| their cost of maintenance and raise
colts worth $1,000.
The economy of the heavy mare on
the farm, both from the standpoint of
doing farm work and producing colts
compared with light and medium
weight mares is nicely summed up as
follows BY Secretary Dinsmore of the
Percheron Society of America: The
cost of maintenance under farm con
ditions is about the same the heavier
mares are more efficient in the work
of the farm. the colts are ready for
work year younger, and if carried
| to the same age, will bring about
twice as much as the colts from the
| light weight mares and about one.
third or one-quarter more than the
colts from the medium weight mares.
This summary was drawn up after
some careful thinking, upon the ques-
ton being put to the secretary by an
extensive land owner looking forward
to the purchase and breeding OF
horses, What kind of mares should
| use? | want to know all things con-
sidered whether | should buy 1900
pound, a 1,400 pound or LOO pound
mare?" In other words, the land
owner as a business man wanted to
know What would be the relative cost
of maintenance, what the relative eff
cheney on the farm and what the re!a-
tive market value of the colts pro-
duced, of these three classes of mares.
Here Is how he thinks out the mat
ter. and his thinking was based on eN-
tended observation and experience:
All three classes can, Of course, be
managed, as far as maintenance cost
is concerned, at about the same gen
eral figures. But in respect to working
efficiency, if we rate the LOO pound
horse at 100 per cent, liberal allow
ance is made if the 1,45O pound horse
is credited at 90 per cent, and the
1900 pound horse at so per cent. The
colts bred to a good draft sire will
average somewhere about 1900
pounds; colts from | ,450 pound mares
1000 to LOO pounds, and colts from
LOO pound mares, 1900 to 1000
pounds. Then, too, the lighter weight
colts necessarily make their full
weight only at maturity and they will
not be fit to sell until they are four
and one-half or five years of age The
same is true of the medium weight
colts, but buyers are securing the
country for heavy colts Every good
gelding is gathered up at three years
of age. The heavier colts sell earlier
or if carried until they are older and
then put on the market, the prices adj
vance accordingly. Colts weighing
around 1900 pounds will not bring
more than $140 to S175 on the average,
because they come in competition
with the great glut of common
light drafters on the market. Those
weighing around 1,65O pounds to LOO
pounds will bring 5000 to $240, and
heavy weight geldipgs will bring $500
10 $780, The heavy mares therefore
produce colts that bring from one
third to twice as much money as the
lower weight mares.

EASTERN OREGON BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
IS NOW WITH PENDLETON HIGH SCHOOL TEAM

In the fastest and hardest fought
basketball game held on local floor
for several years, the Pendleton high
school quintet last night won the
eastern oregon championship by de-
feating the crack M. I. A. team of La
Grande by the score OF &c to 25.
The visitors were much heavier
than the local boys and they combin-
ed speed and science with their
weight, making them most formidable
opponents, Their style of play, how
ever, lacked a great deal of being as
clean as that of the scholastics and
1t was this element that probably
contributed mostly to their defeat.
Indeed, had it not have been for the
combination of repeated fouls, UNI
pire Sturdivant's vigilant eye and the
remarkable ability of Houser to
convert the fouls into points, the PEN
dleton team would have probably
come out with the smaller score. Ten
points were added to the local string
in that manner while La Grande got
but three by the same route.
The first half ended IA to IL in

Pendleton's favor.
With the local boys in the lead,
the second half opened at a terrific
pace. The La Grande men set the
pace and for the first few minutes
swept the local players off their feet
and soon took the lead For fully
ten minutes Captain Jordan and his
men failed to annex a point except
through fouls but managed to keep
close beside the Union county shoot
ers by this method However, during
the last ten minutes after Houser
had hooked in beautiful basket
they started fierce rally which kept
the La Grande men from making any
more points. During this period the
ten men were chasing across the floor
at breakneck speed, lightning passes
We're made and the ball was hardly
allowed to touch the floor.
Points for Pendleton were made as
follows: Houser 16, Strain s, Jor-
dan 2; for La Grande, Hollister 4,

INDIANS DELAY
TRANSFER OF LAND

Temporarily held up by the protest
OF a few Indians on the reservation,
the bill authorizing the sale of about
200 acres of scab land near the
Thorn Hollow springs to the city of
Pendleton will probably again be put
upon the skid roads to passage when
a resolution passed by the council
last night reaches Washington.
The water commissioners were yes
terday notified by Senator Chamber
lain that the bill was delayed in the
committee room through receipt of
a protest from the redmen, which
protest was based upon the alleged
fact that Pendleton did not need the
land asked. A resolution setting
forth the need of the land was at
once drafted and upon the urgence of
Chairman Brown and Commissioner
Moore was passed unanimously last
night.
The land in question is absolutely
worthless for crop purposes and is un-
allotted because of its little value.
But as pointed out by Chairman
Brown last night, it is necessary that
the city own it in order that the
Thorn Hollow springs be kept free
from contamination.
