Round-Up show that will prove of
especial interest. About 50 horses
of known bucking ability and unsav

sweet temper, have been engaged for
the affair and so well satisfied is Mr.
Smead with the outlaw tendencies of
some of the Broncos that he has off

invited. t is especially desired that
at least one representative rider from
each section of the county be present.
Arrangements are also going along
for a fine program, of saddle races
and Gentry Field just east of the
school house on the hignway has
been ecured for these events.
All bad-horse riders and those who
want to become such are requested
to meet with the fair board at the

IX MEMORY
After a valiant battle for health
against the insidious attae'lts of dis
ease which lasted for more than
four months Kathryn Pattison,
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.
A. Pattison, went away last Tuesday,
July J2, 1921, at the age of 17 years,
7 months and days. Besides her
parents she is survivied by one
brother and one sister, Everett and
Dorothy Pattison, both of Heppner.
She was a member of the class of '21,
Heppner high school and although
unable to be present at the commen
cement exercises she was able to
graduate with her class.
The simple but impressive funeral
service of the Chistiar. Science faith,
conducted by C. L. Freeman, was
held at the Federated church Thurs
day afternoon and the body was ta
ken Friday to the Portland cremator
ium and in that beauty spot on the
banks of the Willamette, amidst the
beauteous trees and shrubs and
flowers, kissed by God's soft breezes j The Sunday programs will be among
and warm sunshine, all of which she j he best. Plan to attend both after
loved so well, her ashes will repose j noon and evening,
on nature's bosom to blend with their I .
elements.
"I cannot say, and I will
not say
That she is dead;
She is just away.
With a cheery smile and a
wave of the hand
She lias wandered into another
land,
And left us dreaming how
very fair,
It needs must be since she
lingers there.
She Is not dead,
She is just away."

COUNCIL HELD MID-MONTH
MEETING MONDAY EVENING
City council held a mid-month
meeting Monday evening when final
settlement was made with the Con
crete Pipe company for the work
done on the gravity water main.
The company has had several men
making repairs on the main recently
and it is now saidto be in fine con-
Jiren. A provision of the contract
was that the seepage of water during
the fiow through the concrete pipe
should not exceed 10 per cent and
careful tests and measurements of
the water shows that this has been
complied with.
The council has agreed to author
ize the county court to make a ten
der of f.T.O.OO to the MoHaley estate
and friOO.OO to Ray Slocum for right-
of-way damage through their prop
erty caused by the Oregon-Washing
ton hig'.nw.y. It is understood that
if the offers are not accepted con
demnation proceedings will be in
stituted at once.
CHANGE IV CENTRAL
OWNERSHIP
MARKET
C. W. McNamer announces that he
has purchased the interest of his
partner, B. F. Sorenson in the Cen
tral Market and will henceforth con
duct the business alone. The firm
has enjoyed 'a splendid patronage
and rendered excellent service to
their patrons and the change in own
ership and management will in no
wise reduce the standard in business.
Mr. McNamer has had long experi
ence in the meat business and knows
it from the ground up- GeorgeRitchie
of lone, has succeeded Jack O'Neill
as block man in the market. Mr.
Ritchie was formerly employed in
the market and has many friends in
Heppner. Mr. Sorenson is at Port
land this week with a shipment of
cattle and it has not been learned
what his future plans are.
HO' EL REMAINS CLOSED
. The Hotel Patrick has been closed
to the public by Pat Foley a week
ago because of misunderstanding
wth the Light company regardine
the cost of lighting, is still closed,
and notnins definale can be learned
as to when the place will reopen.
Rep, i t has it that Mr. Foley is ar-'
ranging to install a private lighting
system and will the re-open the ho
tel. The closing has worked a hard
ship on Heppner and can hardly avoid
hurting the business which had been
growing nicely since the opening
January 1st considering the financial
and business conditions the past
year. "
THE ( HAlTAigt'A
The Chautauqua will open at
three o'clock, Thursday ofternoon
July 21. Make up your mind to at
tend every session you possibly can.
The committee regrets that the
dates this year come in the harvest
season, but it cannot be helped. How
ever they want it understood that the
harvest hands will he welcome. They
need not stay away because it ts in
convenient to change clothes. Come
in after the day's work is over, if
you can and enjoy the evening's pro
gram Do not stop to dress up.
Your smiling face is what will count.

FOREST NEWS
Gurdittie District
Ranger Woods and Langdon, have
been repairing the Heppner telephone
line. Time does not permit a
thorough overhauling; but sufficient
maintenance' work is being done to
give service during the dry weather
of the fire season.
The fire season is now on and
gives promise of being serious. Nearly
every day a now fire is reported, but
so far nearly all fires have occured
in the low range, outside' the foretst
and are being handled by the State
fire wardens. The federal foresters
are co-operating throughout their
lookout men in detecting the fires
and, as far as their own duties per
mit, they are assisting in suppression.
Gilbert Ritchie went on duty at
Arbuckle mountain last Monday as
loo'kout man and smoke chaser
When his fire duties permit he will
work at maintenance of improve
ments.
Frank Bloss, army vocational
training man, arrived this week and
will take up the duty of lookout at
Tamarack mountain In the Heppner
district.
Mrs. Woods and children are vis
iting with Ranger Woods at Ellis
Rajiger Station. She hopes to be on
the ground and ready for huckelber

Ranger Woods was away on official
business in Heppner. He lias been
stopping at Ellis Ranger station dur

IRRIGON, Ore., July 16. (Spe
cial) And the rabbits! We are
giving thun the very devil. The po
tato deal, outlined in last week's
Issue, has proven to be quite a
success but F. C. Fredricksen reports
Mill a better way. Chas. H. Stew
ard also reports on same. The for
mula in made as follows: Take one
quart of flour, 1-2 ounce strychnine,
1-2 cup or sugar, 1-2 cup of salt.
First mix dry then dampen
enough to get all lumps Into dough,
thin to consistency of thin gravy.
This will probably make about 3 or 4
quarts of liquid which should be
made up in container like 5 gallon
oil can which has handles made so
as to permit handling the container
without getting hands into mixture.
Take cedar shingles rplit about 1 to
2 inches in width or. make cedar
stakes 12 or 14 Indies long with one
end fliarpened or left thicker and
wider. Place the big end down in
to the mixture, and carry the contain
to where the poison is desired to be
placed. A pair of pliers or some
other method rather than taking hold
of the sticks should be found rather
than handling them with the bare
hands. The sticks should be stuck
in the ground broadwuy across run
ways and other plan s where the rab
bits are In the habit of passing. The
oil can if used, should be thoroughly
cleaned of Hie smell of oil as this
nuiy be offensive to the jacks and
kill the smell of the salt and sugar.
Other woods besides cedar may work
but our experience on cedar has prov
en most successful. C. H. Steward
took out one lot mcde from 1-2
ounce of strychnine Saturday even
ing and before hagot through pulling
it out, counted five dead rabbits and
next morning a total of 4$ in 12
hours, oa Monday morning It more
dead oneg were found from this 1-2
ounce of poison and the sticks are
still on the Job getting the rabbits.
This experiment was made where al
falfa fields surround It on all sides.
Various vegetables besides the pota
to have been tried but with the ex-
eeption of the potatoe none of the
others hare met with much success. I
This poison on sticks has beat a,, j
winter poisoning records and should !
be adopted far and near by all fann
er. For the benefit of fruit seekers
coming from other districts by auto,

BOA RDM AX BEE KEEPERS
ORGANIZE
BOARDMAN, Or., July 16. (Spe
cial.) At a meeting held July 11th
at the residence of Ingvard Scoubo
under the direction of It. A. Scullen,
secretary of the Oregon Beekeepers
association, the beekeepers of Board
man and vicinity organized an associ
ation to be known as the Morrow
County Beekeepers association.
The following officers were elec
ted: Sylvester Atteberry, president;
Taul Smith, vice-president; C. II.
Dillabough, secretary-treasurer. The
annual dues were filed at 50 cents
payable in advance. Ten men joined
at the meeting but is was decided to
hi l.i the charter list open for ten
lays to accomodate those beekeep
ers who could not attend, or who had
not heard of the meeting being called
at mat time and place.
11. A. Scullen, State Secretary,
gave ,a a very interesting and in
struetho talk on beekeeping and an
swered sucU quest ions as only a
novice in the business could think to
ask. It was very evident from the
questions asked that what we did
not know about, beekeeping would
make a pretty big book.
While we were nearly all in the
primer class of beekeepers, Mr. Scnl
len's discourse not only covered the
A. 11. C. of bee culture but also the
X. Y. Z. of the profession.
All beekeepers who wish to join
the association as charter members
may send their names and GO cents
annual dues to me on or before July
21st and their names will be placed
on the charter list. Don't delay
longer than July 21st as Mr. Scullen
wants a list of all members sent to
him at about that time.
