Notes from Spray.
Wrrtten by Garfield Caawford, while on
the way on his outing trip.
To any old, time resident of
Heppner, a 6top in the town of
Spray is apt to befaddle his braiD
for a short time. IE not he will
wonder whether or not he has got
tea oat or Heppner or whether the
town of Heppner Las picked op
and sot down over here on the
John Day river.
It is a splendid tripthrough the
mountains from Hardman to Kah-
ler basin, bat the Lord will please
have mercy on the poor fellow
whose lot it is to travel from Hepp
ner to Hardman and the last eight
miles from Kahler Basin to the
Bleeping little burg of Spray.
SpeakiDg ofj Heppner people
flocking together, one can safely
say they haveflocked to this sec
tion of Wheeler county.
D. A. Herren, the old time bus
ine6S and sheep man of Heppner,
with his family, is located here
and is manager of the Spray Mer
cantile Co. Mr. Herren is doing a
nice business and is without donbt
the business end of Spray.
Billy Potter who stood back of
the counter in Minor & Co's store
for to long, is located above Sprav
on a fine ranch that is producing
more alfalfa hay than he can find
ground to stack it on.
Tracy Wilcox has an enormous
ranch on the 'bottom jnBt across
the river from Spray, and today
between showers, is piling haj
mountain high. Mr. Wilcox ha6
a fine young orchard that in a few
years will be producing mora fruit
than be can cart to market.
H. E. Warren, Heppner'e. pion
eer druggist, is running cattle and
owns a splendid ranch, and then
there is Clarence Bisbee, who
clerked for Gilliam & Bisbee, and
Harry Myer?, who at one time ran
the Palace hotel, are here and look
prosperous.
The fall crop is good but the
farmers say the spring grain is
badly damaged. Theetock are in
good condition and groes beef is
now being gathered.
Some of the frnit was killed by
the late frosts, but not to any
great extent.
What this section needs is trans
portation facilities and when that
is overcome, this section of Ore
gon will be on the map in big black
letters,

FRIGHTFUL
ACCIDENT
HORSE FALLS ON RAY
FAIRCHILD.
Now in a Critical Condi
tion at Heppner
Sanitarium.
Ray Fairchild, the well known
stock buyer, met with a frightful
accident early last Tuesday morn
ing. The accident occurred out at H.
W. Fell's place. Mr. Fhirchild in
company with Atdy Morgan got
up Taes:Ta7 morning at 3 o'clock
and thking their saddle horses
went out to round up some cattle.
In at empting to head an un
ruly cow, Mr. Fairchild's horse
fell, the saddle turning at the same
time. Mr. Fairchild struck on his
face. All of the Boft tissue of his
nose and the lower part f his
face was torn off, and left hanging.
The bones of his nose were badly
fractured.
He was carried to Mr. Fell's
residence in an unconscious con
dition.
The hour was too early to get
Heppner by telephone and Young
Morgan came in on horseback for
assistance. Dr. Kistner imme
diately went out to cire for the in
jured man. H9 was brought in by
Mr. Fell and is now in a critical
condition at the Heppner Sani
tatiam. Mr. Fairchild had just com-
pleted arrangements to take a big
shipment of beef cattle to Fair
banks, Alaska.
A Pleasant Day.
A number of Heppner people
spent Friday last at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Crocket Kiik on
Rhea creek. Leaving Heppner at
7:30 in the morning, the party was
in high spirits and every minute
of tne 10 mile drive was enjoyed
by all.
The recent rains had laid the
duet and cooled the atmosphere,
it was an ideal day. By means .of
certain wireless methods, the com
iDg of the party was announced
some time before the arrival, so
when they reached their destina
tion they were met at the gate by
Mr. and Mrs. Kirk who welcomed
them with that hospitality which j
put everyone at ease at once. The
Kirk borne with its shade trees
and wide veranda, is one of the
nicest places on Rhea creek and
is certainly a fine place to pass the
da', especially when you add a
genial host and hostess who spared
nothing in their endeavor to make
their guests comfortable.
At noon a mo?t excellent dinner
was served. In the afternoon
Mrs. Jeff Jones and daughter Iuez
came down from their home and
ice creftm and cake was served, lu
the evening after partaking of a
hearty supper picnic style, the
party drove home in the cool of
the evening. The following com
posed the party:

Winnard, Mra. Hig;:, Mrs. Kenton.

Sherman fonntv Will pavi5n'n February, March and April for
Expense.
Sherman coun'y, Oregon, where fo;
two seasons, Charles M. Hatfield of
California, has been coaxing rain from
the clouds, is to levy a tax against the
p operty owners next year to pay Mr.
Hatfield a rfgular salary for his services
several months during the spring of
each vear.
Mr. Hatfield was in Portland accom
panied by his brothe Paul A. Hatfield,
his assistant, says the Portland Journal.
The two ars on their way to southern
California where they wi 1 again put in
to action the chemical process which
has woiked so successfully.
This has been Mr. Hitfield'g second!
spring in Sherman county. Last year a
bumper wheat crop is excellent.

calls for his presence in Suermin conn -
ty to bring about the best results pos -
ible in the rain coaxing business. Do, -
ing the time that he was at work the
rainfall has bt-en 05 per cent more than
tbe natural normal average in Sherman
county during the other years before
the Hatfield process was started.
Little is known of the remarkable
but succesfcful experiments the Cali
fornian has been carrying on in East
ern Oregon. His fame has been spread
broadcast and l.e is always receiving
requests and letters asking for more de
tails about his secret and the price that
he charges for inducing rain from the
clouds to fall where it is most desired.
Heretofore the farmers of Sherman
countv, that is a certain percentage of
them, have raid Mr. Hatfield his sal
ary out of their own pocke s. Here
after, however, the county officials will
pay him, securing the money bv adding
a small amount to the tax lists of all
tbe county property.
"I do not claim to be able to make
rain," Mr. Hatfield said, "my object Do
ing to attract rain from moisture laden
clouds that otherwise would pass over
the locality in which 1 am situated. I
first thought of the ide when a by in
the arid parts of southern California
when cloud after cloud day after day j
passed oyer us without ever shedding a
drop of water although we needed it
badly.
"The system consists of chem'cal
combinations. Nature furnishes ground
and man fertilizes it to get an increased
production. Similarly nature furnishes
moisture bearing clouds and in the
same manner assistance is necessary to
bring about a greater precipitation,
"My scheme is a natural one I have
simply worked it out cn the same
principle as is followed by nature in lo -
calities where there is always plenty ot
rain. 1 give to the atmosphere my
