AI DALLES BOUT TUTS HIS MAX TO SLEEP FOR FIVE MIXUTES Former Heppher Boy to Have Six Weeks' Training at Port land Gynr (The Dales Chronicle) Jake Dexter, the "Heppner Giant" Ttnocked out Henry Weber in the second round of a scheduled ten round battle, at the auditorium last night. To win the. decision it was required that Weber put Dexter's shoulders to the niat twice, or that Dexter win by a knockout. Weber got the first fall two min utes after the opening gong. Getting a hold before the big fellow could put in a telling blow, Weber brought him to the, floor and from then on it was an easy matter. At the opening of the secoivl round Dexter rushed from his cor ner and rained a volley of blows to Weber's head with a speed that as tonished the fans. Weber, in a dazed condition, was attempting to grapple when a left to the jaw fol lowed by a right to the head finisn ed the battle. Weber was out for five minutes after the count. Vic Eads, 140. pounds, of Hood River, and "Red" Clifford of Spo kane, fought four rounds to a draw in a battle that was action from the clang of the opener and considered by fans the best bout of the even ing. Jack O'Neill, Dexter's manager and trainer, writes the Herald that the Heppner. boy is a sure comer and that he Is placing him in a Portland gymnasium for a six-weeks' course of intensive training alter which he will be ready to take on all comers among Pacific coast heavyweights. O'Neill also states that had Jake not been handicapped by a pair if new shots and gloves and a too small ring that he would have delivered his k. o. caress in the first round. JESSE JAMES ADKIXS PIOXEER RESIDENT DIES Jesso James Adkins, one of the oldest and most highly respected pioneer citizens of Morrow county, passed away at his home in this city Sunday evening, April 1, 1923, at tho age of 73 years, 3 monvhs and 17 days. Mr. Adkins was born at Kirks ville, Missouri, December 14, 1849, and in 186 5, at the age of -5 years, ho crossed the plains to Oregon, the family settling in Lane county. Three years later, in 1868, he came to this section Of eastern Oregon, where he worked several years for a cattle company as a range rider. He returned to Lane county in 1875 and on November 7 of that year he married Miss Alice McClure and with his bride returned to this section and took up their residence on the A kins homestead on Rhea creek and since then the family has been a re spected and much loved one, taking their share in the hardships and pri vations of the pioneer life that made this country what it is today. I About nino years ago Mr. Adkins was injured by a horse falling with him and from the effects of that ac cident ho never recovered. The injury- resulted in almost complete paralysis and for many years he was an almost constant sufferer. He is survived by his widow and three sons, Ralph and Harley Ad kins, of Aberdeen, Washington, and Albert Adkins, of this city. Fifteen grandchildren also survive him. Three grown daughters and one son preceded their father to the Great Beyond, they being Mrs. Margaret Howard, who died in 1915; Mrs. Bertha Johnson, who died in 1910, and Mrs. Olive Hall, who passed away in 1909.

E COMMITTEE HOLDS MEET Th executive committee of the Morrow county farm bureau held its regular monthly meeting Saturday in the office of tho county agricul tural agent. R. W. Turner, president of the county bureau, read the correspon dence between himself and George A. Mansfield, president of the state bureau, relative to the recent action of tho Morrow county body in with drawing from the state organization. Mr. Turner made a statement rel ative to the matter setting forth his repeated attempts and failures at securing information regarding the financial status of the state body ond his charges recently published in the Morrow County Farm Bureau News that the affairs of the state bureau seemed to be mismanaged, that dues paid in by this county to the state for the purpose of paying dues to the national organization had never been paid over or accounted for and that an excessive indebtedness has been created by the state bureau. A letter from Mr.Mansfield to Mr. Turner questioned the accuracy of these statements, and Mr. Turner's reply, a copy of which was also read, reaffirmed them. The names of Paul V. Maris, head of the O. A. C. farm extension division, and C C. Calkins, late county agent of this county, were brought into the controversy in Mr Mansfield's letter, the writer asking why these two men, who were present at the February .meet ing when the withdrawal resolutlion was adopted, did not prevent such action being, taken. J. O. Turner, secretary-treasurer of the Morrow county bureau, stated that In his opinion Mr. Maris was sent here by Mr. Mansfield to prevent the with drawal but that Mr Maris, in his ad dress, did not undertake any such program, and a motion prevailed that the secretary be instructed to write letters to Mr. Maris and Mr. Calkins absolving them from taking part In the mixup. , Mr. Turner insisted that ho Is strongly in favor of both the state and national organizations of the Farm Bureau but he insists that the affairs of the state body shall be conducted in a business like manner. Mr. Mansfield has expressed his de sire to come to Morrow county and meet with the bureau members when he says he can explain everything satisfactorily. It is expected such a meeting will be arranged as soon as the present busy season is over when a better attendance may be expectd. NEW FIRM TAKES OVER t'OH.V WAREHOVSE F. R. Brown and R. W.

WHEN YOU BUY MEAT G. B. SWAGGART Tho weather man showed approval of this year's stylo of Easter bonnet by sending a fine sample of his wares to grace the opening of the ball season in Heppner when Con don's finest and Heppner's bravest played the opening game of what promises to be a fine season, for the national pastime. A record crowd of fans was on hand to watch what turned out to be an anomaly in base ball both teams winning the same game and it Was no tie score at that. And here is how it happened . It was anybody's game up to the end of the eighth inning when the score cards showed 8 to 9 in favor of the visitors. Then in the ninth Con don contributed a measly gooso egg to tho tally man and Heppner walk ed away with two nice ones, giving us tho game by one score. Fine. But wait a minute. The scores we were speaking of were those kept by fans in and out of the bleachers and when the official scribe told his story the darned thing was a tie. The official man evidently got balled on the count, perhaps marking up a run ner who reached home plate after the batter went out on a fly making third man down. Anyway, naturally the official score stood and the tenth canto was staged resulting in no tally. Then the eleventh verse was sung and that is where the damage was done. First man up for Condon got a little hit and flew for first. Ball beat him something less than a miie but our umpire failed to see the point and called him bate. Condon seemed to like the layout and promptly filled the bases; r. giant ratsman swatted th pil? out towards Rock creek and four tallies were added to the count, with another one tfdloving, making five. H. ppner rallied to the tune of two and called it a day and the markings spelled 12-14 in Condon's favor. It was a fine game for a minute at the end of the ninth. Ai the end of the eleventh it was poor .-.tuff fur Heppner. .rroughton, Heppner's niftv pitcher, went against 11 ini.inga in bis first game of the season and naturally lias a :orr arm today. Klng, our new catcher, is on the job and shows good form. Paul Aiken and Carl Cason, two kid players, showed up well Aiken particularly lakin hiK place in thd sky with a homo run in the first innin. Altogether Heppner has reason to bo of good cheer and may expect a fine showing in the final report at tho end of the season. Peter Prophet has rented the C. L. Freeman property in thn south part of town and moved to that place last week. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Mahoney wore host and hostess at a nicely appoint ed luncheon given at Crown Point Chalet Wednesday noon in honor of Leonardo Del Credo of the San Carlo Grand Opera company, and Mis.. Del Credo.

The visitors, also, were guests of honor at a 14-cover dinner given Friday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney. Oregonian. hi JOE WATERS HONORED BY lil Ul STAR CHAPTER ! J. A. Waters, long time member and past official of Kuth Chapter, O. E. S, in this city, was the honor guest at a lodge meeting and ban quet held in the Masonic temple last Wednesday. Mr. Waters, who re cently resigned as county clerk of this county after more than eight years of faithful and efficient ser yiee, expocts to leave for Portland in a few days where he will engage in business and establish a permanent home. Following tho regular order of business an informal reception was given Mr. Waters, much to that gentleman's surprise, who, in re sponding to the many good wishes extended to him by his lodge asso ciates, said that so far as he was concerned the affair was more of a deception than a reception as he. had received no hint of what was in store for hint when he entered the lodge room. Mrs. Lena Snell Shurte, od behalf of the chapter, presented Mr. Waters with a pair of emblematic cuff links as a remembrance of the high es teem in which he is held. Mrs. Beatrice Penland was elected associate conductress during the evening and will be installed into that office at the next regular meet ing. J. W. BEYMER BUYS MUCH WOOL AT PILOT ROCK J. W. Beymer, Heppner banker and wool merchant, entered the wool game the middle of laat week and bought around 125,000 pounds in the Pilot Rock section, paying 42 cents a pound. It is understood he has also bought a few clips in this section but the report could not. bo verified this morning becauso of Mr. Beynier's absence from tho city. Mr. Beymer wont to Condon yes terday to look over the wool situa tion In Gilliam county. GRAZING FEES WILL NOT E FOR 2 YEARS Decision has been mado by the forestry service to postpone action on the setting of new fees for grazing on tho national forests for two years on account of lack of completed tab ulated information on a recent stir vey of all forests. This decision is very favorablo to local stockmen who recently mado strong protests against any increase in grazing fees Cattlemen and sheepmen entered a united protest against any increase in tho charge, on account of the poor condition of thir industry, and tho cattlemen contended that if (hero was any increase that it would bo the lust straw in their financial difficul ties. Practically all of thn grazing per nilts for tho Umatilla national for est have been. Issued, the preference going to former allottees. Snow Is fast melting on the Blue mountains and is now about one month ahead of tho snow movement of last season, according to Forest Hanger George Bruce who has a station Just above Bingham Springs and who is now in tho city. "The snow is entirely gone about the river and on the south slopes and then) is only a small amount left In sheltered places. The spl ing grass for grazing on the forest in just starting to grow," stated Mr. Bruce. Prospects are fair for the spring range but the summer range is still under a cover of snow away back in the mountains.

COAL BARONS GOUGE IS CHARGE GOETHAI.S REVOKES FVEL OR DERS AM) RILES Retiring Administrator Declares tho Offico Is Only Joke, All Power Boijiig Lucking New York, March 31. General George Goethals, whose office ot fuel administrator becomes non-existent at midnight, declared today that the people of tho United States have been frozen, gouged by extor tionate prices and have suffered from "unequal division of fuel sup plies because there wasn't enough courago in official Washington to dictate to the coal barons of Penn sylvania." Vowing that he never again would accept such a job because it carried no power and was little better than an excuse, General Goethals issued an order revoking all fuel orders and rules mndo by the administra tion and formally closed tho office. Pennsylvania, the chief coal pro ducing state, through its financial, railroad and political combines, has taxed its neighbors and soaked the nation generally, he declared. "When New York state was 140,000 tons Bhort in its allotment, Penn sylvania had an excess of 200,000 tons. And nothing could be done about it. I begged them to let me stop a train enrouta to Canada, but the so-called authorities at Wash ington refused to let me do it. "Time and again I appealed to th interstate commerce commission at Washington and would have to wait for an answer. This was the body that had power to act for the people, but tt showed itself to bo a purely political body and a haven for lame (lucks. It did nothing to prevent cheating and gouging." P. T. A.
