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

Don't forget that the soldier

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.

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:

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.
