Flummer, western land agent of the Northern Pacific railroad com pany, with onVes at Taeoma, Wn was in Heppner over Tuesday night, at tending a meeting of the landowners ot the John Day district. The N. p. has a very large amount of land coming within tne boundaries of this irriga tion project, and they are interested Just at present In the taxation prob lem facing these landowriers. Frank PhSvely, Utmhw, has now become a dairyman and farmer, Join ing Widge Whetstone in taking over the Whetstone alfalfa and dairy farm Just below Lexington and known as the Summer place. Frank is a good horseshoer and knows the game well; as a dairyman, it remains to be seen how he will come out. From what In formation we have we gather that Frank lias learned by this time which side a cow Is to be milked on and that a cream separator Is not a churn. The old timer, Ed Kellar, has taken Mr. Khively's place as horseshoer In the Kenvner shop. Mr. Lay-ton, who has charge of the Joa.

The stock is said to be in fine shape and It Is hoped that it may be sold now on a t f sis that will help Mr. Uurgoyne over his present difficulties and save to him his milling and warehouse business whhh he has put in many hard years In building up. The report that Mr. Hurgoyne had taken advantage of the bankruptcy law is erroneous. Torn Johnson received word yesterday morning of the death of his father, Henry Johnson at Salem, Tuesday even ing.

He fol-lo-ved carpentry all his life and pur sued his trade up until last October, when members of his family prevailed upon him to retire. Like so many men of his type, Idleness was Irksome to lilm nnd when his condition became such that he could no longer follow his trade he felt there was no more Inter est In life for him.

Dated at Heppner, Oregon, this 26th day of February. 1921. 3m3 Henry Stender, Wide Palmateer and Oeo. A. Miller were among Morgan and Cecil residents in Heppner over Tues day night. These men are land owners in the John Day district George Darveau. prominent hotelman of Pendleton and owner of the St. George hotel In that city, died on Sun day morning. He had been a resident of Pendleton since 1SS3 and was aged t!9 years. He was a sufferer from dropsy. A l.undie.i nun of Heppner town. Some t were learned, some less re nowned, In clothes their best, and shaven face. Assembled at Put Foley s place; or ".liimniers place." I meant to say At least some use the term that way To sup their tea and listen well To those who had a tale to tell, Kelatmg to the things we need In other words to sow the seed of thrift, ambition, progress, pride In short to try and turn the tide of slothfulness and selfish ways That's lashed our shores for many days. The "Proiherood '. you know the name. Which now has reached a point of fame. Appointed, by our chairman James, A few I need not mention names Most fluent speakers of the bunch. To speak their thoughts Just after lunch, Regarding things we should Install Most beneficial; rive in all. The oratory sure was great; And eloquence, oh my but wait, Pefore I tell of speakers grand And praise the splendid Heppner band. I want to speak of Jimmie Hart And tell how well he played his part. Assisted by his girls and cook He served w ithout a hitch or crook A lunch befitting for a king, A duke or any other thing. To say the least, the lunch was grand. And savored with the Heppner band It placed each patron in a mood That banished thoughts that might be rude. In fact we felt prepared, by gory, To drink the flood of oratory That doled out freely in the wake of Jimmie Hart's ice cream and cake. One speaker told how very much We needed playgrounds, games and such, To make our girls and boys strong. Indeed they said 'twould not be long Until they're called to take our place And thus prolong the human race. With eloquence one told of roads Devoid of shape to handle loads. "And right here at our city's door," The speaker shouted with a roar, "Why not use a split-log drag And till each rut and little swag And let our neighbors come and see The self-imprisoned mortals, we." He told of a neighbor town close by That will not yet consent to die. That knows no lagging in the game But works to glorify its name. "And then the Umatilla dam Should have support from Uncle Sam." He said, "we all should boost and boost Until his wallet strings are loosed." These things and many, many more Were urged by those who had the floor. 'Twill not be long, I'm very sure Until the ills we now endure, And which for ages in the past Have made the stranger stand aghast, Will vanish quickly, one by one, Like snow-flakes in the noon-day sun, When you, the patient, will be good And yield to Doc, the Brotnorhood. Shirt Cuff News and Facts. When you visit Washington these days you hear much more about the farms than formerly. We presume1 that this is because of the activity of: the farm organizations and the in-; creasing importance of the Depart-; ment of Agriculture. Anyway, a re- ' porter for the National Editorial Ser- i vice in which this newspaper is a : franchise member, jotted down some j facts and news on his shirt cuff that came to him by chance during a day: spent in Washington. Here they are:! American farmers own 200,000 i automobiles. j "L'ltraclay" is the name of a new: substance found in soil by scientists. ; Department of Agriculture is sus picious of clover seed imported this! winter. j Agricultural Department has dis- covered the cause of "root rot'' in ! corn. S Sugar substitutes, like dextrose. ; will be allowed in curing hams and: bacon. j Uncle Sam has eight million farms ; about one-third of which are over 100 acres. j The farmers have over 21, 000,000 ' horses. j Bureau of soils has now surveyed one-third of the United States. Agricultural Department is about j ready to announce a method of sav- j ing fruit and vegetables on railroad cars from freezing. Rhode Island lost one-third of its farms in the last ten years. Perhaps all these facts are not news to farmers but we'll bet most of them are. Shrlners Will Banquet. The members of the Mystic Shrine re siding in and around Heppner, will ga ther around the banquet board at th hotel on March 11th. All visiting Shriners as well as all those resident in this vicinity will be made welcome at this feed, and those interested should see Ralph Crego for reservations.
