THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPXER, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1917. Page Three HEAVIEST TRAIN OF LAMBS SHIPPED OUT FROM GIBBON RANGE A 6000-MILE TIRi lPH MiNHH The Paige is now reaping the reward of conservative finan.'Ul policies and sound business judgment. The creation and the continued maintenance of the quality that has made The Most Beautiful Car in America the overwhelming choice of the public, are due to the advan' tages the Paige Company possesses. These advantages are: A capitalization far lower than that, of any other company ipproximating the Pafge in the sales 'increase during the past six months in which field, by the way, the Paige has distanced all competitors. Scientific management that . keeps overhead expense down to che minimum. Huge manufacturing facilities operated by modern, scientific methods. Low profit per car. There you have in a nut'shel the reasons you can buy Paige quality at so low a figure in these days of high iicea.

The facilities and services of the Farmers and Stockgrow ers National Bank are in reality much broad er in scope than that. We are going to outline the functions of this institution In detail in this . space from time to time. Watch closely. THE FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK .Heppner, Oregon OLDS MOTOR WORKS SHIPS BIG TRAIN LOAD Sixty Carloads in One Shipment to Kansas City. As a fitting climax to a year of most remarkable expansion and growth, the Olds Motor Works cele brated the close of its fiscal year by loading a solid train load of sixty Santa Pe automobile cars which moved out of Lansing Sunday morn ing, July 29th, for Kansas City. Train loads are not new to automo bile business; but such an immense shipment as sixty cars, many of which were double deck, has occurred but very few times among the many remarkable accomplishments of the automobile industry. It is particu larly worthy of note at this time when some predicted that war conditttns would effect the motor car business. The shipment contained 207 Olds mobiles of different models valued at $283,761.00. Transportation charges alone were over ? 15,000. The train was over half a mile long in fact it was not possible to photograph all of it as there was not a stretch of track with unobstructed view around Lan sing that was long enough to show the train. General Manager VerLinden, takes a pardonable pride in so practical a demonstration of Oldsmobile pro gress and accomplishments, as it tells in positive terms of the wonderful strides accomplished by the Olds Mo tor Works during the year just closed. Moreover, it serves equally well as a standard by which to reckon on Oldsmobiles for the future since they are now building enough cars to load such a train from much less than two days output. Mr. Colin, local dealer, says this shipment is but a further evidence of the popularity of the Oldsmobile, for while production has forged rapidly, he is still obliged to place his orders much in advance to insure prompt delivery. Return From Southwest Trip. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hughes returned home Saturday from a visit to Texas and other states of the Southwest. While away, they visited with rela tives in Dallas, San Antonio and oth er Texas cities. Mr. Hughes is of the opinion that Arizona is the hottest place he ever visited. From Texas, Mr. and Mrs. Hughes went north through Oklahoma and Kansas and paid a visit to Mr. Hughes' old home in Missouri. i Mutton Is Sent to Chicago By Km j the Hrothers; Price Received Is 1.1 Cents. What proved to be the heaviest train of lambs ever placed on the Chi cago market, was shipped from Gib bon the first of the month by Smythe Bros, according to a letter received here by Dan P. Smythe, one of the members of the firm from the agent in Chicago. Despite adverse condi tions, the animals weighed 86 pounds and brought 15 cents. ' They were lambed at Arlington and summered on the Wenaha national forest at Gibbon. There were about 4200 in the lot, the offspring of Hampshire rams and half blood Lin coln Merino ewes, and were undoubt edly the best lambs ever coming out of the northwest. Mr. Smythe believes that the ani mals would have weighed around 90 pounds had it not been for the fact that the railroad required 19 hours to move them from Gibbon to Wallu la, a distance of 75 miles and that they were off feed for about three days at one time. At that, they made a remarkable showing, he considers, for the reason that the late spring probably stunted theif growth to some extent. The train was in charge of Marion Van Sthoaick, Smythe Bros, foreman. Pendleton Tribune. RUNAWAY TEAM TAKES PART IN IMPROVEMENT The equine element of our popula tion are getting the spirit and have entered into the crusade to clean up Heppner proper in regard to the old wooden awnings that have been a dis grace to the town these many years. Saturday afternoon a team, which we understand belongs to Bob Thom son, took fright at something back of the Palace hotel and made a bee line across the street to the Herald of fice. Whether they were seeking ref uge in the Herald office or not, we have not learned, but we do know that they tore down all the wooden awnings that formerly adorned the front of that place and they did a job of it as good as any carpenter. 1 was a lucky thing that none of our citizens were passing by there at the time or someone might have bene hurt by the falling posts and boards. Current events were taking place in a close-Vicinity of the press for a few minutes and brother Pattison didn't even have to get up out of his office chair to chronicle events. Mr. Thompson may be induced to loan his horses to several other prop erty owners of the city in cleaning up their premises. Their first job will surely recommend them for future orders. Houses Are Scarce. Houses for rent in Heppner were never as scarce as at the present time In fact, right today there is not a va cant house in the town. We know of one man who has been striving stead ily for three weeks to secure a house for himself and family during the winter. He has not succeeded yet in getting located. If this condition lasts for a month or more, the situa tion will be a hard one to deal with. From present Indications, many peo ple will pass the winter in tents here if some provision is not made for proper hpusing between now and winter. The Federated Church. Sunday School at 9:45.

Ralph' Cecil, formerly of this city, was married last Saturday evening to Miss Ruby Dennlson of Spray. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. A. Noyes, of the Federated church at the home of the groom's sister, Mrs. J. O. Rasmus. They will make their home at Spray. Earl Caldwell of Hermiston was a visitor in Heppner last Friday.
