PROGRESS
SHOWS GOOD YIELD
Normal Output Expected
for County; Wheat Go.
ing Rapidly to Market
PRICE OUTLOOK GOOD
Though Market Quotation! Fluctuate
General Trend la Upward; Lively
Sales Reported at Portland.
Morrow county wheat harvest fa on
in full blast, with some of the north
end farmers getting finished and their
grain marketed," while the remainder
are rushing their wheat rapidly in to
the warehouses. To date no definite
figures have been given out as to the
probable total yield, but the county
output from present indications
should exceed the two-and-a-half mil
lion bushel mark, or about a normal
yield.
Yields reported from the north
country on the whole surpass pre-har-vest
estimates, while early reports
from the south where harvest is not
so far along show good results, though
the total will probably fall a little
short of crops the past few years. One
notable feature of this-Jlarveat is the
quality of th grain, which, say local
warehouseman, is far above the stand
ard of former yeara. Grain so far
received here will average close to 58,
they say, with a very low content of
smut.
Considerable early selling has been
done here, several farmers contract
ing before harvest at from $1.20 to
$1.25 a bushel, and gram has been
moving since at a little above this fig
ure.. A somewhat erratic market has
been reported the last few days with
a trend somewhat bullish. Today's
Oregonian reports a livelier move
ment of grain on the Portland mar
ket yesterday, with closing figures e
to 1VC net lower. The Oregonian re
port said:
"Increased movement of wheat in
the northwest district has been exper
ienced following the recent price re
cession at Chicago. Many growers
who had been holding for higher
prices are now said to be unloading
and numerous sales of club and soft
white were reported yesterday at
around $1.40. Some red wheat was
aid to be moving at around $1.37.
. "Owing to the fact that, this is an
early season more than the usual
amount of grain has already changed
hands for this time of year. Receipts
of 91 carloads of wheat yesterday
compared with but five carloads a
year ago, were pointed to as signifi
cant of the unusual season. Showery
cooling weather northwest and big
receips southwest combined to turn
wheat values downward at Chicago
yesterday.
"Although at times the wheat mar
ket displayed unusual power to rally,
selling which became of broader vol
ume on the upturns was a noticeable
burden at the last. A good deal of
the buying originated in the north
west and tended to emphasize reports
that much of the crop damage Rone
of late by heat and drought is beyond
repair. It was pointed out also that
6c a bushel decline from Monday's top
quotations amounted to half the ad
vance scored since the recent big re
duction of the official estimate of the
1926 Canadian yield of .wheat.
"Huge receipts of wheat at Kansas
City, 729 cars, drew special attention,
inasmuch as primary arrivals In the
country as a whole aggregated 2,800,
000 bushels against 1800 bushels a
year ago. Railroads at Hutchinson
and Saline, Kan., were said to be
jammed with wheat and mills there
full to the roof. Besides a liberal
increase of wheat at Chicago is looked
lor before the end of the week.
"On the other hand, receipts at
Chicago so far have not been as heavy
as have been expected, and mills have
readily absorbed the new supplies up
to this time. Export demand, though,
for North American wheat was of lit
tle or no consequence."
STOCK SHIPMENTS SATURDAY.
Eight cars of cattle and three cars
of sheep went out from the local
yards over the O.-W. R. & N. for the
Portland market Saturday night. Cat
te shippers were Dillard French of
Gurdane, Percy Hughes of Lena, C.
W. McNamer and Dell Allstott of
Heppner and Bob Carsner of Spray.
Allan Morgan of Condon had two cars
of sheep and McNamer one.

GETS RIB CRACKED.
L. Van Marter returned home Sun
day after the ball game at Condon
the worse for wear by at least one
cracked rib. Big Charlie Fitzmaurlce
is responsible. The accident occurred
when Van was just finishing his fifth
trip around the bases. It seems that
Charlie had become weary of having
Van come in home unhindred so many
times and conceived the idea of offer
ing some opposition. Van says he
should have had a clear fairway as
the ball was nowhere in the neighbor
hood as he started on home from
third, but 226-pound Charlie started
running, toward him forcing him to
run several feet outside the line, and
then as he started past, the big catch
er took a lunge catching Van just over
the heart with his shoulder. That's
all he knew, Van said, until the doctor
informed him of his Injury. Umpire
Nickerson pronounced the runner safe
though Charlie later got the ball and
put it on him, Van never reaching the
plate. The injury was mighty pain
ful and necessitated heavy bandaging,
but Van expects to be at his old berth
on second next Sunday.

Singles, regular prices. A program
the whole family will like.
LOCALS RETALIATE
,17-2
One would think, naturally, that a
17-2 score indicates a loose game of
ball, but fans returning from Condon
after last Sunday's game say that
such was not the case in this Instance.
It might have been that "Kewpie"
Clow was suffering a slight relapse
after his strenuous work-out of the
week previous, but rumor has it that
the Heppner boys were just naurally
on with the stick, clouting everything
Mr. Clow had to offer.
Heppner hung up a total of 19 hits,
which combined with 8 Condon errors
to net the sum total of 17 good ver
tical markers. Condon, on the other
hand, grabbed 10 hits off twirler
Keough, which added to Heppner'i
three errors gained two runs. Keough
struck out 13 batters to Kewpie's
four.
From the looks of the score hook
Heppner's ancient red head second
sacker played Roger Hornsby for the
afternoon. Van Marter's club ac
counted for two diuble-sackers, one
triple and one single in six journeys
to the plate. Keough was his next
best rival, with four singles, while
Aiken hung up three. The rest of the
gang all found the ball at times. Van
made the high scoring record of five
runs.
Condon played the same line-up as
that of the Sunday before while Hepp
ner's bunch was changed around a
bit. Bus Gentry substituted for Gay
Anderson on first, Anderson being
absent on his vacation, and Bristow
of lone held down the third sack, Rob-
ers going to Gentry's berth in center
lield. Paul Aiken held down the left
field side of the lot. Hill and Van
Marter were at their old jobs on short
and second, respectively, and Finch
was in right field. Keough and Hos
kins formed the battery.
The coming Sunday will see Wsbco
mixing it with the locals on the Hepp
ner lot. Freddie Roberts has deserted
the locals and will be in the box for
the opposition. A good game is prom
ised. Dr. Farrior Elected
To Honor Society
Dr. F. E. Farrior, dentist of this
city, recently received notification of
his election to Omicron Kappa Up
silon, national honor fraternity in
dentistry. That this is a signal honor
is evidenced by the letter of Todd E.
Rudd, secretary of Delta chapter at
Fortland, which contained the noti
fication and which reads in part as
fellows:
At a recent special meeting of Del
ta chapter, Omicron Kappa Upsilon,
national honor fraternity, 12 per cent
of your class, who, having filled the
requirements of the supreme chapter
as provided by the constitution and
by-laws, were elected members of the
fraternity.
"This fraternity was founded upon
the same principles as those of the
greatest of all honor fraternities,
namely, Phi Betta Kappa, founded in
1776. We now have a member
ship of 103 honor men.
"As secretary-treasurer of Delta
chapter, I congratulate you most sin
cerely upon your election into this
fraternity. It means that you are
linked ail the more intimately with
the best men in your profession."
Dr. Farrior is a graduate of North
Pacific College of Oregon, from the
school of dentistry, and has prac
ticed in Heppner since the time of
graduation some seven years ago.

Taking the Drudgery Out
of the Home Laundering
Home laundering nowadays is not
just a matter of getting clothes snow
white and smoothly ironed. The mod
ern homemakcr wants to know how to
take the drudgery out of home laun
dering and what methods to use so
that her fabrics will give long and
useful service. Farmers' Bulletin
1497-F, "Methods and Equipment for
Home Laundering, ;ust issued by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, applies the latest findings of
science to the home laundry problem.
The various kinds of equipment
suitable for home use including pow
er washing machines and ironers are
described and illustrated, and points
are given on their selection and care.
A floor plan of a home laundry shows
a convenient arrangement of the dif
ferent pieces of washing and ironing
equipment. Water and how to soften
it for laundry purposes, soap, bluing,
starch, and other supplies are dis
cussed, and wherever possible sug
gestions are given that will help the
homemaker in purchasing. How to
handle a family laundry from the
sorting of the soiled clothes to the
folding of the ironed garments is then
given step by step. Directions for
woolens, silks, rayon, and other ar

Young People Worthwhile
Detroit plans a building of eighty
one stories, 873 feet high, another rec
ord broken by Detroit.
J. B, Book, Jr., responsible for the
building, is to be congratulated. This

really can do, and get ready for the
flying age when machines will land on
buildings a mile high and elevators
will go down from the roof, not up
from the ground.
This is new, and therefore news.
The late Robert Fitzsimmons, a real
fighter from Australia, had large dia
monds set in some of his back teeth
to increase his beauty. He showed
them proudly, to this writer years
ago, holding his mouth up to the light
and pulling his freckled face to one
side, to reveal them.
Now his widow, who used to be in
the circus, asks permission to dig up
what is left of Fitzsimmons that she
may remove the diamonds and platin
um settings. She needs the money.

In Luling, small Texas town of 1B00

one time recently and decided to di
vide, which is the Texas manner.
Those that got the money hurried
out to get good automobiles. And
they were wise.
If a hoptoad suddenly got money,
and were wise, he would buy wings,

The Van Sweringen plan to combine

Such combinations represent econ

Mexico City is in danger of com
plete isolation by heavy floods, all
railway tracks within ten miles of the
capital are under water and famine
is feared because of crop destruction
throughout the Mexican plateau.
Many, deeply religious, believe that
floods and famine are sent to punish
Mexico's drastic antireligious legis
lation. That may be true, but this is CER
TAIN. Religious warfare, its hatreds
and bittreness, are far more danger
ous than any flood.
It isn't out business to criticize our
neighbors in Mexico. They may do
as they please, in their country. Con
ditions there emphasize the wisdom
of those that established this country,
giving absolute freedom to all relig
ions, without interference or confisca
tion and without Government recogni
tion or subsidy for any religion.

BENEFfT SUPPER TO BE GIVEN.
The ladies of the Willing Workers
of the Christian church of this city
are planning to give a supper on Sat
urday evening, July 31, at the church,
for the benefit of Miss Lorena Palma
teer. The ladies have pledged sup
port to Miss Palmateer for one month
and anyone who may be interested is
invited to assist by contributing to
the menu. The window sale on last
Saturday for the benefit of Miss Pal
mateer was splendidly patronized and
some $46 realized. This money all
goes to help Miss Palmateer in get
ting established, and as she is gain
ing somewhat in strength it is ex
pected that a little later she will be
able to get work by which she will
support herself. It is understood by
friends here that she will never be
able, however, to get well and will
have to remain in New Mexico.
SMALL DEFICIT SHOWN.
After all bills have been paid, a
deficit of $117 is the financial outcome
of the recent Fourth of July celebra
