HEPPNER TAKES 3
IT-I
Pitching his third shut-out game
in a row, ball tosser Keough set down
the Arlington club Sunday, 2-0, at
Rodeo field. That Keough has gained
an enviable reputation in this neck o
the woods is not to be denied when a
majoriy of the batters facing him this
season admit he is the toughest of
the lot. He struck out 12 batsmen
Sunday and allowed but three hits.
However, Keough's good heaving
was but the expected and therefore
not the outstanding feature. The real
feature was the pitching on the side
of the opposition that done by Toots
Montague. Toots has been a bit off
his feed for a couple of years and con
sequently has not been heaving the
brand of ball he did a few years back
when he broke into the smei-pro class.
Sunday he looked like his old self
again, and had the locals whiffing the
air proper. He struck out 14 Heppner
bat swingers and allowed but 7 hits.
Only one hit off Montague was re
sponsible for a run at that, the others
being scattered so as not to count or.
the tally sheet. Hill's single in the
seventh after Hoskins gained first
base on guardian Wheelhouse's error,
was the responsible hit. Both run
ners scored on Keough's two bagger
after being advanced by Alien's
grounder. That's all there was to the
scoring.
Arlington threatened but once
that was when Gay Anderson, back on
the job after three weeks' vacation,
made a hero of himself. Mathews was
on second and Wheelhouse was on
first with two gone when Parrish came
up with blood in his eye. That was in
the fourth canto. Parrish hit a hot
single out into Gay's territory in mid
field. Mathews had a good lead off
second and rounded third just as Gay
picked up the pellet. A perfect peg
by Fielder Anderson enabled Catcher
Hoskins to nab Mr. Mathews a clean
four feet off home plate and the threat
was ended.
Heppner will go by this week, the
game announced with the Union Pa
cific team being cancelled by the lat
ter. The following Sunday, however,
if nothing unforseen happens, fans
will have a real treat when the fast
Montavilla nine from Portland plays
here.
Report Good Sessions of
Epworth League Institute
Rev. E. C. Alford, returning the
end of the week from Suttles Lake,
reports that this summer's sessions
of the Epworth League Institute were
perhaps the best yet held, owing to
better conditions prevailing in the
way of improvements to roads lead
irg to the lake, and the repairs made
to the grounds. This was accom
plished the week previous to the open
ing of the session, and Mr. Alford
states that another year 'will show
still more betterments of this nature,
as the site for the new auditorium
wbs selected and cleared, and when
this is completed there will be am
ple provision for taking care of the
sessions of the isntitute. He was
much pleased with the progress made
by the juniors. Concerning the in
stitute, we have the following from
Madras Pioneer:
The institute just completed at the
Jefferson county resort was said by
those attending to be one of the most
successful of all gatherings of the
kind held in Oregon. The location of
the site is counted as one of the big
gest assets, since those attending go
with the idea of staying tho entire
time, and making tho trip a real out
iig, instead of going in and out for
the day.
The largest attendance in the his
t: ry of the institute this year marks
a healthy growth in this organisa
tion. More than one hundred were
logistered as regular attendants.
The following officers were elected
for tho coming year and will direct
the destinies of the organization the
cr.ming summer: President, Paul
Reynolds from Bend: Secretary, Viv
iun Rasmusen from Bend; Treasurer,
Loib Morris from Fossil; Publicity
Manager, E. W. Mason from Madras.
.1. L. Gibson, who held the office of
president the past year was chosen
for general manager th coming year.
Mr. Gibson will have charge of the
institute affairs during the week it is
in session.
It is planned to make from year to
year improvements on the grounds
nr.d equipment as can be made with
out working a hardship on the mem
bers of the various leagues. It is
proposed the coming year to build a
dining room, and install a 1000-gallon
tank, in order that the water, which
has been piped from the well on Lake
creek, may be available for sprinkling
as well as domestic purposes.
The mess, which was handled by
Madras this year, and under direct
charge of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ellis,
will be in charge of Bend the coming
year,
FINAL QUARTERLY MEETING.
On Wednesday evening of next
week, Aug. 18, will occur the last
'luarterly meeting of the conference
year of the Methodist church, Dr.
Hisey, the district superintendent,
will be present. An invitation is ex
tended to all the friends of the
church to attend the lawn social to
be given on the lawn of the church
at 8 o'clock of that evening. A "Pit
Luck" supper will be enjoyed togeth
cr at 7 o'clock. Each bring prepared
lunch for general spread. Dr. Hisey
will speak at the table. A volleyball
game on the court will be a feature
of the evening. The business meeting
will be held at 8 o'clock.

Famous Stage Coach
At De Moss Springs
Housed in a little building erected
for the purpose by the commissioners
of the De Moss Springs, Ore., county
park, is to be seen one of the his
toric relics of America. It is known
as the "Hank Monk" Concord stage.
This vehicle was built in Concord,
Mass., in 1852. It was shipped around
the "Horn" to be upholstered in San
Francisco by Kimball Brothers.
The noted route which the stage
covered for years, was from Carson
City, Nevada, to Sacramento, Calif.,
on which route Hank Monk as a stage
driver held unrivaled sway. For a
time it was run from Redding to Lake
Tahoe. It was while on this run that
General Grant, and Prince Alexander
(later czar) of Russia were honorable
passengers. Horace Greely also is on
the list of its occupants.
It has been the property of the no
ted De Moss family for thirty years.
They made purchase of it at Carson
City, Nevada, for $150. They used it
in carrying their entire equipment on
a number of their musical tours. They
still hold the ownership, and contem
plate loaning it to some worthy cus
todian. It has been suggested that
the Oregon Historical Society have
itts care. It would seem that the
state of Nevada would have a superior
claim, and she has made unsuccess-
tul proffers for it.
The entire upholstering is of leath
er,. The boot on the rear is of very
heavy leather. It has not been paint
ed since the yeurs of its heavy serv
ice, but the wood is well preserved.
The tires are tight, though they have
not been reset since on its noted run.
They are pretty well worn.
This stage antidates a like one that
ih preserved in the Washington Mu
seum. It is truly a historic relic, and
t is noped that it may be deDosited
in a place of greater safety, and where
it may have a far wider display.
De Moss Springs is on the Sherman-
Shaniko highway, just below Moro.
It may be reached in a minute from
the highway, and is well worth the
stopping to see it. It-is in the first
tuilding inside the foot entrance to
the picnic grounds.
E. C. ALFORD.

ir an opportunity here for much de
velopment. They would like to see
!he timber belt adjacent to this citv
brought into use by the building of a

FORD CAR IS STOLEN.
The Ford coupe of J?red Hoskins
who lives on the Adkins place on Rhea
creek, was stolen Sunday night. Thu
sheriff's office at Heppner was noti
fied and circulars were immediately
"f-nt out properly describing the rar.
Word was received yesterday morning
by the sheriff's office here that the
coupe had been recoverd at Salem, but
nothing was said about the capture of
the party getting away with it. It is
presumed that the car was abandoned
by the theif at Salem, where officers

Later word, however is to the ef
fect that a party giviRg the name of

ROAD IMPROVED
INTO THE JONES
PRAIRIE SECTION
Good Timber for Poles, Posts and
Wood Made Available by New
Arbuckle Mountain Road.
We are informed by County Road
Master McCaleb that the forest serv
ice has now completed the road
around Arbuckle mountain and lead
ing into the Jones prairie section, and
it will henceforth be much easier to
get in and out. The new road, which
takes off at near the Duran cabin, is
built on a very easy grade, not ex
ceeding 6 and the heavy pulls of
the old road up over the mountain
have been eliminated.
This road improvement makes it
easy to get to the pole and timber belt
n Jones prairie, and those who have
heretofore been in the habit of getting
'heir supply of wood from this local
ity will certainly be pleased to know
of this improvement. The section
contains a lot of dead timber that
should be utilized, and farmers and
rtnehers are urged to take advantage
cf the opportunity. It is well to re
l ember, however, that permits should
be secured from the forest service for
taking any of the timber. These will
be gladly furnished by the forest
r.mgers in charge of the stations at
Tupper and Ellis. Make use of these;
he more permits issued for this pur
rose the faster road improvements
will follow is the opinion of the road
master, and he urges that the rules
of the forest service be complied with.
This new peice of road is called Bu
zer's Drive, and is another link in
the Heppner-Ukiah skyline highway.
GIRL RESERVES IN CAMP.
The Heppner troop of Girl Reserves
in charge of Miss Helen Frederickson
and Mrs. W. J. Beymer and assisted
By Miss fcsther Fredrickson of Stan
fit id, are encamped in the mountains
this week, where they are enjoying
the outdoor life to the full. The camp
in at the Bob Thompson sheep ranch,
well over on the breaks of Ditch
creek. There is an abundance of good
water there and the surroundings are
ideal. The troop is represented by
13 members and the entire party
makes a total of 18. Frank Turner
took them up in his truck Saturday,
and t! cy expect to return home this
coming Sunday, when Charley Swin
dig will go after them.
PREPARING FOR INSTITUTE.
Mrs. Helen M. Walker, county su
perintendent of schools, is making
preparations for the holding of the
county teachers' institute, which will
be during the second week of Sep
tember much earlier than is usual.
The program is now being prepared
and will contain much of interest.
Good instructors will be here from
the State Normal, ,U. of O. and O. A.
C. and there will be much of value
presented to the teachers just at the
beginning of the school year that will
help them along with their work. The
programs will be issued soon.
NEW MINISTER HERE TODAY.
Rev. Stanley Moore, newly chosen
rector of All Saints Episcopal church
of Heppner, with his wife, will arrive
here today. Mr. Moore and wife will
be domiciled in the Shurte residence
on Gale street, which the members
of the church have put in readiness
for them. The new pastor is a young
man that comes to Heppner from the
etst, and it is understood that this
is his first pastorate. The church is
to be congratulated upon the locating
of a permanent pastor.

Forest Service Puts
Out Game Estimates
Game animals are still fairly plen
tiful on the twenty-two national for
ests of Oregon and Washington, ac
cording to forest rangers' estimates
compiled for 1925 by the forest serv
ice. In making public the figures the
forest service stresses the fact that
these figures are only estimates, made,
however, by the men on the ground
who should have the best opportunity
of knowing local game conditions.
According to the statement there
are about 59,000 head of deer in the
fourteen national forests of Oregon,
and over 22,500 in the eight national
forests of Washington; a total of ap
proximately 81,600 for the two states.
Elk rank second with over 12,000
head, 8.500 being credited to the na
tional forests of Washington and 3,500
to the national forests of Oregon,
Next come black bear, with 5,600 for
Oregon and 5,700 for Washington, or
a total of 11,300 for the national for
ests of the two states. The report
snows Z,000 mountain goats in Wash
ington, but none in Oregon. Some 80
mountain sheep are listed about equal
!y divided between the two states.
About 30 antelope are given for Ore-
on; while 50 caribou and 15 grizzly
Dears are reported on the national
forests of Washington. These figures
relate only to the naional forest areas
of some 25 million acres in the two
states.
The summarized estimates for all
the national forests of the United
States show: deer, 605,900; elk, 72,
000; antelope, 7,500; black or brown
bear, 46,200; grizzly bear, 6,600; cari
bou, 140; moose, 6,000; mountain
goats, 17,000; mountain sheep, 12,000.
While game and wild life is a re
source of the forest, according to the
statement, it is subject to state laws.
Forest Tangcrs are appointed deputy
game wardens and assist in the en
forcement of the state game laws, so
tar as their regular duties will allow.
In this, as in all other forest re
sources, the forest service seeks to
encourage wise use without undue
.'estruction, it is said.
Edward Chinn and family, accom
panied by Miss Anna Stender, depart
ed for Portland the middle of last
week, spending several days in the
city. They returned home yesterday.

The world will watch with interest
this battle between the Mexican Gov

first of its kind in many years.
The cessation of all religious serv
ices in Mexico will undoubtedly
cause turmoil and distress among all
classes. Mexican Indiana especially
will resent being deprived of services
which they believe essential to their
spiritual welfare. The Christian re
ligion was forced upon them original
ly by Spanish conquerors, and much
bloodshed in many cases accompanied
the process.
But the Indians are now devont

faith than people of European extrac

Mrs. Clemmington Carson, of New
York, swam from Dover to Ramsgate,
in the rough Channel water, twenty
two miles in 6 hours and 20 minutes.
It was a fine performance, but a ?75.00
put-put boat would do better.
Nancy Hanks, a powerful woman,
might have beaten Mrs. Carson's rec
ord. Instead she contributed Abra
ham Lincoln to write the Proclama
tion, and that was more useful than
it would have been for her to swim
from Paris down the Seine, past Gi
braltar into the Mediterranean, thru
the Suet Canal and on to China.
THE WHIPPET IS HERE.
The much heralded, sensational new
product of the Overland Motor com
pany, styled the Whippet, has come
to Heppner. A European type car,
the Overland people call it but wheth
er European or what-not, it is a beau
tiful automobile. It is small, yes, but
roomy, and has an efficient and com
pact little engine. Paul Gemmell of
the Cohn Auto company, who went to
Bend this week after the Whippet
coach, now on display by the com
pany, says the little Whippet will do
55 miles an hour with power to spare
Many Heppnerites have been taking
turns at the wheel of the car since its
arrival here.
