ANNUAL COUNTY TRACK
MEET TO Be HELD HERE
PENDLETON WILL BE SCENE
HEREAFTER INSTEAD OF
AT ATHENA.

Hereafter, the annual county high
school track meet will be held in
Pendleton instead of Athena and the
contest will be open to the athletes OF
all the high schools in the county
except the Pendleton high school
This was the decision reached Sat
urday afternoon at meeting OF the
executive committee of the Umatilla
County Athletic and Oratorical asso-
citation in this city.
The staging of the meet In Pendle
ton instead of Athena was decided up
on because of the more central loca-
ton of this city. Heretofore, the
west end schools have not been rep,
resented at the meet because of the
heavy expense but hereafter will send
teams to try for honors.
The withdrawal of Pendleton from
the track meet was taken because of
the fact that the local school is much
larger than any of the other schools
and turns out a much better balanced
team. one that easily wins the meet.
thus lessening the element OF compe-
ton. The local school concurred In
the action taken.
The tentative date OF the meet this
year is April 25. providing the stag
ing of the meet will not conflict with
the odd Fellows convention in this
city. 1t was thought that it would
afford an entertainment for the lodge
delegates. and. II this arrangement is
satifactory to the lodge. the date will
become established.
The oratorical meet will be held in
the evening OF the same day or on
the evening prior and In this PEN
dleton will be permitted TO have rep
resentation.

he referred it to the PostOffice Depart

/ of getting &c pound for tobacco you
had to pay $1,000 dollars. and then
goes on and offers to do all this
business for IL Of ! pct. Well we
don't care much for this criticism,
for the American Society Of Equity
is a great and noble organization and
all that this big hearted man has
said reminds US of the story of the
OK down in Texas, when the gnat
lit on his horn and asked the OK II
he had any objection to his being
there, when the noble animal remark
ed, 81 should not have known you

But we will not criticise the plans
of any man till we know what they
are, so we will ask the gentleman to
just submit his plans and then we
will he free to offer just such crit
icism as We think we should, we wish
to say we have noticed this article
of Mr.. McAdams because 1T was ad-
dressed to the A. s. of E; and this
organization was brought into being
to protec' the farmer and Of course
this covers the tobacco grower. Now If
Mr.. McAdam's plan would force all
tobacco of this District to 60 to
Greensboro to be sold certainly we
would not want his plan, for it was
centralized effort that brought about
conditions which oppressed the to-
bacco grower and to defeat that
which the Society of Equity stands
for today, but come ON with your
plan and let us Sec, and then We will
consider whether under that proposal
pan when put in practice We could
demand and obtain &c for tobacco.
as the gentleman admits we got last
year cpd we want to suggest just
here that perhaps the untiring efforts
of theee men that are classed as
usufcrs, covctous. and withal very
hard follows, and that cost the to-
bacco growers the enormous sum Of
81 900 dollars. (and maintained re-
ceiving points close to home) brought
to the growers of this same tobacco
many times $1,000 dollars that you
win never be able TO get if you un-
dertakc to sell without pooling. so
we will stop just here till We have
another chapter from tho philanthrop-
ic mind of Mr.. McAdams.
