Iriday with members of the lone
city Council and State Highway en
gineers, M. O. Bennett and E. L. Vin
ton in an endeavor to unravel the
tangle presented by the highway and
drainage questions. District Attor
ney, S. E. Notson and County Road
Viewer W. O. Minor were also in' attendance.
Says the lone Independent: "After
inspecting the proposed routes the
gentlemen adjourned to the office of
the highway engineers where Mr.
Bennett explained in detail his views
on the matter from a professional
standpoint and answered such ques
tions as were asked him by the court
and council. He advocated the con
struction of a canal across the upper
end of tcAvn to take care of the wa
ter, the expense to be borne by the
city, county and railroad. This pro
position was combatted by all mem
bers of the council as being imprac
tical because of the difficulty in se
curing rights of way and Its immense
cost, the city being financially un
able (o do the w ork.
"The meeting showed the senti
ment of the lone people is against
the route o( the highway being
changed to the north side ol the rail
road track, as well as against the city
incurring the expense of controlling
the flood waters, taking the stand
that as the railroad company was re
sponsible for the existing conditions,
it is up to them to correct the evil by
conducting the waters down their
natural channel, on the north side of
the track."
No definite uction was taken either
in regard to the highway location, or
adjustment of drainage matters. The
state highway commission will have
the final say as tc where the highway
".vill go. In speaking of the matter,
Judge Campbell said that should the
road go on the north side of the rail
road track, the Reitmnnn canyon will
be bridged over. This would still
leave lone with the drainage problem
to solve, so that the matter would
then have to be taken up between
the city and the railroad company.

Marketing Problem Vp For Discussion.
The past week Iwas featured by-
number of base ball games, both of
the good and bad variety. The local
high school team went down to de
feat before the Moro high team on
Friday afternoon on the Heppner
diamond. Moro took the game, lead
ing by eight points, but a ninth in
ning rally on the part of the locals
brought them out of what at first
promised to be a complete rout,
Messinger and Hinckle was the Moro
battery with Young and Orr for
Heppner.
On Saturday afternoon Lexington
high school suffered its second defeat
of the season at the hands of the lo
cals. Young did good pitching for
Heppner while Hill in the box for
Lexington received poor support at
times from his team mates.
The one good game of the fweek

brought back by local fans. They are
of the opinion that it was one of the
best "bang-up" games they ever saw
played anywhere, which is indicated
by the score of 3 to 1. lone twon the
game.
Coast Altitude Record
Is Again Smashed
The former altitude record of 19,-
300 feet, held by Olaf ("Swede")
Meyerhoffer, made in San Diego in
1917 (with an old type Curtiss plane
equipped with an SO H. P. motor,
has been shattered. An altitude of
21,800 feet was made by Walter T.
Varney flying a Lincoln-Standard
airplane equipped with a 23S-horse-
power Hispano-Suiza motor. This
new Pacific Coast altitude record was
made over the city of San Francisco.
Varney "took off" at 10:01 o'clock
attaining an altitude of 10,000 feet
on his first circle of the field. The
further series ui circles took him out
of sight of the spectators on the
ground. His attempted altitude of
25,000 feet failed on account of the
intense cold and the rarity of the
air. At 14,000 feet he began to feel
the cold and the thermometer on the
ship" registered six degrees below
zero at the maximum height attained
on this flight. Varney's face and
even his hands although encased in
fur gloves (were blue with cold upon
landing.
While Varney reported he had dif
ficulty breathing at this great alti
tude he had no engine difficulty
whatever. Varney used Red Crown
gasoline and Zerolene lubricating
oil. Under the normal conditions of
the first stages of his flight he climb
ed at the rate of 1,000 feet a min
ute, but at an altitude of 18,000 feet
the nlr was so "thin" -that at times
the plane dropped 60 to 75 feet be
fore catching hold nnd the speed was
cut to 600 feet a niinute.-
Varney did not attempt to break
the record set by Major Schroeder
who, flying n Le Pere, attained a
height of 39,000 feet. Major Schroe
der on this great climb iwns equipped
with oxygen tanks and apparatus
and electric heated clothes, arney
plans other flights over San Francis
co and expects to establish a new al
titude record for the Pacific Const.
Meyerhoffer, Chief Test Filot for
the Varney forces, also made a test
flight and altaind a height of 19.600
feet which is 300 feet better than the
record he established three years
ago.

In accordance with the action tak

ing Deparment of the Oregon Agri
cultual College, a committee repre

Coast, and the warehouse men of
Portland, met in conference in the
Oregon Chamber of Commerce Build
ing on Tuesday, to discuss the mar
keting of wool and the plans for re

Wool Growers Association. Among
those present were J. Dobbin of Jo

tary of the Oregon Wool Growers;
F. A. McMenamin, Ed Nelll, Jack

C. Emery and D. E. Hurd of Douglas
county; Dr. McPherson, Paul V. Mar
is, and J. P. Nelson from the Market
ing Department of the Oregon Agri

the Columbia Basin Wool Warehouse
company; Mr. Clarkson, representa
tive from the Portland Wool Ware
house company; Mr. Clark, Mr. Zim
merman, and others prominently
identified with the wool trade of the
Pacific Northwest. The meeting was
a big success, a great deal of live
discussion took place and a splendid
spirit of harmony and co-operation
prevailed throughout. The people
In Portland seemed to be willing to
meet the growers on practically any
condition and upon practically any
plan upon which the growers could
unite. If it is the Iwill of the grow
ers to send their clip to Portland, the
people in Portland are willing to as
sist them in doing so. It it is their
will to continue sales in the country,
why sales in the country will con-'
tinue to be the marketing plan for
wool. These matters are vital to the
interests of the sheepmen of Eastern
Oregon, as well as the marketing of
sheep and lambs. All of these prob
lems will be taken up and definitely
discussed by men mho represented
their fellow sheep raisers in these
committee meetings, as well as by
Dr. McClure, the retiring secretary
of the National Wool Growers Asso
ciation; President J. Dobbin and the
secretary of the state organization,
Mac Hoke of Wallowa county, at a
special meeting which will be called
in Heppner at 1:30 p. m., on Satur
day, May 1st. At this time the opin
ion of local growers as to the advis
ability of transferring the twool sales
to Portland, as is the recommenda
tion of the committee of growers who
went to Portland, will be taken up
and given definite consideration. As
well as this, the re-organization of
the state association upon a basis
which will really get the grower of
wool and sheep In Eastern Oregon
some definite benefit will be under
taken and committees looking to
ward definite results finally appoint
ed. Every one interested in the
sheep business, within reach of Hepp
ner, whether he be located in Gill
iam, Wheeler, Grant or Umatilla
county should plan to be in attend
ance. Remember the date and be on
hand.

Maude Eburne With
Taylor Holmes In "Taxi"
Maude Eburne, the eccentric maid-
of-all-work in Taylor Holmes' latest
starring vehicle, "Taxi," at the Star
heater next Wednesday, has been
amusing thousands during the 1920
theatrical season at the Globe Thea
tre on Broadway. Miss Eburne is
the grotesque slavey in "The Can
ary, a musical comedy by that name
featuring Joseph Calwthorn aud Ju
lian Sanderson.
Of course Miss Eburne is not
really a maid-of-all-work. She is an
unusually talented actress. But one
might think she was made for all
work. For "Taxi" was screened dur
ing the height of "The Canary's"
success in Broadway. And despite
he necessity for her presence on the
stage most of the time during the
two weekly matinees and every even-
ng of the (week, Miss Eburne nian-
iged to find time to go through the
lengthy rehearsals that were neces-
iry for her screen presentation, and
to actually perform before the cam
era in tho early hours of the morning.
"You see, I have been associated
with Mr. Holmes in his past produc
tions, and one always acquires a bit
of fun and good humor from one's
ssociatlons with this star, which
more thau repays for some addi
tional hard work. So despite my
theatrical engagement I think it was
fortunate that I should have been In
Nefw York when 'Taxi' was screened."
Everyone who sees this produc
tion will feel grateful that Miss
Eburne felt that way ubout It. Fur
ertalnly she must be credited with
share of the laughs which are pro
voked by tills latest Holmes comedy.
