of the family was large, and the
floral offerings were many and beau
tiful. 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.

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. Besides

THE MENACE OF MODERNISM.
There have been other days when
unbelief was more popular than to
day. But it Is certain that so-called
Modernism Is entrenched at the pre

that we may well pause to consider

LOCAL K HEMS
Mrs. Pauline Quaid came in from
her home at Portland on Monday,
spending a few days at Heppner
while closing up a deal for the dis
posal of the Quaid ranch on Balm
fork. Mrs. Quaid recently sold this
property to W. H. Cleveland of Wil
low creek. The ranch consists of
some 3600 acres and Includes the
original Quaid home and the Camp
bell place adjoining on the south.
Mr. Cleveland has thus added to his
holdings and now has one of the
best stock ranches in this commun
ity. In recent years the Quaid
ranch had been operated by Frank
Monahan in connection with his
ranch just east of Heppner. Mrs.
Quaid returned home today.
Edward McKay arrived from
Portland on Monday and will be a
guest at the home of Dr. and Mrs.
A. H. Johnston for some time while
recuperating from a severe attack
of influenza. Mr. McKay is a cou
sin of Dr. Johnston and when he
has sufficiently recovered his health
he will take a trip to the Orient
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Beymer were
in Heppner for a few days the first
of the week, being jcalled to the
city by the death of Mrs. Katherlne
Farnsworth, mother of Mrs. Bey
mer. They returned to their home
near Monument on Wednesday.
Mrs. Willard Farrens of lone who
has been very ill at her home there
and under the care of a special
nurse, is now reported to be some
better. Mrs. Ola Ward of Lexing
ton has been caring for Mrs. Far
rens. Karl W. Farnsworth, who is wa-
termaster of Wallowa county, came

residents of the lone section, were
visitors here on Wednesday.
County Clerk Anderson was a vis
itor In Pendleton on Wednesday.
Roy Nelll, Pine City ranchman,

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.

selck, Mr. and Mrs. Wattenburger,
at Pine City.
"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.

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.

1929 DECLAMATORY
MEET BIGGEST YET
Prize Winners Come from
All Over County; Go
to Pendleton Next.
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. ,

New Forest Ranger
Arrives; Other Notes
F. F. Wehmeyer, new district
ranger for Heppner, is on the job
and getting acquainted with his
duties In this part of the Umatilla
forest He takes the place of Geo.
Clark, and comes from Dayton,
Wash. 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. Mr. Rolins is stationed tem
porarily at Dixon ranger station
where he is in charge of spring
maintenance work. 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. Hinton, fireman, who
has been on duty at the Bull prairie
ranger station for the past several
years, Is back on the Job. Mrs. Hin
ton will join him soon and will
spend the summer at Bull prairie.
Kenneth Bleakman, fireman, sta
tioned at Ditch creek, reported for
duty on the 15th. Messrs. 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. At the time of death he was
aged 13 years, 6 months and 4 days.
His untimely death came as a se
vere shock to his loved ones, and
many friends, who have the sym
pathy of the entire community in
tnelr sorrow.
CARD OF THANKS.
To all those who so kindly assist
ed us during the suffering and
death of our beloved son, William
Henry, and for the many expres
sions of sympathy and beautiful
floral offerings, we give our heart
felt thanks. Especially do we thank
the kind people of Boardman for
their aid and sympathy.

work on the Willow creek road is
now progressing. The crew is at

Track Meet Nets Nine
Markers to Overcome
5-Run Lead.
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.
