that time were $1.43 per square yard
for Dolarway and sl.45 for gravel bi-
tulithic.

PENDLETON MAY ENTER WITH
OTHER TOWNS FOR sun
DAY GAMES,

Since Pendleton has surrendered
her franchise in the Western Tri-
state league. baseball enthusiasts
have commenced again to talk about
organizing a county league and II Is
very probable that Pendleton will
take berth in a league comprising
Pilot Rock. Weston. Athena and other
towns. The schedule will include
Sunday games only as in the days OF
the Blue Mountain League.
A local committee from the Com
mercial association Is now consider
ing the matter with the fans In the
small towns and something definite
will develop soon. The smaller
towns are eager for such league
and Pendleton seems ready to take
semi-professional or amateur ball
rather than none at all.
The action of the Pendleton club
in drawing out OF the Western Tri-
state bids fair to disrupt that league.
according to reports being received
from the other three cities A dis-
patch from Baker has It that the bus

that the campaign for funds has been

Vale and Lewiston are both being
considered as substitutes for Pendlss

up
Pendleton's withdrawal Is giving
the city anything but desirable adver-
tising. many OF the papers OF tho,
