Heppner Takes First Game.

The Heppner War Babies started
the season right last Sunday by ta-
king the big end of 7 to 5 score in
a game of base ball with the Lexing-
ton Trench Diggers on the Lexing-
ton diamond. The game was fight
from start to finish, neither side hav-
ing a very great advantage at any
time although the War Babies mana
ged to stay a little in the lead from
the start. The Trench Diggers were
good clean sports, and the game was
all the more enjoyable because of the
small amount of Grabbing" that was
evidenced. P. A. Anderson, of Hepp-
ner, umpired the game and there was
never a question as to his decisions,
both sides feeling that they had been
treated as fair as was possible.
The War Babies and Trench Dig
gers will probably clash again in
Heppner in a couple of weeks. Next
Sunday the War Babies meet the lone
Kaiser Killers on the Egg City dia-
mond, and 1t is expected that the
blood will flow freely when these two
avowed enemies again meet in the ma
tional sport. The Lexington boys are
scheduled for game with the Goose
berry lads next Sunday.

Col. John NJ. Bentley, Pendleton Pio-
neer Visits Here.

Colonel John NJ. Bentley, Pendle-
tons sterling pioneer, is visiting in
Heppner this week. He is an uncle
of Clyde, Dick, Glen and Jake Wells
Of this city. Mrs. Bentley and the
mother of the Wells boys were sis
ters.
Col Bentley has figured promin-
emily in the life Of Pendleton and
Umatilla county for years. He was
the assessor of Umatilla county at the
time Morrow county was created. He
also served as sheriff OF UmatilIa
county. In the early days. Col. Bent
ley engaged in farming and also op-
Grated a saw mill. The mill burned
in 1892, during the hard times and
caused financial loss to its owner Of
$4,000.
As Col. Bentley says, II have gone
fiat broke two or three times during
my life but now have sufficient of the
worlds goods to get by In comfort
and without working"
Mr.. Bentley was an auctioneer in
Umatilla county for Is years and it
was while following this profession
that he was given the title of colon
ell. He was a lieutenant during the
Indian wars.
AS a veteran lodge man, we doubt
If any other man in Umatilla county
can surpass the record of Col. Bent
ley. He wears a veterans jewel in
three orders, the Masonic, Knights of
Pythias and Odd Fellows. He was
the first man to take the rank work
in Damon Lodge, Knights of Pythias,
at Pendleton.
Although Col Bentley is approach
ing the four score mark in life's jour
ney, he is very active man. He ma
kes visit to Heppner every once in
a while as he says, Il always get
much pleasure in visiting Heppner,
for I have watched its growth from
the time when the ground was cover
ed only with sage brush and stage
line ran from Pendleton through to
The Dalles."

BOYS TRAINING AT
'"U" WITNESS THE
WAR RELICS TRAIN

Yesterday afternoon the men train
ing at the university under Lieutenant
Gaynor. were given the privilege of
reviewing the war relics train which
made such an impression on the citi-
zens of Grand Forks during its short
stay in the city yesterday afternoon.
b 220 men from the university
marched in from the camp in SQUAD
formation, passing up Fourth street
to Swift and Co., and from there be-
tween Swifts and Nash Brothers to
the train where they passed through
In double file, led by Lieutenant Cay
nor and Corporals Carver and Kerr
and several of the other noncommis-
stoned officers.
The men expressed an unusual
amount of interest in the collection
and their appreciation was made evi.
dent. So
Considerable appreciation was ex
pressed for the privilege the men
were granted in being able to witness
the unusual collection. Coming from
the train the boys formed a COMPANY
and when all were present returned
Immediately to camp, marching in a
column of squads.
Trooper A. H. O'Connor, one of the
speakers accompanying the war relics
train highly complimented the bows
on their work at the university and
for the interest they have taken in
military instruction. :

instructed thoroughly by the caddy
organization as to his duties.
1t was impressed on him that he
was not merely a carrier Of clubs, but
that it was incumbent on him to be
alert in watching his employers ball,
to be handy at all times with the bag,
so that the desired club could be Sc
lected without delay, and to keep alb
solutely quiet during a stroke. Prizes
were offered for the best showing in
efficiency, and the educational side of
the caddy democracy was success.
Finally there a moral ques-
ton. One of the members missed
some unused golf balls after a round
of the links. He reported to the cad
dy master, and the loss was placed
before the caddy committee on hon
esty.
The boy who had caddied for the
member losing the balls from his bag
was placed on trial with considerable
formality. A lad, whose father was
ar. attorney, presided at trial; and,
after evidence had been given, the
caddy pleaded guilty. The court held
q conference and decided to expel
the delinquent, who vas thence forth
barred from the links, and pointed
out to,the other caddies as an example
OF What would happen to- caddies at
tempting to fitch balls.
1t developed during this case that
caddies frequently made free to take
balls from the bags of visitors to golf
clubs. feeling that the guest would not
so readily miss the balls, or make
complaint II he did discover the loss.
Since the ostracizing Of the pilfering
caddy, there has been no report OF
stolen balls at Westmoreland.
