CHANGES PROBABLE Morrow County May Hare Season on "Huns"; Fish and Game Work Explained. Ed. F. Averill, state game warde was a guest of Heppner Rod and Gun club Saturday. Honoring his visit the club held a shoot in the morning and banquet in the evening. At the banquet Mr. Averill made a speech outlining the policy of the state game commission, including a stirring ap peal for good sportsmanship, and sportsman cooperation in administra tion of the state game laws. It is the policy of the present game commission to cooperate to the fullest extent in filling the needs of Oregon sportsmen, said Mr. Averill. In line with this policy the warden und commission are making as many personal contacts as possible through visiting different parts of the state and receiving sportsmen's views first hand. The commission also welcomes letters from sportsmen. In interviewing local sportsmen Mr. Averill found that a majority be lieve Hungarian pheasant to be nu merous enough to justify an open sea son on them in this county the com ing year. Consequently there is lit tle doubt but the open season for "Chinas" next year will also include "Huns." The sentiment of sports men here also revealed that they fa vor a 30-day open season on these birds with shooting on Wednesdays and Sundays each week, in place of tho former 8-day season with daily Bhooting. Mr. Averill believed Viis could be arranged. Other desires of the Heppner Rod and Gun club made known at the ban quet are: Bag limit of one mule deer in place of the present two; increas ed license fees for out-of-state hunt ers (Mr. Averill said a bill was to be presented to the coming legisla ture sponsoring a $25 fee for non-re-.idonts) ; and fevor Morrow coun. ty's quota of seed fish be planted in North Fork of John Day river. The last sentiment was expressed after Mr. Averill's suggestion that this be done, the reasons being given as follows: By Morrow and other nearby counties contributing all or I art of their quota of seed fish to the stream named, only a few years will be required to make of it one of the most attractive fishing streams in the country, rivaling the McKenzie, Rogue, and other far-famed streams . to which sportsmen travel from all over the world. Being easily nccossi ble to Morrow county sportsmen, it is believed the seed fish thus planted would result in better fishing for them than if the fish were planted in local streams which dry up every few yiars, killing the fish. Also planting local streams means to a large ex tent furnishing private fishing pre serves for many landowners who pro hibit fishing by the general public. Mr. Averill said the commission is now experimenting with planting year-old fish instead of the former minnows. That this is tho best ys tern is undeniable, the only question being the providing of facilities for holding the fish the longer period. He explained the reason for adoption of this plan. All fish are cannibals, con sequently the planting of minnows but serves to feed the larger fish, and very few of the minnows survive. Fish held for a year in the hatcheries attuin six or seven inches length and when released into the streams are fairly cnpabl" of taking care of them selves with the result of a compara tively low mortality rate. An interesting bit of information ,3'iven by Mr. Averill was that con cerning the fish in Oregon streams. Practically all the game fish in Ore gon come from the eggs of only two species, he declared, those of the Montana Speckled trout and the Rain bow trout. Fish hatched from these eggs attain but small proportions in cold water and are known as brook trout, while in warmer water they rttain much larger size. Fish hatch ed from Montana Brook eggs and go ing to tho warmer water of lower re gions are often caught as salmon trout, while those from Rainbow eggs go out to sea and are caught in the form of Steelhead salmon. Urging the sportsmen to cooperate in enforcing game laws, Mr. Averill pointed out that the laws are made to protect the interests of the sports men themselves and they are only protocing their own interests in co oarrating with their game wardens. One of Oregon's greatest assets is her wild life and it is to the interest of all Orcgonians to ste that this as set is properly protcctod. DISLOCATES ELBOW IN FALL. Mrs. Chas. Feldinan of near lone buffered a severe fall on Tuesday and the result was a dislocated elbow. She was brought to Heppner for sur-i giciil aid, and after taking an x-ray picture of the injured btoi, Dr. John ston reduced the dislocation and Mrs. Foldman was able to return home. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Ralph Marlalt, so seriously ill for the past two weeks with pleural pneumonia, is now well on the road to recovery. Mrs. Marlatt, also ser iously 111, is improving, states their jhysician, Dr. McMurdo. Lectures Will Continue Through Coming Week Much interest has been aroused in Heppner this week by tho lectures be ing delivered at the Methodist church by Guy Fitch Phelps of Salem.

B.CHAPIN Site of New Hospital Unexcelled Anywhere The site chosen for the new East ern Oregon Tuberculosis hospital is unexcelled by any site in the United States, according to Mr. Jomieson Marshall, who left Portland last Thursday evening for Denver, Color ado. Mr. Marshall spent nearly three weeks in Oregon -assisting the Ore gon Board of Control in the choice of a site for the new sanatorium. The choice was left by the Board of Control in the hands of Dr. G. C. Bellinger, superintendent of the pres ent tuberculosis hospital at Salem, and Mr. Marshall, architect and insti tutional advisor for the National Tu berculosis association. Marshall's home is in New York City. "Not even the Cragmor sanatorium in Colorado Springs or the Trudeau sanatorium at Saranac Lake, N. Y., can boast of a better location from the standpoint of scenery, climate, or accessibility," said Marshall in an interview at the Multnomah hotel Thursday afternoon. "Every conve nience is to be had at The Dalles in the way of transportation, water sup ply, elecrtic current, sanitary facil ities, markets, labor supply, recrea tion and special medical service. A view of unexcelled beauty may be had of the Columbia river. It is espec ially necessary for an Oregon hospi tal to be located amid scenes of nat ural beauty because Oregon patients are accustomed to beautiful scenery and would not be contented without it." As the time drew near for his de parture Mr. Marshall admitted that the charms of Oregon had taksn a powerful hold on him. "I hope to see the day," said Marshall, "whtn I can come to Oregon and stay here the rest of my life." 1 Fund Nearly Raised For Campbell Memorial University of Oregno, Eugene, Jan. 4.

The first wing will cost $160,000, Mrs. Gerlinger said, and so far $104, 000 has been secured through gifts and subscriptions from people in all parts of the state.

Efforts to secure the remaining $66,000 will be continued, Mrs. Ger linger said, during the new year. "Valuable gifts of art objects and books have been given outright and others will come by bequest to the state, with the state university very properly designated as the custodian. The presence of all these objects of beauty and historical significance will be a tremendous stimulous to the Fine Arst department and to cultur al work at the University," Mrs. Gor linger concluded. Mildred Green, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Green of this city, who hus been very ill the past two weeks or more, is reported by her physician, Dr. Johnston, to be improving. Famous Impersonator To be Here for P.T.A. An uncanny realism shines forth fiom the art of Zellner, the Protean Characterise whose "Flashes from Life, Literature and History" will be a red-letter entertainment feature when he appears in Heppner on the evening of January 26, under the auspices of the Parent Teachers as sociation. He is one of the platform's most gifted characterists. He steps into his characters in full make-up and costume and does his work with such lightning speed that one feels him to be a sort of a magician as well as an excellent artist in character por trayal. . He carries elaborate sfik .tage settings and uses lighting ef fects for his program. Some of his favorite impersonations are General Robert A. Lee, Abraham Lincoln, King Lear, Judas Iscariot, Theodore Roosevelt, besides many characters from life. Heppner folk are urged to save this date for one of the very best en tertainments coming to the city in a long time.

Goodman Dies After Long Illness Arriving home at Heppner on last Thursday with her husband and young son, Mrs. Dean T. Goodman was taken suddenly seriously ill, it being thought that the fatigue from the journey from Portland to Hepp ner brought on the attack. Both Heppner physicians, Dr. Johnston and Dr. McMurdo were called in attend ance but no relief being had by Fri day evening it was decided to return with her to Portland, and they left by train that night. Upon reaching Fortland Saturday morning, and while being transferred from the train to the hospital, Mrs. Goodman passed away. Funeral services were held on Tuesday at 2:30 at the Fin ley Chapel in Portland, and commit ment was at Rose City cemetery. Grace Ruth Goodman was 37 years of age and is survived by her hus band, Dean T. Goodman and one son, Dean, Jr., of this city, besides her mother, Mrs. Tilda E. Lindburg of Portland and Mrs. Harry B. Witter, a sister of Los Angeles. For the most of the past year she has been an invalid and had been at the point of death several times from undergo ing major operations. From these she rallied, and had at last reached a point where it was thought she might return to her home at Heppner and the journey was made the past week. i lie indominitable will power of Mrs. Goodman had worked almost miracles n her recovery, yet her condition was such that she could not overcome the serious attack with which she was taken on reaching here, and her death resulted from an obstruction of the upper bowel. With her husband Mrs. Goodman has been a resident of Heppner for the past seven years, during which time she made many fast friends, and all join with the husband in sharing his great sorrow.

ThisWeelt By Arthur Brisbane Good News. Canals, Crops, Prosperity. We Are Homogenous. All Alike. It's really a prosperous country we live in, and the prosperity has only commenced. Arthur Reynolds, able Chicago banker, says our prosperity will last through 1927. It will also last through 1937 and beyond, if we give it a chance, really work, and do not cheat each other too much. Revised Government reports on crops put corn for this year at two billion six hundred and forty-five mil lion bushels, wheat at eight hundred and thirty-two million three hundred and five thousand bushels and forty million bushels of rye, forty-one mil lion bushels of rice, eighteen million six hundred and eighteen thousand bales of cotton, thirty-three million rine hundred thousand boxes of or anges, etc., and you have a alight idea of what prosperity means. And, unlike oil, these crops are not exhausted, but go on forever, in creasing. Land in France planted to wheat for centuries produces more bushels per acre now than it did 200 years ago. The pity is that when farmers have big crops they get small prices. Combination sales and voting could help that, but farmers do not yet know how. Other good news for all Americans is this: "The lake cities will be con nected with the Mississippi and the (julf and all ports of the world by navigable waterways through legis lation that should pass this winter. And a canal from the lakes to the At lantic also seems probable if an agreement can be made with Canada lor joint use of the St Lawrence." The right plan would be an all American waterway from the lakes through New York State, and that will come. But it would eost five or six hundred millions more than the low cost of the St. Lawrence canal, which probably will come first. Farmers are depely interested in these canal projects, for which Secre tary Hoover deserves greatest praise. He is a worker. The canals will cut an average of twelve cents from the lreight on export wheat, and add twelve1 cents to .the farmers' price. Harnessing the Colorado River .seems not far away, thanks to a num ber of earnest men, including Senator Hiram Johnson, Secretaries Work and Hoover, and others. The remaining difficulty seems to be arranging an agreement between California and Arizona. The dam would be in Ari zona, a great part of the power and irrigation would be used in Califor nia. The prosperity of one State is reflected in all States. California cannot thrive without benefitting Florida and Maine. Arizona, the great State of copper, cotton, citrus, climate and the Color ado, will prove itself the State of brotherly conciliation. The thing de signed is to use the country's wealth, water and power especially, and thus build up the entire nation. Arizona will not unwisely withhold from de velopment and use that which, at the moment, she herself cannot use. This is written on the writer's eleventh trip across the continent in fourteen months. The oftenor you cross, the more uniformity of life and manners in America amazes you. The young man in semi-balloon trousers, left in New York, you find again in Chicago, Kansas City, To peka, Gallup, Albuquerque, Barstow and tens of thousands of him in Los Angeles. Travel a short distance from the shores of Brittany to the mountains of Auvergne, in France, and you find language and clothes changed com pletely, also interests, habits and manners. Here, from Miami to Portland, we all know the same baseball and foot ball scores, see the same moving pic tures, wear the same clothes, get about the same wages. LEGION AUXILIARY MEETS.
