Omer Adkinson the championship
in the finals of the second flight In
the play-fog-bhe-tltle tournament
of the Nyssa-Parma golf club Sun­
day. Adkinson defeated Olen Mer-
riam of Parma one up in a battle
that was a battle for 36 holes.
It was an even break till the 36th
hole. Merriam was on the greens in
four. Adkinson was eight feet away.
Merriam missed a putt that cost
him the game.
Asked if he would challenge the
winner in the championship flight,
the privilege extended the second
flight winner by the tournament
rules. Adkinson replied, “ I do not
choose to challenge.”

dear season last Sunday. Dr. E. D.

Summit. They reached town about 9
o'clock Monday evening.
Dugger was also the first hunter of

CONSTITU-
" t i o v a l i t y OF UNTRIED LAW.
E. M. Blodgett, attorney for Duncan
Fraser and Audrey Ward, local stock-
men, and associate counsel with Dean
Driscoll for John Mendiola. non-resi­
dent stockman, is preparing an appeal
from the ruling of the Malheur county
circuit
court that restricts
graz­
ing on public domain within the county.
The appeal to the supreme court will be
the finals in a range war that has
waged since Jordan Valley stock men
took the first step in testing a grazing
law passed by the Oregon legislature In
1923.
Fraser and Ward brought suits to en­
join the county grazing board from is­
suing any licenses permitting the graz­
ing of livestock within the Jordan Val-
! ley Grazing district, organized under
the provisions of the untried law. The
circuit court sustained a demurrer to
the plaintiff's complaint In three cases,
thereby upholding the grazing law.
Mendiola, Idaho sheepman, raises the
point relative to interstate commerce
under the federal constitution.
The law restricts grazing rights to
three classifications Class 1 owners of
livestock, who reside within the graz­
ing district, shall be given the p r e fc -
ence in the issuance of permits to graze.
Class 2 owners of livestock, those re­
siding within the state of Oregon but
outside the boundaries of the grazing
district and who have grazed within
such district prior to its formation shall
be granted grazing facilities after all
Class 1 users have been supplied ade­
quate grazing. Class 3, transient and
non-resident owners of livestock, shall
be granted permits to graze only If fac­
ilities are available in such district
after permits have been granted to all
Class 1 and Class 2 owners of livestock
who make application therefor.
After the Jordan Valley grazing dis­
trict was bounded and formed in Mal­
heur county, Westfall ranchers made
application for a district and later ap­
plication was made for a district com­
prising all Malheur county. The grazing
board withheld action on the last two
applications, pending the outcome of
the test of the constitutionality of the
law.
Bruce R. Kester, district attorney,
represents the county In the case.
ONIONS REWARD NEW
SETTLERS ON BULLY
CREEK AND HARPER
H. E. Fuchs of Harper cropped
onions worth over $2500 from a few
acres of river bottom land, that a
few years ago was a part of the
Harper ranch of the Pacific Live­
stock company. Fuchs shipped seven
carloads. The crop averaged about
560 sacks to the acre, according to
Gus Hagglund. assistant county
agent.
K. Morlnaga. a new settler on the
West Bully creek bench, Is harvest­
ing 120 sacks of onions that will
probably average 300 or better sacks
per acre, said Hagglund. The land
was covered with sagebrush last
February and Is under the Vale Irri­
gation project. Morlnaga's crop Is
worth better than $30,000 It is esti­
mated.
Hagglund stated that one can
smell onions miles from the Morin-
afa ranch. One views an ocean of
onions when the ranch comes In
sight. Sacking Is now in progress.
