SOON TO BE NO IRE
1 RKIGATION CONGRESS
PHYSICIANS IX CHARGE SAY NOT
SELF SUPPORTING
Snstitution to ( lose As Soon As Pres
ent Cafes Can Be
Discharged
Heppner is soon to be without a
hospital as will all of Morrow county
according to a statement given to the
Herald Monday evening by Drs. A. D.
McMurdo and C. C. Chick who for
several years have been in charge of
the institution at least so these gen
tlemen aver to the extent of making
good the deficit between receipts and
expenditures as such have frequently
'.ppeared. The institution will be
t "losed as soon after January as pres
, 'it cases can be discharged.
' i It is not exactly a sinecure to run a
hospital and guaranatee the payment,
of its bills according to Di g. McMurdo
and Chick. The present building,
they say, is unsuitable for hospital
purposes being old and without mod
ern improvements and conveniences.
Good nurses are hard to secure and
rtill harder to keep and contrary to
popular belief the doctors, instead
of making a lot of money for them
ttelves out of the preposition, are com
pelled to dig up considerable amounts
from their own funds to help pay
expenses.
They both regret the conditions that
nvn in rlenvtve the COIintv of flnV kind
of hospital service, but they feel that
they have carried the burden as long
as they can afford to.
It is not a cheerful prospect for the
people of the county who may in the
future need hospital service quickly
and under proper sanitary conditions
to have to be Jolted off to Portland
or Pendleton or Condon or The Dalles
where hospital ocnvenlences are
(Continued on rage Eight)

"DRUGLESS MEDIGir. 10 "BL000LESS SURGERY"
We hop'.; we are not narrow, for the drugless physician must lie
a real doctor in every sense of the term. His scientific education
must be as broad aw that of the "regular" medical school and in im
portant respects must be much more practical and better than nny
othei school's, therefore, we refuse to tie our wagon to the tail of
anj man's kite whether he be Electric, Chiropractor. Osteopath, Al
lopath, Homopath, or any other path. We do not try to explain ail
diseases by just one theory. We know that diseases me produced by
various and widely ilift'e.rent cau .es. "The intelligence of the treat
ment of any diseased condition varies directly with the clearness
and trut'ii of the practitioner's mental picture of the pathology of
the condition. In the discussion of drugless medicine and bloodless
surgery we must concern ourselves with the Intelligent f fifiem y nf
the individual to deal with conditions; to care for hit "kinds- of in

in short, exercise all functions of the broadly educatui. sate md fane
doctor whose art of healing both prevents disease and helps to ruie
it. The drugles physician must possess h science i f gi neral the
rapy, applicable to the treatment f all dlsvases, urt! his therapy

Morrow county roads have been in
pretty bad condition since the thaw
and in some cases considerable dam
age was done. The road in Cason
canyon was damaged to a considera
ble extent and near the lower end of
Clark's canyon the road was pretty
well wiped out. County Judge Camp-
bell and Roadmaster McCaleb went
down to view the damage Saturday
and found that considerable new
work will be required to save the road
from being completely destroyed by
the next high water. While in the
neighborhood the officials held (
conference with a number of resi
dents of that neighborhood as to the
best method of repairing the damage
It is apparent, Judge Campbell says
that sooner of later a bridge will
have to be built across the canyon and
after hearing suggestions from prop
erty owners as to the best location
for such a structure it was pointed
out by Judge Campbell that that par
ticular road will doubtless be desig
nated at no distant time as a market
road in which case the bridge mils
be so located as to permit climbing
the hill on a five per cent grade. Mr.
McCaleb made a preliminary survey
from a point selected for the bridge
and it was found that the hill could
be negotiated on the required grade
Alter a thorough canvass of
matter the property owners- proposed
that they would biuld the grade il
the county would put in a permanent
bridge and it is probable the matter
will be considered by the county court
at the January meeting. It is esti
mated the bridge will cost some $3,
OflO and the grade about $2,000.
The new grades built on upper
Willow creel; last summer were not
damaged in the least by the high
water which Is a matter of consider
able satisfaction to the county offi
cials and the road master.

That the Morrow county Farm Bu
reau is about the livest organization
of its kind in the county is shown
by the ever increasing attendance
and interest at the regular nionthlv
meetings. The largest number yet
present met in the countv agent's
rooms Saturday afternoon and put
in every moment of the session in
profitable discussion of live questions
and speedy and definite action on
matters of moment.
Matt Hughes, chairman of the irri
gation committee reported on the
Willow creek project and it was de
cided IQ make immediate investiga
tion and preliminary surveys of pos
sible storage sites on upper Willow
and Rhea creeks.
The Bureau will seek to co-operate
with the city in the storage of water
on Willow creek thus assisting the
city I nreturning to the creek the
amount of water taken out for muni
cipal purposes while the city will be
assisting the farmers in storing the
maximum of flood water for use on
the soil. ,
John'Wightman, chairman of the
orchard committee was instructed to
secure t'ne services 0f aD expert prun
er and sprayer to direct the work of
cleaning up the orchards of the coun
ty.
It was decided to adopt the neigh
borhood road foreman plan under
which each local committee of the bu
reau will recomment a man to look
after emergency road work in each
neighborhood.
A committee composed of A. K
Knoblnckv L. A. Hunt, W. L. Mc-
Calsb. vj O. Minor win appointed to
co-operate with committees from
Iioardman and Inigon in locating
road between Heppner mid the north
end of the county.
Farmers who are lint in districts
where rabbit poisoning campaigns are
under way can m-cuie poison from
the county agent nt cost for use on
their own land.
Editor Heppner Herald,
Heppner, Oregon.
In a recent issue of your paper I
note where the north end of the
county had been afflicted with a se
vere frost. There is no possibility of
denying your statement. In fact the
severity of the freeze has proven a
calamity to our district. Our banana
output is threatened with extinction.
There is only one hope for its sur
vival. A warmer overcoat for its
covering. A committee has been ap
pointed to work with the county
agent in an attempt to cross the co
coanut with the banana. It is thougTit
with a cocoanut coat covering the
meat of the banana a food product
may be saved to the county. Oui
committee is in correspondence with
the commercial clubs of Tahati, Sa-
hampa, Bahnva and Java as to meth
ods used for protection of plant when
tnemometer is 34 below. Their ex
perience should be of value to us. Any
light you may be able to throw on ttm
subject will be appreciated.
Yours truly,
S. H. BOARDMAN.
P. S. There are "So. Enders" who
have persistently termed the "No.
End" the Banana Belt. To them I
would convey that for two nights it
was 34 below zero, and some say,
tiien some. After this may they al
ways hold their peace.

The program rendered by the Fed
erated Sunday school. Christmas
evening consisted of songs-, recitations
and tableaux. The several numbers
were well rendered, reflecting credit
upon the peiTotmers and those who
arranged the program. Instead ol
the iimiuI treat, the school had voted
to observe a "White Christmas",
making it an occasion of giving In
stead of receiving. The primary de
partment made their donation which
amounted to $15.27, lo the milk fund
for babies of the Albertlna Ken
nniseiy of Portland. One class of
girls gave $10 to the prisoners 'aid
lund. The adult bible class, a cliis.

uted $T7.so to the Armenian Relief
Kind. One class expended $20 In ex
tending rhilslmas cheer locally.

As u result of the chinook that hit
the foothills the last of the week and
took of all the snow In that neighbor
hood, Butter Creek and the Umatilla
river were extremely high for several
days. The water was all over the
Butter creek valley, especially In the
upper portion of the creek bottom.
Some of the hay HtHckg were wet,
which may cause the loss of a little
hay, but otherwise the damage wai
light. Echo did not get the full force of
the chinook, and the snow lias been

The past year has been a pretty
goon one for Heppner and Morrow
county.
While the "high cost of building ma
terial, labor and all other elements
entering into construction work has.
to some extent, acted as a brake on
eeonstruction the material advance
ment of the town has fallen but little
if any short of the quarter million
