A BRIEF STATEMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL FEATURES OF LAW
AFFECTING THE COLLECTION AND PAYMENT OF TAXES
TO WHOM PAYABLE. All taxes on thij statement are payable to the
sheriff.

and collected thereon in addition to the interest provided herein.
In order to escape penalty, taxes must be paid on or before November 5.
CERTIFICATES OF DELINQUENCY. Any day after the expiration of
six months after the taxes charged against real property are delinquent
the sheriff shall, with the consent and approval of the county court, have

GEORGE JicDUFFEE, Tax Collector.
Receipts are conditioned on prompt payment of all checks given the
tax callector therefor.
Address ail communications to
GEORGE McDUFFEE, Tax Collector,
Heppner, Oregon.
Special Equipment, threes Feed, Ral
anced Rations, Frequent Mar.
ketinir Are Essential.
West coast poultrymen must pro
duce eggs cheaper than eastern pro
ducers, as they have to sell the sur
plus in markets further east at the
same prices local producers get, says
Paul V. Maris, O. A. C, director of
extension. This means that the cost
of extra shipments has to be saved
off the production cost of eggs to
make competition possible.
"To compete in these markets we
have to produce eggs for less," says
the director. "To succeed it is nec
essary that a large enough flock be
kept to warrant:
1. Frequent trips to markets with
egy's so they will be in first class condition.
2. Mixing or purchase of precise
ly balanced rations.
3. Growing special crops for
green feed.
4. Special equipment such as
houses, yards and brooders."
To determine more nearly just
what the conditions of success are.
the Extension service conducted in
Benton county three demonstration
and two record poultry farms. In
cubation and brooding and culling
out weak layers were leading items
of investigation. The best means of
assisting farm and commercial pro
ducers to meet their seasonal prob-:
lems are being found in these inves- i
tigations.
Another demonstration farm will
be run this year, and complete rec- i
ords will be kept in three other com
munities to see how the new plans
are panning out.
The farm bureau, granges, com
munity clubs, Corvallis chamber of
commerce, and farmers, cooperated.
Otherwise the work would not have
been possbile, Mr. Maris declares.
(Continued from First Page)
they might be expected to b accord
ing to their ages. 6 per cent are
accelerated; that is, they are one or
more grades above the grade in which
they should be. 10 per cent are
classed aa retarded, or from one to
two grades below where they should
be for their age. Taking the case of
the boys, 73 per cent are normal; 6
per cent are accelerated, and 21 per
cent are retarded.
The basketball game played be
tween Boardman and Heppner last
Saturday was rather one-sided.
Boardman was at a disadvantage be
cause of having played a strenuous
game at Lexington the previous
night.
The Heppner boys played fast and
scored two points at the beginning
of the game. They kept up their
good playing and at the end of the
first half the score was 14-0 in our
favor. In the second half some of

and the game ended with a score of
oi-i m iieppner-s favor. Carl Cason
was the star of the game, making 14
points for Heppner by his brilliant
play's.
Both aides played a good clean
game, a splendid spirit existing
through the entire battle. Board
man played a hard game under great
handicaps and they are to be com
mended on their sportsmanship. The
only thing lacking was the loyal back
ing the people of the community
owe their school team. Come out
next time and see the boys win.
Mr. Hedrick makes the following
statementa concerning the school:
According to reports compiled be
fore December SI there have been
294 pupils enrolled in the grades of
Heppner and 113 in the high school.
28 of the grade pupils and 7 of the
high school pupils are nonresidents
of the district.
By the same report there has been
a reduction in teacher cost of 0 per
cent in the high school and 20 per
cent in the grades. Last year it cost
for teaching and janitor service alone
44.2 cents per day per pupil in the
high school and 31.2 cents per pupil
per day in the grades. This year the
cost is 40.2 cents per pupil in the
high school and 24.9 cents in the
grades.
This has been brought about in
three ways: elimination of one
teacher, big general cut in teachers'
wages, and increase in the number
of pupils assigned to a teacher.

FEED SUPPLY ON RANGE IS NOT
QUITE NORMAL, KUHN SAYS IN
HIS ANNUAL GRAZING REPORT
Sheep to the n amber of 138,256,
and 17,214 cattle and 1,068 horses
grazed on the rarges in the territory
over which John C. Kuhns has juris
diction during the year of 3922, ac
cordnig to e annual grazing report
which has been compiled in the local
office of the fortst tervice. The dis
tricts included in Mr. Kuhns report
are Aotin, Touchet, Wnlii Walla,
VWinh, Gut-
t AT 17
JLU Vi-V-LJ Ul
Grande fconde, Albee,
dane and Heppner.
Feed on ti.e rang-e during the sea
ton on an average for aii sections
ond the district wts not quite normal
in supply, the report indicates. The
chief factor in this shortness of feed
was the light rainfall. The deficien
cy in rainfall at the Walla Walla
station was .5 inches, and the total
precipkation err.ounted to 10.9 inches.
Wild Hurt-en Bother
No change in fees is recommended
for 11C3 by the report, but the rtc
cottimendatiun is made that either &
grating hiifctant, or an experienced
gntzirg examiner be assigned to the
L'matii'a Ft-rest to as? lift livestock
ast-ociationn in their grazi?ig problems
on the rai.g1.
There aie Rt-rroximatftly 800 head
of wild or unc. aimed hordes roaming
and feeHirg over the Htrdtr.an-Tani-ferack-Morument
rarge, ir;d the pres
ence of these Bnirnais is a nuigance
to sttA'kTsen. the leport Rty. The
suggestion itt put forward that legal
Ktepf toward getting rid of these ani
raa)i be tkn by the service.
The cumiition of catt;e when they j
came off the rxnge lat fall varied i
according to the kind of range they j
ffd on during the nutnmer, Another j
factor that tgured in their condition i
was the shape in which they were
when they catne on to the range in j
the fprii-R. le to the hard winter j
of 1.-21:, large numbers of cattle!
were thin when they were placed on
the range. In those dhtricts where I
feed was short, they remained thin j
when they left this f'(.
Cattlemen are generally di scour- I
aged in th? district on account of i
market conditions. The report says:
"On parts of the rarge there was a'
decided dump in the demand for
range by cattlemen, liariger Woods
Mates that eight permittees on the
rive Mile caltie range have quit the
civile buinrsk durirg the laitt sea
son. I believe, however, tliut the de
mand Is culturally nure or less t pas
mini, c for M0 per cent of the V mat) Us
rattle range, due to the fact that a
large peir?iiUgtt of ao called cattle
men are not dependent on cattle
raining fur a livelihood.
Sheep Men Encouraged.
"The sheep business is picking up,"
the report continues, "and there is a
general feeling of encouragement
among the sheepmen. It is true that
a number of Umatilla permittees
have bene sold out, or have lost their
stock and ranches through foreclos
ure; but this is the result of the dis
astrous seasons of 1919, 1920 and 1921 :
rather than to conditions prevailing j
in U'22. Shipments of early lambs
from the Umatilla range brought j
good prices. Ranger Kendall states 1
that lambs sold by the Ganguetg
weighed between 85 and 90 pounds. '
The J. E. Smith Livestock Co. lambs
averaged 75.2 pounds in weight when
they were sold at Meacham, Oregon,
August 10. This particular shipment
j was a straight run of 1,000 lambs.
ana mere were ne-cui Dacas. (
Of interest to sportsmen is that 1
part of the report in which the cen- 1
bus of wild animals is made. The to
tals for all the range territories in
the district are as follows:
iluie deer, 6,795; elk, 1,365; brown !
bear, 1.150; black bear, 1,065; coyotes 1
6,025; lynx, 475; wolf, 35; badger,
s0; beaver, 1.475; fox, 320, marten,
3,0a0; mink, 2,167; muskrat, 2,360; :
otter, 125; and weasel, 8,000-
The suggestion is put forward in ;
the report that the game laws might
he much more strictly enforced in i
the district, especially in Umatilla ;
county.
Loaaes of Livestock, j
During the season, the total losses
of cattle were 63 head, it is stated.
Of this number, 10 head died because ;
of diseases and eight are reported as
having died from eating poisonous :
plants. By far the greater percent
age of losses came about from natur- !
al looses, ft is estimated: old age,
calving, and sliding over bluffs caus
ing the demise of probably 75 per
cent of the cattle lost.
liased on rangers' reports, to to
tal looses in sheep ia estimated at
5,C6. Of this number, 3,820 are said
to have been killed by predatory ani
mals. In the Touchet district losses
were higher to the band than in oth
er districts due to the fact that many
cheep wandered from the band and so
fell easy prey to animals, The coy
ote causes the greater part of the
loss from this source, but stockmen
are credited with the statement that
bears cause 10 per cent of the loss
thitt comes from predatory animals.
