Roy Wliiteis C loses Deal Uetween
Hari-y Duvall and Sir.
Neiners
That Morrow county reality is be
gining to look up again is evidenced
by the deal reported Monday by Roy
Whiteis, the property involved being
the "Artesian Well Ranch," owned by
Harry Duvall, north of Lexington,
the buyer being a Mr. Neiners-, c
near Walla Wralla. The ranch con
tains 1013 acres, all fine wheat land
and the price, including equipment,
was $60,000.
In the deal Mr. Duvall takes over a
finely improved 30 acre alfalfa ranch
near Walla Walla at a consideration
of $18,000.
Mr. Whiteis reports having other
big deals pending and he expects to
see Morrow county wheat land active
during the coming fall. There is get
ting to be considerable inquiry for
wheat lands and stock ranches and it
is said that two men arrived from
Portland recently to loo'.; over some
ranch deals, first making a deposit
of $75,000 in a local bank as a chec'k
jng account when they find something
to suit them.
RED CROSS WORKER HERE
Miss Kathryn Ewing arrived from
Seattle Thursday evening to do some
preliminary work incident to the
clean-up campaign on this week in
the interest of ex-service men who
have unadjusted claims against, the
government. Miss Ewing will be
succeeded by Miss Holmes who will
assist the clean up squad this week
and remain here for two or three
weeks to render assistance to ex-service
men in getting their claims sat
isfactorily adjusted.
Miss Holmes will have her head
quarters in the lobby of the Hotel
Patrick.
Miss Ewing says that the Ameri
can Red Cross has expended within
the last year for sick, disabled and in
digent ex-service men, $4,000,000
more than the gross returns from
membership dues for the same period.
An average of 1000 invalids a month
are received in the various Red Cross
hospitals, Miss Ewing says.
The local Red Cross chapter has re
cently made application for a public
health nurse for Heppner to be sup
ported by the local chapter.

FOREST NEWS FROM
For nearly two months the three
men of this district have been too
busy fighting fire to report the news.
Nearly a score of fires were fought
and varied in size from only a few
square rods to the Penland fire
where about 100 acres were burned.
Only one fire was due to human ag
ency. It spread from a camp lire.
Al, the others were the result .f
lightning.
The ancient eonr.eni.ion that "light
ning never strikes twice in the .same
place," was positively refuted at the
Crush creek fire. Observation show
ed that a tall western larch standing
in the present fira area had been
struck by lightning Eoveral years agu
and a scar about five inches in width
extended the full length of the tree.
About twenty feet of the top was dead
probably killed by the lightning at
that time. The rest of the tree; Is
living and appears to be fairly i.hv.'f
ty and the old scar n an being healed.
The bolt of lightning that started
the present fire lore a gash the en
tire length of the old scar. Th.j tret
is stil standing and is not otherwise
mutilated.
Gilbert Ritehey win has been look
out man and smoke chaser at Ar
buckle mountain left for his home in
Portland last week. In spite of. or
because of, the strenuous fire season,
he said that he had enjoyed the work
and regretted his departure.
C. H. Bowles, Lookout at Loo!. out
mountain in the I'kiah district, ter
minated his service last week ;nd le-lt
by way of Lehman Springs for his
home at Dallas. Mr. Howies repor
ted a total of fifty-nine fires during
the season. ;
The rang" conditions in this (list-
rict are poor due to the absence of:
rain since early June. The excellent
range prospects of the early summer
were scorched by the hot weather
and withered. This is especially true
in the eastern part of the district. On ,
the Five Mi,. Cattle Range the stock
men are already gathering some of
their cattle that their might be suf
ficient feed for those that are left on
the rante. The Cole sheep were re- -moved
from their allotment on Five '
Mile and .Silver Creeks early in Aug- j
ust. j
Deer hunters are not as numerou: ;
in this district this season as usual, i
The Sugarbowl Hunting lodee and :
and the Five Mile hunting lodire are ',
both occupied and several parties are ,
camped throughout the mountains, j
No success is being reported. The
hunters state that the country is go,
dry that it is impossible to move!
about without the breaking of twigs '
and the rustle of needles and leaves. I
The ground is so hard and dry that a i
deer cannot be tracked.

Another season is drawing to a
close with Irrigon, carrying away her
usual quota of blue ribbons at the
j County Fair at Heppner, three days
j hint week and our attendants are
; hack with the checks making tho de
liveries to the exhibitors. Irrigon
won something like 4 5 blues and IS
red ribbons out of a total of about
one hundred entries. The fancy v.-orkj
was not taken to Heppner as was ex
pected owing to Mrs. C. E. Glasgow
; iing unable to accompany the dis
play. If it had been possible to have
iniade the entire display and had the
exhibits not ben displayed at the
I North Morrow County Fair at
j Boardman, making many of them
I more or less wilted before the fair
i was over; they would have been nun e
attractive and drawn more prizes
but two birds were killed with one
shot even though Irrigon booths did
not exceed its past record of ten, or
1 15 years. The writer is not" in pos
session of detailed information from
i Heppner and some corrections may
be possible in the next issue.
The final summary of the North
Morrow County Fair however looks
better than at the close of the show,
the different departments in com
parison with other exhibitors show
figures as follows:

Home Economy 19 6 4 4

The elaborate display of farm pro-!
ducts did not make up the entire;
list as will tin noticed by this sum- !
mary. The home economy under the '
direction of Mrs. H. C. Wolfe, carried j
off all consideration of any compe
'ition. Fancy Work was dropped :
some during the war period and the:
Irrigon ladies have not taken it up,
y earnestly since. However, the '
booth had to have a 1 C foot extension '
made to the original plans and then
some of tin' fancy work had to lie
piled three and four deep. :
It is now hoped that, only one Fair
will be held in the county each year
and necessary steps will be taken by
the office rs of the North .Morrow,
County Fair in the near future to as
certain what the County Court and
the Morrow County Fair Hoard will
agree to do with us. The North end
Is here to stay. We can stage a Fair
and as conditions adjust themselves,
will finance a fair if it should become :
necessary. I
