BETTER THAN BEFORE"--HEPP. RODEO MISS EVA PADBUHU HAS BEEN CHOSEX yiEEN 30 Vive Eating Uroliths Already on the Ground. Thrills and Action Promised "Bigger and Better Than Before," is the word sent out from Heppner Rodeo headquarters anent the com ing meeting scheduled for Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, Septem ber 27, 28, 29. Miss Eva Padberg, charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Padberg, has been chosen Queen of the Rodeo and those making the se lection are positive that no better choice could have been made. Miss Padberg is a typical eastern Oregon ranch girl as much at home in the saddle as in her home and her selec tion will not only give general sat isfaction but will add to the success of the occasion in many ways. There will be no dearth of fire eating, squealing, bucking horses and the trophy winners are assured of earning their prizes to the last notch. Already some 30 fyead of the snorting devils have been assembled at the grounds and are being given every attention that will insure plenty of snap and vigor in the out law equines. Other good specimens are yet to come and the management assert that when all are gathered the herd will include some of the very meanest cayuses in the state. Some 40 wild steers and many elusive calves are also already gath ered and from the present appear ance of things thei'e will be plenty ot thrills and action every day. Peterson, of Uklah, will be on hand with his famous relay string and several other strings for that event are expected. But all the fun and entertainment will not center at Rodeo grounds. Not by a long shot. There will be a first rate carnival show in town during the meeting and the kiddies and others will be surfeited on Fer ris wheels and merry-go-rounds as well as other forms of entertainment and amusement.

Heppner Is in peril every day from the same cause and steps should be taken by the city authorities at once to have the dry grass and weeds on vacant lots, streets and alleys burned under strict supervision. Heppner has had two costly bap tisms of fire in recent years and we should not, under the command of old General Apathy, invite) another. At this time we cannot, as a com munity, afford it. HEPPNER SHORT VISIT COMMISSIONER DUBY HERE William Duby of Baker, recently appointed state highway comniis.. sloner to succeed W. B. Barratt of this city, was in Heppner for a short time Thursday with R. H. Baldock, district highway engineer. The gentlemen were giving the Oregon Washington highway the once over and Mr, Baldock informed the Her ald that the present contract between Heppner and Jones hill will be com pleted early this week. Asked when Morrtow county people might expect the highway completed from Jones hill to the Umatilla coun ty line Mr. Duby replied that the highway commission is In about the same position as the wheat farmers and cowmen. Th(ey have an abun dance of places to put money but no money to put anywhere. When the present contracts are completed, Mr. Dumy said, the funds will be ex hausted and as voting more bonds is not to be thought of the only re maining resource will be the auto and gasoline taxes and a large part of that will be required for mainte nance of roads already built. cession to the Carnival people and the city authorities are the arbiters as to its operation which they say must not violate any of the city or dinances. Good order is thereby assured. Another feature that never goes begging for patronage in Heppner will be the dances to be held at the pavilion every night of the show. The well known Dalles band will be present to supply plenty of first class music day and night and the or chestra for the dances will be the best obtainable. In the exhibit hall adjoining the pavilion a real, old time '49 dance will be operated for the old fellows who have never learned the modern steps and where they may revel the night through in good, old-fashioned quadrills, reels, minuets, etc. This is not any travel ing '49 outfit but just an old-time dance for old-time folks. Th management give every as surance that the show this year w discount last year's meeting and.

Following the program the audi ence were invited to tle parlors in the spacious basement of the church where the guests were formally wel comed with past presidents and pres ent officers of the association in the receiving line. The remainder of the evening was most pleasantly spent with a new game, in which the manufacture of some very wonderful poetry play ed an important part. Following the burst of poetic fervor the company came back to prosaic things and were able to do ample justice to the refreshments, which consisted of good old, prosy apple pie and coffee with whipped and straight cream punctuation.

A. Kane." There were evidences of sur prise, not to say bewilderment, on the 'faces of the courthouse crowd and some of the old time "joshers" were inclined to the opinion that the deputy was spoofing them but she wasn't.

IMS H TERRIFIC FIRE WIPES OUT OOO HOMES AT BERKELEY Information reached here last night by radio that a terrific fire was raging at Berkeley, California and that the entire city was threat ened. Six hundred homes had al ready been destroyed and buildings were being dynamited in a mighty effort to save the University of Cali nia which is the pride of the Golden state and of the coast.

Mr. Bell conferred with the di rectors of the hotel company and received assurance from them that no objection to the deal would be coming from them If he could satis fy them of his financial responsi bility, which it is understood he was able to do. Mr. B(ell and Mr. Foley returned to The Dalles Friday evo. nlng and as this is written It is not known here whether the deal has been closed.

COMMERCIAL MEM- FRIDAY NIGHT'S DINNER WAS CALLED OFF Club Officials Regret Lack ot Inter e.s In Face of Needed Action ....The commercial rlub meeting an nounced for Friday evening when members were called to meet at the Elkhorn for a chicken dinner failed to materialize, th,e inference being that the members were not hungry. This was in no way any reflection on Ed Chinn's popular restaurant, be cause the last meeting the club held was at that place and the dinner was fine. President Van Marter and Sec rotary Sweek undertook to sell tickets for the dinner Friday morn ing but found most of the citizens so well fed and so partial to home cooTdng and the company of their wives, children or sweethearts as tht caso may be, that they did not look with favor on a community dinner with their neighbors and respectful!) declined to purchase. The dinner was, therefore, called off. Officers of the club regret the lack of Interest on the part of mem bers becauae, th,ey say, there are several matters of great importance to the town that demand attention and the purpose of the meeting that failed was to discuss theso matters (n an effort to do something to help conditions In Heppner. The officials are Inclined to bo somewhat pessi mistic agout the club's future, as one nilstic about the club's future, but one organize after a lapse of a year or two between meetings. George Thomson, who has been In a Portland hospital for several weeks where he underwent an op eration on his knee, has returned home hut is still using crutches. His physicians assure him, however, that he will soon be all right again. IF B n m B B II M U 11 H n M M 11 H U U HI n M U M H B ri a r IK The Central Market
