Good Crowd Sees Two Fast Games of

University Team Next.

BY a score of 25 to 10 the high
school boys basketball team won
from the La Grande Commercial club
last night while the local girls team
lost to the La Grande girls by
score of IL to 10. The latter game
was an evenly contested game
throughout and was won by La
Grande on foul throws.
BY calling countless fouls upon the
Pendleton girls the La Grande Off
cial gave the visiting foul throwing
many opportunities to roll up the
score and incidentally he made him
self very unpopular with the audience.
The double header" game opened
with the first half of the girls game
and it proved an exciting 60 At the
end of the half the score stood to
g. In the second half the score was
tied for a time at 10 to 10 but when
it closed La Grande had two points
to its advantage.
During the girls game scarcely
field goal was thrown most of the
score on both sides being made on
fouls. The game was a rough one
throughout and was greatly marred
by the poor work of the visiting Of
ficial
The game between the boys teams
was also characterized by consider
able roughness and wrangling but In
spite of this 1t was an interesting
match. From the start Pendleton led
the score and at no time was the
game in danger. Though the La
Grande players were older and larg-
er they lacked the speed and team
work Of the high school boys. The
first half closed IL to 5 and that rec
ord was duplicated in the second half.
Many fouls were thrown during the
boys game also and in that work
Lester Means, foul thrower for Pen
dleton, outclassed his opponent.
University Next.
Next Friday evening the best game
of the season to be seen here Will
occur when the high school teams
meet the five from the university Of

To travel 400 miles over Alaskan
ice from Valdez to Fairbanks is the
highly interesting experience to be
enjoyed by Mrs. R. r. Myers Of
Fairbanks, Alaska, who is a guest
OF Hotel st. George today on her way
from her former home in Baker City
to the north.
Mrs. Myers is the wife of DR.. R.
R. Myers formerly of Baker City
who went into Fairbanks two years
ago to practice his profession and
prospect for gold. He has been high
ly successful in both and is now per-
manently located there.
Mrs. Myers will go in by way of
Valdez. the nearest coast point to
Fairbanks and from that place will
take a dog sled over the Alaskan ice
and snow fields. over which she will
travel a distance of about 400 miles.
1t will require from two to three
weeks to make that distance owing
70 the weather and condition Of the
trails.
She will have plenty OF company on
the long lonely journey, however, as
the winter season is the favorite time
for making the trip and practically
all the business men and mining pro-
moters come out to the United States
during the winter season.
She speaks entertainingly of Fair
banks and is delighted with life there.
Although 1t is over 400 miles in the
interior of Alaska they have two ex-
cellent daily papers which receive all
the press dispatches. In winter they
receive outside mail twice each week
by sleds but during summer the mail
is brought in but once in 10 days. All

kinds of business flourishes there and
money is plentiful.
Social life is entertaining in the
highest degree and although it is
mining town at all the social func-
tions full dress suits and swell party
dresses are. even more in evidence
than in Portland or Seattle. Some of
the richest men in the north have
their homes and headquarters at
Fairbanks and it is one of the most
progressive towns in the north, hav-
ing a population of about 5000.
Mrs. Myers left today for Walla
walla where she will visit for a few
days before leaving for Seattle. She
was reared in Baker City and has
been there on a visit to friends.

injustice was ever done a body Of
men. There was not a scinticla OF
evidence against these soldiers upon
which the president could base his
finding. They had only been in
Brownsville two weeks, and were un-
der the strictest watch by their su-
perior officers, yet we are asked to
believe that these 167 men, with
scarcely the dust OF travel on their
bodies, entered into a conspiracy to
shoot up this Texas town against
whose citizens they had no grievance.
The whole thing is an outrage" said
the old senator with flashing eye"
The Presidents course was high
handed and unjust, and, since Taft
has endorsed it, no self respecting
black man can vote for him without
making q greater sacrifice than most
men are willing to make"
Il can remember" continued the
senator. when a Colored man could
stop at any hotel in Cincinnati Now
he must 90 to places kept by his own
people. The lines are tightening
around him all over this country, and
unless he asserts his independence, at
the ballot box, he might as wen
stretch forth his hands and tell his
enemies to put on the manacles"
Senator Foraker feels keenly the
charge made against him by Mr..
Taft that he was not acting In good
faith when he championed the cause
Of the Colored soldiers.
Il have always been the friend Of
the black race" said he-"snd / al

wounded, and their home in ashes are
results of a raid by night riders on
the house of David Walker, a Negro,

The Fifty raiders had planned to sd-
minister a whipping to Walker because
he had cursed . white woman and had
drawn a pistol on a white man. The
nights riders arrived at Walkers home
shortly after midnight last night and
ordered him to come out. Walker re-
fused and opened FIRE on the band In
retaliation the night riders saturated
the building with coal oil, set it on

Last winter shortly after the Rspub-

over TIE country. scattering hunger and
misery, cold and want. into millions Of
homes, throughout this country. The
Chicago Tribune, established a free
lodging house. Free soup houses were
also established in the various sections
| Of the city.
At that time, The Chicago Inter
Ocean, which is always noted for tsIl-
ing the truth, stated, that 10000
men, women and children, had been
thrown out of work. tranping the
streets seeking employment That
ethe large department stores, and
other concerns employing thousands of
Iaborers, had gySatly reduced their
working forces, many Of them running
on half time"
Il viii be recalled that a committee
Of prominent business men, was ap-
pointed to solicit funds to be expended
in buying food, coal and clothing; for
the starving and freezing multitude.
Many pitiable cases of want and des-
titution were recorded in the daily
press. This same condition of affairs
at that time; prevailed TO a greater or
less degree in all parts of the country.
With the approach of the spring and
summer months, when all kind of work
IS supposed to be more plentiful it was
thought, that want and restitution had
been waited away from this city, on
the Republican wings of prosperity, and
the people in Chicago, were shocked
and greatly horrI6ed, when it was
stated that in The Chicago Tribune
few days ago, that, between 1900 and
10000 school children in Chicago are
underfed" That 5000 of this number
never know what a full meal means"
That this condition of affairs is
brought about largely, by many of the
parents of the children being out of
work, others working at greatly reduced
wages, and the high cost of living"
The report contained IN The Tribune,
and which eminated from members of
the Board of Education, is very
gloomy indeed, and it presents a black
or dark picture; which is further evil
dence, that Republican prosperity has
struck Chicago.
