SCHOOL NOTES.

The writer visited the Lexington
school last Thursday. Prof. Doak
and his assistants are keeping the
work well in hand and will close
the work of the year in good shape.
The installation of we'll equipped
laboratory has greatly increased
the efficiency of the high school
work. A class Of two will be grad
.uated this year. al ssls
Teachers who have pupils who
are entitled to exemptions under
the new eighth grade rules, should
notify the superintendent in time
to enable them to secure the record
cards upon the showing for exemp-
tions must be made. Care should
be taken to comply with the rules
before asking for the cards.
Several of the bulletins pertaining
to the industrial club contest work
have been received at the office.
Any pupil who desires one for his
own use may obtain it by calling at
the office or writing for it. Pupils
should preserve these bulletins even
if they have no thought of entering
the state contests, for the same gen.
eral lines will be followed in the
county contests.
The school in District No. so
closed last week with an excellent
entertainment. The teacher, Mr..
C. f. French, and the pupils had
made careful preparation, and the
program was very pleasing to the
visitors. A bountiful supper was
served after the entertainment. The
work of the school was rather heavy
as a ninth grade was maintained,
but the pupils all seem to have done
well in their work.

HEPPNER HIGH SCHOOL
TAKES GAME FROM lone

In a fast game at lone last Friday
the local high school ball team dem
onstrated to the lone high school
team a few of the rudiments in the
national game This is the first TIME
In several years that lone has gone
down to defeat at the hands OF the
local team, and the high school lads
are feeling pretty good over the re-
suit of the game.
From the first pitched ball the
game was very loosely played. there
being but few players on either team
who had no error checked up against
him. In the first inning lone brought
in two runs and in the third this was
Increased to four, while Heppner's
score board was nil so far as runs
were concerned. But in the fourth
frame the local boys braced up and
evened' the score. After the fourth
the game became closer, and both
teams exhibited better ball. lone
made the other four points in the
seventh and ninth. and Heppner's
additional runs were chalked up in
the fifth. seventh and ninth.
Wilson's pitching proved a little
too much for the lone lads. and they
received only few hits. In the field
ing department they outplayed the
Heppner team. Hopkins, Blake and
Reitman proving inpenetrable. At
the bat Heppner showed the best
form, practically every man up find
ing the ball for one or two bases.
Fisk and Yeager starred for Ileppner
in fielding, although sprained
shoulder prevented Yeager making
accurate throws to first. Wilson'S
pitching was also a leading feature of
the game.
l. X Harlan, in the position of
umpire gave entire satisfaction
A return game will be played on
the home diamond a week from to-
morrow, April 3rd.

CREAMERY FOR HEPPNER
IS PRACTICALLY ASSURED
Business Men And Farmers Alike Are Getting
Behind the Proposition Bacon Factory Has
Been Dropped.

Work of interesting our business
men and the farmers in the vicinity
of Heppner in the creamery propo-
sition goes on in very successful
and satisfactory manner. Mr..
Sparkling is disposing of the stock
daily and is meeting with the
proper encouragement. In this
work he is receiving the co-opera-
tion of the following Heppner firms
and individuals:
Gillian & Bisbee, Thomson Bros. !,
Minor & Co., Vaughn & Sons,
Phelps Grocery Co., Heppner Mill
ing Co., w. w. Smead. Palace
Hotel Co., the Gazette Times. W.
B. Barratt, George j. Currin and
Patterson & Son. Besides these,
% other individuals have become
subscribers to the stock and the in
terest is spreading.
1t is thought now that all energy
will be directed to getting a good
creamery established, and the bacon
factory feature that was given men,
ton IN our last issue will be
dropped, as it would appear to be
too big proposition to develop at
the present time.

1t must not be understood that
this creamery proposition is meet
ing with universal support; a good
many of those who are now inter-
ested in the dairy business are slow
to take hold Of this, feeling that
perhaps they are doing just as well
in the shipping Of their butter fat
to outside creameries as they could
possibly do at home, and they are
taking no risk on money invested.
Others also feel that it will be hard
to establish and maintain an out
side market. These objections are
not well founded. Some 72,00O
pounds Of butter is consumed annu-
ally by the local market. about one
half is shipped in. A creamery in
Heppner should supply all this,
and it is contended by those promo
ting the industry, that if this local
market is supplied by an article Of
butter that will hold the trade,
there is going to be no trouble in
getting an outside market for the
surplus. AT any rate it is in the
line Of promotion and encourages
industry and cooperation; it is a
good thing and should be pushed
along. - -.

Forest Notes

The Canadian Forestry associa-
tion, which recently met in Ot-
tawa, has selected Halifax, Nova
Scotia, for it's next annual meet
ing place.
The stringent requirement Of
the forest service that all sheep
be dipped before entering the ma
tional forests, has practically
eradicated scabies on those areas.
The lumbermen of Maine in 1900
originated IN this country the use
of mountain lookout towers with
telephone connection for the
prompt location and suppression
of forest fires.
A California firm is selling eu-
calyptus charcoal at S24 a ton, as
against 500 a ton for oak char
coal. Since most of the Califor-
nia-grown eucalypts do not make
good lumber, uses for other pro-
ducts of the tree are being sought.
Fifteen small sawmllls are cut
ting timber from the Powell ma
tional forest in southern Utah,
more than 100 miles from the
nearest railroad. They are run
by settlers during time that can
be spared from the crops, and
supply local needs since there is
no opportunity to ship timber in
or out.

aseball. Meaning

sport out of baseball. Meaning
that the game should be pro-
noted for all the good clean sport
there is in it and not just simply
as a sporting proposition.
Membership cards are being
prepared which will be sold at
25c for the season, the associa-
tion being open to everybody,
men, women and children. This
should meet with the approval of
everybody and be the means of
drawing out hearty support for
the season.

Fire in Residence.

Fire which broke out in the resi-
dcnce OF Mrs. Sarah Brown last night
did several hundred dollars worth OF
damage before it could be exiting
uished by fire chief Ayers aud his
men.
The fire was discovered in a bed
room down stairs. but the real cause
is unknown. There were some match
es on the bureau and it is possible
that these became ignited. The
