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,

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

THE
Chautauqua Dates Are
June 30th to July 5th
The dates for the Heppner Chau
tauqua are June 30 to July 5th, in
clusive, and from this time on it
should be the big event in the minds
of our people. 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.

day forenoon by appropriate services.
Rawlins Poet G. A. R. and the W. R.
C. were represented, and the Boy
Scouts also attended in a body. Rev.
W. O. Livingstone, pastor of the
church, delivered the address and a
quartette, consisting of Mrs. Chester

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

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

Ruth Chapter Members
Visit Locust Lodge
By invitation of Locust Chapter No.
119, Order of Eastern Star of lone,
36 members of Ruth Chapter No. 32
of Heppner visited them at their reg
ular meeting on Tuesday evening, and
wererVg-ht royally entertained.
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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
