The boys are anxious for the
playing season to come, and last
Sunday's favorable weather was
too much for the old timers, and
Eubanks, Roche, Dutch Werner
and Vic with several newcomers,
were out on the diamond limber
ing their base ball arms, and on
each favorable Sunday hereafter,
will find them preparing for the
opening day.
Walt Cochran will be on hand
to join the teanj. Arch Cochran
and Edmund Bristow of last years
squad are on hand and there are
several new men who are want
ing to try out for places, so tl at
present indications are that we
will have as good a team as lone
has ever put out.
Fire at Lexington
The Burgoyne flouring mill at
Lexington was the scene of a fire
last Thursday afternoon, the blaze
starting from a hot box while the
mill was in operation. For a time
it was feared the entire structure
would be destroyed, but the new
chemical extinguisher recently
installed by the town council,
proved adequate and the blaze
was put out with damages esti
mated at less than ilOO.-Heppner

DON'T NEGLECT YOUR
Endeavoring To Create More
Taxes Upon The Farmer
Through the efforts of Morrow
county superintendent, an insti
tute or gathering of the school
teachers of this county, is sched
uled to convene at lone this Sat
urday to talk over a school unit
scheme proposition. In other
words, make five school units in
the county.
As we have been reliably in
formed, this would have a ten
dency to relieve taxation of other
school districts, and the indebted
school districts would be taken
care of thru consolidation;
This would be a bonanza stunt
to pull off for Heppner, Hardman
and Lexington which are heavily
in debt..
This measure is being fathered
by our county superintendent, we
are told, and right thinking citi
zens can readily see thru the
game for higher taxation.
The farmer nor the city prop
erty owner do not want any
more taxes, but they do want the
taxes to gradually decrease, and
this bunk proposition of our il
lustrious county superintendent
will meet with disfavor bv the
taxpaying public. So, perish the
thought.

Lively Council Meeting
A real live bunch of citizens
met with the city council Wed
nesday night. They were there
expecting that something was
going to be pulled off, and in this
they were not dissnpointed. Or
dinance No. 109, relating to the
closing of pasttimes at 12 o'clock
midnight, was read, and before
voting upon the measure. Mayor
Mason explained why the drastic
action was taken in protests that
are raised and the responsibilities
of the city council. It was passed
by a vote of 3 to 2.
Every little petty infraction of
the law is carried direct to me,
stated the Mayor, and citizens
hold me responsible. He asked
that the marshal members of the
council help in relieving the dis
satisfaction that prevails.
At the next regular meeting of
the council on Tuesday evening,
March 4th, the council will pass
an ordinance relating to the cur
few law which will embody very
strict rules, among which will
cause the parents tc issue a pass
for her son or daughter to be out
after a certain hour.
It was also ordered that surety
bonds in the sum of $5000 be pur
chased for the city treasurer.
Second street is to be graveled
in the middle of the road, and
the street committee was asked
to ascertain what financial hel'I
could be secured from property
owners along said street.
Yes, it was a good met ting, vet
some dissatisfaction prevailed.
The city fathers were composed
and serene throughout the meet
ing, and what tainted atmosphere
there was, was gently wafted
through the open window.
