A large crowd from Heppner, Lexington and the country were in attendance and were treated to a good afternoon sport. The game was played in the usual friendly contest that is always shown between Condon and lone and the umpireing of VanMarter and Blake was ap proved by the fans. While Roche was obliged to pitch the game with a lame arm, he showed his old time skill by striking out 11 Condon batters, getting 3 strike-outs against "the Arlington wan horse, big Bill Josephson." Clow of Condon was not so fortunate, having but 5 strike-outs. lone batters pound ed the ball with ease but met strong opposition in Condon field ders, Roche and Lewis each mak ing long drives, only to be caught out by exceptional fielding Boardman comes to lone next Sunday and think they can repeat the trick they played at Board man last year. We have the best balanced team that lone has ever put out and with the reserve players on hand, will be able to entertain the fans with some real games.

After this, the lone Rebekah That the county unit school nieas- uro la not acceptable to the voters of tills community whs evident Tuesday evening when, ul'V'r hearing an ex planation or the measure given by 11. B. Kicharda, the taxpayers and cit izens who attended the mass meeting voted unnnimoualy to adopt resolu tions setting tortli their opposition to the proposed plan. The city hull was well filled with citizens of Koho and the adjoining districts, and a del egation enme from Hermlslon to heur the speaking. 13. H. Rlehard3, of Athenn, opened the meeting with an address explain ing the features of the county unit meusure and how Its application to Umatilla county would affect (ho schools nnd school patrons. He stressed the point that the proposed law would mean a gift to the county at large of all school property, and in addition to this It would mean n grant of all authority and control of theschool to one man. He demon strated that the proposed board of five directors could nut possibly function to supervise the schools of this whole county, and the result would be that the county superinten dent would control the educational system. The claim made by Mr. Green that he could conduct the school system under the unit plan at a saving to taxpayers was disputed by the speak er, who showed conclusively that the proposed plan would necessitate greatly Increased expenditures. Mr. Richards Insisted that the county unit plan U unfair and unAmerlcan In that It makes it possible to take from the pooplonll their school prop erty and control of srhools ngatiiHt their wishes, and to place the educa tional system under absolute control of one man, from whose decisions, no matter how arbitrary or unjust, there is nd appeal. A few remarks were made by J. T. Lieunllen on the methods used In getting signature? to the petition for putting the measures on the ballot. A check of the signers showed that a majority of them pay no taxes In the county, and that more than half of The inten- sinner llvo In Milton, a city thut will not ue anecyu oy me proposed nieiuuro. After the speaking u resolution expressing opposition to the county unit was presented and adopted, re ceiving the vote of every one In the hall. Following Is the resolution: He It Uesolved by the citizen and taxpayers ot School District No. 5, at Echo, I'nintilla County. Oregon. In mass meeting assembled this Iftth dav of March. 11124: That we arn opposed to the coun'y unit plan of supervision and admin istration or our school for tln fol lowing reasons: That it takes the power to govern our schools out of the hands of the people and place It in the hand.-i of ope man who can not know the local needs, and who way favor on" dis trict to the disadvantage of another. That the judgement of three rep res "ntutlve men of the community us are now found on our school hoards. Is bettz-r, even In educational mat ters, than that of a brainier who l not familiar with conditions: and therefore the nnthorltv of the local school boards should be maintained. That It will Increase taxes unless wholesale consolidations are made, and that such consolidations without the consent of those concerned Is un just. That when peopln have nothing to say about how their tax monev Is spent they lose Interest In the thing' for which It Is spent, and that a lack of co-operation between parent and school will prevail. And, most of all, I tls unfair, un just and undemocratic, for districts of the first class to h'ive to vote on this measure, when they are not af fected by the law that does nfferl till second and third clasj districts.
