L. A. Hunt, manager of the Oregon j
Haygrowers association, was over
from Hermiston Saturday saying hel
lo to his friends here. Mr. Hunt re
ports the affairs of the haygrowers
association in fine shape. The fourth
shipment) of Morrow County hay to
go forward to Atlantic seaboard mar
kets, was scheduled to leave Port
land by steamer today consigned to
New York via. the Panama Canal.
This shipment comprised 300 tons
and it is expected several thousand
Dons will follow it as fast as it can be
baled and graded for shipment. The
opening up of a market in the east
for north Morrow County hay is a
great boom to the if owers of that
section of the county, and will dis
pose of most of the surplus hay in the
county, Mr. Hunt believes.
If anyone thinks the Heppner, post
ofice doesn't do much business he
should read this:
From October 1st to October 15th
inclusive, there was received 1374
pieces of incoming parcel post mail
weghing an aggregate of 9660
pounds. During the same time there
was received and sent out from this
office 568 packages weighing an
aggregate of 2450 pounds, making a
total of a little better than six tons
of parcel post matter in 15 days. No
wonder our postmaster weighs less
than 200 pounds is it? Wonder how
much of that incoming stuff was
from Rears & Sawbuck?
Mail order houses advertise en
tirely in the country districts by the
catalog method. Local merchants
have a much better method of ad
vertising their goods through the
medium of the local newsapers if
used judiciously and we Herald
people are always mighty glad to
help you write your ads, if you will
only say the word.

UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, Oct.
22, (Special.) Houses are scarce
and rents are high the world over,
but two boys from The Dalles, Nor- j
man Russel and Guy Ferry, who are
now Freshmen at the University of
Oregon, have shown a resourceful
independence of landlords. Their
domicile is a tent under a leaning
maple tree, about half a mile from
the University campus, and they do
their commuting on a motorcycle.
Their tent home is not a tempor
ary expedient. They expect to live
in it for four years. In June 192 5,
they expect to step from its shelter
wearing caps and gowng.
Over a wooden foundation the men
have placed an army wall tent. The
wooden floor is boarded up from the
sides for more than three feet. This
wall is neatly covered with tar paper
and the tent fits snugly down over
the sides. A jointed stove pipe pro
truding from the south side of the
tent and a split pile of wood bea'
witness that the men are standing
by for chilly weather. Electric light:
will soon be installed.

Judge Campbell, Commissioners

Waters left for Portland Sunday to
be present today at the regular meet
ing of the State Highway Commis
sion when it is expected the contract
will be awarded for the paving of the
Heppner-Lexington section of the
Oregon-Washington highway.
Highway Commissioner Barratt
went over the Gilliam county section
of the highway, between the Morrow
county line and Heppner Junction a
short time ago with members of the
Gilliam county court, looking over
some necessary changes in the sur
vey and it is understood the Gilliam
county officials are willing to co-operate
in the completion of that sec
tion of the highway.''
With the highway completed to the
Columbia river highway, we people
up here need not care a hoot for
railroads and railroad strikes for
trucking and staging will be pretty
good, thank you.

Hoppmer people will recall the

OLD HEPPXEH MOItO GRUDGE
EVENED AT 61-0 CLIP
Do you remember the good old days
when Moro used to send over a foot
ball team with big Elsworth in the
lineup, and the hours of squabbling
before each game as to whether he
was eligible to play; and the reports
that were used to spice those argu
ments as to the years he had been
married and the number of child
ren he had? And do you remember
that in the days when Ellsworth
played football or baseball, as the
case might have been, that Moro
would trundell happily home after a
game with Heppner with the big end
of the score tucked in under the
seat?
That day has changed. Moro
journeyed to Heppner last Saturday
with big Elsworth conspicuous this
time by his absence. But it would
n't have made much difference this
year if they had had the whole Els
j worth family in that crowd, Heppner
! is simply too much for them.
Practically the only sensation
of the day came at the begining
of the game after Moro
had received the ball from Heppmer's
kickoff and on the first down ran the
ball up the field for about 2 5 yards.
We term this a sensation, on looking
back at the game as it was the only
accident that happened to Moro dur
ing the entire game.
After this Heppner got the ball
and it was just ono touch 6own after
another until the end of the first
half when the scoreboard registered
Heppner 47 to Moro's goose-ejjg. And
Moro was ready to quit.
The last two quarters were short
ened to 5 minutes each as an Induce
ment to kepthe Sherman county boys
ion the Job.
The game ended with Heppner 64
points in the lead and Moro still
holding strong to their original fig
ure cm the scoreboard for consola
tion honors.

Last week there were only two
days of school because of teachers'
institute the last three days. The
institute was very successful. About
sixty teachers attended. The speak
ers from out of town were: Mr.
Gentle, of the Oregon State Normal;
Mr. Churchill, our state superinten
dent; Miss Cowgill, of O. A. C; Dr.
Clark, of the U. of O.; Miss Schreyer
public health nurse and Miss Mar
ressey, who gave instructions in the
Palmer method of writing.
The musical program was furnish
ed under the instructions of Miss Da
foe. Many muscal numbers were
given by the students of the high
school. Velma Case sang a solo,
Bernice Woodson played an instru
mental solo, Betty Irwin danced,
Patty Mahoney and Mrs. Darbee
sans. Mrs. Roy Missaldine and
Mrs. Frank Turner sang a beauti
ful duet.
A mixed quartet was formed for
these three days by Mr. and Mrs
Frank Turner, Miss Palmateer and
Mr. Lee. They sang the Oregon
State song. All the teachers were
given a copy of this song which they
sajig at every meeting.
The high school orchestra is pro
gressing very nicely and will soon be
able to appear before the public.
Last Friday evening was the first
number of the lyceuni course to come
here this year. This number war
well patronized by the people of
Heppner. If the next five numbers
are as good as the first one, they will
give the peopleof Heppner something
worth while. The total amount tak
en in for the season ticket Lyceum
campaign was three hundred and
fifteen dollars. Violet Merritt and
Mary Van Vactor won the three

pound box of candy by selling the
largest number of season tickets.
Heppner made the biggest score of
its football history Saturday when
they defeated Moro 70 to 0.
The game started with Heppner
kicking off. The Moro team receiv
ed the ball but did not run it back
very far. They ran a few success
ful end runs but lost the ball on
blocked punt. The Heppner team
made an off tackle buck; then Fer
guson carried the ball over on a criss
cross play. Ferguson failed to kick
goal. After that it was a foot race
for the goal posts. The first half en
ded with a score of 49 to 0 in Hopp-
ner's favor.
As the Moro boys were tired
partly crippled from Friday's game
"'f'x Grass Valley, the quarters of the
last half were shortened to 5 min
utes each.
In the third quarter Heppner
tried two place kicks but failed.
Irwin had Witcraft try a drop kick
which was successful. After that
the game was more of a practice
game, for all the substitutes were
used and many forward passes tried
with a few of them completed.
Raymond Ferguson was the only
player hurt on the field. He was re
placed by "Brick" Hall and the game
kept up its running style.
Heppner has only one more game
scheduled and that is with Lexington
on the 11th of November. The man
ager has written to other schools for
games but has not received any re
plys as yet.
Harold Case, who has been on an
extended tacatlon, started to school
Monday.
Violet Merritt is trying to find
some place to hide that box of candy,
but she says It is impossible with so
many admirers.
Chas. D. Sennett, who is one of the
oldest old timers of what is now
Morrow county, was in Heppner Mon
day skirmishing around as lively as
a boy of 45 or 50 in spite of the fact
that he came to Oregon in 1860and
was almost of age at that time. He
came to eastern Oregon and to what
is now Heppner in 1874 when, all
that was here was the Heppner &
Maddock store, the Ferguson house
where travel was kept and the Stans
bery cabin near whore the new May
street bridge is now being built. Mr.
Sennett kept the stage station, on the
old overland route in the days when
old John Hailey operated the stage
line and this was on the real frontier.
Mr. Sennett now lives in Montana
but is spending the winter at lone.
He was here looking alter some le
gal mailers for a friend of his and
was too busy to unfold any stories of
the pioneerdays but ho is coming
back some day when he has more
time to talk and then we will get
some real history.
That the state and national associ
ations of wool growers may be com
pletely reorganized along lines which
will make possible co-operative mar
ke'ing of both wool and lambs is a
forecast made by F. R. Marshall, sec
retary of the National Wool Growers
association in a letter which has been
received by Mat Hoke, secretary of
the Oregon Wool Growers associa
tion says the East Oregonian.
A request is made in this letter to
the effect! that the Oregon sheepmen
continue the date of their slate meet
ing until after the national meeting
has been held in order that! the re
sults of the national meeting may ba
first ascertained and possibly acted
on later by the state.
It is probable that! the request of
the national secretary will be hon
ored, Mr. Hoke said. Last yea the
Oregon sheepmen met in December.
The date this year for the national
association's meet has not! been defi
nitely set, but it is probable that It
will start about January 9th. In this
event tJie Oregon meeting will be
held during this latter part of tlio
month, it is thought.
According to Marshall's letter tV
Hoke, plans are now on foot to have
the Wool Growers Commission, Co.,
now under private ownership and be
ing managed by A. J. Knolin, turned
over to tho National association. Tho
sthte associations would be made
units of the national ogan.izution in
the new marketing scheme, according
to tentalve plans.
The wide spread of prices that! ex
ists between what the producer gels
and what the consumer pays when
he orders lamb chops is given as one
cause of the determination, of sheep
men to organize.
THERE'S A REASON
ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Roadmaster McCaleb reports that
MorrowCounty has at last got a drag
out of Uncle Sam's road money pock
et to the tune of $148.50 which is
just 100 per cent more than we got
from the old gentlman last year. If
thedrag continues for twenty years at
the same rate of increase we will
have enough money to hard surface
every mile of road In the county.
How is that for a day dream?
The $148.50 has been expended on
the road to Ritter which is said to
now be in pretty good shape.
