SECOND TIE GAME
OF THE SEASON
lone and Heppner School Teams Bat
tie to 6 to 9 Score on tue Egg
City GridiIOn Last Sat-
urday.

The second tie score of the Nor
row County Interscholastic League
football season came abou. last Sat-
urday at lone after the Egg City boys
had battled through four long quar-
ters unable to take the lead.
After the to score at Heppner
last Saturday week ago, when the
Lexington high school team came so
near to defeating the local team,
lone was doped to win by a large
margin when they clashed with
Heppner, inasmuch as they had taken
the Lexington huskies into camp in
the first game by the big score of SO
to u. Consequently the large crowd
at lone was taken completely off their
feet Saturday when Coach Motleys
green team received the ball on the
first kickoff and marched down the
field for a touchdown a very few min
utes after the game started. Hughes
Of Heppner was easily the star of the
game. His getting away for large
gains through broken field caused
more than one sensation.
The two teams were very evenly
matched and both displayed weakness
in defensive playing. Both sides
worked the forward pass several
times successfully and on two occa
sions Heppner got away for large
gains on this style of play.
Heppner showed great resistance
powers in the last half of the game
when the lone boys had crowded
them back to within four yards of
their own goal line. The Heppner
line held like stone wall and their
opponents finally lost the ball on
downs 1t was here that halfback
Hayes, of Heppner, received a severe
injury to his nose while tackling
Fat" Blake, the heavy charger OF
the lone team. Other men who did
stellar work for lone were "Rusty'
Cochran, Earl and Roy Blake. Smith,
Wattenburger, Hughes, Wright and
Nicholson showed up best for Hepp-
ner, although McCraw, Judd, Parker,
Slocum and Ingrum did yeoman work
on the line.
Heppner and lone will clash again
at Heppner on the 18th of November,
Robert Sperry as referee and Ar
thur Crawford as umpire served as
officials for the game.

OREGON LIFE MAKES
PROMPT PAYMENT

Last Monday a check for $4,000
was delivered to Miss Luella Stamp
of this city by Robert H. Young,
agent for the Oregon Life Insurance
Company The check was payment
in full amount for the policy which
Andrew A. Stamp took out with that
company only a few months before
his death. Miss Stamp was made
beneficiary in the policy.
One feature of the paid policy is
that Mr.. Stamp took out the insur-
ance only after much persuasion, the
company taking his note for the first
premium. Mr.. Stamp had stated
many times that his one great ambi-
tion was to send his sister to college
to prepare herself for teaching. The
$4,000 which she receives on his life
insurance policy will now enable her
to carry out his ambition.

their wishes. Individually, he ia
vored taking up the work at once on
the Willow creek road and making
this a good piece of highway, feeling
that it would be a stimulous to bet
ter work all over the county.
M. r. Morgan, of lone, did not ia
vor the tax at this time. He has no
objections to good roads as princi-
pie, but feels that much money has
been spent and wasted on roads, and
yet no improvement. He would not
feel so bad about the matter if he
was assured that there was really to
be some good accomplished on the
Willow creek road, and the highway
between lone and Heppner put in
good shape.
Upon the question being put to a
vote, the sentiment prevailed in favor
of holding the elections in the various
districts to decide the question of the
tax.
AS stated in the beginning, the
meeting was enthusiastic, and result
ed in bringing out line gathering
of the citizens of lone and vicinity.

AN OBITUARY.

Josiah Thomas Boothby, who was
taken to Portland for an operation
for cancer, passed away Monday at /
p M, and The Dalles lost one of her
most respected and valuable citizens.
Mr. Boothby was SO years of age. For
many years he had been a resident of
this city. In 1898 he was married
to Lily May Hayden and from this
union there were born three children,
| Thomas Josiah, aged 16; Kenneth
Sterl, aged 8; and Harold Glen, aged
Z. The names of his stepchildren
are, Marion Horner of Oakland, Cal,
Mrs Ceola Helger of Sheridan, Ore.
Harry Horner of Kent, Ore, and
Clyde Horner of The Dalles; also two
grandchildren, children of Mrs Hell
ger Mr.. Boothby also leaves to
mourn his loss brother, John, and
his stepmother of Lexington. Ore.
Mr.. Boothby was a man who loved
his family and always labored dill
gently to provide for them and make
his home a happy one. He made no
distinction between his own children
and his stepchildren, but seemed to
possess that rare spirit that made
him love those about him and made
them all love him. Good cheer and
| sympathy was felt wherever Thomas
Boothby was. He was a good hus-
band and loss is felt keenly by those
who love him so dearly.
| All The Dalles sympathize deeply
with the family in their bereavement.
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the Christian church, the
Rev. Leon L. Myers officiating The
Dalles Weekly Cronicle.
