o f the committee that haa been look

Deon Schoenfield and Mr. Bessey
of the Oregon State College were in
the county Saturday, met with the
court and committee, looked over
the sites and after further confer
ence suggested that more proposed
sites be considered.
In a meeting with the location
committee, composed of Represent
atives V. B. Staples, Frank Morgan,
Ed M. Grelff, Charles Burrows, and
Harold Logue, the county court dis
cussed the buying of the site for
he farm. Commissioner Marshall ob
jected to the court buying the land
for the experimental farm, which it
is estimated will cost around $8000
unless the proposition was put up
to a vote of the people of the county.
The other two members of the court,
Judge Graham and Commissioner
Troxeli, Morgan said, favored the
purchase without any reference to
the voters.
The state legislature has approp

equipment and maintenance of the
farm, the necessary bills for the ap
propriation having been introduced
by Senator J. N. Jones and Repres

Healtli officer started an inspection

Dr. Maulding stated that most

names however have been turned
into the police department for re

As summer approaches the menace
of fly carried germs of epidemic dis

by the careful and dally destruction
of all possible breeding places that
the danger la lessened, Dr. Maulding
said.
It is for this cause that Dr.
Maulding is asking every person to

would be perfectly contented to
spoil the undefeated league record
of the Nyssa squad this year. Should
Ontario defeat Vale Friday they
still would have a mathematical
chance to tie Nyssa for the pennant,
but they would have to win all re

Coach Young cannot remember
how many conference baseball titles
his team has won in his coaching
career, but he thinks “ about twelve” .
This estimate Includes the one taken
in 1939.
With a two and one-half game
lead and only three left on the
slate, it appears that his squad is
about to take his thirteenth title—
that of the Oregon side of the Snake

will enter the playoff against the
Idaho winners for the sweepstakes.

park Tuesday afternoon for their
fifth consecutive league win against
no defeats,
Adrian pitchers were in trouble
from the start, yielding 12 runs, 7
hits, and ten walks in the first three
innings while their teamates made
three errors. Schweizer, Adrian, in
the Antelopes’ half o f the first got
on base on an error, stole second,
made third on a sacrifice, and scor
ed on a throw to second for the Ad-
squad's first counter. T h e score re
mained 12 to 1 until the fifth inning
when each squad tallied one more.
Nyssa turned on the heat again in
the sixth for four runs and Adrian
retaliated with three. The Bulldog s
two scores in the seventh completed
the conquest.
Don Eldredge had the batting eye
of the day, clouting three singles and
a triple in five times up. followed
by Keith Russell and Ray Morfitt
with three out of five each.
Timmerman. Adrian, had only two
official trips to the plate but he
made both of them good with singles
for a perfect day.
Frank Wilson on the mound for
Nyssa was almost up to his recent
two-hits-per-game record, but he
allowed two blows in five innings be
fore he was relieved by Reid Cottle
who finished the game.
When the smoke had cleared away,
the storekeeper found that Nyssa'a
barrage had netted them 14 hits
against Woods, Timmerman, and
Mitchell, Adrian pitchers. Freel
caught for all three.
