Thursday night on their home
floor and defeated the Cardinal
Club of this city by a close score
of 81 to %. The Heppnerites
took the lead from the first toss
up and led at the end of the first
half by IL to IL score. The
Cardinals clearly outplayed their
opponents in the first half. In
the last half, lone put in two
fresh guards who were much
better than the first ones, and
since the visitors were in poor
condition their endurance was
not as lasting as Ione's and the
result of second half was strong

was a good clean game. however,
from start to finish, and the Car

account Of themselves in view of
the fact that they were playing
against much more experienced
and seasoned team.
Cochran, the shifty lone for

for his team. He is a fast player
and it takes a good guard to keep
him covered. He is an accurate
basket shooter, and whenever he
got free throw henearly always

winners. Cason, who went in at

MEETING
WELL ATTENDED
A Ten Mill Tax Is Voted
For the Year 1914. School
Is Flourishing.

The special school smeeting for Dist.
No. ], was quite well attended on
Saturday afternoon. In fact there
was a much larger representation of
the txpayers of the district out than
has been the habit for some time past. /.
aud several Of these were there to
find out what was being done with
the money of the District.
In the absence of anv members of
the school board Judge C. 9. Patter-
son wss elected chairman of the
meeting and the business of the hour
was proceeded with.
Upon request of number present
the clerk went over his annual report
to show what the disbursements and
receipts of the past year amounted to,
and statement was also furnished as
to what amount of funds will be re-
quired to carry on the SC chool for the
current year.
Some well-timed remarks were
made by different parties present but
there was no disposition on the part
of any to find fault with what was
being done. and when the question
was brought up to vote ten mill tax
to maintain the expenses of the school
another year, 1t was carried unani-
mously The levy was made as fol-
lows; ten and four-tenths mills for
maintenance purposes, and six-tenths
mills for the sinking fund of the dis
trict
The expenses of the school are right
around $1,000 per month during nine
months of the year. Of this sum,
of course. the greter amount is for
the teahers, of which the district has
ten this year. as against eleven last
year. The salary of janitnr for the
new building is $40 a month more
than it was in the old building but
the other running expenses are about
The same as heretofore. aud the
payroll exceeds very little

Mountain Valley Stock Farm, and
raiser of fine Shorthorns and Poland
China hogs, as we'll as foremost citi-

over his success accomplished in his

been engaged for the past twenty
years in perfecting the best herd of
Shorthorns in the Northwest, and for
many seasons he has been the blue
ribbon winner at all of the fairs of

his stock has been in demand much
faster than it could be produced
His sales during the past three

year for his cattle alone. and his in
come from the farm aside from the
cattle has been several thousand dol
lars per year more. He has been to
heavy expense in getting hold of
proper stoeK, and the foundation of
his herd cost him much money. In
fact eleven head of the best cattle
cost $40, 800, and much money has
heen spent in keeping up the herd, as
we'll as in advertising at the many
fairs and stock shows attended in the
past yet Mr.. Minor is we'll satisfied
with the results obtained and the
little farm just adjoining Heppner on
the west has been good paying prop
ositiOn and will be from now on.
