Great Development Will Result From John Day District Says Pioneer "I have heard considerable of the, great John Day Irrigation Project," said Henry Blackman, Morrow coun- ty pionwr, who is here on nis annual visit, accompanied by Mrs. Black man; in speaking with a Gazette Times representative this wees. "NA'hen this vast body of land is un der irrigation, foodstuffs twill be rais ed sufficient to support the entire state of Oregon. I may not live to see it. but the younger generation will, when Morrow county will rank with Multnomah in point of wealth." Mr. Blackman finds a great many improvements in Heppner since his last visit here, with the completion of the Elks', Gilliam & Bisbee and hotel buildings on Main street. "These more than repay for the loss by fire in 1918," said Mr. Blackman, "and like all interior towns, is benefitted in the long run." When Mr. Blackman made his home here for a good many years, he was prominently identified in politics and was the recipient of many hon ors. He served as collector of cus toms in Portland and was a leader in the democratic politics of the state. However, since making his home in California, Mr. Blackman has with drawn from the ativities of political life to a considerable degree and when we asked him for his opinion of the political situation, he said he was entirely out of politics andh ad noth ing to say. The three sons of Mr. and Mrs. Blackman are all doing well. Hepp ner, the cartoonist, is following his profession in New York; Leo has re tuned as a mining engineer with the American Smelting and Refining Co. to Chill and is located at Arica; and Abe is in the mercantile business in Los Angeles and expects to go short ly to Seattle to take charge of a store. After spending two weeks here as guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Phill Cohn, Mr. and Mrs. Blackman will go to Portland for six weeks be fore returning to their San Fancisco home.

H. Lowe. They say it will be a genuine old-time party, taking you back to the days of long ago.

The cowboys will go dressed in chaps, spurs and big hat?, in order to look perfectly natural. Music will be furnished by the fam ous Pendleton Round-Up Orchestra and supper will be served by Mrs. T. H. Lowe. The Secret of a Superlative Tire Tfie" toHoIe question of super-tire Is a matter of principle. For there la nothing exclusive in the industry. No patents, no secret formulas prevent a conscientious maker from build ing the best But cost and competition modify ideals. TEd Brunswick idea is io pay perfection's price and get it That has been the Brunswick policy since 1845. And it ac counts for the growing preference for Brunswick Tires. Motorists expect the utmost from a tire bearing the namq of Brunswick and get it You, too, will be convinced by your first Brunswick, that here is an extraordinary tire, and that more money cannot buy a better.
