OREGON AcclEs WIN.

EAST LANSING, Mich, Oct. 3d.
Smashing the local line by a surprise
attack, the football eleven represent.
ing Oregon Agricultural college de-
feated the Michigan Aggies here to-
day, 20 TO O. The team from the Far
West had been represented as bril-
liant exponent of open football; In.
stead, Coach Stewards men used an
old-fashioned battering ram attack.
which resulted In three successful
marches for touchdowns.
Abraham, left halfback, was the
powerful foundation for Oregon's at
tack. IN the FIRST period he led q ter
rife oiIense. which carried the ball
TO M. A. Css Vineyard line. Then he
made the touchdown. Cole kicked
goal. The Michigan Aggies desper-
ately tried to tie the score, but after
working the ball 10 within three yards
Of the enemy's goal posts lost 1t on
downs.
The second period was hard fought
and without scoring. Abraham was
used time after time In the third
period. At times the Michigan line
melted before savage attacks which
sent the backs boring through the
guards and tackles With the ball on
the locals Vineyard line Allen scored
and Cole again goaled. The fourth
period was marked by similar plays.
Gains ranging from three to ten yards
finally resulted in a third touchdown.
Abraham made It. Goal was missed.
Oregon's line was too strong for the
Aggies to pierce and forward passes
nlixed with end runs gave them their
best gains The local college was q 2
70 favorite before the game.

He never had the opportunity. for
whenever he grabbed the ball an Ore

ONE BIG CELEBRATION At
PASCO PROPOSED IN PLAN
OF CELLO CANAL OPENING
SCHEME WOULD BE BETTER IT
Is THOUGHT THAN SEPAR-
ATE OBSERVANCES.

An urgent invitation to join with
Pasco. Kennewick and all other points
in the upper columbia basin in the
celebration of the opening OF the Ce-
lilo canal rather than to have separ-
ate celebrations at each point is the
latest development in the proposal
to observe fittingly the formal OPEN
ing of the canal A letter was re-
ceived by the Commercial association
this morning from A. ]. Elrod. secre-
tary of a Pasco-Kennewick committee
asking that Pendleton join in one bis
celebration at Pasco.
Because of the short period Of
time allotted each point on the river
for entertaining the down-the-river
excursion. Mr.. Elrod suggested that
il would be impracticable to prepare
celebrations on any scale at ever
town. II would be much more prac-
ticable he thinks. to have one large
celebration at Pasco and suggests
that a committee from that city come
here to discuss the matter with PEN
dletonians. The expense OF cele-
bration such as he proposes would be
borne by Pasco and Kennewick. he
states in his letter.
The matter has not yet been given
consideration by the directors OF the
association.

PLAN FOR ROAD TO THE
COLUMBIA GIVEN SETBACK

The failure of the legislature TO
enact any good roads legislation is
proving embarrassing to the Cold
Springs farmers in connection with
their move for a road to the Column
bia river. II was their hope that the
Brown good roads bill or some sim
liar measure would pass so that high
ways could be built with the expense
borne Jointly by the district affected,
the county and the state.
AS matters stand 1t is uncertain
whether there is a law under which
such a road as is desired may be built
even IL the farmers interested should
be willing to cooperate with the coun-
ty by forming a district to pay a large
portion Of the expense. They are
having this matter investigated by an
attorney and the committee is plan
ming for a meeting within the near
future to discuss the situation.
Members OF the committee were
expecting that some good roads leg
islation would be enacted and express
disappointment over the outcome.
However they are hopeful way may
yet be found whereby the road to the
river may be built.
II is desired to have a road to the
Columbia so that wheat OF the Cold
Springs region may be hauled to the
river after the boat lines are estab-
lished At present the farmers have
to haul their wheat uphill to Myrick
at q considerable expense.

BIG BROTHER ROLE.l.
IS BEING PLAfLS
BY UNITED STATES
Interests Of American Shipping to be
Put in Background in Future Deal
ingS With BeIIigerentS.
SELFISH MOTIVES TABOOEO
Object of This Country is TO Convince
European Nations Of Earnestness
OF Demands-Rights OF American
Shippers, However, VIII be Pro-
tected.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The Uni
ted States is now enacting the role OF
the big brother" to Germany and
England, administration officials
claimed in discussing the diplomatic
situation growing out Of the belliger-
ents hunger war"
The mailed fist Of "strict accounta-
bility'' which was shown in the recent
protest has been withdrawn and the
humanitarian idea hereafter will be
advanced in the American negot-
ations.
AS a result of England's veiled
taunts that the United States has ad-
opted an attitude of dollar diplo-
macy" the administration hereafter
will relegate to the background In its
negotiations the interests OF Ameri-
can commerce.
II is hoped the Belligerents will be
convinced that the United States is
not acting through selfish motives.
The United States expects to pro-
tect the rights OF American shippers
but it wishes to act in these cases
from the standpoint OF desire to BEN
eft humanity in general rather than
get whatever material benefit would
accrue to American commerce. One
Of the chief concerns of the president
and his advisers in the present situ-
alton Is the fear that il the belliger-
ent nations adopt a policy of retail
alton against each other such meas
ures would know no bounds. The
well grounded principles of interna-
tional law, hitherto universally accept
ed. might be distrusted or ignored al
together in the heat Of passion which
such retaliatory measures might en-
gender.

SUPERVISORY SYSTEM may
Be ABANDONED IN COUNTY

In all probability the county school
supervisory system will be abandoned
in Umatilla county the first of July,
according to Supt. l. f. Young.
Though the Dimick bill. as passed by
the legislature, leaves II optional with
the county whether or not the sys-
tenn shall be retained, Supt. Young
thinks 1t will be abolished here at the
expiration Of ]. A. Yeager's term in
July
Under the law as passed. the direc-
tors Of the various districts decide
for or against the system. A MAJOR
ity petition can either abolish or es-
tablish the office. Supt Young be-
lieves q repeal OF the supervisory law
or q law making the supervisory sys-
tenn mandatory would have been pre-
ferable to the present one inasmuch
as under the present law, a supervisor
would work under a disadvantage.

CELERY FOR SMALL GARDENS
AZ Rule It 10 Only Moderately Profit
able Crop-One of Most Deli
clous Of Vegetables.
(By L. M. BENNrNGToN.)

tBy l.. M. BENNINGTON)
Celery Is fairly good market crot
but there are many other crops thai
pay better In the famous Kalamazoo
district In Michigan, where the cror
Is grown exclusively on hundreds O,
acres by experts, 1t is stated that the
average profit after rental of land,
growing and marketing expenses are
paid does not exceed 800 per acre. DC.
casionally we hear of a phenomenal
crop, but as rule celery is only mod.
erately profitable.
1t is fine crop for every farmer to
grow because it is one of the most de.
licious vegetables produced. 1t is not
difficult to grow celery. 1t requires ex.
ceedingly rich land, some commercial
fertilizer and great care in cultivation
and bleaching.
In the Kalamazoo district, where
very fine celery Is grown, the soil is q
very black. rich, spongy sort of loan
but good celery is grown on sandy land
and on clay loan.
The ground must however, be pui
into thorough cultivation and very
