Will Again Reside in Heppner
Mr. and Mrs. E- M. Shutt were
in the city Tuesday from their
summer camp at Parkers Mill,
on business connected with the
sale of their fine alfalfa ranch
near lone to Ellis R. Minor.
Mr. Shutt is a well known citi
zen of this county' having been
for several years engaged in the
newspaper business in Heppner
and later having held the office
of sheriff of Morrow county for
a couple of terms. After leaving
the sheriff's office Mr. Shutt en
gaged in farming for several
years with good success but now,
having disposed of his ranch he
will probably locate in Heppner
and engage in some line of busi
ness. Mr. and Mrs. Minor, have
moved from their Cecil ranch to
the Shutt place which they will
make their permanent home. It
is said to be one of the finest
alfalfa ranches on Willow creek.

H. V. Gates, who is having the
old Heppner coal mine investi
gated with the idea of opening
the property and placing it on a
producing basis, reports that the
work done recently is highly sat
isfactory and has proven the fact
that coal is there in abundauce
aDd can be produced in quantity
if the question of transportation
can bo solved.
Mr. (Jates has had access to
the reports of several coal ex
perts who examined the proper
ty years ago and his investiga
tions have proven the accuracy
of these reports.
ID CONTROL PLAN
GIVEN TO PUBLIC
The food control administra
tion has announced its plan for
controlling the price of wheat,
Hour and bread, revealing the
fact that the government is pie
pared to lake over the entire
wheat crop of HUT if necessary
to conserve the supply and as
sure just prices for America's
lighting forces and their allies
and lo reduce present costs to
the general public of the United
States.
The plan provides for estab-
llishing buying agencies at all the
piiricipal wheat terminals, licens
ing of elevators and mills, fixing
T
In one tunnel recently cleared 1 of fail price;
out and examined is 72 inches of
coal matter, a portion of it, how
ever, being mixed with bone.
Some 38 inches of the vein is
pure coal the remainder being
regulation of
middlemen and the total elimina
tion of ' trading in futures, ' or
gambling in wheat.
The minimum price of 2 per
bushel for wheat does not go
mixed with "bone." Mr. Gates into effect uuttl next year but
is confident, however, that at j the government, proposes to
least "5 per cent of the entire exercise thorough cont rol over
72 inches is good coal.
OFFERS PLANT TO U. S,
Henry W. Collius, prominent
wheat buyer of Pendleton, has
otiered the use of his entire
grain plant to the government
free of all charges except run
uing expenses. Mr. Collins'
plant is one of the most complete
in the Inland Empire and the
Pendleton office rooms have re
cently been remodeled and mod
ernized.
Mr. Collins is in full sympathy
with the spirit of the food con
trol law, and his oiler is made
entirely from patriotic motives.
The reason that. Pendleton is
the biggest town of its size in
the world is that its citizenry is
made up of big calibre men such
as this action indicates Mr. Col
lins to be.
Heppner had a tire alaim last
Friday afternoon when sparks
from a pile of burning trash
back of the court house carried
to a chicken coop back of Wm
Ayers residence and started a
livly blaze. The coop was en
tirely destroyed by the time the
hose cart arrived aud the tire
w hich spread to the dry grass
on the hillside was whipped out
with wet sacks. The loss was
negligible und .Mr. Ayers figured
that he was winner iu haviug the
mites destroyed so cheaply and
effectively.
Held to Grand Jury
Frank Elliott, a rancher of the
Butler creek sectioc, was bro't
before Prosecuting attorney S.
E. Notsou Tuesday charged with
assault and battery, the object
of his attack being his wife.
The conipla;n't was sworn to by
a neighbor, Mrs. Elliott not ap.
pearing in the matter. --Mrs,
Elliot is au iu valid having suBer-
ed, it is said for over a year
with tuberculosis. She spent
last wiuter in Arizoua for her
health and it is only recently
that fahe has regained sufficient
strength to be able to take short
walks aud horseback ridps. The
trouble, it is said, aioseover her
having rode a hoiso to oue of
tho neighbors after her husband
had forbidden her to take the
horse away from the farm. Ell
iott was bound over iu the. sum
of -l;iOti to appear before the
fraud jury at its next regular
s-e&sion.
The second grade can be used
for steam purposes and will be
used in the Heppner L. & W.
Co. plant, and the first grade is
said to be first class coal for
all purposes.
The only real problem connect
ed with mining and marketing
this coal in a commercial way
this fall, Mr. Gates says, thereby
relieving the threatened fuel
famine in Heppner, is the ques
Hon of transportation. Consider
able road work will be necessary
to make it possible to truck
coal from the mine at a cost
that would not be prohibitive
Mr. Gates has taken the road
question up with the county au
thorities and some solution may
be worked out iu a few days
the present- crop as above indi
cated. The government is determin
ed to stop speculation in food
stuffs and to cany out this plan
has decided to take the following
course:
