Selma Singles Out Railroads
as Only Agencies That Did
Not Cooperate in
Social Event

Selma, sAla., November 24.-(Spe-
cial 1.-THE railroads entering Selma
were singled out this morning as the
only industries which did not give
their whole hearted support to the
committee which put over the Selma
social event, held in this city, Thurs
day and Friday November 16 and II.
This criticism of the carriers came
In a resolution introduced by Morgan
Richards, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce. The resolution also
was a vote OF thanks to those who
worked TO make the social event a
success, and it was adopted unani
mously by the committee.
The clause which referred to the
railroads, said. THE committee feels
that il had the whole hearted support
of every interest of Selma except
that of the railroads, and the secre-
this matter with the executives of the
tary Is hereby instructed to handle
railroads entering Selma in an effort
to find out IL the support OF the
railroads was Withheld from this event
on account of any shortcomings of
the citizens Of Selma.
Mr.. Richards explained that the
matter Of lower rates ntrains en-
tering this city was taken up with
w. H. Howard of Atlanta, chairman
OF the Southeastern Passenger as
ISOLATION, who was asked to secure
special rates on trains during the
event. Mr. Howard took the matter
up with the different lines and wrote
the lines found 1t would be impos-
s;ble to grant this request.

Fire Damages Penland Resi-
dence AT l2O'CIock Today

Just at noon today fire broke out
at the residence of Mrs. Rebecca
Penland, starting from defective
fue in the kitchen at the back Of
the house. Before it was discover
ed by Mrs. Penland, who was at
work running the lawn mower in
the yard just at the time, it had gain
ed considerable headway, and by the
time help arrived the fire had spread
pretty we'll over the house under the
roof. Prompt work soon had the
fire under control and no extensive
damage was done. The furnishings
of the residence were promptly re-
moved and saved from damage by
fire and water and apparently the
greater damage to the house was
caused by water. There was a strong
wind blowing from the north at the
time, and had the fire got out Of
control once there would have been
no telling how far it would have
reached.

RAY YOUNG IS IMPROVING

Ray Young, who was so seriously
burned in a powder explosion near
Lexington last week, and who has
since been under the care of DR.. Nc.
Murdo at the Heppner Surgical hos
pital, is reported today to be slowly
improving, though not yet out ol
danger. His physician states that all
symptoms are better now. Mr.. Young
has apparently passed the crises ii
his condition and should gradually
improve. 1t developed that his burn:
were much more serious than ap
peared at first and it is owing to the
fact that he was enjoying perfec
health at the time Of the acciden
that he is doing so well at present
DR.. Attelson, a specialist Of Portland
came in last night and went over th'
case thoroughly, leaving early thi'
forenoon. He found everything
possible being done and thinks Mr.
Young should now pull through al
right. He appears to be much bette
today than for several days past bu
his recovery will necessarily be SLOW
because Of the very deep burns OF
legs and arms.

Sunday Game Postponed

A game of ball had been schedul-
ed for next Sunday on the local dia-
mond between Moro and Heppner,
but we were Informed by Manager
Van Marter yesterday that the game
had been called off by Moro owing
to the fact that there was big doings
on at the home town for the week
end and they desired to have the ball
game there. As consequence the
Heppner team will go over to Moro
and play there on next Sunday. The
following Sunday Condon's team
will come to Heppner again for an
other game, at which time the locals
hope to be able to put it over them
and make up for the losses a Mon
day and Tuesday of this week.
Moro is said to have one of the
best teams playing in this section
this season, and they are out to take
everything in sight. They will mix
with Condor this week, and then on
the 18th will come to Heppner for
the game that was scheduled for the
coming Sunday.

LIVE FOREST NOTES Of
THE GURDANE DISTRICT

Work as been started on the road
and telephone maintenance work Of
the district. The severe storm OF
last November and the unusually
heavy fall of snow during the win
ter have played havoc with the
roads and telephone lines, making
the maintenance quite heavy. The
lateness of the season has greatly
delayed getting onto the higher
ground. The road between Ukiah
and Ellis Ranger Station is clear
of logs and down trees and much Of
the loose rocks have been removed
As soon as the snow drifts are gone
and the ground settled the road will
be open for travel. The impossible
piece of road in the gulch in the
Sturdivant pasture has been detour.
ed by new construction.
w. S. Casteel has again accepted
the position of guard and is working
with Ranger Woods in maintenance
work. Mr., Casteel will probably be
stationed at Ditch creek ranger sta.
tion during the fire season.
The snow is going rapidly and the
ground is settling very soon after
becoming bare. 1t is probable that
when the feed does start that the
long days of sunshine will bring il
on rapidly. The stockmen are volun.
tarily holding their stock off the
range.

MEMORY Of HEROES
PROPERLY HONORED

Memorial Sunday was fittingly OBJ
served by union services at the Fed
Grated church on last Sunday morn
ing under the auspices of Rawins
Post, G. A. R. of this city. A rem
nant of three Grand Army men were
in attendance, and number Of
members Of the W. R. c., while Dor
ic Lodge No. 20, K. of p, attended
in a body. The church was filled to
capacity to listen to the sermon de-
livered by W. o. Livingstone, pastor
Of the Christian church, who was
assisted in the services by Rev. E. L.
Moore, pastor of the Federated
church.
The Sunday services in a large
measure prepared the people for the
proper observance of Decoration
Day on Tuesday, when great num-
bers of citizens joined in with the
G. A. R., W. R. c., Boy Scouts and
Knightst of Pythias and marched to
the cemetery, where short services
were held about the w. R. c. mon
ument and a short patriotic address
was delivered by Rev. E. L. Moore,
following which the K. Of P. memor-
ial service was said over the grave
of departed brother, and ageneral
decoration Of the graves of the de-
parted took place. The business
houses of the city were closed all
day.
A casual passing over the ceme-
terry grounds revealed the fact that
a large number Of graves were very
beautifully decorated with flowers
and evergreens and many lots had
been put in especially attractive
shape for the occasion. There SEEM
ed to be better general spirit Of
observance of Decoration Day, indi-
eating that our people are taking
time, at least one day out of the
year, to stop and think in a proper
manner Of the departed That the
day may become more and more sa-
cred as well as universally sbserved
is the wish Of all right thinking peo-
pie.

About forty-fe ex-service men

FISHERMEN OFF THE JOB
until COMING SEASON

A number of our local fishermen
have retired from the fascinating
sport of enticing the fnny tribe from
the sparkling waters of the creeks
of Morrow county for this season,
at least, having been summarily re-
lieved of their tackle and licenses.
1t all came about last Sunday
when these gentlemen were enjoy
ing little outing for their health up
in the timber and bethought them
selves Of the necessity of gathering
in some fish for the children" The
trouble was that a deputy game war
den came along unannounced and in
peeking into the numerous baskets
found trout short of the requirements
numerous fish less than six inches
in length having been dropped care
lessly into the baskets instead Of be-
ing thrown back into the creek to
die. Mr.. Warden would accept no
explanations, so the gentlemen were
labeled to appear in the court of
Judge Cornett on Monday, where
they received their sentence ami paid
their assessments and left their re
grets."
An ex-sheriff, deputy county off,
cial and prominent barber of the
city were among those taken in, and
the fines they received is but drop
in the bucket to the guying they have
received at the hands Of their
friends.

LAW ON IRRIGATION DIS
TR|CT UPHELD BY COURT

Findings and conclusions Of law
and a decree in the case of the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad Co. and Dan
P. Smythe and other big property
owners against the John Day Irri-
CATION District have been returned
by Judge Gilbert W. Phelps follow
ing several months in litigation in
the case.
Some of the chief features involv-
ed in the case which the court has
decided are as follows:
The law under which the district
is organized is a valid law and the
district is regularly organized.
The contract entered into between
the district and Lewis and Clark,
engineers, was valid at the time il
was made.
The special assessment Of so cents
the acre, levied in 1920, is valid and
constitutes a lien on the land, the
court rules.
The contract on January 4, 1921,
between the irrigation district and
the engineering firm was beyond the
power of the board to make.
Warrants up to the amount Of
$4,000 for the services Of Lewis
and Clark should be paid. The court
finds that the testimony does not in
dicate just what sum in excess OF
this amount the engineering firm is
entitled to receive, but indicates that
this payment may Be adjusted be-
tween the district and the engineers
failing which the engineers have the
right to bring action in court to have
the amount of fair compensation es-
tablished.
One of the chief questions brought
up by the litigation is whether pres.
ent state laws applying to the orga.
nization of irrigation districts is con-
stitutional. Judge Phelps holds that
the law is constitutional.
In the decree, the court sets forth
the remuneration the secretary oil
the board was entitled 10 receive
The exact amount due the board:
former attorney, F. A. McMenamin
can not be ascertained from the test
imony introduced, the court holds.
The litigation has been In court
since early last spring. Testimony
has heen given on several occasion:
since that time.-East Oregonian.

LADY WALKING ON TRACK
WOUNDED BY z BULLET

While walking up the railroad
track Sunday evening, just before
the arrival of the local train, Mrs.
Floyd Tolleson, who was accompan-
led BY her little daughter, received
a painful wound in the hip from a
shot from a 22-calibre rifle. AT the
time of the accident, Mrs. Tolleson
was near the Frank S. Parker farm
house. Carol Shurte and Earl Mer-
ritt, two boys, were shooting in that
vicinity and had just passed her a
short distance when she was struck
by flying bullet. The lady was
able to walk on to the depot where
her husband works, when a physi-
clan and assistance was called and
she was taken home. The wound
was a deep one and the physician
was unable to locate the ball.
DR.. Chick, who is attending Mrs.
Tolleson, states that she is getting
along all right now and should soon
be over her injuries.
There is stringent laws against
shooting on the public highways and
on the railroad right Of way. This
accident should be warning to all
those who are in the habit of doing
promiscuous shooting in the environs
Of the city that they should exercise
great precaution, If the little child
at the side of Mrs. Tolleson had
been struck, the results might have
been far different, as it might also
have been with the mother had she
been wounded in some vital part Of
