OBSERVED IX HEPPNEK .

Memorial day was fittingly obser
ved in Heppner yesterday, several
hundred citizens joining with the
few remaining Grand Army veterans,
the womens' Relief Corp and. kindred
organizations in showing honor to
the memory of the nation's dead.
A parade was formed at the Fair
pavilion at 9:00 A. M. when the line
of march to th cemetary was taken
up. The parade was headed with
members of, the Grand Army of the
Republic in automobiles the veterans
being attended by members of the
American Legion on foot, members of
the W. R. C, also In autos, Boy
Scouts, school children, Independent
Order of Odd Fellows,.. Knights., of
Pythias, Rathbbone Sisters and Ben
evolent and Protective Order of Elks.
At the cemetary the exercises were
conducted by ,the Womens Relief
Corps at the monument erected three
years ago by that organization in
memory of- the unknown dead of past
wars. J
Following th exercises and the
decoration of graves, the crowd re
turned to the pavilion where the
day's exercises were completed with
an interesting and appropriate pro

The occasion was, perhaps, the
most successful of its kind ever held
in Heppner. Mr. Stevens, who is a
veteran of the civil war, made a
splendid address in which he traced
the custom of memoralizing the dead
heroes of a people from the time of
primitive man, giving Pericles, the
Athenian statesman, who flourished
before the Christian era,
credit for originating the
idea or a national memor
ial day. Mr. Stevens paid fitting
tribute to the dead of all past wars,
not forgetting the valiant boys of
the southland who wore the gray uni
forms against which the speaker and
his comrades were pitted in t lie ter
rible civil conflict of the '60s.
Sherriff McDuffee picked up one,
i Harry Ford, last week wanted at
Camp Lewis as a deserter from the
army and at Tacoma for stealing a
motorcycle, robbing the U. S. mails,
forging checks and perhaps other
accomplishments along similar lines.
Ford rode into town on a motorcycle
which he sold to Chuck Bell at the
Ford Agency, and later Bell became
suspicious and notified the sherriff,
who investigated the matter with the
result-above stated. Ford was a cor
poral in his company at Camp Lewis
and Sergeant Shirley Ice, of the
same confpany, came over Wednes
day and took the prisoner bacTc to
Camp Lewis for trial. The army
seems to have its share of hard boil
ed guys (since the big war is over.

Contracts for grading sections of
Oregon-Washington highway in this
county between Lexington and Hepp

let by the state highvay commission
at Portland last Thursday to Oxman

two units, the price for the Lexnig-ton-Heppner
unit being $51,896 and
for the Heppner- Jones Hill unit
$59,293.
County Judge Cauirbell, acting for
Morrow county, also submitted a bid
on the Lexington-Heppner section,
his figure being $51,900 or just $4.00

Judge Campbell, County Commis
sioner Gsorge Blea'kman and W. O.

commission at which more than
$1,000,000 wfirth of contracts for
road construction were let.
Judge Campbell and his party re
turned Saturday morning well plea
sed with the result. v
To a Herald reporter Saturday
Judge Campbell stated that his ob
ject in submitting a bid on the
work was to protect the county and
state against unreasonably high bids
which he feared might be submitted
l'the big contractors because of
the fact that they are all pretty well
loaded up with contracts just now
and might not care to get down
to very close figuring on this work,
His surmise proved to be correct for
had mot the county and Oxman &
Harrington been represented the

Heppner ball teams on the Heppner
eld Sunday and Monday resulted in
an even break, the visitors taking;
Sunday's game while the home team
buckled in Monday and grabbed tho
game in a 3-7 score.
Sunday's game was a fine exhibi-
ton- up to the sixth inning, neither
team, having scored at that juncture.
While both teams madr numerous er-
ors in the early cantos everybody
played ball to a fare-you-well, but 111

Charlie Fitzmaurice, Condon's big
catcher, happned to get a high ball
rom Solyan and he eat it up.. It
was an awful wallop ho gave tho
sphere and when tho dust cleared
away the visitors had hung four,
pelts on the barn door and also got a,
strong hunch that they were billed
winners for the day. Heppner nat
urally went in the air for a bit al
though they came back it was too
late to count either for glory or for
stake money. The game ended with,
a score of 2 to 9.
Monday's game started off soma
different. Condon came first to bat.
and while they batted well on tho
go off it failed to count and they
trotted to the field without a score.
Heppner followed with Elliot first to
bat and the little fellow scored liko
a house afire. Sperry also brought
in a tally thus giving the team a
heartening eendoff. From, that point
to tho last of the sixth it was nip and
tuck wllh no tallies, then Heppner
took a spurt and baged five nice ones;
giving them 7 and a pretty good tail
hold on the game. In tho eighth "
Condon woke up and scored two and
in I he ninth got another one and tho
game ended with a score of 3 to 7.
Heppner got two flue doubles In
the first and sixth which helped
some.
Fitzmaurice got a chance to ro

coming to bat In the 7th with threo
men on bases but. he failed to get
the high ball he was praying for,
