FROM WINDS
JOHN HUES
IN UN RIVER
I!s By Albert T. Rcid
Doctor i n Government
Service is Son of Local
Residents.
Heartbreaking news was received
in a telegram from Fortuna Lodge,
Alaska on Tuesday morning by E. K.
Huston, announcing the accidental
c'eatli, by drowning, of hia son, Pr.
John Huston. The telegram was short,
and no particulars surrounding the
accident were given, other than to
state that Dr. Huston fell overboard
from a medical ship while on the way
down the Yukon river. The accident
occurred -on Suturday the 16th and
the telegram, sent out on Monday,
contained the information that con
tiiued sinich was being made for the
body. ?h word came from Mr.i. Hus
tcn, who vi.s on the boat with" her
hu.itand.
Dr. Huston and wife were both in
the government service in Alaska, be
ing with the United States Depart
ment of interior. Bureau uf Educa
tion, Alaska Native School, Medical
and Reindeer service. They left Seat
tle last August and for a tima were
located with the government hospital
at Juneau, the headquaitcis of the
liepaumi nt, and worked out from
thore. They but recently mado an
extensive tup by boat, following ire
coast l.nc as far as Unaiask.x and
bacit to Juneau, and then ware placed
on the work along the Yukon livir,
b'.'iiig stationed at Marshall, a point
no. far inland from the mouth of
the Yukon.
It is evident that when the acci
dent occurred the medical boat was
on a journey to one of the native
missions down the river, as Dr. Hus
ton was called to many points i nd
long distances to minister to the
medical needs of the natives, and had
recently been on the go almost n'ght
and day. Further word concerning
the accident, ond whether the body
has been recovered, is momentarily
expected by the relatives here. The
distance iB so far, and it is so un
certain as to just where Mis. Huston
might be, that it makes it impossible
to get any word to her from this end.
Announcement of the sudden pass
ing of Dr. Huston comes as a stun
ning blow to his parents and rela
tives here, and they have the tin
cere sympathy of the entire commun
ity in this affliction.
Dr. Huston was 32 years, 6 months
and IB days of age. Ho was a native
of Albany, at which place he receiv
ed his high school education end
fitted himself for the completion of a
higher education course, graduating
from the University of Oregon with
the class of 1917. Deciding to study
medicine he attended the U. of 0.
medical school and received his de
gree in 1U22. Following this he apmt
one year as an intern in Multnomah
hospital at Portland and then one
year as assistant in the medical de
partment of the University at Eu
gene. After spending some time in
private practice in Portland, he en
tered the government service in the
Marine hospital at Tort Townsend,
Wash., being transferred from there
to the same service in Seuttle, and
then on August 7, 1926, he sailed for
Juneau, Alaska, to enter the hospital
service of the government there.
He was married to Elizabeth Beat
rice McParland, of Rushville, Nebras
ka, July 20, 1922.. Mrs. Huston was a
graduate nurse from Good Samaritan
hospital in Portland, and it was here
that the doctor and his future wife
became acquainted. Mrs. Huston was
eneuged as a graduate nurse in the
government service along with her
husband.
While Dr. Huston was a young man
in the profession, he was making
good and had a bright future before
him, and his untimely death cuts
short a career that gave every prom
ise of being brilliant.
Reports Mountain Range
Finest For Many Years
Jcrm O'Connor returned from the
high mountains in the vicinity of
Desolation lake the first of the week,
where he will summer a part of his
sheep. Ho states that the range con
ditions in the mountains are the best
he has noted in many years. The feed
is abundant and luxurious and the
flocks should come home in the fall
in excellent condition.
Speaking of the little difficulty he
had with the Ukiah road supervisor
mention of which we made in these
columns last issue, Jerm thinks he
picture was considerably overdrawn
and it was made to appear that he
was the chief culprit in rolling a lot
of rock on the road, that was alleged
to obstruct the highway. As a matter
of fact, his sheep were the last of
some five bands that had been driven
nlone thiR piece of road, and Jcrm
did not like to be held responsible for
nil the rock (and there were no boul
ders as the E. 0. article stated) that
had been forced from the hillside
into the road. However, as ho was
the only one held up on the charge,
he tried to make bood by taking a
man and spending parts of two days
clearing the rock off. At no time
wus the road obstructed, but the offi
cial was not satisfied and took Mr.
O'Connor to Pendleton for a hearing
in the justice court. The trial was
postponed to a Inter date, and Jerm
feels thnt he will prove hiB innocence
r. 11 right. Ho was informed thnt it
Is the practice to drive bands of cat
tle over this particular piece of coun
ty road almost continuously and he
only went this way because it short
ened the distance quite materially
and he could not get by otherwise
without trespassing on private property.
Morrow County Has Plenty of
Pure Seed; Many Fields
Certified.
G. R. Hyslop of the Oregon Agricul
tural college spent several days in
Morrow county recently, and in com
pany with County Agent Smith com
pleted the 'work of certifying grain.
Due to the fact that most of the grain
to be harvested this year is growing
on the ground that was re-seeded to
most any wheat farmers could get
two years ago, following the freeze
out, a special effort has been made
to locate enough pure Beed to supply
the local demand for fall planting.
County Agent Smith mailed circu
lar letters to all farmers growing
wheat, asking them to notify him if
their fields were comparatively free
from mixtures. A number of farmers
answered the inquiry and their fields
were inspected. Wheat that may be
certified must not contain more than
one-half of one per cent foreign
wheat, must have only a limited
amount of other grains and no nox
ious weeds that cannot be separated
by the ordinary cleaning processes.
The following is a list of farmers
whose fields passed the field inspec
tion, and the varieties they are grow
ing: John Troedson, lone, 4 acres Regal,
160 acres Turkey.
B. H. Peck, Heppner 2 3-4 acres Re
gal.
C. B. Cox, Heppner, 2 1-2 acres Re
gal.
Dwight Misner, lone, 80 acres Tur
key, 150 acres Hurd Federation.
Harry Schriever, Lexington, 185
acres Turkey, 2 1-2 acres Regal.
Homer Green, Eight Mile, 30 acres
Regal.
Roy Campbell, Lexington, 3 acres
Regal.
Lawrence Redding, Eight Mile, 46
acres Hybrid 128, 40 acres Federation.
Carl E. Bergstrom, lone, 60 acres
Federation.
C. F. Hemrich, Heppner, 375 acres
Hybrid 128, 10 acres Federation.
R. A. Thompson, Heppner, 20 acres
Fortyfold.
Ralph Benge, Heppner, 200 acres
Fortyfold.
Jeff Jones, Heppner, 38 acres Forty
fold. After these fields have been thresh
ed another check will be made on the
threshed grain. Several inquiries have
come from out of the county for cer
tified seed, so those who wish certi
fied seed should get in touch with the
farmers who have it, in order that the
local demand may be filled first.
Thej-e will be sufficient certified seed
for this local demand.
NEW HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
(Oregon Voter)
Resignation of William Dubv from
the highway commission, means that
Governor Patterson, in appointing his
successor, will now control that im
portant state board, the most import
ant single board from a development
standpoint that the governor is per
mitted to appoint, having already ap
pointed Commissioner Gates.
Robert M. Sawyer, Bend editor, is
appointed to succeed Duby. The peo
ple's' investment in roads will have
another faithful trustee.
Governor Pierce made some excell
ent appointments during his term of
office. The choice of William Duby,
formerly county judge, Baker county,
was one of them. Judge Duby so
thoroughly enjoyed the highway com
mission work, that he gave a vast
amount of time and effort to its prose
cution. Knowing that his own mod
esty would deprecate his achievement,
we rely upon the statement of his
friends that since his appointment in
April, 1923, he gave the state two
thirds of his time without compensa
tion other than the honor which ac
crues to any citizen for the conscien
tious performance of a public trust.
While his experience prior to appoint
ment had been confined to county
road work, he was immedintley elect
ed chairman of the commission, and
served continuously in that capacity.
His viewpoint was not constricted by
local boundaries, but matched in
breadth and vision thnt of his asso
ciates. The commission under Judge
Duby was unusually harmonious.
Opinions of course differed nt times,
but it was conspicuously noticeable
that b willingness to determine the
commission's "best judgment" ani
mated Judge Ddby and Commissioners
M alone and Van Duzer.
Robert W. Sawyer, besides editing
me uena liuiletin, has served Des
chutes county ns county judge. He
was re-elected Inst November by a
comfortable majority over his oppon
ent at the conclusion of a campaign
that was designed to shake the com
munity's confidence in Sawyer. That
it utterly failed to do so, is indicative
of his integrity, courage and sound
judgment and in direction of public
work in his community. His editorial
defense of the state's highway nro.
gram and system of revenue raising
tnrougn license tees and gasoline tax
has been most vigorous. The state
need have no fear lest Judge Sawyer
will be the man to foist any fads or
toibles upon the publics nntiencp
He is n graduate of Harvard Univer
sity, which in Itself leads one to ex
pect conservative tendencies, nn ex
pectation which in this instance finds
as a corollary his analytic justifica
tion of the dual system of state and
local road improvement in Oregon.
FOUND 5 gallon can of machine
oil. Owner can get same at this
office.
WANTED Housekeeper for family
of four children. Inquire this office.
William M.Ayers Dies
Following Short Illness
The death of William M. Ayers oc
curred at his home in this city early
Friday morning, July 15th, and fol
lowing his return, the day before,
from Hot Lake where he had gone
for treatment. The announcement of
his death came as a surprise to
friends and neighbors who had not
realized that he was in so critical
a condition, though they had known
that he was suffering from some ser
ious ailment. Mr. Ayers had accom
panied Sheriff McDuffee home from
Hot Lake on Thursday, and when he
arrived here it was noted that he was
greatly fatigued by the journey. He
was taken quite ill during the night,
and at 1:30 death came.
Funeral services were held at the
family residenc eat 10:00 a. m. Sun
day, Elder George F, Watson, minis
ter of the Adventist church of Her
miston, officiating, and burial was in
Heppner cemetery beside other mem
bers of the family who had passed on
before.
Mr. Ayers had been a resident of
Heppner for many years. He has held
the position as janitor at the court
house ever since the new building was
completed, and in this service was
always faithful and efficient. At the
last general election he was chosen
as Justice of the Peace for the sixth
district of Morrow county, and in this
position he was found to be trust
worthy, also. He had been a familiar
figure at the court house and about
town, possessed a large number of
friends and is a man that will be
missed from the community. He is
survived by his wife, Lulu Ayers, and
two sons, Charles O. Ayers and Tim
Ayers, and by one brother, James
Ayers of Pine City.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to thank our friends and
neighbors for their assistance and
sympathy, and for the many beau
tiful flowers; especially do we thank
Gay M. Anderson for his help in this
time of atttiction.

Young Man Seriously
Injured at Road Camp
Leland Adams, grandson of Mr. and
Mrs. I. A. Denipsey, was very serious.
ly injured near the Clarks canyon
road camp south of Lexington Mon
day, when he attempted to board a
moving truck and missed his hold.
He fell in such a manner that he was
struck by the hind wheel of the
heavy vehicle and suffered injuries
to his shoulder and received several
broken ribs on the left side. He was
rushed to Heppner and is now being
cared for nt the Heppner Surgical
hospital. While he appears to be
getting along all right, Dr. McMurdo
has not been able to fully determine
the extent of his injuries, owing to
the swelling in his side and shoulder.
It is thought that the shoulder was
not crushed, though this anneared to
be the case at first, but the collar
bone was broken. The young man
was fortunate in falling on a pile of
loose crushed rock which formed a
cushion and broke the force of tho
impact with the wheel, which struck
him in a sliding motion as it passed.
The truck was loaded with four yards
of crushed rock and had the wheel
passed over the body the result could
not have been otherwise than fatal.

Market Road Grade.
Ready for Surfacing
The gap in the Lexington-Jarmon
market road has been graded to con
nect with the market road leading
out from Echo, and the surfacing will
be put on later, following rains that
will settle the road bed.
This road will complete another
section of the market road system of
Morrow county, work on which was
begun and completed out from Lex
ington several years ago to a point
about nine miles north of Lexington,
and while it did not go far enough to
be of great benefit to the north Sand
Hollow section, it has proved a big
help to the farming community ad
jacent on either side for many miles
and made it much easier for the do
livery of crops to market. The com
pletion of this road should bring more
trade into Lexington, and we hope
this may prove the case.
RAISING BABY IS
FULL TIME JOB
From State Board of Health.
Some English novelists have recent
ly been carrying on quite a warm
discussion as to whether or not rais
ing a baby requires full-time atten
tion. This discussion has been car
ried on in the English newspapers,
magazines, and over the radio. Quite
a few of its echoes have reached this
side of the water already. Although
the discussion has been carried on in
the stolid manner characteristic of
Englishmen, quite a bit of it has
been very pointed. One woman novel
ist, very much on the affirmative side
of the question, writes that she once
ran a baby herself. She waxes very
eloquent on the necessity for enter
taining the baby and to keep the baby
from getting bored, all of which any
mother or any nurse would appre
ciate. Resigning all levity, however, the
raising of a baby is certainly a full
time job, if it is carried on in a prop
er and successful manner, and in a
manner agreeable to the best inter
est of the baby and the parents. A
baby demands constant attention
twenty-four hours out of the day.
Some ear must be listening to its
slightest cry, be it midnight or morn
ing, and if the cry is not heeded, dis
aster may result. One woman, writ
ing, recalled a statement that she
heard her father make when she was
a child, that it was quite a common
thing for him to get up in the night
and hand out at least twenty "dinks"
of water. The parent must be alert
at every sound and call. A sudden
change of weather may demand more
cover; a matter of thirty minutes or
more might prove disastrous to the
baby if delayed that long; and a
thousand and one things demand at
tention day and night. The baby's
food must be just right, and it must
be given at the exact minute sched
uled for the baby's best interest; the
clothing must be constantly adjusted;
it must be constantly watched for
-mptoms of illness, and immediate
action taken when such occurs. In
fact, if there is any job in tho whole
world requiring all the time of at
least one individual, it is the job of
properly looking after n baby. For
the good of the world and of the race
very near a hundred per cent of
mothers find this job attractive and
appealing, and find it a joy and pleas
ure instead of drudgery. It is well
that such is tho case, but it is none
the less hard on the mother.
Yes, Indeed, raising a baby, as the
English novelist puts it, is a full
time job.
Report on Conditions by County
Agent Shows Shattering to be
as High as Twenty Percent.
That the farmers quite generally
over a portion of Wasco county's best
wheat section suffered a heavy per
cent of loss during the past week,
when high winds caused the grain to
shatter, is the report received Mon
day by County gent Smith of this
county from the agent of Wasco
county. While the wind was pretty
strong over Morrow county during
the week, Agent Smith states that he
has no reports from any quarter that
there was any loss here on this ac
count, and the grain seems to have
shattered no worse than in other sea
sons, and where this has happened at
all it has been in the fields of Forty
fold, which variety is expected to suf
fer a certain per cent of wastage on
thiB account. The Wasco county
agent states, under date of Saturday:
"Fifteen to twenty percent of the
grain has shattered out on the ground
on ranches where some of the heav
iest yields in the county were in pros
pect a week ago. Most of the shat
tering naturally takes place in the
ripest grain but the discouraging fea
ture is that considerable grain is on
the ground in fields which will not be
ready to harvest for at least another
week.
"This discovery was made yester
day by the county agent in company
with E. H. Matheny, Frank Emerson
and George Obarr when an inspection
was made of a small field of Regal,
the first smut proof variety grown in
the county, and which was planted on
the Obarr ranch last fall. This field
is not ripe enough to thresh but at
least 15 or 20 per cent of it is on the
ground. Thsi variety was immediately
condemned as not being desirable for
this reason. However, adjacent fields
of Turkey on the same ranch and on
the W. C. Kortge ranch showed an un
usual amount of shattering, probably
10 to 15 per cent at this time.
"This same condition was also
found on the Emerson and Petroff
ranches where grain was shownig
signs of maturity. Some grain is lost
each year on the south and west
slopes but this year an unprecedented
pmount had been lost wherever the
wind hits it.
"The Hybrid field on the Emerson
ranch which has been showing up so
well this Bpring will not be ready to
harvest for another week but there is
enough grain on the ground now to
seed a new crop. An inspection was
made of the Hybrid field on the C. L.
Look ranch across the road which is
one of the best fields in the county
and it is estimated that at least 10
per cent of this grain is shattered.
"Davis brothers on Eight Mile re
port an unusual loss from shattering
in their fall sown Federation. There
was considerable shattering on the
same ground two years ago but con
siderably more this year. I. F. Hill
also reports considerable grain on
the ground on his Eight Mile ranch.
"This is a condition which is not
altogether unexpected. The wheat
kernels are unusually plump and this
has loosened up the chaff. The heavy
winds of the last week were largely
responsible for the rather discourag
ing outlook at the present time. This
grain on the ground is a total loss.
None of the varieties mentioned are
as bad to shatter as other varieties
which are sometimes produced,
"Frank Emerson estimates that if
wind and weather conditions do not
become more favorable there will be
a 50 per cent loss in some fields be
fore they can be harvested.
"This information is not being re
leased simply to offset the unusual
publicity of bumper crops in the
Northwest which have reduced the
price of Northwest export wheat 7c
below the Middle Western domestic
price and caused the Chicago market
to drop lc yesterday and increased
the price of wheat sacks 2c, but is
simply statement of facts which have
not been exaggerated and which any
one can verify. It simply bears out
the old adage that the proper time to
anticipate the amount or number of
wheat and eggs is when they are in
the grain bin or basket."
Morrow County Potatoes
Now Under Quarantine
By order of the State Board of
Horticulture, the potato crop of Mor
row county has been placed under
quarantine because of the prevnlerce
here of the Colorado potato beetle.
This order was effective July first
and it is now unlawful to ship any
potatoes from here to California, cr
to any other county in the state, ex
ctpt such as are now under like re
strictions. Tnese counties are Grant,
Lmat.ila, Union, Bnker a.il Malhsui.
Wc are informed by County Agent
Smith the potatoes may be shinped
to California, and to other counties
C ''.is state if they have been prop
erly inspected and a cert'.lieate issued
to this effect. They are passed ever
a cCieen at shipping point and 'his
C"ri.ficate must accompany the ih:p
ment. C. H. Dillabnugh will be potato
inspector at Bottrdmnn, und some one
will be named a' Irrigon by the Coun
ty Agent for that point. County Ag

When Uncle Sam's fiscal year end
ed last week, he found a surplus of
635,000,000. Secretary Mellon had
guessed" $625,000,000, a good proph

and can afford anything he needs. He
ought to dig canals, harness water
power, build the greatest air and sub
marine fleets in the world. He should
stop trying to persuade Europe to do
what it doesn't want to do, attend to
his own business and be in a position
to make other nations mind theirs.
Until this nation is prepared to de
fend itself against any ten other na

Now Fokker announces a plane to fly,

go from Scattle to Tokio, 6,000 miles.
This Government should contract
with Fokker to keep him here for life
building airplanes. Ancient Monarchs
and Popes offered any inducement
that would bring great artists to their
courts. The great artist of today is

On the Hudson, not tenyards from
shore, off Sing Sing Prison, three
boys were struggling. Prison guards
could not leave their duty to save
them. Convicts begged permission to
save the boys, but the guards, rifles
leveled, forbade them to follow their
impulse, jump into the river and pull
the drowning boys ashore.
The three boys drowned while
guards and convicts looked on, some
of the latter weeping.
Once more those convicts feel that
they never had a chance, not even a
chance to help others, at risk to them
selves. They had a bad start in life, most
of them, and things have gone wrong
with them ever since. When they
missed the opportunity to save life
they again felt cheated.
If the prisoners had no chance in
the beginning, is not the fault of so
ciety, whose fault is it?
