The Great Success Attained in Hand
ling First Rodeo Prompts Citizen
to Keep McNamer, Gentry and Lat
otirell on Job; Date fur Second
Rodeo to Be September 27-28-29.
A rousing meeting of Rodeo fans
was held at the council chambers
on Monday evening, which was well
attended by representatives of the
business Interests of the community,
and the unanimous decision reached
was that a bigger and better show
would be put on for three days this
coming fall. Showing their appre
ciation of the good work accomplish
ed in the first Rodeo by the commit
tee putting it over last year, it
was the unanimous decision that they
be retained for the coming event, and
Messrs. C. W. McNamer, L. V. Gentry
and Chas. H. Latourell will again
have general supervision, it being
understood that they will attend to
the appointing of any other commit
tees that they may see fit, it also
being left to their discretion as to
the date on which the Rodeo will be
held. Following out this instruction,
they have decided to set the date def
initely as September 27, 28 and 29,
being just one week following the big
show at Pendleton.
J. J. Nys was chosen to act as
treasurer and LaVerne Van Marter
will till the position of secretary, thus
completing the organization for the
present, and the move for the 1923
Rodeo is off with a bang, all indica
tions pointing to a bigger and better
entertainment than last season,
though that was a pronounced suc
cess in every way.
Bert Mason, manager of the lone
baseball team and mayor of our
neighbor city, was present at the
meeting, being called to Hcppner to
make some arrangements for the com
ing ball game between the two towns,
and he took occasiun to state that his
community was well pleased with the
entertainment and treatment they re
ceived at Heppner last fail when the
Rodeo was on, and that they were
ready to cooperate this sar.o i and ,
come in larger numbers than before. j
He also stated that his little city,
through the efforts of the American
legion boys is planning a big
Fourth of July celebration, and he
asked for the cooperation of Mcpp
ner and nivited our people to uttcnil
en masse. He received assurance
that this should be done.
In discussing the coming Rodeo, it
was decided that here should be a
lot of work done on the track in or
der that it will be in better shape than
last year and in better view of the
grand stand. A holiday should be
called that this work be put over
without a cash outlay, Mr. Gentry as
serting his willingness to donate men
and teams and scrapers and other
things necessary, with the people of
the city giving the necessary labor.
A permanent fence will be erected
and the idea seems to be to put the
grounds in permanent shape. Action
on this will be taken later.
As was done last year, the com
mittee will ask for a guarantee from
the business men in a sum sufficient
to assure the complete success of the
undertaking, and they feel that there
will be no necessity in the end for
the guarantors to lose a cent, for the
show will undoubtedly pay its way
big.

Cutworms When Hun
gry Readily Poisoned
Poison Bran Mash Put on Field Be
fore Crop Is Up Is Eaten
With Great Relish.
"Cutworms which seriously attack
garden crops may be killed otf before
they have opportunity to injure the
plants, by application of a poison
bran mash," says A. L. Lovett, in
charge of entomological research at
the Oregon Agricultural college ex
periment station. "The mash should
be scattered over the garden after
the soil is prepared for planting and
before any green vegetation appears
in the field."
A formula which will make enough
poison bait to treat one acre is bran
15 pounds, lead-arsenate 1 pound, mo
lasses or a cheap syrup, 2 quarts, salt
4 ounces, and enough water to make
a coarse crumbly mash. This mash
may be broadcast over the field to be
treated. Late afternoon is the best
time of day for scattering the ma
terial. The worms devour the poison
mash greedily.
A thimblefull of the mash placed
near newly set tomato and cabbage
plnnts will protect them from cut
worm attacks. The mash will injure
the plants if allowed to come in con
tact with the stems.
Most cutworms pass the winter In
soil as partly grown cutworm caterpil
lars. They. are of grassy dull color
with faint spots and lines and with
out hairy covering. When fully
grown, they average one inch to one
and one-half inches long.
Lack of green vegetation following
preparation of the soil for planting in
the spring, forces the worms to fast.
They rapidly develop a keen appetite
and become seriously destructive to
newly set plants, unless controlled.

William Huebner was in from his
farm down in the north Sand Hollow
section on Saturday. Early in the
winter be had a fine prospect for a
crop as his grain had come up and was
growing well, but the freeze that came
along after the second snow fall got
the most of it and he has had to re-
seed The big rain down there this
week will be a great help to all the
farmers in that part of the county,
many of whom were forced to re-seed
for the same reason Mr. Huebner was
and there will be much spring grain
n that locality.
uch rain has fallen all over Mor
row county this week. It began rain
ing on Monday night and continued
the most of Tuesday. The wheat belt
and range lands have been greatly
benefitted as they were thoroughly
soaked. Showers have prevailed more
less since. It can be considered
worth many thousands of dollars to
the county, and should we be blessed
with the proper weather conditions
at maturing times, a bumper wheat
crop can be expected.
C. C. Calkins writes this paper from
Spokane that he is getting things
lined up nicely in a newly leased
business location and is beginning the

Game Closely Contested, With Few
Errors; Fine Weather Draws Large
Crowd; Was Beat Game Seen Here
for Years.
Heppner carried away the long end
of the 4-2 score in the game with
Boardman Sunday, and the large
crowd present was treated to one of
the best exhibitions of baseball seen
here for a long time. Boardman
lead off with one run in the first
nning, being assisted materially in
this accomplishment by an overthrow
of first and two well placed hits.
The locals gathered in two in the
same inning, putting on a pretty hit-
and-run show.
The first inning saw the end of
loose playing and for the next sev
eral frames both teams played real
ball, tightening down to the point
where it was unusual for a batter to
reach first. There was some extra
good fielding shown and many hits
that appeared to be good when the
ball left the bat were made into outs
through the dexterity of the field
ers. In the sixth nad eighth innings
Heppner brought in two more tal
lies and in the ninth Boardman scor
ed one.
Brothers on both teams were re
sponsible for the scores, the Aiken
brothers, Jared and Paul, being re
sponsible for three for Heppner. and
the Macomber brothers making
Boardman s two. Brown tallied
Heppner's fourth.
Irving Mather umpired to the sat
isfaction of both teams and the fans,
and his decisions, announced in a
voice that could be heard, were sel
dom questioned. The fine weather
was an inducement for the fans to be
present and an unusually large crowd
enjoyed the game, there being a large
number from Boardman and Lexing
ton present. j
CHARLES B. WRIGHT
Charles Wright, for many years a
resident of Lexington and vicinity,
and a familiar character about that
place, as well as being quite well
known over the county, died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. C. H.
Breshears in Lexington on Sunday
night, from a brief spell of sickness.
Funeral services were held at Hepp
ner Catholic church at 10 a. m. yes
terday, Rev. Father Gies officiating.
His daughter, Mrs. Emma Brashears,
who is postmistress at Lexington, and
her family are his only surviving
relatives.
Charles B. Wright was born March
21, 1857, at Cincinnati, Ohio, and died
from a stroke of paralysis at the
home of his daughter, Mrs, Emma
Brashears in Lexington on Monday,
April 16, 1923, having taken sick on
the Saturday previous and never gain
ing consciousness. In 1880 he was
married to Mary Willoer at Pullman,
111., and to them four children were
born, the mother and three children
passing away a number of years ago.
He came to Morrow county about 20
years ago, and has continued to re

Were Amazed By
Telephone Concert
Thirty Years Ago
Orchestra Music Sent Over Wire to
WilHamsport From Philadelphia
Gave Rare Treat In 1891.
The large horn which delivers the
sound from the Bell Loud Speaker is
not the most important part of the
marvelous mechanism, but it plays its
own part. That such a horn would
increase the volume of sound was rec
ognized by the engineers of the Amer
ican Telephone & Telegraph Company
many years ago. An instance is told
of a dinner given in WilHamsport,
Pennsylvania, by a prominent resi
dent, a Mr. Rhoades, on April 3, 1891,
A number of telephone receivers with
horns attached to them were hung In
the chandelier over the dinner table
and the whole contrivance concealed
from sight and suspicion by a wonder
ful display of flowers. Mr. Rhoades
residence was connected by the Amer
ican Telephone & Telegraph Company
with the Continental Hotel in Phila
delphia, where there was & fine con
cert that same evening. Great was
the amazement of Mr. Rhoades'
guests when suddenly they heard
very clearly orchestral music from
some invisible source such as they
knew was not to be heard in Wil-
liamsport. No less was their inter
est and delight when it was explained
to them that they were listening by
telephone to a concert that was being
given in Philadelphia.
Improved methods of transmission,
together with the vacuum tube ampli'
fier, have produced results which
would amaze those who attended this
early demonstration. It is now possi
ble to carry not only musical pro
grams but the words of public speak
ers over specially nrranged telephone
circuits across the continent and to
increase their volume to such an ex
tent that thousands of people can
hear them with perfect distinctness.
Wilson Sale Success
The F. H. Wilson sale held at th

horses and mules which at pre
sent, owing to the fine crop prospects,
are in good demand, and the farm

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
DEDICATED SUNDAY
Neighboring Churches Join In All
Day Services; New $21,000 Build
ing Complete la Every Respect; In
debtedness Taken Care of.
The congregation of the First
Christian church of Heppner are hap
py over the results of the dedicatory
services held on Sunday. The new
building, though not yet completed,
was put in shape to handle the large
congregations that gathered for the
all-day service. Churches at Lexing
ton and lone and Heppner abandoned
services, and sent large delegations
this being especially true of lone
church, who were present at an early
hour to take part in the Bible school.
The Lexington delegation arrived a
little later and there was a splendid
day of fellowship.
Floyd Ross, evangelist, delivered
the dedicatory sermon and called for
subscriptions to cover the indebted
ness created by the erection of the
fine new structure, and he met with
a liberal response. Subscriptions and
cash donations amountnig to better
than $3000 were handed in, and these
have been considerably augmented
during the week, new subscriptions
coming in each day. The church now
feel that they have surmounted this
difficulty, and they are rejoicing over
the results.
When completed the church will
cost in the neighborhood of 121,000.
It is a complete work shop and a
building of beauty and utility, one
that will serve the people of the
church and this community well for
many long years to come. It is equip
ped with a fine heating plant that
will not only take care of the thor
ough heating of the entire building
in winter, but will serve in the pur
pose of a cooling plant for the aud
itorium and upstairs rooms in the
heat of summer as it can be made
to distribute the cool air of the base
ment which is driven through the
ventilators by a big fan propelled by
an electric motor. Contractor Den
essee expects to have the structure
fully completed in four weeks and
turned over to the building commit
tee which consists of E. R. Huston,
chairman; T. J. Humphreys, treasur
er; Charles Thomson, Mrs. T. J.
Humphreys, R. W. Turner, Vawter
Crawford, Mrs. E. R. Huston, T. E.
Chidsey, C. C. Calkins, Mrs. Neva
Clabaugh, Miss Alma Devin and W.
O. Livingstone. This committee has
managed to keep the work moving
smoothly, and its labors are being
brought to a successful culmination,
through the united support of the
members of the church at large and
the many friends of the community.
No heavy contributions were made
