ft The Gazette-Times PUBLISHED WEEKLY AND DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF MORROW COUNTY Volume 41, Number 9. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1924. Subscription $2.00 Per Year MODEL IS Famous Hamilton Ranch Acquired by William V. Pedro. 5000 ACRES TRADED A. Henrikaen Swaps Alfalfa and G rat ing Lands for Umatilla Ranch; Wella Make Deal. The Hamilton ranch, famoui 4500 acre Morrow county stock ranch loca ted In a beautiful timber belt up Rhea creek 20 miles southeast of Heppner, has changed hands this time for sure. Clyde Wells, of the realty firm of Wells and Keithly of Pendle ton, closed the deal this week for lands aggregating in value $100,000, between A. Henriksen, owner of the Hamilton ranch, and William V. Pe dro of Pendleton. Mr. Henriksen traded 6000 acres of Morrow county land, including the Hamilton ranch and alfalfa land on Willow creek near Cecil to Mr. Pedro in exchange for a large tract of al falfa land just east of Pendleton. Mr. Pedro, it is understood, will stock the Hamilton ranch with sheep and en gage extensively in this business. He was formerly in the sheep business in Umatilla county and understands the business thoroughly. It has not been learned what Mr. Henriksen will do but it is presumed he will take charge of his new Umatilla county posses sions personally. All of Mr. Henriksen'a Morrow county holdings were included in the transaction with the exception of the Moore farm below Heppner, which he owns jointly with his son, Oral Hen riksen. Since coming to Morrow county some four years ago, Mr. Hen riksen had acquired large property holdings and has been extensively en gaged in both sheep and cattle rais ing. With ideal grazing pastures of high grass protected by some of Morrow county's very choicest stately ever greens, on even slopes and easy of ac cess, the Hamilton ranch has long been a stockman's paradise. The price stuff which Minor Bros., and others after them, have rolled on to the market from there has ever at tested to its superb qualities. And as its name has ever been connected with the progress of stockraislng in this county, so may its new owner thrive in proportion to its bounties. A few weeks ago Mr. Henriksen nearly completed the sale of the Ham ilton ranch to D. A. Watson of Cal ifornia, when it turned out that Mr. Watson was apparently merely using the deal as a means to dispose of some worthless checks. It was Mr. Henriksen'a opinion, however that such a place could not stay in the market long without a buyer, and his latest transaction proves his opin ion correct, A Bustneaa Boy. A subway train in New York was crowded. Suddenly it stopped with a jerk and alt the lights went out. When the lights came on again a young man started through the car shouting "Who lost a purse?" There was a chorus of "I did." "Then ad vertise it in the Times," he said. "I am an advertising solicitor and can give you a special rate." Oh, That's Different. Suitor: "I have long loved your daughter and I want to make her my wife." Wealthy Man: "But X have no daughter," Suitor: "Cat's Pajamas They told me you had a daughter." it SIX-CYLINDER LOVE" COMING Popular "Six Cylinder I,ove," W'llllnm Anthony McOulte's comedy Hint had a phenomenal 64 stTnlght weeks run In New York, luis hcen nelectpd to open Cliniitiiuqmi.

The Commencement of Heppner High school was held at the auditor ium in the school building on last Friday evening and was largely at tended. Prof. N. S. Cornish of Oregon Agricultural college delivered the ad dress to the class, and class and aud ience were well pleased. The strong points in the address of the speaker emphasized the principles of truth and honesty; no life being a success without these elements predominat ing and no time in the history of the world called for stronger adher ence to these principles than now. Mr. Comish also urged the graduates to go on to the completion of their education in higher institutions of learning, of which the state of Ore gon is well supplied. The address was strong and forceful and one of the best heard here in many years. Superintendent E. H. Hedrick pre sented the class in a neat speech, and then Chairman Woodson of the school board made a short and appropriate talk and presented the graduates with their diplomas, the class of 1924 con futing of the following: Dorothea Anderson, Hazel Ander son, Reid John Buseick, John Carl Cason, Francis J.

There was a meeting of number of the guarantors on Tuesday eveningnot nearly as large as it Bhould have been and prelim inary steps are under way for making the Chautauqua a success. Another meeting of the guarantors will be held soon, at which time it is hoped that the attendance will be large. There is but little time left In which to get everything ready. As the Chautauqua holds over the 4th of July, steps are being taken to have on that day, besides the regular program, additional attraction in the way of a celebration, and a committee will have this particular work in charge and will be prepared to make definite announcements shortly. It is understood that other towns of the county are making no plana to cel ebrate, and this arrangement will not conflict in any way with other com munities as a consequence. AGED WOMAN PASSES. Mrs. Emmazetta Smith, mother of Mrs. D. S. Barlow, Mrs. Jack DeVore and Emmctt Smith, died at the home of her son on Rhea creek early Tues day, May 27, following an illness of long duration.

Huston, M. D. Clark and Vawter Crawford sang two special pieces appropriate to the oc casion and a goodly audience was present. The members of the Grand Army of the Republic are few in Mor row county and on this occasion but three were present: N. S. Whetstone, commander of Rawlins Post, John C. Ball, adjutant, and C. A. Low, a mem ber from lone. Johnny Kenny was in town Tues-! day, lamenting somewhat over the fact that the much needed rain does not come. However, his grain is hold ing up well and in condition to be much benefitted if the showers hit the upper Sand Hollow section soon. This longing for rain on the part of the wheat raisers is beginning to get on their nerves but the weather man seems in no hurry to pour out his blessings. Fearing that our machin ery was running dry, Johnny stepped into the office and poured a little oil on the wheels. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Schafer and daughter of Waitsburg passed through Heppner yesterday, return ing to their home from a visit of two weeks in Seattle, and other Sound points. Mr. Schafer is a land owner in this county, having a wheat farm out Bouth of lone which he visited on this trip. He is also the head of the Preston-Schafer Milling company of Waitsburg and Athena and states that the entire wheat belt of the Northwest is suffering greatly from the continued drought. Vawter Crawford, accompanied by his mother Mrs. E. N. Crawford, daughter Miss Mary Crawford and Miss Leora Devin, departed early this morning by jitney for Joseph. The party will visit for a week at the home of O. G. Crawford, editor of the Joseph Herald, and while in Wallowa county Mr. Crawford will be escorted on a fishing trip to Ice lake, a beauti ful lake nestling high up in the Wal lowa mountains and hard of access, but a favorite retreat of the follow ers of Isaac Walton. Marshal Devin spent sometime yes terday in cutting away grass and weeds along the sidewalks on various streets in the center of town. He states that what he has done can be considered as an example to property owners who are admonished to go and do likewise, thus making the streets appear neat and clean and also do away with a fire menace.

There was no initiation or other special work, so after the regular routine of the lodge meeting, a num ber of Locust Chapter ladies who had "organised" Lodge No. 1 of lone, Fe male Masons, proceeded to open lodge ar.d give a demonstration of how fe male Masons work, and there was a half hour or more of fun acted out to perfection by those taking part. There was an initiation of two can didates, one of which proved to be a man who had presumed to "work In" on this organization, whose members were sworn to admit no man, and this broke up the meeting. The bur lesque was quits faultlessly present ed, and the costumes for the event were "killing." Following this, re freshments of sherbert, coffee and cake were served as a fitting climax to a very delightful evening. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Luttrel came over from Grass Valley on Saturday in response to a call announcing the very grave illness of Mrs. Luttrel's mother, Mrs. Mary Barton. Mrs. M. H. Fisher, daughter of Mrs. Luttrel arrived from Tacoma on Sunday eve ning to be present at the bedside of her grandmother. Mrs. Barton was taken suddenly very ill during the night on Friday and her condition has been quite critical since. At Lexington next Monday night the ladies of the Klan will hold their meeting. This is largely in celebra tion of the anniversary of the organi zation, and a program of entertain ment is being prepared. This meeting will be held in their hall and an in vitation is extended to all Klansmen to attend. H. A. Lindgren, sheep and wool specialist from Oregon Agricultural College, is spending several days in Morrow county this week making a check on the grade of wool being clipped. In company with Roper W.

Sargent, 1 miles east of lone on highway, Peter Bauenifiend, sage of Cecil was in the city Tuesday, looking after business matters. He will be going to the Ritter hot springs before long, which are to him a fountain of youth. Edw. Rictmann was in from the farm north of lone on Wednesday to get Mrs. Rietmaun and the new baby, who wore ready to return home from the hospital. LITTLE ACTIVITY IN Heppner Man Gets Best Price; Producers and Buyers Apart. So far as we are able to learn, there is no activity whatever in the Hepp ner wool market, and the indications at present do not point to any early selling. The trouble right cow ftp pears to be that the Duyers and pro ducers are too much separated as to price, and since the season opened there have been but very few sales. This condition seems to prevail throughout the entire northwest. The best price so far received has been by a Heppner man. Pat Connell dis posed of his clip at 39 cents, while other prices received have ranged from 30 to 38 cents. This is accord ing to the report in Tuesday's Ore gonian, which sizes up the present state of the wool market in the fol lowing: There is more activity in the wool market in the northwest and a some what irregular trend of prices. The aggregate amount of business done in the past two days, however, has not been large, probably less than 200,000 pounds, but in extent it compares fa vorably with the week preceding. The tone of the market also shows im provement, notwithstanding bearish news from the east. The most important development in the market was the sale of the Pat Connell clip at Heppner at 39H cents. TJealers here consider this ft strong price, especially as the market for some time past has shown every in dication of declining from the pre vious top level, which was around 38 cents. The other clips involved were taken at a wide range of prices, 30 to 38 cents. Some business, was done at Pilot Rock as well as in central Ore gon, and two small lots were sold fit Lewiston. Bids made on a large clip of Boise wool were turned down and the grow er intimated he would ship his wool to Portland for later sale. Some of the Lewiston growers are also con sidering storing their wool in Port land. Private advices from the east tell of the further closing down of mills. The government bulletin sent from Boston yesterday said: "The wool market has remained ac tive, with prices on domestic wool somewhat nominal. Foreign wools, ho we vex, ftre quite strong. Some of the leading houses say that a slight ly larger volume of these wools has been moved during the last week. The stocks available here are extremely limited in many lines, some of the houses being practically sold up." State Normal School Will Welcome Alumni Extensive plans are being made to welcome the alumni back to the Nor mal School during Commencement Week. Tuesday, June 10, is Alumni Day. The annual business meeting will take place in the afternoon and fol lowing this, at 6:30, a banquet will be held in the Oddfellows new hall. The program to the public will be given at 8:16 the same evening in the Normal Chapel, with Judge H. H. Belt of Dallas as speaker. The civic and commercial clubs of Monmouth are making arrangements to provide living accommodations for the alumni visitors. All graduates of the school are urgently requested to return and enjoy Normal hospitality again. HAS HANGING COMING. Dell AUstott states that there Is some young fellow that has a hanging coming for monkeying with the tele phone line running into town from his place. For some time .there has been a bad mix-up from out his way and from the Rugg ranch and the trouble could not be located. The Rugg line is No. 12 and the Allstott line is 13. The lines come together at the corner of the Wakefield place and reach Heppner on the one line of poles. A short distance from where the lines join on the same pole, this culprit, whoever he was, had run a wire from the Rugg line underneath the cross beam on a pole and connec ted it to the Allstott line on the other side hence all the trouble. Mr. Allstott found this Tuesday in going over the line, and removed the wire and thus got rid of the difficulty. In the meantime a doctor was badly wanted out that way and It was nec essary to ride to town for him. Any one that would thus mole?t the tel ephone line is mighty small, and Mr. Allstott thinks he has a hanging com ing. Earth Phenomena Alarms McKay Folk Residents of McKay creek were alarmed, about a month ago, at what seemed to be a slight earthquake and yet resembled an explosion. Investi gation revealed that during the night a slide or sink had occurred on a hill side, several acres of ground falling about 20 feet. The ground that set tled is covered with cracks and sev- oral large holes, the depth of which has not been determined. Apparent ly a subterranian cave "blew up from the force of air pressure within, the earth then falling into the hole. iev- eral local people have visited the place. Pilot Rock Record, Miss Gladys Benge of Lexington ac companied Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Benge to Walla Walla on Tuesday and after taking in the Pioneer Pageant will go on to Cheney, Wash., to attend the summer school of the Eastern Washington state normal school. Born, on Sunday. May 25th, 1024, at their home on Balm Fork, to Mr, and Mrs. Chas, Osmin, it daughter, Good Program Coming to Heppner Chautauqua Replete fa Nation's Beat Talent In Drama, Music and El oca t ion Entertainment Unexcelled. Are you a Mollusc? News just received by the local Chautauqua association contains the announcement that this, question will be answered during Chutauqua week. The clever comedy "The Mollusc' by Hubert Henry Davies is to be pre sented here by the Clarke-Browne players of New York. Laurette Browne, well known Broadway act ress, appears in the title role. Of equal Importance is the an nouncement that the ply "Six Cyl inder Love" will open the Chutauquft here this season, the dates being June 30 to July S. Seldom do we find two plays on one Chautauqua pro gram and this alone is sufficient to insure a record attendance. Wher ever there are automoblies, the 'com edy "Six Cylinder Love" is ft tremendous- hit for an automobile is the villain and it certainly raises havoc with two young couples. Through the medium of a thousand hearty laughs, humorous situations and clev er lines, this villain delivers the best little lesson on extravagance yet of record. v Names prominent fn different lines of endeavor are noted in the list of lectures. Dr. E. T. Hagerman is ftn inspirational lecturer whose famous lecture-talk, "The Man With One Window," won first place in'the vote on one of the large Eastern circuits last season. Dr. Hagerman illustrates his lecture with humorous anecdotes and personal experience which re minds many of "Honest Abe" Lincoln, and he plays on the feelings of his audience as an organist does on the keys of his instrument. Bagdaaar K. Baghdigian is a native of Armenia who came to this country to escape Turkish persecution, and his address, "The Making of an American," will make many native born citizens blush with shame that an adopted son can bring to them such high ideals of cit izenship. Dr. Homer B, Hulbert will give two informative and interesting lectures on the Far East. For twenty years he lived in Korea and is per haps best known to the world as an advocate of the Korean government against the usurpations of Japan. H. Leo Taylor believes that the hope of the nation lies in the boys of toa'ay and his plea "Give the Boy ft Chance" will strike a responsive chord in ev ery heart. An exceptional variety in musical and entertainment features are no ted: Going-Bell-Emerson Company; Vernon Symphonic Quintet; Frank L. Cowan, American tenor; Australian Artists Trio; The Davies-Quallen En tertainers, and McDonald Birch, in artistic magic. Scout Troop Off For Camp in Mountains The Boy Scout troop went out to their mountain camp on Monday where they will spend ten days in enjoying camp life and getting ex perience that comes to them in no other way. They were taken to the camp by members of the Elks lodge who loaded the boys into their cars and landed them at their destination in pretty short order. The camp is right near the Hamilton ranch and the boys will be in the charge of Scoutmaster Livingstone, 24 of them being in the company. The bedding, equipment and commissary were de lve red at the camp in the big truck of Frank Turner's, and it looked like the boys might be going on ft camping trip of weeks, judging from the am ount of provisions piled on to the truck. They are all pretty husky lads, however and possess man sized appetites that will only be sharpened by their camping experi ence, and the scoutmaster states that it might be well for the visitors at the camp to bring along their own eatables that the larder of the Scouts will only be sufficient for their needs. Visitors will be welcomed, however. Photographer Sig?bee secured ft fine picture of the troop at the head of Main street, before they boarded the cars. They were a happy bunch of boys and expect to have a grand time. IS SOME SNAKE CHARMER. Among other accomplishments pos sessed by Frank Harwood, jeweler, is that of snake charmer, and the evi dence of this Is a small rattler he has been displaying at his place of busi ness this week. Mr. Harwood cap tured this varmint the other evening while on a visit to the old school house spring on the hill east of town. Frank sat down beside the spring and there, directly at his hand, was Mr. Rattlesnake, calmly curled up but ap parently unaware that anyone was near. Just a little startled, Mr. Har wood moved back a safe distance, and decided to capture the snake. Getting ft glass jar the reptile was finally in duced to take refuge therein and was brought to the Harwood store where he has been n object of interest since. On examination it was reveal ed that the reptile had but one eye. and his blind side was evidently next to Mr. Harwood when he sat down at the spring, otherwise the result might have been painful to the jew eler. The snake has five rattles and a button. LEGION TANK STARTED. Excavation was started this week on the Legion swimming tank on the property given the local post by W. B. Barrntt. Work will be pushed as rapidly as possible and three weeks time should find them ready for use, When completed the tank wilt be divided into two parts, the larger for use of the grown-ups and the smaller for the kiddies. The Legion boyi have already started the sale of sea son tickets, the price being $6. There is no limit to the number of swims which may be taken for this amount. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Sweek and Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Hedrick will motor to East Lake to spend this week-end in getting some of the big fish. They expect to return home about Monday. ROBERTS HEAVES WAY TO NEAR WIN Loses Hard Game On Error After Having It Pocketed. EGG CITY WINS 5-4 Opponent. Get Decisive Score Ninth After Being Shot Out Till 8iith Inning. In Ion. took little the edge of the breaks on their home field Sunday end won from Heppner 5-4. Th. lo cal, took things their own way for the first five innings, ana tnings con tinued very bright well into the sixth when with two gone lone had not yet tallied. Then it was two men got on bases and an overthrow by Crawford to first allowed two men to score. Another hit in the same frame allow ed another man across home plate ana lone led for the first time 3-2. Heppner made her first two scores in the third inning. It was nip and tuck then with the score tied In the ninth when lone came to bat and ran in the decisive counter. The bulk of the honor for the lo cals is due Freddie Roberts, Hepp- ner's freckled faced boy pitcher from Portland. Aside from pitching like a veteran and fielding his position in league style in every instance, it was his club which was responsible for the bulk of Heppner"s runs, three, to be exact. Fate has surely decreed against Freddie, for by the brand of ball he has delivered in every game so far he has been entitled to a clean slate of wins instead of only one. The game was the closest and best played seen in the league this season, according to many fans at Sunday's contest Fred Roberts kept the lone batters well under control and allow ed but seven hits, struck out ten bat ters and walked but two. Thornton heaved 'em across for Egg City till the middle of the eighth when he was replaced by Roche. Thornton allowed but seven hits, struck out seven bat ters and walked four. Roche allowed one hit and struck out one batter. Errors were few on both sides, each being marked with three. Fred Roberta made the longest drive of the game, a three-bagger which scored two runners. "Dutch" McPherrin made the best average with three hits out of five timer at bat. All of Dutch's pood work was not done at the bat either, for aside from holding Roberts up like a big leaguer, he made it warm for oppos ing runners who endeavored to steal bases, cutting two runners off at sec ond. A "white hope" on the Heppner line-up Sunday was Pete Hughes in center field. Pete sure looked good on a hard chance at a fly ball which he grabbed, and promises to be a second Babe Ruth at the bat. He socked a two-bagger and a aingle at four times at bat. Fans say, and we think wisely, that the aggregation Heppner put on the diamond Sunday is the best combina tion seen at work in any game this season. The management has arrang ed a game here with Arlington, Mem orial Day, and promises that there will be no disappointment to anyone as the home boys are going good. Another game on the local field is scheduled with Condon for Sunday. As the local bait treasury is depleted a good attendance would be greatly appreciated by the management, who in return promise value received.
