A Brat elass newspaper entered at the poatoffic at Heppner. Oregon aa eecond-clasa matter VOLUME 5. HEPPNER, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 24. 1918. NUMBER 3 SHEEP SHEARING IS The Independent shearing plant, which is owned by a num ber of prominent sheepmen of the Hinton creek and .Sand hol low country, and of which Pat Pearson is the efficient manager, is now operating at the Guy Boy- er ranch, six miles above Hepp ner, peeling the winter overcoats off the woolies at a most remark able rate. Twelve machines are in operation and the daily output is about 1800 head, or 150 sheep to the machine. . Through the courtesy of John McEntire the Herald man enjoy ed a visit to the plant last Mon day morning and watched the first step in the process of pro viding good, warm uniforms and overcoats for the American army which is just now beginning to gee ready to get a strangle hold on Kaiser Bill and a million or so of his henchmen "over there." Sheep shearing by gasoline power i9 somewhat different from the old hand method when the average shearer used to put in most of his time whetting his shears, chewing tobacco and tell ing funny stories, and when night come thought he was a wonder if he had turned out 25 head. These modern fellows grab a sheep in one hand. thepower-driven shears with the other, give a fow pokes around and into the shep's ara tomy with the safety.razor shears, kick the fleece but of the way and grab another sheep without saying a word or batting an eye. Shearers are not long on talk while at work, but the few thousand sheep and lambs around the shearing plant put up enough conversation to keep any one from getting lonesome, and it's this writer's opinion that if there Is an overworked word the English languags this Urn of year it's that little word "Baa, Shearers at the Independen plant are Pearson, manager; Dun can, Frazier, Wilcox, Conser, De tr, Van Sickle, Hirvey, McMul lea, Johnson and McFerren, and Johnny McEntire says they are the best bunch of shearers on earth, Yardley ties the fleecei and Jimmy Kenny tramps the Backs. The wranglers those who bring the sheep in, take them out and listen to the baa. hia conversation ill day were flying around to fast they could neither be counted nor named. While all this is going on the sheep owners like Kilkenny, Mike Kenny, Johnny Mac and others stand around and .smoke good cigars, wear leather putties and subscribe to the Hed Cross collectors having picked up 1300 at the plant from shearers, owners, etc., Monday moroing. The shearers get 15 cents a beud for shearing, which means around -2 50 a day per man. They also get their board and that s something not to be sneezed at when you eat at the Doyer ranch, fr there is where they put food on the table In quantity and every tuoriel intenaea 10 p i...l to a hungry man. t'vun ttith wool at 50 or M rpiitia pound it must bo adroit t.d that when a fchnt-piuao sells hi wool the receipt are not all ...U-..I i.ut. iust the iaoi. the Herald man In pnough of a gain t,lr that he would be milling to trade ttil giaat ftnily nevrpt tier for a ito'ii iIimp rauuii nd Land or tvto of sheep Anybody psme to trad?

R., Sons of Veterans, Spanish War Veterans, or any old soldier or sailor who has served in the army or navy three months or longer, whether a member of above or ganizations or not, are asked to meet in front of Odd Fellows building Sunday morning, May 26. 1918. at 10:30 sharp, from whence they will march to the Christian church, where Rev.

H'lAHY If! IS QUICKLY Many Thanks I want to sincerely thank the Republican party o f Morrow county for selecting me as its nominee for Sheriff, and also to thank those Democrats who wrote my name on their ballots feel highly honored and deeply grateful to my friends through out the county by this renewed expression of confidence and faith in me and the principlos for which I stand. It shall be my constant aim to have my private and public life prove worthy of this splendid tribute. E. M. Shutt Don't forget that the soldier boys at American Lake need dish towels and gun rags very badly Every woman in Morro.w county is urged to gather up every scrap of rag she can spare, wash and bring or send it to Red Cross beadauarters at once. Another shipment will be made soon. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Jenks, of Monument, are here visiting her daughter. Mrs. Dell Ward, of Blackhorse, and Mrs. J. T. Knappenberg, of this city. They will also visit Mrs. Carl Farns worth, of Cecil, another daugh ter, before returning to their home. Jimmy McNamee, former well known Heppner boy and clerk in the Palace Hotel, writes J. L. Wilkius an interestinK letter from "somewhere in France" in which he sends ereetings to all old Heppner and Morrow county friends. Marcus Aurelius Right! By MOSS.

The primary election held in Oregon last Friday was, as is usually the case, a matter of con siderable surprise to many of the candidates and their friends. In the contest for U. S. Sena tor, McNary, present incumbent, was an easy winner, although his opponent, Robert N. Stanfield, received a satisfactory vote in his own section ofj the state However, it seemed to be the de finite policy of the voters to avoid any swapping of horses in mid stream during war time, so the ins are still in and the outs are still out. Present Governor Withycombe was also renominated by a heavy vote; that cast for his opponents was scattering and controlled generally by local conditions. The vote in this county follows: REPUBLICAN. Nat. Com. Dennis, 279; Will iams, 207. U. S. Senator, short term- Burton. 236; Mulkey, 184. Long term McNary, 231; btanheld, 379. Congress Sinnott, 440.

Morrow county people are get ting so accustomed to digging up money for war purposes that they make a small job out of the matter of raising $10,000 for the Red Cross. That was the amount asked for in the present drive and eight days were allowed in which to raise the amount, but so much time was not needed here. By Monday evening the amount was well over the fence and at the present writing (Thurs day morning) the county has subscribed $11.95710 Heppner's share of the quota was 5000, or just one-half of the county allotment, and the amount was raised by noon. Lexington, our next neighbor down the road, went away over her quota, hav ing at last accounts subscribed $2095 25 and still digging. The committee tried to call the game off Wednesday but W. O. Hill and Charlie Pointer, in charge at Lexington, report that you could not stop Lexington people from subscribing to the Red Cross with two clubs and a shotgun lone, true to her reputation as a live wire town, came through with 11233, away over her quota, and Morgan and Cecil were in the same class. In fact, little Cecil topped the top-notchers by going 207 per cent strong- Asked for 1100 she put up $207 and then quit under protest. Eightmileand Liberty section was given an allotment of $1000, with a certain denned district in which to raise the amount. Fail ing to put out an armed guard to protect their territory, however, poachers from lone, Heppner and Hardman cut in on their terri tory until all that was left the Eightmilers and Libertyites was a strip of country 7 miles long by 5 miles wide, but out of this small patch of ground the en thusiastic workers dug up a total of $1018. Theodore Anderson, I Frank Anderson, Mrs. Walter Beckett, Mrs. Clyde Huston and Miss Minnie Turner were the ef ficient solicitors, and Miss Turner made a special record by going over a strip of country that had been canvassed by outside poach ers two or three times and secur ing $00 in cold cash Hardman had a big and badly scattered territory, and it takes nerve and lots of hard traveling to cover it. Nail -This Lie S. E. Notson, chairman of the food conservation committee in forms the Herald that a report, which has the ear-marks of Ger man propoganda, is being circu lated to the effect that people en gaged in war work in this coun ty are being paid for their work. The fact is that, aside from a lit tle clerical work, all this class of work is being done in this county absolutely without cost to the government. It is understood that even those who have been paid a small .amount for clerical work have donated their pay to lhe Red Cross. Lies of this ma licious character should be run down and nailed every time they are repeated and the Herald is glad to assist in giving the facts publicity. ID Attend Portland War Conference Mrs. Lena Snell Shurte, Sam E. VanVactor, W. W. Smead, Pat Crowe, C L. Sweek and Loy Turner went to Portland Tuesday to attend the war conference in session this week.
