SCORES AT STATE FAIR
SMEAD RETURNS FROM SALEM
WITH BLUE RIBBOXS
Also Takes First on County Exhibit
At Multnomah County
Fuir
W. W. Sraead returned last Friday
evening from western Oregon after at
tending the Multnomah County Fair
at Gresham and the Oregon State
Fair at Salem, taking first
money on the Morrow county exhibit
at both shows.
Mr. Smead left Heppner with the
Morrow county exhibit immediately
after the Morrow County Fair, show
ing first at Gresham an- men a
Salem.
At the Gresham Fair he secured
first money for the first county ex
hibit and at the State Fair he also
took first premium on county exhib
it, and first on the best exhibit of
honey in the state. The honey was
produced by Mr.Duncan, of Cecil.
Mr. Smead is well pleased with
his success at these shows, realizing,
as he did that his exhibit was not up
to the usual standard this year on ac
count of the early frosts.
After leaving the state fair Mr.
Smead stored his exhibit in Portland
where he will again put jt on exnibi
tion at the International Livestock
Exposition in November.
HEPPNER TAKES FIRST GAME
FROM FOSSIL, 12 to O
Heard's proteges took the game
from Fossil high school last Satur
day by a score of 12 to 0.
The first haif'of-the game ended
without a score fpr either team.
But the local boys spruced up in the
second half and carried the pigskin
over the Fossil line once in each
quarter.
The first half of the game was
pretty ragged football, well seasoned
with fumbles and various other er
rors, but iu speaking of his teams ap
pearance in that half, Coach Heard
gives the reason that seven of men
on his squad were playing their first
game of football and had what
might be known as a mild case or
stage fright. But in the second half
they had gained a little more confi
dence ia themselves and tore into the
Fossil line in a way that meant busi
ness. 1
.' Woodcraft for Heppner was the
tax of the game! He carried,, the
ball through the Fossil line time af
ter time for big gain's and without
him Heppners score , wouldn't have
baea the same. FergUBon at end and
Irwtn at quarter each played a good
game. ''','
Heppner plays Hermiston here
next Saturday and it promisee to be a
goad game, as Hermiston nas been
getting the' bacon from awgnoortng
twns for the past two weeks, with
big scores in most cases. .
, Frank Wilks and his daughter-in-law,
Mrs. James Wilks, of Monument,
left Saturday morning for Kelso,

FIRST LYCEUM NUMBER FRIDAY,
OCTOBER 12
Some splendid attractions are pro
mised from the lyceura course to be
given in the high school auaitorium
the coming winter under the auspices
of the Heppner high school. The
first number will be given Friday,
October 21st, the attraction on that

VISITORS FROM VIRGINIA
Mrs. McMu'do and her son, A. E.
McMurdo, of Charlottsville, Va., are
here visiting their san and brother,
Dr. A. D. McMurdo and family. Mr.
McMurdo, who is extensively engaged
in the orchard business in Virginia,
went down to Hood River Wednesday
to investigate western methods in
growing, packing and .marketing ap
ples. While he admits that prob
ably the westerners have a bit ye
best of eastern growers in packing
and displaying their fruit on the mar
ket he contends that no western ap
ple has quite the delicious flavor of
those grown iu the Old Domin on.
ITER TOO LOW EOR
FERRY AT BOARDMAN
A. B. Straight, who secured a fran
chise for a ferry across the Columbia
river at Boardman last spring and
who recently' completed a fine new
new boat there, was in town Wednes
day securing a change of franchise
permitting him to change the loca
tion from Boardman to Castle Rock,
some four miles to the west.
The reason for the change is that
it was found that at this season,
when the river is low, there is not
sufficient water near the Oregon
shore to float the craft, making it im
possible for him to make a landing.
The petition was granted and Mr.
Straight will make a similar request
of the county officials' on the Wash
ington side, hoping soon to have his
boat in commission to handle all busi
ness offered.'
Mr. Straight has ' invested several
thousand dollar besides a summer's
work building the bom. ... fie fig
ures that lady luck has been glVlnf
htm the mitten. However be feels
that his troubles will soon be ovei
and he will realize well from his in
vestment.

WRECK
Mrs. Alice Long received word f
few days ago that her son, Glenn Mc-
Ferren, was seriously injured in an
auto accident near Shoshoni, Wyom

left Heppner some three weeks ap

tend a dance with another young

edover in the ditch, pinning both men
in freeing himself and then released
the other man who was not seriously

on the leg which required eight
stitches to close.
The following day Mrs. Long's son-in-law'

Heavy rains began falling September
19 and continued with one or two
i'lnrriesof snow for nearly a week.
The dust has been settled and the
air washed clear of smoke and dust.
the grass is starting on the lower
ranges.
Nearly all sheep men report the
less of sheep. The stormy weather
set them to scattering and as soon as
the rains were over, mushrooms, of
which sheep are extremely fond
came up. ,The sheep are so very
fond of mushrooms that they will
leave the best of feed and go into
the heavy timber in search of them
and become badly scattered.
Guy Boyer reports the loss of near
ly six hundred sheep on driveway No.
4. He was coming from the Rush
creek country to Heppner when he
mixed with another sheep outfit. His
dogs became worn out and after they
were separated the dogs left him. The
herder and camp tender were unable
to hold the sheep and they scattered
badly.

the entire Ukiah-El!is-He pner road.
Verlcles of any kind could navigate
it only during extremly dry weather
and cars usually did not try. Last
year only one car got bogged down
here but that was due to the fact
that only one ca rtrled to cross.
Road work Is now th order of the
day on this district. Since complet

IiUIM.KT HOARD APPOI.MEI)
At Its regular meeting held last
week thecounty court appointed the
budget board to meet with the county
court in November to assist that
body In making up a budget of county
expenditures for the coining year,
The following gentlemen were nam
ed: C. E. Glasgow, Irlgon; Dwlght
Mlsener, lone; W. F. Barnett, Lex
ington; A. E. Wright, Hardman; M.
D. Clark, Heppner.
The gentlemen named are all rep
resentative citizens and substantial
tax payers of the county and the sel
ection represent every part of the
county.
The appointments are made ia
compliance to a law bassed at the
jlaat session of the legislature,
Hon. R. J. Carsner, who runs sheep
and cattle as a pastime and not for
the money there is in the business
who represents Wheeler, Gilliam and
Sherman in the legislature when that
body is in session, as a business and
whose religion is the promotion of a
north and south highway from Hepp
ner to Spray, was in town last week
preaching his religion to the county,
court and all residents of Heppner.
The road Mr. Carsner seeks to
have built is about 24 miles long run
ning from a point on the Heppner-Hardman-Monument
road, a fey
miles south of Hardman, almost due
south to a connection with the John.
Day highway at Spray. This 2 4
miles of road, about half of whicli
runs through the forest reserve and
would be largely built by the federal
government, Mr. Carsner points out
would not only give the people of tho
John Day valley a chance to get out
to Heppner at all seasons of the year
but it would also be the connecting
link between the Columbia River
highway, the Oregon-Washington
highway, the John Day highway, the
Ochoco highway and the Dalles Cali
fornia highway, furnishing a direct
route of travel from as far north a
Spokane through Walla Walla, Pen
dleton, Heppner and many other
Oregon interior towns to Klamath
and Luke counties and on to Califor
nia. Mr. Carsner is an enthusiast on
the subject but ho doesn't talk
through his hat any when discussing
it. He knows the country, has his
p. ... .. j.,
iui:m, ngureg and arguments "pat"
and Is in earnest in wanting to de
velop that section of the interior.
His mission to Heppner last week
was to try to enlist a party of llepp
nerites to accompany him on a trip
over the proposed road and Its con
nections as far as I'rineville whern
the Central Oregon Fair was In Ses
sion but while we are all very much in
favor of the road we are neither cold
nor hot about boosting for it, which
condition of mind has never built
many roads In uny country.
