Polar Reflections.

How awful 'twould be to live at the pole.
With no back yard but an Icy shoal
And no front lawn but big, deep hole
At the pole!
Nowhere to get your breakfast roll.
Nowhere to buy a load of coal.
Nowhere to go for pleasant stroll
At the pole!
Nowhere to sit on grassy knoll
Or the mossy side of fallen bole
And idly loaf and invite your soul
At the pole!
Doesn't It seem little droll?
There's nothing to do but to enroll
Your name upon fame's glittering scroll
At the pole!

Great Events For
Enterprise Fans
La Grande H. S. and w. c. II. s.
Friday and saturday-6ig
Game Sunday.

There are great events in store for
the Enterprise fans. Friday and Sat
urday of this week the La Grande
High School team will meet the
Wallowa County High School team,
at Enterprise in series of two
games, and the public is promised a
good entertainment for the two
days. The Wallowa County High
School team is the aggregation that
defeated the Lostine team here last
Saturday by good margin, and the
local boys are confident over the
outcome of the future games.
Perhaps the big game of the week
will be that of the Joseph team and
the Enterprise city team, Sunday.
The Enterprise boys have just re-
ceived the new suits, and the Sum
day game will be the introduction of
the team decked out in the new
trimmings"
Last Saturdays Game.
The game on Saturday between
Wa'Iowa County High school and
Lostine High school was an extreme
ly creditable exhibition of the ma.
ttonal game. 1t was won by the
County high, but their defeat brought
no discredit to the Los tine boys who
considering their lack of training,
pat up strong game.
While the local boys played well
and deserved their victory, the prin'
cipal part Of the credit belongs to
Cramer, who pitched In big league
style. Cramer promises to be the
find of the season. He had every
thing pitcher needs, including al
Lost perfect control. In the first
i'll ing he retired the side with seven
oitohed balls. In the second inning
he struck out Fleener with foul
pitched balls and Immediately follow
cd it up by striking out Leonard
with the same number. In the ninth
inning he retired the side with foul
pitched balls. In the nine innings
neither a wild pitch nor base OF
balls was charged to him. Wilson
caught good game, although thu
steadiness of Cramer made his worl
easy. OF the other players, Ault a
second and Vest in left, starred. o
the Lostine boys, Cook caught ;
very creditable game, considerini
the extreme wildness of Haun, ant
9Snmpter, at first, was a star.
| The runs came this way: In tn

struck out, Wilson singled to righ

OUR TOWNS URGENT NEED
Immediate and Thorough Construction of Road From
 difarod City to tl1e Greeks

This city has plenty of goods and is nearer to the
 mines than either of them yet every day the officers of the government only getting dollars from the people by threatening 10 throw them in jail.
 The proposition needs demonstration beyond the mere statement. It is plain wart on a pumpkin that if tarod City cannot get freight to the creeks cheap y Otter City and Dikeman will get the business 1t as plain s black and white that good road cannot be built to the creeks this with the present available funds entirely plain that the people here will have to dig and dig up quick
 The draining ditches should be dug There hundred idle men the camp who will go to work They should be working that road There 10 miles of and it must be built else Iditarod City dead
 meeting has been held and subscription list is go ing the rounds. It is headed by good looking sums The big investors protecting their interests and the smaller ones will come in with their proportion.
 On another page we publish that list and the amounts given and will hammer away this proposition until the COWS come home or the road is built.

MACHINERY
 MOVING TO
 THE CREEKS

For those wise ones and merry scoffers who said that no machinery would be landed on tue creeks this summer, there is a fine and inspir- ing object lesson waiting out on Otter where he who runs may read that there is really something do- ing the matter of taking out the gold.
 Tn spite of tue fact that Otter creek as a highway of navigation did not look good to many this spring she has made good ill a manner satisfactory to some of the freighters, and the boilers that were apparently doomed to rust on the bank at Otter City are now smok- ing up at 1 above and whereabouts.
 More than half dozen plants have been landed and things are looking fine for late summer p,o- duction, particularly at the Bates, Merritt & Mckenzie lay, at Hens ley's and George Riley, all on above, Otter. At each of these three lays three plants have been landed within the last few days. Bates and partners have new 30, Hensley and partners have a 55 horsepower boiler and hoist and Riley has 50 which he took out from this city, skidding it under it's own steam.
 On tue Celene Fraction, strip just above Discovery, Futile has a 30 horsepower and James Dolan has smaller boiler which has just been put on the ground.
 On I below, Mickie McHale is there with new 50 and with his partners will be scratching the gravel on the high speed the bal ance of tue summer.
 Riley has big piece of ground stripped on the lower end ot I above and from this claim 1t looks as though complete and satisfac- tory demonstration will come be- fore the snow flies. He will be open-cutting here with bottomless scrapers, and is said to be ill the money.
 Owing to the heavy going up Flat creek plants are slower getting to the ground there than on Otter, but even at that there will be a number working there before the freezeup.
 Manley & Price are using every effort to get machinery to the Mari etta at the head of the creek as they have ground that is touted as the best ill the country. They are con- fronted with a strenuous proposl- ton, but they are determined to start work this summer and with the gold in the ground wonders can be accomplished,
 It is expected that there will bea new plant on tie Bonanza half way up the creek where Friend, Lawson & James are said to be negotiating for or have already secured lay.
 There are many other proposl-. tions framed and framing where machinery will be necessary, where fore it looks as though there will be heavy movement ill all kinds of hardware throughout this summer.
