Poultry raising is one of our largest national industries. The high price of eggs and meat makes it an extremely profitable business. Generous premiums for all kinds ot poultry will be awarded by the big Morrow County Fair, Heppner, Ore., Sept. 15 to 17. , A new auto stage line from Pendle ton to Portland may be put in some ;sion time this month, according to Chas. I Guard Casteel and Ranger Woods had Conners of The Dalles, who was in ! tne Phones back in good working or- Hermiston last Saturday. Mr. Confers is at present manager of the C. & M. auto stage from The Dalels tH (Portland and from Hood River to Portlamd. Mr. Conners - states that his company uses Pack ard twin-six cars and if the Pendle ton line is put on it will use this type of cars, figuring on as fast a service ' as the speed law will allow. They expect to carry aio baggage bigger than suit cases. Mr. Conner has in mind two feed ing lines, one from Arlington to Con don and the other one from Heppner. This line would probably join the main line at Hermiston and Mr. Con ners said he would try to get a Her miston man to operate it. The plans are not yet a certainty, but should, de velop one way orthe othjithin the next few weeks. Hermiston Herald.

During Tuesday, Lookout Blos3 at Tamarack mountain reported a to tal ot thirteen fires. The Lookout in the Ukiah district up to Saturday night reported nearly a score. Nearly all of the fires were put out while they were small. But only a light sprinkle of rain fell over the Gurdane district and some fires, were yet bur ning, notably the Pole creek fire and the Matlock fire near the junction of Matlock and Scaffold creeks. By the last of the week drift smoke was seriously interfering with the look outs in fire detection. Smoke chaser Ritchie had the misfortune at the Pole creek fire of having the handle burnt off his well polished shovel. He had laid it down by a log to cool from an active heat of trenching while he wielded an axe. In his short absence sparks set the log on fire.. Incidentally, anoth er shovel was available so no time was lost. A new bridge has been built by Mr. Stout and Ranger Woods at Spruce Spring near South Jones Prairie. This is a road improvement that has long been needed. It will be appreciated by persons hauling wood from the Jones Prairie region. There is great abundance of dry lodge pole, pine, commonly called black pine, on national forest lands near the Jones Prairies. This tim ber makes excellent stove wood. Per mits for use will be granted free upon application V the J'orest Ranger, Gurdane, Oregon, or by phone to El lis Ranger Station. The Five Mile Dritt fence is now completed. Tlie lust of the crew left for their homes Sunday. A total of fourteen miles was constructed. Tlii' forest Ser ice supplied the ma terial and tin? Cattle association paid for ti.e work.

Culick, and Phil Higgins, of Lena, Walker Ellis, of Albee, and Clair Sturdivant, of Ukiah, inspected the Five Mile Fence Sunday. The huckleberry crop in this dis trict is a failure. Only occasionally does one find even a small patch. In very few cases does a person find the bushes bearing more than a few scattering berries.

Aldrich, editor of the East Ore gonian, and who chaperoned tin' parly, declared that the drive made Elkhorn ham. and eggs and coffc 'neverything taste like apples from the Garden of Eden and nectar of Urn gods. The trip was taken with a view to getting better acquainted with the big territory and with the condition ot the roads leading into and out from that empire. Pendleton is figuring on getting a better road built between there and Canyon City and they do not deny that it will have to be a mighty good road to overcome the distance be tween their town and tho rich val ley of the John Day and that same rich valley and Heppner. However, while they are all too polite to sny.so they no doubt pin I heir failh on tho present condition of the roads be tween Heppner and the interior and on Heppner's well known ability to sit. tight, and let present conditions"! continue. If we need a better road. into the interior, say we, what's tho matter with letting that mythical but mighty accommodating and convea lent George build it.
