Fire Destroys Ball
Residence on Rhea
Creek Monday P.M.
Sparks on Roof
Fanned Into Flame
By Wind Storm
Fire apparently starting from
sparks emitting from a trash
burner connected to the gas
range set fire to. the A. C. Ball
residence on Rhea creek late
Monday afternoon destroying the
house and all nearby buildings
before it ran its course. Only
the barn and sheepshed which
were some distance from the
house were spared.
Mrs. Ball and little son, Archie
Jr., were alone in .the house at
the time. She had lighted a fire
in the trash burner in starting
preparations for the evening
meal. Noticing what she at first
thought was dust kept getting
blacker she investigated and
found the roof was on fire. Mr.
Ball was in a field some distance
from the house and out of sight
and did not reach the fire until
after neighbors and people from
town arrived.
A few personal effects were
carried out but house and prac
tically all contents were destroy
ed. Some insurance was carried.
Mrs. Ball and the children
were housed in town until ar
rangements could be made to
move into the bunk house where
the family will make out until
a new house can be built. Mrs.
E. R. Shaffer brought a camp
outfit from Cecil to aid in fur
nishing the temporary quarters.
Students Display
Talents at Annual
Speech Festival
Students from five schools of
the county met at lone Tuesday
in the annual speech festival,
with the lone school acting as
host. Both high school and grade
groups participated in what to
the teachers proved a very sat
isfactory festival.
Pertinent subjects were sub
mitted for the panel discussions.
including, "Should Oregon have
a-sales tax? , "A grade point
average of 3 should be required
before a student Is eligible to
participate in school activities
"Should Orientals be permitted
to become citizens of the United
States?", and "What advantages
and disadvantages result from
consolidation of school dis
tricts?" Reresentatives from each
of the county's five high schools
took part in the panel discus
sions, which were rated by a
committee of teachers.
One best speaker from each
. school was chosen to speak on
the panel at the evening pro
gram,, the subject being "What's
wrong with teaching as a car
eer?" The day's program included
one-act plays by three high
schools and two grade schools.
Of these Heppner and lone high
- schools and Boardman grade
school repeated their plays in
the evening.
Participants In the evening
panel were Robert Buchanan,
Lexington; Ross Doherty, lone;

Delay in Hospital
Construction Seen
Due to Financing
Delay in construction of the
Morrow county hospital is seen
by officials if the type of build
ing wanted is adhered to. Some
investigation made the past
week by P. W. Ma honey for the
county court brought to light the
fact that outside assistance look
ed forward to, a federal grant,
can not possibly be obtained ear
lier than July 1, 1948.
Mahoney went to Portland to
see what could be done about
getting this county's name on
the list of hospitals seeking fed
eral aid. He learned that while
the legislature appropriated $22,
000 for the purpose of making a
survey of the state to determine
how much federal money will be
required, the survey has not even
started and when it does it will
require several months to cover
the state, and there is no assur
ance as yet that the local pro
ject would receive one-third of
cost grant upon which the latest
plans for the building are based.
There has been some criticism
of the court and hospital com
mittee because actual construc
tion is not under way but Ma
honey says if those inclined to
offer criticism will look into the
situation carefully they will un
derstand the officials' position.

Heppner Extension
Unit Accepts Invite
To Country Home
Mrs. Ralph Thompson has in
vited the Heppner home exten

meeting on Thursday, May 8, at
1:30 p.m. at her country home.
This meeting will be conduct
ed by Miss Jean Williams, rec
reational specialist of the Ore
gon State college extension staff.
The project on flower arrange
ment which is one of the most
interest projects where empha
sis will be placed on original
arrangements. A specialist tries
to visit each unit in the county
at least once a year. The women
have been very interested to at
tend Miss Williams' meetings.
She was in Morrow county in
December to train the project
leaders on pny planning, and
again on Homcmakers day when
she led the recreation merri
ment of "Fun For All."
The women with or without
transportation will assemble at
the Lucas place at 1:00 p.m. to

The above drawing was made

drawn by F. M. Crawford of the
Tum-ALum Lumber company
at Walla Walla and is the art

posed permanent memorial to
the Gold Star veterans of Mor

the building is completed.
Through the efforts of the Ju

Heppner, dedicated to the mem
ory of those who gave their all
in the defense of their country
and to the living who helped
gain the victory. First step in
the plan has been to secure a
site, and the second has been
type of building and estimated
cost.
Plans call for a completely
equipped building to start with
eral assembly room for any and
all civic and county functions; a
youth center, and rest rooms for
ladies having leisure time while
in town shopping.
Estimated cost of the struc
ture has been placed at $40,000.
This figure is based on the pos
sibility of being able to get
much of the material at cost and
perhaps some good will labor,

Heppner's Errors
Prove Expensive in
Game With Condon
Another Scoring
Record Made When
Condon Wins, 22-21
Home runs and 2-3 base hits
were almost a dime a dozen Sun
day when Heppner and Condon
crossed bats on the Condon field.
It was a track meet as to base
running and a basketball game
as to scoring 22-21 in Condon's
favor.
Aided by a high wind and
abetted by Heppner errors, the
Gilliam county boys just had to
win. Heppner started the circus
by pulling five errors in the
first inning, giving Condon six
runs on one hit. The Blakemen
ran four men across the home
plate in their half of the first,
but those errors put them behind
the eight ball and the best they
ever did was to pull into a tie
in the first half of the ninth. In
Condon's half at bat, a home run
cinched the game.
Heppner made 13 errors, got
20 hits and scored 21 runs.
Al Massey made two home
runs and Kenny Hoyt one for
Heppner. Potter, Shaffer, Burch
and Gosney made one each for
Condon. Ray Massey made two
triples.
Miller started the game for
Heppner, pitching four innings,
and retired in favor of Stouten-
berger. Ashenfeltcr hurled the
first five innings for Condon, re
tiring in favor of Burns.
Players and fans state that a
high wind sweeping over the
field made fielding difficult, but
it was a boon to the batters.

Arlington All Set
For Initial Rodeo
Saturday-Sunday
Top Hands Headed
For River Town to
Compete for Prizes
Under auspices of the Arling
ton Saddle club a rodeo will
be held at Arlington Saturday
and Sunday, May 3 and 4. Man
agers of the two-day show are
Howard jonnson ana ijiies rar
man, Condon rodeo stock owners.
A new arena and bucking chutes
have been constructed one-half
mile south of Arlington on the
John Day highway.
Arlington is now dressed in
rodeo attire with street banners
and window decorations in pre
paration for its first rodeo. Invi
tations have been extended to
all riding clubs in the immedi
ate vicinity to participate in the
event and in daily parades thru
Arlington. Goldendale, The Dal
les and Moro riding clubs are
to be present for the celebra
tion.
A rodeo queen Is being select
ed at Arlington Friday. Five con
testants are running neck-and-
neck for the title. They are June
Ann Huntley, Dorothy Seeley,
Maxine Zastrow, Mildred Cim
miyotti and Nedra Weatherell.
Attendants, in addition to the
four losing girls in this contest,
will be sent from Condon, Fossil,
Heppner, The Dalles and Goldendale.
Due to the fact this is one of
the larger rodeos sponsored in
eastern Oregon in the early
spring, a large number of world-
famous rodeo and round-up men
have signified their intention of
participating for the prizes. In
Gilliam county there are also a
number of young men, such as
the Johnson boys, Verne Evans
Pete Wheelhouse and others who
have been taking prizes through
out the country the past several
weeks, who will take part.
The rodeo grounds were built
by the Arlington Saddle club,
which was organized this past
winter. Roy Wheelhouse of Ar
lington is president, Roy Philip
pi of Blalock, vice president, and
Virgil Woelpern of Blalock, secretary-treasurer.
Voters of Heppner will go to
the polls Tuesday morning to
decide a matter of vital Import
ance to the city whether or not
the council shall be empowered
to issue $75,000 worth of water
improvement bonds. The polls
will open at 8 a.m. at the coun
cil room In the city building,
and remain open until 5 p.m.
The voting will be on a reso
lution calling for a charter am
endment authorizing the issu
ance of water bonds for the pur
pose of providing funds with
which to build a reservoir, and
repair, extend and improve the
water system and water pipe
lines of the city in the above
sum, and the bonds shall be the
direct general obligations of the
city.
Time has been short for pre
paring for the election and there
likewise has been no campaign
ing. The mayor and council, ex
tending back into the term of
J. O. Turner and passed on to
Mayor Conley Lanham and new
councilmen, have studied the
water situation for several years,
realizing that each year the job
of rebuilding the water system
is delayed makes the task that
much greater. L. R. Stockman,
engineer of Baker, was employ
ed to make a survey of the wa
ter plant and he recommended
a reservoir and general repair of
the line. The city had already
purchased several thousand feet
of mains to relay worn out sec
tions in the city. It is now desir
ed to put through all of this
work and it can be started very
shortly if the voters give their
approval to the bond issue.
The present improvement plan
involves considerably less fund
ing than the rebuilding of the
water system when the line was
run to the city well at the forks
of Willow creek. It is pointed
out that the demand is urgent
for a bigger supply and that
without it further growth of the
town will be hampered. Imme
diate demands are sufficient to
warrant an increase and the ca
pacity must be boosted to give
assurance to those who would
make homes here in the future.
The chief concern of the city
officials is the indifference of
voters. It is felt if a large seg
ment of the population is rep
resented at the polls the resolu
tion will carry. Efforts will be
directed towards getting out the
vote.
A. W. Jones and Alex Green
will serve as judges, C. R. Mc
Alister, S. J. Devine and R. B.
Rice as clerks of the election.

Telephone Company Seeks
Increase of Rates in Oregon
MAN HELD HERE FOR
WHEELER AUTHORITIES
Arnold Ivan Reed was arrest
ed Tuesday and placed in the
Morrow county jail on complaint
of Lester Maley of Fossil. Reed
was charged with taking a jeep
without the consent of tho ow
ner and was driving along the
Gooseberry road when appre
hended by Sheriff C. J. D. Bau-man.
Reed, who gave his address
as both Fossil and Hermiston,
F. D. Tellwright, vice presi
dent and general manager for
Oregon for The Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company, an
nounced the first filing in more
than 25 years for a state-wide
general increase in telephone
rates with the Public Utilities
Commissioner of Oregon.
"Our problem is that pre-war
prices are not enough to meet
post-war costs," said Mr. Tell
wright. "We have made every effort
to get along on present rates be
fore asking for price relief and
we now are asking for only what
is essential to meet current costs
and keep our credit sound.
"Although our revenues from
our Oregon operations have
more than doubled since 1910
our costs have climbed even fas
ter. Costs of buildings, equip
ment and supplies of all kinds
have Increased tremendously
Our payroll, which represents
was turned over to the sheriff
of Wheeler county who took him two-thirds of our operating ex
to Fossil for a hearing, pense, has more than tripled
since the pre-war year of 1940,
ilue to higher wage rates and
more employees."
The company reported that its
earnings on intra-state plant in
vestment have dropped rapldlv
-the last half of 1916 being 45
percent below 1945.
"Rates in most of our ex
changes were set in 1921," Mr.
Tellwright continued, "but rates
set as far back as 1921 are not
enough for 1947 costs. It is only
as a last resort that we are ask
ing for an increase now to bal
ance the tremendous upsurge in
telephone expenses.
"We are faced with the neces
sity of making large capital ex
penditures $25,000,000 in Ore
gon in 1917 alone to catch up
with plant and equipment short
ages and to meet the demands
of thousands of people who have
applied for telephones. To raise
the required capital it is a mat
ter of utmost Importance in the
public interest that our credit
position be maintained on a
sound basis."
tone. Weak points were lack of
advancement, immaturity, and
lack of experience (volume, rich
ness of tone, balance, etc.).
John Stehn, director of the Uni
versity of Oregon band, offered
this comment: "A musical ap
proach to music. Results largely
ineffective due to the lack of ad
vancement of the players. Nice
control of tone; quality of the
band as a whole quite good.
Good dynamics. It's a very com
mendable job for a band in this
stage of development. Expect re
sults of apparently careful re
hearsing to show In another
year. He commended the sax
ophones, bass, solo comets and
tho baritone and suggested that
the director build up the middle
of the band horns, trombones,
clarinets, etc. for the future.
Director Cochell complimented
the members of the band for
their exemplary conduct at the
festival.
