Subscription $2.00 Per Year BOUQUETS HIDED Brotherhood Meeting Discusses Hepp- ner'a Heritage, and Then Saya Nice Thinga- to Retiring Highway Com- miaaioner and County Clerk. The aubject for discussion at the Brotherhood meeting on last Monday nignt was aomewhat laid in the shade by the turn that eventa took. W. O. Livingstone was the first to speak, and he confined his remarks to the subject, stating that he was "talking about something that he knew noth ing about," but nevertheless bringing out a number of very good points on neppner s Heritage." Among a number of things touched on by the speaker was the regaining of trade territory that at the present seemed lost to the city; this being a heritage that we should regain, if possible. Then there was the bringing of cheap er fuel into the city from the almost inexhaustible supply lying right at our door in the big belt of timber back of town and but a few miles away; an attractive and convenient camping ground for tourists, and last, but not least, an improved train service on the branch. These were just some things that appealed to the speaker at this time, and he left much for thought. C. A. Minor was then called on, word having been sent to him at Portland by a member of the commit tee on arrangements that it would be a pleasure to hear from him on this subject If it were possible for Mr. Minor to be here. Having re ceived the consent of his physician that he might come to Heppner, an that he would be permitted to take some part in the meotinur. orovide ho made no attempt at speaking, Mr, Minor came prepared with an original poem that set out, not only his ideas or Heppner s heritage, but also con tained much ancient history of th town, all of which was well presented ana greatly enjoyed. Art is endowet, with a fine memory, and his contribu tion to the evening's program set jut much that was enjoyed by tha old' timers present, as well as those com ing to the city at later dates. It was up to S. E. Notion to divulge the "conspiracy" of the evening, and after a few remarks on the subjee in hand, he proceeded to hand out some read bouquets to W. B. Barratt, retiring highway commissioner. Hi excuse for this was that he felt it was better to show our appreciation of the pepole while they were yet here to receive it, because they could ' not read the nice things said about them on their tombstone when they were dead. Mr. Notson made Barratt feel that he had the gratofu! appre ciation or his home town and com munity for the good services per formed while on the highway com mission, and what he said was gen erously applauded. He also turned loose on Joe Waters and said a lot of nice things about him, all of which was deserved for the eight or more years or raithful service on behalf of the public of Morrow county as cierk. Other speakers fell in line to add their testimony of appreciation to these two gentlemen, these being C. fc. woodson, V. I,. Kweok, J. J, Nys, Judge lampbell, R. W. Turner and rrank (.Milium. Mr. Barratt responded in a cheer. ful manner, stating that he had been jobbed in coming to the meeting, for it was to devolve upon him to make a speech and hand out some nice talk to Mr. Waetrs, and here they had turned their guns on him He thanked the speakers, kindly, for their remarks concerning his efforts lo bring something to his home town and county while on the commission, out rclt that he had only done hi - duty and was indeed glad that he had been of some real service. Mr. Waters, who is quite reserved, wnen It comes to speaking In his own behalf, thanked the Brotherhood and friends for their good words and was glad that he had been able to serve the people in a way that called forth their generous approbation. Joe couldn't say very much, but he felt a whole lot and was made to realize that he has gained a place in the hearts of his fellow citizens that should be the envy of every good man. the meeting was attended by 76 members and visitors, and when it was over the expressions on all sides were to the effect that It was the best yet hold. It was gratifying to the president and other members of the Brotherhood that so many were pres ent and President Wators gave them an urgent Invitation to come back next month, prepared to toll "best story." their Car Turns Over On Rhea Creek Road While returning to town from a trip to upper Rhea creek on Sunday, Game Warden Albee met with an acci dent to his Ford car. Striking a rock in the road, the car was suddenly swerved and turned completely over. With Mr. Albee in the car was his son, 16 yeara of ago. The latter re ceived quite severe injuries to his ankle, but Mr, Albee escaped unin jured. The enr had the windshield smashed, but otherwise was slightly damaged.

In the 112 cities in Oregon where are located posts of the American Le gion, April 8 will be commemorated as "American Legion Sunday," it be ing the Sunday falling closest to the anniversary of the declaration of war against Germany. The Rev. Frank James of Dallas, department chaplain of ;the American Legion, in calling attention to a state convention resolution establishing the day which it is hoped will become as distinctive to the legion as Memor- ial Sunday is to the G. A. R., declared yesterday: "The thought is that each post in the state will Brrange with the minis ters of the churches in their town for a union service of all the churchei in the name of the Legion, one of the ministers preaching the sermon, the Legion attending in a body. It is hoped that the churches in the town where posts of the Legion are dulv organized will accede to the request of local posts for such a service when requested. It is further hoped that every post will make the request and then honor the courtesy of the churches by attending the service ar ranged in a body with as strong a representation as possible. The American Legion stands for the high est and the best interests of the com munity. Many of it's members are active in the work of the churches of the various denominations. Such a service will be in harmony with the ideals of the Legion, and wherever it may be held will be distinctly non- denominational. It is therefore hoped that this American Legion Memorial Sunday will find a permanent place in the program of the Legion posts and the churches of the state." LEXINGTON CHURCH OF CHRIST.

The visitation of a couple of stray dogs at the ranch of W. H. Cleve- and Tuesday, caused the loss of about 54 head of ewes. The dogs came to the corral at the barn where the ewe band was, during the absence of the herder at dinner, and rushing the sheep, caused them to pile un. The band was being prepared for lambing and Mr. Cleveland feels that his loss is all the more severe on this account. Mrs. M.

GRAZING FEES WILL IrtT nr nunrn limn IS Readjustment of Charges to Live Stock Interests Postponed Until 1925, When It la Believed Condi tions In Industry Will Be Better. Washington. March 12. There will be no increase in fees charged for grazing live stock on national forests until iy:5, according to an announce ment of the U. S. National Forest Service in a telegram to the National Wool Growers' Association. For the first ten years after the national forests were placed under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture only a nominal charge was made for permits to graze live siock. However, it was realized that. excepting for the pioneer seriod. the charge for our government range must eventually be based UDon its xair commercial value. As steps toward such valuation. moderate increase was made in graz ing rees in iaia and 1919. at which time the stockmen using national for est ranges were given five-year per mits expiring at the close of 1923. Coincident with the issuance of such permits, the stockmen were advised that the various national forest ranges would be carefully appraised during that period and fees adjusted accordingly for a new five-year per iod beginning in 1924. and that the new fees would be announced earlv in 1923. The work of range appraisals naa aavanced to where it is now evi dent that a readjustment of fees would result in a marked increase in the grazing charges made on many national forests. However, the livestock industry in the West is suffering severely from economic collapse following the war and aggravated by the climatic condi tions which have been unfavorable to the industry in a number of Western states. It is therefore felt bv for- stry officials that it would be unwise to take action at this time which would result m increasing their bur dens. For this reason the forester as recommended and the Secretary oi Agriculture nas approved the post ponement of the readjustment of fees until the grazing season of 1925. According to forestry officials the postponement of readjustment should ot be construed as m any wav indi eating a departure from the original intention to establish and adhere to the commercial value principle, which is felt to be absolutely sound and which they believe in the long run will prove most acceptable to the stocit industry. Morrow County Should Produce Seed Alfalfa Oregon Agricultural Colleee. Cor. vauis, Mar. 14. More alfalfa seed can be profitably produced in Morrow county, believes George R. Hyslop, hief of farm crops at the O. A. C. experiment station. V e need a large production of seed to take care of our annual plant- gs, especially Grimm alfalf a." said Hyslop. "There are not many farm ers attempting to grow alfalfa as i seed crop, but a great many have sold stands that are thin and free from weeds, which can be used for seed production. Other counties in which food eed can oe produced are Douglas, Jose phine, Umatilla, Jackson and Baker. Jackson county is probably the larg est producer at the present time. It is possible that alfalfa seed will be a good crop in some sections oi Lake county, if grown without ov- irrigation. Some e-ood yields have been obtanied in Malheur county." i rials lor seed In the Willamette lley have not been successful, pro bably due to some unfavorable cli matic condition. It is considered un wise for the firmer of this section to attemPt to grow alfalfa for seed. "?nJL f .V" 1P"blem" lf!'fa " T k k, f,- ge. t0 set, probably a pollination Droblem. It seems that the best seed is obtain. ed where the growing season is hot, the stand thin, and aften where the conditions for good growth are un favorable such as gravelly or slight ly alkali soil, or land that is a little dry. "The second crop is usually saved for seed in those counties where three crops are cut. The first crop is saved for seed in the sections where only two crops are cut. "Special care must be taken to grow seed free from dodder, and get it hulled with a low percentage of hard seed," continued Hyslop. "It is more profitable to grow good clean seed in the field than to try to clean undesir able weed seeds out of it after it has been harvested." S. E. Notson, Frank Gilliam and Judge Campbell, bonus loan apprais ers, were down in the BoardniBn coun try f nday to look over the property of some applicants. They were ac companied by Clerk Waters and re port that they found the weather down that way somewhat milder than here, with spring well on the way. "Farmer" Smith of the Union Pa cific, was a visitor in this city for a short time the end of the week. He has been promoting a dry farm in the Irrigon section for a nunibor of years and was here on business connected with the disposal of this place. He returned home on Friday.
