HEPPkER HIGH WINS
COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
Deciding Game OF Interscholastit
League Won by Local High Last
Saturday at lone,
Score Z TO 3.

In one of the best games ever wit
messed on the lone diomond, Heppner
High won the deciding game of the
Interscholastic League series from
lone last Saturday in score of to
8. Up to the fourth frame there had
been no runs made by either side. In
the fourth NJ. Blake scored and in the
fifth Pennington crossed the plate for
another tally for lone. Both teams
we're retired in one-two-three order in
the sixth and seventh, and the Hepp-
ner fans began to fear a shut-out
game, but in the first of the eighth
the Heppner team found their luck
with the stick and in this inning
everybody landed on the ball in such
way as to put it just out of the
reach of an lone fielder When the
dust had settled and our boys were
retired for this inning the score keep
er announced four runs, these being
( Irwin, Barlow, Hayes and Peterson.
lone came to the bat this inning with
the intention of evening up the score
and their start made it appear as if
their intentions would be carried out,
for the first two batters up succeeded
in getting on bases. But Barlow
steadied down and held them to one
run; Roy Blake coming in for Ione's
third score. In the ninth the Hepp-
ner boys continued their hitting and
three more runs were made, f..
Hughes, Barlow and Hayes crossing
the pan. The lone team was retired
in short order and the Heppner boys
left the field 1915 champions of Nor
row county.
The game was remarkable in the
fact that both teams played steady
ball throughout and there was no
time when either team "blew up"
Only one bad throw was made, this
by Iono, and only one run was allow
ed in this manner. Pennington, cat
cher, starred for lone both behind
the bat and with the stick. For
Heppner there were no particular
stars but the pitching of Peterson
and Barlow deserves special mention.
Barlow famed the first five men con-
fronting him and Peterson held the
opposing team down to few hits. One
or two serious errors were made by
the Heppner team as we'll as by lone
Nicholson and W. Cochran gave
on three occasions were their decis-
ions questioned.

Henry Schwarz Receives Injury

Henry Schwarz, proprietor Of the
Peoples Cash Market received pain
full Injuries to the back of his neck
and shoulder last Friday out at his
slaughter house, when a heavy door
Of the killing pen dropped down on
him. The door is very heavy one
and is raised and lowered by weights.
One of the pulley ropes broke while
Mr. Schwarz was under the door and
he was caught as it struck him across
the back Of the neck and on the left
shoulder. He was badly lacerated
by the impact and was laid out for a
time, but being man of good grit,
he went on with his work of cleaning
and dressing beef, and looked after
his injuries when he was through.
He considers that he escaped luckily,
very stiff neck being the worst re-
suit. Mr.. Schwarz has had the door
repaired and says he will be careful
to see that the accident does not oc-
cur again.

For the purpose of aiding with the
work of improving the roads leading
to Heppner from the Spray and Mon
ument sections, the Heppner Milling
Co. have added their subscription to
the road fund in the sum of 500.
These people have always been
among the foremost of our business
houses in giving to everything that
looks to the upbuilding of our resour-
ces, and they feel a keen interest in
the good roads movement. They feel
that 1t is to the interest of Heppuer
to get the trade of the Monument ana
Spray sections; that the trade OF
these communities is naturally ours.
but they have lot of bad roads to
get over in reaching this place and it
makes it very difficult to haul their
produce here and get home with their
supplies. Some good, consistent
work is needed on both roads, and
Heppner should certainly consider
her interest in this trade OF sufficient
Importance to make strong efforts 10
secure the travel this way.

CAMPBELL BROWN MAKES
GOOD HORSE SALE.

c. H. Turner, mayor of the city OF
Caldwell, Idaho, was in Wheeler
county this week, when he bought
1856 head of horses for military pur-
poses, 167 of the number being from
Campbell Brown, the well known
banker horse dealer of Condor. For
100 head Mr.. Brown received 100000,
and the remaining 81 brought him an
average price of something less than
$100 per head These horses were
bought by Mr.. Brown in Wheeler
county last FALL at an average price
of about $50 per head, with view to
selling them as cavalry horses to the
warning European governments, and
for some time it looked as though he
would do we'll to break even on them,
but the demand and price have in
creased so rapidly of late that he has
been able to dispose of the horses at
good round profit, his only expense
having been the pasturing of the
horses at the Corncob ranch through
the winter, and the breaking of them
there by the Scale Bros, of Condor.
Mr.. Turner also bought 13 head of
aged work horses, one being II years
old, from Manager Joe Younce of the
Gilman-French Company, for $780,
He offered Mr.. Younce $3.50 for a
1900 pound work gelding and s125
for one of the Company's saddle
horses, but these offers were refused
Mr.. Younce's instructions being to
not dispose of any mares or young
geldings.
Ray Beckley sold a small saddle
horse to Mr.. Turner for S95.
Mr.. Turner is a member of the
widely known horse dealing firm of
HALEY & Son of Caldwell, Idaho. He
said they have secured contracts from
three governments-British, French
and United States--for military horses
OF all sizes, and that he had Just re-
turned from hurried trip to New
York to close the contracts. While
at the Corncob ranch the other day
he phoned his son at Heppner, who
is working Morrow county, to get
busy and buy all the horses that he
could.-Fossil Journal.

SCHOOL NOTES.
BY Supt. S. +. Notson.

Last week the writer visited the
school at Morgan. Twenty pupils
are enrolled, and all seemed to be
working enthusiastically under the
direction of Miss Olianna Olsen. A
number of improvements have been
made recently; among them may be
noted the following: A new jacket
has been placed around the stove, a
new dictionary and metal shelf for
the same have been added to the
equipment, fine standard picture
has been placed upon the walls, new
blackboards have been purchased
the outbuil1ings have been repaired
and put into sanitary condition, and
new barn which accommodates ten
horses has been built The books in
the library have been properly listed,
and a correct record of the books is
kept.
At Cecil, Miss Esther Cox and Miss
Erma Davenport were busy with the
monthly tests. Since my former Wis
it, new adjustable, tan colored. can
vas window shades have been pur-
chased. They are certainly a great
convenience. When 1t is necessary
to have the shades all drawn, there is
still plenty of light in the room, and
the light is soft and agreeable to the
eye. A new standard picture has
been placed in each room. A new
fountain has been installed A fine
lot of playground apparatus has been
provided. There are several swings,
three see-saws, and slide. The
grounds have been cleaned up and
are in fine condition.
The writer also visited one school
in Gillian county, the Arlington
school. The Arlington people are
justly proud of their new building.
1t is built where it commands a fine
view of the mighty Columbia. In
the basement are two large play
rooms, which are reached by inclines
instead of stairs. On the first floor
four rooms have been finished and
are in use. They are we'll arranged
and are well equipped with appara-
tus. Some excellent pictures adorn
the walls. In the hall there are
drinking fountains. The third floor
is reached by an incline instead of
stairs. The rooms on this floor are
not all finished yet. Two rooms are
SO arranged as to be easily thrown
together, thus making a splendid
auditorium. This part of the build
ing will be finished to accommodate
the new county high school, which
will open this fall. Arlington deser-
yes to be congratulated upon the en-
terprise shown in erecting such a fine
school building.
