ECHO VICTOR IN
A CLOSE GAME
Local Pitcher Strikes Out
422 Men But Visitors Win
On Heppner's Errors.

Five to two in favor Of Echo and
the Heppner fans are still wonder
ing how it happened. With % of the
Echo stickers benched by the strike
out methods used by Harlan, the To-
cal pitcher. and his team mates, with
one or two exceptions, giving him
fine support; the visitors, by a ser
les of lucky plays, showed enough
men across the home plate to take
the game and leave the local fans
unable to shout.
Things started in the first Of the
second inning when Charlie Hoskins
lifted long fly over the head of CEN
ter fielder McMurdo. McMurdo sue
ceeded in touching the ball, but be-
fore he could recover, Hoskins had
circled the bases. Heppner got their
only two runs of the game in the
fourth, when McMurdo dropped a
nice one into right field, bringing
Manerude in from third, and Brunton
showed his sprinting ability by COM
ing in from second. Echo scored
one run in the fifth and eighth
frames and two in the ninth. One
of these runs was caused by a wild
pitch and the others by passed balls.
Heppner played out of luck. but ex-
pect to come back strong in their
next game with Echo.

MORROW COUNTY CREAMERY AND
COLD STORAGE Co. TO MEET ON 27TH
New Charter Will Be Received and Other Business
Will Be Transacted Lexington Creamery Plant
To Be Moved To Heppner.

The incorporators of the Morrow
County Creamery and Cold Storage
Company have issued a call for a
meeting of the stock subscribers to
be held in |. o. O. F. hall in Heppner
at o'clock, p. m., Wednesday, May
81 This meeting is called for the
purpose of receiving the charter and
completing the organization of the
company, and it is desired that there
be full representation of stock pres
ent, either in person or by proxy.
Mr.. A. L. Sparkling, organizing Sec
retary, has been very busy the past
three weeks and has visited every
part of the county in the interests of
this company. He has interested
about IS individual shareholders,
and would like to make this 100.
This can be done providing more of
the Heppner people will come in, and
this they should do as it is desired
to locate the creamery and cold
storage plant in this city.
At a meeting of the stock sub
scribers held in Heppner on Friday
afternoon last, a proposition to take
over the Lexington creamery plant
was presented and accepted. The
new company gets this property, in
Guiding house, lot and all machinery
upon the payment of $3.50 in cash
and 400 shares Of stock, the stock to
be distributed among the present
stockholders of the Lexington Cream
cry. This is considered good stroke
of business and the property was Sc
cured at very reasonable price, con-
sidering that other interests had
made much better offer for the
property. The new creamery is re-
ceiving the hearty endorsement OF
the Lexington dairymen and they will
be among the largest contributors
to the new enterprise. In fact, these
people would give strong inducement
for the location of the plant at that
point, and we understand that one
merchant there made an offer of 8

est opponent by 4,707 votes.
For justices of the supreme court,
the nominees are Mcbride, Bean,
Harris and McNary in the order
named. The race between Benson

may take the official count to decide
who is the winner, although from
present indications it looks like Nc
Nary with one or two counties yet to
hear from.

tices:

cash bonus of $3.50 to bring the
plant to his town, and this in addi-
tion to liberal stock subscription.
This is certainly manifesting a spirit
of enterprise for which he is to be
commended, and it shows that he
has faith in the successful outcome
of such an undertaking.
The new corporation is based on
a capitalization of $4,000 and the
necessary amount of stock is sub
scribed to complete organization. To
date the following have become
stockholders and a glance at the list
will show that the stock is we'll dis

Had a Lively Runaway.

Emerson Keithley, of Eight Mile,
is the possessor of team that he is
proud of because of their sprinting
qualities. He had the team hitched
to the wagon and was in the lane
near his house making repairs to the
fence when they took a sudden notion
to run. They lit out in the direction
of Oscar Keithleys, ran through the
fence into his field and after making
a circle, dropped off the hind part Of
the wagon which had become en-
tangled with the fence, and hiked
back to their own domicile where
they brought up in the barn lot, hav-
ing done no particular damage but
proving their sprinting qualities to
be first class.

Still Thinks He Was I'm
justly Taxed.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Betwixt the Heppner Gazette
Times, which must stand for Nor
row County resources, the Oregon
ian, who is looking for a socialist
single-tax mares nest and citizen S
demand for a fair rate of assessment
we have been much advertised as
kicker in the matter of taxation.
This is exactly the opposite from the
truth which this letter will explain
if it gets into print.
Instead of single tax applying to
this land assessment exactly the op-
posite is the case. My holdings are
improved. Because | plowed the
land and tried to farm it | am taxed
on improved land; while my neigh
Dor, adjoining, leaves his land in the
wild state-bunch grassland gets
off with from one third to one half
of the taxes | have to pay because |,
supposedly, improved the land. Had
| not plowed and improved | should
have the benefit of unimproved land
rating. This is exactly the opposite
from the single tax George" theory.
Now the facts in this case are
these. Some of my neighbors' land
is farmed and enough rye or other
hay, sometimes grain, can be raised
to feed a bunch of stock that is
ranged just north OF this land on
the irrigation reserve covering Is
miles between my place and the Col
umbia river. These people make
from the farm. Another man ad-
joining this land farmed himself so
deeply into debt that he may never
be able to pay out and was forced to
abandon his own land and now rents
in another section of the county.
Other land, still farther south, lying
in better district is being farmed
by some careful Swedish farmers
and they make living, in a way.
The whole belt in the location of this
particular land has been practically
abandoned.
With fair rating | would not OBJ
ject to the taxes assessed against this
land. | deny the accusation of being
"deserter" in theory or practice of
the Socialist philosophy or that of
the single land tax. Moreover | pro-
fess to know how to farm and will
take my hat off to no one. Also |
will meet any editor on even space
on any one of these three questions
l asked of the Morrow County Of
fcers fair assessment and if the
group in this section of land owners
will stand by me we might show the
officials of that county the justice
of our claim.

Robert Dexter Says His Son Was En-
titled to An Attorney.
Editor Gazette e-Times:-

Editor Gazette-Times:
In your last issue | think you made
a statement that did my son, Jake
Dexter an injustice, in that you said
he refused to have an attorney
This is not so. He asked that an at
torney be appointed to defend him;
he also asked to have his case post
poned until the coming fall that he
might be in better position to defend
himself and this request was denied
by the Court and the case proceeded
with. | think he should have had
an attorney appointed to defend him,
and that great wrong was done the
boy because he had to go to tidal
without an attorney. The boy Is
IS years of age and Of course had
never had experience in court mat
ters and did not know how to pro-
coed. Owing to long continued ill
ness of myself, and the consequent
heavy expense l have been under, |
was not able to get the boy an at
torney, and he had no means with
which to employ one at this trial and
! think he did not receive the treat
ment that he was entitled to at the
hands of the court.
The boy now languishes in Jail
because he could not pay his fine and
could not mortgage my place to
raise the money for this purpose.
