ARLINGTON VICTOR
UVER HEPPNER, 7-4
Snappy Brand of Ball
Displayed by Team
For First Time.
NEXT SUNDAY'S GAMES
lone at Heppner, Fossil at Arlington,
Wasco at Condon.
Playing the snappiest brand of
ball seen this season on the local
diamond, the Heppner nine held the
winning Arlington aggregation to
seven runs, while it garnered four.
The errors made by the locals were
noticeably fewer, but those that
were made came at times when
they permitted the opponents to
make them good for runs. Soden's
work on the mound contributed in
considerable measure toward the
visitors' victory. The locals got on
base frequently, but couldn't seem
to connect in the pinches, when one
hit would have meant a run or
more. If the boys continue to im
prove as they did in this game,
Heppner will see some mighty fine
ball games before the curtain drops
on the 1930 season.
Three three-baggers by Arlington
and a homer, triple and double by
Heppner batsmen during the game
brought the fans to their feet With
six of the 18 hits being good for
more than one base, it was a lively
fray.
Arlington scores were made with
two in the first inning and one each
in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh. During the three innings
in which Arlington did not score no
hits were allowed. Heppner's tallies
came one each in the first fourth,
sixth and seventh. Likewise the
locals had no hits to their credit in
innings during which no runs were
made.

New Crop Dominating
In Wheat Situation
The condition and probable pro
duction of new-crop wheat is now
the dominant factor in the wheat
situation, according to the Oregon
State college extension service. It
seems unlikely that there will be a
bumper world wheat crop for 1930
1931, but supplies of old wheat are
ample and economic conditions in
the principal importing countries
are unfavorable. Several of these
countries have raised their tariff
walls against foreign wheat For
instance, it now costs 73 cents plus
freight and handling to get United
States wheat into Italy. France has
a wheat tariff of 54 cents, Sweden
27 cents, and Germany 78 cents. It
is estimated that the European con
tinent will import about 257,000.000
bushels of wheat during the 1929
1930 season, compared to 390,000,000
bushels in the 1928-1929 year.
United States wheat crop reports
indicate a reduced output of soft
red winter and white wheats, which
may result in such wheat being
marketable at relatively higher pri
ces compared to the principal ex
port classes of wheat during the
current marketing season. India
is expected to have around 10,000,
000 or 12,000,000 bushels of wheat
mostly of white varieties, for ex
port just a few million more than
last year unless prices .should
reach high levels in which case 20,
000,000 bushels might be shipped
out
Exportable supplies of southern
hemisphere wheat are unusually
small and stocks in importing coun
tries are low, but North American
holdings continue large. Buyers and
sellers are watching new-crop devel
opments and guiding their policies
accordingly. (A weekly wheat mar
ket review is broadcast over KOAC
on Saturday at 6:45 p. m.)
Literary Club Elects
New Group of Officers
Mrs. Glen Jones was elected pres
ident, Mrs. Walter E. Moore, vice
president and Mrs. Fred Lucas, sec
retary-treasurer, of the Women s
Literary club, at a meeting of that
organization held Saturday after
noon in the American Legion hall.
No meetings will be held until Sep
tember. The next meeting will be
held at the home of Mrs. Glen Jones
at which a potluck dinner will be
served. At this meeting the study
of Oregon history, which has been
in progress during the past season
will be concluded.
The Saturday program included a
piano solo, "Flying Leaves," played
by Miss , Jeanette Turner. Mrs.
Frank Turner gave an article on
the Indians. Mrs. George Moore
also gave an article about the In
dians. Mrs. Walter E. Moore sang
a vocal solo. The local club is now
afliliated with the Eastern Oregon
Federation of Women's clubs.
GARAGES RIFLED.
Three garages in Heppner were
rifled Wednesday night, the thieves
getting away with only small
change in each case. Entering Fer
guson's garage through a side win
dow, prowlers took nearly $20 from

Artesion Well Dedication
Important Event in
City's History.
HEPPNER SETS PACE
Delegates to State Convention at
Bend Report Enjoyable Time
During Two Day.
The Fourth of July celebration at
the forks of Willow creek In con
nection with the dedication of Hepp
ner s new artesian well was given
the hearty endorsement of the Lions
at their meeting Monday. The
Lions club, representing a cross sec
tion of fraternal orders and busi
ness interests of the city, was unan
imous in its approval of holding the
entire celebration at the well site.
The only question raised was that
in case the celebration paid a profit,
what would be done with the money.
A motion was unanimously passed
favoring the placing of such profits
in a fund to be applied toward the
erection of a fountain at the source
of the city's fine new water supply.
It was the sense of the Lions that
the obtaining of artesian water of
such excellent quality is one of the
biggest boons ever to hit the city,
and that the occasion in recognition
of it should be an outstanding event
in the city's history. To this end
the club will give its wholehearted
cooperation.
