Mrs. Farnsworth had lived in this city for long years, her family grew up here, and she was a highly respected citizen in the community, known and loved by a large circle of friends because of her kindly and neighborly disposition, and her passing is mourned by many aside from the members of her family. Katherlne Margaret Pray was born In Flndlay, Ohio, February 4, 1850, the daughter of William K. nnd Emellne E. Pray, both of New York City. She came to Oregon by way of the Isthmus of Panama with an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Smith and settled at Port land. On June 18, 1873, she was married at Portland to Orln E. Farnsworth and came with him to Morrow county in 1874, the family settling on Rhea creek where Mr. Farnsworth engaged In sheep rais ing and some farming on a small scale, but which business increased as time went on until he was known as one of the leading men in the Industry in this community. The family later moved to Heppner where they made their home, Mr. Farnsworth passing away a few years ago. To Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth nine children were born, seven of whom are still living, these being four daughters and three sons, Mrs. Chas. Thomson, Mrs. L. E. Bisbee, Mrs. J. W. Beymer of Heppner, Mrs. W. LDInsmore of Menlo Park, Cal., and three sons, Frank P. of Hepp ner, Edward T. of Monument and Karl W. of Enterprise.

Plan Benefit Dance For Swimming Pool Heppner unit American Legion Auxiliary has completed plans for a benefit dance for the Legion pool. Music for the dance, which will be held In Elks' hall Friday evening, May 3, will be furnished by the Blue Devil orchestra of The Dalles. Because of the fact that it will require the expenditure o sev eral hundred dollars to put the pool In condition for opening this year, and the further fact that Heppner Post Is still In debt from operation of the tank last year, the Auxiliary is taking this means of permitting the public to aid In putting the tank in shape. The members of the auxiliary believe the tank to be a civic Institution, and urge every citizen of the city to buy tickets, whether or not they are dancers. K. OF P. ATTENTION. Very Important meeting sched uled for Tuesday, May 7, at Castle hall. Important all possible attend. Late refreshments. JASPER V. CRAWFORD, K. R. S.

"Pickles" Gives Promise; Date Will be Set Soon Waterfalls, sparkling pools, Vien nese costumes, peasant carnivals and quaint folk dances of Old Bo hemia all go to make Pickles, the annual high school operetta, one of the prettiest and sprightllest of the popular operettas. The date of pres entation will be announced next week. In stage effects, Betting forth the aforementioned background, the op eretta this year will far exceed all former presentations of like nature, declares Jas. M. Burgess, superin tendent. But not alone In scenery will ''Pickles" be distinguished. In spite of the ludicrous name, the melodies are harmonious and beau tiful, and though humorous in na ture, a beautiful theme of romance runs throughout. The plot centers around an Amer- ian pickle merchant who tries to corner the pickle market in Vienna. Varied and numerous are the ex periences encountered, including a mix-up with the royalists. The pu pils cast by Miss Kate Francis Ede, coach, are well adapted to their parts, It is declared, and Heppner and vicinity may look forward to a real treat. BOY SCOUTS. The Boy Scouts do move. We have been making some real prog ress during these past few weeks. There was a hike to the mountains by a group of seventeen boys, on which some cooking tests were pass ed and a lot of fun had. During the meetings the boys have been working on various tests and passing them; boxing the com pass, signaling, Are making, knots, Scout laws, etc. Wednesday evening, April 17, Dr. Johnston gave the boys and two lone Scout girls a demonstration In bandaging and first aid care of fractures. Both the triangular and the roll bandages were used. The doctor gave us quite a thorough lecture and the boys did a lot of practicing. This Thursday evening, April 18, there will be a court of honor, held in the new Scout and Camp Fire Girl room In the high school base ment Several boys will receive their tenderfoot badges and one or two will be made Second Class Scouts. There are several boys just on the verge of becoming First Class Scouts. We have lately acquired a library of merit badge books which will be put in the school library and can be drawn upon by the boys in the usual way. We hope soon to have some Star, Life and Eagle scouts in our troop. "Her Step Husband" to be Presented at Lexington The play, "Her Step-Husband," which, was given at Alpine school house March 30, is to be given at Lexington school auditorium, April 25, at 8 o'clock. Because those attending the play before pronounced It a great suc cess with a fast-moving plot and lots of laughs, the senior class of Lexington high school is sponsoring Its second presentation, so that peo ple who have not seen it may have the opportunity of doing so. The play concerns a young wo man, who, having eloped against the wishes of her relatives, has been tempted to "romance" a little about her new home. When the visit of her aunt impends, It is necessary for her to employ a good many subterfuges to keep up the delusion, thereby putting herseli! and her friends Into a very un comfortable position. The part of this enterprising lady is taken by Hazel Bennett. The part of her husband Is played by Grover Sibley, and Murrell Bennett takes the part of the young man who poses as her husband during the visit of Miss Emily Paisley, Bernice Sepanek, the aunt whose visit causes all the trou ble. EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Rev. Stanley Moore,. Mlssionary- ln-Charge. Holy Communion at 7:00 a. m. Chnrch school at 9:45 o'clock. Morning prayer and sermon at 11 The nineteenth annual convention of the Episcopal church in Eastern Oregon, held at Baker, was the best convocation that this district has yet had. Much progress has been made both spiritually and mater ially. The church is growing In its sense of spiritual stewardship as well as In numbers and in the amount of property It has acquired. Those who returned from the gen eral convention of the church, held In Washington, D. C, last October, brought back the real note of the convention which was personal evangelization and consecration. By personal evangelization they mean the kind of evangel by which in dividuals bring other Individuals to Christ Just as the early Christian church did. Everyone present at the convocation, we are sure, took away with them fresh hone and faith and a deeper love for Christ and his work. During the convention Rev. and Mrs. Stanley Moore were enter tained at the home of Mr. and Mrs Roger Morse, former residents of this city.

The Morrow County All-School Declamatory contest has grown to such proportions that next year It will probably be necessary to make a new arrangement for running It off, declares Jas. M. Burgess, su perintendent of the Heppner schools and president of the county declam atory league. Such a verdict was evidenced following the fourth an nual contest held at the local school auditorum Saturday, in which more schools were represented and more contestants entered than ever be fore. "Quality of the recitations was also undoubtedly in advance of for mer years," Mr. Burgess said, "In dicating a growth of interest That this Interest is county wide is shown by the distribution of prizes, which were won, not by one or two of the larger schools, but by many differ ent schools." Irrigon school carried off the most honors for a single school, re ceiving three first and one second prize, thus leaving Heppner and lone far in the rear. Lexington and Pine City in the high school selec tions showed remarkably well. A great deal of improvement was shown especially in the lower grade humorous section, comprising grades 1, 2, 3, and 4, Mr. Burgess de clared, while the oratorical selec tions of the high school division de serve special mention for the qual ity of the entire contest This does not mean that other sections were mediocre, but that these were out standing in selection and rendition. An amusing feature, cited by Mr. Burgess, was that from an equally divided number of boys and girls in the grade sections, all the prize winners were boys. Judges of the contest, Mrs. Theo. Kubik and Miss Blanche Reed of the Walla Walla public schools, and Alfred Lomax, professor from the University of Oregon, each express ed surprise at the quality of the pieces, and at time they found dis tinctions to be very slight between selections in the same class. A unique and unusual feature of the program was the -appearance of the Irrigon Club band, woich pleas ed immensely with their lively mu sic. This band Is composed entire ly of students of the Irrigon schools under the direction of Supt. R. J. Maaske. They showed lots of pep and zip and performed like veter ans. Morrow county may well be proud of this organization. , Prize winners, who received gold medals for first place and silver medals for seconds, are announced as follows: Division I. high school.

Mr. Clark has departed for Dayton, where he will be located for the future, his family to follow aa soon as school closes here. Like wise, the family of Mr. Wehmeyer will arrive at Heppner following the close of school at Dayton. The new ranger reports Borne two feet of snow inside the timber belt, and with the approach of warmer wea ther this will be melted rapidly, probably causing some rise in the streams. Oscar G. Rollins, assistant forest ranger on the Heppner district, re ported for duty the first of the month.

He will move some time in May to Ellis station where he will be located throughout the summer. Mrs. Rollins accom panied her husband back to the for est Elmer A.

Bleak man, Hinton and Rollins are re pairing telephone lines, rebuilding fences, cleaning out roads, main taining trails and doing the hun dred and one things necessary to place the forest in condition to meet the coming fire season. Camp fire permits will be neces sary for those who desire to make a camp within the forest The per mits may be obtained from any forest officer. Building a flre with out a permit is a misdemeanor and those who do so lay themselves li able to a stiff fine. Forest officials have been notified to enforce this regulation in a stringent manner. Elmer Hinton reports two feet of snow at Bull prairie. This ought to please the irrigationists but it isn't encouraging to the stockmen who have a five months' feeding season behind them. We are about to face another flre season. Everyone is asked to co operate in fire prevention and sup pression. The national forests are your forests. The costs of flre sup pression, based on all fires large and small, average $100.00 a fire. Taxes pay the bills. Sixty per cent and up of all fires are man caused. Hu man carelessness and cussedness. Taxes are already too high and we can help reduce them by being care ful with fire. Mighty little to it just be sure to put out that last spark, whether It's a match or a camp fire.

William Henry Farley Dies From Accident William Henry, 13 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Farley, of Boardman, died at St Anthony's hospital at Pendleton Saturday night from concussion of the brain, the result of a fall from a horse at the Farley farm on Friday, March 29. At first it was thought no ser ious Injury was sustained, as the boy seemed perfectly normal up until the Tuesday prior to his death, when he took a very sudden turn for the worse and on being rushed to the hospital at Pendleton it was found on x-ray examination that Ms skull was cracked at the base of the brain. The doctors at that time offered little hope for his re covery, and the lad became grad ually weaker until his life ebbed out on Saturday. Funeral services were held from St. Patrick's Catholic church at Heppner on Monday, morning and afternoon services being attended by a very large concourse of friends and relatives of the family. Rev. Thomas J. Brady, pastor of the church, officiated. Interment was in Heppner cemetery. William Henry Farley began life at Heppner, being born to Mr. and Mrs. Peter Farley on October 18, 1915.

A difference of nine errors Heppner 9, Condon 0 spelled defeat for the locals at Condon Sunday In the second Wheatland league game. A score which would have read Heppner 6, Condon 5, on earned runs, was thus changed to read Heppner 6, Condon 11. Heppner led off with four runs the first Inning a double by Thorn, DeVaney's walk, singles by Van Marter, LaMear and Drake, netting the tallies, combined with a squeeze play on which Drake was sent in by Van Marter, coaching at third. Van himself was caught attempting Marter walked, scoring on LaMear's single. Gentry fanned and Cason was out pitcher to first That was all the scoring till the fifth, when, with two away Van to score from second on LaMear's triple, who in turn scored on Drake's single. Then came the turn In a ball game. "Kewpie" Clow, who had been pitching mediocre ball, took a new lease on life when he himself clouted the longest hit of the day, a long drive over the center fielder's head, on which he trotted leisurely around the bases for a home run. Though he was Condon's first bats man in the fifth and there was no more scoring in that inning, from that time on he bore down hard and pitched a winning game. Heppner, feeling a little too se cure with their five-run lead when the sixth rolled around, were all unprepared for the assault to come. It was too hectic to tell in detail. Suffice it to say that 14 Condoners faced Drake in this inning, and a combination of eight hits and five errors resulted in nine tallies, four of which were earned. Another un earned run in the eighth gave Con don their 11 markers. It was a disagreeable day to play ball, cold and blustery, making pit ching especially difficult But in spite of this, and the nightmare in the sixth, It was a good ball game. Anderson, who umpired behind the bat kept the game moving along and was impartial. Hecker was base umpire and likewise did a good job.

High Wind Topples Scores in Trap Shoot Heppner's traps were exposed to high wind Sunday, causing the local team score to fall below 70 for the first time this year in the Oregonian state telegraphic trap shooting tournament Chas. Lat- ourell's was the only gun possess ing a wind gauge, and he broke 25, L. Van Marter and Lester Doo- little, the other two making the team, broke 21 and 20 respectively for a total of 66. Heppner's score was sufficient to defeat Helix, 63, but the locals lost to Huntington, 75, and Wasco, 68. Next Sunday the final lap of the preliminary elimination takes place with the locals meeting Portland, LaGrande and Eugene. The locals should still be able to keep within -the 15 high teams to participate in the shoot-off match, holding fourth place in last week's standings. The shoot-off for the 1929 leg of the Ore gonian trophy, which Heppner won the first year, will be held in Port land, May 4.
