a corridor runs from end to end OF the

team will meet the team from the
Waitsburg Academy in the Conner
cial association gymnasium this eve
ming at Z o'clock. This will be the
third game to be played by the local
academy ball tossers this year but 1t
will be the first time that their
friends have had an opportunity to
see them in action as the other games
have been played away from home.
Profiting by the experience of the
other two games the lineup af the
PendletOn team has been greatly
strengthened. Prof Groenwald has
also been putting the boys through
some hard practices and it is expect
ed they will be able to give a good
account Of themselves
The lineup will be Taylor. center:
McEwen, right guard; Olcott, left
guard; Norvel left forward Porter,
right forward. The team has been
greatly strengthened by Harry Olcott
who was unable to play in the former
games on account Of an injured knee.

alton gymnasium mya be had either
at the Main street fairway or from
Court street. Either entrance is the
first from the corner.

TOBACCO WAS HIS CASH
CUSTOMS DON'T KNOW WORTH

San Francisco, Jan. 15-The Gus.
toms officers of this city are in some
thing Of a quandaTy over a shipment
Of curios dispatched to this port by
Jack London, the author, from the
South Sea Islands.
The curios range from rudely cary
ed beaten idols to yards of cloths OF
native weaving, and complying with
the customs regulations Landon has
given in the invoice accompanying the
shipment the exact purchase price Of
each article. This is where the trou-
bic starts.
The government appraisers are at
loss to figure the proper ad volor-
EN- duty guaged by its foreign value
Of; Item, one roll of tapa cloth,
which cost two plugs Of tobacco or.
item, one hand carved god valued at
eight pounds of glass beads.
1t is in this way that the author
has made out his papers and the Gus
toms officers are still wondering what
mode of figuring they will have to
use to fix the duty payable.

WOULD ADVERTISE MILTON
IN SHORT CATCHY PHRASES

Milton, Jan. 14.-Much interest is
being aroused among residents OF
Milton over the special prize offered
by the Milton Progressive club for the
best phrase, of three or four words,
which would advertise Milton in out
side districts by being placed on en-
velopes and stationery to be sent out
Of Milton by business men and others.
Already several phrases have been
suggested and many more are ex-
pected to be sent in when the Pro-
gressive club holds its next meeting on
Monday night, January Is,
Since the idea was first mentioned
the ned Of such a phrase as an adver-
tising medium has been recognized
more than ever and the adoption Of
such a phrase will be welcomed by
the residents Of Milton as a great
thing tward the increase in popu-
lation and general activity in this
section of the county.

COUNTY ENJO|NEO
SLEUTH PAYLESS
COURT CAN NOT PAY
BILL FOR DETECTIVE
Judge Bean Issues Restraining Order
Last Evening on Petition of Chas.
Cunningham and w. l.. Michael,
Taxpayers-District Attorney Indi-
Gates That Fight Is just Starting.

To prevent. If possible, the payment
OF the bill of $3.50 incurred by the dis.
trict attorney in employing a detec.
tive to secure the evidence by which
the grand jury was enabled to return
wholesale lot of indictments and by
which the county was made the richer
by some $1,000, an injunction suit was
filed in the circuit court, late yester-
day afternoon. A temporary restrain
ing order was Immediately issued by
Judge Bean, restraining the clerk and
treasurer from paying the bill.
The suit was filed by Carter &
Smythe for C. c. Cunningham, the ex-
sheep king of oregon, and w. f.
Michael, wheat grower. The CON-
plant charges that the county court
in authorizing the payment of the
bill lacted without authority and with
out jurisdiction. 1t Is also alleged
that the county is exceeding the $4,000
voluntary Indebtedness allowed by
law.
The Indebtedness at present is about
$4,000 and it urged that the detec-
tive's bill is one which the county
court may pay at its discretion and
therefore comes under the head OF
voluntary Indebtedness.
This bill is the one for which Com
missioner Walker refused to sign the
order of payment and to which Com
missioner Lee affixed his signature
only after long delay.
When seen this morning District
Attorney Phelps said he was busy
with the grand jury just now and
could not say when the case would
be brought up for argument. In
stating that the beginning of the end
IF the case is yet far off, it is under
stood that the district attorney has
trick or two up his sleeve himself.
The filing of the suit has been the
subject of much comment on the
street and at the court house. 1t IL
ooked upon generally as an attempt
o tie the hands of the district attor-
ley in his attempt to enforce the law,
md step toward an attempt at max |
ng farce out of prohibition in the
county, rather than an honest effort
o save money for the taxpayers.
