NOTSON, Heppner, Ore, Condon Wins First Game from Heppner Visitors Outplayed Locals Her Sun day. Score 7-2; Does Not Affect League Standing; Condon took Heppner into camp, 7-2. in the first game of baseball on the local diamond this season. Sun day afternoon. Heppner was the first to score, making two tallies in the second inning, and succeeded in holding the older heads of the Con don team without a score till the fourth. When Condon started clouting the ball in the fourth inning, however, the locals were unable to hold them and four men crossed home plate be fore they could stem the tide. Condon ran in three more runs tn the suc ceeding innings, while Heppner made her only two scores in the second. The game was not ai fast as some that have been seen locally and there were no outstanding stars, both teams having many errors chalked up against them. However, the local boys succeeded in pulling out of sev eral pretty bad holes with fast field ing and a couple of double-plays. Condon had the edge on Heppner to a considerable degree in the num ber of hits made, and they also made fewer strike-outs. Clow, pitching for Condon, was in good form and was able to tighten down when occasion arose, while Leonetti, Heppner's light mound-man, was dependent nearly al together on his support to put out the opposing batters. Batteries Sunday were Clow and Charlie FiUmaurice for Condon, and Leonetti and King, Heppner. Hepp ner's lineup on bases and fields was J. Aiken, fb; Paul Aiken, bo, Craw ford, ss; Van Marter, tb; Goodman, rf; Anderson, cf; Parker, If. Heppner plays lone on the local diamond next Sunday, in the first game under the new league rulings. The game against Condon did not count In league standings. LOCAL H ITEMS Harold W. Dobyns, wife and little daughter Patricia, drove over from Olympia, Wash., Saturday to the home of Mr. and Mrs. H.

ANP l Business Men of City Give Aid to Ball Team Heppner business men responded promptly and liberally to the sup port of the ball team on Monday when visited by a committee repre senting the club, and the sum of $276 was raised for the fund. This is fine encouragement and the Hepp ner team appreciates the support giv en very much. In response to the efforts of the committee, there was scarcely a business house that did not act promptly and liberally in offer ing financial aid, and the ball boys are encouraged to proceed with their practice more energetically than ever and are entering the season determin ed that they will have some of the long end of the scores in the games that are outlined by the newly form ed Morrow-Gilliam league. At a meeting of the club held early in the week, Walter LaDusire, who had been ehopen as manager, tend ered his resignation and Frank Shive ly was elected to the place. Under the management of Mr. Shively the boys will be encouraged to put forth their best efforts in furnishing good, clean sport and they Hhould be given the proper boost by all who love the great national game. Young Man Injured By Powder Explosion Marlon Hayden, son of Geo. H. Hay den, who is in charge of some road work on Butter creek, was quite ser iously injured the fore part of last week by the premature explosion of a blast The charge of powder was light or the results would have been far more serious to young Hayden, who was looking Into the hole at the time the explosion occurred. He did not realize that the fuse had been lighted and stepped to the hole for some minor adjustment. Sand was blown Into his face and hair and he suffered quite severe cuts with small portions of rock, narrowly escaping serious injury to his eyes. He was brought to Heppner where Dr. John ston waited on him and dressed his wounds. It was found that his eyes were not affected by the explosion, and he is fast recovering from the injuries. 200,000 Bushels of Wheat Sold in Pendleton in Week During the past week about 200,- 000 bushels of wheat was sold In Pendleton, according to the estimate of H. W. Collins, local grain buyer and milter. The sales are said to have been spread over the week with the heaviest movement recorded Saturday. The prices actually paid for the crop ranged from 81 to 83 cents the bushel, Mr. Collins said. He esti mates that farmers of the wheat belt are still In possession of slightly more than 1,000,000 bushels of wheat No offers to contract wheat for fall delivery have been made, local grain buyers state, and due to the fact that legislation of some sort may be pass ed the buyers declared that contract ing probably will not be attempted until the trade has had a chance to study whntever laws may be passed.

Umatilla National Forest Covers Much Territory By S. R. WOODS, Forest Ranger. The Umatilla National Forest em braces a gross area of almost 1 million acres, being approximately the same area as the state of Delaware. It lies in three divisions extending from in Wheeler county, Oregon, into Asotin county, Washington, a distance of one hundred seventy miles. It contains land in six counties in Ore- gon and four counties In Washington. iT-tni- has -ai.-A Zma The Umatilla has estimated stand of 4Vs billion feet of merchantable timber, enough, if sawed into inch boards to build a sidewalk 10 feet wide three times around the earth. To protect this timber from fire costs the government about 1c an acre a year. The grazing authorisation Is fori 137,704 head of sheep and 18,062 car tie and horses. Timber and grazing are not the only resource of the Umatilla Na tional Forest. It is estimated that there are c.bout 8,000 head of deer and elk and over 1,300 bears on the forest, besides smaller game and fish. Close to 10,000 visitors (hunters, fishers, recreationists, etc.) come In to the Forest each season and the number is rapidly increasing. Four teen permits have been Issued for summer homes and hunting lodges. In addition the Forest affords wa tershed protection and enforcement of sanitation on scores of creeks and rivers and assures a steady stream flow for water power, irrigation and city water supply. The administration of the Umatilla National Forest is in the hands of a supervisor and his two assistants with headquarters in Pendleton and nine district rangers who are in the field most of the time. There are two office clerks. During the fire season thia force is increased by the addition of twenty-five short term men for ranger assistants, smoke-chasers and lookout men. About seventy-five la borers are employed on Improvement work, mostly roads and trails, and kept In readiness as the first line of defense in case of fire. To properly administer a business of this site and to efficiently protect the timber from fire, an extensive system of Improvements has been constructed and is being maintained and extended. The total value of these improvements Is about $171,268. There are over eighty cabins, bams, store houses and other buildings; and about forty miles of pasture fences at ranger stations. There are fifty-eight mites of range fences which are largely maintained by the stock men in cooperation. The Forest now has slightly over four hundred sev enty miles of telephone lines enough to reach from the northern boundary of Nevada to the Canadian line and about twenty-five miles more line is being built each Beason. There are one hundred twenty-eight miles of roads. Forest Service trails are equal In mileage to the distance from Portland, Oregon, to Lewiston, Idaho. This does not include any but the high grade trails, from which the logs and brush are removed each spring. Through the high mountain section where the Forest lies the upkeep of all improvements, especially telephone lines, roads, trails and fences, is quite heavy because of the extremely heavy snows and fierce winter storms which break down much brush and throw large numbers of trees. The expense of administering the Umatilla National Forest is about $33,000 a year. The money for roads and trails and for fighting big fires comes from other funds and varies according to the requirements; but averages about $4,000, bringing the total annual disbursements of the Forest up to a total of about $80,000. The revenue annually derived from the sales of timber, grating fees and special uses amounts to an average of about $37,000. Of this amount, 25 goes to the road and school funds of the counties In which collected; 10 more is expended on roads and trails in the state. Tha remaining 65 goes into the general treasury of the government as miscellaneous receipts.

Legion Post Moving to Build Swimming Pool Heppner post of the American Le gion have been interested for some time in the proposition of building a swimming pool for the city, and their plans are rapidly maturing. They have bees negotiating with W. B. Barratt for suitable location of the pool on property that he owns adjoining Willow creek in the south east portion of the city, and we un derstand that other offerB have been made the post. Just where the tanks . . , , . f A determined, but the proposition of a swimming pool for Heppner la set- tied in the minds of the members of the post, and they will proceed to carry out their plans to have the tanks ready for the summer season. The plans will call for two pools, one a wading pool for the kiddies to be I'fteen feet wide and forty feet lone, and the main tank to be 40 x 50 feet, its depth graduating from 5 feet to 9 feet. The city has donated the free use of water for the filling of the pools for a period of two years, a boost that Legion boys greatly appreciate. The construction of the swimming tanks fills a long felt need in the city. A. R. Shumway, Milton, Files for Representative A. R. Shumway, prominent Milton farmer, has announced his candidacy for the republican nomination for joint representative 'from Umatilla and Morrow counties. He will run for the position held during the past two years by Alfred Smith who has refused to be a candidate again. Thus far Mr. Shumway is the only official entrant in the race though it is re ported that William Barratt of Hepp ner contemplates being a condidate. Mr. Shumway is a native son of Umatilla county and has long been prominent in farm circles, being an active worker in the farmers union and a past president of that or ganization. In recent months he has been prominent in the export com mission league and on a recent trip to Washington did some good work for the McNary-Haugen bill. Mr. Shumway has a 600 acre wheat farm near Milton and also runs cat tle. He has long .been influential in Knights of Pythias circles. In announcing his candidacy for joint representative Mr. Shumway is sued no particular platform and will merely have the words "good citizen ship" as his slogan. East Oregonian. Honors Go To Heppner High In Baseball Games Heppner high ball tossers were win ners in two games this week, one at lone and one on the home diamond against Hardman.

This Week By Arthur Brisbane Remember the Middleman Another Ice Age Goodby, Roadside Signs No Telepathy Foolish Attack on Mellon The Senate Interstate Commerce Committee votes unanimously to give farm products the lowest possible transportation rate on railroads. It's a good idea, for farmers, and good for those that eat farm products. But what about the middleman? Cut the freight rates all you please, and thst won't help the farmer If the middleman cuts the reduction in freight from the price he paya the farmer. And it won't help the consumer if a middleman adds to the cost of food what is saved in the freight rate. At the little ferry that crosses the Hudson River opposite Kingston, N. Y., farmers were unloading magnifi cent apples in barrels. The price at which the farmer sold them was about 3 for a cent. At a little stand inside the ferry house a lady with a pleasant face was selling apples not so good price 10 cents apiece. You can't do much for that situa tion until you do something about controlling middlemen. Scientists fear the approach of another Ice Age. The last one lasted 1,000 years, long enough to make human beings forget almost all they had learned. It would be hard on business, real estate and prosperity generally, if we should have two or three years of Winter, with no Summer between, and then ice gradually creeping down from the Pole, covering the continent, far South as San FranciBco, or Santa Barbara. But perhaps It wont happen, or science might handle the situation with artificial heating. Anyhow, it would not disturb old earth. She has still several hundred million years to live. We are only 12,000 from the Stone Age. It matters little to Mo ther Earth whether we become civ ilized now or forget our lore and postpone our civilization 100,000 years more. Nature is not in a hur ry. There are living animals whose evolution represents ten million years, the whale, for instance, that used to live on land and was smaller than a gray squirrel. Colonel Bryan need not believe that, if he doesn't want to. It's only what scientists say. William Ferree, war veteran, has had two-thirds of his stomach re moved and has gained thirty-five pounds in weight. He ia now able to work and enjoy life. Nature and science combined work wonders, and will, take care of us, if we give them half a chance. Many a man with his stomach whole would be better off with half of it if he learned to take care of what he had left. If men, occasionally, would throw Into a pail what they throw, half-chewed, into their stomachs, and then look at the pail, they would know why so many die too soon. With Standard Oil setting the ex ample, fifteen great corporations have agreed to discontinue roadside adver tising that disfigures landscapes. Manufacturers of tires, automobiles, soap, flour, motor parts, oil, yeasts and products are included among cor porations that wil4 discontinue dis figuring the landscape with billboard advertising. This is more than a concession to public opinion and good taste; it is also good business. Roadside adver tising is wasteful advertising. Learned Harvard gentlemen who might be more usefully employed will undertake thought transmission, or telepathy, from Harvard to Paris, across the Atlantic Ocean. It's I harmless pastime, and if the gentle men on both sides have enough imag ination they will believe that they nave accomplished something. Meanwhile it is fortunate for the human race that slowly, through the ages, men have learned with the spok en and printed word, that they can transfer thought from one brain to another satisfactorily. There never will be any such thing as telepathy on this limited planet Most foolish activity is the attack made on Mr. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury. Those that attack him should thank him for his service to the Government. No longer a young man, over worked, with gigantic interests of his own that needed his attention and that nobody else could attend to, he dropped his own business and took up the financial affairs of the Uni ted States. He did this at a time when, as everybody knows, the beat brain in the country was needed to manage United States finances. He hAs managed finances well, has made possible reduction in taxation, has cut down by hundreds of millions yenily the national debt. He is giving to the public, for the salary of a junior clerk, the service of one of the ablest business and financial minds in the United States. He should be thanked, not nagged. Christian Endeavor Breakfast and bazaar at Christian church Saturday, April 19, Come. C. L. Sweek Is County Head of Gift Campaign University f Oregon Alumni Are Helping Raise $5 ,, Find for Building Program. Calvin L. Sweek of Heppner has ac cepted the chairmanship of the Uni versity of Oregon gift campaign in Morrow county. Under his leader ship the alumnf of this district will do their share towards raising a fund of one million dollars which is to be the alumni contribution to the $5,000,- 000 five year building program re quired for the University. Alumni throughout the country are rallying to the support of the Uni versity in the gift campaign, which has been made necessary by the large ly increasing numbers of students at the University, The enrollment has grown four hundred per cent within the last ten years, and it is expected that within the next five years the number now on the campus will have doubled. Properly to care for the students enrolled In the university at present, and to give them an educa tion the equal of that provided in any university, requires practically all the University income from the mill- age, leaving but a small margin for buildings. Every nook and cranny of the University is already crowded to the limit New buildings are need ed at once, and the University must begin to make provision for more stu dents. The state is providing gener ously for general maintenance and cannot be asked to Increase its ap propriations at this time. So the University, like other state univer sities, has embarked on a gift cam paign to secure the needed buildings from those who are interested in edu cation in the state of Oregon. The buildings most urgently need ed are library and memorial court, liberal arts building, auditorium, fine arts building, science building, gym nasium. Infirmary, student union, ar mory, journalism building, law build ing, chemistry building, men s dor mitory, women's dormitory, and, in the city of Portland, a medical school building, hospital, and a building for the Extension Center. Of these the alumni have set out to provide the library, the gymnasium and athletic fields, and the memorial court in memory of the 47 University men who died during the world war. The demand for this campaign to better the University does not come from the University Itself, nor from its alumni alone. It is not born on the campus but in the state at large," said President Campbell in discuss ing the origin of the Gift Campaign. The demand comes from the homes of this state from the firesides where the boys and girls of future generations are being: carefully brought up, where the mothers and fathers are hoping and planning to give their children the best possible education as a preparation for life. They are looking to the State Univer sity to provide this education and the State University must not dis appoint them. 'We have raised our standards un til the University compares favorably with any in the country. We cannot and will not lower these standards, and thus cheat the boys and girls of Oregon out of their right to the best possible education. We are spending our income economically; our salary scale is lower than the average for state universities; our teachers are carrying more work per student than the teachers are carry ing at most of the first rate univer sities of the country; we cannot pos sibly divert any large part of our in come to building purposes and con tinue to maintain high standards. We look threfore to our alumni and friends, to the mothers and fathers of the state, to all those interested in education to help us in this effort to meet our most insistent need for buildings." Walter Cochran Gets Leg Broken in Game While making a slide for the home plate in the game of ball between lone and Boardman at lone Sunday, Walter Cochran, one of the star play era of the team, received a badly broken leg that will lay him off the game for this season, at least. Ap preciating the good playing of Mr. Cochran, the ball fans of his home town raised a purse of $140 and pre sented to him that he might be thus aided in paying of Joctor bills and other expenses incurred by his injuries. BASEBALL 1 IONE vs. HEPPNER Opening Game in the Morrow-Gilliam j County League GENTRY FIELD, 2:30 SUNDAY,APRIL13l fllM-GllllI LLEAGUE Schedule and Rules Form ed at lone Meeting Last Sunday. CLEAN BALL IS AIM Heppner, lone, Condon and Arlington Will Compete for Cup; Games Start April 13. A baseball league comprising Mor row and Gilliam counties, known aa the Morrow-Gilliam County Baseball league, was organized and rules and schedule arranged at a meeting of managers of the participating teams at lone Sunday morning. The teams taking part In the league this year are those of Heppner. lone, Condon and Arlington. It is the purpose of the league to sponsor clean, sportsmanlike ball in the two participating counties, and to make a purely local game. A sil ver loving cup will be purchased by the league and given to the team win ning the series. Each team will con tribute an equal amount for the pur chase of the cup. Condon was the only club not rep resented at the meeting, Manager Shaw of that organization having been misinformed as to the place of meeting, and came to Heppner instead of lone.

A formal draft of the constitution and by-laws has not been completed, but will be published as soon as pre pared. The measures as adopted, however, provide for a board of di rectors consisting of one business man from each town represented in the league, who will have full control of all the affairs of the league. Bert Mason, manager of the lone club, who was elected president of the league Sunday, will act as chairman of the board of directors but will be entitled to a vote only in case of a tie. Other provisions contained in the rules provide that each club put up a guarantee of good faith in the am ount of $100, which money will be forfeited to the club when, in the opinion of the directors, any club has not lived up to its agreements; that no club shall have more than two salaried players; that any player who does not conduct himself in a sportsmanlike manner during any game, shall be subject to a fine of not more than $10, or suspension from that game, at the discretion of the umpire. Several other measures re garding the shape of grounds and handling of spectators, have also been embodied in the laws of the organiza tion.
