Victory to Credit
For Year's Playing
Sunday afternoon will mark
the close of the Wheat-Timber
league season when Arlington,
one of the stronger teams of the
league comes here to do battle
with the Heppner team, one of
the weaker teams, at 2:30 p. m.
on Rodeo field.
Starting almost from scratch
and with mostly young players,
Manager McCurdv has been un
able to chalk up more than one
victory to date and is not looking
upon Sunday's game with too
mucn commence, me boys slip
ped one win over here a few
weeks ago when they beat Con
don, but since that time they
have not hit their stride.
Fossil seems to have stolen the
lead from Kinzua and probably
will end the season in first place
unless there is a general revers
al, and that is not looked for.
Regardless of the poor showing
made throughout the season, the
iieppner lads will be in the game
Sunday afternoon, and whos

Council Decides
lo Call Special
Funding Election
Seeking $12,734
In Excess of Six
P. C. Limitation
Voters and taxpayers of the
city will be called upon In July
to approve an additional sum to
the budget, following action tak
en by the city council at the mid
month meeting Monday evening.
A sum of $12,734 in excess of the
six per cent limitation Is sought
to permit improvement to streets
and bridges. A special ordinance
was passed to provide for the
special election.
Another matter of business ta
ken up Monday evening was au
thorizing purchase of a pressure
pump for use of the fire depart
ment. , .
Street improvements occupied
some time and in the course ot
the discussion Mayor Conley Lan
ham offered the suggestion that
since the city has to raise about
$20,000 annually for this purpose
it might not be out of line to vote
a bond issue of sufficient size to
do all the improvement work un
der one contract. The suggestion
met with some favor but Council-
man Rosewall thougni u w,u
be more advisable to follow thru
the town and asked that this pro
posal be revived and given more
thorough study.
Inquiry reiauve uj
ed sewer bonds revealed the fact
that no report has been received
from the bond anorneya. .
The council issued an order
that drain pipes emptying into
gutters on Main street will be
closed if owners indulging in the
practice fail to otherwise divert
the water after a certain number
of days after notice is given.
