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.

Services Held at Federated Church.
Lurne Audience Addressed by
Rev. W. N. Ferris.
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 approval of the new organization

Some advantage of Making Ship
ments by Parcel Post.
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.

Frank Nash has disposed of his 70
acres of alfalfa and farm land just

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

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.
