Aa movement of tht 1926 wheat
crop into Heppner warehooaea naara
completion receipt! indicate a three
fourthi normal yield for thia lec
tion. Receipt at the preient time
total over 300,000 bushela, and it it
the belief of warehouie menage
that the final load will have railed
thia figure to 850,000. The average
total poduction of thia locality ia
around 600,000 buhela.
Practically none of thia year'i orop
naa been put on the market, the
wheat being stored in the local ele
vator and warehouses awaiting more
favorable pTice quotation!. There
was little contracting last fall, and
the market has been so unsteady since
harvest, with the general trend down
ward, that there haa been no Incentive-
to sell. However, quotations
from Portland and Chicago the past
few days indicate a reversal of this
situation, and more lively selling is
looked for before long.
From yesterday's Oregonian we
glean the following:
"A firm feeling continued in the
local wheat market yesterday and
prices were again advanced. There
were a number of bids of tl.M for
club with a possibility of $1.37 be
ing obtained. Other classes of wheat
were alio moving in a small way.
Reports from the country show no
more disposition of the farmers to
sell than heretofore. In most of
the districts only a small part of
the crop has been sold to date. Bids
at the Merchants Exchange were
ICqSe higher than Monday.
"Wheat took a big upward swing
at Chicago largely as a result of
storms that stopped threshing and
that aroused fresh anxiety relative
to possible shotage of the United
Statei supplies east of the Rockies.
Final quotation! were strong at the
top figures of the day, S 1-4 6 1 8c
net advance. In connection with un
usual threshing delays, It was pointed
out that nearly 81,000,000 bushels of
wheat have been exported from -the
United States since July 1 and that
notwithstanding the total Is much
smaller than at this time last year,
the proportion is turpriiing in cor-
trast with the relatively email sur
plus for 1926. Under such circum
stances, reports of continued unfav
orable weather in Canada and in the
spring wheat states northwest sent
the market kiting. New estimates
that Canada has raised more than
400,000,000 bushels in the prairie
provinces as sgsinst 235,000,000 bu
hels last year failed entirely to
check the upward sweep of values.
Indications thst European continen
tal stocks are low added Impetus to
the buying movement and so did re
ports that something akin to drouth
was developing in Australia, India
and Argentina.
"Liverpool futures closed liZi2A
higher. Broomhall cabled: 'Liverpool
wheat' opened firm with shorts cover
ing, due to Csnsdian and Plate offers
at 1 shilling advance over yesteday's
late sales. The cancellation of sev
eral steamers at Black Sea ports and
the dry weather In northern India and
parts of Australia caused some buy
ing. The heavy Canadian receipts
and awing by importers caused some
selling, traders becoming nervous. An
official report from New South Wales
said that the wheat acreage la reduced
by 614 per cent. Dryness complaints
are increasing.'
"The depsrtment of commerce
places the domestic wheat .exports
from July 1 to October S at 23,231,000
bushels and flour exports during the
same time at 1,649,000 barrels. This
indicates that United States exports
of wheat since July have been 30,651,
000 bushels, and while the total Is
much smaller than at thia time last
year, the showing is a fair one in
view of the modest available surplus
this year.
"Russells ssys: 'The fact that so
much wheat has been exported from
east of the Rockies out of a very
small surplus Is extremely interest
ing. Unless the government has ma
terially underestimated the crop east
of the Rocklts, the possibility of im
ports of Canadian wheat later in the
season looms up as an extremely in
teresting possibility'."
Considering the fact that practic
ally the entire fall crop in Morrow
county was frozen out last winter,
necessitnting reseedlng last spring,
the yield was much larger than anti
cipated before harvest. Though fair
ly good spring rains were had they
were followed closely by hot winds
and It was expected grain would be
badly shriveled. In spite of this,
there is an abundance of first grade
wheat, say warehousemen, and none
of the wheat was as badly hurt as
was feared in the early season.
What, with the exceptional crop
outcome and the evident market pick
up, local grain dealers are anticipat
ing a lively movement locally in the
near future.

P
XlTTSBURGH won today's game
8 to 2 in the World's Series when
Cuyler's homer in the eighth
scored Carey ahead of him, ac
cording to radio reports received
by Maurice Frye, local radio deal
er. The Pirates' other run came
in the fourth inning, a homer by
Wright. Washington's two tallies
were scored by Judge with a hom
er in the aecond inning, and Mc
Neeley, running for J. Harris, on
a long fly by Beach.
The game was close throughout,
except for the Pirate rally in the
eighth, and the threatening attack
of the Senatore in the ninth when
Aldrich pitched himself out of a
bad hole after filling the bases
with the first three batters. Two
errors by Peckinpaugh, Senator
shortstop, were partly responsible
for the extra Pirate score in the
eighth.
Batteriea were: Washington,
Koveleski and Ruel; Pittsburgh,
Aldrich and Smith.
The radio report was sent out
by KGW, Portland Oregonian's
broadcasting station, from the of

LOCAL K ITEMS
T. M. Moyer of Merrill, Oregon, has
been spending the week at Heppner,
looking arter his interests here. Mr.
Moyer owns a large tract of good
wheat land in the Blackhorse section,
which for a number of yeara has
been farmed on the lease plan. As
a resident of Klamath county, Mr.
Moyer states that things are some
what on the boom down that way and
he looks for Klamath Falls to become
the leading Eastern Oregon city be
fore long.
M. R. Morgan, prominent lone resi
dent, was doing business here on
Wednesday. Mr. Morgan states that
there is a lot of wheat unsold in his
section and the farmers are awaiting
a rise in the price before letting go.
These who took advantage of the
price offered at the opening of the
season are much to the good in Mr.
Morgan's opinion, and it happened he
was not among that number.
Delbert Clabough spent a couple of
days in Heppner the first of the week,

Work Starting on New
Lumber Mill at Once
The construction of a new lumber
ing mill on the site of the old Slocum
mill on upper Riiea creek will be un
dertaken at once, .according to word
given out here this week. Material
arrived from Portland by truck on
Friday, and more is to follow.
Messrs. H. G. Hartshorn, Jas. Chris
tenson and J. M. Donahue are the men
on the job now, these gentlemen go
ing out to the mill site on Sunday.
Mr. Christenson is the millwright in
charge, so we are informed, and the
other men are assisting him with the
preliminary work of construction. A
mill of 25,000 feet per day is to be
built as the first unit, and we under
stand that if a suitable site can be
secured a planer will be installed at
Heppner, the object being to cater
aa much as possible to the local lum
ber trade.
H. H. S. Defeats
Class Scrap
Hermiston high's football team went
down to a 12-0 defeat at the hands of
the Heppner eleven last Saturday.
Heppner gained a lead In the second
quarter and kept it the rest of the
game. Aiken and Stout scored the
touchdowns.
The game would probably have been
scrappier had there been a larger
number of rooters. The few who
were there yelled mightily, but a
larger turnout would have been a big
asset to the team.
Last Thursday Ave of the school
boys Journeyed to the mountains in
one of Jeff Jones' tracks to get a pen
nant pole for the future Freshman
Sophomore pennant scrap. The pole
is of tamarack, 39 feet high and 8Vi
inches in diameter at the bottom.
The lower end of it has been tarred so
aa to make it last longer in the
ground. It haa had all the bark
shaved off ami will soon be raised for
the nght. The rules have been changed
this year to make the light more even.
Only the sophomores are allowed to
compete with the "freshics." The
light will probably occur within a
couple of weeks.
The freshmen began their tedious
grind of marking off thefootball Held
Saturday. They were not very well
represented, since there were only five
out besides the few upperclassmen.
There will be three plays and an
operetta this year, according to the
schedule. Mr. Smith states that the
first play, to be given by the senior
class, will be started in a short time,
possibly about six weeks. Mr. Smith
and Miss Dcnn will direct it, Snmple
plays have been sont for by the se
niors. The student body will then
give a -play, followed in the next se
mester by the operetta and junior
play.

Remembered by Members
Of His Old Regiment
John C. Ball, Grand Army veteran
of Heppner, was remembered the past
week by receiving a long letter from
the members of his old regiment, who
met in annual reunion at Columbus,
Ohio, on the third Thursday of Sep
tember. On this date each and every
year the members of the 113th Ohio
Regiment who can possibly do so,
gather at the Ohio state capital and
enjoy the rehearsal of old war days,
when the boys of '61 went forth to
fight for the preservation of the na
tion.
Mr. Ball states that but. one mem
ber of his company was present on
this occasion, Jos. Jackson, and s
far as he knows now, but three mem
bers of the comnany besides himself
still live. He has never seen sny of
them since the close of the war, and
the last meeting with members of his
company was following the battle of
Chicamagua. Mr. Ball entered the
service at the age of 18 years and
was severely wounded in action, as
was his old comrade, Jackson. As a
rule, following every annual meeting
of the regiment, letters are sent to
the absent members, and Mr. Ball is
very frequently remembered in this
manner. A number of photographs
were enclosed in the letter to Mr.
Ball at this time, and these reveal to
him the fact of the ever thinning
ranks of the veterans of the war of
the rebellion. At this gathering but
12 members of the entire 113th Ohio
regiment were able to be present.
RESCUE WORKER HERE.
F. E. A. Smith, financial secretary
of the Pacific Coast Rescue and Pro
tective Society of Portland, spent a
couple of daya in Heppner at the end
of the week, soliciting and receiving
liberal financial support for the Al-
bertina Kerr Nursery Home and the
Louise Home, institutions maintained
by the society in Portland. Heppner
people are always glad to support this
splendid work and Mr. Smith was well
pleased with the hearty response on
the part of our citizens.

PROPER HANDLING
OF MILK IS GIVEN
(From State Board of Health)
Milk may carry disease eerms and
in this way infect persons using
uiw. 10 prevent tnis, milk ia often
pasteurized. In preventing the trans
mission of disease germs, greater em-
pnasis snoum be placed on' the meth
ods of obtaining the milk. The dairy
man should have clean pails and clean
hands, and the udder of the cow
should be cleaned before milking.
The farmer who takes the milk pail
from the fence and, without washing
his hands, milks the cow which has
been standing in a dirty stable ia not
getting clean milk. Furthermore, he
is neglecting a duty and responsibil
ity he owes his family and his neigh
bors. The poisons and dirt in milk
are real sources of danger to the body.
out tney can De eliminated by the
careful collection and distribution of
the milk supply. The cows should be
cared for in a sanitary stable and ev
ery means used to keep them clean
and healthy. Cows should be cleaned
preparatory to milking. Covered pails
should be used to keep the milk free
from dirt.
It is very important to keep the
milk clean after it is collected. All
bottles should be sterilised and the
hands should not be allowed to come
in contact with the milk or inside of
the bottles. Flies and dirt should
not gain access to the milk at any
time.
In spite of the care exercised in
many places in collecting milk, a cer
tain amount of infectious material
gains entrance to milk after it is
collected. To prevent these organ
isms getting into the body and so
causing diseases, pasteurisation is
widely practiced. Cities after pas
teurising milk have noticed a drop in
the amount of sickness and in the i
number of deaths.
The history of city and state health
departments is full of epidemics of
typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diph
theria and septic sore throat, caused
by milk infected by a sick pen m or
by a carrier on a dairy farm.
In order that uncooked milk ahall
be safe it must come from cows who
are free from tuberculosis or other
diseases; the barn and dairy build
ings must be scrupulously clean, peo
ple who have sore throats or any
other signs of disease must not milk
the cows or handle the milk in any
way, and the milk must be cooled at
once and kept cool.
High standards Increase the respect
of the milk industry for milk sanita
tion. High standards increase the
confidence of the consumer and con
sequently increase milk consumption.

"OLD IRONSIDES"
WILL BE SAVED
BY ELKS ORDER
Local Lodge Will Participate In
In Campaign to Raise Funds
Through School Children.
Heppner Lodge No. 358, B. P. O. E.,
is preparing to place before the school
children within its jurisdiction, the
program for the saving of "Old Iron
sides." The local lodge is getting
shaped up for "Old Ironsides Week.'
which is October 19th to 24th, and
from now on they will labor to put
over a 10u campaign
Congress at its last session provid
ed by resolution for the restoration
of the frigate Constitution, immortal
ized in American naval history and
Oliver Wendell Holmes' poetical
tribute "Old Ironsides" but did not
appropriate money for this work and
entrusted the responsibility for the
raising of the $500,000 necessary to
Secretary of Navy Curtis D. Wilbur.
Secretary Wilbur felt that to raise
the fund through the agency of the
school children of the nation had an
exceptional educational and patriotic
value.
Recent issues of the Elks Magazine
contain artidlea setting forth the
plans of campaign, from one of which
we quote as follows:
'The inspiring patriotic and edu
tional lesson interwoven in the
deeds and adventures of "Old Iron-
des" and the early traditions of our
American Navy will be brought to
twenty million school children in this
nation during "Old Ironsides Week,"
October 19-24, by the 1400 lodges of
Elks. This is the indication from the
arly returns of the survey of the
school situation of America that has
been going on for over a month in
the different lodges throughout the
country.
verywhere the movement has
been received with great enthusiasm,
and to the National Headquarters at
the Boston Navy Yard thousands of
letters have poured in characterizing
the work as the most patriotic service
that the Elks have been asked to do.
The scope of the activity is more far
reaching than any national movement
among the school children. The slo
gan of the campaign is "An Elk in
hvery School Will Save 'Old Iron
sides'." The 1400 lodges are striving
to make this slogan a reality, for
the "Old Ironsides" committees, of
each lodge are planned on this basis.
and there will be an Elk assigned to
every school within the jurisdiction
of each lodge.
The campaign received another big
impetus at the Grand Lodge Session
at Portland, Ore., which enthusiastic
ally passed resolutions endorsing the
movement and calling upon the lodges
to do their utmost in this patriotic
call. It was the keynote of ther Grand
Lodge Session, and thousands of del
egates and members of the Order
went back to their home lodges re
solved that they would put over the
campaign in a 100 per cent way."
This article also sets out that pro
vision has been made for the award
ing of medals to school children with
in the jurisdiction of each lodge for
the best 600-word essay on the United
States frigate Constitution and the
early traditions of the American
Navy, and the medals will be distrib
uted as follows:
One bronze medal for each lode-e
jurisdiction, the obverse of which
reads "For Excellence in Naval His
tory," and carries other lettering

HARDMAN SCHOOL NOTES.
Last Thursday night the freshmen
ere entertained by the upper class
men. The party proceeded very nice
ly after the freshmen were collected.
Everyone seemed to have spent an
njoyable evening as well as an ex-
ting one, but the next day showed
quite clearly the intense strain of the
party.
The high school students were very

The Electric Power Age.
An Old Maid's Money.
Who Is Responsible?
The Horse With Claws.
The State of Washington plans
gigantic water power development,
banks in Seattle reflect general oros-
perity in the Northwest, Those Seat
tle banks will need bigger vaults and
capitalization increased by a billion,
when the power begins to work.
Maine will harness 700,000 horse
power in the Bay of Fundy. The plan
approved by voters and scientific ex
perts calls for one hundred millions.
Power enough will be produced to
supply the whole of New England, and
ten times one hundred million would
not equal the value -of such power.
in waterpower and the electric
force generated lies not the hope, but
the CERTAINTY of prosperity be
yond imagination.
London is agitated because the
great art collection of Lord Lever
hulme, successful soap maker, ia to
be sold in New York City, not in
London.
This is said to mean that the art
centre of the world ha moved from
London to New York, but that isn't
so.
The MONEY eentre-has moved, and
in 1925, as in the days of Medici,
art goes where money is.
"How can I succeed?" is answered
by Judge Gary thus:
"LISTEN. Let the other man do
at least half the talking."
Judge Gary, of course, puts hones
y ahead of all other qualities. And
ty ahead of all other qualities. And
honesty is important, although Judge
Gary knows more enterprises have
been wrecked by honest fools than by
dishonest knaves.
"The average man likea to hear
himself talk too much," says Judge
Gary. Salesmen should remember
that Thousands of them talk them
selves INTO a sale, then talk them
selves OUT again. When you meet
a customer remember the advice of
Aristotle, who was the Judge Gary
of his day. "Not too much, NOT TOO
LITTLE."
A poor old maid of Massachusetts
called poor, not because she was an
old maid, but because she spent fifty
six years in the insane asylum, has
just died. While she was in the asy
lum her small fotune increased to J2,
000.000, to be divided now among
seven nieces.
"Money runs into money rapidly
in this country, if you give it any sort
of opportunity.
What becomes of all the money
the people earn? Why does the. av
erage American die with about enough
to bury him or her?
The Deputy Attorney General of
New York shows where some of the
money goes. Bogus stock sales alone
take $500,000,000 from the people of
the State each year. Even that leaves
a good deal of money for other swin
dlers to take.
Evidence at the Shenandoah inves
tigation shows that Commander Lans
downe, who understood flying, pro
tested against taking his ship through
the storm belt of the Middle West,
and asked for a postponement.
Those knowing nothing about fly
ing, but unfortunately controlling
aviation in the United States, ordered
him to go, in order to "impress cer
tain State fairs on the way." Be
cause his advice was not taken, Lans
downe was killed.
Who is RESPONSIBLE for his
death? And how good a suit for
damages have his widow and the oth
er Shenandoah widows against those
that sent their husbands to death?
The Museum of Natural History
will soon present to your kind atten
tion a fossil horse, with claws instead
of hoofs, dug up in Asia. According
to scientists, this little creature, an
cestor of the big horse of today with
its hoofs, vanished from the earth
long before men came here to need
horses.
It will amaze you to read the var
ious kinds of "despair" listed by Pro
fessor Glenn Frank, new president of
the University of Wisconsin.
There is BIOLOGICAL fear, PSY
COHLOG1CAL fear, POLITICAL fear,
ECONOMIC fear, HISTORICAL fear,
ADMINISTRATIVE fear, and, MOR
AL fear. The9e fears can all be
boiled down into one word, 'NERVES.'
The only thing we need be afraid of
is ourselves, our weaknesses. And
fortunately, we die, and our fears with
us. Then comes a new, unfrightened
generation.
