KsR-Cify Lads Score a Safety and
Win From Heppner 2 to (I.
Two to nothing with the larger
digits in favor of lone was the re
sult of the Election Day football
game played on the Depot Grounds
la'it Tuesday. The visitors scored
the w inning points in the first quart
er when Hayes, the Heppner quarter
back was downed behind his own
goal line after receiving a long punt.
It was a came of see-saw from the
first kick-off, with lone on the ag
gressive throughout the major por
tion. Many forward passes were at
tempted by both teams but only a few
were successful. In this department
lone excelled. Heppner resorted to,
and made more yardage by line plun
ging with Adklns, Cox and Wright
carrying the ball. The locals showed
poor form In executing their end runs
the interference not being as perfect
as it might be. On the other hand,
lone made a dismal failure in at
tempted line rushes, and at times did
not make yardage, but time and
again the shifty lone back field form
ed excellent interefrence and skirted
the ends for big gains.
There were few offences on either
side, and the entire game was free
from the customary rag chewing and
beefing. Heppner fans Bhowed some
disfavor when their team was penal
ized 15 yards after Hayes had tackel
ed an lone man who had signaled for
a fair catch. Most of the penalties
for off-side were paid by lone.
Heppner'g defeat might be attrib
uted to over-confidence, but Coshow
had itrenghtened his line-up Blnce
the first battle with such men as Bob
Sperrv and Ray Blake, and these hus
kies had to be reckoned with in the
struggle of Tuesday. Blake's punt
ing was of a superior quality, gain
ing more yardage than did Adkins
by the same method. Sperry, how
ever, did not do the spectacular, as
it was at first feared he might do.
,JIe was slow on the aggressive, but
proved a stumbling block in the way
of the Heppner advance.
Heppner used the same line-up
that entered the initial play at lone,
all of them being high school
students. lone, ' however, did not
follow traditions long established,
and in the last game entered men
who have been out of school for sev
eral years. The glory of victory for
lone will be diminished with the
thought that it was not alone through
the efforts of lone high school play
ing and spirit that won the game, but
rather a borrowed aid. They should
hold stead fast to agreement with
their neighboring school in the fu
ture. Officials for the game were Arthur
Crawford, referee; Walter Cochran,
umpire; Fayne Coshow, head lines
man; Glenn Y. Wells and Rufus
Cochran, time keepers.
Lexington Boys in Trouble.
Six young boys of Lexington were
brought to Heppner Monday by Sher
iff Evans and arraigned before Jus
tice Cornett on a charge of demolish
ing a milk wagon belonging to
Wightman Bros. The boys plead
guilty and a fine of fifty dollars a
piece was suspended for thirty days
on the condition that the boys pay
the amount of damages done to the
demolished wagon. A seventh mem
ber of the hallow'een party, which
made the jaunt up Willow creek from
Lexington, made a hasty departure
for other points and has not yet been
apprehended. The boys smashed the
wagon by running It down a hill over
a high bluff. It can never be re
stored to its former usefullness as a
milk wagon, according to the state
ment made by the owners before the
Justice court.
John Voile, the oldest member of
the Lexington hallow'een party, who
made his get away after Saturday
night's crusade, was captured by the
deputey sheriff of Gilliam county at
Arlington yesterday. He will be re
turned here to stand trial.

session at the court house this week.

Defeated Candidate For
Governor.
CHAMBERLAIN HAS SUBSTANTIAL LEAD OVER R. A.
BOOTH AND SINNOTT IS RE-ELECTED IN SECOND
DISTRICT OREGON VOTES FOR DRY AMENDMENT.
N. R. McVay and wife of Golden
dale, Wash., arrived In this city yes
terday and are Risking at the home
of Spencer Akers. Mr. McVay was
formerly a prominent farmer in the
Gooseberry section.
City Aids Library.
At a meeting of the city council
last Monday evening, an appropria
tion of $100 was made to the library
asocif.tion, for the year 1914. The
city fathers also showed their ap
preciation of the library by deciding
to levy a tax for library purposes in
the yjar 1915.
Dr. James Withycombe of Corval
113 was elected governor of the state
cf Oregon last Tuseday by a large
majority over his nearest opponent,
Dr. C. J. Smith, of Portland. Indi
cations from over the state are that
the largest vote in it3 history was
polled, due to the suffrage recently
extended to the women. Dr. Withy
combe has been connected with the
Oregon Agricultural College for
many years and while there, made
many friends all over the state. That
these friends stood by him on elec
tion day is evident from the large
vote he received.
N. J. Sinnott, representative from
the second Oregon district, received
the sanction of his constituents to re
turn to Washington and Morrow
county gave him a substantial vote.
George L. Cleaver was his nearest
oponeut, running as an independent
on the prohibition platform. Sam
Evans, democrat of Klamath Falls
did not run as well in Morrow county
and did not receive tue full democrat
ic vote.
Early returns from the state indi
cated that Chamberlain had a lead
over Booth for United States Senator
by 10,000, due largely to the big vote
given Chamberlain in Multnomah
county. Later reports say that Booth
by his substantial gains in up-state
counties, had reduced thi3 lead to
1500. It is predicted that Chamber
lain will finally lead by a safe ma
jority. All other state republican candi
dates have apparently made a clean
sweep. Thomas B. Kay was re-elected
treasurer by a big majority, as
was Frank J. Miller for railroad com
missioner and J. A. Churchill for
Superintendent of Schools. John H.
Lewis was re-elected state engineer,
and the measure which would make
that(offlce appointive has apparently
been defeated.
In the first Oregon district, Willis
C. Hawley, republican has been re
elected, and in Multnomah county,
which comprises the third district,
C. N. McArthur, republican, has won
out over A. F. Flegal, democrat, and
A. Walter Lafferty, independent.
The prohibition amendment car
ried every county in the state with
the exception of Multnomah, and
there the result was close. The wets
figured they would have to win that
county by, 16,00 to overcomme the
dry gains In the outlying counties.
In Morrow county the drys have won.
Mt. Vernon precinct, the largest in
the county, gave the drys a majority
of 101., All other precincts in Hepp
ner went dry with the exception of
Gentry, which gave the wets 11 votes
the best of it.

McDuffee, (iilliam. Waters, Wells,
Turner, Chirk ami Currin Are
Successful Candidates.
In the contest for county offices,
the race between Frank Gilliam and
Hanson Hughes for treasurer was the
closes: and finally resulted in Gil
liam's election. Hughes ran well in
Hepp;.er and had a lead of 91 votes
in this city. Gilliam, however, car
ried the majority of the out side pre
cincts sufficiently to overcome his op
ponent's lead and piled up 166 votes
to the good.
George McDuffee, republican nom
inee for sheriff carried every precinct
in the county with the exception of
Lena, which gave Hayes 25 and Mc
Duffee 25.
The contest between Ed. Huston
and J. A. Waters for the clerkship
was close and exciting until North
and South lone were heard from and
from that time on everything was
Waters. Up to this time Dairy pre
cinct is the only vote that is not in,
but it will probably not change the
general result very materially. The
total of votes, without Dairy, which
has a vote of about 200, gives Waters
936 and Huston 553.
Loy Turner received an over
whelming vote for surveyor. He had
both the republican and democratic
endorsement. He received a major
ity of 250 votes in Mt. Vernon pre
cinct alone. His total, without Dairy
is 1205 as to 262 for John Ritchie,
his socialist opponent. Mr. Ritchie
received a very nattering vote in his
home precinct. South lone.
Dr. C. C. Chick, of lone, republi
can candidate for coroner, was elect
ed over his opponent, Dr. A. D. Mc
Murdo, of Heppner.
In the race for county commission
er, Geo. J. Currin, republican, defeat
ed Jeff Jones, democrat.
SCHOOL NOTES.
By Supt. S. E. Notson.
Miss Zena Houser teaches the
school in District No. 14. The en
rollment is eleven. -The building ha
been remodeled so as to admit the
light from the left and rear. An ex
cellent stable has been built for the
horses of those who ride to school.
A new water tank has been purchas
ed, and the pupils have individual
cups. There is a good flag, and it
is properly displayed. The teacher
and pupils are determined to make
the school a standard school if pos
sible, and the people of the district
are co-operating.
In District No. 59, Miss Florence
Pifer is the teacher. The enrollment
is 15. The building has been newly
painted. A patent heating and ven
tilating plant has been purchased
and will be installed soon. A ves
sel of water is kept on the stove to
furnish moisture for the atmosphere
of the room. A spring near the
school has been walled up, and the
water is piped to the school grounds.
There is a good case for the library
books.
Mr. Louise Ritchie teaches the
school in District No. 50. The en
rollment Is 13. The windows are
provided with adjustable canvas
shades. The stove is surrounded by
a jacket. An excellent framed pic
ture of Washington has been placed
on the walls recently. The library
books are kept in a good case. The
school is well equipped with maps
and charts. The flag pole will soon
be put in condition so the flag can
be displayed.
Eleven pupils in District No. 27
are enrolled at present, but several
more will soon enter school. Mr. D.
C. Conner is the teacher. The out
buildings are good and are kept in
good condition. Last year consider
able apparatus was ordered but the
greater part of it was not delivered.
There is a new historical chart and
a globe provided. A new dictionary
was ordered but has not yet been re
ceived. (
The lone school, under the direc
tion of Prof. L. A. Doak and his en
thusiastic assistants, is entering up
on what promises to be a very suc
cessful year. A new labratory has
just been installed, and the high
school pupils are delighted with It.
I noted that each room has a num
ber of excellent framed pictures, on
the walls. Each room is trying to
become a standard school.
In District No. 51, Mrs. Harriet
Stephens is the teacher. The enroll
ment is 24. The interior of the
building has been painted recently,
and an excellent fence has been built
around the grounds. The boys put
up a new flag pole recently, and the
flag was displayed. A vessel of wa
ter is kept on the stove. The boys
constructed a sand-table, but no sand
being available, the table was filled
with saw-dust, which makes an ex
cellent substitute. This school will
soon close for the winter. More than
forty visitors have been noted on the
roll since the middle of June. This
Is the banner record for the county.
