Don't Touch The Button
For four nights Manager Wilkins
of the Palace Hotel watched a certain
fair, timid guest fill her pitcher at the
water-tap.
"Madam," he said on the fifth night,
if you would ring, this would be done
for you."
"But where is my bell?" asked the
lady.
"The bell is beside your bed," re
plied Mr. Wilkins.
"That the bell!" she exclaimed.
"Why Mr. McNamee told me that was
the fire alarm, and that I wasn't to
touch it on any account.
Section 3496 of the General Laws of
Oregon says in part:

To Put An Egg in a Bottle
Pathfinder: If you want to have
lots of fun and mysiify your friends
try this trick: Steep an egg in strong
vinegar for a time: this will make the
shell soft and paliable so that it can
be manipulated without danger of
breaking. Insert it in the neck of a
bottle and slowly work it down until
it is inside. Of course a bottle hav
ing a neck considerable smaller than
the egg, yet large enough to insure
its entrance without breaking, Bhould
be selected.
After the egg is safely inside, fill
the bottle with cold water, which will
harden the shell and cause the egg
to resume its natural shape. Every
one will marvel at your skill in insert
ing an egg through the small neck
of the bottle without breaking either
the egg or the bottle. Now that the
price of eggs has fallen from the high
point reached a few months ago the
material for the trick can be easily
secured without mortgaging the home
and it can be performed without difficulty.

Mrs. W. B. Barratt and two chil
dren left Monday morning for a trip
to Scotland and will be gone until
September when they will return in
company with Robt. Hynd. At Pen
dleton, Mrs. Barratt was met by Mrs,
Gowan of Portland, and the ladies
will make the trip to Arbroth together.
Mr. Barratt accompanied his wife as
far as Pendleton as she was not feel
ing well the day of her departure.
Pat Carty, the well known sheep.
man, left on Tuesday morning for
trip to the old country, Leitrim Coun
ty, Ireland, from whence he came to
Morrow County some eighteen or nine
teen years ago. It was whispered
into our ear by his confidential friend
John Kilkenny, that Mr. Carty was
figuring on committing matrimony
during his visit at the old home and
when he returns to Morrow County it
is not at all unlikely that he will be
double instead of single.
Heppner had the honor of receiv
ing a visit from three prominent Port
land citizens last Thursday night.
They were John F. Carroll, manager
of the Evening Telegram, S. Benson,
owner of the Benson Hotel and his
son, A. S. Benson. The party were
on a trip investigating the most
feasible route for the Columbia
Highway through Morrow County to
Pendleton. They had gone from The
Dalles, via Wasco, lone, Echo and
Pendleton to Walla Walla and return
ed via Echo to Heppner. Upon their
arrival here a hurried meeting of a
number of the business men was cal
led and the situation was thoroughly
discussed. The visitors were of the
opinion that the best route to P&a-
dleton would be through Heppner to
Vincent, Nye and Pilot Rock. The
sand in north Morrow would be , a yVascp. and The Dalles.

than the lone-Echo route.
Mr. S. Benson is responsible more
than any other man for the inaugura

The baseball game with Echo last
Saturday drew a large crowd. The
visitors won the game, the final
count reading Echo 4, Heppner 2.
Echo had Paul Bridger, star flinger of
the Walla Walla Western Tri State
League team, on the firing line and he
pitched a fine game, allowing the
Heppner baiters but five clean hits
and striking out 11 men. However,
the local players, aided by Blukely's
heavy stickwork, earned both their
tallies, while the scorcbook fails to
show a single run made by Echo thnt
did not come as the direct result of
an error. Slow fielding allowed Echo
batters to chalk up several hits off the
local pitcher and they also managed
to put across a few clean cut bingles.
The umps also handed them one hit
when he called a foul ball fair. Any
person with good Bight could see the
left fielder pick up the ball a good
four feet outside the foul line. In all
they were credited with eighi hits but
15 were retired via the strikeout rGute.
The feature of the game' Was easily
the batting of Blnkely. Heppner's
hVd hitting third sucker poled out a
two bagger which nearly cleared 'the
stockyards and would easily have been
home run hit in a clear field.
Another time, in the last inning, he
came across with a sizzling hit
through second base and scored on
Sheldon's Cincinatti ba.'ie hit between
first and second.
The Echo players gave their pitcher
magnificent support and in the pinches
they never failed. Fulford on short,
and in fact the entire infield and out
field played a sterling game and are
entitled to much credit.
Catcher HoHkins of the Echo team
went behind the but with an injured
hand but stuck to lim work and caught
a fine game.
The game, taken as a whole, was
one of the most exciting ever seen on
the Heppner diamond. Not until the
umpire had waved the last man out
in the ninth did the locals players con-

Heppner ballplayers will be inter

Hermiston Sunday and is now lead

a good chance to win the pennant.
The winning team of that league is
expected to play the winning team
