5 INNING TIE ON FRIDAY
4 TO 2 SATURDAY
MEET AGaIN HERE SATURDAY
With One Game Each The Decid
ing Contest Should be
a Hummer.
Those who attended the game in
Heppner a week ago last Friday, be
tween the locals and Echo, and who
thought they were witnessing a classy
and exciting game, missed the time of
their lives if they did not see the
game last Friday and Saturday be
tween the same teams on the Echo
grounds. This time, however, luck
was reversed and Heppner ended up
on the big end of the score.
The Friday game was called about
3 o'clock and after five full innings
had been played a heavy rain came
up and the umps called the game after
waiting twenty minutes. The result
of this game was a tie. Heppner
managed to get one runner to third
base, and a couple of our runners
negotiated the second sack. Echo was
less fortunate . and only one of their
runners reached second. In the five
innings only two of their men reached
first base. The catching of Coshow
for Heppner, affected the work of the
entire team and kept the rest of the
.boys on their toes at all times. His
jsterling. work inspired the Heppner
pitcher also, with the result that said
pitcher, struck out ten batters in the
five innings and allowed no hits.
The rain brought a halt to what the
SCHOOL NOTES.
By S. E. Notson, Co. S'upt.
The work of grading the eighth
grade examination papers and re
cording the grades has been a very
tedious piece of work. A very much
larger number of applicants wrote
upon the examination than at any
previous examination. The examina
tion proved very difficult for a large
number. A large percentage of the
applicants failed. Some of these are
conditioned in only one or two studies,
but many will be required to write
upon all the branches in which they
do not have exempts. The next
examination will be held June 4 and
5.
Teachers who have completed the
reading circle work for the year
should send in for blanks upon which
to make report of their work. Con
tracts should not be sent in for regis
tration unless the teacher at the same
time sends in a report of the reading
circle work and also her certificate
for registration. Certificates can not
be registered until the reading circle
work is completed and contracts are
not valid until the certificate is regis
tered. The National Education Association
will meet at St. Paul, Minn., July 6-11.
It is not likely that many of our
teachers can attend, but those resid
ing in the middle west, who go home
for vacation, may be able to attend.
The new price list for the library
books has just been delivered. It is
unfortunate that it came after the
close of so many schools. It will be
necessary for the board to make the
selections in many districts.

HEAVY RAINS PRACTICALLY ASSURE
BIG WHEAT CROP FDR MORROW
The past week has seen frequent
and heavy rains throughout the wheat
belt of Morrow County. Friday after
noon came the first shower and it
was followed by moisture on Satur
day, Sunday and Tuesday. The rain
Sunday was heavy in the south part
of the county. Around lone the pre
cipitation was less than in other sec
tions but was fully heavy enough to
insure a fine crop. It had been report
ed that grain in the vicinity of Lex
ington was being badly burnt by the
hot sun a few days previous to the
rain Friday, but W. F. Barnett, a
heavy wheat grower of that section,
brands the report as false. 'Of
course grain needed moisture," said
Mr. Barnett to the Herald man yes
terday, "but it had not begun to suffer
noticably. The rains since, however,
insure our harvesting an immense
yield and prosperity is assured for the
farmers of this vicinity," he continued.
Up on Heppner Flat the hot weath
er previous to the rain had begun to
tell on the grain but the rains came
at the right time. From every sec
tion of the grain-producing belt of
Morrow County come the good words
that the crop is now practically as
sured and all indications point to a
harvest fully two weeks earlier than
usual. Old-timers, who have farmed
in this county for years, are of the
opinion that the summer will not be
a hot one. On account of the mild
winter they look for a mild summer.

the boys felt in fine trim to give their
opponents a cleaning.
Accordingly, at, 10 a. m. on Satur

gaine batteries opposing each other
and the same players in their respec

"BY WAY OF REM KMBRANCE."
II Peter 3:1.
"Members of the G. A. It. and Re
lief Corps, Ladies and Gentlemen:
I appreciate very much the favor con
ferred upon me, making it my duty
and privilege to address you at this
time. "Memorial Day" I deem one of
the most important of all designated
or appointed days, because it stands
or serves as a day of preparation for
the best possible observance of what
may be more properly regarded as
"Our Nation's Memorial Day," May
30th, which day was ollicially inaugur
ated in 1808 by General John A. Lo
gan, then Grand Commander of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
Upon that occasion he said: "The
30th day of May is designated for the
purpose of stewing with flowers cv
decorating the graves of comrades,
who died in defense of their country
and whose bodies n.iw lie in almost
every city, village or country ceme
tery in the land. Concerning the
organization, he further said, "We
are organized comr.viles for the pur
pose of preserving and strengthening
those kind and fraternal feelings
which have bound together the soldiers
and sailors who united to suppress
the late Rebellion. "And then he asks,
and well may we "What can aid more
to assure this result than cherishing
tenderly the memory of our heroic
dead, who made their breasts a bar
ricade between their country and its
foes?" "Their soldiers lives were the
reveille of freedom to a race in chains
and their deaths the tattoo of rebell
ious tyranny in arms."
And very true, as has been said by
many others, "That day so auspicious
ly inaugurated has become a day of
tender and inspiring memory to the
whole people." It is today better ob
served than ever before and not only
will it be eo kept as long as a survivor
of the war remains to honor the
memory of his departed comrades, but
so long as there s'.iall be found in
this land, hatred of oppression or the
love of liberty, as long indeed as the
human heart shall be moved by the
story of heroic deeds and shall cherish
the memory of gallant sacrifice.
For a noble p irpose then my friends
we are gathered this day in God's
house. Men and women from almost
every station aim calling in life, re

will be held Sunday morning. Bible lers of the Gospel which fiwt surely
whnnl lit 9:45 a. m. Divine worshin ' indicates that God has not intended
something far better, he has bestowed
a far greater blessing upon the human
family. ;God has bestowed every liv
ing, rational creaturewith the power
to be honest and loyal. Honest with
himself, loyal to God, exercising good
will toward men. These my friends,
are the weighty matters of the law,
these principles make strong men and
women, and strong men and women
make strong and enduring govern
ments, and constitute thenoblest worK

ever honesty and loyalty are found
there should be manifested a spirit
of grateful appreciation. I trust your
presence here bespeaks your sense of
oblieation and vour loyalty to our
country and the men who died in her
defense.
Let it ever be remembered as a
principle established, "No man can be
loyal to this government while dis
loyal to those who died in ner de
fense." And no government can be
safe or counted worthy of protection,
which does not cherish tenderly the
lives and interests of all, who laid
their all upon their country's alter,
a willing sacrifice.
May this, then be the day when we
as a people reverently bow our heads
in humble, thankful recognition of the
peace and prosperity their fidelity
vouchsafed unto us,. To this end
let us remember that the men whose
forms, faces and voices are recalled
todav. irave their lives for the life of
this government. Therefore a sad,
sad reflection this day brings. We are
caused to think of the husbands,
fathers and sons who went out during
01-2-3 andJ, many of them never to
return. Possibly I speak today to a
score or more in whose hearts there
is an aching void this world can never
fill. Many came back crippled and
diseased to enter again the peaceful
pursuits of life. Many with but one
limb to toil for the support of those
dependent upon them. Many, many
came home to die, while myriads more
never came home at all. But friends,
the darkest picture conceivable to
finite mind, is not without its charm,
is not without that finest finishing
touch commanding universal attention
and admiration.
It is this Our beloved Nation is
worth all the blood shed in her behalf.
This my friends is not, and cannot be
said of many forms of government.
Oh! Friends do you realize that our
government, the government for
which members of the G. A. R. fought
and fr which their comrades died, is
the best under the smiling canopy of
It took a long time for a portion of
this nation to iearn and acknowledge
that all men meant black folks as
well as white. And it does seem as
though there were those who were
never to learn the lesson, for after
long and fearful costly experience they
are yet at sea. Notwithstanding the
marvelous progress made by the neg
ro. It is now too late to determine
where he came from, it is yet too
early to determine what he shall be,
but God is working through this gov
ernment, Yea! He wrought through
you members of the Grand Army and
through your comrades "after the
counsel of his own will" with greater
things in view than finite mind has
yet conceived of. Let us see in 18ti0
the understanding was that slavery
should exist only in the Southland, and
President Lincoln was elected on that
basis. But the Southland would ex
tend slavery bounderies and this stood
as the primary cause of secession and
fearful were the consequences. A con
flict of opinions resulted in a conflict
of arms, fort faumpter was hred up
on. Immediately a mighty wave of
patriotic indignation swept the land
like fire upon the prairie. Some of you
rememuer uie winning scenes ana ex
periences that followed. Some of you
had husbands and fathers, brothers
and lovers, yea, some ot you your
selves signed your names to the "mus
ter roll" and bid adieu to loved ones,
making sacrifice of "home sweet
home" and marched away into what
proved to be worse than the jaws of
leath, but you went in the name oi
God you went. Whether you under
stood it or not God went before you,
ruled in and through and above you.
The victory and not only the victory
won in the end, but the kindly pro
vidence manifested on a hundred battle-fields,
proved that your cause was
right, and that God In His almighty
ness was there.
I love the Southland, beautiful
Southland, and entertain the hope of
some day making my home there, for
they are a kindly people and they are
jur brothers, members of a common
Anglo-Saxon race, nor are they lack
ing in heroism, for no braver or more
enduring set of men ever shouldered
arms, than those who met you gentle
men and your fallen comrades on field
of battle.
