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.
The commission will open bids for
construction work at Portland on
May 27th amounting to around
$1,200,000. .
