SET FOR IMP
Dale Tentatively Selected. Groyndi
Beinr Po I" Shape and Grandetand
Will Be Built. Many Entertainment
Features Planned.
The date for Heppner'a big round-up
haa been tentatively selected, being the
last week in September, immediately fol
lowing the big show in Pendleton. It is
expected that many of the outlawa from
the Umatilla city will be present to test
the skill and landing ability of the local
riders.
Gentry Field has been surveyed for
the track and the work of putting in the
fences, corrals and seats will commence
soon, the committee only waiting for the
lumber with which to do the work. They
will be assisted in this by Mr. Swlsler,
of Pendleton, an authority on the ar
rangements of grounds for a show of
this kind. Mr. Swisler is the man who
furnishes all of the horses for the fa
mous wild horse race at Pendleton and
has been connected with that big show
since its inception. The committee ex
pects to put in comfortable seats with
room for a large crowd.
A good many outside people have writ
ten asking for concessions, but it is the
policy of the committee to have all the
entertainment features as nearly local
in nature as Is possible. In speaking of
this phase, Mr. McNamer, chairman, said
that it is intended to have a local show,
and that they were of the opinion that
local people should receive whatever
benefits there may be from furnishing
entertainment. Arrangements ore being
made for a big '49 dance at the fair
pavilion, at which amusements to suit
all tastes will be furnished. This will
not be anything like the traveling '49
show and dance, but will be strictly
clean entertainment, although informal
in nature.
The committee is in correspondence
with several bands and expect to have
the best music of this kind obtainable.
All in all, as things are now shaping
up, it appears that Heppner will have a
round-up second only to the famous
Pendleton show, and since it will be
much more local In its nature it should
furnish better entertainment even than
the Pendleton Round-Up.
A big snake, killed in an irrigating
ditch below town this morning, has been
the cause of a great deal of discussion.
Some of its viewers claim it is a Black
snake, while others believe it to be only
a garter snake grown to unusual -proportions.
Others frankly admit they do
not know what kind of reptile it is.
The theory is that it escaped from the
circus which was here some time ago,
and took up its abode in the ditch near
by. Whatever its breed, it has been
quite a curiosity.
A. M. Edwards, Lexington well driller,
was in town yesterday. Mr. Edwards re
cently completed a well on the M. S. Cor
rigall place on Butter creek, getting a
strong Sow of water at a depth of 170
feet. He started after an artesian well,
but was able to bring the water only to
within four and one-half feet of the top.
Since completing this well, Mr. Edwards
has been working in harvest
Morrow Pioneer Dies at Brownsville.
Word was received by George Sperry
Tuesday to the effect that J. B. Sperry,
former Morrow county resident, died at
Brownsville at 1 o'clock that day.

Strong Moonshine Brings
Fine and Jail Sentence
In spite of recent reports that Ore
gon moonshine is getting better and
nearly approaches the real article In
quality, it still seems to have a vicious
"kick" and a little of it goes a long wny.
At least that would apparently be the
conclusion of one James Canoy, who was
brought up before Judge Cornett Mon
day and fined (15 and ten days in jail.
The jail sentence was suspended. The
charge against Canoy was drunkenes,
he being found sitting in his car on the
Willow creek road, dead to the world be
cause of only one drink of moonshine, an
almost full bottle of which was found in
his pocket.
Canoy, an elderly man from the Will
amette valley, had come here looking
for a job running a truck, but finding
none, he was ready to return home. He
claimed he had purchased the shine from
a fellow whom he met on the road Sun
day, and the court, in passing sentence
expressed regret that the vendor was not
caught, also.

Total Wheat Crop
Twelve Million Less
August Government Estimate Places
Yield at 12,000,00 Bushels Less
Than la July.
The government crop report of yes
terday reduces the estimate of the Uni
ted States wheat crop to 805100,000 bu
shelsa falling off of 12,000,000 bushels
from the July estimate.
The winter wheat crop Is placed at
542,000.000 and apring wheat at 263,000,
000. The unfavorable weather in the
northwest during July, is responsible
for the reduction in the estimate.
The corn crop estimate, on account
of favorable growing conditions in the
corn belt during July, is 157,000,000 lar
ger than the report of July 1. The total
corn crop is now estimated at three bil
lion bushels. The influence of the wea
ther during July on other crops is shown i
in the following increases in the govern
ment estimates for August:
Spring wheat showed an increase in
its production forecasts amounting to
15,000,000 bushels; oats, 64,000,000 bu
shels; white potatoes, 11,000,000 bushels;
barley, 10,000,000 bushels; tobacco, 10,
000,000 pounds; apples, 12,000,000 bush
els and peaches 1,700,000 bushels.
The great corn crop made vast im
provement during July in the leading
producing states, the improvement in
Kansas having been 30,000,000 bushels
over the July forecast; Missouri's 25,
000,000 bushels; Illinois, 25,000,000 and
Nebraska 17,000,000.
The forecast of the production of
spring wheat in some of the chief wheat
producing states is given as follows:
State Bushels.
Minnesota 31,194,000
North Dakota 103,153,000
South Dakota 36,140,000
Montana 36,236,000

Forester Informs Public on
Forest Road Construction
District Forester Geo. H. Cecil has
just made public the list of the major
national forest road projects for Ore
gon and Washington on which construc
tion is now in progress or will shortly
begin.
Mr. Cecil emphasises that the entire
survey and construction work on these
projecta is handled by the Bureau of
Public Roads, under C. H. Purcell, dis
trict engineer. On each of the projects
there is a resident highway engineer of
the Bureau of Public Roads who is en
tirely responsible for the engineering
and construction details. This work is
carried on cooperatively, the Forest Ser
vice and the Bureau of Public Roads
working in close harmony.
For Oregon the major national forest
River road now in progress are Alsea
River orad, Siuslaw national forest;
Brush Creek-Mussel Creek road (a por

and the John Day highway from Prairie
City to Austin on the Whitman forest
In addition to the above, Mr. Cecil
states that work is now going ahead on
the summit section of the Mt. Hood
Loop and the McKonsie highway, con
tracts for both of which were let last
year but no construction done in 1921
other than clearing.
For Washington the following major
forest road projects are now being work
ed out:
The Blewett Pass road from Mountain
Home to a junction with the Sunset
highway, Wenatchce forest; the Olympic
highway from Forks to the Bogschiel

souht from Crater Lake National Park;
the Shea Hill-Cascadia road on the San
tiam forest; the Fort Klamath-Sand
Creek section of The Dalles-California
highway, Crater forest; the Mt. Baker
road from Spokane to Austin Pass Mea
dows, Washington forest; the Quinault
Lake. North Side road, Olympic forest;
and the Stevens Pass road from the
summit of the Cascade mountains to the
vicinity of Merritt, on the Snoqualmie
and Wenatchee forests.
Mr. Cecil also states that the survey
work has been completed and advertise
ment for bids will soon be made for the

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIt
A Big
DQKIE CONVENTION
TO BE WIDE
With the 2nd annual convention of the
Pacific Northwest association of Dokie
Temples two weeks away frantic haste
is noticeable in all Eastern Oregon
points where Dokies and Knights of Py
thias reside. Most of the lodges in Un
ion, Wallowa and Baker counties are
entering floats in the parade and several
points in Umatilla county are doing the
same. This convention is drawing a big
delegation from every town and hamlet
in Eastern Oregon, and the reason is
that there will be two daya of unalloyed
fun and amusement Hot only for the
Knights of Pythias and Dokies but for
the nublic at large. The convention
opens on Friday, the delegates attending
from Dokie temples in western Canada,
Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon.
The program for the two days starts
oft with a big ceremonial at 2 o'clock
at which Tyros will bo brought in from
all the nooks and crannies of the entire
Eastern Oreeon section, in fact some
Tyros are coming from Canada. Dokies
from this whole section of the state are
rigging up candidates for initiation
knowing that the honor of being initia
ted in a class of this kind appeals to ev
eryone. Friday night is stunt night and
arrangements for seating 4,000 people
at the fair grounds have been made.
This program is free and open to the
oublic although sections will be reserv
ed for Dokies wearing their Phetes. One
of the feature numbers will be the En
terprise Philharmonic orchestra and the
Enterprise Madrigal club. Numbers will
be rendered from the ridiculous to the
sublime. Saturday morning and Satur
day afternoon also appeal to the public
at large because the contest for big
cash prices between drum corps, patrol
teams and bands will be an interesting
treat for everybody. This too is free.
Saturday night comes the closing event
n the way of a monstrous parade in
which several thousand people will be
represented. La Grande is making ar
rangements for entertaining the biggest
crowd that has ever been in the city.
The street decorations will be espe
cially wonderful. Adams avenue and
Depot street being done for a change
of color that will be startling. They will
be made to represent an Eastern street
scene. Both Friday and Saturday nights
there will be street dancing under these
palm trees and subdued lights.
With hundreds of Dokies and hundreds
of spectators, with four or five big bands
with four noisy drum corps and the ex
citement and fever that goes with the
gathering of thousands the Dokie con
vention at La Grande will be a drawing
card from the Pacific Northwest in a
way that no other function has ever
drawn.
Hotel Grande Changes Hands.
As mentioned in our last week's issue
the Hotel Grnnde has at last changed
hands and is now the property of Wm.
McDonald of McDonald's Ferry fame, the
man who a few years back caught you
coming and going and is now making ar
rangements to remodel the old hotel so
as to get you coming and keep you
there.
Mr. McDonald needs no introduction
to the local people and is well known
to the traveling public and Arlington
has indeed been fortunate in getting a
man of his ability to take hold of the
old Grande hotel, for he is not only an
optimist but a progressive that believes
in doing things and we feel safe in say
ing that under his management the
Grande will evolve from its decline and
our citizens will not be ashamed to have
their friends stop there.
While Mr. McDonald has some changes
in view and is remodeling the old build
ing it is his intention to erect a new
building next spring and have it ready
for the tourist travel. So let us all
boost for the new Arlington hotel. Ar
lington Bulletin.
For Sale at Once The Hart residence,

Load For The Old
Payments on Aid Loans
Begin on August 7th
"All going out and nothing coming in"
has been the rule in the State Bonus
commission up to Saturday of last week.
This can no longer be maintained how
ever, for on Saturday the first repay
ment on a loan arrived at the commis
sion's office. Frederick Jensen of Port
land obtained a loan of $3,000.00 three
months ago, being the fifth actually
paid. He was the first, however, who
elected to make his payments quarterly
and a money order for $45.00 arrived at
the office of the commission two days
before it was due. Of this amount,
$30.00 is credited at interest and (15.00
appliea to reduce the principal. The
second payment irfthe form of a cash
ier's check arrived this morning from
Edgar Franz, of Hood River, and was
for the same amount, Nine more pay
ments come due during August and 39
in September, with a rapidly increasing
number in the succeeding months.
"While the law does not require it,"
said Major Harry Brumbaugh, secretary
of the commission, "we are mailing out
notices of payments due in ample time
for the borrower to make his arrange
ments for the payment. On our notice
we call attention to the fact that per
sonal checks in payment cannot be ac
cepted and request that remittances be
made by money order or bank draft
made payable to the state treasurer. Per
sonal checks sometimes necessitate a
fee for their collection through the bank,
which we are unable to pay under the
law, and for that reason the ruling was
made that personal checks would not be
accepted.
With the close of today's business,
the commission has approved 18,063
claims for cash bqnus amounting to $4,
147,938; has approved and fixed the
amount in 2,347 loans aggregating $5,-
327,000 and have approved for payment,
842 loans amounting to $2,009,500. Loans
are being paid now at the rate of ap
proximately $1,250,000 per month. The
amount of funds remaining from the
first sale of $10,000,000 in bonds, it Is
estimated, will be exhausted about Oc
tober 1st. The commission have author
ized the sale of an additional amount of
$5,000,000 early in September for deliv
ery on October 1st.
RETURN FROM 3500
MILE AUTO TRIP
Prof. Howard M. James and family
have returned from their vacation, which
they took in the form of an automobile
trip. Prof. James will be located at Ar
lington nexf year, and with his family
is speiiuuig K lew uuys in neppner penn
ing the completion of his residence in
Arlington. On their trip they covered a
distance of 3500 miles and traveled in
four states. Leaving Heppner in June,
they went as far north as Spokane, vis
iting relatives and friends in various
parts of eastern and western Washing
ton. While north they also visited for
a short time in Idaho. Coming back
through Oregon they spent a couple of
weeks at Oregon City and other valley
points, going down through Southern
Oregon and into California where they
spent some time. They went as far
south as Marysville and put in quite
a bit of time taking in the sights around
San Francisco and the bay region.
In speaking of the trip, Mr. James said
they all had the time of their lives, and
he was afraid it would be hard for them
to settle down once more. He was very
much pleased with the treatment they
received all the time they were gone,
both from fellow tourists and th'j towns
which they passed through and where
they stayed. They found many excellent
auto camps all along their route and
generally speaking, the roads were good.
Makea Cattle Shipment to Portland.
Al Ilenriksen shipped out five cars of
fine beef cattle to the Portland yards
Wednesday morning. Mr. Henriksen has
been busy the past several days buying
stock throughout the Interior country,
and still has several cars to bring in.
M. L. Case and family returned Wed
nesday afternoon from their extensive
automobile trip which took them to Los
Angeles and other points in California
and Oregon.

As the promoter of an out-door fes
tivity keeps an anxious eye on the bar
ometer, so the investor in bonds watches
the Liberty bond market and bases his
estimates and prognostications on the
fluctuations of those issues of which it
is composed. Just now the possibility
of another rise in bonds generally is in
dicated by the rising tendency of Lib-
ertys and the possibility is further
strengthened jat.the continuing cheap-.
ness ana aDunaance 01 capiuu. it may
be that their upward swing will gain
so much momentum by the early fall
that it will bear municipals and high
grade corporations along, although a re
turn to the 1917 high level, or even an
approximation to it, is not considered
even a remote possibility. Indices com
piled by various financial authorities in
dicate that bond prices in general are
still some 6.41 points under the 1917
level.
One result of the continued ease of
money rates is the exceptionally large
call for payment of bond issues. Many
corporations throughout the United
States are taking advantage of the pre
vailing comparative low interest rates to
anticipate the maturities of their out
standing securities, calling them and
putting out new issues at rates which
are considerably lower than the former
rates. Bond issues called for payment
in 1922 in entirety before maturity have
established a new high record. Thus far
this year the total has almost reached
400 millions, as compared with a total
of only about 19 millions in the corres
ponding period of last year. Whether
this method of procedure is the part of
wisdom or the reverse depends of course
upon the future price of capital. If in
terest rates continue to decline and Mr.
Roger Babson and Mr. John Moody
agree that it is extremely likely that
they will do so for some years to come
the corporations which have issued their
new escunties for long terms and witn
the provision that they are callable only
at high premiums will have cause for
regret. In the present circumstances and
by comparison with former rates, cur
rent interest rates appear low; but if
Mr. Babson and Mr. Moody prove true
profits, it is not inconceivable that the
lapse of time may witness such further
reductions that present rates may seem
hieh.
Business throughout the country is
not only suffering from the usual sum
mer dullness to be expected at this time
of year, but appears less cheerful also
because of the continuing strikes. The
rail strike menaces the movement of
crops and the coal strike hampers the
operation and production of most of the
industries. Car loadings are, however,
said to be on the mend in spite of the
railroad embarrassment, and the iron
and steel industries are still functioning
with great prosperity, although the la
bor situation has affected them adverse
ly. Locally the bright particular star in
our financial firmament, the lumber in
dustry, is scintillating with unwonted
brilliancy, production being above nor
mal. Local crops, however, are suffer
ing from the unusually dry season and
will fall far short of expectations.
Throughout the country at large, the
crop yield promises well, and much will
hinge on the ability of the railroads to
move them.
The elasticity of business which Hen
ry Thoreau eighty years ago likened to
that of a rubber ball is still fortunately
one of its vital characteristics and will
doubtless enable it to bound over the
obstacles in its path, and though cast
down temporarily to come up with un
impaired resiliency.
John Pieper Buys New Dodge.
John Pieper, of Lexington, received a
new Dodge car from Cohn Auto Co. Sat
urday. This brings the total number of
cars sold by the local firm since the
first of the year up to twenty-eight.
Rev. and Mrs. W, O. Livingstone and
daughter Lois returned this morning
from their vacation which was spent at
the coast. They had a fine time and say
the weather was ideal all the time they
were gone.
Printer's Ink Held Need
Of Up-to-Date Farmers
O. A. C. Sends Ont Call for Sample of
Successful Ada, Letterheads and
Printed Matter.
Oregon Agricultural College, Corral-
lis, August 16. "Farmers should nse
more printer's ink. Those who have
used it, both in advertising and in their
home paper, and in letterheads, envel
opes, posters and catalogs find that it
increases their business and offers a
convenient way of marketing their pro
ducts at home."
This is a decision of the department
of industrial journalism at Oregon Ag
ricultural college, which is making a
survey of farm advertising in Oregon.
and which desires to obtain samples of
successful advertisements and pnnted
matter used by Oregon farmers. The
department asks all rural newspapers to
submit samples of other printing for
farmers as well as advertisements. The
material will be used to build up an ex
hibit at the college to stimulate the nse
of printer's ink by Oregon farmers, and
to assist farmers who ask the college
for suggestions and advice on advertis
ing and printing.
That the business fanner is beginning
to realise that he must nse the columns
of his local paper to advertise his pro
ducts is indicated in a contest for rural
newspapers of Oregon which was eon
ducted at the recent convention of the
state press association at Corvallis. In
the papers which carried the largest
amount of rural news service the farm
ers were users of advertising space. Not
only did many editors cooperate in the
matter of free publicity to the farmers,
but actually gave preference to stories
of unusual happenings in the rural com
munities. Names for farms are becoming as pop
ular as the use of advertising and print
ed matter, it is shown. The grower of
produce is taking a tip from the national
advertisers and giving his products a
mark of identification, which results in
increased business and stimulates a
local market, as well as serves as a
trademark.
Lexington Man Performs
In Air for Fair Caravan
When Mayor Baker of Portland and
his delegation of 1925 Fair boosters
neared Lexington Monday afternoon,
they were greeted from the air by W.
G. Scott, leading citizen, banker and
warehouseman of Lexington. Mr. Scott
chartered the Russell Bros, airplane and
with P. J. Russell as pilot they gave the
visitors an exhibition of up-to-date fly
ing, such as-the tail spin, the falling leaf
and corkscrew dive. Mr. Spott carried
the stars and stripes and the union jack.
Mayor Baker made a short address,
telling the people what Portland pro
posed to do in 1925, and the delegation
hurried on their way, as they were be
hind in their schedule.

925 FAIR BOOSTERS
VISIT HERE HUNT
Automobile Caravan Composed of Port
land Busineaa Men Entertained at
Luncheon. About Sixty Visitor
Find Sentiment for Fair Not Very
Strong.
The automobile caravan of 1925 Fair
boosters sent out from Portland to
spread propaganda and boost for the big
exposition in the metropolis in 1925,
pulled into Heppner Monday morning
from Pendleton. There were about six
ty men in the bunch, headed by Mayor
George L. Baker and they were enter
tained at Hotel Patrick at a luncheon,
during and after which many speeches
pro and con were made.
As toastmaster, C. T. Berg of Portland,
called upon F. A. McMenamin for a few
words for the fair, and Mr. McMenamin
responded with the statement that the
people of Morrow county, with some
few exceptions, were strongly in favor
of the fair. W. P. Mahoney who follow
ed, stated the opinion that the people
here were not very strong for any mea
sure or anything that would tend to in
crease the tax burden, and said he had
been unable to find many boosters for
the fair among the customers'of the
bank.
C. E. Woodson, when called npon, ra
ther backed up Mr. Mshoney's senti
ments, adding that the people war sus
picious of the statement that all th
Portland men wanted was for th rest
of the state to give Multnomah county
permission to bond herself for th fair.
He said there is a strong chance that
should the present measure pass then
will be a strong lobby present from
Portland at the next legislature to put
through legislation that will saddle many
millions of dollars of expenae npon th
taxpayers. Concluding, he said that th
people here would have to be shown sev
eral things before they can become
strong boosters for the exposition.
Mayor Baker, following Mr. Woodson,
presented the side of the visitors, and
gave their argumenta as to why the fair
would be a good thing and th benefit
to accrue therefrom to th etate. He
seemed to want to convey th impres
sion that anyone who is not enthusiastic
for the fair ia lacking somewhat in the
spirit of progress and that they are not
helping toward the bringing together of
the different sections of the state. He
told of the wonderful advantages the
fair will bring to the state in th way
of increased population and material de
velopment. W. B. Barratt spoke in favor of th
fair from the standpoint of development
which will follow th completion of th
state highway system, and the relation
the fair will have to such development.
The caravan left for Condon early in
the afternoon, going by way of Lexing
ton, lone and Olex, where abort stops
were made.

In 1919 Jones sold the Wiscon- 5
sin State Journal and bought the jjj
Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tribune, with 5
which paper he has put up the
biggest battle for civic decency S
and honesty in city and state gov- 5
ernment that Oklahoma has ever
known. He threw a corrupt chief
of police out of office and stopped 5
the grafters from stealing the
people's' money, repudiated a 5
thoroughly rotten city administra- i

science to questionable practices 5
in state government.
Recently Jonos purchased half 5
