ROOSEVELT FAVORS
IMMEDIATE RESUMPTION IS AD
VOCATED FOR NORTHWEST
Protests Against His" Costs Are
Scouted by Democratic Nomi
nee for Vice-President.
TOM UOYLEX CUTTING
FINE WHEAT
CROP
Spokane, Wash. Immediate re
sumption of work on reclamation
projects, which, he charged, had been
stopped by the present republic-congress,
was advocated thePacific north
west by Franklin D. Roosevelt, de
mocratic nominee for vice-president
in a speech he delivered at the state
armory here on August 19.
"You in the northwest," he said,
"are familiar with some of the work
which has already been, done in using
the waters of our streams for the rec-
- lamation and development of thou
sands of acres of arid lands. That
work must continue with vastly in
creased energy.
"It is absurd to say that this coun
try cannot afford the cost. Already
existing operations, such as that of
the Yakima valley, have demonstrat
ed that the cost to the country is re
paid a thousand fold. Already we
know that the annual crop produc
tion from, most of these projects is
sufficient in value to cover the whole
cost of the construction.
"Where we have spent a hundred
millons up to now, we must spend
ten times that figure in the immedi
ate future. These projects are sound
from a financial point of view, but
more than that, they are of absolute
necessary to the proper economic fu
ture of the whole nation.
,'Ve must provide additional lands
and a greater food production for our
increased population. We must see
to it that these projects shall be con
ducted for the benefit of home-seekers
and home-builders, and not for
the benefit of speculators or a priv
ileged few.
"The territory embraced In the so
called Columbia basin project Is, for
example, one of first national Im
portance. Washington Is not the
only state concerned, either In Its
building or Its future benefits. It be
longs to the whole nation, and the
general government must co-operate
with the northwest In plans of such
splendid magnitude as that."
"I can fully1 assure you that Gov
ernor Cox and I are in full sympathy
with the spirit of the west In these
matters", he added, "and your desire
to have definite action taken on them
Tom Boylen, one of the biggest
s,heepnian in the Butter creek coun
try, has commenced turning a part
of his attention to wheat farming
and is now harvesting 2000 acres of
wheat that is making 18 bushels per
acrs. The variety is White Hybred
similar to the old Club wheat.
Mr. Boylen is saving his straw
carefully and boasts of having in his
employ the best straw stacker in the
United States. The straw will be
HEPPNER'S FIRE SIREN
to a place in song or J
this writer will cut out ...
in story form which .J.
used for sheep feed next winter and
Mr. Boylen figures that the straw
and pasturage from his 2000 acres
will pay for the labor of plowing and
seeding the ground and harvesting
and threshing the crop. He has 2200
acres of summer fallow ready to put
in wheat this fall.
Mr. Boylen is also experimenting
with sunflowers as a silage crop this
year and has put up two big silos
which are now 'being filled with sun
flower silage. The crop is yielding
between 2 5 and 30 tons per acre and
Mr. Boylen claims that two tons of
sunflower silage is worth one ton of
alfalfa silage.
WILD GEESE GOING SOUTH.
John Kilkenny was in from Sand
Hollow Thursday passing out storm
warnings to his friends. Mr. Kil
kenny reported that a big flock of
wild geese passed over his place that
morning headed due south and fly
ing low. He estimated about 300 in
the flock. Old settlers agree that
from time Immemorial the flight of
wild geese to the south In the autumn
presaged a storm and the statement
was general that such a flight has
never before been heard of in August
Usually the earliest flights have been
around the first of October.
A NEEDED INSTITUTION
The new hospital recently enlarged
and Improved and now open for the
accommodation of patients, is an In-
stitution that fills a want in the
community and, under the efficient
management of the owner, Mrs1. Ray
Moore, is giving splendid satisfaction
to physicians and patients alike.
Extensive additions have recently
been made to the building and ac
commodations for eight patients are
now available.
The location of the building is a
point In Its favor being on the hill
In the south part of town away from
the dust and noise of the business
section as well as above the heat of
the lower section of the town.
On the lower floor are two wards
for the accommodation of patients,

Knowledge or wnat tne west wants i "kitchen, lavatory, etc., and on the

also were urged by Mr. Roosevelt, an(j convenience
Heppner has a fire siren that is entitled
J. story. Not being poetical, nor yet musical,
.J. the high brow stuff and try to tell the tale
should satisfy our readers if true.
'. So here eoes:
J. Not being well versed in dictionary stuff nor in mythological s$
Js legend, we met our old tried and true friend Noah Webster, on a 4
J. bridge, the other day and asked him about it: .J.
J. "What is a siren?" asked we. "A siren, my son," replied he, s.
J. "is a sea nymph who lures mariners, 1. e. men, to their destruction." .J.
Js That sounded good and by a little stretch of the Imagination we vj
Js brought the definition down to date and applied it to Heppner.
J There being no sea here and not many nymphs, we figured that a .j.
Js good, healthy fire somewhere in town might take the sea part in the j
Js show, the members of the Heppner fire company would answer firsUJ.
J rate for the mariners and the contraption, on top of the Roberts Js
.Js building if togged out with a thatch of greenish hair, a few silver- .j.
J. ed scales and the north end of a Rainbow trout swimming south Js
J. might, fairly well, fill the hill for a modern siren or mermaid, if .J.
J you get what we mean.
J. But just then friend Noah broke in with another definition. "It tJ
Js also means," quoth Noah, "A woman who sings sweetly." That
just about floored us. Noah certainly never heard our siren per- .J.
.J. form. Our siren, as a matter of fact, when it makes a noise, which .J.
J. isn't always, doesn't exactly impersonate a Melba or even a Schu- J.
J- man-Hein'k when it conies right down to musical tones. In fact .J.
.J. it usually sounds more like the last expiring wail of a medium- .J.
J sized veal that had been rather inaptly knocked on the head. In fact j
J the sound is one rather calculated to give a listener that low feeling .J.
J. which is not conducive to breeding pep and ginger in the soul of J.
a volunteer fireman but which will rather, most likely, make him A
feel like going away back somewhere and sitting down and aband- .J.
J. oning himself to gloomy thoughts.
While pondering deeply on this latest definition, which, by the .j.
way, we think Noah ought to be ashamed of, the old man butted A
J. in again and, after clearing his throat and smoothing his whiskers .Js
J. he continued: . j.
'Yes and in acoustics it also means an apparatus producing must- T
J. cal tones by the rapid interruption of a current of air, steam or A
J. other fluid by a perforated rotating disc used in acoustical In A
A vestigations, and, in a large form as a fog horn." A
A That was the stuff we fell for the big, hand-picked words being WJ.
.J. right in our line, and suddenly a great light dawned and we un- A
J. derstood the whlchness of the why. Fog horn. That explains A
J. eveything. Our siren was never intended as a fire alarm. A
It was bought and paid for to warn mariners on the turbulent A
waters of Willow creek against the rocky bluffs and treacherous A
A shoals along the Heppner water -front and to prevent them (the A
A mariners and their boats) from buttln' their bloomln' brains out A
A against the Glbraltean walls of Morrow county rock where, accord- J
J. ing to Mike Roberts, once were "Killed and Robbed 100 Fools." A
Everything at once became as clear , as mud. The device is not A
A a fire alarm; it Is a fog horn, pure ana slmpl, and It should be A
A perfectly evident to every well balanced mind that during the sum- A
J mer season when there are no fogs we have no use for our fog horn A
A which Is undoubtedly why the motor of the contraption has been A
Js out of commission for two months and also why, when the laund- A
J. ry caught fire the other day, the apparatus failed to produce any A
musical, or other, sounds by the rapid Interruption of a current of A
J. air, hot or otherwise, through Its wonderful perforated rotating A
J. disc. A
A If we may be pardoned for changing the subject somewhat ab- A
J. ruptly wouldn't It be a good idea for the town to buy a good, old .j.
A fashioned fire bell and hang It high up In some public place with a .J.
j. long, strong rope attached, where anybody who happened to see, A
A or hear or smell a fire at any time of the day or night might pull .J,
A the rope and summon the willing fire Hunters, whloh Inrludes ev- A
-
J. ery man, woman and child In Heppner who In able to walk, to turn A
A out and help suve what Is left of the old town and what Is built of A
A the newt A

SEARCH OK HOMES FOR
LIQUOR. NOT PERSllTTEO
Seattle, Wash. Robert C. Saund
ers, United Slates attorney has an
nounced that he lias instructed feder
al prohibition agents to make no
further searches of private residences
for liquor unless they had absolute
proof that unlawful sales were being
made.
Home brew for consumption, of
family and friends is safe from fed
eral Intervention on a search war
rant. Home-made beer and wines are
exempt as well as any imported
stocks, intended for strictly social
purposes, insofar as a search warrant
applies. Unlawful possession of liq
uor, the prosceutor said, may be
met with prosecution, but the home
where it is kept is inviolable from
search. From the instruction Issued
to the federal prohibition squad, it
Is understood according to federal
officials that no special effort will
be made to locate s-tocks of exhiliar
ating beverages, unless their use is
flagrant and offensive.
The instructions issued, he said,
are based on the fourth and fifth a-
mendments to the federal constitu
tion, especially the fourth amend
ment, which makes a "man's home
his castle", and on section 25 of the
title II of the Volstead act, which
readB as follows:
"No search warrant shall Issue
to search any private dwelling occu
pied as such unless it Is being used
for the unlawful sale of intoxicat
ing liquors."
The new instructions do not apply,
Mr. Saunders said, to lodging houses,
hotels and rooms over stores where
the transient public resides. The rul
ing is to apply to the home-owner
and the permanent resident .citizen
who has a family and Is maintaining
a household.

Judge C. C. Patterson and family
left for Portland this morning whore
they expect to make their home at
least for a time.
Judge Patterson is one of Morrow
county's best known and most respeo
ted citizens and, although a Simon
pure democrat in an overwhelmingly
republican county, he was for many
year honored with re-election to tha
Important office of county judge, a
position he filled with credit to him
self and with a full measure of ser
vice for the county.
Judge Pattlrson's health has beea
poor for several years, a condition
that caused him to retire from tho
county judgeship and the same rea
son is now given for the family's re
moval from Heppner. It Is hoped,
that a change of climate may have a
good effect on Judge atterson'a
health and the better opportunity for
his sons to secure a technical educa
tion afforded In, the city is also a
factor In their decision to leave Heppner.
Perhaps no other resident of Mor
row county has more friends than
Judge Patterson and his family art)
also hold In high esteem.
A number of friends were at tho
depot this morning to bid the
family God speed on their journey
and in wishing them all joy and pro
sperity In their new home.

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Latourell re
turned from Portland Sunday even

business and pleasure trip. They
made tho trip In their new Ford

made the 200 mile trip no comfort
ably In any other car. The roads are
getting pretty well cut up In many
places but the llttlecoupo seemed to
pick out the soft places lo light when
retrelvlng Itself from chuck holes and
no damage was- done. They made the
trip earn way In Just about eight

not so bad considering the condition
