Hennner Defeats EairYieX.

The local bunch of pick-ups defeat
ed the ball tossers of Fairview at the
Depot Grounds last Sunday by score
of 10 to S. The game started off
with the visitors getting three runs
across the first inning and the home
team one. For a time it looked like
losing game for Heppner, but the
locals picked up wonderfully in the
sixth and from that time on, every
thing worth picking, was taken by
Heppner. Jaynes, Raymond and
Knight, all old stars, played good
ball, and their staleness seemed to
have no i'll effect on their old style of
playing. The three of them were
strong at the bat. Husky" went
into the box in the sixth for Wilson,
who started strong. Dave picked up
some hot ones at third after being
supplemented by Knight in the box
For Fairview, F. Griffin started on
the mound and proved effective for a
few innings until the locals succeed
ed in getting his measure, and then
he was numerically walloped. Rich
ard Peterson finished the game for
the visitors. Both pitchers were given
good support, although the locals
were guilty of making more errors
than were their opponents. Hiatt al

throughout the game. Heppner will

Robert B. Wilcox, successful alfal-
ia raiser and dairyman of Willow
creek, was a Heppner visitor on Sat
urday. He announces that his al
falfa will soon be ready for the first
cutting and he will begin on it in a
couple of weeks. While grasshop-
pers were quite numerous in his
locality last season, he suffered no
particular damage and his alfalfa was
not injured in the least.
Mr.. Wilcox Is developing fine
farm on Willow creek west of Lexing-
ton, and he is also quite successful as
dairyman. He has adopted the
system Of cutting his alfalfa with a
chopper before feeding it to his cows
and he pronounces it success. The
animals eat it up thoroughly and
thrive well, presenting a better ap-
pearance than do those of his neigh
bors who feed from the stack without
cutting.
