'PROFS" DEFEAT
BUSINESS MEN
WILDLY EXCITING GAME
PLAYED LAST EVENING
Instructors Take Lead in First Half
But Contest is Close Throughout
Defeated Team Makes Most
Points in Last Half-Large Crowd
is Enthusiastic.

In the hottest game Of basket ball
played in Pendleton for many a day
the high school professors defeated
the Commercial club team by score
OF 33 to 29 last evening.
Through their superiority in throw
ing baskets the "Facultops" were
able to down the "Oslerites" time and
again. Allen, Potter and G-oenwald
dropped the ball into the basket run
ming up the score for their side. For
the club team fine work was also
done by the forwards, Nelson and
Hartman. But it was an off night
for them and they were unable to
land goals as accurately as were
their opponents.
In the first half the faculty players
led the game, the half ending with
the score 22 to IA in their favor. But
at the beginning of the second half the
club players took a brace and soon
had the gap eliminated. From that
time until the close of the game 1t
was a nip" and tuck" contest.
Professors Hampton and Carruth
played guards on the faculty team.
Both watched their opposing for
wards with much affection. The
same was true of Averill and Nc
Kinney, guards on the club team.
Tarbet, center for the club team, was
the biggest man in the game, but he
had a very high jumping opponent
in the person of Potter.
George Cooley and viii Penland
served as officials. They called
few fouls but allowed much latitude
throughout the entire game.
For the game the little gallery in
the gymnasium was completely filled
by a crowd of enthusiastic, appreci-
ative rooters. Applause was gener-
ously bestowed upon both teams.

GOVERNMENT REPORT
ON OREGON OIL

The following is taken from a re-
cent government bulletin on oil con-
ditions in the different states in the
union:
"a well is in process of drilling
near Ontario, eastern Oregon, by a
syndicate of business men. The syn
dicate has large area under lease,
and ii is proposed to continue this
well to a depth of at least 5000 feet
to thoroughly test the resources OF
the region, The encouraging feature
so far has been a good showing of
natural gas. 1t has not been possible
to subs,antate the claim made in re-
gard to previous well that oil was
actually obtained. Testing operations
are also in progress at Vale, Oregon

THE POULTRY YARD
's.s.s....s..... .

Anybody can keep hens, but not
anybody can have hens keep him.
Throw the house wideopen for IN
hour or so on pleasant days, and give
thorough airing.
Sounds good to hear the merry
cackle of the hens, and how glad we
are to see the egg crop increasing.
1t will be many weeks before the
hen with the frozen comb will do
anything toward filling the egg basket
Too much pure air in the quarters
is almost impossible. Give plenty OF
ventilation, avoiding direct drafts
Mix tablespoonful of charcoal with
quart Of mash, every other day dur
ing this month. 1t will have Won
derful tonic effect
A cold, uncomfortable hen will not
lay. The expert poultryman knows
that, and accordingly he feeds well
and makes his fowls work.
Green stuff is a scarce article these
days. Steamed clover and leaves are
good substitute The clover cen
tains lime and other elements that in
crease egg production.
Do not allow the fowls outdoors un-
less the runs ere clear cf snow. Poul-
try thatare compelled to eat snow to
quench theih thirst are apt to suffer
from bowl disorder
February is the beginning of the
duck-layirg season, but not before the
latter end of the month. Young duck
lings. well reared, are laying now, but
there is not much profit in their eggs
as they are not suitable for Matching.
Heat is needed in the poultry house
only when the ventilation is so bad
that the air would be moist without
the heat to compel the air TO absorb
it. But it is more reasonable proper
ly to ventilate the poultry house and
keep it dry in that way.
If there is bad weather coming to
us. it generally makes its appearance
during February. The wise poultry
man is the one who has already pre-
pared for tina emergency, and hens
are not only comfortable, but are lay
ing eggs in large quantities.
The best way to warm poultry is by
giving them something to do. So
keep plenty of litter on the floor and
scatter grain in it. Make it a rule to
leave the laying hens to themselves
during the fore part of the day. That
is their busy time and they do not
like to be disturbed then.
In charging an incubator with eggs
they should all be of uniform size
and color. The brownshells are
than the white shells. and |
therefore demand different treatment
Moisture or ventilation sufficient for
the one class would not do for the
other. This is the cause of many
'ailures.
Hen mites can be killed in winter
Is well as summer. II the hens can
,e removed to other quarters, the
process will destroy the nit
IS; but it must be kept up for sevral
lays in succession. Put cobs, chips,
tc., with little sulphur, into lar
,e kettle and set it on stones in the
enter of the pen. Keep it supplied
nd keep watch over it.
