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was rescinded.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.

Dr. C. S. 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.' " . ;

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
The Seniors of Heppner high
school, having given warning that
tney would have a flunk day, pro
ceeded to have one last Friday. They
began the day as a dress up clay and
paraded in front of the assembly.
Nothing unusual was expected, but
at ten o'clock all the Seniors disap
peared and nothing more was seen
of them until 9:30, when they ap
peared at the show that is, no
body in Heppner saw them. lone,
Lexington and Jordan Siding may
have noticed their presence.
However, it would seem that the
school administration does not ap
prove of the Seniors establishing or
attempting to establish such a . tra
dition. As t owhat happened to the
culprits some tal,es are too sad to

DANC'K TO RADIO MV8IO
A pleasant time was had by all at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Berg
strom in the Elghtmlle district Sat
urday evening, when a merry party
of friends and neighbors gathered
there and passed the evening trlp
ping the "light fantastic toe" to th
accompaniment of music furnished
by San Francisco and Calgary or
chestras. The answer to tho rtddla
Is that Maurice A. Frye, radio deal
er and all around electrician of
Heppner .happened in with a receiv
ing Bt and tuned In on whatever
was best In dance music that waa
filtering through the ether. On that
particular evening San Francisco,
nearly 1000 miles to the south, and
Calgary, almost th,e same distance t
the north, divided honors. The Berg-
strom home Is noted for Its hospital..
ity In that region. Mr. Frye used
one of his Indoor aerial sots to cor
rail the dance music.
Henry Northness, who left her
some time ago for Cowlitz county,
Washington, has returned to Mor
row county and will be located on
Wightman Bros, ranch In charge of
the wheat, farming department. A
new houso Is being built for Mr.
Northness on tho Wightman ranch.
Mike Campbell, a prosperous
sheepman of the Lone Kock country,
was In town yesterday on business.
Not being a Scotchman, as his namo
might Imply, Mr. Campbell did tho
next best thing by chosing as his an

Irishmen.
