sturgis fund, which will be used for
the purchase of books, will give suf-
ficient money to carry on the library
in a most thorough manner
The library levy was made separate
and apart from the general city levy
and was based upon the state law
which provides tax for that purpose.
The sum was the smallest consistent
with the amount OF funds necessary
for the library and was but one-fifth
of the sum which could have been
levied under the statute and would
have been had II not been for the
heavy increase in the amount OF the
levy this year.
The city levy of nine mills will be
used for general expenses of the city,
including every item except that of inn
provement of streets, for which two
mills have been levied, bringing the
total up to the charters limit of II
mills.
Besides determining the tax prob
lens of the city last evening the coun-
Gil approved a resolution for the i'm
provement of West Court street from
Main street to the city limits, referred
the two bids on the improvement of
Lincoln street, those of w. C. Betz
and A A. Hardin. respectively, to the
street committee and passed the ap-
plication of c. w. Rosenfelt for a per-
nit to sell near beer at the old Ben
Morton place on Court street to the
license committe, which will report
at the next meeting.

HELLO GIRLS To

MANAGER BESCINDED
Arrangements Are Made Wfth o. II. &
n. Agent Whereby Most Reliable
Information Obtainable VIII Be
Given Pasrons of Telephone Com
pany-In Calling, Ask for "Infor-
matioH." =, IL

That the hello" girls will resume
the practice of giving out informa-
ton relative to the time of the arriv,
al Of trains in this city was announc-
ed today by Manager NJ. F. Marston
OF the local office.
In explanation Of why the service
was discontinued. Mr.. Marston stated
to the East Oregonian this morning
that il had been found impossible to
get absolutely accurate information
plants had been made against the
girls because their information was
not correct.
Not long ago, according to the man.
ager, he found one of his girls in
tears because an irate patron had
abused her because a train had not
arrived at the time she predicted 1t
would. The fact that the information
that had been given was incorrect was
not the fault of the girl So because
the girls were unjustly blamed and
because they themselves were unable
to secure information regarding trains
It was decided to discontinue the serv-
ice.
But so many complaints have been
made because the service was stop
ped that arrangements were made to-
day to have it resumed.
According to Manager Marston he
mas arranged with the o. r. & n.
agent, Mr.. Schuyler, so that the depot
employees will inform the central Of
flee whenever news is received to the
effect that train Is late. Through
the phone system this Information
will then be given to the hotels of the
town and to the public in general,
Hereafter, patrons wishing to get
information regarding trains are
asked to call for Information"
should the call be made during the
day time At night the Information"
girl will not be at work and the reg
ular central girl will respond.
When trains are on time and no
reports have been sent out the girl
will mere,v reply that no reports have
been received.
But it is to be distinctly under
stood, according to the phone COM
pany manager, that the telephone
people are not responsible for the ac-
curacy OF the information they give.
They merely repeat what they receive
from the railroad people and if there
are any complaints they should be
made TO the depot people.
