$tf RITTER CELEBRATION
ELEVEN CARS ALREADY LISTED
FOR TRIP.
Road Will be Open on Sunday, But
Is Not Expected in a First Class
Condition.
PIOXEEIt CITIZEN PASSES
Arrangements are going forward
for the trip to Ritter, July 4 th, and
at noon today S. E. Notson, chair
man of he committee on arrange
ments, reported that eleven, cars had
registered for the trip, with pro
spects of several others deciding to
go.
The committee, however, is not dis
guising the fact that the trip will not
f.e exactly a flowery bed of ease pro
jr .Action and are not advising inva
v . id',s, old people or young children to
undertake the trip at this time. While
the county officials are confident that
the road will be open by Sunday It
is not to be expected that a new
mountain road as yet not fully com
pleted, will be exactly a boulevard.
Enough Heppner people have expres
sed their intention of going, however,
to let the people of northern Grant
county know that Heppner is on the
map, that the road to Ritter is open
and that we are anxious to establish
closer relations with that section of
counry.
It is understood that Dr. J. P. Con
der, of this city, has been invited by
the people of Ritter to make the ad
dress at the celebration there Mon
day but as yet the program commit
tee at this end of the line has not
announced its program.
Arrangements are being made to
have a supply of gasoline taken to
some point on the new road so that
cars can replenish their supply on
the return trip if necessary.
Joseph Conner, an old and respect
ed citizen of Morrow county passed
away at the Moore hospital at an
early hour Monday morning, aged
about 76 years.
Deceased was a member of the
Grand Army of the Republic having
been a member of the old 1st Ore
gon in civil war days, when that re
giment was kept busy watching and
fighting hostile Indians thruout Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho. He
was ot genial disposition ana had a
host of friends who will sincerely
mourn his death. He was never mar
ried and is survived by a half brother

EVERYTHING LOVELY IN THE
ROCK CREEK HII.1.S
W.Windsor writes tkeHerald thus
ly from his stock ranch on Rock
creek:
Everything pretty much O. K. in
the Rock creek hills. Farmers and
stock ranchers wear a smile from
ear to ear, good June rains, wheat
and grass fine, stock fat, and every
body happy.
A great old country is this land of
the brave and the home of the free of
Morrow county, Oregon, hey? I
guess, yes, good enough for Mother
ond John, and Mother and John are
as good as the best.

TAKE NOTICE
(By L. A. Hunt)
Saturday afternoon the members
of the Executive Committee, the
labor committee and Wool Growers
committee met in the council cham
bers and held one of the most im
portant Farm Bureau meetings yet
held in Morrow county. After con
siderable discussion it was unani
mously decided to secure a Govern
ment trapper and for the present
time the sheepmen of the county
would prepare to pay one-half of his-
salary, which is 11500.00 and the
balance would be borne by the Fed
eral Government. Several petitions
appeared from the Northern Farm
Bureaus who are asking for an a
mount of money to be levied by
direct taxation to provide for the ex
termination of the remaining Jack
Rabbits in the sage brush area of
the John Day project. It was finally
decided to appoint a committee to
draft a petition calling for an a
mount to be fixed for the Jack Rab
bits and for the Coyotes, the two
be placed on the ballot as one meas
ure and to be handled under the dis
cretion of the County Court. By this
means the County would pay a one
fourth of the trappers salary, the
sheepmen would pay o"-fourth, and
the Federal Government would pay
one-half and all furs taken by said
trapper would be sold and the pro-
iceeds go to the contributing parties
A I in portion to the amount contributed.
A number of farmers are in ses
sion yesterday and today at the high
school building as pupils in a grain
grading school under the instruction
of Prof. Gus. R. Hyslop, of the O.
A. C. Mr. Hyslop is spoken of by
those in a position to know, as prob
ably the best wheat specialist in, the
west. Prof. Hyslop will also accom
pany the farmers on their grain in
spection through the wheat fields of
Morrow, Gilliam and Sherman coun
ties with the experiment station near
Moro, as the objective point. Re
turning the party will come via Dr.
Smith's well known ranch near the
Schuttler station on the Condon
branch and thence through the norh
ern part of Morrow county to their
homes. L. A. Hunt, who arranged
the tour, will also accompany the
party.
Some of the questions to be stud
ied on this trip are: ,
How Deep to Plow?
What Seed to Sow? I
When to Seed?
Does Harrowing erain pay, If so,
when?
How best to handleSummerfallow?
Tractor Farming?
Should we use the sub-surface
paclter?

AVEARING QUALITIES
Dan Hanshew, well known farmer
of the SandHollow country, met with
serious accident Friday evening
while riding several miles from his
home, when his saddle horse stumbl
ed and fell, breakin? the hone in
Mr. Hanshew's left leg close to the
ankle joint. The break was a nasty
one the end of the bone protruding
through the flesh and skin. Mr.
Hanshew mamvged to get hold of his
horses reins and by dragging him
self and leading his mount to a near
by bank, he managed by getting the
knee of his wounded leg in the stirr
up to gain the saddle and started for
home. He had gone but a mile or
so, however, when he met Jesse
Tui.ner and his brother in a car and
they at once took Mr. Hanshew in
the car and brought him to the hos
pital. Dr. McMurdo reduced the
fracture and made the patient as
comfortable as possible but he will
probably be forced to take a vaca
tion through the busy harvest season
when the call of a big crop will be
continually in his ears.
The marble-cement composition
floor just now being completed in
the lobby of the new hotel by Mr.
Fred. Rigutto, is one that gentleman
might refer to to customers regard
ing .the wearing qualities of his
handiwork in 400 or 500 years from
now if he is still in the business at
that time, for according to a state
ment made tho other day by Mr. Ri
gutto to a Herald reporter, the floor
lias rer.l wearing qualities. Mr. Ri
gutto, who is a native of sunny Italy,
where his forefathers have been in
the same line of business for many
years, says that in the house in which
he was born the floors are similar to
that just laid in the Heppner hotel
and that they were laid about 535
years ago. He says here is no sign
cf crack or flaw nor even any indi
cations of ordinary wear in these old
floors and that from all appearances
they are good for another 1000 years
and still be good floors.
Mr. Rigutto, after completing his
trade in Italy went to Holland where
he spent several years and about 12
years ago he laid similar floors in the
house at Oberongen, which, follow
ingthe armistice and until recently,
has been, occupied by the 1-j.ie Ger
man kaiser.
