THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1923. PAGE FIVE jappcmnq Another heavy rain on Monday night, followed by a big wind on Tuesday that came near putting the electric light plant and telephone eyitem out of commisHion. Power wai rather intermittant from the elec tric light plant and lomt of ui fellows who depend on the juice had to sus pend operations for a few hours until the wind died down. The frequent soakings that this section of the coun try has received of late is keeping many of the farmers back with theit seeding, and they are now hoping for fairer weather for a season. Thi may come following the heavy wind of Tuesday, but we are no weather prophet. 3, O. Turner, who was in town a short whlie on Monday, reports that the heavy rain and hail at his place north of SwHggart buttet hut week did considerable damage to hia sum merfallow in places, washing ditches through the fields and leaving much of his grain, that was coming up nicely, standing high and dry. There was a lot of hail with the rain, and this packed the ground. William C. Lacy came up from Portland on Saturday and is spending a few days in this locality, looking after business in connection with his land holdings at the head of Black horse and enjoying a visit with friends and old cronies. Mr. Lacy has had to take back his farm, and we understand that he has leased the same to 0. T. Ferguson of Sand Hol low, A. L, Ayers, Chas. Avers and Arthur McAtee were in the mountains for a few days this week, endeavoring to get their share of the buck deer run ning on the preserves. They saw some deer and got a few shots but landed nothing according to the report of A. L. Ayers, who chaperoned the party. A big rain storm was' their chief con solation. Anthony Helms, who has for years been the efficient editor of the Senti nel at Mitchell, Oregon, died at his home in that city on the 10th inat. Mr. Helms had been a resident of Wheeler county for a great many years and was a pioneer of the Mitch ell section, Cecil C. Sargent, a young fanner of the lone country wus a visitor here on Tuesday. Mr, Sargent has just recently moved onto the BaUiger place just above lone, where he con templates following the dairy busi ness to some extent. Henry Peterson was in Heppner over Tuesday night from his farm on Eight Mile. He states that his crop of wheat is all delivered to the ware house, and that the fall seeding is completed and the new crop coming on in fine shape. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Padberg were In town Monday from their Heppner Flat farm. John stated that too much rain was keeping him back with hi seeding but thought it would come out all right, once the grain was in the ground. Charles Canon, of Lone Rock, is visiting this week at the home of his brother, John Chhoii, in this city. Mr. Caaon, who is a Baptist minister, preached for Bethel chapel congrega tion on last Sunday morning. Mrs. M.

Safe Road Lighting of the Next Decade Cure or Glare Seea In Permanent Road Lights. "Legislate against the glaring head light field," says the motorist. But legislation doesn't cure the evils of glare, mainly because the law which cuts down the glare so it is "safe" al so cuts down the light so much that its use fs unsafe. Comparatively speaking, glareleas lights can be, and are made, but their use requires a scientific adjustment of the lens, reflector and lamp, each to each and the whole to the running plane of the car. Such an adjustment does not remain permanent; varia tion in tire pressure alter it, and jars, jolts and looseness of parts alter the relations of the lamp and reflect or. f or the present, Detter designs of lenBcs, fc i enter strictnetts in regula tion as to tilt of headlights, and new er and better designs of headlights must be depneded upon to minimise if not to cure the evil. But In the future, the complete cure will come in lighted highways. A hundred years ago cities were un lighted, or, if lighted at all, were very poorly illuminated. In thous ands of small towns today the street lamps are so few and far between that the neighbor pays his evening visit equipped with a lantern. Yet our cities are well lighted, so well light ed that the "glare" trouble of head lights is easily solved by forbidding in cities any but signal headlights! Exactly as the Post Office Depart ment maintains beacons to guide its mail fliers at night, ao will the Na tional Government eventually light its national highways at night. With the volume of traffic which will in evitably flow over national highways between great centers, it will be more economical to light them from the side, than to permit the motorist to light his own section of the road with an illumination which cuases accidents. "Saturation Point" of Motors Is Far Distant Neither I'leasare Nor Commercial De velopment Near End. That the country may become "sat urated" with automobiles, after which buying will be restricted to a predict able amount based on cars wearing out and the increase of population, hai been a bUKbear to alarmists in the trade for several years. Statistics do not bear out these fears. According to the American Automobile Association, in all but 9 States, material increases were shown in number of motor vehicles register ed during the six months' period of 1!23 over the entire year's registra tions of 1922. With six months yet to go on, the record of 1923 in all States will exceed that of 1922. The State of Ohio climbed up to second place in total number of mo tor vehicles registered, changing places with California. New York again leads, with'a total registration during the six months' period of 1, 025,718 motor vehicles. Ohio is sec ond, with 965,000, and Californai third with 933,808. Pennsylvania is fourth with 933,062; Illinois fifth with 833, 920; Michigan sixth, with 624,590, and Texas seventi., with 671,981. The to tal number of motor vehicles regis tered in all of the States during the six months' period was 13,002,427, as against 12,238,376 for the entire year of 1922. This shows a healthy growth, which is always an indication of demand far beyond that of saturation. But the real reason for thinking that the satu- If a McCormack Header is your choice, buy it now.

DR. CONOER TAKES DC MP. According to word received in Heppner, Doctor Conder wai the vic tim of an accident on last Friday morning, that fortunately did not re mit very seriously. He was driving to Echo with a load of grain on his Ford truck, and had reached the mar ket road at Jarmons. Noting that a sack of grain near the seat was slip ping, he attempted to adjust it with out stopping the machine, and about the time he made a back handed lift on the bag of grain, the truck plung ed off the grade, and seeking to save himself, hut Jumped and landed in the gravel on the top of his "dome." Percy J arm on, who witnessed the ac robatic performance, ruthed to hii assistance and picked him op, but f mnd that no serious injury had re r.uited, though he wan bleeding pro fusely from the wounds to his scalp. No damage wax done to his truck, as it remained right side op. BETHEL CHAPEL 19 THANKFUL.
