In addition to thete there will be
a considerable expenditure on the re
pair of lookout towers and other pro

tures are for the better protection
and administration of the Umatilla
National Forest.
Forest officials are grateful for the
splendid cooperation received at the
hands of the public In fighting and
keeping down forest fires the past
season. The fire menace is one of the
hard things they have to deal with
in the forest area, and it is hoped
that even greater precaution and care
will be exercised thiB season by those
who visit the national forests than
has been heretofore manifested, that
through this cooperation the fires will
be kept down to the very lowest pos
sible point.
Local Girl Has Part
In University Fight
University of Oregon, Eugene, Apr.
20. (Special.) The hottest fight that
has shaken the student body for many
years was under way today with Sol
Abrnmson, of Portland, editor of the
Oregon Daily Emerald, conducting a
spirited battle for freedom of the
press.
An amendment to put control of
the Emerald's editorial policies in the
hands of the publications committee
win drafted by leading members of
the student council which started the
campaign against the Emerald. Ac
cording to the Emerald, the amend
ment, which Abramson has branded
us the "gag rule," was framed by
Lowell Baker, of Stanfield, Thomas
Graham, of Ook Grove, Phil Bergh,
of Roseburg, Ted Larsen, of Eugene,
Mary Clark, of Heppner, and Glenna
Fisher, of Portland.
Each day the Emerald is printing
two column endorsements of its stand
on the first page. The communica
tion columns are filled with letters
from studcntB for and against the
amendment.
Hugh Biggs, of Ontario, student
body president, who is supporting the
amendment, declares that it is only
wise and just to put the editorial
policies in the hands of a committee
which, more truly than the editor,
represents student public opinion.
Abvamson contends that a self
respecting newspaper cannot be con
ducted when it is subject to censor
ship and that his policies have rep
resented the student body as closely
as those of the student council.
In point of interest the free press
controversy is overshadowing the stu
dent elections, and will be decided
in two weeks.
Former Heppner Resident
Dies at Portland Home
Dillyn P. Garrigues, who for many
years resided at Heppner, and was
well known in this city, died at his
home in Portland on Friday, April
22, at the age of 71 years. Funeral
services were held in that city on
Monday, April 25, at 2 p. m., and in

GOLF COURSE IMPROVED.
This week the greens on. the golf
course of the Heppner Country club
were sanded and oiled, improving
them greatly for putting. The course
is now in the best condition it has
been since started and interest in the
game is spreading. Though the fair
ways are none too smooth, and bad
ger holes and sagebrush offer plenty
uf hazards, some of the boys are be
coming quite adept at the game. Dave
Wilson so far has low' score this year
with a 48, while a number of players
have turned in scores around 50. Par
is 35, but it is quite probable no one
will ever make the rounds of the nine
holes inside this number of strokes.

LOCALS OUT-BOOT
ARLINGTON, BUT

Loose Ball Played Sunday; Fans

lone 1 2 .333
It looked like a long siege for the
fans from the turn loose at the Rodeo
ball lot Sunday and so it turned out
to be. Hectic playing was the order
of the day, Heppner and Arlington
each trying to outdo the other in
booting or throwing away the raw
hide pellet. The final score was
10-6.
With two hits and an error Arling
ton succeeded in loading the bases
the first time up, but Pitcher Drake
proved himself master of the situa
tion by striking out enough batsmen
to prevent scoring. Then Heppner
grabbed off three runs in the initial
frame, via. three hits and a couple
of errors. So it proceeded throughout
the nine innings, nothing being sure.
Heppner, however, grabbed off enuogh
runs in the early innings to insure
her lead, and about the only question
was how big the score would be be
fore dark.
There was some good fielding, how
ever. Blackburn in left pasture for
the visitors, glommed onto three hard
chances, and Gay Anderson, veteran
local midfieldsman, chased all over
the inclosure to make a hero of him
self. Then the fans thought they had
their money's worth when in the sev
enth with the bases empty Drake
clouted one of Woolsey's twisters far
over the center field fence, entitling
him to free passage of the bases. This
was the first home run so far record
ed in the Morrow-Giiliam league.
With the score standing 10-4 in the
ninth, the visitors made a nice at
tempt to even things up, but suc
ceeded in tallying but two runners
when the end came.
In Sunday's game at Condon, lone
took the long end of the 10-2 score,
giving Heppner equal position with
Condon in the legaue standings. Next
Sunday Heppner plays at Arlington
und Condon plays at lone.

Morrow Hunters Make
Good Record in March
(Stanley G. Jewett, Leader, Preda
tory Animal Control.)
During March, thirty men worked
all or part time and turned in the
skins or scalps of 214 coyotes, 40
bobcats, one cougar, a total of 255
predatory animals. In addition, 152
unborn coyotes and 33 unborn bob
cats, four badgers, 58 porcupines and
9 skunks were destroyed. An average
of nine predatory animals (not count
ing unborn young) per man per thir
ty days was taken and those who
took this many or more in Morrow
county are: Harold Ahalt, Alva
Stone, and A. J. Knoblock. Ahalt is
credited with two bobcats, seven adult
and it. pup coyotes; Stone with 15
adult and 11 pup coyotes, and Knob-
lock with 17 adult coyotes.
To Hunter Alva Stone belongs the
credit of taking the first litter of
coyote pups from a den this year. On
March J4th, he dug up a den contain
ing eleven pups and was successful
in shooting the female parent. I
hope every man on the job will be
successful in getting one or both par
ents at every den found. This is of
utmost importance if you are to rid
your range of coyotes. Let us all
pull together and make April a ban
ner month. To Hunter Edgar Watkins
belongs the credit of being one of
the few men who have succeeded in
poisoning a cougar. He took one this
way in March.

Egypt and U. S. A.
Recently Mr. Gifford, head of the
telephone company, proved that "tele
vision," making it possible to see and
hear individuals or crowds hundreds
of miles away, is practical.
The question, "How can that be
made useful?" is answered in a way
that in centuries to come will shed
light on our civilization.
"There is no doubt about it," you
are told, "the only way in which tele
vision can be made profitable is IN
CONNECTION WITH BIG PRIZE
FIGHTS." People will pay well to
see men fighting and to hear the yells
of the mob gathered around the prize
ring. Would television make money
enabling distant crowds to see and
hear great preachers or college pro
fessors? It would NOT.
A conference of college students
has decided against trial marriage,
quite solemnly, by a vote of 16 to 7.
Wise Providence has decided against
it by a vote of about 100 to 0.
7, hen the seven young gentlemen
who think they believe in trial mar
riage fall in love, they will know
positively the marriage they plan is
to last forever, would detest the the
ory of a trial, and insult anybody
suggesting it.
Or if not, they would not be worth
marrying.
"It would be better for Massachu
setts and the administration of justice
generally, if a commission could be
appointed to investigate the evidence
on which Sacco and Vanzetti are con
demned to die." That is the opin-
on of the Rev. Roland D. Sawyer,
Congregational clergyman and mem
ber of the- Massachusetts Legsiiature.
The commission, for which be intro
duces a bill, would consist of the
Chief Justice of the Massachusetts
Supreme Court, and four others to
be appointed by the Governor. She
commission would be authorized to
recommend to the Governor a new
trial or such course as might seem
necessary.
The impression that justice in the
United States is in a hurry to execute
anybody or determined to do so
should be carefully avoided. This is
a case that has never been passed
upon, as regards the evidence, by any
but one judge, and a case in whic'i
after-the-war excitement played a
considerable part.
An Egyptian tomb near the Giza
Pyramids, opened by Vienna scien
tists, contains the record and mummy

Our richest princesses marry men

difference and that Egyptian princess
had the better of it. She got some
thing in exchange for her hand, with
the long, tapering fingers.
Interest yourself in vitamins. Dr.
H. C, Sherman, learned professor of
chemistry, proves that vitamins bring
maturity earlier and make it last
longer. Vitamins are found in milk,
butter, lettuce and all green vege
tables, cod liver oil, red wine (barred
here), fruit, yeast, etc.
In addition to vitamins, mineral
salts are absolutely necessary to life.
No animal can live without them.
Public school education should in
clude information on diet. Mothers
especially are interested in vitamins.
Experiments with animals show vita
mins influence the number of the

birth.
There is much prosperity in this
country and, fortunately for us, it is
not all based on "natural resources"
oil, iron, coal, forests, good soil, etc.
Most of it comes from inside the na
tional skull. Sir Ernest Benn ob
serves that American prosperity is, in
