n nd their four leaders snt down to
this spread, and for ench of these there
was a member of the Broth! hoeod. anil

In a songfest nnd put everybody in the
best nf humor. The football boys were
cnlled upon to glvo some of their rea
sons for playing the game, and there
were several responses from members
of the visiting team from Hermlston
atid the local fellows, and there wore
yells and toasts to Heppner and the
Brotherhood, and to the various visit
Ing delegations. With their big bunch
of delegates, Hermlston made a fine
line-up at the table, and they main
tained their reputation of being good
sports by eating everything that was
placed before them, and the Heppner
bunch were close seconds at this game.
J. W. Heard, principal of Heppner
school and J. W. Palmer were the main
speakers on tho program, the former
delivering a fine address on "The Value
of Friendship," nnd the latter on "The
Price of Friendship." Mr. Palmer also

humorous recitations, proving himself
to be an entertainer supreme.
Saturday afternoon there was
short session of the conference at the
church and then the recreation hour
when tho hoys all hiked to Gentry Field
to take In the football game between
Heppner nnd Hermlston high school
teams.

the hay Is not quite so plentiful, as
well as furnishing a market for some
of the surplus sheep.

It is not the time for spring fights,
but there was a little something doing
in this line on the streets of Heppner
Tuesday when a couple of young Irish-1
men came to blows. The rumpus start- i
ed in the lobby of the Patrick hotel and
ended in the street, one of the belliger
ants being taken in charge by Sheriff
McDuffee. There was considerable evi
dence that this young fellow had more
than he needed of a poor quality of
moonshine, and the sheriff gave him
time to cool off and sober up. Judge
Cornett administered a little salve in
the way of a fine and costs for assault
and battery, to which the young man
plead guilty.
Jus. Ayers of Kcho and Mr. and Mrs.
Ileii Coxen of I'ine City were- visitors
In Heppner on Tuesday. Mr. Ayers has

BITTER MEN HERE TO
IK ROAD MATTERS
A delegation of Ritter citizens, who
live along the line of the road from
Ritter to Heppner. were In this city
during the week, to talk over the sit
uation with our county court as well
as other citizens of the community
These men were Tom Marlatt W. P.
Anthony and Andrew Eckling, each of
whom owns a ranch this side of Ritter.
They are much Interested in the com
pletion of the Heppner-Ritter road,
especially that portion lying between
the middle and north forks of the John
Day river, and which now appears to
be tied up owing to a disagreement of
the settlers there as to. where the road
should be permanentlty located.
It seemed to be agreed by these gen
tlemen that it was necessary to have
some diplomatic work done, and that
it was better ot have Borne disinterest
ed parties come in and settle the loca
tion of the road, and to this end County
Road Mastr McCeleb may be Instruct
ed to take hold of the work and get
that portion of the Heppner-Ritter road
difficulty settled.
These gentlemen are well pleased
with the Morrow county end of the
road, and it Is generally understood
that Just as soon as the location of the
! road In dispute Is settled, the Grant
county portion will be completed and
the people over that way. will then be
able to get out to Heppner much more
easily than at present.

IF YOU MUST BET,
BE A GOOD SPORT
October 17. 1921.
Editor The Gazette-Times,
Sir: Without arguing the moral
phase of betting on the results of high
school football games the writer wishes
to say a word regarding the spirit In
which wagers are made.
Some betting seems to be Inevitable
under present conditions altho lead
ing coaches everywhere are urging
the discontinuance of the practice. If
local partisans place their bets on the
local high school team In a spirit of
loyalty let them be assured that the
loyalty is appreciated. Or If they put
up their money In true gambling spirit
which includes a willingness to bear
losses cheerfully, there can be little
complaint. If on the other hand they
bet on the team with a feeling that
their money is safe because of a for
tunate string of victories In the past
there Is need of a warning. High
school boys of fifteen, sixteen and sev
enteen years of age of which the local
team is largely made up are apt to be
unsteady at times and there Is a limit
to their physical powers. To bet on
the outcome of the game and then to
call the team a set of "pikers" because
they fall to win Is an Injustice. There
s considerable gameness and pluck In
the members of the squad and ordin
arily they will come close to giving the
best that Is In them. Betting on the
outcome of their efforts should be made
In a willingness to lose without harsh
feeling towards anyone.
Tours truly,
JOHN W. HEARD, Coach.

Dobyns Is A Bear Killer;
Not Simply A Bear Hunter
Demonstrating his ability as a bear
killer, rather than a bear hunter, simp
ly, Harold Dobyns la given the follow
Ing little mention In the Portland
Journal, issue of October 4th;
Harold Dobyns Is one of the star
bear hunters of the United States bio
logical survey s predatory animal de
partment. When Dobyns hears a black
bear has been killing sheep, he doesn't
go to hunt the bear, says Stanley Jew
ett head of the department; he goes
and kills the bear. Dobyns most re
cent catch was "the biggest black bear
ever seen," according to residents of
the Black mountain region in the Uma
tilla country. It had been killing sheep
owned by Frank Sloan for three years
and previous attempts to capture the
animal had failed.
Having killed his bear, Dobyns kill
ed another one about as large. Word
received today told of his going to
Meacham to kill two more.

dise, a booth full of fresh homemade
candy and old time refreshments.
A big crowd Is expected. Everybody

Bankers f the City to Hfl Plnanr

OMMNIO. Marketing Aaaarlatloa Has
Meeting Here.
There was a meeting of the officers
and members of the Oregon Coopera
tive Grain Growers association in
Heppner on last Saturday afternoon,
which was attended by about 75 of the
farmers in this vicinity and others who
are interested in the organisation. The
meeting was somewhat In the natutt
of an accounting of officers to members,
and there was a report from headquar
ters of what had been done so far, as
well as the answering of numerous
questions and the setting right the po
sition of the association regarding a
few rumors that had been current not
only in Morrow county but elsewhere
as well.
Opcers of the association present
were Edgar L. Ludwlck, assistant sec
retary-treasurer; C. A. Marsh, director
and member of selling agency; V. A.
Smith and Howard Anderson, directors,
and H. O. Barnes, field man for Eastern
Oregon.
One piece of Information that was of
very material Interest to those who
have disposed of their wheat through
the association was the statement that
the Portland Clearing House had
agreed to advance to the association
S 1.000.000 for their marketing plans,
which action on the part of the Port
land bankers will place the association
on a firm basis.
The question of financing the very
large amount of grain that the asso
ciation has had to handle, was very se
rious and seemed almost an Impossi
bility for a time, according to ons of
the speakers. Some help was secured
from the War Finance Board, but
much difficulty was met with her ow
ing to the bad warehouse system In
vogue throughout the northwest.
Warehouse receipts not coming from
bonded warehouses would not be ac
cepted as collateral, hence the associa
tion was forced to ask for the individ
ual notes of the growers, and had sent
forth their requests accordingly. These
notes did not arrive very fast as the
farmers did not seem willing to go this
far. However, developments later
made It unnecessary to use the notes
and they are being returned.
A distribution of $1,800,000 has al
ready been made by the association to
farmers in advance payments. The as
socaltton has a membership of 1400 In
Oregon and about one-fourth of the
crop of the state is signed up with the
association. The states of Oregon, Ida
ho, Washington and Montana, which
form the northwest association, will
handle about 16,000,000 bushels thru
their selling agency which has Its of
fice at Spokane.
Other items of Interest and Informa
tion brought forth at the meeting In
cluded the paying of a salary to Mr.
Jewett sales manager, of 115,000 per
year; the operating cost of approxi
mately 2hi cents per bushel, one and
one-half cents of which goes Into the
operating expenses of the Oregon of
fice and the balance into the selling
agency; there are 11 people employed
in the Portland office as clerks and
bookkeepers. The association does not
export Its own wheat because the as
sociation has no foreign office and the
expense of creating such an office at
the present time Is too great for the
benefits to be derived. Some mistakes
have been made from the Portland of
fice but these are promptly rectified. It
was explained, and the office of the
association is being rapidly placed on
a basis of a complete organisation.
Anyone having any complaints to
make should take the questiton up at
once with the office at Portland. As
Mr. Smith explained, it is the wheat
growers' association, not the associa
tion of the officers and directors, for
they are only the servants to heed the
bidding of those who have placed them
at the head of affairs.
We would gather from what was
stated that this first year of the asso-
iation has proved a success, and from
now on there is going to be much
smoother sailing, and when the year's
work is finally wound up it will be
fount! that each member of the asso
ciation has received the very best price
for his grain that It was possible to
get.
