THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1923. PAGE THRKK ocai i Mr. and Mrs. Vawter Crawford and MU Margaret Crawford spent Mon day at the home of Mr. and Mr a. J. M. Spencer on lower Butter creek. Down that way the ranch em are all in the midst of putting- up their second crop of alfalfa and the big hay stacks are getting mighty numerous. The second crop seems to be equally as good as the first and is yielding well. Wheat Is rolling off the holls down to the Kcho market road, trucks being used largely for transportation, and all roads leading down to Butter creek are now badly rutted and the dust is deep. It will be a fine thing for the people out that direction when the Lexington market road fs completed, and when this happens, large quanti ties of the grain now going out to Echo from Morrow county will come to Lexington, The big melon crop is just coming on in quantity pro duction at Irrigon, and daily ship ment! of watermelons musk melons and cantaloupes are being mads both east and west from that point on the trains, besides what is leaving there in trucks. This crop is very fine on the project this season and the de mand is (rood. Coming home that way, the editor took on a supply for home consumption from the patches of Messrs. Grimm and Seaman. M r. and M rs. Albert Adkins re turned on Sunday from their vacation. Mrs. Adkins has been visiting for the past month or more at the home of her parents at Gresham, and Mr. Ad kins joined her two weeks ago. They spent the most of his vacation visit ing at Aberdeen and Hoquim where Albert enjoyed himself going through the big lumber mills and other 'manu facturing plants of Grays Harbor. Business conditions are good over that way. Both Harley and Ralph Adkins reside at Aberdeen, the for mer holding a good position with the railroad company in the union sta tion, and the latter working in one of the big mills. R, H.

Thomson and family returned home from Portland the first of the week. Mr. Thomson was one of the many merchants of the Northwest taking In Buyers' Week. Just how he could resist the temptation of staying this week and attending the big doings of the Dokies, is more than we can understand. Rev. W. O. Livingstone departed for San Juan Island. Wash., Monday, to join Mrs. Livingstone and Miss Lois who have been there for several weeks.

Or better yet if he'll let you bor row his Model 10 and take it out in the fields or down by the water for an after noon and try it for yourself. Fire arms experts always comment on the precision and finish of the Model 10 the result of 245 separate inspections in the Remington plant. And they remark that the receiver is machined out of solid steel instead of made of stamped steel metal or a cored casting as is done with many shot guns. But the man who goes out for a day's sport or to get a few ducks or rabbits for supper isn't so apt to say anything about these technical features. He'll tell you that the Remington Model 10 shoots harder and straight er than any other 12-gauge he ever had in his hands, has an action that never balks or clogs and seems to get better the longer he uses it. If you're in line for something specially good in a 20-gauge Get your dealer to show you the new Remington Model 17. This is a ham merless, solid-breech pump action, too. Chambered for inch shells which gives it the power and range of a 16 gauge. It is comparatively new but already many old-timers swear by it as a "real man's gun." The first time you get a chance go to the gun rack at the store and look at these Remingtons. Your dealer will be glad to tell you anything you want to know about them.
