"Oh, yes, miss, as long as you go
straight" said the keeper.
So they laid aside the guns and the
guides gamesacK, and formed a chair
with their hands, and, bearing the girl
between them, they waded out along
the driven alder stakes, knee deep In
brown water.
Her arm, lightly resting around his
neck, frightened tride as the water
rose to his thighs; then the faint pres
sure relaxed as they thrashed shore
ward through the shadows, ankle deep
once more. and landed among the dry
reeds on the farther bank.
Miles, the keeper, went back for the
guns. Siward stamped about In the
sun, shaking the drops from water
proof breeches and CATERS, only to be
half drenched again when Sycamore
shook himself vigorously.
~ suppose" said Sylvia, looking
sideways at Siward, 'your contempt
for my sporting accomplishments has
not decreased. I'm sorry. l don't
like IN walk In wet shoes even to gain
your approval"
And as the keeper came splashing
across the shadows: "Miles, you may
carry my gun. shall not need it any
longer"
The upward roar Of bevy OF grouse
drowned her voice. Poor Sycamore,
pointing madly In the blackberry thick
ct all unperceived, cast dismayed
glance aloft where the sunlit air quiv-
cred under the winnowlng rush OF
heavy wings. Siward flung up his
gun, heading q big quartering bird.
Steadily the glittering barrels swept
In the arc of fire, hesitated, wavered,
then the possibility passed. The young
fellow lowered the gun slowly, grave
ly, stood a moment motionless with
bent head until the rising color In his
face had faded.
And that was all for awhile. The
astonished and disguised keeper stared
into the thicket. The dog lay CULVER
ing, impatient for signal. Sylvia's
heart, which had seemed to stop with
her voice, silenced In the gusty thun-
der of heavy wings, began beating too
fast. For the ringing crack OF a gun
shot could have spoken no louder TO
her than the glittering silence OF the
suspended barrels nor any promise OF
his voice sound as the startled stiffness
sounded now about her, for ne mao

NEW ERA OPENS
 FOR SAVAGE MINE

PARADISE, May 23.-A new chap. ter in the history of the Paradise min. ing district was commenced when in- stallation of the new machinery at the Savage was complete and that eompa' ny began drilling and hoisting st the mine by aid of electric power.
 As rapidly as possible, the new 5o' foot shaft will now be sunk 10 a depth of 300 feet.
 This is the first power plant 10 be installed for sinking purposes since the starting up of the Chirieahua ma chinery in 1903 (though an electric power concentrator, now idle at the Co chise, which property is now inlitiga' ton, was set in motion in laO6). Ma turally, therefore, all interested in this district are much elated, since the ne' cessary steps have now been taken to hasten the making of a mine.
 Albert Fink and Shaw Bros. this week commenced doing annual work for the year on their group of twelve claims in Juh's Canyon, south of the Knowles property. On this group sew eral hundred feet of work has been done by the present owners, with "s' eellent results.
 Before leaving for his new camp in Juh's canyon, where it IS his intention to remain at work throughout the sum mer months, Mir. Fink stated that the recent rich silver strike made on their Silver Creek property is holding up in good shape. The latter property Is in' dicated in the silver belt of the Chiri' cuhua mountains, this belt comprising a large portion of what IS commonly known as the fooihill belt. In the sos or tnereabouts this property, among others in the district, was oP' erated for silver, and n vertical shaft about i2O feet in depth IS one of the many relics of those days.

REPORTED ACTIVITY
 IN MAMMOTH DISTRICT
tFrom sundays Daily)

Mammoth IS taking on an air of increased prosperity, according to a number of mining men of that section who were in Phoenix recently. Among the Mammoth vxisitors there were F.. M. kilbcrg, |. F. Dubois, F. W. Pool, J. w. Barndenburg and 1T. l.. Ncwcomb. Their trip was made for the special purpose of looking after a land deal.
 Machinery is being shipped into the country, said Mir. Newcomb. Among the concerns which are installing mining machinery are the C. & A. company, which is also receiving considerable lumber during the past few days and arc preparing for much greater opera. tions. The final payment of the Clark. scanlon properties will bc made on the 7tn of August. Development work is being pushed on this property.
 The Copper Creek company is In. stalling new facilities In the way of machinery, and nine six.horse teams are now being employed in hauling in hoists, lumber and electric eoncentrat. ing plant, which will be in service within the ne1t 90 days. it is thought.
 There is talk of a 40.s,amp mill on the Mohawk property. This is located on miles from Mammoth. Tnc com. pany is now eross.cutting on the 100. foot level. having just finished a cross. cut on the 35o foo, level. Shipping ore will be begun as soon as the 400.foot cross cut is completed. On the Lcath. erwood property, in inc Catalina noun. ,ains, bonded by Col. Randolph, l2 to I5 men are working on development, and the property is showing mp splen. didly.
 X good strike has been made on the property bonded by Mir. Tanner, where s new 5.s'amp mill is being put up. But the bes, strike which mas come to light is on the property of Frank Harner and Hand, which revealed a G-ineh ledge of gold ore running in places 'o as much as Al200 per ton. This, of course, is picked specimens, but there are abou, tons on the dumps which will run over sl0o per ton. The gold is found on porphery and quartz. site contact, and there appear 10 be considerable indications of its extend. ing good depth. The shaft is now down s feet. The canyon below has been worked as n placer for years and many have tried to locate the mother lode, and not until last week did any. thing show up which looked like ready money for the many prospectors who have gone over the claims. Mir. Hogs. well has skipped from an adjoining claim parts of two carloads of ore 10 Fl Psso, and the returns were s2200 net, according 10 the reports.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-12-30

The proposition of having a confer
ence for the control of high school
football in eastern Oregon as advo-
Gated by Mark Moorhouse and pub
lished in this paper is meeting with
much favor in La Grande. The OBJ
server in commenting on the PROPOSE
ton has the following:
"Time was never ripper than now for
La Grande to fall in line with Pendle-
ton in the formation of an athletic
conference in eastern Oregon, that
will mean something. True, there is
one now that bears that name, but
aside from agreeing on where the
eastern Oregon meets shall be held, 1t
has little real prestige. Ontario. Cove,
Island City, Elgin and Weston, and
Wallowa county towns are cities that
are rapidly forging to the front with
athletic teams of all classes, and Pen
dleton, La Grande and Baker City are
no longer the "whole show" Conse-
quently 1t is only right that confer
ence comprising the entire eastern
section OF the state be formed to do
real work and accomplish much good.
Every town has passed the stage
where high schools can unblushingly
run in ringers" or send men out un-
der their colors who for years and
years have ATTENDED high school,"
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-12-30
CONFERENCE PLAN FOR HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL IS FAV0RABLY RECEIVED

The 4-year rule should be adopted and
vigorously enforced. Until a boy Is in
the high school he should not repre-
sent his school athletically. Neither
should he require seven or eight years
to complete the high school course.
1T is time that these eastern Oregon
towns copied after the best In the land
for the sooner 1t is DONE the sooner
will prestige be worth something. AS
long as Pendleton sends out its Jay to
pole vault and hurdle and do divers
other things as q high school student.
so long will eastern oregon be classed
as community of ringers. The other
cities in this section each have their
Jays. 1t is not true of Pendleton
alone.
Mark Moorhouse of Pendleton, has
already started the ball rolling for the
organizatin of such a conference, and
1t behooves La Grande to breast PEN
dleton in this great work and perfect
something along this line that will lift
high school athletics from It's present
stage, where most athletes are well
coined for the particulad season in
which he excells, to a point where
each school can unblushingly affirm:
These young men attend school for
school sake and not for football, bas-
ketball, track work or baseball"
