Fill-in Game 6 to
4 Here Sunday
Heppner Got Most
Hits But Couldn't
Cash In on Them
It wasn't a league game so
the boys don't feel too bad about
losing Sunday to Hermiston. 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.

MacHaughton
Busy Retired
Retirement from the presiden

Heppner school but in the pre
vious high schools she has at

for 50 Billion Horses," v;'s in, c
clear to the graduating class
and audience by Dr. Virgil lion-.i
of Eastern Oregon College in an
address spiced with hit 'or rn I
containing a lot of solid thot.
One cannot imagine bo billion
horses In terms of animals but
in terms of horse power it is
something in line with present-1
day trends. He pointed lo ie
great opportunities open to the
young people if they will p,e-i
pare themselves for building 1
great bridges, great dams and
other achievements characteris
tic of our modern age. !

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.

THIS AREA PRODUCES
EIG RAINBOW TROUT
Fishermen who like to tell
tall tales about their casting
prowess seldom think of the
streams in this area as the lo
cale for "big ones," yet now
and then local fishermen go out
and hook trout that would do
credit to the Deschutes, the Ro
gue, McKenzie and others of Or
egon's noted streams. 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.

Wickard Approves Allocation

heads and Oregon congressmen
to the Columbia Basin Electric
Co-operative relative to alloca
tion of funds to the local REA
for construction of transmission
lines to carry Bonneville "juice"
into the farm areas of Morrow
and Gilliam counties.
First message to arrive was
received from Claude R. Wick

istrator, who informed Henry
Baker, president of the Colum

as follows: "Pleased to advise

i mission from Hermiston to Jor-

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

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.

milk drinker stating that he
