total Of twelve points, the club having
bccn the successful contenders in every

both have ten points to their credit.
In order TO at least finish the season
with a tie, the local boys must win each
of their three remaining matches, and
with tins end in view the Wilmington
bunch is expected TO turn out IN a body
tomorrow To hand wallop to Clearview.

league race, they have n fine bunch of
shooters and unless the locals are well pre-
pared they are likely To be handed a sur
PRISE.

poncnts and their match at that place is

CANADIANS TO
BE HERE SUNDAY
OFFICERS WILL TELL EXPERIENCES
Meeting at Asbury Methodist Church =
Delegation Of Citizens Will Greet
Visitors at Station

From preparations that are now be-
ing made, one of the most enthusiastic
meetings ever held here will take place
at the Asbury Methodist church Sunday
afternoon, when addresses will be de-
livered by Major F. b. Edwards and
Capt. E. J. Cook, officers of the Cana
dian army, home from the trenches re.
cuperating from wounds, will deliver
addresses. The visiting officers, who
have been touring the state for the
past several weeks under the auspices
of the Oregon Council of Defense, will
tell of their experience in the battle
front. In a degree they will bring the
war and its meaning to the people of
Hood River county.
Up to last Saturday the two officers
above named have been accompanied
by Lieut.. Col. T. NJ. Mcmillan, third
Canadian officer, who was called TO
Vancouver, b. c., while at Baker. The
three men have been accompanied on
their tour by Bruce Dennis, secretary
of the Oregon Defnse Council, who will
be here with them Sunday.
At all the points where they have
appeared, the Canadians have been
greeted by overcrowded houses, and il
is feared that the Methodist church
will not nearly accommodate the big
audience next Sunday. The meeting
will be presided over by Mayor Dunn
BILE. Three patriotic solos win be rem
dered by Mrs. c. H. Sletton.
