TO BE HEPPNER ES STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE OREGON COUNTIES AIDED Both Teams Play Fast Ball In Two Days Meet at Echo They Play Here Saturday. We got revenge, and that Is what ' we went after, even If It did take i,two days of hard playing to get It. The first game on Friday gave prom ise of being the best game played in the "bushes" this year, but along about the sixth inning, the threaten ing clouds which had been hanging overhead all moAlng, gave forth . their contents In large quantities and the game was cf lied. The score was nil for both sides at the calling. Both teams were playing excellent ball, but It could be seen that Echo was growing gradually weaker and had the game lasted the full nine innings, the score would have been in our favor. The new game began at ten- o'clock the next morning, with the same line up for our team and the same for Echo, with the exception of Fulford, who took Rhea's position at short stop. During this game, which re sulted in a victory for us, by a 4 to 2 score, Harlan struck out 15 men and Bryant benched 13 with the Bame methods. Umpire Carr caused some dissatisfaction for the visitors, but we won the game anyway so what's the use. The trip was made by auto and the boys enjoyed themselves greatly. Several fans accompanied . them. ' The two teams will meet on the local diamond Saturday afternoon Come out and root for your home . team, for they will need your support .and you will see a good game in the bargain.

Memorial Sunday was appropriate ly observed in Heppner last Sunday when a large congregation gathered at the Federated church to llKten to a splendid address Dy ttev. rerns. j A splendid program of music which had been prepared by the men's chor us was offered in a very acceptable manner. A male chorus is a novelty in Heppner, but this dne proved its musical worth and was accepted ac cordingly. In addressing the old soldiers, Rev. Ferris called their attention to the fact that in conquering the South the soldiers of the North had fought a people inferior in numbers only. He laid much stress upon the citizenship of the Southland. They fought for what they thought was their right and when the time came that they could no longer hold their ground they accepted defeat and laid down their arms. He pointed to the fact that today, except in a political sense there is no North, no South, the country being solidly united in de fense of the stars and stripes. While the speaker dwelt at much length up on the South and its people it was not to the discredit of the North. In fact, his version of the civil war was that the outcome could not have been otherwise and receive .the sanction of God. HI point was well taken and in all the address was a thought ful, patriotic eulogy. ' The ranks of the old soldiers are yearly growing thinner. This year there were but six of the veterans present at the memorial services. These were J. C. Ball, H. D. Mikesell, N. S. Whetstone, J. L. Simpson, Andrew Rood, and Mr. Bowers. A number of the ladies of the Relief Corps were present. URGE HOG SHIPMENT Messrs. Neal Bros., Otis Cork, Joe Putnam and Jim Turner, all of Mon ument, arrived at Heppner the first of the week with a targe bunch of hogs to be shipped to the Portland market. Each party brought in a car load, and Neal Bros, and Cork shipped out Wednesday. The other parties will not make shipment for while yet, waiting to top off their stuff and put it in better shape for the market. The people over about Monument are raising more corn every year and they are developing good corn country. This means that they are now raising more hogs for market even though they are somewhat remote from the shipping point. It required eight days to drive in the swine from the interior and the trip could not have been made In this time had it not been for the cool weather. The hogs all ar rived at Heppner in good condition REV. H. A. VAN WtNKLE IQ Mrs. H. A. Van Winkle and child ren departed yesterday for Barlow Oregon, where they will visit at the home of Mr. Van Winkle's mother for a short time. Rev. Van Winkle will close his work with the Christian church at this place on next Sunday and will then join his family and go on to Tillamook to take up work there for the coming year. During their stay of about two years in Heppner, Mr. Van Winkle and wife have done some good work with the church and have formed many warm and lasting friendships, and the best wishes not only of the church but the entire community go with them for their future success. Some complaint is expressed by travellers coming into Heppner be cause of the lack of proper sign boards along the county roads. Each road and cross road in every dis trict should be properly marked for the convenience of people passing through the county as is the case in every well regulated county. THE FEDERATED CHURCH. services oi special mtereBt an importance to all will be held Sun day morning., Bible school at 9:4 a. m.; Divine worship at 11:00.

Commencement week of the June 1914 graduating class of Heppner High Sshool will begin on next Sun day evening at the High School audi- torlum, when the outgoing class will . be addressed by Rev. W. N. Ferris of the Federated church. Special music for the evening is being prepared by Miss Marion Long, supervisor of mu sic, and it is expected that the large assembly room will be filled with parents and friends of the eleven graduates. The regular order 'of things rela tive to commencement week has been changed this year by those in charge, and as a result the final week will be cut Bhort one night. This has been brought about by eliminating the Ight of orations, class prophecies, eulogies, etc. - On Friday evening, June 5, the class will present their play, "She Stoops to Conquer," the comedy by Oliver Goldsmith. The leading parts in this play are carried by the members of the 1914 class, and they are aided by other members of the High School. Following the play, the students will be presented by Supt. Hoffman to a member of OMPLETE ORGANIZATION OF MOR ROW COUNTY CREAMERY EFFECTED W. B. Barratt, J. J. Wightman, F. E. Bell, J. T.

F. hall on yesterdoy afternoon, a complete organization was effected. This meeting was held subject to the call of A. L. Sparling, organizing secretary and W. B. Bar ratt acted as chairman. The first order of business was the election of a board of directors, and this resulted in the choosing of W. B. Barratt, J. J. Wightman, F. E. Bell, J. T. Knappenberg and Jen Jones. By-laws were adopted and the charter received from the In corporators. A meeting of the directors for the election of officers was postponed for a time as the hour was late.

"We are striving to make this commencement equal to the occasion, the first in our new school building,' said Supt. Hoffman, in speaking of this event. "In fact we are attempt ing to surpass anything eUe hereto fore attempted and I believe we will. Our play is something that is laugh able, and the many - mis-fits which come into the play make it highly enjoyable." The cast of those taking the princi pal parts in "She Stoops to Conquer" is as follows: Sir Charles Marlow. . .Ralph Justus Young Marlow George Peck Squire Hardcastle .... Harvie Young George Hastings , .Miles Potter Tony Lumpkin Creston Maddock Diggory Walter Yeager Roger Johii Elder Mrs. Hardcastle. .. .Mildred Allison Kate Hardcastle Nora Hughes Constance Neville. ..... .Ella Aiken Maid Gladys Musgrave The above contains the full list of members of the 1914 class of Hepp ner High School at $10,000. not longer than ninety days at the An arrangement has been made whereby the Lexington Creamery plant is to be taken over by the new company. This is contingent upon the approval of the new organization and the directors of the Morrow County Creamery & Cold Storage Company are authorized to attend to this matter and close up the nego tiations. The offer made as an nounced in our last issue will no doubt be accepted, whereupon the business of that locality will be di verted to Heppner. The board of directors and officers chosen are good business men. They come from different portions of the county, the aim being to get proper representation on the official board of the company from each section in terested. Co-operation on the part of all subscribers and the determination to make this new organization one that will promote the dairying interests of the entire county is the spirit that prevails, and it spells success.

A shipment of 1200 pounds of seed rye was sent by parcel post from urns to Fort Rock, Lake county, a distance of 120 miles. It was within the second zone and the postal rate was $1.08 per hundred pounds. In stead of going to Fort Rock by pack horse or conveyance it of course had to follow the usual mail route. The stage hauled it 86 miles from Burns to Prairie City. It was then taken to Prairie City. It was then shipped by rail over the Sumpter Valley road 86 miles to Baker City. Then to Portland over the O.-W. R. & N. 350 miles. Then by S. P. to Sacramento 00 miles. Then to Reno 250 miles. Then by N. C. & O. 175 miles to Lakevlew. Then by stago 130 miles to Fort Rock. This rye was hauled about 2000 miles to be delivered 120 miles from the starting point. It traveled over two stage lines and half a dozen railroads and passed through three states and still kept within the rate charged for the 2nd postal zone. Makes Sale of Farm. Frank Nash has disposed of his 70 acres of alfalfa and farm land just east of lone on Willow creek to Frank Akers of lone, and Mr. Akers has taken possession. This is one of the best small farms along the creek, and since he has been living there Mr. Nash has improved it very extensive ly, making it an attractive piece of property. The consideration was $12,000. Mr. Nash and family are stopping in Heppner at present and will remain here until they decide on a future location. EDITORS HOLD MEETING A meeting of newspaper men of Eastern Oregon was held at Arling ton on Saturday last and some im portant matters pertaining to the welfare of the publishers of this sec tion of the state were gone into. The conclusions reached are to be put in shape to be presented to every publisher of Eastern Oregon, with the purpose in vew of getting co-op erative action in the promotion of mutual interests. Following the meeting the editors were served with a banquet at the Grande hotel which was tendered them by the Commer cial Club and participated in by some 0 or more of Arlington's progress ive citizens, both ladies and gentle men. TO VISIT OLD HOI Leo Blackman arrived from Man- zanillo, Mexico, Monday on a visit to the old home town, and is stopping at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Phill Cohn. Mr. Blackman Is on a fur lough which may last for a number of weeks, as his company have closed down business for the present in Mexico. Since leaving Heppner eight years ago, Leo has completed his un iversity course and has been busily engaged in the work of his profession as a mining engineer, spending some time in South America, and the past four years in Mexico. In fact it has been about 11 years since he left Heppner to enter school and this is his second visit here since that time, He is greatly pleased to be able to see all his former schoolmates and chums and finds that a number of the young people have grown somewhat out of his knowledge. Mr. Black man will be here for a week or ten days and maybe longer, it depends al together on how soon his company call him into service again. Mr. Blackman has had some real experience since living in the repub He of Mexico, and it is indeed inter esting to hear him recite portions of it. In fact he had a rather hard time of it in getting away from there on this trip and his many old-time friends here are glad to know that he escaped entirely unharmed, al though it was apparently no fault of the Mexicans that he did. The students of the high school accompanied by their Instructors, en joyed a day's outing up on the left fork of Willow creek last Saturday, This trip is taken by the students every year, and has become a regu lar annual event. But Only Those Having A Progressive Roads Pol icy Will Share in State Road Fund. Portland, Ore., May 26, (Special) The State Highway Commission has decided that only such counties in the state as will provide sub stantial funds with which to build permanent roads will participate in the division of state road funds. There is still remaining in the road fund $170,000, and the Commission has virtually decided that this Him .vill be divided among those counties which have already voted road bonds and those that vote them at the next election. This means that counties which are to be aided in hard-sur face road building from the state fund this year are: Clatsop, Jackson, and Columbia with the possible ad dition of Clackamas, Marion and Coos. Within the past few days the logs which will be used as pillars around he Oregon Building at San Fran cisco next year have been shipped. Of the total number of 48 logs to be sent, seven carloads were shipped from Portland, three carloads from Central Oregon and one car from Southern Oregon, while 12 logs will be sent by steamer from Coos Bay. The logs have been collected from arious sections of the state and were donated by lumber manufacturers. The average weight of the logs is 29- 000 pounds and there is only one derrick In this city which can handle them that belonging to the O.-W. R. & N. Co. on the Albina Dock. . The Oregon building at the expos ition is to be of Grecian architecture on the plan of the Parthenon at Ath ens. The 48 log pillars surrounding it will be 5 feet in diameter and 45 feet high. They will be dedicated to the 48 states of the Union and each will bear the emblem of a state. One of the newest and most Inter esting crops raised in Oregon is the mint from which peppermint oil is extracted. In other sections of the country where this oil is an establish ed product, the oil sells at $3 to $4 per pound. Experiments conducted in the vicinity of West Stayton, Mar lon county, indicates that this crop, when grown under irrigation, will yield at the rate of $120 per acre. It is expected that a plant for dis tilling the oil will be erected at West Stayton and a profitable business in the shipping of plants to other sec tions built up. The Sixth Annual Union Livestock Show will be held on the associa tion's grounds at Union June 4-5-6. Although the show has been steadily Increasing in importance during the past four years, it is expected that the exhibition next month will far outclass any predecessors and will compare favorably with the largest similar shows anywhere in the north west. The main object of the show is to encourage the breeding and feeding of only the best types of live stock for definite practical purposes. Some of the best stock raised in Ore gon is to be found in Union and ad joining counties. Arlington Makes Improvements. The citizenship of the City of Ar lington are justly proud of the civic improvements they have been mak ing recently. Wide, paved sidewalks have been put in from one end of Main street to the other, with con crete crossings all along; a filtering system for their waterworks and an electric light plant, owned by the town, are improvements just com pleted and these are monuments to the enterprise and public spirit of the place. Added to this, many fine residences have been built, around which are beautiful lawns and rose gardens, these showing the faith the people have in their community. The Record-Chieftain, published at Enterprise, came out with their "souvenir edition" last week. The number is full of pictures of Wallowa county homes, farms and mountain scenery. It also contains much val uable information as to the county's resources. It is the most valuable survey of Wallowa county ever at tempted. A number of cases of spotted fever have been reported in the country press of Eastern Oregon this spring. A few years ago this malady was con fined to Montana but it seems to have infected the ticks of this part of the country, and Grant county has had its share of cases of spotted fever. No fatalities have resulted here so far as known. Canyon City Eagle. 1 J
