West Virginia then the people IN n'A'r

West Virginia conditions befor" rs

be coherent, but it must b. rCroGn'A'u
as such by West NirSlnianS them
selves before II can be recognized by
outsiders.
The necessity for telling the truth
about West Virginia IL not nearly so
great as the necessity for untanglNE
untruths. And this is not so nrcrS-
sary as remcdyinE conditions when
make II possible that untruthS be Sold.
In bringing West Virginia betor" INC
country and showing 1t to be the IDEAL
state II is. we have many hard far'S

0.-W. Highway Right Of Way
Across Gillian Is Inspected

County Judge Fowler, County
Commissioners Wade and Edwards
and State Highway Commissioner
Barratt went to Willow creek Thurs
day to look over the route of the Or
egon-Washing highway, across the
corner Of Gillian county.
The route as surveyed by the high
way engineers cuts up a number of
alfalfa farms, practically running
some of them. Owing to the protests
Of the Willow creek farmers, the
state and county road authorities are
trying to find a route along the foot
hills that will avoid cutting into the
chief outlet of Heppner to the Col
umbia highway. 1t is of little benefit
tc Gillian county, but this county
has to acquire a right of way for /
miles across the corner Of the county.
The cost of the right of way along
the present survey IS estimated at
$4,000 to 100000. Along the foot
hill route the cost will be but frac-
ton of that sum, though it is proba-
bic that construction costs will be
greater.-Condon Globe Times.

Young Ladies Given 32nd
Degree By Order ofC.C.C.

Two charming young ladies of
Heppner, the Misses Lorena Palma
teer and Blanch Fahy, teachers in
our school were given the 32nd de-
gree by the C. c. C.'s at the home
of Mrs. E. F. Campbell, where they
reside, on last Friday evening. This
organization is something on the
secret order and but a very select
few of the community are in on it.
1t is something akin to the X. X. X s
so far as we know anything about it
it may be degree Of that organi-
zation; those receiving its rites on
Friday evening can judge best of
this, but under the direction of Harry
Duncan and John Higley, the edify-
ing and solemn ceremonies were
performed in the proper manner and
fully impressed upon the recipients.
AS leading function of the occa-
son, however, a very elegant BIRTH
day dinner was served by Mrs.
Campbell, the bounties of which
were enjoyed to the limit by the COM
pany Of young people who are max
ing their home at the Campbell res
idence, and the Misses Palmateer
and Fahy were the recipients of
many we'll wishes, though no amount
of urging would cause them to reveal
the secret pertaining to the number
of years they have been sojourning
here among mortals.

TELEPHONE COMPANY
BEGINS EXTENSIONS

The Improvements to the local
telephone system, plans for which
have been in the hands of the COM
pany for many months past, we're be-
gun this week and will be carried on
to completion under the supervision
of R. R. Lee, foreman of the con-
struction department. Mr.. Lee brings
with him a number Of linemen and
others skilled in the technical work,
and a number Of local workmen will
be hired.
Practically a rebuilding of the
local system is the program. Wires
on Main street, Gale street and other
parts of the city will be encased in
cables, and the system extended and
enlarged to degree to take care Of
the estimated growth for the next ten
years. This work will mean the ex-
pending of about $4,000 in the city
at this time.

Stray Bullet Pierces Wind
shield Of Big Case Bus

While coming down the street Tu-
esday morning, and when little past
the corner of Gillian and Bisbee's
building, the wind shield of the Case
bus, driven by Top Reasoner, was
pierced by a bullet from high pow
er gun. The bus was headed down
Main street when struck, and Mr..
Reasoner figures that had he been a
few feet farther along the street it
would have been him instead of the
wind shield that was perforated. The
hole made by the ball was quite clean
cut, and from the bearing taken it
must have been fired by some party
ever the hill beyond the grave yard.
Mr.. Reasoner feels that his escape
from serious, if not fatal injury by
this stray bullet was little short of
People firing high power

TWO-COUNTY LEAGUE
NEARLY ORGANIZED

After several weeks of correspond
ence and work on the part af base
ball enthusiasts of Heppner and Con-
don, the forming Of a league between
the towns Of Morrow and Gillian
counties is now practically assured,
so we are informed by La Verne Van
Marter of this city, 1t has not been
fully settled whether Arlington will
come in, but they are working on the
matter and hope to be able to get in
line with Heppner, lone, and Condor
tc complete the league.
Mr.. Van Marter has been working
on this ball proposition for some
weeks and is gratified at the success
attained so far, and hopes to be able
to stage a number of good games at
Heppner Immediately following the
opening of the season. He desires
that the team promoted in this city
will be entirely local, and the other
towns going into the league will come
in on this program, doing away with
the practice heretofore followed of
importing outside players when
games were played, to the prejudice
of local men. This is putting the
sport on a far better basis and will
make it much more interesting to
the ball fans in each local commun-
ity, We hope that Mr.. Van Marter
and the others having the welfare
of the national game at heart will
be successful in adhering to this
rule strictly.
There is promise that much i'm
provement Of the grounds at Gentry
Field will be made. A grand stand
is in contemplation and will no doubt
be constructed, and other convent
ences will be installed there to make
the ball park more attractive.
A tag day to raise funds for the
equipment of the local ball players
with uniforms, balls, bats, ETC., is
staged for the 18th, on which date it
is hoped sufficient money will be
raised for this purpose.
The season will soon be at hand
for ball playing and it will not take
long to find out what talent can be
developed here.
