FINE RECORD FOR
BASKET BALL TEAM
WALLOWA COUNTY HIGH TEAM
QUITS FoRTY-FoUR POINTS
TO THE GOOD.

The boys basket ball team of the
w. c. H. S. have disbanded for the
year. The games scheduled with
Lostine and Wallowa High schools
have been cancelled on account of
the scarlet fever in those two towns.
This team, although defeated in
its first games, at last raised its
points till it now stands Al points to
the good. The defeats were due to
the want of practice and coach.
Read, captain, at right forward,
heads the list in points, having a
grand total of 81 made in five games.
Cramer, at center, ranks second in
games. Skaggs, manager, at left for
ward, made a score of nine points in
Az games. French has a total of 8
points in 31a games; Emmons and
Brines at rg and ,g secured six
points respectively. Emmons played
games and Brines 3 games. Berry
played at center the first game and
although he guarded well he failed
to cage the ball. Read at foul basket
shooting is marvel. He Gagged 8
straight at Joseph, and 16 out of Is
at Enterprise.
The games played are as follows:
w. C. H. S. VS. Joseph H. s. 7-22.
w. G. H. S. VS. Joseph H. s. .2O-22.
w. c. H. S. VS. Cove H. S. 1S-21.
w. c. H. S. VS. Wallowa H. S. 41-6.
w. C. H. S. VS. Lostine H. S. AIS.
The team had sc points scored
against them, while they scored 1870
points, giving them total of "A point
to the good.
This is the teams first year at
basket ball and if it plays together
next year there is no doubt but
that it will rank as the best team
in Eastern Oregon.
Candidates for the base ball squad
have been getting in shape, the past
two weeks, and much good material
is being developed.
Almost all of last years team Isl on
hand and with careful attention to
inside work of the game, combined
with steady team work, the prospects
for the school having a fast and
snappy team are excellent, and
some good games may be looked for.

GREAT ADVANCE
IN EIGHT YEARS
PRESIDENT BECkWITH SAYS
CHICKEN BUSINESS TO BE
MOST PROFITABLE

Portland, March 14.-After a care
ful and exhaustive study of market
conditions in the Pacific Northwest
during the past eight years, Presi
dent Harvey Beckwith of the Port
land Commercial club makes the
: startling statement that prices paid
to farmers for eleven different arti
cles of food, all necessities. advanc
ed 3l,4 per cent between April. 1902
and October, 1910, and he backs up
his statement by quotations from
market reports published in Portland
during that period.
These figures" said President
Beckwith, indicate that Portland is
high priced market for farm pro
duce, and the high prices are direct
ly chargeable to the great increase
In consumption over production. The
demands of rapidly growing popu-
lation have more than kept pace
with the increase in the quantity
of essential foodstuffs sent to mark
ct by the farmers of the state, and
this condition is one that is not like
ly to be changed for long time. if
ever, and the situation is a very
inviting one to the producer.
In the table of prices submitted
are two items to which / desire to
call particular attention-eggs and
poultry. There Is no good reason
why the Pacific Northwest should not
produce eggs and chickens enough to
fully supply the local demand and
thus relieve the wholesalers from
the necessity of ordering carload af-
ter carload from the Middle West.
There is absolutely no danger of
overproduction In these lines. in fact
there is little prospect that the sup
ply will ever exceed, or even equal,
the demand.
Let us assume that there are 5000
farmers in Oregon and that at the
present time each farmer is keeping
an average of 20 hens. 1t is prob
ably fair to estimate that each hen
Will raise, during the coming summer,
brood Of ten chickens and during
the balance of the year will lay 12
dozen eggs. The chickens should Ger
tainly be worth SO cents each when
ready for market, and the eggs will
sell at minimum price of 25 cents
per dozen, total of $500. and the
farmer still has the original hen. An
addition of only one hen by each far
mer, on this basis, will amount to SAC
600 annually and, If given the time
and attention this important indust-
ry deserves, the net returns from the
poultry yards Of the state may, easily
exceed those from the wheat fields"

Plan To Aid All
Northwest Fruitmen
Systematic Method of Distribution
Is Plan OF WalIa WalIa
Conference.

To work out a systematic method
of distribution for handling the $10,-
100000 fruit crop of the Northwest
Is the purpose of the plan adopted
at the horticultural conference re-
Gently held in Walla Walla. 1t was
attended by Representatives Of the
leading growers of Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and Montana. They made
considerable progress in forming a
tentative organization which has been
referred to the separate localities
for approval. Heretofore, the various
districts, all of which have a common
interest, have been in competition
with each other. Frequently the re-
suits have been disastrous. Some
markets have been glutted, while 9th
ers were overlooked. This condition
grew out of the fact that the grow
ers have let the situation handle
them, instead of they handling the
situation. 1t is not intended that
the proposed central selling agency
shall operate in restraint of trade
Its purpose is to advance the inter-
ests of the grower and consumer,
bringing them closer together, by ell
iminating middlemen. 1t will bene-
fit the dealer by reducing speculative
uncertainties.
That Howard Elliott will not leave
the Northern Pacific for the high of

lines. is good news to the Northwest
President Elliott has always been a
resourceful force for the advancement
of the Northwest, being one OF its
best boosters. His long association
with this section has given him
practical knowledge, the loss of which
would be felt. The invitation to take
charge of the Missouri Pacific is a
high compliment to Mr.. Elliott's abb
ility as railroad executive.

Excellent Outlook
For The Revival
Many Attend Opening Services Last
Sunday-Expect To Have
Large Chorus.

The meetings opened at the Baptist
church Sunday evening with a fine
attendance. Many from the Chris
tian church were present, B. F. Miller
having very kindly withdrawn his ap-
pointment for that evening.
The revival has the stamp of genu-
ineness upon it. Two persons went
forward Sunday to unite and two
more Tuesday evening, all adults.
Rev. B. F. Meredith and Rev. Sam
uel Harris were present and assisted
in the meeting Monday evening prom
ising hearty cooperation of them
selves and people so far as possible.
The musical service is a special
feature and it is hoped soon to form
large and effective chorus. Mr..
Reavis and daughter Mildred are as
sisting greatly with their violins. An
attempt will be made to enlist all
the musical people of the town who
love to sing.
The meetings close promptly each
evening, giving everybody a chance
to reach home by nine O'Clock. The
evangelist does not believe in pro-
tracted meetings that tire everybody
out with the length or the number of
services.

Nothing To Compare
With Old WaIIowa

The Chapman district has a Boost
er" club. At recent meeting of the
literary society, the following vers
es entitled Advice to Homeseek ers'
were read and so much appreciated
by the boosters of that community
they were sent to the county paper
for publication. The poem was writ
ten by Edgar Woods:
From Snake river to Rondowa
You can search our country through,
And you'll find that old Wallowa
Is the best that you can do.
Lands there be that are more level
And more pleasant to the sight,
But tbs here that livestock revel
In bunch-grass that's out of sight.
IL Is true that there are drawbacks,
But please show the land to me
Where we find that naught is lacking
And from all discomforts free.
True the squirrels are bad in summer
But were only passing through
what each part of all our broad land
Underwent when still but new.
Then the nights are cool and pleasant
When the grain we have to reap,
When all day we've nobly labored
We can rest in peaceful sleep.
And we have our snow in winter;
Listen to the jingling bells
While the shouts and merry laughter
A world of,rapture tells.
And our scenery for its grandeur
Rivals any in the land:
Many leagues you'll have to travel
Ere you find one half as grand.
When you travel o'er our county,
See its rivers, lakes and streams,
See the crops we harvest yearly,
You will bide among these scenes.
Lake Wallowa is as pretty
AS you'll find meath Alpine hills,
While the climate here will cure you
Of multitude of ills.
While the streams that flowing seaward
Clear as crystal, cold as ice
Harbor trout, and just the angling
Is for you the only price.
So if you perchance are looking
For place to settle down
Here's the place to try your fortunes
And success will be your crown.

sirable immigrants on the Oregon

Lacking the necessary appropriation
TO carry on the work, public spirited
citizens of Portland will shoulder the
expense. The passage of the law will
at least provide for state Endorsement
of promotion literature that shall
be issued to attract immigration and
this will make this matter authora-
tive so 1t will carry more weight and
at the same time guard against boom
er matter. This will be for the bene-
fit of the whole state and not any
section alone. A state book, showing
Oregons advantages, will be issued

A suggestion comes from Polk
county that people of the whole
state might adopt with profit. A
family recently came there from the
East, bought farm and intended to
live there permanently. After time
they sold their land and returned to
the East. The reason was that no
body visited them, their neighbors
did not seem to know of their exist
ence and the newcomers quit the
state In disgust. The Dallas Item
izer has the right idea when 1t says:
"1f you want newcomers, make them
feel at home"
Recent events illustrate In strik-
ing way the advantages of the Ore
gon climate. The first was the plant
Ing OF roses In Portland parks on

ond was the Multnomah club swim
