RAGGED GAME WON BY IONE Heppner Weakened in 6th Canto and Visitors Piled Up Scores. B CBKSTON MADDOCK ) lone woo a awatfest from Heppoer. Sunday, by a score of i to 0. Heppner got a poor start in the first. The bases were filled through errors by Eaton and McCarty, but Elder settled down and held the visitors scoreless In the sec ond canto, with hits by Haguewood, Elliot, and a few errors, lone netted three runs. Clark's boms run hit over centerfield, with two down, was one of the cleanest hits ever made on the Heppner grounds. up to the sixtti inning the game was close, but in this canto Eider blew up and after this the game was easy for lone. Heppner tried hard for a score in the sixth when Jaynes reached first on a hit after two men were down, but eager failed and this was their last chance. Not a man reached first after the sixth. Beasley's one-hand stab of Eaton's fly in the tilth was the best catch of the game. Jaynes, lately from Milton Blue Moun tain league, dd some star work about first and also some timely hitting Eaton's one-band catch of a high liner robbed lone of a good hit.

That the timber of Morrow, Umatilla and Grant counties is ot great commer cial value is declared by M. C. Griswold in an interview in the Oregonian of the 4th iost. Mr. Griswold has but recent ly closed up deals for a large portion of oar timber lands, and it is his belief that the Oregon yellow pine, or Western pine, surpasses any of the finest grades of Michigan pine. Discovering the fine belts of pine in Grant county and the southern parts of Umatilla and Morrow counties three years ago, Mr. Griswold and his associates began buying up the timber in that district, and their hold ings have been added to from time to time, so that they aggregate more acre- age than is held by any group of men in Oregon, with the exception of the Wey- erhauser syndicate. The Griswold hold ings anoant to 45,000 acres, carrying saw timber to over 50iJ,000,0UU feet ibis timber is all several miles remote from transportation. Mr. Griswold intimates that when his company is ready to manufacture this timber into lumber, they will build their own railroad to connect with the Columbia river, but they will be in no hurry. "I do not care to divulge what our plans are in regard to the timber opera tions," said Mr. Griswold. "Before we began to buy up these holdings, we looked over the West pretty thoroughly and nowhere did we find such fine grained timber as in Grant. Umatilla and Morrow counties. This timber con tains but little pilch and is therefore, light but strong." Absoluts!

Come and Stop With Us MAIN STREET' HEPPNER ORf KL.IZA RHODES BE .4 91 IX. Eliza Rhodes was born in the State of Indiana, January 7. 1838. When about 8 years of age she was taken to Iowa by her parents, where she grew to woman hood and was united in marriage with Justus Beaman. To them were born live children, two sons and threedaugh- ters. Ihe eldest, a daughter, died in girlhood. Mi. and Mrs. Beaman came to Oregon in 1SG4 and settled in Marion county near 8ilverton where they resid ed for twenty vears. In 1884 they came Morrow county, settling in Black Horse canyon, about six miles north of Heppner. It was here that Mr. Beaman pai-sed away, alter a lingering illness of several vea s.on November 9, 18H5. Two years later, in 18C7, IVJrs. Beaman lis posed of her farm and with her son Klmer E. took up her abode in Heppner w here she has since resided. In her early life she becRme a Christian and from that d iv forward never faltered in her faith, and by a life of trust and service was prepared for the change that came to her on the morning of June J, when she as quietly fell asleep upon the everlasting arms, as does a tired babe npon its mother's bosom. In accordance with her last request. a linet funeral service was held in the home, conducted by Kev. J. V. Crawford after which ber body wa laid to rest bende that of her husband, in thecetoe tery at Lexington. The large turnout at the funeral attested the high esteem in which she was held by her friends and neighbors- A goodlv delegation from the dd Fellows lodge, acting as an escort, accompanied the remains to their last resting place. Mrs. Ida B. Cox, of Ellensburg, and Mrs. Edith Brady, of Portland, Bisters of E. E. Beamxn, were present at the funeral of their mother, returning to their homes on Monday. Notice of Dissolution Notice is hereby given that the partner ship heretofore existing nnder the firm of Case & Dix, furniture dealers, bas this day been dissolved by nin trial consent. M. L. Case will continue the business, collect all accounts due the firm and pay all bills. All those indebted to the firm are requested to call and settle their ac counts at once. M. L. Case. W. O. Dir. Paled at llerpner, Ore , this 1st day of June 1911. i The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Stevenson died Tuesday evening at the homo ot its parents in Heppner, and was buried yesterday afternoon, Rev. C. II. Davis conducting the services. The child was about two months ot age. Isaac Large and wife, former residents of the John Dav Valley, arrived here Friday with their household goods, anil say that they have come to stay. Mr, Large was very successful during his former residence here, and has many friends who are glad to see him back, lie will look around for a suitable loca tion, and is living in the Frost house at present. Spray Courier. J. M. BeamaD, of Sunset, Whitman county, Wash., arrived in Heppner on Monday. He came to be at the bedeide of his mother, and would bays reached here in time for the funeral, but the de lay of trams caused him to miss connec tion and he arrived too late. He is now farming in that section of the country, and likes it there very well. It has been thirteen years since be left Morrow county. Dan McDevitt son of Bernard McDevitt who resides north of lone, cashed in 82 coyote scalps with Clerk Hill, Saturday. On Monday John Cochran, of lone turned in 61. These were the scalps ot both old and young coyotes. Cleric Hill states that he paid for 423 scalps for the month of May and this brings the record np pretty close lo that of Umatilla county, whose clerk is claiming for that connty the championship of Eastern Oregon in the coyote killing business. A Gazette reporter visited some of the ranches north of Lexington last Saturday in company with Banker W. G. Scott. and made note of the fact that there are some very splendid prospects in that lo cality for crops. Sorry to note, however, that there is too much spring sowing and volunteer. All of this seems to be very short, and much of it cannot possi bly make a crop of any kind. It was impressed npon ns very strongly that it pavs lo farm well. Spring sowing is seldom ever a crop in this section, and volunteering of grain is a gamble with II the odds sgaioet the farmer. There CARD OF THANKS.
