Morrow County M-2S IF YOU WANT ALL THE NEWS OF MORROW COUNTY WHILE IT IS NEWS, READ THE HEPPNER HERALD. WE PRINT IT FIRST HEPPM VOLUME X HEPPNER, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH n, 1924 NUMBER 45 HERALD J2JRL PORTLAND MEN BEHIND BILL DELEGATES FROM WHEAT COUNTIES ENTERTAINED Business Interests of Metropolis Are Ready to Go the Limit to Heip( Parmer Charles B. Cox, secretary-treasurer of the Morrow County Export league, who attended a meeting of the state organization at Portland early last week, returned from the city Wednesday, bringing word that the Portland Chamber of Commerce is strongly behind the McNary-Hau- gen wheat export bill and that every possible effort is being brought to hear to have the bill put over in con gress at the earliest possible moment. Some time ago the board of di rectors of the Portland chamber passed a resolution condemning the measure, but it now appears that the action was taken without having giv en the measure proper consideration and at a later meeting the action was rescinded. The meeting last week had been called to meet at Pendleton, but af ter the favorable action by the cham ber it was decided to meet at Port land instead and it was arranged to hold an afternoon meeting Monday at the Portland chamber of com merce rooms. Because of shortness of notice to the Portland chamber but few members were present Mon day afternoon and the eastern Ore gon men, of whom some 15 were present, were prevailed upon to re main over a day and attend a din ner Tuesday evening when- arepre sentative attendance of Portland bus iness men would be present.. This plan was agreed to by the visiting wheat men and Mr. Cox says the meeting Tuesday evening was a most enthusiastic one every Portland man present pledging full support to the measure. - The following report of the meet ing as printed in the Portland Tele gram shows the present attitude of Portland business interests towards the McNary-Haugen measure: "That a big lobby of business men from each of the grain growing states of the West be sent to Wash ington to urge congress to pass the McNary-Haugen bill, which provides for a export bounty on wheat, was the decision reached yesterday by a large group of Portland jobbers, merchants and bankers following a two day conference with . farmers bankers and merchants from Eastern Oregon held .in the Chamber of Com merce. "Local business men through the chamber, will urge commercial or ganizations of all large cities in the West to name delegations to join the Oregon delegation On the trip to Washington. Farmers' organizations -will be asked to co-operate. "Geneal Manager W. D. B. Dod sou, of the chamber, has sent a "tele gram to Senator McNary asking when the lobby should make its ap pearance in Washington. . Eastern Support Asked "In addition, the fight for passage of the bill, will be pressed on other lipids. Portland firms are to be re quested to communicate with busi ness firms in the East with which they have connections, urging that they have their representatives in congress support the measure on the ground that it means the continued prosperity of the West. "All civic clubs with national af filiations will be asked to urge units of their organizations in Eastern states to aid' the measure. "The delegation from Eastern Ore gon representing the Oregon Ex port league came to Portland in de spair. F. B. Ingles of Dufur, its chairman, said that the farming ele ment had gone as far as possible in its fight for passage ot the measure, but that congress wanted 'to know; what big business interests thought about it. If the business interests can be stirred into action- in favor of j the measure, he said, he believed itj would pass. Farmers Face Bankruptcy j "'The farmers, the country mer chants and the country bankers have reached a crisis,' said Edward C. Pease, merchant of The Dalles. 'Farmers are deeply In debt because they have been unable to make any thing from their farms during the last three years and the banker and the merchant have gone the limit in extending -credits. " 'When the banker and the mer chant close ini on the farmers, which we will be forced to do, the- result will be that the farmer will go into bankruptcy and his buying power will end. This will react upon the business men of the country towns and in turn it will react upon the banks and the business houses of Portland. " 'You have spent millions here in providing shipping facilities for our products, but they will prove worth less to you if relief is not given the farmer so that he will remain on the soil and produce. " 'It is of vital importance to you that you support this measure, which we believe is the safest and sanest that has been proposed.' "Others of the delegation present ed arguments, including A. R. Hunt er, Union county; W. W. Harsah, Umatilla county, F. H. Gaukle, Wal lowa county; W. S. Powell, Sherman county; L. S. Rogers, Umatilla coun ty; Herbert Egbert, Wasco county L. S. Kelly, Moro county; N. G. Hedin, Wapinitia. Portland Committee Named "Nathan Strauss suggested the ap pointment of a committee of Port land business men to -device plans, whereby the aid requested could be provided. The suggestion was adopt ed and the following were named: Edward Ehrman, O. W. Mielke Nathan Strauss, 0. C. Calhoun, Ed ward Neustadter, Julius L. Meier, Frank Kerr, John Gill, P. C. Patter son, Ralph H. Brackett, George Law rence, Jr., and George Young. "This committee met with the Eastern Oregon delegation following the general meeting and the plan of tne campaign was outlined. "Efforts will be made to interest the United States Chamber of.-Com-iM,erce in the fight for the passage of the measure by having the Pa cific Coast regional division recom mend such action." HEPPNER MAY HAVE REAL A movement is on foot, so it is un derstood, by" which the, city may take over the old fair ground property at the foot of Main street along with some adjacent property where a first-class auto camp ground will be fitted up. The need for such a convenience has already been felt and with the completion of the Oregon-Washing ton highway between here and Pen dleton the need will be imperative. Modern shelters with cooking con veniences and other necessary ac commodations needed for the wel fare of the tourist travel Will be pro vided if the project is carried thru as now seems likely. , Incidentally it may be added that It is the general belief among those in closest touch, with highway mat ters that the highway will be com pleted probably by the end of 1925 when a considerable portion of the summer tourist travel will follow the Heppner route. RHODE ISLAND RED HATCHING EGGS Place your orders now for pure bred Rhode Island- Red eggs for hatching. These eggs are from the famous Maguire strain and . rank with the best in Oregon.

Leede, physician of Seattle, who visited Germany in 1923, makes the following statement: "I went to the public baths that I might better observe the real physical condition of the boys in Germany. A class of boys was brought into the swimming pool room for my observation. I found the mark of rickets indelibly impressed upon these lads' chests. The instructor asked me to guess the ages of these youngsters. 'If they had been American boys,' I replied, 'from their size I should judge them to be 6 or 7 years old.' 'That is the pity,' replied the instructor, 'these boys are 12, 13 and 14 years of age.' " . ; FOOD COMMISSIONER MAKES EGG RULING J. D.
