Marched With Sherman.
Andrew Rood, Civil war veteran and
long a resident of this county, , suc
cumbed to an attack of flu-pneumonia
at his home in this city early Satur
day morning. Though past 3 years
of age, Mr. Rood's rugged constitu
tion held up bravely under the rav
ages of the attack, and apparently he
had succeeded In throwing off the
malady. So much of his vitality had
been used up in fighting the disease,
however, that he was unable to re
cuperate, and the end followed, after
bitter struggle.
Funeral services were held Monday

Church of Christ, Milton W. Bower,

lowed in the family plot in Masonic

in this county, and the casket was
surrounded by a great floral tribute.
The remains were reverently placed
beside the grave of his twin brother,
E. D. Rood, who died in 1918, and oth
er members of his family preceding
him who are buried here.
Andrew Rood, the last member of
his family to remain on this earth,

ing a success of his calling. He re
tired from the farm in 1913, and has
since resided in Heppner.
In 1879 he was united in marriage
to Millie Tcrressa Stewart at Hills
boro, Oregon-on October 2. To this
union five children were born: Frank,

Heppner Streets Get -Gratis
Improvement
An interested group of spectators
was attracted to Willow street shortly
before noon yesterday by an unusual
sight on the streets of Heppner. A
long, narrow, bony, iron monster,
humped much like a dromedary, and
with teeth dragging out of its very
middle, was growling, grating and
groaning over the higbway between
Main and Gale streets, tearing up the
earth like an angry hyena.
On investigation the phenomena was
was found to be a Wehr grader and
scarifier connected up with a Fordson
tractor. The machine was brought to
Heppner for the purpose of demon
stration before the city fathers and
county court. F. A. Perkins, repre
sentative of Mitchell, Lorn & Staver
Co., of Portland, had charge of the
demonstration, in conjunction with
Latourell Auto Co. of this city.
Considerable discussion was had as
to the weight of the rig, guesses go
ng all the way from two to eight tons,
and to clear up all argument, Mr. Per
kins has given out the exact weight,
9460 pounds. With power enough to
tear up waterbound macadam, it is
claimed this unit, operated solely by
one-man, will do 25 miles of highway
maintenance to 5 miles with tho old
horse-drawn grader. Average cost of
operation is said to be $8.60 per day.
Its representatives claim that more
of these machines are in use in this
territory than any other tractor-
drawn grader, more than 100 now be
ing used in Oregon and Washington.
The block on which the demonstra
tion was made yesterday was scarified
and graded up in just an hour, and
many favorable comments on the work
were overheard.
Traffic Violators Picked
Up on Streets Sunday
Marshal Devin made a cleaning of
traffic violators on the streets of
Heppner last Sunday. By standing
on the street corners and checking the
cars, some half dozen violations were
noted. Drivers were stopped and pre
sented a slip, which m the office of
City Recorder Gordon called for a
fine of 50 cents.
The majority of violations wore
cutting the corners on intersections,
and though this is deemed a minor
offense the marshal believed motorists
should be made aware of the fact that
it is a violation of a city ordinance
none tho less, and took this means of
reminding them of it.
IONE STARTS BALL CLUB.

The Grand Canyon.
Gas Bombs at Home.
3000 Bullseyes.
Mushing for Gold.
This is written with scenery. On
the left the sun is sinking, an Arizona
sunset. Come out here, if you want
to know how it looks. On the left tha
moon is up, gaining color, as the sun
goes down. And from this spot you
could walk a few feet, then jump down
one mile. This is the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado, with its thousands of
towers, mountains, forts, peaks of
every shape and color, rising up from
the canyon's floor one mile down.
The western horizon is a rim of
gold, the farewell effort and defiance
of the sun, rolling down to China.
And the canyon below is changing its
colors and shadows, obedient to fad
ing sunlight and growing moonlight.
It would be worth your while to see
that. Shadows and bands of color a
mile high, exposed layers of old earth
that took millions of centuries to
build laid bare by the rushing waters
each with its own color and character,
each an open book to the geologist,
showing exact age as plainly as you
read it in a painted face.
A genuine artist, with soul, temper-
ment and similar things, would be sick
and probably faint if he could look up
from these typewriter letters, care
fully padded with rubber, toward the
east and west. Below the pale moon,
almost full, the sky is dark rose pur
ple. Below the purple there is a dark
broad band of heavy blue. The moon,
queen of heavens, rides in triumph on
a colored throne as wide as the sky.
Somebody should warn owners of
mills in Passaic that they are running
risks. This nation was interested
when gas bombs first appeared in the
big war. It will not be pleased to hear
of employers fighting a strike, legal
in character, using gas bombs against
their workers, and turning heavy
st 'earns of cold water on women and
children, when tear gas failed to do
the work.
Now the workers have bought two
thousand gas masks to be ready for
the next attack, which is not pleasant
reading in this prosperous republic.
We are doing pretty well here; in
dustrialists are not exactly starving
to death. They should warn those
Passaic idiots against upsetting tha
apple cart. Employers have consid
erably more to lose than employees in
the game of violence. .
A solemn Washington dispatch says .
the President and Cabinet discussed
the Wall Street scare, and "President
Coolidge let it be known that he felt
there was nothing taking place in the'
business world symptomatic of a let
up in the present prosperity."
The trouble, just "nervous prosper
ity" among those of the gamblers,
afraid of their own pfofits.
The revised income tax rata will
bring hundreds of millions out of the
income tax proof non-taxable secur
ities, and business will boom more
than ever.
You read of young Americans go
ing to the dogs via the Charleston,
jazz and bootleg whiskey. Then Sam
uel Moore, seventeen-year-old captain
of the high school rifle team at New
ton, Mass., reassures you with his new
world's record.
That young gentleman, it sounds
unbelievable, made three thousand
consecutive bullseyes between eight
o'clock in the morning and five in the
evening. Neither Charleston nor pre
mature hootch has ruined that young
man's nerves.
The world has been much explored
since and before the days of Marco
Polo, and the exploring goes on. Ten
expeditions are abcut to start for the
polar regions, some 'o find the Pole
again, others to seek new lands, and,
perhaps, oil, gold. etc. Others go in
the interest of science.
In Canada frozsn roads are packed
with gold seekers, defying the tem
perature fifty degrees below zero, in
a new gold rush; gold seekers, mush
ing in dog sleds, racing to the new
strike where "gold is showing over a
stretch of country five miles in length.
with good ground still unstaked." It
won't remain unstaked long. Say
"gold" and people move as when you
cry "fire."
To Whom it May Concern:
I purchased from tho Peoples Hard
ware Company last year, a Case 14-ft.
Combined Harvester. I am very well
pleased with this machine and can
say that it did the best job of thresh
ing of any harvester that have ever
seen. It is a saver of grain and money
to the user and is a cheap moans of
harvesting. Our expenses for tho sea
son's run, outside of gas and oil,
were only $2.25 for the machine and
the cost per aero of harvesting was
less than a dollar.
I recommend the Case machine and
know that it delivers the goods.
Very truly youis,
CHARLES B. COX.
