As a matter of fact, the score indi cates a pretty good game 6 to 4 with Heppner taking the hon ors on hits and Hermiston donig the honors on runs. Schoonover, Hermiston twirl er, allowed nine hits with which Heppner was able to muster up four runs. On the other hand, he struck out 17 Heppner bat ters. Massey, pitching a good game for Heppner, stopped the visit ors with four hits, yet they went on to win. Broadfoot smashed out a three-bagger which might have been only a two-bag run had not the ball hit a pole in the corral fence and bounced back onto the baseball field. Had it gone through the fence he would have been limited to two bases. Interest was added to t he game with the addition of a sound wagon to announce the results of each play. The jun ior chamber of commerce pro vided the wagon and LaVeme Van Manor emceed. Cloo Drake of lone umpired.

Carloadings Show Decrease During Present Month Wheat Gone From Branch; Lumber Holding Up Well Carloadings out of Heppner decreased during the month of May, a summary by the freight office at the Union Pacific de pot shows. With wheat being cleared from the elevators ear ly in the month the volume has dropped appreciably, according to A. R. Shamblyn, freight clerk. Wool is being shipped out at present, according to Shamblyn, but this commodity doesn't cit the figure in carloadings on the branch that it once did, what with flockmasters retiring from the business as they have been since the early days of the war. Seventeen cars of cattle have gone from the local yards dur ing the month. Of these, Fred Hoskins shipped three cars to Duncan for summer pasture; Jess Foster shipped three cars to Enterprise for the same pur pose; Frank Wilkinson shipped one car, Harry Dinges two and Cornett Green two to the River side Livestock Feeding Co., Port land. Charles Walsh also ship tied two cars from the Heppner yards. Lumber remains the heavy cargo from the Heppner termin al. Up to Tuesday of this week, 85 cars had been shipped. At present the shipments are from I he local mills, Heppner Lumber company, Scritsmier's Re id Lumber company, and Big Four Lumber company. Transit ship ments sent in here by a Wil lamette valley mill for planing at the Heppner Lumber com pany and thence east have sus pended temporarily. Incoming shipments during the month have consisted of oil for highway surfacing; five car loads of combine harvesters to Heppner and Lexington, and t lie Columbia Basin Electric Co-op received a car and trailer of poles, for construction of the LEA lines if and when finances are forthcoming for continuing the work. In conclusion, Shamblyn stat ed that Joe Donaldson shipped a carload of horses to Ogden, Utah during the month. o SPECIALISTS HOLDING CLINIC HERE THIS WEEK Dr. A. B.

Unrlam- orous stream names like Wil low creek, Mallory, Wall and Potamus have little appeal to big shot fishermen but local nimrods know the right places and the right time to visit these wild mountain streams to snare the worthwhile specimens. Last Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gentry drove to-Potamus creek for a day's fishing. When they returned that evening they had two rainbow trout that would be the en.vy of many an adherent to the Izaak Walton principle of recreation. One of the beauties measured 28 inch es, the other 26. Not all the trout cruising the riffles of Pot amus are like that, but the Gentrys surely had a field day, piscatonally speaking.

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Couture and children of Fossil spent the gressional ecoHomy program, as i to how much Bonneville appro priations will be restricted and also on the outcome of tenta I tive agreements between the Bonneville administration and I the Pacific Power & Light com- I pany relative to power trans i mission from Hermiston to Jor- 1 dan. The house vote on the ec- onomy program was unfavor able to REA and it remains to be seen what the senate will accomplish ii restoring some of the appropriations. Wckard's approval of the loan to the local cooperative is in line with a request made by Henry Baker and Albert Scou ten on the occasion of a hurried trip to Washington a few weeks ago. Up to the present, Bonne ville has been unable to offer any assistance to the CBE and it was suggested that if the REA would advance necessary funds to the CBE for construc tion of transmission lines, Bon neville would lease the lines at a figure that would amortize the loan. If the money is forthcoming construction of the transmission line from Hermiston to Jordan will be made possible. At pre sent a tentative agreement has been reached between the Paci fic Power & Light company and the Bonneville administration whereby PP&L will "wheel" Bonneville power over its line from Pendeton to Hermiston to be transferred to the Hermiston Jordan line. This will be a 66,-000-volt line and will serve both the CBE and PP&L lines in Mor row county. The Columbia Basin Electric Co-operative has most of the materials on hand for construc tion of lines into the rural ar eas but is waiting for delivery of wire. Until the financial hor izon is cleared, however, it is not expected that much in the way of construction will be done. week end in Heppner visiting with relatives and friends.

Hearing on Milk Licenses Held in Heppner Tuesday Hermiston Dairy Operators Would Enter Local Field Should the Oregon milk board see fit to grant licenses to dairy operators seeking franchises there would be three concerns delivering milk in Morrow in stead of one. Two applicants' cases were heard here Tuesday morning when Melvin J. Conk- lin, examiner for the state milk board, took statements pro and con relative to the present ser vice and examined the applica tions of Olin L. Hodge and Rich ard Barham of Hermiston who seek to enter this field for wholesale distribution of milk. Conklin took up the applica tion of Olin Hodge first, asking questions as to the present vol ume of milk handled by the ex isting distributorship; distance his truck would have to travel to and from Hermiston and pro bable cost per mile and what the average cost per quart of milk would be. Hodge's figures in answer to the above resulted in an estimated delivery cost of six cents per quart. He later stated that he is delivering milk in Arlington now and if granted a license to distribute milk In Morrow county would make a circuit trip, delivering to Hepp ner, Lexington, lone and Ar lington. Hodge stated that his milk is acquired from farmers whose barns meet Grade A specifica tions. He also expressed the be lief that a second milk delivery concern in this field might cause a slight raise in price of the product. If permitted to op erate here he will deliver in wholesale lots only that is, not run a local house to house de livery. Herman Plass, manager of the Umatilla Dairy Co-operative, which has the local franchise, took the stand in defense of his concern. He stated that a div ision of the volume here would more than likely necessitate adding a little to the consum ers bill inasmuch as it would cost practically the same to de liver a smaller volume. He stat ed that the co-op is doing its best to give the people good service. W. C. Rosewall and R. B. Fer guson, called to make state ments, both declared they have been using the co-op's milk ever since that concern entered the field and that they found ser vice and milk okeh. George Corwin took a some what opposite view in relation to the public school milk ser vice. He stated that some of the milk was sour when placed be fore the children and despite ef forts of Mr. Plass to remedy the condition, th cafeteria service at the school found it necessary to discontinue buying the milk about two weeks before school closed. Corwin's statement was cor roborated by Mrs. Elizabeth Dix, primary teacher, who said the work of her department in get ting the children to drink milk was handicapped much of the time by the condition of the milk.
