Too Many Errors In Early
Part of Game Proves
Fatal To Locals.
immediate use either as wheat land or
for livestock. Wa are making active
arrangements for the annual Tri
County Fair at Condon next Fall.
Morrow county hopes to make a dis
play of farm products that will beat
both Gilliam and Sherman counties.
HepDuer again reeelved defeat at
the hands of the fast Condon bunch in
the game played on the local diamond
last Sunday. Both teams plaved fast
ball and barring a few errors on
Hoppner's side the game was the
cleanet played in this sent ion for two
or three years. The score, which
wan three to two shoo Id really have
been two io one in favor of the looal
team. Elliott's bad playing In the
first inning was one of the bad fea
tures of the game and extremely dis
astrous for the Heppner fans. Con
don succeeded In getting awav with
three runs in the first which were all
they could manage to take throughout
the whole game. From the first in
ning up to the sixth the score board
was a series of goose eggs on both
sides but Heppner finally succeeded
in sending one mau across the plate
in that frame and another in the
ninth.

Knappenberg Boosts For
lone and Morrow Co.
At Portland.
J. T. Knappenberg, president of the
lone Commercial Club broke eut in
print in the Portland papers wkile in
that city last week and lie did some
good boosting for lone and Morrow
county. Mr. Knappenberg toliS the
people of the metrouolis how ideas
and conditions were changing in Mor
row county and that the change has
been rewarded by sucoess. Diverisfied
farming is redeeming Morrow county
from a land dependent entirely upon
the success of the annual wheat crop
to an area of certain financial returns
and general prosperity. The farmers
around lone have gone extensively
into the dairy business, hog raising
and poultry culture according to Mr
Knappenberg in an interview in last
Sunday's Oregonian. The dry years
have taught the lesson, for then there
was nothing to fall back upon when
the farmer experienced a failure in
his wheat crop. Now he has his cat
tle, swine and poultry to fall back
upon. The fact that the Morrow
county farmer Is becoming prosperous
Is shown by the great number of auto
mobiles which have come into common
use. Mr. Knappenberg says, "It is
no uncommon sight to see a farmer
drive to town with the tonneau ot his
machine filled with farm products.
He will take them to market and then
load up hii machine with fence wire,
fence posts and like necessities of the
trade." In conclusion Mr Knappen
berg said. "There is no rise for any
one to pav $50 or $60 an are for land
in Oregon. Wa have plenty of it for
$10 an acre, and it can be turned into

NEY TO CONDON
Special Train Will
Large Crowd of Fans
To Ball Game.
One hnndred and fifty Morrow
county base ball fans will jonrney to
Condon Sunday by special excursion.
Our fans are still unsatisfied with
the standing of the two teams and are
firmly convinced that we have a team
that can put something over on the
Condon aggregation. The special
train will leave Heppner at 7:30
in the morning, picking up a large
crowd at both Lexington and lone.
The train will leave Condon at 5
o'oclock in the evening, arriving home
about 11 o'clock.
A purse of $300 is the main object
of the struggle and our boys should
take it after having had three days of
practice in the games at the lone cele
bration. The same men that went in
to last Sunday's game will partici
pate next Sunday as this is a part of
the agreement. The umpire has nut
yet been selectd, but when he is he
will be entirely satisfatory to both
sides.

Boosting That Counts.
Believing that one of the best ways
to discount the work of the knocaers
against the Irrigon irrigation project
with the interior department at
Washington, is to show the Secretary
himself just what is being done there,
Mr. L. B. Kicker, one of the biggest
boosters of that section, recently sent
to Secretary Lane a box of their
choice cherries in illustration of wha
is being raied oa the project. Mr,
Kiofeer states that we are going to
keep this uo all summer, and send
him the first and nicest of every fruit
that we raise here. "
Thu i, the kind of boosting that
counts , epd it will no doubt be the
moans c'l getting early and proper
recognition of the claims of the Irri
gon pro ect before tbe reclamation
seivioe. ! "The proof of the pudding:
is in the eating" and no better fruits
are raised anywhere than at Irrigon,
as tbeIeppner people can verify.
And bv the wav, h. B., don't fail to
forward the Hon. Secretary one of
those liR melons a litlSe later; that
will tiske him sit up end take notice.
The Secretary's letter of acknow
ledgement follows:
'Tbe Secretary tit the Interior,
Washington June 25, 1913.
"Dear Mr. Kickar:
I 'have received year letter of June
16 wtk! tbe box of delicious cherries
whicfa you sent me. I appreciate
your thoughtfalness in this matter;
and lso your comruents with regard:
to ytior experience as an irrigation
farmer. I shall sac that your letter;
is madti a part or, tie record for con
sideration at a later date.
With best wishes. Cordially vours,
Franklva K. Lane."

Looks Favorable Says
Engineer Lewis.
When State Engineer Lewis was in
Hepnner two weekx ago he spoke very
favorably of the artesian well proposi
tion in the northern part of the coun
ty. He says that an artesian well
looks possible in any part of that
country. The country ia so formed
that the one or two large valleys
which cut through it would not nec
essarily hinder the water from being
found in one locality more than any
other.
W. D. Newlon, who has offered the
proposition of sinking an artesian well
n that section has extended the time
until the middle of July. His proposi
tion is that the citizens raise bonus
of 120,000 which will be payable in
the land in that locality that has a
present vauation of $lo ner acre.
