Oregon Creamery Heads
Plan New Cream Grades
At Call of State Dairy and Food Com-
mlsaloner Factory Men Confer
ob Better Butter
At the call of C. L. Hawley, state
dairy and food commissioner, a num
ber of Oregon creamery men recent
ly met in Portland and adopted a def
inite grade for eream and have now
gone out to get the cooperation of ev
ery creamery in the state.
Oregon creameries are making more
butter than is used in the state, dis
posing of the surplus In out of state
markeU. The beat of these are San
Francifco and Los Angeles, which de
mand a high grade product, A dis
count of ( cents a pound Is charged
aeulnst butter falling from 93 point
to 89 point. A single can oi oso
cream Is enough to reduce a whole
churning these four points and pull
the price down from 46 cents a pound
to 39. This loss on a ton lot is 1120
cash. Worse yet, the drop In quality
meana disaster to the Oregon export
butter market.
"Oregon creameries are now up
against the proposition of putting
quality into their butter or going out
of business," says V. D. Chapel, sec
retary of the Oregon Buttermakers'
association and head of dairy pro
duction at the state college.
The managers will be informed of
the methods of grading adopted at
the Portland meeting in time to put
them into effect by October 1. They
are urged to start now by churning
their good cresm separately. Also
to send lists of their patrons to the
federal dairy division at Washington
for dairy bulletins, and tell the col
lege dairy department their needs.
The western dairy division at Salt
Lake will go so far as to send an ex
nert to work with the dairymen for
two weeks on producing and handling
their quality cream.
The Dalles Band, 18
Pieces, for Rodeo
That there will be an abundance of
good music during the three days of
Ueooner's Kodeo, is now assured, ine
committee has secured the 18-piece
band of The Dalles, and they will
also have a big orchestra that will
furnish music for all of the dance
programs. This band has been in ex
istence for some time, is well equip
ped with a fine bunch of players, and
the visitors to the coming Kodeo will
be assured of splendid musical en
tertainment, and plenty of It.
There seems to be little left now
to be done In the completion of the
arrangements for the Rodeo, the man
agement havnig been busy all tne
while In retting the program in shape
and the grounds will be far better
than last year, with the new track
and rearrangement of the accommo-
datiom on Gentry field. And the best
of all, there li every promise that the
crowds attending the Rodeo this fall
will be much larger than last year,

has Interests In this county and spent
a day or so at the old home at Eight
Mile Center. He states that the peo
ple of Yamhill county are quite pros
perous this season. There was an ex
ceptionally fine crop of grain, and the
yieldi of fruits of all kinds exceeds
that of any previous year. Logan
berries were so unprofitable that hun
dreds of tons were allowed to go un
picked, while there is a prospect
that the big prune crop of that sec

when that pest did some real dam
age in Morrow county about 25 years

on Sand Hollow ranch that season,
and the boys becoming io disgusted
pulled up and went to the Willamette
valley on a visit. When they return
ed, however, the hoppers had pulled
up and left, there being nothing for
them in that vicinity to live on. Their
work was complete that season, and
while we have a good many hoppers
this year, they are nothing compared
with the plague of that year.

T?PCfrtion Oiven Tpacbers
By the Christian Church
A very p'easant social gathering
was he'd at the parlors of the Chris
tian church on Tuesday evening in
honor of the teachers of Heppner
Fchoola. Quite a number of new
teachers are on the force this season,
and these with the older teachers
were present to enjoy the fine lunch
eon prepared by the ladies of the
church, and to enrage with the pu
pils of the high school and members
and friends of the church in the gen
eral good social time.
The event was strictly of an in
formal nature, there being no set pro
gram, but regardless of this a splen
did good time was had and we are
quite sure the teachers were made to
feel that they were heartily welcome
to the city.
Under A Lucky Star
(Pendleton East Oregonian.)
The Umatilla rapids project was
evidently bom under a lucky star.
when the subject was first taken up at
a little meeting at Umatilla two years
ago and later at a larger meeting
held in Pendleton, few hoped for the
rapid progress that has been made.
The more the project has been
studied the better it seems. The
scheme is an attractive one and it
is so practical that those who learn
the facts at once become enthusiastic
over the possibilities. At first the be
lief was held it might take many
years to secure recognition for the
protect. But we secured quick action,
rot only from the Oregon legislature
but from eongreas. When the con
gressional appropriation for the sur
vey was made local people bad the
impression we had gotten through
congress in the back seat of the Col
umbia basin project's car. But dis
interested members of congress who
were in on the facts say such was not
the case. We were in the front seat,
they declare, and had It not been for
our move the uoiumDia Dasin Din
would not have carried.
With the federal survey actually
under way w-e have felt concedn as
to what the investigation might dis
close. We do not yet know as to the
chnracter of the damsite for the drill
ing work is just starting.
But we have already learned that
the power possibilities are greater
than was indicated by the Lewis sur
vey made at the instance of the pro
ject association. Instead of a 30 foot
dam a bO foot dam is possible. It
is believed from the preliminary stud
ies that have been made that the pro
ject can generate 175.000 contfnuou
horsepower or thereabouts instead of
only 125,000 horse power. The maxi
mum development during the Irriga
tion season may reach 800,000 horse
power.
In other words, the official survey
providing the damsite is found favor
able, will show the project better than
we supposed. Instead of overestimat
ing the possibilities we were under
estimating thorn. We have it on the
authority of Senator McNnry that the
project is more feasible than the
Muscle Shoals project on which the
government has expended many mil
lions. Certainly it looks like the gods are
with us In our plans. If fortune smiles
upon our work in the future as in the
past it will not he mnny years until
the project is hul't nnd a new d;y
will be at hand for this whole region.

IS YOUR WATER
SUPPLY SAFE?
State Board of Health Gives Meth
ods of Purification as Safe
guard for Tourists
FREDERICK D. STRICKER, M. D.t
Collaborating Epidemiologist.
At this season of the year when
tourists, campers, hunters and fisher
men are roaming at large in every
nock and corner of the State the
probabilities of an otherwise reason
ably aafe water ahed becoming pol
luted are greatly increased. It is
therefore advisable that extra pre
cautions be taken to safeguard
against a possible interruption of the
purity of your water.
There are three general methods of
water purification: first, sedimenta
tion or storage; second, filtration;
and third, chemical.
The method of stroage Is not safe
unless it be used in combination with
either chemical purification or filtra
tion. It is used in exceptional in
stances where an ample lake or re
servoir removed from the access of
human beings is available, and where
the water is practically free from
solid matter. Harmful bacteria do
not multiply naturally in clean wa
ter, and by keeping it stored for a
period of months before it is used
certain amount of purification takes
place.
The second method, that of filtra
tion is a fairly satisfactory method,
and if properly carried out at all
times produces a safe water supply.
ThiE is purely a mechanical process
and consists of passing the water
through a series of layers of sand of
varying sizes from small granules to
large pebbles, the entire series being
about six feet thick. This process on
ly removes the dirt and solids. This
method requires the construction of
special mechanical apparatus, and is
expensive for the small community.
The third or chemical purification
consists of the addition to the water
of some chemical that destroys the
germ life, or practically all of it, but I
is not harmful to the consumers of
the water. It fs generally acknow- j
ledged by scientific men that the most
satisfactory method of chemical pur-1
iftcation is by the process of chlorin-1
ation. That is by adding to the wa-1
ter minute quantities of chlorine or
its compounds. This process has be
come so general that it is now in
use in practically every city in the
country, with one or two rare excep
tions. In the larger cities it is used
in combination with the method of
storage or filtration. It has the ad
vantage of being inexpensive to in
stall and inexpensive to operate. It
is a practical method for the small
communities.
No community should depend en
tirely upon natural or mechanical
processes of obtaining pure water. At
some time or other there will occur
accidents to interrupt the continued
purity. At such a moment there
should be available for instantaneous
operation the adjunct of chemical
purification.
New Poo Studio
Will Be Open Soon
The new photograph studio of B. G.
Sigsbee will soon be open for busi
ness in the building now being ar
ranged for that purpose on Main
street.
Mr. Sigsbee is installing a com
plete gallery and will have one of the
best equipped studios to be found
anywhere when the place is opened
for business. He hopes to be in read
iness by Rodeo time, when all old pa
trons and many new ones as well can
be taken care of. The Sigsbee studio
will fill a need that has been keenly
felt at Heppner ever since the fire of
May, 1118, burned up his former gal
lery and equipment, and during which
time the city has been without a pho
tographer, except such as have visited
here intermittently.
APPLE ANTRACNOSE CONTROLED.
"
Apple tree anthracnose has been
brought under control in a large num -
Der oi orcnaras in western vregan
and the Hood River section by spray
ing in July or August with Bordeaux
mixture, says the plant pathologist at
the O. A. C. experiment station. Un
protected orchards in these districts
are likely to experience very serious
infections this fall as soon as rainy
weather begins, if Bordeaux mixture
is not applied at once. For the owner
of an anthracnose infested orchard
to delay his spray until after the fruit
is picked has proved to be a mistake.
This is too late to avoid the early fall
infections from which the most ser
ious damage results.

This Week
Move 9a pr erne Court Closer.
Two Great Anniversaries.
Great Man Coming.
Forests From the Air.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE "
Learned gentlemen of tre Bar As
sociation want the Unietd States Su
preme Court removed from Washing
ton "far from the influences of Con
gress which means the influence of
the people that elect Congress and
appoint Supreme Court judges
through their paid servant, the Pres
ident. Some citizens think the Supreme
Court fs quite far enough away from
the influence of the people already,
that ft would not do any barm to
bring it back a little closer.
Two great anniversaries approach:
Fifty years ago this week, the type
writing machine began its career,
saving time, increasing efficiency and,
most important of all, introducing
into business the good influence of
hundreds of thousands of women.
Fifty years ago Americans began
the manufacture of Portland cement,
which is, to building, what the type
writer is to business. For the first
ten years this country made only 36,
000 sacks of cement annually. Last
year the country used 470.000,000
sacks, and Amercian plants now pos
sess a capacity of 600,000,000 sacks.
Lloyd George will be here in a few
weeks. You will see and hear a real
man, when he comes. Without him
to manage England and her Allies in
the big war, putting England's armies
under Foch, supplying the Allies with
money and ammunition, William of
Kohen&oilcm would probably be still
Kaiser, and on a bigger scale, with a
newly captuied throne" for each of
his sons.
See and bear Lloyd George, if yoa
can. He is the greatest democrat that
Europe has produced since Cromwell,
and history will say so, whatever Tor
ies may say now.
Germans are building flying ma
chines for a 28-hour service between
Hamburg and New York. Real flying
is beginning.
Dr. Curtis, professor of botany, at
Columbia, says the destruction of our
forests may come in ten years.
Thanks to the flying machine that de
struction need not happen. Our 832,
000,000 acres of virgin forest have
been reduced to 140.000,000 acres. But
what men have cut down in centuries
fliers could replant, scattering seeds
from airplanes in four or five years
easily. Millions of acres of moun
tain land, cut off and burnt over could
Ibe replanted from the air and the
Agricultural Department should be
supplied with the men money, seeds
and machines to do it.
A distinguished senator suggests
buying one of the palaces in Berlin
for the United States ambassador.
Palaces in capitals for our democrat
ic ambassadors, to be paid for by
the people, are suggested serious' y.
There are several second hand crowns
drifting around Europe at bargain
prices. Why not get one of those
for each American ambassador? If
you must make an ass of yourself, do
it thoroughly.
Louis Chalif tells the American
Dancing Teachers Society that body
and brain are improved by dancing.
Nature knew it long ago. . The ani
mals danced, lizards, dinosaurs, jun
gle fowl, goats and monkeys, long
before man came. What Nature or
ders is wise.
One man in California cuts the
price of gasoline to six cents a gal
lon. That is war, of course. But
there isn't much comfort for the con
sumer in a few days of war and low
prices. When the big oil men kill
off the little fellows they will take
out of the consumers' pocket all that
I the price war costs and a little more.
