body of men ami wiiuen. i
The usual entertainment accorded j
to delegates and members who at

be missing, it is true, but the natural
beauty of the country in southeast-,

outdoor frolic. An Elk barbecue will ;

at Harrlman lodge, on the shores of ;
White Pelican Bay, and following the j
big feed, a vaudeville entertainment!
will be staged in a natural ampithe-j

committee some months ago. The ;
acts for this entertainment will be
furnished by each lodge of the state
in th form of surprise acts, which
will be both novel and entertaining.
Trips into the wonder spots of
the Klamath country, street dances,
and the old fashioned carnival will
be Kta.ied in Klamath Falls and fvery
moment of the three-day session
promises to be filled with fun and
frolic.
A special deluxe train will be op
erated from Portland to Klamath j
Falls, leaving Portland at 11 a. m. j
on August 13th. Many of the lodges j
throughout the state will take ad
vantage of this special rain, with its :
reduced rates, while many others are
planning on motoring to the conven

"Eternal Triangle" and Big
Touring Car Figure In Arrest
The "eternal triangle" was fea
tured in an episode which had Its
climax in Heppner last Thursday
when two nieumers ot the triangle
were arrested by IVputy Sheriff Me
lht'Tee and City .Marshal Casou.
One point of the triangle touched
at Portland, one at Pendleton and the
other at Heppner. 1
Mrs. McCreau was iu Portland.
Her husband was in Pendleton. Re
cently they returned from California.
She says her husband was a part of a
bootlegging ring, anyway that is what
she told the otheers. Her husband
had the big Haynes touring ear in
Pendleton and as she says, "he ex
pected to leave soon for Idaho on an
important deal, in which he expected
to clean up a few thousand dollars
on an illicit booze proposition."
So Mrs. McCrean hired a chauffuer
from Portland by the name of
Schwarz, and they went to Pendleton I
and got away with the car. That is, j
they were getting aw ay with it until J
they met with motor trouble in Sand!
in phone connection with her hus
band mid he came over the next day
and fixed things up. The MeCreaus
went back to Pendleton and Schwarz.
the hired chauffuer from Portland,
returned to that city Saturday,
tnlghty glad, as lie said, to be free
from the mess which he unwittingly
got into.

To Pendleton To Reside'
City Of lone Will Put
In New Water Pipes
The City of lone is getting prices
and estimates on the cost of putting
in a new system of water maius. Sev
eral years ago the city put in a sys
tem of wood pipes and these have
proved far from satisfactory. Leaks
in many places have been general and
the condition of the pipe, finally,
would not stand the high pressure
from the city's reservoir and as a re
sult the city has had to resort to a
very low pressure during the last sev
eral months. 11. V. Gates, president
of the Heppner Light & Water Co.,
is figuring with them and they may
accept his services in putting in their
new system.

Guy Haston Family Made An
Extensive Automobile Trip
Mr. and Mrs. Guy Huston of Eight ;
Mile were in Heppner for a few hours j
last Friday. Mr. Huston says lie and j
his family just returned from an ex-j
tensive auto trip through the John '
Day country and over in the interior i
as far as Malhuer. They found a !
dryer country and rougher roads than j
in Morrow county and return home 1
more pleased than ever with this par-!
ticular section. The Hustons visited
at Baker and made the return trip by ;
the way of the Grande Ronde valley
In speaking of crop conditions in the
upper Eight Mile secti -n, Mr. Huston
said: "It has been one ot the most
remarkable seasons I have ever seen
here. In fact I doubt if there has
been a more remarkable one. When
you consider that our spring grain
matured without a drop of rain and
that we will harvest a fair crop and :
spi-e of that dry condition, you will
realize what a wonderful country we
have here." One piece of Mr. Hus-'
ton's grain stands four feet high and '
Is thick on the ground, and although j
the heads are not large, the quality j
is excellent. He is using a one-man j
combine in harvesting his crop.
Rabbits are destroying the sheep
range south of Echo to such an ex
tent that he sheepmen are interested
in the poisoning of the pests and have
offered to co-operate with the farm
ers, according to Fred Bennion.
county agent, and D. L. Jamison of
the V. S. Biological Survey, who re
turned from a survey of the west end
of the county.
The survey, which was made for
the purpose of investigating condi
tions before the winter poisoning 1
campaign, revealed also that the rab
bits are especially thick on the alfal
fa farms on Butter creek.
Another serious phase of the situa
tion, says Mr. eBnnion, toward which
the energies of the coming extermin
ation campaign will be directed, is
the great number of rabbits in the
inside territory, which is covered with
sage brush and which while not fami
ng territory, forms ab reeding place
for the rabbits. Such territory is lo
cated on a strip of land between the
Columbia and Hermiston project,
with another strip between the Uma
tilla an dthe Cold Springs reservori,
and a third between Stanfield and
Hermiston. Extermination of rabibts
in this territory, in the opinion of
Mr. Bnenion, is the most important
work of all as it will stop the spread
ing of animals to cultivated land.
, Sentiment in the west end Is strong
In favor of the poisoning, according
to Mr. Bennion, and the farmers seem
eager to cooperate. Estimates of the
poison necesary for the work will be
made and the campaign organized
for the winter work. J. F. McXaught
of Hermiston will be an assistant of
Mr. Bennion's.
Mr. Bennion and Mr. Jamison will
visit Pilot Rock and Nolin to continue
investigations. Pendleton E. 0.

the car and its occupants into Hepp-j

the arrest of the couple had been sent
out by Sheriff Taylor of Vmatilla

long in taking them in charge.
Mrs. McCrean was not held, al
though her accomplice remained in

Echo Man Attacked By Angry
Laborer Over Wage Payment
Because his employer did not have
sufficient cash on hand to pay him
and found it necessary to pay him by
check, Ed Stanford, laborer on the
ranch of Jess Correa, well known
Echo man, attacked Correa with a
knife. He was unable to inflict any
damage, but was placed under arrest
and held by Justice of Peace Crary
to the grand jury, after a bearing.
Stanford, who appears to be a man
of considerable intelligence but rath
er radical tendencies, ran amuck
when Correa came into the bunk
house to get his name for the pay
check. He grabbed Correa and
swung him around, attempting to get
a chance to hit him. Correa, how
ever, came back with a board and
Stanford drew a knife. By that time
Frank Correa was on the scene and
the fight was stopped.
