Where the Teams Play Next Sunday Heppner at Fossil, Condon at Heppner CCC, Blalock at lone. With the score tied nine-all at the end of the ninth Inning, Hepp ner's Wheatland leaguers pounced on Jimmy Ogilvy, Condon chucker, for seven hits and as many runs to put the game on Ice in the tenth. Both teams attempted to give away the game several times. After tak ing an early 5-run lead, Heppner gave Condon a tally advantage In the seventh, and It was anybody's ball game until the last inning fiasco. Manager Fred Hoskins' gang kept in the lead of the percentage column by virtue of the win, while CCC and Fossil were taking their second games against lone and Blalock, respectively, to share top honors. Next Sunday Heppner will journey to Fossil to see which can hold the lead. Lowell Turner took long-distance hitting honors for the locals at Condon, whamming out a circuit clout with the bases unoccupied in the third. It would have gone for a home run in any ball park, going high over the center fielder's head, and by the time that gentleman had got in calling distance of it, Turner had crossed the plate. Two snappy double plays helped offset some of the looser moments. In the fourth, Gordon Bucknum took O'Rourke's hot line drive and doubled Parrish off first base. The Inning before, Sammy Baker on short started a double on Akers' grounder, throwing to Hess at sec ond to catch Bucknum, Hesa re laying to Burns at first to stop Akers. Blankenship, who had allowed but five hits, turned over the mound to Ray Massey in the seventh, while Ogilvy went the route for Condon. He had little trouble of his own making until the tenth when most of the Heppner batsmen walked up and clouted the first pitched ball safely. It was a bad day for third base men on both sides, as errors at that position accounted for most of the unearned tallies. Twenty-five or thirty Heppner rooters were on hand to back the home team.

The big music event climaxed the school May Day activities, which included spelling and athletic con tests.

Watermaster Orve Rasmus an nounced the installation this week of a siphon in the second well at the forks of Willow creek, and wa ter from the two wells was suffi cient to again fill the reservoir. He appealed for the development of more water, however, for as soon as Irrigation is resumed on a large scale he was certain the present supply would be Inadequate. The matter is in the hands of the water committee. It was discussed free ly at the meeting, but no definite action was taken. That work of relaying the mile and three-quarters of the main pipe line down Willow creek, authorized as a PWA project, will be held up until after the middle of June, was announced, due to Irrigating In the alfalfa fields which must be crossed.

COUNTY FARMERS TO MAKE JUNKET Agricultural Agent Will Conduct Large Group on Tour of Doug las County, Wash. On Monday and Tuesday, May 11 and 12, a caravan of Morrow and Gilliam county farmers will tour Douglas county. Wash., observing blow control measures which have been followed in that section. Ac cording to word which has been received from Waterville, that sec toin was comparatively free from blows this year due almost entirely to the farming methods which men In that section have used. Con ditions in Morrow and Gilliam counties this year have shown clearly that the control of blows is vital to continued farming on the lighter lands. Much has been done by individuals and by group action, especially in the North Lex ington Erosion Control district, but admittedly, this work has been of an emergency nature. Last year the directing commit tee of this district went to Water ville to observe conditions and It is due to this committee's opinion of the value of that trip that the tour this year has been arranged. The tour proper will begin at 8 o'clock at the courthouse at Water ville on Tuesday morning, May 12. in order to be oh hand at this hour those making the trip are planning to stay in Wenatchee, Monday night, May 1L This will leave onlv a short 28-mile rn on good roads to reach Watervilie the next morn ing. Men making the trio can leave at therl convenience Monday to reacn wenatchee some time Monday afternoon or evening. Af ter tne tour on Tuesday all cars can, of course, take any route they wish. In most cases it will be pos sible to arrive home some time Tu esday evening. By riding four or Ave to the car it will be possible to cut the transportation cost to a minimum. The committee urges that every one make this trip who possibly can arrange to get away. TO HAVE FOOD SALE. The American Legion auxiliars met Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. Spencer Crawford.
