Pays $20,000 For Swaggart-Mills Place The "White House
Dairy" Ranch Sold by Knappsnberg to Johnsons.
The deal was completed yesterday
whereby W. A. WilcoX, well known
local farmer, and son-in-law of Geo.
Currin, becomes the new owner of the
ranch at the Junction of Rhea Creek
and Willow Creek, two miles east of
lone. This ranch contains some 280
acres of which most'is bottom land, the
balance being used lor grazing pur
poses. The consideration was $20,
000, the deal including a small amount
of stock and implements. It is said
by many that this is the richest soil
in Morrow County. The wa'cr? or" Rhea
Creek have washed sediment for cen
turies upon the flat through which
flows the waters of Willow Creek and
the soil at this point Is deep. Alfalfa
is the principal crop and the former
owners, Geo. Swaggart and Jack
Mills, found that the hay could be
made to realize for '.hem between $12
and $15 per ton Tien fed to stock.
These gentlemen have made good on
this ranch and no doubt Mr. Wilcox
will do likewise.
Mr. Swaggart informs The Herald
that his reasons for disposing of his
interests in the ranch were, that he
desire to retire from active life and
take things easy for a time. They
anticipate moving to Pendleton, where
Mr. Swaggart has other interests. Mr.
Wilcox and family have the best wish
es of their many Heppner friends for
success in their new home.

IOXE, Oct. 19 A real estate deal
of some consequence was completed
here Saturday when Mr. and Mrs. A.
E. Johnson became possessors of the
"White House Dairy" ranch located
one mile west of lone on Willow Creek.
This is one of the very best ranches
on the creek and has extensive im
provements. Mr. Johnson and family
will move to this place from their
present location although they will
still look after the Ambler place
where they have been living. We wish
Mr. Johnson success in his new ven
ture. Mr. Calkins has purchased the
dairy cows from Mr. Knappcnberg
and will continue to supply the city of
lone with milk and cream. Mr. Knap
penherg, who sold the ranch to Mr.
Johnson, still retains his other exten
sive holdings. .

Mot row County is the best place I
have ever struck." Therefore, in
niililing their new house, only tin

'or the future, were the bywords. The
