A BIT OF HEPPNEtt HISTOKY
Ton Much Water, Needed For Irriga
tion, Goes T"' Waste Say? O'.i!
Resident
"It makes me mad every time I
look at the creek at a time like this,"
said W. O. Minor yesterday morning;
' just to watch so much precious wa
ter going to waste when every drop
of it could, if conserved, be put to
profitable use on the soil."
Mr. Miiijr is strongiy advocating
the const riicUon of reservoirs wher
ever sui'iibla locations can be found
.for the coi.n lvation of flood waLcrs
during th -. . inter season, for use tiie
ullowi:,- sut. iiner in tho irrigation of
crops.
Mr. Minor thinks the proposal
brought forward recently by County
Afiir.it i-iL.nt looking to t.r storage of
flood v iters on the upper branches
of Willow and Rhea creeks is a
sploiH.id idea and. says rae will do
everything in his power to help put
the project across. Mr. Minor oe
lieves it possible to work out a stor
age plan by which all of the flood wa
ters now pouring into the Columbia
river from Willow creek could be di
verted and put to good use where it
would multiply the present produc
tion. "Morrow county people must learn
to save all this water now going to
waste." Mr. Minor concluded, "just
as they do in my sections of Cali
fornia and other arid and semi-arid
regions and they will find it will pay
big returns on the investment."
Many a family Christmas grour
will bless the name of Rhea next
Thursday. They will not know it but
they'll do so just the same. One hun
dred and fifty of the finest turkeys
that have reached the Portland mar
keet were raised by Mrs. E. W. Rhea
of Echo. She and some of her child
Ken are at the Impeiral. Mrs. Rhen
believes in old fashioned families.
She had a boy in the army and hei
baby is just big enough to toddle
around the Imperial lobby.
These youngsters are of honored
pioneer families. Mrs. Rhea's par
ents were early settlers while her
husband, Waldon, is a son of Colum
bus Rhea, early-day banker of Hepp
ner. It was in honor of this pioneei
that Rhea creek was named. He war
a contemporary of two other noted
bankers Henry Heppner, after whom
the city was named, and "Uncle Jack"
Morrow, whose name was attached
to the county. Portland Telegram.

Mr. D. L. Countryman, who recent
ly arrived here from Nebraska, has
been appointed manager of the Turn-a-Lum
Lumber company's yard at
Lexington, vice L. W. Holmes, who
recently resigned. Mr. Countryman
is said to be a thorough lumberman
and he will no doubt give the people
of his section the same high degree
of service for which the Tum-a-Luni
company has long been famous.

"DBUGLESS MEDICINE" UNO "BLOODLESS SURGERY"
PNEVMOXIA STATISTICS LIKEWISE SIGNIFICANT
Statistics for pneumonia are equally assuring for drugless prac
tice and disconcerting for the drugging practises of the "regulars"
In 6,258 recorded cases of epidemic -pneumonia treated by drugless
method;) there were only 625 fatalities, a death rate of 10 per cent.
About fifty of thc-B3 deaths oecuncd. within 24 hours after osteo
paths were called on the case, which means that some of these cases
were beyond help when first seen. The showing would have been
different If only such cases were included as had drugless treatment
from the onset, but wc are doallnc "vf th official statistics, alone,
now so that there can be no guess work.
Official statistics for tho epidemic pneumonia show a death
rate for "regular medicine" of 3 3 per cent. In some localities, as in
New York City, the death rate retched 60 per cent. Out of every
hundred patients sick with pneuir onla, taking the country as a
whole, "regular" doctors lost 33 by drug treatment while osteo
pathic doctors lost only 10 a clcr.r saving by drugless methods of
23 lives in every hundred cases t eated lives that allopathic treat
ment would have sacrificed! These"'figures ure remarkable and of
ficial for both professions; and new that the count of the great epi
demic is In there can be no dodging the responsibility which such i.
needless deafa-rate entails. Twet ty-three human lives lost needless
ly out of every hundred persons iil with influenza literally every
fourth person who had the flu vicariously sacrificed to the errors
of traditional drug practice surely this is a terrible toll for hu
manity to pay!
BE PHEPAKEl) TO FIGHT THE FLU
The Surgeon General of the Public Health Service has Issued
a warning notice In which he says there will probably be a recur
rence of influenza, that the Indications are that It will be milder
than last year, but that every community should prepare. You
should heed every word of this warning and advice of the Surgeon
General of the Public Health, for the safety of one's own life and
that of one's loved ones Is of supieme Interest and Importance to
very one. You have been given just a little look-in on some of the
official statlstlre of this great dirpurlty In results achieved by these
two system of practice and we have been ultra-conservative In tho
M'lertlnti . Take the sections of the country where the records hav.
been most complete as to deaths tr the flu epidemic under drugs, the
city of Huston. 27 per rent, Chicago 14 'j per cent, but we have
taken the lowest estimates from official records fur drug-the-rapy
In ronttast with the adjustlte, stimulative, manipulative, drug-less-thcrapy.
Take your choice tf methods If It should mine your
turn to doctor coughs, colds, sore throats, Iocs of voire, catarrh, In
fluenza, bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy, ricutalgia. neuritis',
rheumatism or any other of winter's disease, where it be tritlal or
counted dangerous.
The practice of drugless medicine Is original and distinctive
from drug medicine In that Its chief riiciap.utle efrects are sr-cuied
by mechanical Instead of drug airencles. The drugless physician
relieves pain, restores normal functions, stimulates glandular action
promotes normal digestion, absoiptlon. assimilation and eictetlon
by a manipulative technique originated and exclusively used by his
system of practice. The fundamental principle of this unique
science and art of manual therapy Is adjustment of tiswues, the re
storation f normal mechanics to the body, the fiee unimpeded cir
culation of blood and ltnph, the unnbstiucted action of Hi" twin
neivmis sstem, and the tesulr n! surli treatment Is tlmt stimula

It gives the Herald pleasure to
commend the enterprise shown by its
contemporary, the Gasette-Times,
evidenced in its splendid 28-page
Christmas edition which appeared
last Friday. Such an edition is a
credit not ( nly to the publishers, but
to the town and community as well,
whose business men so liberally pat
ronize its advertising colunu s. Every
evidence of enterprise and piogie'M
such as this on the part of the news
papers of a community, no matter
who is the publish! r, is a benefit to
every Interest of that community and
the Herald would be petty, Indeed,
if it f illed to 4ivo credit for meritor
ious work of a contemporary because
a contemporary Is, perforce, a cmn
iii'litor. We cor.Tratu'at" om- neigli
nor nad whih liln toe decree of pros
perity such enterprise merits.
While most people had had enough
which is plenty, of the cold weather
and deep snow most Heppnerites
would have gladly given old Chief
Chinoo'k a little more time for his
work of removing the snow blanket
and making the world sale for a con
tinued coal famine. The old chief
fought with the north wind for a cou
ple of days before he got things com
ing his way and then, Friday evening
he tu rued loose and tried to melt all
the snow in sight in a minute which
made some little slush and si eh
around Heppner. Soon after dark the
creeks began to come up and by 10
o'clock Power House canyon was
some considerable torrent. Willow
creek also carried plenty of water but
stayed within its hanks all right but
little Hinton creek kicked up quite a
fuss in the lower part of town, in the
warehouse district where several
imilies acted on the assumption that
the "better part of valor is discre
tion" by leaving their homes and go
ing to some neighbor's on higher
ground.
