M0RED|AM0NDDUST
Club team again wins
from Fossil in ten-in-
ming game by score
of z to 8.

In a ten inning game played
last Sunday on the Condon Park
diamond the Club team again
wrested a victory from the Fos-
sill team, although by a narrow
margin. the score being Z to 6.
Like the other games played this
season by the Club team it was
close from start to finish and it
was only a batting rally in the
tenth inning that saved the local
team from defeat. Both games
played this year with Fossil have
been won in the last inning and
this shows that, although the
Club team is not especially strong
with the stick, the hits are usual
ly Forthcoming when needed.
Count" Ashenfelter was again
on the mound for Fossil and Wei
shons did the slab work for the
Club team. This was Welsh0ns'
first game for this season and al
though a little off color in the
first inning he soon settled down
and pitched his usual good game.
Many good plays were made in
cluding two fine catches in left
field by Fl. Fitzmaurice and b
double started by Kirch at second.
Mahaffey, Burns and C. Fitz-
maurice led the team in batting,
the former getting . three-base
hit with two men on bases while
Fitzmaurice and Burns cinched
the game in the last inning with
a two-base hit each. A good
sized crowd witnessed the game.
the receipts being a little over
$50. As soon as the men get
little more practice in their posi-
tons the Club team viii be hard
to beat and the spectators are al
ways sure of getting the worth
of their money.

LECTURE IN CONDON

on good roads by M.

The good roads meetin (Which
Is to be held in the Court House

evening, May %. promises to be
attended by a large majority
of the representative farmers
from all sections of the county.
The lecture which is to be given
will be fully illustrated so that
everyone may understand per-
fectly the points brought out.
Maurice 0. Eldridge, Assistant
Chief of Road Management, Of
flee of Public Roads. Washing
ton, d. c., will be in charge of
the lecture. Mr.. Eldrige bears
the reputation of being the best
good roads lecturer in the United
States and the opportunity OF
hearing him on next Monday will
be indeed an honor and a pleas
ure to the citizens OF this commu-
nifty. Hon. Lionel Webster of
Portland. the most prominent
good roads man in Oregon, and
Philip Bates, Secretary of the
State Thresherman's Association
are also to be present. This
movement is one of the best ever
started in this county and should
receive the hearty support of ev--
cry citizen. A good country road
is always to be desired and is q
source of comfort and conven-
ience to every traveller. Good
roads attract population as well
as good schools and churches.
Good roads improve the value of
property SO that it is said a farm
lying five miles from market,
connected by a bad road is of
less valde than equally good farm
lying ten miles away from mar
ket connected by good road. A
larger load can be drawn by one
horse over a good road than by
two over a bad one. Good roads
encourage the greater exchange
of products and commodities be-
tween one section and another.
Gillian county needs good roads
and this will be an exceptional
opportunity to learn about them.
Everyone should attend.

and elect officers :
Survey started.

The meeting Of the Rock Creek
Irrigation Co. which was held at
0lex on last Saturday was called
to order with H. d. Randall in
the chair and w. L. Wade,
Secretary pro tenn. After read
ing the minutes Of the previous
meeting and reports of the COM
mittees, several addresses were
delivered in regard to the water
question. The question of irri-
cation was submitted to a vote
and the result was unanimous in
favor of irrigation. The follow
ing board of officers was then
elected and a permanent organi-
zation secured: H. D. Randall,

John Smith of Portland, repre-
senting the Gillian Irrigation
90. of Blalock, was present, this
company having filed previous
water rights on Rock Creek.
and spoke ably on the various
questions concerning irrigation.

committee of the directors to
meet in joint convention with
the officers of the Gillian Irriga-
tion Co. in Arlington on May 21,
for the purpose of working in CO
operation on both schems which,
taken together, will represent
one of the largest enterprises of
the kind in the state. Much en-
thusiam was manifested through
out the meeting and the presence
of Mr.. Smith added greatly in
confirming the fact that people
in other parts of the county real
ize the extent of the water and
power facilities which are at
present lying idle. Various 9TH
er parts of the county were also
represented thus demonstrating
that those owning land not con-
tiguous to the project realize the
great benefits to be derived in
general from conservation.
The typographical survey of
the dam site and the canyon in
the water is to be reserv-
ed was started yesterday by en-
gineer McMorris. The capacity
of the main canyon and all side
canyons will be correctly estima-
ted and taken altogether this sur
