Tuesday and wigwagged a signal
to '
Old Man Hoodoo who sat on the
lava ledge above the old rock' crusher j
and that signal spelled defeat for
Heppner in two games. The pair of
trouble makers got their work in
about rthe fourth inning in Monday's
game when Moeller, Heppner's pit-
Cher was hit by a fast pitched ball
on his good left arm that put ihm j
out of business for the day. Being
without a second pitcher Manager j
Van Marter had to put Clifford, his
star catcher in the box and take Aiken
from first to the catchers place. An
derson was then changed from the
center field to first and Paul Aiken,
his youngest player took the field, i
Clifford, who is a. moose behind the
bat, did his best but was no match
for Condon's man Clow, who is some
tosser. To make a long story short
it may be said that the game ended
wih a score of 6 o 13 which went
to show that Jinx Hoodoo & Co. were
steadily on the job.
Tuesday's game promised a differ
ent story in the early stages. Hepp
ner had secured another pitcher, one
Raybine, (who was big enough to
throw a ball over the moon but it
soon developed that call he had on j
that ball was the cover. He had
neither curves, drops nor spits but he
did make a specialty of balls about
four of 'em to each batter as he came
up and the way he walked those Con
don fellows out to first, up to second
and on around to third was not un
like a funeral procession, and every
time he got the bases full some Con
don player would swat a ball and
the runners would swarm into home . of your family. If you should at- I such amount as it may find to be due

late to change the tide of defeat to 1 of it. If you should atteud every j tary of the district; F. A. McMena-
vicory.
It was a good game, however, for
all that. At one time Heppner had a
lervd of one score but the odds-were
too great to holdithat position long.
As a team, outside the first pitcher,
Heppner played a winning game and
had Raybine been able to play up to
the support he received the story
would have been different.
Good crowds turned out to see the
games both days and there was un

Condon, is scheduled to play an
other game here next, Sunday and It
is to be expected the result will be
different.

PHELPS HANDS DOWN !
DEGREE JOHN DAY Ctf
Findings and conclusions of law
and a decree in the case of the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad Co. and Dan
P. Smythe and other big property
owners against the John Day Iiri-
gat ion District have been returned by
Judgo Gilbert W. Phclrs following
several months in liticntic-n i:i the
case.
Some of the chief features of the
involved case which the court hhs
decided are as follows:
The law under which the district
is organized is a valid law and the
district is regularly organized
The contract entered into between j
the district with Levis 'and Clark,
engineers, was valid at the . time it
was made.
The special assessment of 50 cents
the acre, levied in 1920, is valid and
constitutes a lien ou the land, the
..,.. ....m,.
The contract of January 4, 1921
between the irrigation district and
the engineering firm was beyond the
power of the board to make.
Warrants up to the amount pf
$20,000 for the service uf Lewis ana
Clark jshould be paid. The court
finds that the testimony does not in
dicate just what sum in excess of this
amount the engineering firm is en
titled to receive, but indicates that
this payment may be adjusted be
tween the district and the engineers,
failing which the engineers have the
right to bring action, in court to have
the amount of fair compensation es-
tablished.
j One of the chief questions brought
j up by the litigation is wheher pres
: ent state laws applying to the orga
nization of irrigation districts is
constitutional. Judge Pnelps holds
j that the law is constitutional,
i The decree cancels all warrants is
sued to John H. Lewis in excess of
$20,000 but directs that', the new
board may issue new
warrants to
min, attorney; and C. C. Clark and
Ed Reitnian, directors. The aggre-
gate of cancelled warrants amounts
to some $68,000, the greater portion
of which were warrants issued to
Jonn H. Lewis.
The litigation ;has- been in court
since early last spring. Testirnouey
has been given on several occasions
since that time.
Judge D. R. Parker, of Condon, wil
preside at the coming term of court
in the place of Judge Gilbert W.
Phelps who has been called to Port
land to preside at a term of court
there. Judge Parker has been on the
bench iin the district comprising Gil
liam, Wheeler and Sherman counties
and has made a splendid record-us an
able jurist.
