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.

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

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

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.

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.

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."

forfeited to the club when, in the
opinion of the directors, any club
has not lived up to its agreements;

two salaried players; that any player
