Yesterday was about as quiet a
day as was ever known in Heppner.
Main fctreet looked like Goldsmith's
"Doserttd ViUlage" during the day
arnd evening and outside of -the pas
times all business houses wen; elos
d tight.
A number of Heppner-people went
to lone to help ihe people of that
patriotic town make the eagle scream,
and all report having had a good
time. The weather was ideal lor en-,
joyment, and the lone host, American j
Legion showed that they knovr how
to put on a celebra'.ion that" pleases.
A number from town atso went to
Farkers Mill where a three di-y cele
bration was held and they also re
port having had a fine time, al
though the crowds there wove, not
as large as in previous years. Good
order was had during the entire
time, however, and the dance pavil
ion was perhaps the biggest drawing
card of the occasion.
Several interes' -.it athleti- events
were pulled off, chief among which
was the 8 round boxing match be
tween Jake Dexter of Heppner. and
Clarence Baumarf, of Lexington.
This bouq went only to six rounds
when Bauman was overpowered by
the superior strength and weight ot
Dexter although the smaller man was
was said to be the cleverer boxer.
Dexter weighed in at T3 pounds
more than Bauman.
Interesting preliminaries were put
on by Moore and Stevenson, in
which Moore got the honors; Copen.
haver and Brown, two small ath
letes from Heppner with the former
coming out best. Wright snd Krud
ssen went to a draw.
At a smoker earlier in the day the
principal event was a boxing maich
between, Cecil Lieuallen,, of Heppner,
and Beeson, of Condon. This bout
was matched to go four rounds, but
at the end of the second Beeson made
a speech in which he claimed a fou!
in th first round. Bauman, who
was acting as referee did not agree
with the Condon man and gave the
decision to Lieuallem whw nad the
best of the bout all the way through.
PrelLuinaries to this bout waie Paul
Aiken, of Heppner arid Jimmie Leach
of Hardmam, which ended in a draw.
Voley of Condon, and Walton wrest
led one fall in which Voley got the
decision.
'A foot race between Beeson, of
Condon and Van Bibber, of Monu
ment, was one of the features Satur
day, in which Van Bibber was an easy
winner.

to a Republican caucus for party ac

At this time a rule will be ador- ;
ted limiting debate and preparing j
the way for rapidly completing this
legislatipn as far as the house is con
cetrned. Shingles imported into this country
will carry a duty of 60 cents.
Logs will carry a duty of $1.
Tongued and grooved lumber
will carry a duty of 2 5 per cent.
These rates at least will represent
the committee's action and will be
contained in the printed bill.
A fight wil be made on the floor
by representatives of eighteen states
to force the elimination of all duties
on lumber and to substitute a pro
vision authorizing the president to
impose retaliatory duties of kind
against countries which have instal
led duties against lumber products of
the United States,
Because of the prepondrence of the
committees printed schedules and the
parliamentary differences of the free
trade' farmers who are putting up

fight begun early and continued to

fought for a tariff of 3 rents and
finally compromised on a tariff of
2 5 cents.

Joe Kirshner, county surveyor, re
turned Wednesday from the south
end of the county where he .pent a
few days surveying a route for the
county road up Deadman's Hill, on
the Monument road. The old road
has been a terror to travelers for
many years, being In places as much
as 2 5 per cent of a grade. Mr.
Kirshner suys that he found a route
that does not exceed 8 p.-r cent winch
is only a little longer than the old
uau. ine new grade he thinks, ran
De Dullt for J5000. He found a pos
sible route for the road on a 5 pr
cent grade but says the cost of build
ing would be prohibitive. In one
place for a considerable s?ance the
road wold have to be cut into the
face of a perpendicular cliff of solid
rock which is more than im ivet
high. Mr. Kirshner expects to go
over the proposed Heppner Spray
road within the next few days.

! Protests Filed Against Asa

I Brolher-in-Law
rial.) Senator Charles L. McNary
paid today that no decisision lias yet
been readied in connection with Ore
ton patronage, and the members of
the Oregon delegation, in congress
also expressed the opinion that no
iinal decision has been arrived at on
tho subject. .
Senator R. X. Stanfield is in Salt
Lake in connection with the livestock
loan of $50,000,000 arranged by
bankers of the country, and will not
return for several days. Vntu his
return no patronage conference Is
possible.
While there has apparently been no
del'inate decision arrived at in re
gard to patronage gossip emanating
from seemingly trustworthy sources
at the capitol indicate that a getneral
plan for its distribution and also a
tentative slate were discussed be
tween the two senators and National
Committeeman Ralph Williams just
previous to the latters return to Ore
gon. The plan was to the effect that all
three should participate In the dis-
inouiion 01 tne patronage, and in
j caae of a disagreement that the det-
cision of Senator McNary and Nation
al Committeeman Williams would be
final.
It is further contemplated that
of Portland for United States Mar-
hall and Asa B. Thompson, or Echo
for collector of customs
Mr. Williams favors tfuntley and
Day and political gossip is to the ef -
feet that Senator McNary has been
seriously considering both for the re
spective offices.
Although neither are said to ho
the choice of Senator Stanne? ne is
said to be anxious to secure the ap
pointment of Asa B. Thompson, who
is his brother-in-law, as collector of
customs, and in view of this has been
giving serious consideration to the
slate.
But while the genetrai pinn as to
the divisions of spoils may be adher
ed to, uch a flood of protests are
pouring in ugainst both Day and
Thompson that the tentative slate
may colloapse, and entirely new per
sonnel be decided upon.
The protests against bay attack his
qualifications for the office and also
object to him because of his politi
cal associations.
Thompson's land office record Is
being urged against him, and so is
the fact that he is a brother to Sen
ator Stanneld.

various federal jobs in ' Oregon are

FOREST NEWS
Gurdane District
A report recently reached this dis
trict that stock driveway No. 5 lead
ing to Albee and Ckiah had been
closed by fencing private land a
short distance east of the forest boun
dary. With scores of bands of
sheep headed over this route, much
anxiety was foil. Should this route
be closed the re-routing of sheep
would be quite a problem. Ranger
Woods made a hurried trip to I'kiah
and called upon settlers along the
route and was relieved to learn that
though considerable fencing had boon 1
done, the route was still open, for
this spring at Tea.t.
Separating sjheep is claiming the
attention of a number of sheep out
fits that are on the trail. The junc
tion of driveways No. 4 and No. 5
has been 'a scene of almost constant
activity. As soou'as one lot was
cleared,. another mixed. These drive
ways join on rough, hilly ground, thai
is densley timbered. Sheep pass .
this point travelling north south and
west and an occasional mix-up is un
avoidable. As far as possible the
forest officers work to prevent nilx
ups by warning sheepmen of ap
proaching bands, by pushing one out
tit and holding another back, but
where each officer has from firteen
to twenty miles under supervision It
is impossible to give any point con
stant attention.
Forrester Rienhart recently took
charge of the J. D. French sheep on
the Arbuckle allotment. He will be
accompanied in camp by Mrs. Rhien
hart. The fire soason has opened in the
Gurdane district. A small fire was
found and suppressed on stocTt drive
way No. 3, near Little Polamus creek
by Forest Guard Casteel.
While on grazing work in (he
south end of the district a forest of
ficer observed smoke rising from the
State land south of the John Day
river. The state tire warden was no
tified. That evening a crou nurst
was reported from that section. The
federal foresters are envious of those
state men and are wondering how 1
they did it.
L. O. Case, district state fire war
den, was a recent visitor at Ellis
Ranger station. ' Close co-operation
, between the state and Forest Service
1 in fire detection and suppression was
1 arranged for this territory by Mr.
Case and Ranger Woods.
Del McRoberts, State Fire Warden,
accompanied by Mrs-. McRoberts stop

ger station while on their way from
Uklah to Parkers Mill where Mr
Roberts will be stationed for

are now camped on Matio creek.
