TURKEYS ARE E!>><<<. : )
CENTS POy''.' IS
THAN A YEAR AGO
Chickens Also, and Other Poultry
Little Cheaper Prices Here Better
Than in Portland.

Thanksgiving turkeys are five cents
pound cheaper in Pendleton today
than they were year ago and other
table fowl are likewise more within
the reach of the pocketbook of the
average man though the difference
in price of chickens, ducks and geese
is not so great as with turkeys. The
choicest dressed turkeys are today
selling for "a and 25 cents per pound
whereas year ago they commanded
2S and 80 cents.
Local dealers declare turkeys are
much more plentiful this year than
last, hence the reduction. Most OF
the markets contracted their turkeys
early at IS cents a pound alive but
within the past few days, the birds
have been offered as low as Is.
Geese are bringing II cents a pound
dressed and IL cents alive. Ducks
likewise bring Is cents dressed and
about a half cent more than geese
on foot. Spring chickens and hens
are bringing l2 1-2 cents alive and
90 cents when dressed.
The local prices are about the same
, as in other parts of eastern Oregon
, The prices here are perhaps a littl,
better than prevail in Portland.

Ell PASO. Nov. 26.-That more
men have been killed during the
fighting south Of here than in any
Mexican battle since the American in
vasion IL the most definite informa-
ton obtained from Colonel Medina,
the commander in charge at Juarez
during the absence of General Villa.
Medina would not hazard a guest, but
soldiers in the fight said the number
killed must be well above 1000.
General villa is expected to arrive
from the front this afternoon with de-
tails OF the fight He telegraphed
this morning that the federais are

No intimatlon was given In Villas
dispatch that the rebels are pursuing
the federals, and It Is thought likely
that they need u little time to recup-
crate from the desperate encounter.
The battle OF TERRA Blanca, as 1t Is
referred to by the rebels, lasted al
together from few minutes after 4
o'clock Monday afternoon until I
O'Clock Tuesday night
Though II is expected that villa
win deny 1t, there is no question but
that many federal prisoners were ex-
acuted on the field. Stories have been
heard OF as many as 80 or 40 prisoners
having been shot down together The
number OF prisoners taken Is estimat-
ed at 700 although 1t was not asserted
that all these had been massacred.
Many OF the wounded, especially OF
the federal forces. who were abandon
ed in the flight. are believed to be
still lying in lonely spots in the desert
where Il Is certain they cannot long
survive the exposure and hunger and
thirst even II they do not die of their

port that General Gonzales. who re-
Gently captured Victoria, has defeat

LOCAL CHURCHES WILL
OBSERVE THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving Day tomorrow will be
observed by the churches here with
services appropriate to the occasion.
An effort is being made to have large
attendances as most Of the ministers
feel that this special day has not in
the past been kept with the solemnity
which Is its due. With this idea in
view the Methodist, Presbyterian,
Christian and Baptist churches have
arranged for union service to be held
in the Methodist church and the hour
has been set for 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning so that all may attend and
be enabled to return home in ample
time to enjoy the Thanksgiving din
ner
Rev. Gelv.n will preach the sermon
and there Will be appropriate music,
an excellent program having been
arranged.
At the Church Of the Redeemer,
the Thanksgiving service will begin
at l0:30 o'clock. The anthems
Great Is the Lord" and Send Out
Thy Light" will be sung by the
choir. There will be several solos. The
sermon by Rev. Charles Quincy will
be from the text. MY Mouth Shall
Speak the Praise of the Lord
Psalms, 1861.
At the Christian Science church the
services will be at IL o'clock. The
subject of the lesson sermon will be
Thanksgiving.
At St Mary's Catholic church ser
vices will be held tomorrow morning
at s o'clock. The children's choir

DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP
LOCAL HIGH AND WALLOWA WILL
FIGHT 1T OUT ON GRID
IRON TOMORROW.

Promptly at 8 o'clock tomorrow af-
ternoon. Pendleton high school will
start her football team against the
Wallowa team in fight that will de-
eide the championship of eastern Ore
gon and there promises to be a record
breaking crowd in attendance. the
weather being much more favorable
at this time of the year than it has
been for several seasons. The opening
of the game was postponed until 3
o'clock in order not to interfere with
the Thanksgiving dinners but it will
start right on the dot at in order
that the visiting team may return on
No. IS.
The game will probably be refereed
by one of the greatest football play
ers ever developed in America in the
person of Dick Smith. former Uni
verslty of Oregon captain AMI some
years later halfback on the Columbia
eleven of New York and of the All
American mythical team. He is now
practicing attorney in Eugene and
is in Pendleton to settle up the estate
of the late C. C. Hendricks.
Coach Asbahr and his players are
expecting by far the hardest battle OF
the year. A letter received by the
LEGAL coach today from Coach Reynolds
of La Grande conveys the news that
the Wallowa team is not an over-esti.
! mated aggregation but Is fast, strong
| bunch of players that have earned
their right to battle for the champion
