GENERAL BUSINESS
FOUND IRVING
Marked Gain Made in April,
Washington Reports in
Industry.
partment reports business conditions
generally showed continued, and in
some instances, marked improvement
during April.
Greater than seasonal improvement
was shown by manufactures of food
products, automobiles, leather and
shoe products, cement and tobacco,
hut iron and steel and non-ferrous
metal products manufactures were
; smaller than in March.
"April was the third consecutive
month," the department said, , "in
which the volume of business in the
United States, after allowing for nor
mal seasonal trends, showed further
i slight expansion from the low levels
: sonal decline occurring in early May
nas teen sngnuy larger tnan usual.
"Industrial production as measured
by the federal reserve board's" season-"
ally adjusted index, registered an-
J.1 .
oiner .increase in April, ana in that
hionth was 9 per cent above the De
cember level. Output of manufac
ture WHO lnrfroi than 11 Mn.nl
owing chiefly to greater than season
al improvement in the food products,
automobile, leather, shoe, cement and
tobacco industries, while iron and
steel and non-ferrous metals produc
tion was smaller than in the preced
ing month. The textile industries
maintained recent gains at March
levels with the cotton industry
especially active.
The index of mineral output ad
justed for seasonal changes, increased
nearly five per cent from the low
levels of the depression established in
March. '
"Building construction in April as
measured by contracts awarded de
creased 9 per cent from the preceding
month instead of continuing the sea
sonal increase, usual at this period,
wnich was manifest in February and
March. A further decline of season
alproportions occurred in the first half
of May. In general, residential build
ing has been holding up better than
commercial and industrial types.
Expansion in manufacturing and
mining industries and the seasonal re
sumption of outdoor work in agricul
ture and building has brought further
improvement in the employment situ
ation with reduction of part time
work and a shrinkage in the number
of unemployed since January. Factory
employment, as a whole, has increas
ed by about the normal season
amount since the first month of the
year when a low level for the . de
pression was reached."
Spotted Fever Fatal
Irving Crain, a resident of Prine

fever. He was 50. He leaves his

Mission Indians Win Pen
nant from Athena Ath
letics, Hectic Battle.
The tail-end teams in the Uma
tilla county baseball league whipped
the leading teams in a doubleheader
at Pendleton Round-Up park, Satur
day afternoon, and in the champion
ship playoff Sunday, the Mission In
dians copped the bunting from Athe
na by the margin of one run, 7 to 6,
in a hectic battle.
Helix, loaded with ex-Buckaroo
players including Cook, Cox and Hos-
kins was drubbed by Athena, 5 to 4,
and the Mission Indians stopped Uma
tilla 4 to 3.
Helix scored a run in the second
and Athena came back in her half
with two to take the hop on Bill
King's inflated bunch. Jenkins scor
ed for Athena in the fourth and He
lix put Hargett and Schyer across to
tie it up at three all and Hodgens
scored in the .fifth. That was all for
Helix. Tudor and Harden tallied for
Athena in the sixth and the ball
game was won right there.
Harden had almost a perfect day.
In five times up he got two hits and
got to first base on two other trips
to tne piate. &nip bnider played a
whale of a game at second base, be
ing credited with six assists without
bobble and got a couple of hits,
while Jenkins did some crack base
running, making two of Athena's
scores.

A Hectic Contest
The championship game, involving
the grotesque novelty of the t tail-1
enders of a baseball league contend
ing for the pennant developed into a
hot contest, Athena coming through in
a hectic ninth inning rally to lose out
to the Mission Indians by the score of
7 to 6. The Indians were out hit 10
to 6, but the red men's bingles went
for more extra bases when hits meant
runs. With a home run, a double and
a single, Harden again led in the bat
ting. With George Banister in the box
for Athena, the Indians busted into
the scoring column in the first inning
with two scores. Minthorn walked,
Norwest went to first on Snider's
error, Lieuallen threw out Alexander.
Luton was safe on error by Jenkins,
Minthorn scoring, Lloyd flew out to
Miller and McKay singled bringing
in Norwest. A walk and a couple of
two-base hits was good for two more
runs for the . Indians in the third,
sending Banister to the showers,
Tudor relieving him in the pitcher's
box. The Indians scored one in the
sixth, seventh and eighth. I
Athena had runners on base in
every inning except the seventh and
broke into scoring in the fourth when j
Lieuallen opened with a single and
went to second when Jenkins was
safe on Lloyd's error a short. Tudor j
lashed out a single, scoring Lieuallen,
Jenkins thrown out at second by
Jackson from short left field. Tudor
stole second and scored on Miller's
single. In the ninth Athena scored
four in a hair-rising bid for the game.
With Tudor and Miller down, Hansell
drew a walk and Crowley was sent in
to pinchhit for Banister . who was
playing right field and he singled.
Then Harden uncorked a homer and
three runs were in. Alexander who
had been relieved in the box by Schlal
in the sixth came in from the field to
take up the red man's burden, and
was forthwith smacked for a home
run by Snider. Then Alexander caus
ed Baker to dip a grounder to Lloyd
at short, who tossed to first for the
putout, and the championship game
was history, Indians 7; Athena 6.

Wild Radish Becoming:
Pest in Oregon Fields
-Kill It When Young
A new weed, known as wild radish
and resembling ordinary yellow mus-
tard or wild turnip has made its ap
pearance in western Oregon during
the past few years, and is now spread
ing to other sections of the state. It
is becoming established in Douglas
Coos, Washington, Multnomah and
Benton counties, and has been found
in eastern Oregon barley fields, ac
cording to D. C. Smith, of the farm
crops department at Oregon State
college. ;
This weed, like its yellow flowered
cousin, the wild turnip usually grows
in grain fields, ripening with the
grain and being harvested with it
The seed pods break up in threshing
and they are likely to be passed
through cleaning machinery. The
seeds are larger than those of wild
turnip and may be carried more read
ily in threshed grain. They have
pink or reddish color.
The wild radish plants are easily
killed when young by cultivation, and
the grown plants, if small in num
bers, can be pulled by hand, Smith
says, but if the weed is allowed to be
come common, it is necessary to grow
cultivated crops to control it.
The main control measure, accord
ing to Smith, is clean seed. He urges
growers to be on the lookout when
planting for large seeds similar to
common garden radish, and for brok
en seed pods. A complete description
of this plant, and many other weeds
is found in Oregon Extension bull
etin 412, available from county agents
or at the college.
I. W. W. Given Reprieve
Six months' reprieve to be with his
wife who is to undergo a serious op
eration was granted to Eugene Bar
nett, one of six I. W. W. serving 25
year sentences in the Washington
state prison for participation in the
Armistice day murders at Centralia
in 1919.
Washington Boy Winner
Earl Jossy, 16-year-old club boy
of Linnton, Washington county, has
been declared the best dub news re
porter in Oregon and winner of the
f 15 scholarship to the 4-H club sum
mer session at Oregon State college,
June 8 to 20, offered by the Oregon
Stalk Editorial afrtriatitm.
Eastern Oregon Stock
Show Listing Premiums
the new 120-page classification list
of the 23rd annual Eastern Oregon
Livestock show gives a total of $8000
in premiums to be distributed among
stockmen of Eastern Oregon during
the coming show to be held at Union,
June 11, 12 and 13.
Due to stronger support from Ba
ker county than in previous years, and
to the attractive premium list, more
exhibits are being entered than in any
previous year.. Entries will be made
from Idaho, Washington and from
several thoroughbred stockraisers
from various sections of the state
who have not exhibited before.
The future farmers of America and
the 4-H club exhibits are to be among
the show's best features this year. ;
Senator Steiwer and Congressman
Butler have accepted the invitation of
the association to attend the stock
show.
Supreme Court Puts Ban
on Auto Back Seat Drivers
The Wisconsin supreme court has
finally put an official ban on "back
seat drivers." .
In over-ruling the verdict of the
circuit court that guests in an auto
mobile driven by Goehmann , were
negligent in not warning the driver
of approaching danger, the supreme
tribunal said:
"The duty of 'driving' from the
back seat has not been imposed upon
passengers in an automobile, and we
are a little surprised to find an ap
parent sanction of this abominable
practice in this verdict."
Price Up To Farmers
The responsibility for maintaining
domestic wheat prices rests on the
American farmer after more than s
year of government stabilization says
a Washington despatch. The farm
board's authorization for the purchase
of surplus stock to bolster prices end
ed with the fulfillment of May con
tracts and gave full play to the oper
ation of the law of supply and demand.

Crops Need Rain and
Some Fields Past Help
Crops in the western and southern
portions of the county are very much
in need of rain, and some fields of
grain in those districts are reported
to be beyond the help of moisture.
Very dry weather conditions are
prevailing in Wallowa county. There
has been practically no rain for sever-
weeks and a driving wind which
has taken much moisture from th
soil. Crops are beginning to show
considerable signs of damage from
lack of moisture.
Reports from some sections state
that many fields of spring-sown grain
have come up spotted because of the
shortage of moisture near the sur
face. The growth of winter wheat
and pastures have also been greatly
retarded by the drying conditions.
Alfalfa and other hay crops on the
irrigated farms have made a fairly
good start where attention has been
given to needed irrigation.
Listed Prisoners, 1208
With the arrival of 24 men and two

has been touched. With the parole
board finishing its work Friday, men
will begin to go out and the popula
tion will soon be below 1200, but
prison officials declare indications'
point to a normal population of about
1200 in the future, an increase of 500
over the normal population seven
years ago.
