shoremens strike in Portland tills past
summer has convinced us that the pro­
ducers and shippers of the up-state
counties of Oregon must band together
as a means of ■ self-preservation.” said
Mr. Boyer, as spokesman for the new
association. "That strikes, fomented by
a very small group of radicals, cost the
people of the state at least »50.000.000,
and tha producers and shippers of
Eastern Oregon were among the heav­
iest losers.
“ Miles removed from the scene of
the conflicts between labor and em­
ployers, we have no direct Interest in
the source of their quarrels. But when
these disputes result in conditions
which endanger our welfare and the
welfare of all of Oregon, we believe
that every effort should be made to
prevent their recurrence.
“During the 83 days of the Portland
strike this past summer, our wool re­
mained in our warehouses, with added
costs of storage and insurance and
much of it has not yet been sold. In
many Instances our eastern Oregon
grow vs and shippers suffered huge
financial losses, and because we were
unorganized we were powerless t o I
present a solid front In demanding
proper protection.”

TY OCTOBER 15th.
Malheur county hunters can pre­
pare for a month’s pheasant hunting as
the season opens next Monday, October
15, for a 30-day sentence on the China
flocks which abound in this region.
Some say the crop Isn’t as large as
usual—but that there’s lots of birds just
the same. Malheur is the only county in
Oregon that has a month’s open sea­
son on pheasants.
Eddie Powell’s deer remains the lead­
er in the pool for biggest antlers at the
service station. Deer were brought in
last week by Bruce Pinkston, Cecil
Smith,
Barr Doolittle and Henry
Hatch. Doolittle and George Ray lost
their way In the woods near Loor.ey
Springs Sunday night. They walked in­
to Unity some 25 miles away so were a
bit late getting home.
A number of hunters found deer hard
to sight last week. After a week’s trip,
Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Ray and Mr. and
Mrs. Gordon Ray returned with only
a cub bear. Ray Kendler, Ernest M c­
Clure and W. F. McLing found tracks
aplenty but nd deer. Floyd and Harold
Elliott, Rex Walters and Carl Simmons
of the Kolony report the same kind of
luck.

Nyssa beat Baker.
This news almost eclipsed the world
series in this city Friday when the high
school gridders handed the big Baker
teem a 12 to 0 surprise thumping be­
fore a large crowd of shouting fans.
The locals punched over one touch­
down on plain, old-fashioned line bucks
and snatched another out of the air
on a long pass. Light but speedy they
kept the Baker eleven from scoring. It
was Nyssa's third win and a real sur­
prise as Baker’s team was rated one of
the strongest in eastern Oregon.
Owen Price reports the play as fol­
lows: After an exchange of, punts In
the first quarter with neither side
gaining much, Montgomery, alert Nys­
sa end, recovered a fumbled kick on
Baker’s seven yard line. Three cracks
at the Baker line by Lankford and Sag­
er put the ball on the two yard line and
on the fourth attempt Sager went over
guard for a touchdown. The try for the
extra point failed. The remainder of
the first half was a punting duel be­
tween tha six-feet-four Marshall of
Baker and Freddie Spencer, which was
fairly even.
Lankford Scores
No sooner had the second half open­
ed when Spencer shot a bullet pass to
the fleet-footed Lankford who caught
It on the dead run and ran the remain­
ing 40 yard» to a touchdown. The sec­
ond try for point failed when a fumble
was recovered by Baker. During the re­
mainder of the game the Baker team
tried hard to score with passes, and
twice almost succeeded only to have
them knocked down In the end zone.
Nyssa Just missed scoring another
touchdown on the last play of the game
when Lankford caught another pas;;
from Spencer and stepped out of
bounds a yard' short of the goal line.
The whole Nyssa team played good
hard football and looked like a differ­
ent team than the one of two weeks
ago. Cook at center, Walters at tackle,
Fahmey at guard and Montgomery
were the standouts In the line, while
Spencer, Sager and Lankford played
like Trojans In the backfleid. Other
boys who did good work were Morfltt.
Lem Wilson, Anderson, Claunch, Paul
Johnston, Byrd Walters, Slippy Nichols
and Keck.
The team goes to Vale Friday for an­
other hard game.
