Whore the Teams Play Next Sunday
Heppner vs. CCC at home, lone
at Fossil, Blalock at Condon.
Heppner lost its big opportunity
to dump the league-leading Fossil
tonlans Sunday at Rodeo field when
the invaders came up to bat in the
first inning and touched Ray Mas
sey for egiht runs. Massey allowed
only four safe hits but his wildness
gave two safeties on walks and an
other when he hit a batsman, Rod
Thomson took over the chucking
in the second inning and gave a
nice exhibition. He and Kelsay for
the visitors each struck out twelve
batsmen. Overcoming the huge
Fossil lead proved a hopeless task,
however, as the visitors got across
three more runs in the remaining
innings to equal the total acquired
by the home lads. The game ended
11-3.
Sunday's victory gives Fossil un
disputed title to first place with no
chance of being headed, while Hepp
ner"a defeat throws her into a second-place
tie with Condon. Only
two games remain in the scheduled
series, though Heppner and Con
don have a postponed game yet to
play, as have also lone and Bla
lock. The Ione-Blalock game was
called off Sunday because of the
large exodus of lone ball players
to the Umatilla county pea fields.
More than thirty lone boys are re
ported as being engaged in the pea
harvest in the Athena section. There
were enough ball players among
them to get together a pick-up team
last Sunday and beat an undefeat
ed Athena team 1-0 In a seven-inning
game.
Manager Fred Hoskins of the lo
cals announces a ball game sched
uled with Pendleton's Blue Moun
tain league Buckaroos to be played
In the Round-Up city next Thursday
evening, and the local club has also
accepted the Invitation of Condon
to play there July 4.

Ralph Corrigall Dies
Suddenly of Pneumonia
Funeral services are being held
from the Elks temple at 2 o'clock
this afternoon for Ralph Corrigall,
38, well known sheepmftn of the
Butter creek section, who died on
Tuesday morning at St. Anthony's
hospital, Pendleton, from an attack
of pneumonia. Last rites are be
ing conducted by Heppner lodee
358, B. P. O. Elks with arrange
ments in charge of Phelps Funeral
home, and Rev. Joseph Pope deliv
ering the funeral address. Inter
ment is being made in Masonic cem
etery.
Mr. Corrigall took suddenly ill
on Saturday, June 6, and though he
was rushed to the hospital within
three hours from the time he took
II, the ravages of the disease proved
too great for him to overcome.
He was born February 1 1898, at
the Butter creek home of M. S. and
Isabella Corrigall, pioneer residents
of that section. His boyhood days
were spent on the farm and he at
tended grade school at the Butter
creek school house, later attending
nign senool at Columbia Junior
college at Milton. He assisted his
father in running the large Corri
gall sheep interests until his fath
er's death when he operated inde
pendently and assisted in taking
care of his mother's interests.
He married Gladys Howell of
Hardman In 1930, and for a time
the family residence was made at
that place, though most of the time
was spent on the Butter creek farm.
Surviving besides the widow are the
mother, Mrs. Isabella Corrigall;
three sisters, Mrs. T. J. O'Brien of
Echo, Mrs. Fred Hoskins of lone
and Mrs. Wilbur Gorley of Hepp
ner, and a cousin, Herbert Corri
gall of Westfall, Ore.
Ralph Corrigall was ever con
sidered a good neighbor, and was
of generous nature. He leaves a
wide circle of friends who regret
his untimely passing.

Survey Looks to Federal
Project on Range Water
Data showing the vital need for
wells, dams, reservoirs and other
water projects that will greatly in
crease the value of vast areas of
range land in eastern Oregon will
be included in the water resources
survey now under way in Oregon,
it was announced by Ormond R.
Bean, chairman of the Oregon state
planning board.
P. M. Brandt, head of the depart
ment of animal husbandry of Ore
gon State college, is now in eastern
Oregon personally conducting the
survey. He is already familiar with
grazing and other problems of this
section of the state, and he will
personally designate sites where
water developments are badly need
ed. Mr. Brandt is secretary of the
planning board's eastern Oregon
land use committee, which has al
ready taken up study of this pro
ject. Areas to be investigated by Mr.
Brandt are located in Lake, Har
ney, Malheur, Deschutes, Crook,
Morrow and Jefferson counties.
The water resources survey of
Oregon will be a part of the na
tional project sponsored by the Na
tional Resources committee, at the
request of President Roosevelt It
is hoped that inclusion of data on
water needs of eastern Oregon will
eventually lead to development of
these projects by the federal gov
ernment. At many places range can only
be used a part of the year at pres
ent, and necessitates expensi 'e
movement of stock. Much grazing
land often suffers, not only from
crowding of stock but by tramping.
It is pointed out. If the land coul 1
be used the year around, it would
not only better conditions for stock
raising, but would make adminis
tration of the Taylor grazing act
more efficient, Mr. Brandt points
out. Cooperation of the grazing
administration will be enlisted for
the work.

Mitchell, together with D. E. Steph

Every farm operator, regardless
of where he is located or the type

County Court Makes Rec

TO OIL LEX-JARMON
State Expecta to do Work on Low
er Route; Delegation Visits
Milton Pea Cannery-
Morrow county's apportionment
of federal and state road money
will be placed on the Heppner-Con-
don and Heppner-Spray roads if
recommendation of the county court
made before the state highway
commission at Pendleton Friday
evening is complied with. All mem
bers of the commission, engineer
and secretary and Governor Mar
tin attended the Pendleton hearing.
Those in attendance from here in
cluded W. T. Campbell, judge;
George N. Peck and Frank S. Par
ker, commissioners, and Harry
Tamblyn, county engineer.
Practical assurance was given the
local delegation that oiling of the
Lexington - Jarmon market road
would be proceded with in the fall
with the probability that the state
would do the work itself. On the
first opening of bids, all bids were
rejected. Little possibility was held
that the work would be completed
in time to be of benefit for wheat
hauling this season, however.
A delegation was present from
Gilliam county and offered the co
operation of that county in building
its end of the Heppner-Condon road
but asked that the state take over
construction of the Burton Wilson
grade.
Definite word was not given as to
whether the county's apportionment
of the federal-state money would
all be used for new construction or
whether part of it might go for
maintenance.
The local delegation left here
early and went on through to Mil
ton in the morning where they were
conducted through the pea cannery.
The season had not quite reached
its peak when it was estimated at
least 600 people would be employed
in the industry there. , They also
made a trip through some of the
fields where the peas were being
harvested, and saw the separators
at work.
Speed, they learned, is a prime
requisite in handling the peas as
not more than 12 hours is permitted
to elapse from the time the vines
are cut until the pears are in the
can.
Judge Campbell has arranged a
junket of business men and farmers
from this section to make a sim
ilar tour of inspection next Satur
day and has extended an invitation
for all interested to attend.
