Visiting Pupils Take 7
Firsts to Morrow
County's 2.
Umatilla county with seven firsts
won the honors In the first Inter
County Declamatory contest, be
tween local contest winners of Mor
row and Umatilla counties. Morrow
county placed but two firsts. The
contest was held In the local gym
auditorium Saturday night befort a
large audience.
This does not mean that Umatilla
had a walk-away. Competition was
keen in all divisions, and from the
applause given each contestant it
would be hard to decide just which
of them gained the most favor with
the audience. One thing is certain,
and that is declamation is taking
large strides In both counties and
the showing made by each was such
as to cause the feeling of pride to
raise in any patriotic citizen.
From the Judges' standpoint, who
were basing their markings on
stage presence, voice and delivery,
more technicalities were taken into
consideration than would probably
be taken into account by the ma
jority of the audience. This gave
Umatilla her edge. The majority
of her contestants showed the re
sult of a more intensified training,
resulting from the many more con
testa her representatives had taken
part In, previous to the Inter-county
meet The talent of the larger
county as a whole did not greatly
overshadow that produced here, and
Morrow county can look forward
to getting her share of the laurels
in this contest In future years if
declamation work continues to
progress as it has the past three
years.
The contest was In three divis
ions, lower grade, upper grade and
high school, with six contestants In
each division. In the first two di
visions two contestants, one from
each county, recited each of the
following types of pieces, patriotic,
dramatic and humorous, while In
the high school division the same
arrangement was made with the
selections being oratorical, dramat
ic and humorous.
It is a hard matter to give special1
mention to any of the contestants
as they were all mighty good. One
of the outstanding contests, how
ever, was among the small tots of
the lower grades, in the humorous
division. The talent showed by
both contestants would compare
favorably with that of any division,
and while the Umatilla county girl
took first, the offering of the Mor
row county representative, to this
writer, was one of the outstanding
recitations of the evening.
A coincidence of the contest was
that both contestants in the humor
ous division of the upper grades
had chosen the same selection.
"Who's Afraid," is the title. It Is
a winning selection and was well
given by both entrants.
Judges for the contest were Mr.
and Mrs. Virgil Anderson and Miss
Whito of The Dalles. Following
are the contestants with the places
won:

Hal Hoss Receives
Backing from Press
By ELBERT BEDE
(Editor Cottage Grove Sentinel,
and former President Oregon State
Editorial association.)
Under the Oregon system, wheth
er or not we are fully In sympathy
with It, the candidate without a
long sack is at a great disadvan
tage In a candidacy that Is state
wide. The fact that the Hal Hoss
candidacy for secretary of state
"took" almost Immediately, In view
of the fact that almost nothing has
been spent in giving it publicity. Is
one of the outstanding and some
what surprising things in Oregon
politics.
The popularity of the Hoss can
didacy Is due to the fact that Hal
has something that is more potent
than money he has something that
money can not buy he has the
friendship and the confidence of
everyone with whom he ever has
been associated.
And Hal is fortunate in his
friends.
His association with the newspa
per boys of the state has given him
a host of friends in a better posi
tion than any other class to give
him publicity. They have done so
voluntarily and without stint Even
those papers that have not openly
endorsed his candidacy have had a
kind word to say at least, nothing
in opposition.
As manager of a large publishing
plant, as secretary to the governor
of the state, in his civic and social
activities he has made other scores
of friends outside of the fraternity.
And they are boosting and telling
their friends.
The success of the Hoss candi
dacy will mean that a man of abil
ity, as Hoss is, does not have to
have a sack of money to win a state
election. He must have friends and
lots of them and these must be
friends that were made with no
thought of their ever being of use
to him in a political way.
Hal has made his friends without
any ulterior motive. Until now he
has been giving more than he re
ceived. If elected secretary of state,
as I believe he will be, he will again
give more than he will receive.

A Candidate
This statement can indeed be made truthfully
in regard to S-. E. Notson, for twenty-five years a
resident of Morrow county, and identified with the
best interests of this part of the second congress
ional district during all that time. He has a long
record of clean, conscientious nad efficient public '
service, is an able public speaker a man of per
sonality and character,' having wide public ex
perience, and an able, campaigner; and he is a
candidate who can win in November.
Having been out on the campaign for a few
days this week with Candidate Notson, we are
thoroughly convinced that he is making splendid
headway and is gaining in popularity at all points
he has been able to reach on his itinerary.
We were impressed with the manner of cam
paign Mr. Notson is making. It is clean, straight
forward and outstanding, and does not fail to im
press the voters. He is appealing to them to per
form their patriotic duty and get to the polls and
vote- He fully realizes that good men are in the
field against him, that at this particular time these
men with himself are on trial, and tie invites the
fullest investigation of his record, it being an open
book, with nothing to be covered up. On May 18
the electors of the district will be on trial, and it is
their duty to get to the polls, and when they get in
the voting booth, to write in the name of the man
best fitted for the place; he sincerely hopes this
may be himself, but if not he will have no complaint
to make, and will have his coat off in the fall cam
paign and working for the election of the success
ful nominee.

Upper Columbia League
Baseball Pennant An
nexed Second Time.
For the second time within the
present school year . the Heppner
high school athletic, teams have
romped off with the championship
of the Upper Columbia Athletic
league. Last fall it was in football
now It is baseball. The local team
also won the 1927 baseball cham
pionship. The Heppner boys showed their
mettle by going through the entire
season without losing a single game
thus ending the season with a 1000
per cent record. ,
Much credit is due the boys of
the entire squad. Although the
weather was not good baseball
weather, long and Intensive hours
of practice were put in, which
brought the coveted championship
pennant to Heppner high school.
This year, twelve members of the
(quad have played In the season's
nine and of these 8 have played
enough to win their letters.
The lettermen are as follows:
Gerald Slocum, captain, lb; Robert
Turner, 2b; Henry Robertson, p;
Howard Evans, c; Harold Gentry,
ss; Nolan Turner, 3b; Jim Monahan,
If; Elmer Hake, rf. Others who
have played are Marvin Gammell,
p; "Red" Bramer, 2b, and Onez Par
ker, f.
Among this group, baseball mon
ograms (three letters in baseball)
were earned by Slocum, Turner and
Evans. Captain Slocum and Bob
Turner are the only letter men of
this year who will be lost by grad
uation. This, of course, leaves a
good squad for next year and with
other material coming on Heppner
high school should make a splen
did showing in the league again
next year.

JASPER V. CRAWFORD, K.R.S,
LOCAL HI SGH
WIIUS CHAMPIONSHIP
Reports coming in constantly from over the dis
trict to the Notson-for-Congress club at Heppner
are encouraging in the extreme. His friends are
overlooking any move that will
at the polls. As the campaign
becoming more and more apparent
contender in this race that acknow
candidates fear, as he gains strength
be a winner in the fall and it is
of this paper that he is the strongest
and safest candidate in the field. He can win
against Walter Pierce, who is conceded the demo
cratic nomination; we have it straight that he is
feared more by Mr. Pierce than are any of the other
contenders, and this fear of the ex-governor is well
founded. Notson will be found to be a red hot
campaigner in the fall election, and more than this,
as a winner he will go to Washington as one of the
best men the second district has ever had. As ex
pressed in last issue of this paper, we believe that
he will indeed be a very worthy successor to N. J.
Sinnott, who for the past fifteen years has so ably
represented Oregon and the second district at
Washington. Mr. Notson is congressional timber,
possessing all the necessary qualifications, gained
through his wide public experience of the last
quarter of a century.
Republicans of Morrow county should and will
give him practically a unanimous endorsement by
going to the polls on May 18 and writing in his
name and placing the X before it.
W. 0. Staver Is Write-In
Candidate for Legislature
W. O. Staver, the republican can
didate for joint representative of
Morrow and Umatilla counties, 22nd
representative district of Oregon,
whose name should be written In
and marked thus, X W. O. Staver,
was born on a farm in Wayne
county, Ohio. He moved with his
parents to Kansas early in life. He
was educated In the public schools
of Ohio and Kansas, and Is grad
uate of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
After his admission to the bar,
Mr. Staver immediately enlisted In
the third regiment Missouri Volun
teer infantry and served through
out the Spanish American war, af
ter which he entered the govern
ment service, receiving his appoint
ment for Texas, where he served
five years as immigrant Inspector
In charge, Port of Laredo, Texas,
and assistant U. S. attorney for the
southern district of Texas during
the Taft administration.
Coming to Oregon in 1915, he has
been a citizen and taxpayer of Uma
tilla county ever since. If elected
Mr. Staver will work for the mutual
development of the industries of
Morrow and Umatilla counties, and
of the state of Oregon in general;
the highways of the state; the alli
ed interests of the farmer, the
stockman and the fruit grower in
relation to irrigation, dry land
farming and grazing. The ' tax
problem is also vital to the devel
opment of Oregon's resources, and
should be adjusted so that the bur
den will not fall exclusively on the
land, and machinery and livestock
required to cultivate it
STOCKMEN'S MEET A SUCCESS.
The meeting of the Cattle and
Horse Raisers' association at John
Day on Monday was a pronounced
success. Some 150 stockmen were
in attendance, and during the after
noon and evening their membership
roll had 50 more names added. In
the evening there was a big ban
quet at McHaley hall, given by the
John Day Chamber of Commerce
and more than 300 guests were
served.
The object of these meetings, this
being the first of a series, is to
strengthen the state organization
by the addition of more members
and the creating of interest in the
forth coming meeting of the state
association at Enterprise on July
2 and 3. Five such meetings as that
at John Day will be held tills month
and five more next month, closing
in time to get to Enterprise, and it
is hoped this will be the means of
securing a very large gathering at
the Wallowa countv seat
ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH.
The mass next Sunday, May 13,
in the Heppner church will be at
11 o'clok. There will be a previous
mass in lone, at the home of Mr.

fore these masses. The pastor will
preach at both masses.
The usual Catechism class in lone
at Mrs. Edw. A. Lindeken's home
on Saturday, May 12, at 2:30 p. m.,

On Thursday, May 18, will be cel
ebrated the Ascension of Christ,

Thursday. This day is a holy day
of obligation, and there will be two
masses on that day in Heppner, so
as to give all a chance to assist and
proceed to' work and to school.
These early masses will be at 7:00
and 8:30 with confessions before
each mass.

Louncil Lonsiders iaaio
and Parking Ordinances
Radio Interference in Heppner
may be controlled, and a time limit
set on parking on Main street The
opinion of the council at Its May
meeting Monday night was that
these things should be done. Just
now they are deciding just what
are the best steps to take. Radio
ordinances from Condon and Pen
dleton were read at the meeting
and considered.
A grievance committee of citizens
living on Center street was present
to ask the city dads for better water
service on their street They com
plained that they were on a dead
end of a main that had become well
filled with silt and thatlt kept them
busy flushing their house pipes to
get any water at all. Their griev
ance was placed In the hands of the
water committee.
It was also recommended that the
peddlers' license be increased to an
amount to afford some real revenue
from this source and the city attor
ney was instructed to draw up a
new ordinance with this in view.
Another action taken was to in
struct the street committee to get
in communication with the state
highway department with a view
to fencing the highway at the school
house bend, which the council con
siders is a menace to the safety of
school children as it now stands.

FIRE ON MONDAY.
C. A. Rhea's living quarters in
the Fell garage on Chase street
caught afire Monday afternoon and
necessitated some lively action by
the fire department to check the
flames. Though the fire was soon
got under control Mr. Rhea's be
longings wee badly damaged, and
the rooms will necessitate consid
erable repair. The origin of the fire
is a matter of conjecture.

Hepnner at Wasco. Arlington at lone.
Condon at Umatilla.
Fans at Rodeo field Sunday got
all the thrills they could ask for
when Heppner handed Umatilla,
Wheatland league leaders, their
first defeat of the season, 8-4. The
locals started scoring the first time
up, making their runs two at a
time In the first, second, third and
egihth Innings.
It was a hitting game, as shown
by the 11 safe bingles gleaned by
Umatilla and Heppner's nine, and
the low number of strikeouts, Berry
for Umatilla making but four, while
Drake struck out six, showing that
while Umatilla had the edge on
hits Drake was better in the pinches
than his opponent and prevented
scoring. This, of course, combined
with Heppner's fielders' perform
ance which was perfect with the
exception of one lone error. The
error was Van Marter's at second
base who in his anxiety to make a
double out of shortstop Hisler's
neat toss, was a little too sure and
allowed the ball to get past him.
Van and all the rest of the gang
made up for this little boner sev
eral times over, however, and gave
the visitors more grief than a lit
tle. Aiken and Anderson in the out
er pasture were fed up on put outs
enough to last them the week out
easily, each of them getting three
nice skyscrapers. Aiken made the
prettiest catch of the day when he
ran close to fifty yards to pick a
high one just over the.jnfleld. He
made the catch at arm's length
while runlng full speed, just barely
being able to reach it The two
kids, Hisler at short and Erwin on
first played like veterans, doing
their stuff nicely both at bat and in
the field. But then they all played
good, so why mention it all. Oh,
yes, we just can't overlook old man
LaMear behind the bat, who cli
maxed the game by catching Mlt-
tlesdorf napping off first for the
final out
When he did It however, he ruin
ed a perfectly lovely exhibition for
the spectators, as Mr. Clown Blake-
ly, who had been razzing Drake
about his home run, was just facing
this worthy and the spectators were
anxious to see who would get the
best of the argument
Yes, Mr. Drake got a home run,
a good clean one, out amongst the
cow barns over the center pasture
fence. But It wasn't needed, as it
came In the eighth after Heppner
already had all the lead necessary.
It made him feel good, though,,and
all the rest of the home folks, too.
LaMear was camping on first when
the episode occurred, so of course
it accounted for two markers.
Teammate LaMear outhit Ducky
by a base at that, as he got a triple,
double and single in four trips up,
while the latter got but a single
added to the homer.1
Umatilla's rally came In the fifth
vith the score already six against
them, and for a time the stnnds
were fairly uneasy for fear the lead
wasn't big enough. In this inning
seven batsmen faced Mr. Drake,
getting four hits which combined
with Van Marter's error netted
three runs. That's all there was
for them till the ninth when Drake
forgot himself and let P. Hansen
have a fat one which he rode for
two bases. That made Ducky a
trifle warm and he whiffed Berry
and Woodard, when Mittlesdorf
sneaked in his third hit of the game
and scored Hansen. Then LaMear
nabbed Mittlesdorf at first and the
game was over.
Condon handed lone her second
defeat in a row on the Condon
grounds Sunday. 5-4, putting Con
don among the 500 percenters and
dumping lone into the cellar, while
Wasco retaliated her defeat by Ar
lington the Sunday previous, and
walloped them 12-9 on the home
grounds, evening up these two in
percentage along with Heppner and
Condon, all 500. Umatilla still leads
with 750.
