PENDLETON TOOK GAME
FROM HEPPNER SUNDAY

Pendleton walked away with the
game in this city last Sunday when
they met the Heppner All-Stars in
nine long, listless innings. The Buck
aroos made a number of exciting
plays, including triple in the THU,
inning which seemed to drown all fu.
.ule hopes Of the local boys so far as
that particular game was concerned
1t was evident that the home boys
we're not up to snuff and failed to put
over their usual high class playing
Their batting was worse than rotten
and their fielding was on the same
par as their batting, Anderson being
about the only man on the entire
team who played anyways near to
form. The score was IA to 3.
A large crowd attended the game.
P. A. Anderson and Dave Wilson were
umpires and gave entire satisfaction
to both players and fans.
Jas. Wilson, who had charge of the
Pendleton team, is trying to arrange
for a game in Pendleton in the neal
future.

MORE MONEY RAISED
FOR RITTER ROAD

Through the enterprise of W. o.
Iinor and M. D. Clark, there will be
available $4,000 for more work on the
deppner-Ritter road. Messrs. Minor
and Clark went out among the bust
less men of Heppner last week aud
,aised $1,000. They had the assur-
ance from the county court that the
court would match dollar for dollar
aised by the business men.
Much preliminary work has been
done on the road, but there are Sec
IONS where surveys will be made,
placing the road on very easy grade
It is planned to start actual road
work within the next few days.
The Ritter people have been anx.
.ous to see the completion of road
which will give them an outlet thru
Heppner, thereby bringing them clos
or to market by many miles. The
4deppner-Ritter road agitation dates
back about twenty-five years and ii
will be gratifying to many of the old
liners to learn that benefits which
hey had strived for will come to the
younger and following generations.

WHAT SHERIFF KELSEY
FOUND AT HIS DOOR

What do you suppose Sheriff Oscar
Kelsay found on his doorstep the 9TH
er morning that had been placed
here very carefully during the night
and was looking up at him so plead
ingly out of its soft young eyes, as If
to say, Nobody wants me. so they
brought me to you"
1t was not a dear little baby.
1t was little baby deer!
Where it came from or who bro't
it, the sheriff hasn't the slightest idea.
3ut when he went to his Office at the
court house Friday morning he found
spotted fawn tied with cotton rope
to the knob of his office door. No one
IS allowed to have spotted fawn in
his possession, so being called in the
run of his official duties, out the Ser
ice creek way the sheriff took the
fawn along intending to turn it loose
in the woods.
The little animal is somewhat tame
and the thought that dogs coming
along the road or the coyotes would
kill it, smote the big heart of the man
and he brought 1t back. He has wired
state game warden Shoemaker for in
,tructions. Meanwhile the spotted
fawn is waxing fat on milk at 10
tents per and Sheriff Kelsay is pay
.ng the bill.-Fossil Journal.

BoARDMAN HAS STRONG
DELEGATION SATURDAY
Irrigation District and School District
Hold Elections.

A delegatiin of live wires from
Boardman we're in Heppner on Satur-
day, coming up to attend the Farmers
picnic and take advantage of this op-
portunity to place their section before
the rest of the county. The delega.
tion consisted of AP.Cobb, president
and F. E. Burns, secretary, of the
Boardman Commercial Club and ]
C. Ballenger, lumber dealer, and this
delegation was quite busy in seeing
that their section had proper recog-
milton here.
A representative of this paper had
very interesting conversation with
Mr.. Cobb, who, by the way. is prac
tical irrigationist and has had many
years of experience, gained on one OF
the finest projects in the northwest
He has come to Boardman and inter.
ested himself in this new venture on
the Columbia river and is absolutely
sure that Boardman will develop int
he best project of them all. Fur
thermore, Mr.. Cobb is a persisten
worker for the John Day project
good roads for the entire county, and
more particularly one that will con.
meet his section up with the county
seat. And if the people of his sec.
ton, backed up by such live wires as
we're in Heppner Saturday, do not gel
what they are after, there is little use
for the rest of us to get busy.
The West Extension Irrigation Dis.
trict held their election according t.
advertised schedule, which occurred
on the 10th inst. Col. Emmett Gala
han Of Boardman, Mr.. Camp Of Irri
gon and Mr.. Mcfarland of Umatilla

PROTOCOL IS ACCEPTED
ENTER ON FORTY YEARS
MARCH THROUGH DESERT"
GERMAN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
VOTES, 2o8 TO 115, ON RESo-
LUTON.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Weimar, July 10.-The resolution
ratifying the peace treaty was adopt
ed by the German National Assembly
here by a vote of POS to 115. The tex
CT the ratification resolution as intro
duced in the National Assembly con
sisted of two clauses, reading as fol
lows: "The peace treaty between Ger
many and the allied and associated
powers signed on June 20, 1919, and
the protocol belonging thereto, as well
as the agreement relative to the occu-
patton of the Rhineland signed the
same day, are agreed to.
This law comes into force on the
day of it's PRONUNCIATION"
Most of the ministers were present
at the meeting of the National AS
sembly and there was a full attend
ance of deputies.
DR.. Hermann Mueller, foreign min
lister, in introducing the government
bills, explained that the fastening of
the ratification order would bring
about the lifting of the blockade.
1--WE are about to enter upon a forty
years march through a desert" he
said. II can find no other term for
the path Of. suffering which fulfill
ment Of the treaty prescribes for U.S."
DR.. Peter SPAIN, leader of the Cath
ole Center party, said:
I'VE agreed to the treaty under
hard compulsion, to save ourselves
from anarchy and to preserve the
fatherland from internal ruin"
Herr Krelzig, Socialist; Professor
~Schuecking, Democrat; DR.. Traub,
National party, and Herr Kahl, Peo-
pies party, all violently protested the
injustice of the treaty, the impossl-
bility of its fulfillment, and declared
that the day Of Germany's liberation
would come.
These speeches were greeted with
such turbulent applause and hand
clapping that the President of the
Assembly called attention TO the fact
that handclapping was against the
rules, and threatened to have the gal
leries cleared.
The National party introduced an
amendment in favor of ratifying with
the express reserve that the sanction
of i%nternational. law experts Of repute
should first be obtained concerning
articles 227 TO $50, and that a neutral
court should be created to investigate
the responsibility for the war.
President Fehrenbach protested
against Alsace-Lorraine being torn
from Germany. He said that the
treaty of 1871 simply made good what
had been taken from Germany $50
years before. He hoped that the peo-
pie of Alsace-Lorraine would preserve
their German character, customs and
civilization.
Ninety-nine deputies abstained from
on the resolution to ratify the
peace treaty.

The R-34 poked her nose out of the
clouds northeast of the village and,
after c%ircling the flying field three
times, glided gently to the ground, and
ten minutes later was housed In the
dirigible shed. The voyage from Long
Island was without particular incident
and was completed in approximately
seventy-five hours.
AS the K-34 approached the field,
she dropped from a height of 5000
feet to 1900 feet. The 400 men who
were to aid the airship In landing
were ordered to their positions and
waited silently as the ship clrcled the
field, dropping lower and lower.
When Maj. @. III. Scott, her COM
mander, had Unanswered the airship
into position for the landing, the water
ballast was released to steady her and
a rope was thrown from the bow.
The rope was grasped by eager hands
and the giant ship moved across the
