BROWN Y SUGGESTION TOO STRONG FOR BARRATT AND YEOX Thought Waves Wafted Through Ether From Portland Makes Dinner Taste Good It is a curious thing hpy fast thought waves can rTffel"and what far reaching effects they sometimes have. Last Wednesday a cattleman from up Idaho way told the Oregonian hotel reporter how he thought tho sheepmen in his state would pull through this period of depression be cause the bankers have itaken the sheepmen's autos awayWom them and they have gone walking to work. The story was not published till Thursday morning tout listen: Highway Commissioners Barratt and Yeon were driving towards) Heppner Wednesday afternoon. Bar ratt is av sheepman when he Isn't scheming around the state trying to make $7,000,000 build $14,000,000 worth of highways and as they bowl ed r.long down Hinton creek that thought wave from Portland hit W. B. squarcy on the bean and he con cluded that, as his banker had evi dently overlooked something anil that what was good enough for an Idaho sheepman ought to be good enough for an Oregon shepherd, cut off the gas and issued an ..ultimatum, to his friend Yeon. "Here's where we walk," quoth Barratt ftnd they proceeded to climb out of that car and do a marathon to Heppner. Yeon didn't understand what it. was all about until Barratt explained tho hunch he had just grabbed out of tho blue but, being an accomodating gentleman, ho said he would itry any thing once to help his co-worker out. They readied the Hotel Patrick in good time for the dinner that had been arranged for them by a few business men. of the cjty and Barratt said later that that walk was just what he neijded to work oft the effects' of the dining and gmpe juicing the people of Grunt, Maker, and Malheur counties had deluged them with the previous week and In give him a proper appreciation oC Heppner hospitality. The gentlemen were returning from a trip which stalled lit. Arling ton some two weeks ago, leading via. Condon, Fossil, Spray, Canyon City 1'niiiie City, Maker, out to Stiako river, and over a good part of Mal heur county. They travelled by land and water, on trains', by auto, on horseback and on foot. It may be added that the thought wave that, hit Mr. Marratt, on the re bound, struck a tire on the auo ami caused a bad blowout.
