lion of Portland and Seattle Says
"There's (ood lu Everything."
"My motto is, "there's good In ev
erything,' " said Put to a Cuzetto
Times reporter. It was this way.
And Buy, the fellow who Invented "K
pays to udvertise," was sure flirting
with the Hall of Fame.
"As I was going to say," continu
ed Pat, "on my return from the East
it was necessary for nie to muke a
trip lo Portluud about some insur
ance matters. I always stop at the
Multnomuh Hotel. Friday morning
I came down, found a seat and start
ed reading the morning paper. After
u little while I noticed a group of
persons, including the house detect
ive how did I know it was the house
detective? Say! As this was no un
usual occurance around hotels I gave
it but passing notice. However, from
the corner of my eye 1 noticed thut
now and then one of the group would
inadvertantly nod in my direction.
'Maybe they think I'm P. A. Ander
son," Baid I to myself, und at the
same time my eyes met this, 'Pat
Crow, a promiuent Bheep owner of
lleppner, Oregon is registered at
the Multnomah.' My first Impulse
was to go and llnd out who was re
sponsible for this deception and make
his face resemble Kd AdkinB' last
summer when he attempted to learn
lo eat with a knife and fork. Not
that 1 have any concientious scruples
against being a 'promiuent sheep ow
ner' but I don't like deception in any
thing. "While I was deciding where to
begin execution, my motto came into
my mind, so I decided to go out and
throw a rock at a policeman and let
it go at that. Just as I was going
to lake another chance on one of the
revolving doors und say, I would
like to know who conceived the Idea
of a folding bed, an esculating stair
way and a revolving door through
the door came with a quick step a
friend whom I had not seen since the
war, and who was at the head of one
of the largest corporations on the
coast. I had Just read nbout Ills re
turn from the Atlantic coast, where
he had sewed up the largest order
for ship spars ever taken, lie had
seen my 'ad' and knew that if anyone
should give me a pet lamb I would
n't know how to own it. A moment
more we were on our way to the
Spaulding building, where the offices
of the Associated Engineering Cor
poration are located. Soon after, we
were In his car on our way to the
Peninsula, where their two manufac
turing establishments are located.
Aside from being the largest ship
spur manufacturers in the world,
they produce the 'Kkookutn Logging
HIim k' and the 'Hadio Pipeless Fur
nace,' the last word In scientific house
and store heating. 'We are going
lifter World Trode,' said my friend,
'and we want und must have good
men.' Hefore I left hi m 1 had 'signed
up' irrespective of the fact that Jack
McCullough, Harney Dolierly und my
self have a gentlemen's agreement
never to work any more. It's the
opportunity of a lifetime, and I'll
make good."

was financial throughout, and he

farmers' business organization. To
that end, he urged the farmers to buy
liberally of Trl-State stock when it Is
placed on the market.

SIX MILLS MARKET
RDAD FOP. RHEA CREEK
County Court Designates Market
Road l or 1020 and Luck of Fi
nance Prohibits Other Permanent
Road Work Road and General
Claims ore Allowed.
The county court has designated
a market road to be built from Jor
dan Siding up Rhea creek for a dis
tance of six miles. This road will
be a permanent one and it is estima
ted the cost will run near $5000 per
mile. Owing to the limited finances
of the county, it is possible for the
court to designate but one market
road each year, and for that reason
it was necessary to deny the petition
of W. C. Caldwell and' others from
lrrigou for the designation of a mar
ket road from Irrigon to Heppner.
A road committee from the county
court recently viewed a route for a
new highway between Boardman, Ir
rigon and Heppner, This route would
be the shortest distance between the
county seat and the two towns on the
Columbia and would eliminate the
expense of building two roads.
The court took up the road and
general claims allowed them and or
dered warrants drawn for their pay
ment. Attention Old Maids Confidenti

E
Munim Men of Heppner Are Liberal
In Subscribing to Support of Civic
Uody Much Work to Be Done.
The Heppner Commercial Club is
gelling on a belter financial basis.
As a resuit of a meeting held In De-
ceniber, when the club members were
addressed by Fred Curry, former city
mnagor of La Grande; the club de
cided to adopt a different course than
has heretofore been pursued, and as
a resuit the committee which was
appointed lo gatner in the shekels,
has turned in Its report. This shows
that the business men of Heppner
have responded liberally to the call
for support and nearly two hundred
dollars a month will now be available
to carry out the various projects
which the club may see lit to under
take. A noticeable feature of the drive
,. funds is the fact that a number
of stockman who realize that the ben
efits of the club work will be shared
by the country as well as the town,
nave come in for their share of sup
port. The city of Heppner is also
taking a hand in the move to bring
better things to Heppner and Mor
row county and have voted an appro
priation of $25 a month to the ciub.
There are a number of big pro
jects awaiting the club's attention
and it is quite likely that our com
mercial body will become active dur
ing the year just ahead. With more
business men making an investment
of dollars into the club, it is to be
uoped that they will follow up with
a greater investment of time than
heretofore given, and that all the
meetings will find a full membership
present to take up and solve the pro
blems which stand in the way of our
future development.
The list to date shows the follow
ing members who have subscribed an
amount to be paid each month:
