"Human Collateral," Feature
Film At Star Theatre Tonight
What Is the market value of a
bride who Is beautiful, cultured anu
possessed of the highest social stand
ing? Vitugraph's feature plcture:
"Human Collateral," sets the price at
over $1,000,000. This picture, with
Corlnnn Grilllth In the stellar role,
twill be shown at the Star theater to
night. Miss Griffith plays the role ot a
beautiful society girl, the daughter
of Stephen Langdon, a Wall street
operator. Langdon falls Into severe
financial difficulties and Is compelled
to negotlute a huge loan from Rod
erick Duncan, who happens to be
virtually engaged to wed Patricia.
Langdon informs Duncan that he
should hesitate to ask for such a
large loan unsecured and Bubject to
the chance of loss unless he thought
Duncan was to wed IiIb daughter. In
the latter case the loan would be a
family mutter, he remarks.
Patricia, learning of the proposed
loan, assumes that she Is being trans
ferred as human collateral for the
money. She conceives the Idea of hu
miliating the two men for their ap
parent sordldnesa by making her en
gagement to Duncan a legal money
transaction. As the proceeding pro
gresses it Is made apparent that the
girl Is accepted as having a literal
value of more than $1,000,000,
The contract Is drawn up legally
transferring her to Duncan In ex
change for the loan. This brings
about a remarkably dramatic climax.

WHJJJTTA MAE GRIFFIN
Wllletta Mae Griffin, wife of Fred
M. Griffin of Gooseberry, passed away
at the Griffin home on Monday morn
ing. Mrs. Griffin had been a sufferer
trout tuberculosis for many months,
and only a short time ago returned to
her home after a long course of
treatments at a sanatorium in Port
land. She was aged 20 years, 11
months and 22 days.
Wllletta Mae Potter Iwas a daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Potter and
was born in Lexington this county,
July 14, 1899. Practically all of her
life was spent In Morrow and Wheelei
counties.
She was married in Heppner on
September 14, 1917. Mrs. Griffin
was a graduate of the Heppner high
school in the commercial department
and leaves many school mates In this
city who mourn her untimely death.
Through her sunny disposition and
true worth she made friends 'wher
ever she went, and the world waB
made better by her having lived, tho
her life was cut short in early wo
manhood. Mrs. Griffin was also a
member of the First Christian church
of this city.
The f uueral Iwas held from the lone
Christian church on Wednesday af
ternoon and Interment took place in
the cemetery there. The surviving
relatives, beside the husband are her
mother, Mrs. Robert Mcintosh of Con
don, one sister, Mrs. R. C. Lapthorn
of Heppner and three brothers, Oliver
of Heppner, Lee of California and
Llnley, who has made his home for
the last three years with Mr. and
Mrs. Griffin.
Henry Happold Buys Wheat Ranch
Henry Happold, formerly In the
meal market business In this city, has
bought the 440 acre wheat ranch
known as the Myers place and situ
ated five miles west ot Heppner, from
John F. Vaughn. The price paid was
fifty dollars per acre. Mr. Happold
was formerly engaged in farming in
Sherman county, where he met 'with
success. He does not take posses
sion until fall. Mr. Vaughn retains
the crop. The deal was handled by
Ray M. Oviatt, local realty dealer.
FARMERS riX SCALE OF
I
On the 26th of June the executive
committee of the Farm Bureau, the
labor committee ot t lie Farm Bureau
and the sheep meu's committee met
iu the council chambers to consider
several matters of niutrul interest,
i ne referendum from northern Mor
row county Farm Bureaus that the
county vole a special tux to destroy
the rabbit pest in the northern part
of the county was taken up and con
sidered. At the suggeslion of the
executive committee of the Furni Bu
reau the motion was made that the
rubbit and coyote be combined and
that a fund he raised for payment ol
purl ot the salary for a government
trapper und that the Federal gov
ernment be asked to pay the other
halt of the salary so that the sheep
men would not be burdened with the
enure cost of eradicating the coyote,
und iv. it li this amendment it was fi
lially voted that an effort be made
to secure the placing upon the bal
lot this full ot a measure calling for
about one-half a mill which would
raise approximately $7000 to be plac
ed in a fuud called the eradication of
ounty pests, such as rabbits, coyotes,
and squirrels. This seemed to meet
with the unanimous approval ot all
those present.
Under the consideration of a scale
of wages it was brought out that a
great many farmers have in the past
had very satisfactory results in em
ploying harvest men at the same scale
of wages. Loaders, box-drivers, and
stackers being paid the same wages.
it 'was llnully moved and curried that
this should be followed during this
season and after considerable dis
cussion of the scale of wages it was
unanimously voted to pay this class
of work $5.00 per day. This agrees
exactly Iwith the scales of wages paid
in Shermun county. This is the first
lime that Morrow ounty has paid as
high a wage as Sherman county In
some years. The labor situation
seems to be very much Improved over
what It promised to be sixty days ago.
We believe with several saw-mills
and logging camps closlpg down for
the summer or at least curtailing pro
duction and the vast amount of labor
which is floating about the country
that there will be no difficulty to se
cure all the help necessary for hai
vest. It Is hoped that the farmers
will hold as close to this stabilization
of Iwages as possible as there Is ho
occasion for farmers here paying a
higher price than that paid in the
neighboring county and if every body
will hold to this wage scale It will
make conditions generally more sat
isfactory. The bidding against one
another among farmers for help does
not make Any more harvest hands.

JUST SHYING A BIT
&hT J
f - t , ii i " "
WILL HAVE BIG
T YIELD THIS YEAR
Portland Market Editor Finds Heal
thy Condition In Farming Setions
Believes Price Will Continue
High.
"As tar as I have seen on my pres
ent trip," says Hyman H. Cohen, mar
ket editor of tfte Oregon Journal of
Portland, "Oregon twill this season
have nothing whatever to complain
of so far as grain production is con
cerned." While there is a generally reduced
area in grain this season, he says, the
prospects are sufficiently improved
over the normal to insure a very big
crop. This is true only of wheat.
Oats and barley crops will be some
what curtailed from the normal be
cause In both of these lines the acre
age If greatly reduced.
Wheat growers will have no com
plaint whatever regarding the prices
they rail receive this season fo there
is every prospect at this time that
prices will be as high, if not higher
than a year ago.
Contracting Resumed
Contracting has again been resum
ed In some sections of the state but
there Is a great difference of opinion
among buyers as to what stock should
bring. This Is due to the fact that as
yet there is practically no establish
ed murket for grain futures but with
the reopening of trade on the var
ious grain exchanges of the country,
this matter will be quickly settled.
Because of the shortage In probable
production of both oats and barley it
is anticipated that unusually good
prices will rule this season in both of
these grains.
Hay prices appear to have reached
the top and there Is more Indication
of lower values for the rest of the sea
son, than still higher ones. j
Livestock shows good condition in
the state generally. The abundance
of rains has put the range in excellent
condition and In most sections the
cattle are fatter than normal.
Bags to Sell Reasonable
"Wheat grohvers are now assured
of getting their grain bags at proper
prices," concluded Mr. Cohen. "For
a time It looked as if the Japanese
British combine would force values to
almost prohibitive figures but the re
cent agitation ngalnst the combine to
gether with the financial stringency
in their stock for Bale at more reas
onable figures than they hud fondly
expected to secure."

GAGING STATIONS ARE
l-'loiv of Stream Measured For Great
J.ilm Day Project Field Work of
ICmzineers Is Now Under Way.
At a meeting of the board of di
rectors of the John Day Irrigation
District In Heppner on Tuesday, July
tilh, John 11. Lewis, engineer for the
District was present and reported
that three gaging stations have been
established on the John Day river
and daily observations are now being
made of the flow of the river at Clar
uo, also on the main river and South
Fork, at the proposed reservoir sile
near Dayvilie.
Now that the District has been
formed on the basis of a high line
canal, the amount of iwater available
for reclamation is one of the most
important factors in the new plan
now in course of preparation, and
these measurements are necessary.
During the past week, H. B.
Schmiiiky has been working at the
county court house on a present own
ership map. He goes from here to
Pendleton and Condon, and also to
the land offices at The Dalles and La

begin his field work until Mr. Dillard
lias had an opportunity of thoroughly
going over Hie various possible routes
suggested by .Mr. Lewis aud the most
feasible route for the line has been
selected.
During the past month Mr. Leiwls
has spent considerable time in the
field so as to properly direct the var

who have been employed by the board
of directors to prepare engineering
plans and estimates of costs to be
used as a basis for financing and
building the project.

SUBSCRIBER TELLS OE
TRIP OVERRITTER ROAD
lilor Gazette-Times:
iu the lust current number of your
paper you announced the Interest of
ilia Heppner Commercial Club in the
opening ot the new grade built to the
urant county line from Heppner, and
ii is presumed others are interested,
therefore it might be well to publish
through the columns ot your paper
tiie following information concerning
the opening ot same and the condi
tions one Iwiil find In traveling be
tween these two points.
The official "Pathfinder" of Mor
row county, which we will refer to
as car No. 1, to pass over the road,
was piloted by the County Roadmas
ler, and car No. 2, which was the
standard Oil Co. car, was presided
oer by Air. uliiholland, who had tak
en the job as supply man, and so well
did he perform his duties ot supply
ing the cars with gasoline and oil
that all curs making the trip to
Kitier from Heppner and return were
supplied and the supply is not yet ex
hausted but was left at two different
stations between here and there for
future use.
Cars No. 1 and 2 left promptly on
scheduled time, 9 a. m. Saturday
morning, July 3, 1920, making no
slops between here and the summit
at Ditch Creek, where an hour and a
half was spent in a most pleasant
manner disposing of the dinner pre
pared by the official cook tor the oc
casion. The next stop was made at
Three Mile canyon schoolhouse,
where the neighborhood was cele
brating on this day so as to be pre
sent at the Ritter celebration the fol
lowing day. The cars were quickly
surrounded and the delegation in
troduced to every one present and
were deeply impressed with the man
ifest interest and words of apprecia
tion expressed, by most every one
present, of the occasion of the open
ing of this splendid road in Morrow
county, and as the delegation depart
ed they were assured all would be
in Ritter the next day to boost tor
"as good or better road" on the
Grant county end ot same.
The next stop Iwas made on the
grade leading out ot the North Fork
of the John Day, 12 5-10 miles from
Ritter where a reading of the grade
was taken by the official Engineer of
the party. This grade proved to be
the steepest going from Heppner to
Hitter and was slightly over 21 per
cent. The next stop was in front of
the hotel in Ritter, a distance of 55.5
miles from the First National Bank
in Heppner, which distance will be
shortened about seven miles when
the nehv grade is completed in Grant
county.
The orator of the day, at Ritter,
called for information which no man
dare dispute, concerning the road be
tween Ritter and Heppner telling the
following story as illustrative: "The
Judge was pressing the witness about
'heresay testimony' and remarked,
'We must have evidence which no
man dare dispute.' 'That is what I
am giving you," said the Iwitness,
'My mother-in-law told me this. "
The speaker asked, "How far is it
irom Kilter to iong ireea:
Answer from audience, "lo miles.
(No one disputed it.)
"How far from Long Creek to
Monument?"
Answer, 22 miles.
"How far from there to Heppner
on old road?"
i, miles.
"How far from Ritter to Heppner
over nefw gradi, when the new grade
is completed in Grant county?"
Answer, 4S miles. (No one dis
puted it.)
"How far from Ritter to Pendleton
over the new grade now building?"
Answer, 84 and 1-10 miles.
On the return trip the "LOG" kept
by the official statistician and record
ed as the clinometer was read to him,
shows tiwo grades coming this way
from Ritter to be 21 per cent. And
as we met sick people on their way
to Ritter from Heppner in a car, who
asked about the road, we told them
if their car was working twell they
would perhaps have no trouble as
these hills are solid but steep, but
if a car is not iworking well you had
better not try It with people who
could not walk if helped out of the
car.

Saw Mill Man and Game War
den Meet Account Saw Dust
W. G. Moore, the enterprising saw
mill man of upper Willow creek has
been turning out a lot of lumber and
as a tesult, the saw dust pile drifted
down to the edge ot the creek. Mr.
Moore !was arrested on Tuesday by
deputy game warden, W. L. Matteson
on a charge of banking a large quan
tity jf saw dust along the creek. He
was taken before Judge Cornett and
was instructed to remove the saw
dust so that it would not get into the
creek when the high Iwater comes.
Mr. Moore said he would be glad to
comply with the request.
(By L. A. Hunt.)
In company with Professor Hyslop
of the Department of Agriculture,
members of the executive committee
of the Morrow County Farm Bureau
and prominent farmers ot the county
made the trip to Sherman county last
week in company with the County
Agent to study crop conditions in
Gilliam, Sherman and Morrow coun
ties. The grain in the south part of
.Morrow county is looking quite well
and the prospects around Condon are
exceptionally good. The favorite
varieties around Condon are forty
ioid and early baart, no turkey red
being raised as far south as Condon
that was observed.
One thing that struck all members
of the tour was the striking differ
ence between the type of torty-fold,
which had been imported from Union
county last year, and that which was
grown locally. The local forty-fold
compares with the forty fold in Sher
man county and that in Morrow coun
ty and none of it is anything like as
good as the forty-fold which has been
shipped in. The imported forty-told
has a large, well squared tip and ta
pers down toward the straw, while
the local variety tapers from the
straw towards the tip. In this con
nection it is worth while to say that
the Farm Bureau has arranged with
Professor Hyslop to make a special
trip into the Condon country to cer
tify the best field in that section with
the idea that the farmers in the south
part ot Morrow county twill be able
to secure torn the neighboring county
a splendid supply of seed wheat. Con
tinuing through the Ajax country it
was observed that several farmers in
that vicinity were experimenting with
tukey red and forty-fold. The distinc
tion in this neigrborhood was quite
close although probably the turkey
was a little in the lead. The Farm
Bureau committee (was especially in
terested in observing if possible the
growth of turkey on the heavy soil
and an examination was made ot
forty-fold and turkey growing side
by side around Grass Valley up as
far south as Kent, but in nine cases
out of ten the turkey wheat undent
ably was ahead ot the forty-fold
Whether that would be true in Mor
row couuty Iwe cannot say absolutely
although where ever we have turkey
growing side by side with blue stem
apparently turkey Is a little bit in
the lead. The territory around Grass
Valley and Kent has heretofore been
considered strictly forty-fold terri
tory and the fact that it is being in
vaded by the turkey wheat speaks
well for the continuation of turkey
wheat in Morrow county. One thing
is quite certain, the tamers in Sher
man county know better how to han
dle turkey wheat than many farmers
In Morrow county have yet learnea
because it Is a wheat that requires
particular handling. It was observed
by all members of the tour that the
farmers In Sherman county had
uniform stand of grain and that the

est ride of tne entire contest was
made by Shields when he rode to a

the bucking proclivities of thia ani

Foot races proved a drawing card,
every town and hamlet for milen

there and ready to back him against
all comers. The prettiest race of
them all was between Shields ot Mon

distance was fifty yards and Shields
won by a scant foot.
There was dancing eacn evening,
with delightful music by the Leath

vailed on the floor, although there
were times when some disorder was
going on outside. Things did quiet
down though, after the arrival ot
Sheriff McDuftee. Seems as though
we are still living in the frontier.
At Lexington, twhere the crowd was
not so large, a good time is reported.
The ball game in the morning be
tween Heppner and Lexington was
won by Heppner.
A number of local people went to
Lehman Springs, while many others
were at Ditch creek and the camping
grounds of upper Willow creek. But
a taw went to Ritter.
It seems like mxny Americans are
losing sight of the real nature ot the
occasion. It is a fact, that tnero U a
good chance for future generations
losing sight entirely of the great pur
pose of the Fourth of July. How
many of them will know that it is a
celebration of the Declaration of In
dependence of the original thirteen
colonies and spelled the freedom for
these United States of America.
Surely they will not get it through
the education ot base ball, bucking
contests and like sports. Why, these
latter day observances of the 4th of
July have been staged with never a
suggestion as to the real purpose of
the day. It has been said that the
future safety of the country depends
upon the teaching of the doctrine ot
a good sound Americanism. Our pre
sent day methods of celebrating do
anything but bring out such a doc
trine. Seems to us ike a good time
to change the order, or at least begin
to work in some of the primary fea
tures ot the old time observance of
the day.
