TON HIGH SCHOOL 19
Locals Add to Winnings BY Defeat
ing Basket Ball Team From
tie Irrigation Town.

Heppner met and defeated the
Hermlston High School basket ball
team on the local floor last Friday
nlght by score Of 29 to 10. AL
though there was wide difference
in the score, there was not such a
wide difference in the playing of the
two teams, and for good, aggressive
team work, Hermiston took the lead
In Biakeslee and Longhorn, the Ir-
rigationists have two forwards who
are exceptionally good basket shoot
ers. The slick floor worried the Wis
lting team some, but they seemed to
get over the floor in fast time. Yea
ger, for Heppner at guard, played
the best game for his side, and was
high point winner in the number of
baskets annexed.
The game was free from rough
ness. Shotwell, Hermiston guard,
was injured when he ran into the ell
bow of an opposing player, and Johns
replaced him in the second half. A
good crowd witnesses the game.
The two teams were as follows:

MORROW COUNTY TO Be
ADVERTISED At FAIR
Pamphlets Telling of Our Wonderful
Resources Will BE Given Out
For Publicity at San
Francisco.

At the meeing of the Heppner
Commercial Club Monday evening,
w. W. Smead, secretary of the Nor
row County Fair Board, told of the
necessity of having some concise
facts in printed form to distribute to
visitors in conjunction with the ex-
hibit from this county at the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition which opens
month. Upon the motion of Mr..
Smead, president Notson appointed
a committee of three to collect the
proper data which they will prepare
for the printer. C. C. Patterson, j.
A. Waters and W. W. Smead compose
this committee. The pamphlet will
contain about thousand words and
will be in the form of folder of
eight pages. Upon motion of ]. P.
Conder, finance committee was ap-
pointed.
The club went on record as being
opposed to any change in the sched
ule of the Hardman-Heppner mail
route, in regard to the new route to
Monument. The club is much Op-
posed to a night drive from Heppner
to Hardman, as was suggested by Mr.
Carsner. The petitions for the new
route have been drawn up, one being
sent to Monument and the other to
R. j. Carsner near Spray. In their
work, the committee, consisting of
]. j. Nys, ]. L. wilkins and A. M.
Phelps, was greatly assisted by En-
met Cochran and E. c. Keeny of
Monument, who are thoroughly con-
versant with conditions and people
in their section.
Mr.. Smead, on behalf of the Nor
row County Fair Association, regis
tered a kick against holding colt
show in the Spring. Mr.. Smead's be-
lief is, that greater good for all con-
cerned will be derived by holding the
colt show at the time of the county
fair in the fall. Every show held in
dependently of the fair, calls for an
appropriation, and inasmuch as the
court makes allowances for shows
and fairs of $1,000, the fair appro-
priation is cut down so much, and
| thereby detracting from instead of
adding to the success of the fair. 1t
is considered probable that the colt
show will be held in the fall as a
special feature of the Third Annual
Morrow County Fair.
In order that the resources of Nor
row county may be exploited at every
possible opportunity, the Heppner
Commercial Club is asking all farm
ers who have photographs of their
homes, or ranch scenes of any at
tractive nature, to donate the same
to the club for publicity purposes.

readings, songs and dialogues, and
we wish to say that the people of our
sister city should be proud of the tai
ent possessed by the pupils of their
high school.
In this connection we will mention
that Prof Doak has been retained as
principal of the lone school on a two
year contract. He has introduced
much new work into the school this
year, and is planning better things
for the future, in all of his plans
beinf heartily supported by the
sfhos4s3c-.s. In the furtherance of
these plans, it is found necessary to
add more room to the present build
ing and this is TO be done during the
present summer by raising the build
ing up and putting in a basement
In this will be installed a complete
heating plant, and rooms and appara.
tus for the domestic science and man.
ual training departments.
The high school has an enrolment
of "a this year and the pupils are do
ing good work.

A Good Man Passes Away.

w. E. Mckinney, aged 76 years
died in TeXhoma, Monday, Jan. 18th,
at 7:15 p. m. On Wednesday at II
a. m, funeral services were conduct
ed at the Methodist church by Rev.
George l.. Wolfe in the presence of
hundreds of friends, after which the
remains were followed to the Texas
cemetery by large funeral cortege,
where interment was made.
Mr.. Mckinney and family came to
TeXhoma from Colorado more than a
year ago and their friends are num-
bered by those who have made their
acquaintance. Mr.. Mckinney was a
good, clean, Christian gentleman.
The regrets in the loss of such a man
as he, are great.
The wife, one daughter and one
son composed the family who resided
with the husband and father, and
one son who is making his home else
where was present to attend the fu-
neral, all of whom, besides many
other relatives are left to attest the
sad departure of their kinsman.
The Times joins the may friends
in extending coincidence to the be-
reaved relatives in their hours OF
grief and sorrow.-Texhoma (Okla-
homa) Times.
Willis Mckinney was for many
years resident of Morrow county
living on Mckinney creek on a por-
ton of the place now owned by Chas
Fuller. This was in the early pion-
eer days of this section and the little
creek took its name from him. In
those days he ran cattle and later en-
gagged in the sheep business. He will
be remembered by many of the older
settlers here.
Mr.. Mckinney located here in
1870, coming from the Willamette
Valley. He was a native of the state
of Missouri. His first wife was Mar
garet c. Adkins, sister of J. j. Ad-
kins, of this city. She died in Hepp-
ner in November, 1880. Mr.. Nc
Kinney disposed of his place here
shortly afterwards and in 1888 de-
parted for Missouri, going by the way
of Montana, where he sold his sheep,
after running them there for time.
In later years he had resided in
Berthoud, Colorado, and about year
ago removed to Oklahoma, where he
had property interests. Mr.. McKin-
ney will be remembered by his old
! friends here as man Of fine char
acter and a neighbor and citizen OF
worth.

of the campaign are the 18th to the

Child Welfare Day. One method OF
raising money for this cause is for
the school children to sell flags. II
pupils who will undertake to sell
flags on the 18th Will report to me

try to supply them with the flags
which will be furnished by the COM

CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY
A jolly Good Time Is Had at the
Farm Home of MIR. and Mrs.
Laxton McMUrray on Rhea
Creek,

Friends and neighbors of Mr.. and
Mrs. Laxton McMurray, who reside
on the Henry Padberg place on Rhea
creek, gathered at that home on Fri
day eevning to the number of forty
or more and had one of the greatest
times Of their lives.
The occasion was the End wedding
anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. McMur-
ray, and this the second event of the
sort. The Padberg home is situated
about seven miles up Rhea creek
from lone and tie McMurray's enjoy
the friendship of large number of
the folk of that little city. Hence it
was that about eight auto loads of
people pulled themselves over the
muddy roads from lone and joined
with other neighbors of the family in
the festivities of the evening.
The principal feature was a splen-
did dinner prepared by the hostess,
served nearly entirely from the pro-
duce of the farm. In fact everything
placed before the guests had been
prepared from the productions of the
farm and garden and the meal was a
sumptuous one. This is fully and ap-
propriately testified to by the as peo-
pie who surrounded the table.

good folks and nothing pleases them
better than just such a visit as this
from their friends. Other entertain
ment was prepared for the guests and
games and music enlivened the eve
ming until late hour. Places at the
table were chosen by chasing out a
number engaged somewhere in the
labyrinth of an extensive cobweb.
You caught up your strand of the
web and followed this out, no telling
where, until you came to a number
fastened to it which designated your
place at the table. The guests were
surprised at the extent of this cob
web for it ran from one room to an
other and certainly required much
work in its construction. 1t was the
means of creating a lot of jollity and
amusement.
At an appropriate time, Mr.. and
Mrs. McMurray were presented with
an elegant rocker In neat and fit
| ting speech by Rev. j. l.. Jones, Of
lone, the gift of the friends present.
The guests then departed with show
ers of congratulations upon the host
and his good wife and fluctuations
for their future welfare.

lone SCHOOL TAKES
INTEREST IN DEBATE

1t was our pleasure to be present
on last Friday afternoon and listen
to splendid program rendered by
the lone High School Literary. This
society is just beginning to get under
headway, and the debate on this oc-
casion was the second they have par
ticipated in. While some of the par
Elephants were little timid, the SUBJ
ject discussed was handled quite we'll
and brought out the fact that the
high school of lone has some fine
material in the line of debaters, and
such that could we'll defend their in
stitution against the talent of the
other schools of the county. Prof.
Doak is an enthusiast along this line
of endeavor and believes much in de-
veloping the minds of his pupils by
the exercising of their reasoning fac
ulties. He has in mind the develop
ment Of debating team and hopes
that it will not be long until a league
is formed of the schools in the Will
low creek valley, their best debaters
brought out and some interesting
contests held. Those taking part in
the debate on Friday were James
Tomlin and Mearl Blake, for the af
firmative and Kenneth Blake and
Lulu Calkins, negative. The ques-
tion debated was Resolved, that the
beauties of nature are more pleasing
