Senator Oson's senate bill No. 10 may be all right
and perhaps is At the time it reads in such way
that question has been raised to whether not it
would prevent person having abstract of piece
of real estate from using that abstract selling the prop

the seller bought the property 1t is also open to the
suspicion that it is calculated to shut out the small

THE END OF HARRY THAW

Harry Thaw seems the end of his stormy career
If he dies many will express satisfaction that his affairs
will longer fill the columns of the newspapers
will feel sympathy for unfortunate and perhaps mis-
guided young In his money had much to do with
his misadventures and his untmey end Raised in idle
and the companonshp Of the dssoute and dispat
ed easy find and follow the broad road that leads
to---death which told is the wages Of sin Yet
Thaw had done nothing particularly bad up the time
ne killed Stanford Whiteand considering his provoca-
ton and the benefit conferred upon society by the
moval of that lecherouS individual this act might have
been condoned. But for the attraction of the Thaw
millions Harry would have been easily cleared. The
temptation to blacma the mother and relatives was
strong for lawyers and the parasites that hang around
them to resist and the Thaw dragged for weary
years. worrying the devoted mother and to the disgust of
newspaper readers.
Quite likely if the real truth is ever known the latest
charge against Thaw mainly trumped up for another
raid upon the family fortune We would rather believe
that theory than any other the absence of conclusive
testimony to the contrary.
Somehow cannot but feel sorry for Harry Thaw

otherwise might have been useful member of society

Break Even On Trip.

The Heppner High basket ball team
returned Friday evening after their
trip into Sherman county and told
a tale of one defeat and one victory.
The defeat was met at the hands of
Grass Valley, whose team the boys
report, was not high school team,
but rather represented the best tai
ent in the basketball line the town
could produce. The score was %
to IA and the boys are very we'll
satisfied with the results. The next
evening. after the game with Moro
the score card showed a different re-
suit, for the Heppner team had man
aged to nose out a victory over the
Moro High School team. The result
was Is to 13. The boys have much
praise for the treatment they received
at the hands Of the Morites and say

fellows" D.

HEPPNER HIGH WINS
FROM |0NE..l6 TO 10

The Heppenr High School basket
ball team defeated the lone high
school at the Rink in this city last
Saturday night in one of the fastest
contests ever witnessed here. The
score at the end of the game was 16
to 10.
1t was a game wherein every
player was in the contest at all times.
The excellent guard work of Hughes
the big Heppner center, was a fea-
ture. Hughes held down his oppo-
nent Howell to one basket. Hughes
is given credit for winning the game
for Heppner, but the shifty foot work
of Nicholson, the Heppner forward,
was a contributing factor in deciding
the victory! Time and again Nickel
son get away for long dribbles and
on a few occasions brought the crowd
to it's feet with his spectacular goal
throwing. He missed but one try for
goal from the foul line position.
Lee Howell is easily the mainstay
of the lone team, but coach Coss-
man has builded around this husky
center, an aggregation Of able assis-
tants. Cochran and Sperry as guards
broke up the play of their opponents
time and again and were responsible
to a large degree In keeping the
Heppner score from soaring to .
much higher point.
John Blake of lone, through his
prompt and able decisions gave salts
faction as referee. Gay Anderson
also officiated.
In the girls game proceeding, lone
was victorious by score of to 2.
Merle Blake officiated for this game.

recovered when he got home, being
now about we'll again, however. Mr..
Kincaid is strong believer in Spring
lsowing of grain, and has been very
successful in sowing bulestem and red
chaff club, as these two varieties of
wheat are the best producers. He
lputs the grain in good and his ground
| is thoroughly worked and free from
weeds. Poor farming does not pay
at any time, and Mr.. Kincaid has
demonstrated that good crops can be
produced most any kind of a season
by spring sowing under the proper
conditions. His neighbOrs are begin
ming to take note of the fact that he
has never had failure from SPRING
Sown grain, and he has been farming
In Morrow county for the past thirty

That Elevator.
tBy Spencer Akers.)

Wy oPChSCl
OF all the bills the farmer pays,
The one he hates the most;
Is that big sack bill every fall,
Which eyes him like ghost.
He sure would never make complaint
If 'twasn't for the fact,
That grain is worth as much in bulk,
AS 'tis when it is sacked.
He pleaded with the warehouse men,
To build some elevators,
That he might store his grain in bulk
And beat the spectators.
The warehouse men did not respond,
And so the story goes,
The F. E. and c. U. of A.,
Was launched against the foes.
And thus the farmer came to know,
His all prevailing might,
And learned the one and only way,
In which to win fight.
The sack has been a constant drain,
Upon the farmers purse,
And all their wailings did not help
To eliminate the curse.
They bought the sacks with hard
earned cash,
And gave them to the mill;
Indeed the weight was figured off,
To sweeten well the pill.
Three-quarters of a pound indeed
They weigh. and nothing more,
Although a pound is taken off,
Amid their constant roar.
Now let the tillers of the soil,
Who will not be traitor,
Just please come forward with the
dough,
And build an elevator.
