At three o'clock this afternoon, Hepp ner's Chautauqua, consisting ot twelve excellent programs, opens In the big tent on K. of P. lot at west Main and lialllmure streets, the same place the Chautauqua waa held last year. The big tent arrived on Tuesday evening and the committee waa busy all day Wednesday and this forenoon In get ting It up, and now everything Is in readiness for six days of real enjoy ment and recreation. That the dates came this year just at harvest time is a circumstance the lo cal committee la not responsible for, and they regret that it could not be changed. However, as stated In these columns last week, this should not pre vent the harvesters from attending at least the evening sessions, and it Is the desire of the management that they do thla There will be no complaint whatever if you appear in harvest "duds" and you will be Just as welcome as though you were In your best. So drive In after the work of the day and enjoy the fine programs. A two million bushel wheat crop for Morrow county Is the conservative es timate made by the knowing ones, and from the reports this paper Is able to gather at the present from the outfits that are busy putting the grain In the sack, we believe this will be about tho figure to look for when the final estim ates are turned in. So far every field of grain is turning out better than was expected and the quality In nearly ev ery Instance is No. 1. FIRST CHRISTUM CHURCH.

MrSasser Bara at lone Burns. The barn on the farm of C. W. Mc Nanier right at the lower end ot lone was completely destroyed by fire on last Friday, and for a time it was a struggle to keep the fire from spread ing into town. A high wind waa blow ing and the barn was Boon reduced to ashen. In the meantime, flying embers started up a lire in the Tum-A-Lum yards and the livery barn was also ig nited and It kept the citliens of the little city very busy preventing a ser ious disaster. No stock or other prop erty of value on the McNamer place was destroyed but it looked for a while like the residence would be taken and it took some heroic work to save It Mr. McNamer was the victim of a fire about a year ago that destroyed the barn on the place, and he thinks now he will wait a while before putting up another. The barn was fully insured. William Thomson, merchant of Hepp ner registered at the Imperial, says thnt the new hotel In that town has been closed after only a few months ot glory. The explanation is that the people of Heppner eat and sleep at home; tho fanners are busy and are not cumlng to town, and there are very few commercial travelers making that 'ter ritory. There will be a big wheat crop In Morrow county, Mr. Thomson reports, and some ot the grain Is al ready under contract for 11.10 a bush el. Oregon Ian. Some ten cars of stock went out from the Heppner yards on Sunday for the Portland market. The shipment con sisted of cattle, two cars by Tury Pet slated of cattle, two cars by Ture Pet- of Hitter and one by B. F. Sorenson of Heppner; sheep, two cars by W. T.

J!,J fl III II FIELDS Tuesday evening a fire alarm was phoned to Lexington that Louis Mar quardt's grain field on the Base Line was on fire. Harvesting crews In the neighborhood, and several car load of fire fighters rom Lexington rushed to the scene. The fire started on the west side of an eighty acre field of Turkey red wheat A large V was burned across the 80 to an adjoining field of summerfallow where It was halted. Some 25 acres of standing grain waa burned and about forty sacks of thresh ed grain that was laying in the stub ble. Mr. Marquardt believes that the fire was started by a spark from the muffler on the gas engine of the har vester, as it was first discovered about twenty feet In the grain after they" had passed with the combine. The field was yielding about 20 bushela per acre, and the loss Is estimated at $600, with no Insurance. On Wednesday afternoon word came Into Heppner that there waa a fire in the field of grain on the Ktncald place In Blackhorse, belonging to W. B. Tucker, and a number of cars went out from here loaded with men to as sist in checking it. The fire started from some unknown cause In the bunchgrass along the side ot the field and was soon Into the grain. The grain on the place Is very heavy and there was a stiff wind blowing which urged the flames along and about thirty acres of the grain was destroyed before the (Ire was finally extinguished, and Mr. Tucker's loss will not be less than $1000. Word being sent out by telt- phone It was not long before assistance arrived from adjoining farms and from Heppner and Lexington. There Is much dry grass along the roads and lanes and people can not be too careful In throwing down lighted matches and cigar and cigarette stubs. A little thing may cause a great fire to spring up and no end of damage to standing grain be done. These parties are to be congratulated that they got off as well as they did. A day like yesterday was a bad one on the hills and the wind was strong enoagh that many harvest crews were compelled to lay off. He carried some Insurance. This Is the season of tho year when Chautauqua la In the thoughts of wide awake thinking men and women In practically every community In the Northwest. Just as we carefully choose our teachers for our schools, pastors for our churches, or the college or uni versity which we wish our children to attend, Just ns carefully should the question of Chautauqua service be con sidered. The new non-profit basis under which Ellison-White is now operating and the ruling of the Treasury Department thnt no war tax be collected from commit tees receiving Ellison-White service are facts which no community can af ford to overlook. Elllson-Whlto Chnutauquas have grown from one small circuit of 42 towns In 1 91 S to approximately eleven hundred assemblies In 1921, operating in 13 stntes, 4 Canadian provinces, Aus tralia and New Zealand. This expan sion gives them a buying power greater than any Chautauqua Bureau In the country today and Is the only Bureau In the West having access to the Affil iated list of talent. This exceptional growth hnB been brought about through consistent, con scientious and conservative "SERV ICE." lr. and Mrs. Fred E. Farrlor of thla city enjoyed a visit the past week from Lieutenant J. B. Farrlor, wife and daughter of Bremerton, Washington. Lieut. Farrlor, who Is In the service of Uncle Sam's navy on the Wyoming, departed on Saturday morning with his family and was to sail from Bremerton on Sunday going to the eastern coast via the ranama Canal. Dr. Farrlor greatly enjoyed the visit of his brother here at this time. Tom Hughes returned home Monday from Portland, wwhere he spent a cou ple of weeks on a vacntlon trip. Tom is now classed as one of the "merchant princes" of Heppner, by the party who writes up the news for the Oregonlan, In its "Those Who Come and do" col umn.

MIDSUMMER MADNESS Council Settles With Concrete Pipe Company At the mid-monthly meeting of the city council held on Monday evening, a final settlement was made with the Concrete Pipe company of Walla Walla, who put in that portion of the pipe line for the city water works. The company has been keeping up repairs to the line, and it was found that the provision of the contract that there should not be an eifcess of ten per cent seepage through the pipes at a certain period had been complied with, and the company were now entitled to the balance of their contract money. Another matter was the action of the council authorizing the county court to tender to the McHaley estate (250 and Lee Slocum 1400 as damages on ac count of the passing of the highway through their property near the head of Main street The impression seems to be that should these parties not ac cept thla offer, condemnation proceed ings will be instituted. E BEE FROM PROF. SCULLEN See that there is a new quen In the hive each year as young queen's mean vigorous colonies, old queens mean weak colonies with sluggish life. Select your queen brood from the best hive on your farm in order to build up Btrength. A good queen will lay from five to four thousand eggs a day, being nearly twice the weight of the queen herself. In order to get a new queen into an old hive go to the old hive and clean out all the brood and kill the queen, then go to the hive from which you wish to get your queen stock and take a frame of broods being sure that there are fresh eggs in the brood and take this to your old hive. If you have left your hive queenless for four or five hours you should have little difficulty in getting them to accept the new brood from which to ralBO a good queen. Do not allow your bees to swarm. This can be prevented by giving plenty of room in the brood nest. When you find that tho bees are thinking of swarming go into the hive and put on another frame and raise out a good large share of your brooder combs and put It in the upper section then place a full foundation sheet in the lower section giving the queen plenty of working room for a new stock. Always use full sheet foundation In your hive or use old combs. Full sheet foundation combs prevent the develop ment of drones in the hives, gives the bees less real work to do and makes more profitable bees. It requires two and one-half pounds of honey to grow a frame of five thou sand bees, therefore, since your bees must be produced Just before the honey flow In the spring of the year about June first you should have from twenty to twenty-five pounds of honey In the ordinary eight frame hive with a less amount of honey you will have a weak er bee colony. Remember that one good hive Is bet ter than three poor ones, Just as one good cow Is better than three poor oows. A good hive will have from seventy five to a hundred thousand bees during the honey working season. Plan to build your hive to this for the best honey flow. When fall comes on they should be reduced as they will by na ture, to fifteen thousand. Provide a shaded top In summer and some cheap shelter for winter. Combines are now running in the fields of E. M. Hulden, O. C. Wageman and Roy Misslldine of the Blackhorse section and a fine lot of grain Is being hnrvestcd. The machines have Just stnrted up and In n few days these men will be able to give a pretty close estimate of their yields. They will all have a lot of good quality grain to bring to the warehouse. Mr, and Mrs. Eph Eskelson, who have been living at Salem for the past two i years, are at Lexington for the Bum mer, Mrs. L. E. Davenport of Portland, 1 will arrive at Heppner this evening on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Capt. ' Cook. : INSPECTION OF FOREST 8E Portland, Oregon, July 19. E. N. Kavanagh, In charge of graxing in the forest service offices here, and graxing Inspector C. E. Rachford, trora Wash ington, D. C, left here on July 15. for six weeks inspection of the National Forest grazing ranges in Washington and Oregon. Their trip will take them through the cattle and sheep country of eastern Oregon and Washington, and has for its purpose gathering data on the ground regarding the actual value of" the forage resources of National Forest ranges. Mr. Rachford is making a general trip throughout the national forests of the West on a two-year study of this question of range valuation and now comes to the Pacific Northwest on a preliminary trip. The results it this whole study of range valuation of the Forest ranges has been promised to Congress by the Forester, Col. Greeley, and Mr. Kavanagh'a office will be re sponsible for this work as far as the Oregon and Washington Forests are concerned. Messrs. Rachford and Kavanagh will go first to the Rainier Forest, then through the Takima Indian Reserva tion Into the Wenatchee Forest on to the Methow and Okanogan valleys, to Spokane. From Spokane they will go to Pullman, Wash., to confer with men at the Washington State Agricultural college, then to Pendleton, and to the Oregon State Experiment station at Union. From Union they will proceed to the Whitman National Forest at Baker, then south to the John Day country on the Malheur Forest, then to the Ochoco, and Deschutes Forests, probably going as far as Lakevlew. Throughout the trip they will conte with representatives of the agricultural colleges of both states, with owners and agents of private range lands and representative stockmen In both states, the aim being to Inspect typical ranges and to secure the advice and sugges tions of Interested parties. The final ohject Mr. Kavanagh says, is to And the best method of determining the proper value in terms of the graxing fees of the forage resources of the na tional forests within the two states. retulleton is boosting for a north and south highway through Grant county that will connect up with that city, and recently a delegation of Pendleton bus iness men visited various points In Grant to survey the situation. They are urging Umatilla county to get busy on their end of the road, as they seem to have the assurance that Grant coun ty will spend all their market road money In perfecting a road to the Umatilla line. Pendleton fears that If they do not get very busy, this money will be spent In connecting up with Heppner, hence their manifest interest at this time. It is needless anxiety on the part of the live wires of Pendleton, for Heppner is asleep to this situation and will make no move to keep Pendle ton from getting what they are attei. At least we are led to this conclusion from the Indifference that exists here In regard to this Grant county trade. It is time for Heppner to wake up. J. W. Flasher and family arrived at Heppner yesterday from their home in Boise, Idaho, and will visit for a few days with Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Ball, the parents of Mrs. Flasher. They are on their way to Seattle where they for merly resided. Mr. Flasher was pastor of the Methodist church in this city a number of years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Bennett returned from a two weeks outing in the moun tains the last of the week, and Ed is again back on the Job In the grocery department of Minor & Co. He says he had a fine time and lota of good fishing. ' Robt. Carsner, the Spray stockman, was in Heppner from his Hardman ranch on Saturday. He is getting ready to make a shipment of sheep to the Portand market at the end of the week. Mel Humphreys, farmer and horse- raiser of Eight Mile was In the city to- day on business. Ho has been pretty busy putting up his hay crop the past two weeks. He will have little grain o thresh on his place this season as 8mRl1 "eage " " ' Win.

At a meeting held on July 11th at i the residence of Ingvard Pkoubo, an I der the direction of H. A. Scullen. sec- l retary of the Oregon Beekeepers asso ciation, the beekepers of Boardman and vicinity organised an association to be known as the Morrow County Bee keepers association. The following of' fleers were elected: Sylvester Atterber ry, president; Paul Smith, vice presi dent; C. H. Dillabaugh, secretary. treasurer. The annual dues were fixed at fifty cents, payable In advance. Ten Joined at the meeting but it waa decided to hold the charter list open for ten days to accommodate those beekeepers who were unable to attend or had not heard of a meeting blng called at the time and place. Mr. Scullen gave ua a very interest ing and instructive talk on beekeeping and answered such questions as only a novice in the business could think to ask. It was very evident from the questions asked that what we didn't know about beekeeping would make a pretty big book. While we were near ly all In the primer class of beekeepers, Mr. Sculien's discourse covered not on ly the A B C of bee culture, but also the X T Z of the profession. All beekeepers who wish to Join the association as charter members may send their name and fifty cents, annual dues, to me on or before July list and their names will be placed on the char ter list Don't delay longer than the 21st as Mr. Scullen wants a list of all members sent to him at about that time.

Ralph Boyd, James Keller, Ed ward Keller, Stanley Minor, visitor, who Is planning to become a Scout It was a delightful and profitable encampment and the boys were all models of propriety and obedience. They return keen for another similar experience. Dr. R. J. Vaughan, who has been spending a couple of weeks at Baker, looking after interests he has over that way, returned home Saturday. The hay crop In Baker county is Immense this season and should the farmers be able to get stock to feed it to, they stand in line to make some money. He is of the opinion, however, that Mor row county is facing much better times because of the big wheat crop and times will revive here much sooner than in the less fortunate sections of the state. Chris Brown Is busy running the header on his place about five miles out west of Heppner. He will thresh later. His neighbor, Henry Happold, is now threshing on his place but has not got along far enough to give an accurate estimate on his yield. Grain in that vicinity promises to go around thirty bushela Robert Buschke underwent an opera tion on Sunday from which he is now rapidly recovering, and which It is hoped will be the means of helping his general health. J. W. Becket who is helping with the preparations for harvest on his big Eight Mile farm, was in Heppner a short time yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. ltnca and family of Rhea creek were visitors In this city a short time yesterday. Tete Prophet, Hardman merchant wns down from his home town yester day after a truck load of merchandise. I! PURE SEED YIELD Prafennor Hyslua, O. A. C. Specialist Farm Crone, Makea survey af Wssnf f Connty and Tenders Hrnort. 1 G rallied wltk Imnraventtat Shawn, There is a marked improvement In the quality of Morrow county wheat this season over that ot a year ago. certified here last year proved more here last year proved more free from mixture than that brought In from thn outside and as it was widely used for seed the Bluestem quality will be bet ter this year. The improved certified Turkey haa held up In quality and the acreage haa increased. The season has been an un usually good one for Bluestem and Forty-fold but even with that there will be numerous changes to the cer tified Turkey-red. Nothing is more pronounced than the big improvement in Forty-fold. Ws do not recommend this variety for Morrow county but since the variety was In de mand clean seed was hunted op by Ore gon Agricultural college representa tives, certified, and broubht in by thn Farm Bureau. The fields of badly mix ed Forty-fold are being replaced by the purs seed. The next step forward will be to grow Turkey-red on the drier and thinner soil In the north end of the county and Hybrid 128 on the heavier and more moist soils. Experiment sta tion results show that Turkey-red and Hybrid 128 regularly outyleld Forty fold. Forty-fold suffers worse from dry weater than Turkey and shatters badly. Hybrid 128 Is a Uttle later than For ty-fold or Turkey and is therefore only suited to the deeper soils of the south end of the county. It does not shatter. It Is not a good variety for thin and dry soils. Without question Turkey-red Is ths best variety for the lighter soils and the middle to north end of county. Probably the greatest virtue of Forty-fold is that It Is a good hay wheat and usually produces a thin stand. Of the fields viewed this year In all sections of the county the one estimat ed as best was Carl Bergstrom's Tur key and as next best E. M. Hulden's Turkey-red and Hybrid 128. G. R. HTSLOP, O. A.

Warden Botkin Discusses Reme dies. The best minds of America have re cently been devoting a great deal of attention to the prevelancy of crime and seeking methods of prevention and cure for this National di.-ease. This year's Chautauqua brings one of the progressive public men of the country. Honorable J. D. llotkin who as warden of the Kansas Penitentiary has studied the matter first huud. The present orgy of bank hold ups gang murders, defaulting by officers of big concerns, sex crimes and oth ers have been variously charged to the after effects of the war, the pic turing of criminals In muvies, lapse in religion, Influx of undesirable for eigners, class hatred and many other causes. Mr. Botkin discusses the causes of crime as well as the rem edy for it. In this latter connection, such matters as delays in trial, avoid ance of punishment through techni calities, early pardons, capital pun ishment, prison reform and other re lated matters all receive attention. Mr. Botkin Is a ple;islug speaker as well as a close etudent of public af fairs and a public nun of prominence. He will address the Chautauqua on the last afternoon. It is in the Information supplied by Chautauqua on great uueatlouH and the inspiration to better living that the Chautauqua has come to be con sidered the great American open forum. It Is a duty of all patriotic citizens to hear such men as Warden Botkin. However, In his case, It la a pleasure aa well. Nothing Is more gripping than the stories of men woo have "gone wrong" and refonueii. jk. v. yNjw f-' V '- )
