Memorial Sunday was fittingly ob
served by union services at the Fed
erated church on last Sunday morn
ing under the auspices of Rawlins
Post, G. A. R. of this city. A rem
nant of three Grand Army men were
in attendance, and a -number of
members of the W. R. C., while Dor
ic Lodge No. 20, K. of P., attended
in a body. The church was filled to
capacity to listen to the sermon de
livered by W. 0. Livingstone, pastor
of the Christian church, who was
assisted in the services by Rev. E. L.
Moore, pastor of the Federated
church.
The Sunday services in a large
measure prepared the people for the
proper observance of Decoration
Day on Tuesday, when great num
bers of citizens joined in with the
G. A. R., W. R. C, Boy Scouts and
Knightst of Pythias and marched to
the cemetery, where short services
were held about the W. R. C. mon
ument and a short patriotic address
was delivered by Rev. E. L. Moore,
following which the K. of P. memor
ial service was said over the grave
of a departed brother, and ageneral
decoration of the graves of the de
parted took place. The business
houses of the city .were closed all
day.
A casual passing over the ceme
tery grounds revealed the fact that
a large number of graves were very
beautifully decorated with flowers
and evergreens and many lots had
been put in especially attractive
shape for the occasion. There seem
ed to be a better general spirit of
observance of Decoration Day, indi
cating that our people are taking
time, at least one day out of the
year, to stop and think in a proper
manner of the departed. That the
day may become more and more sa
cred as well as universally sbserved
is the wish of all right thinking peo
ple. Lexington Church, of Christ
We had good services both morn
ing and evening last Sunday and are
looking forward to another good day
next Sunday. Your presence will
help fill your spiritual need and will
also help the church. You will en
joy attending. The services of the
day are as follows:

Ray Young, who was so seriously
burned in a powder explosion near
Lexington last week, and who has
since been under the care of Dr. Mc-
Murdo at the Heppner Surgical hos
pital, is reported today to be slowly
improving, though not yet out of
danger. His physician states that all
symptoms are better now. Mr. Young
has apparently passed the crises in
his condition and should gradually
improve. It developed that his burns
were much more serious than ap
peared at first, and it is owing to the
fact that he was enjoying perfect
health at the time of the accident
that he is doing so well at present.
Dr. Attelson, a specialist of Portland,
came in last night and went over the
case thoroughly, leaving early this
forenoon. He found everything
possible being done and thinks Mr.
Young should now pull through all
riirht. He appears to be much better
today than for several days past but
his recovery will necessarily be slow
because of the very deep burns on
legs and arms.

HONORED
J. mm DIB
Following an illness of several
years, which became more acute dur
ing the past few months, Robert
John Wilkin, a pioneer resident of
Morrow county was called to his re
ward at the home of his son, Frank
Wilkin, near Lexington, on Sunday,
Alay 28, 1922, at the age of 75 years.
Funeral services for the deceased
were held at Lexington on Tuesday,
Arthur A. Harriman, pastor of the
Christian church, delivering the ser
mon. These services were attended
by a large number of friends and re
latives who followed the remains to
the Lexington cemetery where they
were deposited in their last resting
place.
Robert John Wilkin was born in
Cleveland, Ohio, and was 75 years
of age last January. He was mar
ried to Lucy Gentry in 1868 and
came to Oregon in 1878, settling in
Morrow county, where he has re
sided ever since. Six children were
born to Mr. and Mrs. Wilkin, five of
whom survive, these being Mrs. Sad
ie Mitchell of Anacortes, Wash.;
Mrs. Bessie Kirk of Moler, Oregon ;
Mrs. Kate Buzzell of Centralia,
Wash.; Mrs. Nellis Gillespie of Sea
side, Oregon and Frank Wilkin of
Lexington, Oegron.
He was a life long member of the
Baptist diurch and a good father.
For several years past he had been
in very poor health but through this
all was patient and uncomplaining.

monia after an illness of eight days
and nights, during which time every
thing that was possible for human
hands to do was done for her. Dr.
Hayden called to his assistance a
physician from Portland, who arriv
ed just too late as Mrs. Hayden died
before he reached Monument.

Fire Damages Penland Resi
dence At 1Z O'CIock Today
Just at noon today fire broke out
at the residence of Mrs. Rebecca
Penland, starting from a defective
flip in the kitchen at the back of
the house. Before it was discover
ed by Mrs. Penland, who was at
work running the lawn mower in
the yard just at the time, it had gain
ed considerable headway, and by the
time help arrived the fire bad spread
pretty well over the house under the
roof. Prompt work soon had the
fire under control and no extensive
damage was done. The furnishings
of the residence were promptly re
moved and saved from damage by
fire and water and apparently the
greater damage to the house was
caused by water. There was a strong
wind blowing from the north at the
time, and had the fire got out of
control once there would have been
no telling how far it would have
reached.

FISHERMEN OFF THE JOB
UNTIL COMING SEASON
A number of our local fishermen
have retired from the fascinating
sport of enticing the finny tribe from
the sparkling waters of the creeks
of Morrow county for this season,
at least, having been summarily re
lieved of their tackle and licenses.
It all came about last Sunday
when these gentlemen were enjoy
ing a little outing for their health up
in the timber and bethought them
selves of the necessity of gathering
in some fish "for the children." The
trouble was that a deputy game war
den came along unannounced and in
peeking into the numerous baskets
found trout short of the requirements
numerous fish less than six inches
in length having been dropped care
lessly into the baskets instead of be
ing thrown back into the .creek to
die. Mr. Warden would accept no
explanations, so the gentlemen were
labeled to appear in the court of
Judge Cornett on Monday, where
they received their sentence and paid
their assessments and left their "re
grets.
An ex-sheriff, a deputy county offi
cial and a prominent barber of the
city were among those taken in, and
the fines they received is but a drop
in the bucket to the guying they have
received at the hands of their
friends.
LIVE FOREST NOTES OE
THE CLIRDANE DISTRICT
Work as been started on the road
and telephone maintenance work of
the district. The severe storm of
last November and the unusually
heavy fall of snow during the win
ter have played havoc with the
roads and telephone lines, making
the maintenance quite heavy. The
lateness of the season has greatly
delayed getting onto the higher
ground. The road between Ukiah
and Ellis Ranger Station is clear
of logs and down trees and much of
the loose rocks have been removed.
As soon as the snow drifts are gone
and the ground settled the road will
be open for travel. The impassable
piece of road in the gulch in the
Sturdivant pasture has been detour
ed by new construction.
W. S. Casteel has again accepted
the position of guard and is working
with Ranger Woods in maintenance
work. Mr. Casteel will probably be
stationed at Ditch creek ranger sta
tion during the fire season.
The snow is going rapidly and the
ground is settling very soon after
becoming bare. It is probable that
when the feed does start that the
long days of sunshine will bring it
on rapidly. The stockmen are volun
tarily holding their stock" off the
range.
Prof. H. M. James and wife
daughters Mercedeth and Lois and
Mrs. M. Jordan departed this morning
for Wenatchee, Wash. Mr. James
has a small fruit tract there which
he desires to look after for a short
time. Vivian James will remain at
Heppner for a short time, expecting
to join her parents when they return
to Portland and then go with them
on a journey through California
Prof. James and wife will teach in
the Arlington high school the com
ing year, he having the principal-
ship.

LAW OH IRUi BIS
TRICT UPHELD BY COURT
Findings and conclusions of law
and a decree in the case of the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad Co. and Dan
P. Smythe and other big property
owners against the John Day Irri
gation District have been returned
by Judge Gilbert W. Phelps follow
ing several months in litigation in
the case.
Some of the chief features involv
ed in the case which the court has
decided are as follows:
The law under which the district
is organized is a valid law and the
district is regularly organized.
The contract entered into between
the district and Lewis and Clark,
engineers, was valid at the time it
was made.
The sptcial assessment of 50 cents
the acre, levied in 1920, is valid and
constitutes a lien on the land, the
court rules.
The contract on January 4, 1921,
between the irrigation district and
the engineering firm was beyond the
power of the board to make.
Warrants up to the amount of
$20,000 for the services of Lewis
and Clark should be paid. The court
finds that the testimony does not in
dicate just what sum in excess of
this amount the engineering firm is
entitled to receive, but indicates that
this payment may Be adjusted be
tween the district and the engineers,
failing which the engineers have the
right to bring action in court to have
the amount of fair compensation es
tablished. One of the chief questions brought
up by the litigation is whether pres
ent state laws applying to the orga
nization of irrigation districts is con
stitutional. Judge Phelps holds that
the law is constitutional.
In the decree, the court sets forth
the remuneration the secretary of
the board was entitled to receive.
The exact amount cue the boards
former attorney, F. A. McMenamin,
can not be ascertained from the test
imony introduced, the court holds.
The litigation has teen m court
since early last spring. Testimony
has been given on several occasions
since that time. East Oregonian.
Lexington Young Lady
Weds Portland Man
The marriage of Miss Edna Bau
man, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D.
Bauman of near Lexington, and Mr.
Walter Lyons, of Portland, was sol
emnized at the parsonage of the Fed
erated church in this city on last
Sunday morning at 9:30 o clock,
Rev. E. L. Moore, pastor of the Fed-
church, officiating and the parents of
the bride being present. Following
the ceremony the young couple re
paired to the country home of the
bride's parents where an elaborate
wedding dinner was enjoyed, follow
ing which the bride and bridegroom
motored to Portland, their future
home.
Miss Bauman was a very popular
young woman of the Lexington sec
tion, where she had a large circle of
friends, and Mr. Lyons is engaged
in business in Portland.
E. W. Rhea and wife drove over
from their home on the Umatilla riv
er below Hermiston, Wednesday,
and spent a couple of days visiting
with relatives here. It has tjeen
sometime since they, visited in Hepp
ner. Sunday Game Postponed
A game of ball had been schedul
ed for next Sunday on the local dia-
mond between Moro and Heppner,
but we were informed by Manager
Van Marter yesterday that the game
had been called off by Moro owing
to the fact that there was big doings
on at the home town for the week
end and they desired to have the ball
game there. As a consequence the
Heppner team will go over to Moro
and play there on next Sunday. The
following Sunday Condon's team
will come to Heppner again for an
other game, at which time the locals
hope to be able to put it over them
and make up for the losses of Mon
day and Tuesday of this week.
Moro is said to have one of the
best teams playing in this section
this season, and they are out to take
everyting in sight. They will mix
with Condon this week, and then on
the 18th will come to Heppner for
the game that was scheduled for the
coming Sunday.

MORROW COUNTY LEGION
MEN YOTE FOR '40 AND 8'
About forty-fie ex-service men
were guests of Heppner Post No.
87 at a big chicken dinner at the
Elkhorn restaurant last Saturday
evening. Proprietor Chinn outdid
himself in preparing the feed and ev
erybody was completetly satisfied.
The meeting was called for the pur
pose of acting upon the proposition
of organizing a local "40 and 8," the
playground of the Legion.
Commander Hatch of the Board-
man post was present and presented
the proposition in such a way that
when the matter came to a vote it
was unanimously decided to apply
for a charter and start the organiza
tion off. It is expected that a "wreck
ing crew" from The Dalles will ini
tiate the Morrow county local, and as
soon as the charter is granted the
local Legionaires will be given the
rough and stormy voyage. The cer
emonies will be held in Heppner
some time this month.
FOR BREAKFAST: Hot biscuit
with jelly and butter, grape fruit, or
anges, bacon and eggs, breakfast
foods and coffee. How does that
sound? This is the menu of the
Breakfast the Christian Endeavor

WOUNDED BY .22 BULLET
While walking up the railroad
track Sunday evening, just before
the arrival of the local train, Mrs.
Floyd Tolleson, who was accompan
ied by her little daughter, received
a painful wound in the hip from a
shot from a 22-calibre rifle. At the
time of the accident, Mrs. Tolleson
was near the Frank S. Parker farm
house. Carol Shurte and Earl Mer-
ritt, two boys, were shooting in that
vicinity and had just passed her a
short distance when she was struck
by a flying bullet. The lady was
able to walk on to the depot where
her husband works, when a physi
cian and assistance was called and
she was taken home. The wound
was a deep one and the physician
was unable to locate the ball.
Dr. Chick, who is attending Mrs
Tolleson, states that she is getting
along all right now and should soon
be over her injuries.
There is stringent laws against
shooting on the public highways and
on the railroad right of way. This
accident should be a warning to all
those who are in the habit of doing
promiscuous shooting in the environs
of the city that they should exercise
great precaution. If the little child
at the side of Mrs. Tolleson had
been struck, the results might have
been far different, as it might also
have been with the mother had she
been wounded in some vital part of
the body.
There will be preaching in the
Federated church, Sunday, June 4,
both morning and evening.

E SERIES HERE
Monday and Tuesday were evi
dently not lucky days for the local
ball team, and the fans had to be sat
isfied to witness the home boys go
down to defeat in the two-game scr
ies against Condon. Both games
were greeted by large crowds, the
weather conditions being ideal for
ball playing, and the fans were en
thusiastic, yet the games were not as
snappy as they should have been.
This was especially true of Monday's
game, when everything seemed to
go wrong, especially with the locals.
There was dissatisfaction with the
decisions of the umpire right in the
beginning and after standing the gaff
for three or four innings, Umpire
Anderson threw up his hands and
walked off the field, and Dave Wil
son was put in ,to finish the job. Fol
lowing this, Moeller, Heppners
pitcher got a biff with the ball on
his pitching arm while at the bat,
and he was out of the game. This
was unfortunate for Heppner, as
they had no supply pitcher, and Clif
ford, Heppners star catcher had to
go in the box. Condon found him
readily and with a series of errors
on the part of Heppner, were able
to run in numerous scores. Heppner
had held them tight for the first four
innings, then in the 5th Condon
marked up 3 tallies, which added to
one each in the 1st, 2nd and 4th, put
them one in the lead, then in the 8th
they annexed 3 to which they added
4 more in the 9th. Heppner scored
2 in the 3rd, 3 in the 5th and one in
the 8th, a total of 6 to Condon's 13.
It really looked like good, tight
ball to begin with, but neither team
played up to their standard in the
Monday game..
Batteries Monday were Clow and
C. Fitzmaurice for Condon ; Moeller
and Clifford and Clifford and Aiken
for Heppner.
Umpires, P. A. Anderson and
Dave Wilson. ' " ,
Better things seemed in store for
the locals cn Tuesday. They had a
new pitcher jn the box and every
man was up and playing good ball.
Condon was also on tip toe, and they
did not overlook anything. Raybine
was in the box for Heppner. He
was a big duffer, and looked like
he could stand a lot and should have
been able to do good work. He had
nothing on the ball, however, and his
delivery was straight from the shoul
der, which necessitated his keeping
the ball away from the plate very
consistently and the net result was
the filling of bases by passed balls,
all of which worked greatly to the
advantage of the visitors. Raybine
could not stay the game out, and in
the middle of the eighth, with the
bases full and no one out, Moeller
had to pull Heppner out of the hole.
which he succeeded in doing. The
result was a victory for the visitors,
9 to 6. Some costly errors occurred
on the part of both teams, but weak
pitching on the part of Heppner al
lowed the game to go astray.
Batteries Tuesday were Fitchner
and Fitzmaurice for Condon; Ray
bine and Clifford and Moeller and
Clifford for Heppner.
Umpire, Dave Wilson.
Regardless of the fact that the
score card was marked up pretty
strong each day, there was much of
interest in the games, especially that
of Tuesday, and many brilliant plays
were made by both teams in the in
field and outfield. Heppner scored
two doubles in the last game; their
catcher, Clifford, was right there all
the time, and no errors can be cred
ited to him.
There will doubtless be some
strengthening of the home team
when they meet Condon again, and
they should win. Condon had a fine
