Take Second Place in
League With One
Battle Lost.
SUNDAY'S SCORE 6-4
Robert! Pitch. Good Ball With IS
Strlke-outa; Grouping of Hits
Responsible for Tallies.
Heppner's baseball tossere won
their first game thia season at Ar
lington Sunday afternoon. The game
wai looaely played, though there ware
enough good playa thrown in to keep
the spectatora interested. Heppner
acored one tally In the first inning
and Arlington one in the second.
Things were then nip and tuck until
tha fifth, when the river boys acored
two more,' and led Heppner till the
seventh inning, whew Heppner got
four men across home plate, thereby
gaining a safe lead. Tha locals got
one run in the sixth, and Arlington
one in the aeventh inning, making
tha final score 6-4.
Fred Roberts, local twirler, was
largely responsible for Heppner's vic
tory, pitching the team out of sever
al holes and fanning 16 batters in
all. Fred was a bit wild Sunday,
however, and walked five men besides
hitting three. Heppner waa also for
tunate in grouping her hita to make
them count, and assisted by Arlington
errors, was able to acore a good per
centage of runnera.
Tha fielding of Gay Anderson, vet
eran center fielder for the locals, was
undoubtedly the prettiest part of the
game. - Gay cut off two hita by pull
ing down a couple of tough fly balls,
and again by grabbing one on the
bounce and making a perfect peg to
aecond was responsibla for catching
the runner off first base. Anderson
was also high tally gainer, crossing
home plate three timea. He and Con
nelly, shortstop, tied for batting hon
ors, each knocking a two-bagger and
two singles,
"Dutch" McPherrin caught for
Heppner Sunday, and did a nice job
of it. Another new man in the in
field lineup waa Ralph Moore, high
school player, who held down the
aecond aack like a veteran. Connel
ly'a pretty fielding and sure pegging
from -the short position helped put
confidence into the infield bunch, as
well as booat the Heppner stock quite
a degree.
Paul Aiken, who played second the
first two games this season, was out
of tha game Sunday because of ill
ness. He is reported confined to his
bed, and may not be able to be with
tha team again for aoma time. His
presence in the lineup is missed, as
he waa showing promise of being one
of the best playera Heppner had.
Heppner will journey to Condon
next Sunday where they will play off
the knot for aecond place honors in
tha Morrow-Gilliam County league,
with the Gilliam county boys. Both
teams have won and lost one game,
and thla battle should ba a hot one.
Tha local boys believe they are going
to clean up on Condon,

Mr. Barratt Favors
A Strong Quarantine
Morrow County Sheepman Believe
Hoof and Mouth Disease Here
Would Destroy Industry.
W. B. Barratt of this city, who for
yean hat been a leading stockman
of this countv. waa quoted in Wed
nesday'a Oregon Ian In the "Those
Who Come and Go" Column as fol
lows: "Oregon must fight the hoof and
mouth disease and take every pre
caution, no matter how California
pleads for concessions. If the epi
demic spreads into Oregon then it
will wipe out the stock industry in
this state. No precauton can be con
sidered too drastic to save Oregon,"
says W. B. Barratt of Heppner, Or.,
prominent sheepman and former
member of the state highway com
mission. "I do not believe in sending
sympathetic committees to Califor
nia. It is a job for the veterinarians.
I'm telling you that if the disease
enters Oregon it will be the last
straw to the cattle industry here, for
it will be impossible to combat it.
Think what would happen if it got
into the summer range in the Blue
mountains. There are about 300,000
sheep range in the Blue mountains
nd about 50,000 head of cattle. It
would be out of the question to quar
antine the animals, for they mix
around and the result would be that
every sheep and every head of cattle
would have to be killed. The Blue
mountains are only one summer
range, but I cite it as a sample of
the devastation which would occur
if Oregon lets down the bars or takes
a sympathetic attitude. Furthermore,
if the disease gets into this state
Oregon will promptly be given the
blame of starting it and even Califor
nians will try to shoulder the ill re
pute on Oregon." Mr. Barratt reports
a wonderful lambing sea b on. He
lambed 2400 ewes, getting more than
100 per cent increase. Out of one
flock of 800 ewes he had 200 sets of
twins and three ewes had triplets.
Mr. Barratt is a candidate for the
republican nomination for represent
ative of the joint district of Morrow
and Umatilla counties, and with his
knowledge of the stock and agricul
tural industries and of highway mat
ters should be a valuable member if
elected.
'Nothing But the Truth,'
Senior Play to Be May 7
Tha Senior play, "Nothnig But the
Truth," will be presented on May 7
at the Star theater.
Nothing But the Truth" is a three
act comedy by James Montgomery
dealing with a very unusual situation.
Bob Bennett is given $10,000 by his
fiancee, Gwendolyn Ralston. She
wishes him to invest thia money for
her and double it by the end of the
week. He agrees to do it. However,
it is not easy to double money so
quickly even if one is an authority
on stocks and the partner of the best
stock salesman on wall Street. Con
sequently he accepts the only proposi
tion ha can think of whereby It can
be done. He bets the $10,000 with Mr.
Ralston, Gwen's .father. The propo
sition is that Bob shall tell the ab
solute truth for a whole day. Other
wise ha must forfeit the money. Mr.
Ralston takes Bob out to his home
so ha may better see that he tells
a lie. Here Bob gets himself and the
family into all kinds of trouble by
telling tha absolute truth to every
one, even the traffic cop.
Mabel and Sabel Jackson, two ul
tra-refined vaudeville actresses, near
ly decapitate Mr. Ralston, and involve
him in terrible difficulties with his
wife.
But as soon as Bob's twenty-four
hours of truth-telling have elapsed,
he straightens all matters out and
proves himself the hero of an unpre
cedented aituation by telling a set of
very dexterous Ilea.
Don't miss it, at the Star theater,

BETHEL CHAPEL NOTES.
Why ba lonesome? Join Bethel
family something doing all the time.
Sunday school for everybody; ladies'
auxiliary; missionary; Wednesday
evening Bible study; class pnrties
and dinners. And now a ladies' hik
ing club. Don't ba lonesome.
Those members of Bethel who were
unable to attend the party given by
Mr. and Mrs. Chinn missed a mighty
good time.
The annual Easter party was given
by the primary department tcachors
to the primary children and their
parents last Saturday afternoon In
the chapel. A short program was
given In which Mrs. Phelps, the su
perintendent, quoted General Persh
ing in emphasizing tho large place
the Sunday school fills. Daniel Chinn
entertained all present, especially the
children, by singing In Chinese. The
guests were entertained by games In
one room while tables were made
ready In adjoining rooms for refresh
menta. The tables looked most In
vitlng with their pretty decorations
of candy chickens, flowers and ice
cronm with wafers and coffee. Finally
the children were asked to play "fol
low the leader" with Mrs. Earl Gil
liam and Mrs. Chaa. Cox leading them
to a neighboring yard where the
search for Lastor candy eggs begnn
and ended with rich rownrds for the
little guests.
The Easter exercises Sunday morn
ing were well given by various class
es which combined to put on the pro
gram consisting of three short plays,
Danlol Chinn pleased the audience
by singing "Proeious Jewels" In
vory sweet, clear voice. Mnny wore
disappointed when they learned that
Mrs. Chinn was unable to render her
solo, on account of a cold. She will
sing at the missionary meeting in the
chapel next Tuesday afternoon,

afternoon, lone took their opponents
to a cleaning to the tune of 8-1.
thereby winning Arat place in the
newly organized Morrow-Gilliam
County league. Each team In the
league has now played two games and
lone fa the only one with a clean
record of wins. Heppner and Condon
have each lost a game to the Egg City
boys, while both have won over Ar
lington, The feature of Sunday'a game was
the nearly perfect fielding of the lone
players. Only two errors were mark
ed up against them in the nine in
nings. This added to their ability to
place their hits gave them the big
edge shown by the acore book.
Misfortune struck the Egg City
nine for the second time this season
when Werner Reitmann, atar third
baseman, had the end of the large
finger of his right hand mashed off
at the first joint by a pump Jack,
Monday morning, thereby putting him
out of the game for the remainder
of the season. Manager Mason an
nounces that Bristow, third baseman
on the high school team, will replace
Reitmann, Roche, Thornton or Ely,
another high school boy, will take
Bristow's place in right field.
This accident added to that of Wal
ter Cochran, a broken leg received
when he slid into home plate in a
game with Boardman two weeks ago,
wnicn put mm out for the season, is
a serious blow to the Egg City team.
Both Cochran and Reitmann were
consistent point gainers for their ag
gregation. Condon's and lone'a batting record

Horses Perish in Fire
On Jas. Carty Ranch
The big barn on the James Carty
place at Tub Springs waa totally de
stroyed by fire 'late on Wedneaday
afternoon Af laat week, and with the
consuming of the structure by the
flamea some aeven or eight bead of
good work horses perished. The barn
was also well filled with hay and oth
er feed, and practically the entire
outfit of barnesa for the ranch went
up in the flamea.
The origin of the fire la not defin
itely known, so Mr. Carty stated,
when in town on Saturday, but he is
of the opinion that it originated
from the throwing down of a lighted
match or a cigarette stub. A hired
man had just come in 'from the field
and put away the horses, going to
the house preparatory to the evening
meal. Shortly after this the barn
was discovered to be on fire and the
flames spread ao rapidly that there
was no chance to get the horses out.
A stiff wind was blowing and it re-
quired a very few moments to envelop
the entire structure. Nothing eould
be done but prevent the flames from
spreading to other buildings and the
residence. The wind was blowing In
the right direction and the spread of
the fire was prevented by hard work.
Mr. Carty states that he does not
mind the loss of the barn so much,
but he was distressed over the fate
that befell his good work animals and
that nothing could be done to save
them from perishing in this horrible
manner.
District 28 Is Planning
A New School House
Messrs. Earl Morgan and J. A. Tro
edson, acting as a committee on be
half of the patrons of School District
No. 28, north of Morgan, were in
Heppner the first of the week looking
up plans pertaining to the building
of a new achool for their district.
They were getting estimates on dif
ferent kinds of construction, and
they may decide to build of hollow
tile with concrete foundation, though
the committee will take plenty of
time to deliberate and have their
plans of building and cost of con
struction well - worked out before
making a report later to the people
of the district.
It has been felt for a number of
years that the old building in the dis
trict needed to be replaced by a bet
ter one, but the necessary move in
that direction has been slow in shap
ing up. These gentlemen feel now
that the district will soon have a
new, neat and convenient structure,
and one that the children will be
proud to attend achool in, and it will
ba large enough to accommodate the
community gatherings aa well.

Conditions Do Not Favor
Speculation and Lower
Prices Indicated.
(Wednesday's Oregonian.)
The wool market in this section
remains quiet at a time of year when
in previous seasons the dealers were
anxioas to stimulate supplies. There
is nothing in the general situation
now to promote speculative buying,
though the trade would probably take
on wool around 35 centB for good
average if growers would consider
such a price. Buyers are hoping
the lightweight season will open with
promise, but have nothing to base
their hopes on except the fact that
there have been two unsuccessful
openings and the third should be
more favorable. Some of the Oregon
growers have declared their willing
ness to accept the market when the
wool comes off, but on the whole it
looks like a slow and dragging season.
The government daily bulletin on
Boston market conditions follows:
"Although the wool market is quiet,
sales in various amounts are being
consummated daily. The mills in some
instances seem to be shopping for
lots that may be available slightly
below the market. Although trading
recently has shown some recession in
many instances, lots of wool s!bo has
moved at very firm prices. Pulled
wool has shown some activity."
Stocks of wool held by the British
Australian Wool Realization associa
tion on March 1 amounted to only
77,501 bales as compared with 209,559
bales on December 31, 1923, Bays E.
A. Foley, the American agricultural
commissioner at London. Of this
quantity 60,000 bales were Australian
and 17,000 bales New Zealand. One
half of the Australian wool and the
whole of the New Zealand belongs to
the British government. The other
half of the Australian wool belongs
to the British Australian Wool Reali
zation association.
Locally no wool is being offered,
and just when the market will open
here is problematical, as the growers
and buyers are unable to get together,
and the prospects are there will be
little competition. No sales have yet
been made of the new clip, so far as
we have been able to learn.

Cross and other organizations and
forty were women who served aa nur
ses, reconstruction aides, canteen
workers and officers of the Y. M. C.
A, Y. W. C. A. and other war time
service organizations.
Forty-eight faculty members were
in service including many who occu
pied important positiona in Washing
ton, D. C, in the development of the
complex organization of the new ar
my. Fifteen University of Oregon men

extraordinary bravery in action. They
were honored with the Croix de

MC NARY EXPORT
BILL ISiDIFi
House Committee Makes
Change; Report Ex
pected Soon.
NEW DRAFT BETTER
Main Difference In Wording Only,
Saya Oregon Senator; Not As
sociated With Voift Act.
According to a Washington dis
patch Tuesday, material modification
of the tariff provisions of the Me-Nary-Haugen
agricultural export bill
was agreed upon by the bona agri
cultural committee.
A substitute was provided which
would rive the president authority
to declare embargoes on any agricul
tural product or to increase tariff
duties when Importations result iu
loss to the corporation to be created
for tbe marketing abroad of surplus
farm products.
The substitute In the opinion of
committee members provides a more
simple and effective method of tariff
adjustment than that proposed orig
inally in the bill, which would have
empowered the secretary of agricul
ture to determine what ehangea
should be made in tariff rates on
farm products and would have au
thorized the president to put these
changes into effect.
The agricultural committee has
nearly completed revision of the bill
and members predicted the measure
probably would be reported before
the end of the week.
Senator McNary, republican. Ore-
gon, said today the new bill which
he will introduce as a substitute
for the McNary-Haugen bill has no
connection with the Voigt measure
introduced in the house. He declared
hia new bill would only alter in mi
nor details the original measure and
that the main difference was a change
in language.
The house agricultural committee
had on Monday agreed to the substi
tute for the Rubey amendment to this
bill which would have eliminated the
script provision. The agreement was
unanimous.
The substitute would leave deter
mination of a method of collecting an
equalization fee from farmers to the
discretion of the export corporation,
which would be set up under the bill
to market surplus farm products
abroad.
Committee members said the sub
stitute would permit use of script,
or a requirement that farmers be
paid entirely in cash for their com
modities. Farmer C. L. Smith
Dies At Portland
C. L. (Farmer) Smith, agriculturist
for the O.-W. RAN. railroad for the
last twenty years, closely associated
with the development of agriculture
m the Pacific Northwest, died at
6:40 a. m., Monday, at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Fred N. CUne,
with whom he made his home in
Portland. Death resulted from an
attack of pneumonia complicated with
heart weakness.
Mr. Smith was 79 years of age, and
for long years had been a very busy
man in his chosen field of labor. He
was well known in Morrow county
and all parts of Eastern Oregon, hav
ing visited this county many times
in the course of his work with agri
culturists, and for a season or two
conducting experiments near Lexing
ton and at Irrigon. He was a great
factor in building up diversified farm
ing in this state as well as aiding in
a very large measure in improving
the general agricultural conditions
over the entire state. He took a gen
uine interest in the farmers' prob
lems and seldom overlooked any meet
ing of importance where the ques
tions of the agriculturists were being
discussed. The introduction of corn
growing and the establishment of the
silo were two things Mr. Smith put
over in Oregon that will stand as
an everlasting, monument to his
credit.
H. B. Money, representing the Har
ris Combine company of Walla Walla,
was a visitor in this city on Wednes
day, accompanied by Karl I. Beach
of Lexington, Harris man for Morrow
county. Mr. Money has been in the
county during the week and travel
ing about with Mr. Beach, looking
up prospective buyers for his combine
harvester. He states that while the
grain conditions in the Walla Walla
(country were never much better than
tins season, yet it has been very cold
the past couple of weeks, high winds
have prevailed and while at Pomeroy
last Friday he experienced one of the
worst wind and dust storms that he
had ever seen and the wind was cold
and cutting.
