IVY GRAFTON GOOD.

The Ivy Grafton, by Merrill Smith,
was an excellent one and was given
in a distinct tone of voice. He stat
ed that the Ivy used to symbolic the
points or the bright side of life but
that he was going to use it in a more
serious way. He referred to the
Ivy poison, both the three and five
leaf kind, and used them as ex-
amples of the people in life whom we
will need to avoid or they will des-
troy our lives as the Ivy will poison
our bodies. Every cloud has a silver
lining, is an old saying but the
speaker stated that it should be
changed to read every silver lining
has dark cloud. AS the gradual
ing class is now witnessing the silver
lining or the graduating time, they
should prepare to meet the dark clouds

Each teacher will be called upon to
exercise her ingenuity in devising a

27 to 27, tie. The game was then
resumed to play off the tie and with
in few minutes Means threw a foul
goal for Pendleton. However two
points are necessary to play off tie
and the game continued. A foul was
then thrown for Walla Walla, again
evening up the score. After consid-
cradle more playing OF the toughest
nature ever witnessed here, a field
goal was thrown for Walla walla.
When the game closed 1t was
amid much excitement and indlgna-
ton towards the Walla walla referee.
During the greater portion of the
game the official acted with seeming
fairness. But when the contest mar
rowed so closely his Walla Walla
sympathies overcame his Judgment
and he could see none OF the rank
fouls his men were making every mo-
ment. On the contrary he repeatedly
called fouls on Pendleton, thereby
giving the visiting players many op-
portunities at foul throwing at which
they showed up poorly. Had he CIV
en- Pendleton a fair deal, Means
would have again won the game for
his team, for out of the 16 foul
throws he had during the game he
missed but two.
Though they were declared defeat
ed the Pendleton boys played hard,
fast game throughout By his fine
foul throwing Means made himself
the star and he contrasted we'll with
the Walla Walla man who could
scarcely hit the side of the wall.
Penland and Turner each played a
whirlwind game. while fine work was
also done by Johns and Cooley.

CELEBRATE MAPLE DAY" At BAKER CITY

This city is preparing to observe a
day early in April which shall be
known as Maple Day, and on this
date about 1000 maple trees will be
set out in Baker City, says the Ba-
ker City Herald.
The matter was first brought up by
Prof ]. A. Churchill upon his return
from the east last fall where he says
that splendid work had been done.
He took the matter before the school
board and they voted to purchase
900 trees to be placed in the grounds
Of public school buildings.
The matter has been brought to the
attention Of the citizens through the
school children, for their English
work has dealt with trees, their plant
ing and care, and the benefits to be
derived from the planting Of trees. In
this way they have Interested the pa
rents in the good work and 1t Is estl-
mated that between 700 and 1900
trees will be purchased by private in
divlduals to be set out this spring in
beautifying their homes.
The trees cost only 25 cents each
and the children are now busy having
their parents fill out blank orders
which they will return to the school
who will send in all of
the orders at once.
The day has not been decided upon
for 1t will depend upon the weather
but it will be sometime early in April.
Another unique plan which is Gre
iting a great deal of interest and en-
.husiasm among the pupils is that of

JIM PONDS WIFE DIED.
Indian Woman Passed Away This
Morning After Long Illness.

The wife of Jim Pond, the well
known umatilla Indian and interpre-
ter, died on the reservation this
morning after having been sick for
many weeks. Arrangements are now
being made for the funeral which
VIII be held on the reservation.
Several weeks ago Jim learned that
his wife could not live and so pur-
chased a casket from Baker & Fol-
som In order to be in readiness for
the occasion. But when the wife did
not die the outfit was taken back
by the undertakers. This morning It
was purchased again by the bereav-

ly and squarely is positively shown by
the score boog. The record shows
that four field goals were thrown by
Penland, one by Johns and two by
Cooley, while 13 fouls were thrown by
Means during the regular game. The
point awarded by the referee is set
down in the proper column and it
was the only point so given to Pen
dleton during the game. During the
game wallR walla was also given one
point for the same reason and it was
counted.
That the point was duly awarded to
Pendleton by Referee Glow OF Walla
Walla was stated by himself during
the game and also by Mark Moor
house, the official for Pendleton. The
point was given because a Walla
Walla man held a Pendleton player
while he was trying for a field goal
Under the rules it is compulsory in
such case for the referee to award
a point to the opposing side.
Among the Pendleton students and
faculty 1t Ks regneated that the score
keepers error was not detected be-
fore. However they contend that the
game was won without question and
that II is now up to Referee Glow to
award the game to Pendleton.
Glow Remembered II.
When called up by phone this af-
ternoon by the East oregonian, Ref
cree Glow, who is the Walla walla
schools physical director, said he re-
membered awarding the point to
Pendleton and also one to Walla
Walla on the same score. He said he
could have called more such fouls
but did not as he preferred to leave
the thing a ''standoff." Later when
told what the score book showed he
attempted TO forget what he had pre-
viously said concerning the point.
What the referee will now do con-
cerning the game is problematic. Ac-
cording to Glow he considered the
game awarded to Walla Walla, but IL
he can be shown to the contrary he
is ready to do the fright thing"
Hard Fought Game.
The game Saturday was one of the |
fastest and hardest fought ever seen
upon the assembly floor. The two
teams are we'll matched and both
went into TIE game with every inch
that was in them. At the outset the
playing was favorable TO walla Wal
Ia, but the Pendleton boys played
with bulldog tenacity and when the
half ended the visitors were but three
points ahead, the score being IS to
12.
The second half was even more
fierce than the first. though the home
team showed better form. When the
half was up the score was given as

Pendleton 2S; Walla walla 81.
This is the way the score for the
basketball game played Saturday
night should read. Though It was
thought the game was a tie when
time was called it has since been
learned that when the referees whis-
tie blew Pendleton had one point to
the good. 1t was a point that had
been awarded Pendleton upon a foul
and being entered at a far end Of the
score card was not counted by Alfred
Euster, scorekeeper, when he first

 victs Into the mines The cooping up of unfortunates with diseases and plac- ing them in great dangers means al most sure life sentence. I think the idea is hostile to civilization and Ala bama Is late coming to a realization of the fact.
 q believe that Mississippi has solyed the problem and will be glad to see the day when the convicts are worked Tn the open. Anything would be better han mine work, although I am not pre- pared to say just what the financial ad- vantages of either plan really are.
 "A man who is not conversant with the problems of the Board of Revenue has no right to criticise them" said George Estes but l am certainly op- posed to the fee system. I know little of the advantages of putting the con victs on the roads, but I favor any thing which means the abolition of r. e fee system in our county. The state Is the prosecutor in the case and should pay the costs. There is nothing right in taxing the prisoner with them, and certainly it is not right to make one prisoner work out the costs of an ac. quilted man."

 On account of the hour, however, 1t is very probable that Mrs. Theodore Roose- yelt will be asleep in her car, and very probable that those who finger about the Terminal station in hopes of gaining a glimpse of a waving handkerchief will be disappointed. It Is safe to predict that there will be no committee of prominent citizens to greet her.
 Concerning this visit of Mrs. Roosevelt there is a lack of information. On the evening of March 27 she will board the Alabama Great Southern at Chattanooga

 There will be some persons with Mrs. Roosevelt. though their identity is un- known. She has requested a drawing room and eight berths. It is probable that her family will be with her, minus the President and possibly in addition there will be some close friends.
 The information that Mrs. Roosevelt would pass through Birmingham was given in a dispatch to the Pullman com pany here, which company was requested to arrange for transportation.
