the Federation of Labor will establish
a commissary and furnish food for
the strikers. The state authorities

LIGHT SAYS CALDWELL
MAY TAKE OFFICE
Especial to The Farmer)

Hartford, Feb. Attorney Gener-
al John H. Light was asked if he had
arrived at a decision in regard to the
request of the committee on executive
nominations as to the legality of Gov
ernor Baldwin'S appointing emit of Mr..
Caldwell for highway commissioner.
He said that he had prepared his opin-
ion for presentation to the commit
tee this morning and that he would
find that the appointment of Mr.. Cad
we'll by the governor was legal and
that, if the appointment was confirm
ed by the Senate it would be valid and
Mr.. Caldwell could succeed Highway
Commissioner James H Macdonald
in that office. This opinion agrees
with the contention of the Democrats
that Mr.. Macdonald is a hoId-over.
and that, almost two years ago failed
of confirmation, Mr.. Macdonald does
not hold his office for another term
of four years.

GO DOWN TO DEFEAT

Walla Walla, Wash, March IL
A crowd of hungry fans saw Zebra
der's Yannigans squash the Bears in
a well played game at Sportsmen
park yesterday afternoon, to 8. Over
a dozen of Bade's proteges for this
season were out in uniform and the
bunch made a favorable impression.
Starr, the little Indian who came all
the way from Wisconsin to try out
with the squad, was played at short
and showed up well. 1t was the first
time this season he had hold of the
ball but he was good both at the bat
and in the field.
Jonas continued his sensational
pitching and whitfield an even dozen
of the Yannigans in the first five in
nings. In one inning he struck out
the three men to face him, and in an
other inning he famed three. There
was not hit scored off him in the en-
tire five cantos.
The game was pitchers battle in
the first five innings both Jonas and
Schrader being in rare form. The
men in the field also played good ball
Leonard replaced Jonas in the sixth
and Frink relieved Schrader Neither
Frank nor Leonard have had any
work this season and the lobbed them

TEAM SELECTED

At the try-out for the high school
debating team, which meets La
Grande during the latter part Of
April, Oscar Ferguson, Rupert Will
hanson and Paul Finnell were chosen
by the faculty to represent the school.
Seven students entered the try-out
and a close contest was the result
The others trying out were Frances
Smith, who was chosen as first alter
nate; Ethel Freeman, Airline McMon-
les and Ernest Crockett.
La Grande and Pendleton have been
rivals in forensic endeavor and each
school will undoubtedly strive hard
to gain the coveted honor of super
iority in platform exposition.
Although men new at debating work
Coach A. C. Hampton can always be
depended upon and in all probability
Will turn out a team of first rank as
he has done by thrice sending a team
to Eugene to compete in the finals
for the high school championship Of
the state.
