await their mounts, and a large band
of mules are ready to dump their
riders.
A big array of local eowpunchers,
all noted for their skill in the saddle,
will make a fierce attempt at con
quering the string of outlaws. Jack

Bears Cause Sheepmen
Trouble in Mountains
Radio Installed on Top of Arbackle;
Other Forest Items of Interest
from Gurdane District
Bears are giving the sheepmen of
the Potamus and Ditch Creek regions
much trouble. The bears are quite
numerous and, since there are no
huckleberries, they are raiding the
sheep camps. One of Bob Thompson's
camps has been raided twice; upon
th laat visit the camp waa com
pletely wrecked. Minor k Krebs
camp waa visited and a half of mut
ton and a email sack of apples eaten
but no other damage was done. Mar
tin Stewart, herder for B. B. Kelly,
said that bears were bothering his
sheep nearly every night. On one
occasion an old bear with two cubs
attacked the aheep and In spit of
every effort to drive her away she
killed three.
On another occasion a bear kill
ed a sheep near the tent. Government
trapper Roosa has out a number of
bear traps and baa caught two beara
during th week.
The Western route road crew has
reached Kelly Prairie with the slash
ing. Due to the extreme dryness no
burning has been done during the
last week. The brush is being piled
and will be burned as soon as wet
weather makes it safe. It is hoped
that alashing will be completed to
th junction with tha Heppner- Rit
ter road this season. Then next sum
mer the stumps will be pulled and
the roadbed graded.
A road on easy grade haa been
completed right up to th tower on
Arbuckle mountain. The roadbed is
still quit soft and a heavy rain is
needed to pack it The work was
done by R. A. Culick, lookout man,
at odd timea when conditiona permit
ted him to leave the lookout tower.
R. A. Culick now has a radio at the
lookout on top of Arbuckle mountain.
It waa recently brought in and in
stalled by K. P. Cecil. Owing to the
clarity of the atmosphere at the high
elevation the music and talks come
in strong and clear. It ia proving
to be quite an attraction to other
forest officers and campersr. This
is the second radio on the Western
division; Clarence Bisbee of Dixon
ranger station having installed one
some time ago.
Fred Peterson, government trapper
from Ukiah, waa over his trap lines
in this district this week and re
ports that his catch la very satis
factory so far this month. His trap
line does not extend into th region
troubled by bears; his catch being
confined to cats and coyotes.

Morrow Co. Pioneer
Paul Hialer Succumbs to Tuberculo

Portland Hoepital
Another of the old-time residents
of Morrow county has been called to
his final reward in the person of
Paul Hisler, who, for years, success
fully engaged in the stockraising bus
iness in thia county and accumulated
on of the best aheep ranches in the
Butter creek section. For more than
three yeara past Mr. Hialer had been
ailing from tuberculosis of the bone
and for a while it was thought that
he was gaining in health. For the
most of two years past he had been
spending the greater portion of the
time under treatment at Portland,
and It waa thought that he was mak
ing gaina toward restoration of his
health. A turn for the worse came
on Thursday evening last when he
was taken with a violent hemorrhage
and soon pasaed away.
The remaina were shipped to Hepp
ner and on Sunday afternoon the
funeral waa held from the Christian
church in thia city, Rev. W. O. Liv
ingstone, pastor, deliverring the fun
eral address. A very large attendance
of frienda and old-time neighbors of
Mr. Hialer were present to attest the
high esteem in which be was held in
his home community. Burial was in
Masonic cemetery beside the grave of
his wife who departed this life sev
eral yeara ago.
Paul Hialer was a native of Alsace
Lorranie and came to America when
but a boy aeventeen years of age.
He landed at Portland, and about a
year later cam to Morrow county,
going to work for E. F. Day, who at
that time waa on of th largest flock
masters and land owners of the coun
ty. After working for Mr. Day for
a number of years, Mr. Hisler went
into the business for himself, pur
chasing one of th Day sheep ranches
on Little Butter creek. He retired
from active business about ten years
ago and removed to Heppner with his
family, having purchased property
here, where he continued to reside
until hi death. He retained his ranch
interests, however, the lands being
leased to other sheepmen of the county-Mr.
Hisler was married in Febru
ary, 1906, to Miss Minnie McCullough,
who died in January, 1913. To this
union two children were born, Mar
guerite and Paul, Jr., and these, with
a sister, Mra. John McCullough, sur
vive. At an early age Mr. Hisler
joined the Presbyterian church in
his horn land, and he was ever true
to his religious convictions. He was
also a member of Willow Lodge No.
66, L O. O. F. of this city.
Dr. C. C. Chick returned on Wed
nesday evening from a visit to Eu

GOES TO PORTLAND
Removed From Pendleton, and
Will Be Held in Metropolis
at Time of the Stock Show.
The Northwest Hay and Grain show
which ha i been held in Pendleton in
connection with the Round-Up for the
past two years haa been taken oyer
by the Pacific International Livestock
Exposition at Portland, and will be
held in connection with their land
products show November 3 to 11.
There are many advantages that will
come to the exhibitors as a result of
the change. The eash premium list
will be increased to approximately
$2500. Heretofore there has been a
relatively small attendance at the
show. The livestock exposition has
an annual attendance of over 100,000.
Last year Morrow county made a very
creditable showing at the show in
Pendleton and it is hoped to make a
better one at Portland this year.
The following arrangements have
been made for getting grain down to
the show: Any farmer who has a
good lot of wheat and would like to
send in an exhibit to the show may
bring in a sack of it to the ware
house and notify the County Agent
that he has left it for him. This will
then be sent to Portland and cleaned
and recleaned and exhibited under
the owner's name. There is a large
quantity of extra good wheat in the
county this year and Morrow county
should make an exceptional showing
at the show.

This Week
A Giant Airfish.
Mr. Eel-Worm Here.
The Devil's Ink Stain.
Your Eye and Auto.
E By ARTHUR BRISBANE
The United States built a giant dir
igible, in ENGLAND. It fell, killed
62. Another, built in ITALY, fell,
killed 84. Last week, the United States
Zeppelin, ZR-1, built HERE, by the
American Government, flew over New
York and started for Philadelphia,
having first traveled 100 miles over
New Jersey. Those who think the
Government can't do anything and
must always hire private assistance,
take notice.
That great machine, looking like a
silver coated fish, slowly traveling
through the air above New York, was
a warning to the six millions of that
city, and the whole country.
In the morning, with the sun ob
scure rd by clouds, the air giant was
barely visible. Had the captain chos
en to go a few thousand feet higher,
it would hare been absolutely invisi
ble. Such a traveler coming out of the
misty dawn, above the edge of the
ocean, would first make itself known
by dropping enough bombs to destroy
New York, enough deadly gas to kill
three-quarters of the inhabitants.
The next war will be an air war.
This country should be ready for it
Important. Bad news for farmers

rado and other States, should fight
this enemy at they would Asiaic ehol
era. The tiny deadly pest might cost
farmers hundreds of millions yearly.
Yesterday you could buy a thousand
million marks for $100. In 1914, one
thousand million marks were worth
$250,000,000. German money, then
worth two and one-half million dol
lars, is worth $1 now. That's what
war does when you lose. But that
won't discourage the next-war-hke-nation.
The castle of Wartborg is closed
for lack of money to keep it in repair.
The public can no longer see the
room in which Luther translated the
Bible, nor the big black spot on the
wall made by him when he threw the
inkwell at the devil.
American Lutherans perhaps will
contribute to repairing the old castle
and supply ink to freshen up the ink-
stains, which have doubtless been
made fresh many a time in the past.
It Is a pity to let old stories die.
American school children saved
$9,500,000 in the last school year.
The money is nothing, the saving
habit is everything.
To teach children that poverty is
slavery, and can be avoided by rea
sonable saving, Is the first duty of
parents. The second duty is to teach
children that after they have saved, j
they must help others. '

Exercise your eye muscles, and
avoid automobile accidents. That's
the advice given by Dr. Needles.
When you are in a car going forty
miles an hour, you go about fifty
eight feet every second. Unless your
eye can roll from one aide to the
other at least twice in a second, you
can't keep track of both sides of the
road and travel safely at that speed.
Prizefighters, fliers, automobile driv
es, all require eye exercises to stren
gthen the eye muscles. At best, they
get weak with old age. And a closed
car requires better eyes than an open
car.
The Prince of Wales, under the
name of Baron Renfrew, is in Can
ada resting. In spite of his disguise
a crowd met him when he arrived.
The English know the value of Can
ada now, and in future. The real
England may be Canada some time,
with the British Isles maintained as
a central business office in Euope.
As the great Roman Empire saw
the seat of power change from Italy
to Constantinople, so Britons of an
other century may see their imperial
Parliament and whatever is left of
the royal family transplanted in Mon
treal or Australia.
CARE OF THE EYES.
Dr. Clarke of the Clarke-
rifmBrower Optical Co., 112
Sixth street, Portland,
will be at the Hotel Heppner all day
and evening, Thursday, Oct. 4.
If you or your children are having
trouble with your eyes, it would pay
you to see him. It will cost you noth
ing for the examination.
We never recommend glasses un
less required, but should you need
them, our modern scientific method
of eye examination will give the best
results.
Dr. Clarke will mnke regular trips
to Heppner hereafter. Auv.

At yet there remaina more than
half of Morrow county's quota to be
raised for the Japanese relief fund.
and at report from the headquarters
of the Morrow County Red Croat re
veals the fact that the response U
slow, and many communities are yet
to be heard from.
Heretofore, our people have been
prompt in responding to the call for
need, and it must be that they do not
folly realize the gTeat necessity of
helping Japan In this her hour of
great disaster and suffering. Many
of the adjoining communities and
counties report their quotas fully
raised, and in some instances more
than was asked has been provided.
Up to September 25, Mrs. Emmet
Cochran, chairman, reports the funds
raised in this county as follows:
City of Heppner $150.00

Wheat Ia Wanted.
Donations of wheat, as stated
above, will be gladly accepted. It U
suggested by Mrs. Cochran that there
could be no finer advertisement for
Morrow county than the shipping of a
car of wheat right through to San
Francisco, and this could be realixed
by each farmer donating from one to
two sacks. At San Francisco this
wheat would go onto the relief ship
direct to Japan, being placarded all
the way through as Morrow county
wheat. It Is a fine idea and should
work out. "Come on; let's go! Eh?
What?" The following donations of
wheat have so far been made, and if
you wish to join in on this, leave your
wheat at your local warehouse, with
instiuctions that it be turned over to
the Morrow County Red Cross chan
ter, v ho will see that it reaches it
proncr destination, and that you have
credit. Come, join in with these:
Brown & Lowry, 5 sacks.
Heppner Elevaor CoH 6 sacks.
Buschke Bros., 5 sacks.
The Way Irrigon Did It,
Here's the way to do things. Coma
on. Figure out your per cent of quota
and get it. Five thousand people fn
Morrow county and our quota is $025.
This is the way Irrigon did her bit,
and is expressed in this interesting
letter from the little city in tha irri
gation district:
"Irrigon, Ore., Sept 22, 1323.
"Mrs. Emmet Cochran, Chairman
Red Cross, Heppner, Ore.
"Dear Mrs. Cochran:
"Enclosed find check for $35.00 for
Japanese Relief Fund. We have not
had time to make thorough canng of
this district but have collected some
of this, total $15.00, and five of us

I am enclosing my check for the full
amount. We will, however, solicit
again and then fill in our parts equal
ly to make up the difference. Will
mail you list of donors when this is
done and additional funds if any such
be collected. Yours very truly,
