To Those Who Have Signed Pledges to the
RED CROSS WAR FUND:
; i
It is hoped that those who have signed pledges
for Red Cross payments will respond promptly to
the notices of installments due, which were mailed
out last week. I
Wherever possible, payment should be made for
the ENTIRE balance due,; rather than just for the
respective installment. This will save needless
bookkeeping for those who are volunteering their
services in this connection. So, if at all possible, pay
up in full now for the entire amount you have sub
scribed. Make checks and money orders payable to
the First National Bank, Heppner, Ore., and mail
them in promptly. ' . ..

city with her parents and attended
school here. She has a host of friends

PORTLAND IS BECOMING
GREAT WOOL MARKET
Close to 12,000,000 pounds of
wool, the product of spring clippings
in the Northwestern states, and equal
to or greater than the entire clip of
the state of Oregon, is today stored
in the warehouses in Portland. This
was declared by a wool warehouse
manager to be equal to one-tenth of
the entire wool production of the
United States. With the exception
of Boston, which is the wool center
of the United States, and possibly
two- other cities, more fleece is now
stored here than anywhere else in the
country Portland Livestock Reporter.
Special Trains For Round-Up.
Fifty thousand dollars will be ex
pended by Pendleton in putting on
the 1917 Round-Up, September 20,
21 and 22, which insures the very
best in contests, horses, steers, per
formers and contests worth seeing,
kyecial Pullman trains have already
been engaged and will come from
Portland, Spokane and St. Paul. The
attendance will be equal to it not
greater than 1916. The railroads
have granted the usual special rate
of one and one-third fare for the
round trip from all points in the
northwest. The railroad officials as
sure the management there will be no
falling off in attendance and the only
question with them is whether or not
they will be able to furnish the equip
ment.
MORE OF OUR BOYS
JOIN TIE COLORS
Three more Morrow county young
men heard the call to the colors this
week and responded by enlisting
through W. A. Richardson, local re
cruiting officer. Percy Cox, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Dee Cox of Hinton
creek and E. E. Robertson, a young
man who has been working in and
about Heppner for some time, have
enlisted In the navy. They left Hepp
ner Tuesday morning for Portland,
where they will take the examina
tion. Another young man who left
this week is Glenn R. Hadley of
Hardman . Mr. Hadley will enlist
as a marine.
E. E. McDaniel was another Hard
man boy who has joined the colors
He left Heppner Thursday in com
pany with young Hadley to take the
examination in Portland. If they are
successful they will go on to San
Francisco, where they will join the
marines.
Several other young men are con
templating an enlistment before they
receive the official notification of the
draft.
Sells Two Cars of Autos.
John F. Vaughn of Vaughn &
Sons, has made some record as an
auto salesman. He has sold two car
loads of Chevrolet cars in as many
weeks. This car is proving popular
with Morrow county people and bids
fair to become a real rival to the
Ford. It is a light car, but costs
more than the Ford.
Creamery Raises Prices.
The Morrow County Creamery Co.,
beginning with the first of August,
has raised prices on milk and cream.
Hereafter they will charge 11 cents
per quart for milk instead of ten and
25 cents per pint for cream instead of
20 as formerly. The increase is
caused by the raise in the wholesale
price by the Alfalfa Lawn Dairy.

PRODUCERS MAY SAVE
SURPLUS PRODUCTS
Home-Made Evaporator Dries Fruits
or Vegetables Rain or Sliine.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, July 3,1. Growers of win-the-war
crops may save the most valuable
part of their surplus products by
evaporating them at home in a sim
ple and cheap home-made evaporator
designed by the O. A. .C Hort. depart
ment and fully explained in Exten
sion bulletin 213, now ready for dis
tribution. The title of the bulletin is
A Moderate-sized Evaporator for
Fruits and Vegetables. Photographs
and drawings are used to make plain
the text, and by means of all these
almost anyone who cares to under
take it may build at home an effec
tive evaporator.
The .capacity of this evaporator is
six' bushels. Since most of the evap
orated products can be dried out to a
good keeping stage in about six hours
it is readily seen that the products
may be handled in commercial quan
tities if two or more families go in
together and build and operate on?
of these evaporators in conimoi
By following the ideas of the bul
letin in a general way It will fre
quently be possible to construct the
drier out of such materials as are at
band, or to remodel some unused
building, such as the smoke-house,
with heat produced by the idle heat
er or the laundry stove.
Men and women who used to sun
dry their fruits and keep off the flies
by mosquito netting for several days
to each batch find great satisfaction
in drying their fruit and vegetables
in a few hours, rain or shine.

PEOPLE ARE SLOW
TO ACT ON PAVING
Street Improvements Are Wanted By
Some But Big Majority Are In
different to Serious Situation
Which Confronts City.
The property owners of Heppner
move slow. The agitation for street
Improvement is waning but the sit
uation is not only as serious now as
formerly but Is growing more acute
at the days go by.
Another meeting of city officials
with property owners and tax payers
was held Wednesday evening in the
city council chambers and Mayor Not
son announced that from expressions
received to date, the ratio stood 16 to
10 in favor ot crushed rock as against
paving.
The question as it stands today is
not one ot absolute paving and noth
ing else. It is a question of doing
something soon to improve our
streets and thereby eliminate the
chuck holes which are growing deep
er and rougher.
The statement was made by a city
official a short time ago, and it is a
statement that stands well nigh in
vulnerable so far as the attacks ot
those who are opposed to any kind of
street improvement is concerned. He
said, "the condition ot our streets
next winter will be such as to make
them impassable to traffic unless
some immediate steps are taken to
improve them." He called attention
to the present worn out condition of
Main street, brought about largely
by the continual wearing of heavy
automobiles and trucks. The holes
which are apparent now, will fill
with water when the tall rains come
and the process of erosion will go on
unabated.
Now that a majority ot property
owners have decided for crushed rock
it is possible that the city council may
be able to go ahead with that kind
ot improvement. It Is possible that
the cost may not be so great that a
bond issue will need to be voted.
However, we believe that if a bond
issue of this nature was put before
the peopl It would carry with an over
whelming vote. Again, it is possible
that the money needed might be
raised by popular subscription. One
thing appears certain and that Is, if
nothing is done for our streets now,
there will be a larger demand for Im
provement later on, and when that
time comes', it seems logical to be
lieve the. cost wi.ll be greater.
Time was when the average cattle
and sheepman in Morrow county
could scarcely walk from the house
to the barn, he had to have the old
reliable saddle horse ever at hand for
his convenience. But what a change
has come about in the past few years.
Art Minor, who at one time was one
of the foremost horsemen of this sec
tion, very seldom gets on a horse
these days. If he goes out to look at
a bunch of cattle or make a visit to
one of his many sheep camps, he finds
it a comfort and a convenience to
make the trip in one of his automo
biles. He keeps three or four of
these machines near at hand at all
times. As a consequence, as Mr.
Minor recently remarked, a bunion
which formerly adorned one of his
f et, has entirely disappeared. The
.vowth had been caused by continual
i'iding In former years, the foot rub
bing against the stirrup.
The cowboy is learning the versa
tility of the au-omu'uilc as well. What
a strange sight It was t'-lj week to
see Guy Boyer, uppr- lL.iton creek
farmer and stockma, driving into
town in his big iiudson Super-Six
with a fine horse occupying the rear
seat of the car. From all appearances
the horse was as much at home as he
would have been if being led behind
another horse at the end of a halter
rope. The horse was a Shetland stal
lion which Mr. Boyer recently bought
in the vicinity of Fossil. There seems
to be no limit to which the auto may
be used these days.
Very Hot in East.
In a letter which W. R. Irwin re
cently received from his son Stephen
who at the present time is in Clncin
atti, the latter says extremely hot
weather is being experienced there
now. The nights are espclally op
pressive according to young Irwin.
Stephen intends to enter a technical
school in September and specialize in
an engineering course.
