ACTIVE CAMPAIGN ON
Receives Endorsement of Dry
Forces and Has Strong Support
Over Second District
At a meeting of Republicans of
the city held on last Thursday eve
ning In the office of Attorney C. L.
Sweek, a Notson-for-Congress club
was organized, and the campaign to
secure the nomination of S. E. Not
son as representative of the second
congressional district to succeed N.
J. Sinnott, resigned, is now on in
earnest. To make the work of the
club more effective a solicitation of
the city was made on Monday for
funds, and the response was prompt
and generous, many democrats
lending their help in this way, and
to date the reports of Mr. Notson's
campaign are all to the good. Mem
bership In the club is growing over
the county and many names are be
ing added at Lexington and lone.
The vote in the primaries of Mor
row county on the 18th of May
should be practically unanimous
among the Republicans for Notson.
There are now some seven or
eight candidates in the field for
this place, with Notson of Morrow
county, Butler of Wasco and Ritner
of Umatilla standing out most
prominently. In his own district
Mr. Butler will have to divide hon
ors with Mr. Palmitcr, master of
the State Grange, who is a promin
ent citizen of Hood River, while Mr.
Ritner is opposed in Umatilla by
Hawley Bean, a prominent farmer
of Echo. Each candidate Is moving
rapidly and a lively campaign Is
being made to have the names of
the favorites written in on the bal
lot It seems to be the impression
that a vote of around 2000 will land
the nomination, but it may require
more than this.
Mr. Notson has been a prominent
resident of Morrow county for the
past 25 years, and has served his
county well In public office. At pres
ent he is district attorney, having
been elected to this place three suc
cessive terms without opposition.
Previous to that he had served as
county school superintendent for
more than eight years, placing the
schools of the county in a high place
in the educational system of the
state. He has been active in many
ways in community affairs in Hepp
ner, and during the stress of the
war period, served his state and
country in many ways, giving of his
time and strength unstintedly day
and night His work was well rec
ognized along this line. In this re
gard, the last issue of Oregon Voter
says:
"S. E. Notson of Heppner has a
war record and a record in office
and in politics that makes him a
formidable contender. His war rec
ord consists not only In the contri
bution of two patriotic sons, one of
whom enlisted before a state of war
was declared and the other Imme
diately thereafter, but In his capa
ble energy in war work. What Not
son did in wan drives will not be
forgotten by those who were asso
ciated with him. He was on the Job
day and night with industry and
fervor, and showed capacity for
leadership. If elected he would
prove eeffctlve In Congress."
This is the truth as to Mr. Not
son's war record, but he Is not lack
ing in many other respects. Reared
on a farm, nn"d spending many years
in farm work, he is familiar with
the needs of that great basic indus
try; furthermore, ho has had wide
experience along many other lines
that will (It him for the place he
seeks. There is not much this pa
per can say regarding him that is
not well known to every citizen of
the county, and Mr. Notson will
take pains to make himself known
over the district between now and
the date of the primary.
In furtherance of his candidacy
we have no apologies of any sort to
make. His record has been so clean
that there need be no hesitancy on
the part of anyone in giving him a
clean bill of sale along this line, and
we are sure that if the people of
the second congressional district
endorse him at the primary he will
be able to win the fall election
against any man the opposition may
choose, and that man seems to be
Walter M. Pierce, as no other can
didate is apparent in the demo
cratic party.
The Notson-for-Congress club is
sending out the following which in
dicates that the Anti-Saloon League
of Oregon has become a factor In
the congressional race of Eastern
Oregon by swinging its forces be
hind the candidacy of S. E. Notson
for the republican party nomination
at the primary election May 18. An
nouncement that the league had
gone on record in favor of Mr. Not
son was made from the headquar
ters of the league in Portland Tues
day by R. E. Close, state superin
tendent.
"The headquarters committee of
the Anti-Saloon league of Oregon
has waited until the last moment
when our action will be effective In
order to learn who Intended to en

second district," tha statement ran.
"The league unhesitatingly recom-
Ranger Clark Reports
Much Snow in Timber
"There has been a heavy snow
fall In the mountain section of Mor
row county during the past two
weeks, and while warmer days
have caused some of it to go out,
the promise Is fine for a good wa
ter supply this summer," is the
statement made to this paper on
Saturday by Ranger Geo. W. Clark.
Mr. Clark has been busy with a
small crew In restoring the tele
phone line In the part of the Uma
tilla forest under his care, and get
ting the trails in shape for the
movement of sheep to the high
mountains. This work is being
pushed as fast as conditions will
permit The work of getting the
trails In shape to prevent fires Is
to be pushed along ahead of the
opening of the season for the
drives.
About the 15th of April Elmer
Hinton attempted to come across
the trail from Uklah to Heppner,
but failed to make It because of
snow. At the Ellis ranger station
he found 36 inches of snow. Snow
starts at Sugarbowl and extends to
Swale creek, but In the west end of
the forest where the timber is more
open, the snow Is gone, and the
men are working now on roads and
telephone lines.
Mr. Hinton left Ukiah again on
the 16th and was able to reach Tup-
per station on the 17th. Near this
station he reports having seen a
band of 14 elk that had evidently
been making that section head
quarters for some time, feeding on
the aspens. Hinton saw the elk
cross the train right at Tupper
station and they were in fine con
dition. Mr. Clark reports having
seen five head of deer near Bull
Prairie ranger station, east of the
Hardman-Spray road and near the
summit Wild game will apparent

HEAVY WIND STORM MONDAY.
A very disagreeable and heavy
wind storm struck Morrow county
about noon on Monday, and before
long the air was filled with dust.
No great damage was reported from
over the county, though slight in
Jury occurred here and there to
buildings. At Lexington a portion
of the tin roof on the warehouse of
Farmers Warehouse Co. was blown
off and carried a distance of a city
block, and a small garage at Mr.
Hunt's place was flattened out
Over parts of the county there was
some hall, but no damage reported
to growing crops.
mends that the friends of he dry
cause who are Republicans support
S. E. Notson.
'The league officials earnestly
hope that no other dry candidates
will enter the field to divide the dry
vote."
Mr. Notson is a member of the
executive committee of the league
and has a notable record In the dry
cause. As district attorney of Mor
row county for three terms he has
done effective work in law enforce-1
ment. With these facts before It,
the headquarters committee of the
league gave him its unqualified en
dorsement.
Anti-Saloon league officials urge
friends of the dry cause in the sec
ond district to write In the name of
S. E. Notson for representative in
congress.
Mr. Notson Is on the first lap of
hiB Itinerary this week, having vis
ited the north end of Morrow coun
ty on Monday. He went to Uma
tilla county on Tuesday and then to
Union and Wallowa. He is being
accompanied this far by W. T.
Campbell, and from La Grande he
will go on to Baker with Sheriff
McDuffee, who left today for La-
Grande, From Baker Mr. Notson
will make a swing through Grant,
Wheeler and Gilliam counties, while
Mr. MfDuffee will go into Mal
heur and Harney counties. Mr,
Notson expects to be back In Hepp
ner by Monday. He will then take
up the work of visiting the rest of
the counties In the district, or just
so many of them as possible before
the primaries. ,.
Let every man and woman of this
county be a booster for Notson. He
should have solid support here,

Final Meeting P. T. A.
Next Tuesday Evening
The final meeting of the Patron-
Teacher association will be held at
the Episcopal parish house on next
Tuesday evening, under the aus
pices of the social committee. It
being National Music Week, the
program will be combined with
that of music week observance. The
public Is cordially invited to at
tend and an urgent request Is made
for the fathers to be on hand at
this time, as it should be the one
meeting of the year appealing to
them. The program will be musi
cal and literary, as follows:
Vocal boIo, Harvey Miller; read
ing, Mrs. P. M. Gemmell; violin
solo, Mitchell Thorn; vocal solo,
Miss Frances Ede; reading, Mrs.
T. A. Hughes; music by American
Legion Auxiliary glee club; vocal
solo, Mrs. Mitchell Thorn; address,
Chas. Smith; music, Mlssildlne trio.
COURT INTERVIEWED.
Quite a number of citizens and
tax payers of the county held an
interview with the members of the
county court on Wednesday eve
ning, at which time some pertinent
questions were asked and general
information sought The main Is
sue seemed to be in regard to the
policy of the court regarding road
work, that being, of course, one of
the largest items in the budget of
expenditures. The policy of buying
machinery and supplies was gone
into, and the court was finally led
to admit that its manner of con
ducting this part of the business
had been somewhat haphazard and
they finally consented to the plan
of not buying any of this material
and supplies without asking for
competitive bids, and this ' will
doubtless be their plan of procedure
m the future. The session was
quite long drawn out, but the final
understanding reached seemed quite
satisfactory to all persons con
cerned. In the future It might be
a good plan for the taxpayers to
pay a little closer attention to the
business their servants are doing,
thus making a better understand
ing between officials and public.
VIOLIN AND 1'IANO RECITAL.
A violin and piano recital will be
given on Wednesday evening, May
9th, at 8:00 at the Christian church.
Miss Esther Fredreckson of Stan-
field, violinist, and Miss Endlcott of
Pendleton, pianist, will give the en
tire program. These young ladies
are quite Advanced and have had a
good deal of experience playing.
We can look forward to a very en
tertaining evening of music. There
will be no charge and the public
of Heppner is cordially invited to
attend.
NATIONAL HOSPITAL DAY.
Saturday, May 12th, Is National
Hospital Day. The Morrow Gener
al hospital of this city will keep
"open house" on that date from
2 to & o'clock p. m. Mothers with
small babies will be especially wel
comed. This will give everyone an

pital and Inspect the equipment and

'''his is a favorable time of yea
for trapping the animals, as many
litters of pups are taken, and the

Heppner High Wins
All Scheduled Games
The Heppner high school baseball
team defeated the Condon baseball
team 16-5, Friday, April 28. ' .
The game was played at Condon
and marked the finish of the sched
uled games for the local team In
the Upper Columbia league, with a
clean slate of wins.
The Condon boys put up a pretty
hard fight and managed to hold
the local team down until the sev
enth inning when fate landed into
the locals' hands and they succeed
ed in getting ten scores.
Due to the severe wind the pitch
ers were unable to control the ball
and several bases were got on balls.
The high school team has won all
of their scheduled games and will
automatically become champions of
the league if Boardman loses to
lone Saturday. If Boardman wins
Heppner will play Boardman for
the championship.
The baseball team has been very
successful this year and credit
should be given them for their ex
cellent playing and sportsmanship.
The nine did not consist of only
two or three good players but the
team was good as a whole. Every
player was depended upon just as
much as any other regardless of
the position on the team.
Following is the line-up for the
Condon game:
Heppner Slocum 1, R. Turner 2,
Thompson mr Gentry ss, Evans c,
N .Turner 3, Robertson p, Hake r,
Monahan 1, Parker 1.
Condon Hess 2, Weed 1, C. Hol

Where the Teams Flay Next Sunday:
Umatilla at Heppner: lone at Condon
and Arlington at Wasco.
Heppner had one bad inning
and that is the story of their de
feat at Umatilla Sunday. That to
gether -with bang-up ball played by
the league leaders. Umatilla is now
the only undefeated team In the
Wheatland league.
Heppner's bad inning, or Uma
tilla's good one, either way you care
to put it was the third. Pitcher
Berry led off with a hit was ad
vanced by Woodwrad's single, and
the two of them scored on Mittles-
dorf's double-sacker. Mittlesdorf
himself scored on centerfielder
Schroeder's error. That was all the
scoring for the whole game.
Pitcher Drake was working to ad
vantage and it was a tough game
for him to lose. He is credited with
eight strike-outs to Berry's five,
while he allowed but five hits.
Though there were several errors,
Schroeder's was the only one to
come at a critical point
Schroeder is a new arrival to ap
pear in the lineup. He had Just got
off the boat from California and
had been up all night the night be
fore, hence he was not severely con
demned. Other faces new this sea
son in the game were those of Fred
Hobkir.s, who relieved Erwin at first
in the third, and Bus Solvester at
short
The score book shows a record of
the one-two-three order in the ma
jority of innings, the outs being a
mixture of infield toss-outs and
strikeouts.
Umatilla comes here next Sunday
when the locals are hoping to break
their winning streak.

IMMEET
GOMES SATURDAY
61 Have Part in County
Contest That Named
Entries.
Sixty-one entrants, representing
nearly every school In the county,
participated In the third annual
Morrow County Declamatory con
test held in the school auditorium
Saturday evening, first place win
ners of which will be placed In com
petition with first place winners of
the Umatilla county contest for the
championship of the two counties
at Heppner next Saturday night
There were 44 entrants in the
grade division and 14 in the high
school division. Large audiences
were present at both divisions of the
contest
Due to the large number of en
trants it was necessary to split the
performance, the grade division
contesting In the high school assem
bly room at the same time the high
school division vied in the auditorium-gymnasium.
This was by far
the largest contest ever staged in
the county, and the splendid talent
shown marked it also as one of the
best
An apology is due the community
for the long wait preceding the
contest state officials. This was
caused by the organization being
changed at the last minute by the
executive committee of the Morrow
County Declamatory league. The
contest as arranged at present is
becoming so cumbersome that it
will probably necessitate pre-dis-
trict contests in future years, fol
lowed by the county final, thus
shortening the contest and placing
only the best talent In the finals.
Judges were as follows: Division
I, High School Y. Yeager, Pendle
ton; U. S. Caverhill, Ferndale; F. H,
Anderson, Riek. Division II and
HI combined: Miss Cunning, Bak
er; Miss Oliver, Baker and Miss
Fuller, Baker.
Winners announced are:
Division I, High School, Dramat
ic: First Erma Duvall, Lexington;
second, Imogene McFerrin, Hepp
ner. Oratorical: First Earl Wat
tenburger, Pine City; second, Dor
othy Isom, Irrigon. Humorous:
First, Mildred Morgan, lone; sec
ond, Mary White, Heppner.
Division II, Upper grades, Non-
Humorous: First Herman Green,
Heppner ; second. Norma Gibbons,
Boardman. Humorous: First An
abelle Turner, Heppner; second.
Mary Chaffee, Boardman.
Division III, Lower grades, Non-
Humorous: First Winnie Brown,
lone; second, Lena Neill, Pine City.
Humorous: First Maxine McCurdy,
lone; second, Marvin Cox, Lexing
ton. These first place winners will rep
resent Morrow county against Um
atilla county here next Saturday
evening in the school auditorium.
There will be seven entrants from
each county with the classifications
the same as in the local contest
Showing the pick of the two coun
ties it is expected this contest wiU
be exceptionally good. The time
announced is 8 o'clock and the pub
lic is assured the contest will start
promptly at this time. It is hoped
to make this an annual contest and
this will very likely be brought
about if the initial fray here Satur
day is given the support it justifies.
