G tte Cum iot Volume 46, Number 8. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1929. Subscription $2.00 a Year SWIMMING TANK OPENING ASSURED Council Appropriates $350 to Help; New Reservoir Accepted Monday. Appropriation of $350 by the city council Monday evening assures the opening of the American Legion swimming tank this Bummer. The action was taken following the pre sentation of a petition sponsored by the Patron-Teacher association and signed by all the leading fraternal orders of the city, asking that the legion boys open the tank and that , the city give what aid it might see fit Agitation for opening the tank began when the legion boys an nounced that they would be unable to open it because of lack of funds needed to put the tank in condition. The last two years they have opera ted It at a loss. The P. T. A. took up the cause because of the great! benefit derived by the boys and girls through use of the tank, and other organizations immediately fell in line. The American Legion Auxiliary to help sponsor the move gave a benefit dance at the Elks temple Friday evening, from which a con siderable sum was derived. The B. P. O. E. have promised a $50 dona tion as soon as the tank Is opened, to help defray expenses. A lack of water for filling the tank was a serious obstacle to its operation for the last two years. The legion boys, unable to pay the regular water rate, were given only the overflow with which to fill the tank and at times It was not possi ble to change It oftener than every two weeks. It was the sense of members of various committees who appeared before the council, as well as all councilmen who ex pressed themselves, that the swim ming tank is so vital to the life of the community In the summer time, that, if necessary, a day or so of irrigation during the dry season might be foregone In- order that the tank be filled. To make this possible the tank may be taken over as a municipal enterprise, though management will remain In the hands of the legionnaires. To help in the repair work at the tank, which will include new deck ing, dressing rooms, rest rooms and sputum trough, Mayor McCarty has offered to declare a half holi day when all the citizens of the city who will, may turn out and assist. This will be done as soon as the leg ion boys are ready to begin opera tions. , The council also accepted the new reservoir at its Monday meeting, the work being satisfactory in ev ery way. Both L. R. Stockman, engineer in charge, and W. E. Pruyn, watcrmsater, declared they were well pleased with It The re servoir has been full of water for more than a week with all outlets closed and no leakage has been dis covered, the water having gone down but slightly from evaporation and settling. The next move In the waterworks Improvement campaign, following another action of the council, will be the investigation of springs above the forks of Willow creek to find out If a large enough flow can be obtained to furnish the city an abundance of water at all seasons. The council previously set aside a sum of money for this purpose, though the work will not be started until later in the season. Bills paid at the meeting includ ed claims by T. O. Denisse and oth ers for deepening and enlarging the channel of the creek on Cannon street, and building the new bridge at the Intersection of Chase and Cannon. The bridge of concrete abutments and wood span is now completed. The council also order ed that fills be made at the new bridge on Elder street to eliminate a hazard that now exists. In the matter of appointing a box ing commission on petition with one hundred signers presented by C. J. D. Bauman, sheriff, the council or dered J. J. Nys, city attorney, to draft an ordinance covering same which will be taken up at a mld- . month meeting on May 20. The commission was asked for that the holding of smokers In the city may be legalized. "Beau Geste" Feature of American Legion Night American Legion Night at the Star theater, Wednesday, May 15, will be featured by the showing of "Beau Geste," the famous plcturt zation of the activities of the French Foreign Legion.

Arlington played in the usual luck of a cellar club at Rodeo field Sun day, scoring but two runs on a total of nine hits, while Heppner took the game on four runs and as many hits.

"Bub" Bleakman, out of town for the day, was succeeded in right field by his cousin Dale, who proved himself a hustler. "Toots" Montague, whose whis kers have grown long in the ser vices of Arlington ball clubs, was on the mound for the visitors for the first time this season, and showed many Indications of his old-time form. His control wasn't as good it once was, however, and this was largely responsible for his team's defeat. Mitch" Thorn, first batter to face "Toots" made the initial Heppner tally. He walked, went second on Montague's wild throw to first and scored on a passed ball. Thorn also made the second tally on his second trip up. First up In the third he socked a two-bagger, went third and scored on fielder's choices by De Vaney and Drake. A squeeze play by Cason in the fourth netted the third tally.

A mod ern play with plenty of comedy. Public taBte In entertainment, Just as In dress, automobiles, col leges, and religions, varies from one decade to the next, and some times from year to year. For the last few years the play has truly been the thing. "The Cleanup," which Is the play for the opening night of this year's Chautauqua, is a comedy, and it is a comedy without the objectionable lines or sentences found In bo many new modern plays. Jn other words, It Is Chautauqua type. This is an Memorial Day Plans Nearing Completion Plans of Heppner , Post No. 87, American Legion, for the observ ance of Memorial Day, are rapidly nearing completion. Hon. Frances Galloway, district attorney of Was co county and prominent Legion naire of The Dalles, has been en gaged as the speaker of the day. Mr. Galloway is an orator of charm and ability, and it is hoped there will be a large audience to do him honor. Other numbers of the pro gram, consisting of musical selec tions and readings, are in course of preparation. The ceremony at the cemetery will be in charge of the post firing squad, assisted by mem bers of the Woman s Relief Corps, the Auxiliary and the Campflre girls, and will include Memorial services for the soldier dead, dec orating the graves with flowers and firing of salute over the graves. A working party from the Legion will shape up the graves of veterans and clean up the alleys adjoining, so that the last resting place of the departed defenders of bur country will present a soldierly appearance. The program will be held at the Star theater, and the hour has been tentatively set for 10:30 a. m.

Heppner lost the game at lone last Friday afternoon 2-1 In the closest game of the series. If lone wins tomorrow's game they will play the winner of the Arlington-Condon high school division for the district championship. How ever, should Heppner win, still an other game will be necessary to de cide which of the two teams will be entitled to the privilege.

The games so far have attracted good crowds and it is expected the larg est crowd yet will witness tomor row's game. BROTHER DIES IN DAKOTA. W. P. Mahoney, vice president of the First National bank of this city, received the sad intelligence on Tu esday of the sudden passing of his brother, John O. Mahoney at his home in Bathgate, North Dakota.

Mcintosh of Oregon State college. Mrs. Mahoney was highly compli mentcd on the quality of her work. important item with Chautauqua audiences. It is almost impossible in these days of problem plays and crime plays for the ordinary com munity to see a constructive play outside of Chautauqua. "The Cleanup' is entirely up to date and is the story of women and politics. The heroine runs' for mayor against her husband. She shocks her other friends and horri fies the city generally. She also confounds some of the politicians and finally wins the election. It makes a great evening's enter tainment, and the whole Chautau qua costs no more than the one play would cost in a city theatre.
