Hermiston Leads in County League and Echo Ties With Athena for Second Place. League Standing. Hermiston ______ Echo _________ Athena .................. Pendleton .............. Indians ............. — 9 » 4 3 3 3 1 2 2 2 3 5 The Hermiston baseball team staged a comeback Sunday, after the Indians had chalked up a score of 11 to 2 In the first four innings of a game played on the local field to determine the lead team in the Umatilla League, by bringing the final score to 12-14 in favor of Baseball fans who Hermiston. braved the blazing afternoon sun to watch the game, said it was one of the most exciting games played on the local field this season. Athena tied with Echo for second place in the league Sunday by a win over Pendleton, 11-9 in a 12 inning game. Pendleton will meet Hermiston Sunday, June 3, in the second engagement of the season with that team. The Indians started the batting of the afternoon but were stopped as R. Woodward, Henning and Kopacz caught three high flies in rapid suc cession. Hermiston did not fare so well when three men struck out to retire to the side. Shorty Longhorn» who started the hurling for Hermis- ton, held the Indians to no-runs with his fast underhand ball. In the second inning Longhorn scored Jendrzejewskl by connecting with a two base hit. Hermiston lagged in the third in ning when the Indians received numerous safe hits and the Hermis ton boys chalked up errors one after another. Before the side was retired, five men had crossed the home plate. Hermiston was held to one run which was made when Lynch put a long hit against the fence for a three base hit, and Bob Woodward crossed the home plate for the sec ond counter. Again in the fourth inning the Indians continued with their scor ing, and six men crossed the home plate. This put them in the lead, 11 to 2, and it looked as though the game was a walk away for the In dians. This situation did not last long because the Hermiston boys ral lied to save the day by scoring ten runs during their turn at bat, bringing them up to one run in the lead. Shafer and Henning each made a safe hit. Jendrzejewskl hit, and scored Shafer, and Henning scored as Bob Woodward bunted. Ray \ oodward made a two base hit, scoring Lynch who made first, and scored himself on errors by the In dians. Sam Moore, who played his first game with Hermiston this season, connected successfully with the ball on a two base hit, scoring Kopacz, who had singled. Moore was scored by Shafer on a two base hit. Hen ning singled but Shaffer was caught out on third. Martin connected for a long field hit and scored Henning for his second run in the fourth in ning, when an Indian player missed catching the fly. Bob Woodward then singled and scored Jendrze- jewski, ‘ filling the bases again. A quick throw- caught Bob Woodward out on second, finishing the event ful inning. A fast hit to Moore on second, one run for the Indians in the fifth, tieing the score 12-all. Kopacz replaced Longhorn in the pitcher's box and held the Indians scoreless for the next four innings. In the eighth inning the score was still tied 12-all, until Jendrzejewskl and B. Woodward made bases. B. Woodward stole second and Jendrze- jewski sneaked home for the decid ing run of the game. Woodward also made home and also scored an other run as his brother, Ray con nected for a safe hit. SUBSCRIPTION, $1.00 PER YEAR HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON. THURSDAY, MAY, 31, 1934. NUMBEk .

THUNDER STORM BREAKS HEAT WAVE IN COUNTY TUESDAY MOISTURE TIMELY IN WEST END COUNTY SECTION. Does Great Damage at Heppner and Madras; Rhea Creek Goes on Rampage. Cloudburst The heat wave was broken in Umatilla county Tuesday afternoon by a thunder storm which brought only a little rain but lowered the maximum temperature 11 degrees below that of Monday, when the high mark of the year was establish ed at 102 degrees. Precipitation Tuesday, which was .27, connected any moisture near the surface to prevent any need of an immediate irrigation, says Enos Mar tin, manager tor the Hermiston Irri gation district. A heavier rainfall was reported in other sections of the county.

As it came down Gilmore and South Court streets, it poured over the American Legion swimming pool, taking away all of the buildings, the fence and even the railing around the concrete pool. Many houses wore surrounded by water and garages moved from their foun dations by the onrushing water. Property damage was reported to be great. Rhea Creek overflowed its banks, washing away hay stacks, taking out crops, and washed away the Clyde Wright sheep sheds, a huge struc- tuie.

New Loans Obtained to Repay Old Debts, Which Generally Reduces Annual Interest Charge. A total of *760,000 of federal land bank and Land Bank Commis sioner’s farm mortgage loans was made in Umatilla County, Oregon, from June 1, 1933, to May 1, 1934, according to the Farm Credit Ad ministration, of which J. 8. Johns ot Pendleton Is secretary-treasurer for Umatilla county. Of this total, farmers in Umatilla County used approximately $675,- 700, or 88.9 per cent to refinance their indebtedness. By refinancing, farmers obtained new mortgage loans which they used to repay their old debts. They generally reduced their annual interest charges in do ing so. In a number of cases, scale-downs ot indebtedness occur red in connection with the new loans. These and other advantages benefited farmers primarily. Sec ondarily, creditors benefited from the receipt of cash or bonds in ex change for obligations they held. Of the loan money used by far- mers in Umatilla County for refi nancing their debts, about 9282,000, it was estimated, repaid their debts to banks; $27,400, their debts to in surance companies; 943,300, their taxes; 93,000, their debts to mer chants; 9320,000, their debts to "others”, or creditors not separate ly classified, including private mort gage lenders, mortgage loan com panies, retired farmers and many others to whom farmers were In debt. A total of about 984,300 of loans in the county was used for purpo ses other than the refinancing bor rowers' debts. Of this sum, $44,800 wi s used for the purchase of land and equipment, the construction or improvement of buildings, and for general agricultural uses, including the provision ot capital, while $39,- 500, the balance, was used tor the purchase of stock tn national farm loan associations, for loan fees, etc. Throughout the United States ap proximately 9675,000,000 of land bank and Commissioner's loans were made from June 1, 1933, to May 1, 1934. Most of these loans were made to refinance debts resulting from the long period of low farm in come. Generally farmers pay considera bly less interest each year on the new than on the old loans.
