While tha weather condition at Heppner have not been any too pleas ant for the past two weeks, because of low temperature and anow and ice, it has not been severe. At no time since the cold snap set in has the thermometer reached zero, though it crowded that point pretty close for a night or two. Beginning Sat urday night there was some snow fall, and on Sunday this was increas ed, and fitful spells of snowing was the order for a day or two. Later a rain came, and the snow was crust ed over, sidewalks became glares of ice, and pedestrians found consider able difficulty in making their rounds about the city. This is changing pretty fast today, as the soft winds of the chinook and some rain along with them is melting the ice and snow crust, and the five or six inches of the beautiful that blankets the Heppner hills wil soon pass unless there should come a sudden shift in the winds and the chinook freeze out. The cold weather has frozen the ground to a depth of about seven inches. It was a steady freeze, last ing all last week and up until the first of the present week. As stated elsewhere in these columns, there is some apprehension felt in certain parts of the county regarding the effect on crops. There was a fin growth of wheat, especially in the north end of the county, and fears are entertained that some varieties may have been frozen out. There is no certainty of this, however, and when the thaw comes it may appear that the damage, if any, has been slight. Down the Columbia gorge, condi tions during the week have been bad. Trains are blocked on the U. P. track, highway traffic tied up, and it will be many days yet before the situa tion is cleared up, according to re porta reaching here. Hereabouts! traffic has been able to get about pretty much as usual and there has been no great inconvenience suffered. Stockmen have plenty of feed, nad could care for their flocks and herds through many weeks of such winter weather as we have been having. KOOD LAND SOLD FRIDAY. To satisfy a judgment rendered in the United States district court at Portland in favor of the California Joint Stock Land bank, a corporation, plaintiff, and against Frances Wilbur Rood and others, a public sale was held at the court house in Heppner on Friday, conducted by Deputy Uni ted States Marshal Davidson, of the lands of Andrew Rood, Jr., on which the San Francisco financial institu tion held a mortgage. The suit was against Mrs. Rood as administratrix of the estate, and other parties were Oregon Live Stock Loan company, A. C Ruby and Harry Rood. The amount involved in the judgment was $29,600, which (included costs and accruing costs of sale. A. E. Clark, Portland attorney, represented the bank and bid, in the land for the amount of judgment and costs. ' CLARENCE RICE DIES. Word received here announces the death of Clarence R. Rice, a native of Morrow county, but for a number of years past residing near Monu ment in Grant county, of pneumonia and complications on December 25. His funeral was held the Wednesday afternoon following and the remains laid to rest in Monument cemetery. Clarence R. Rice was born Septem ber 8, 1891, near Hardman, and at the time of his death was aged 36 years 8 months and 17 days. He was united in marriage to Bertha Bellenbrock, March 28, 1910, and to this union were born four children, three girls and one boy. Mr. Rice leaves the following near relatives to mourn his death: his widow Mrs. Bertha Rice and their four children, Edna, Grace, Clara and Frank; his father, Daniel Rice of Portland, and three sisters, Mrs. Maude Craber of The Dalles, Mrs. Shirley Robinson of Emmett Idaho and Mrs. Cecil Burgoyne of Portland. TRAFFIC IS BLOCKADED. A heavy snow slide on the railroad west of Hood River causing the wreck of train No. 23 of the Unio'n Pacific early Monday morning, and heavy drifts on the Columbia high way has blockaded traffic up the south side of the Columbia this week, and delayed trains has been the result. Heppner had no train out Sunday night because of the storm, and the local has been going down the line during the day since and returning is the evening. Report has it that nearly 200 motorists are marooned at Hood River, and it would seem that there will be no relief for a number of days yet. The railroad is ipt cleared of the snow and wreck age .of train 23, and the Union Paci fic are routing trains over the North Bank to Celilo. Merchants of Hepp. ner, who have received no fast freight for many days, are reporting a short age in stocks, but relief should be at hand soon. WRONG IMPRESSION CORRECTED. There has been a general rumor going the rounds to the effect that Dr. A. D, McMurdo was contemplating leaving Heppner right after the first of the year, to take up practice in Pendleton. To quiet all such rumors and correct a false report we are requested by Dr. McMurdo to say that there is absolutely nothing in it. Birthday Remembered By Surprise Party The home' of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Blahm, below Heppner, was he scene of a pleasant surprise party 'on Wed nesday, January 4, in honor of the 49th birthday of Mr. Blahm. Guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Farlinger and son Bobby of Alberta, Canada;1 Mr. and Mrs. John Hughes, Mr, and Mrs. Chris Brown and son Paul, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Chris Moeller, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Evans, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Evans and son Donald, Mr. and Mrs, Harvey Bauman, Mr. and Mrs. Lee A. Sprinkel, Mr. and Mrs. Adam Blahm and Raymond, Anna, Lena, and El mer Blahm. Five hundred was played and hon ors went to Mrs. Chris Brown first, and John Hughes, consolation. Late in the evening dainty refreshments consisting of sandwiches, fruit sal ad, cake and coffee were served by Mrs. Sprinkel and Mrs. Blahm. MRS. GENTRY IMPROVING. In last issue we reported the ac cident to the Jbb. Gentry car, when Mt. and Mrs. Gentry were going down Franklin hill grade on their return from Walla Walla. In this accident Mrs. Gentry received a dislocated wrist and many severe bruises, from all of which she is now recovering quite satisfactorily. In conversation with Mr. Gentry the first of the week, he gave us particulars of the acci dent, and the escape of both himself and his wife from more serious con sequences was something short of miraculous. At a point on the grade near where it croses the old road, the car struck some new snow on the frozen track and skidded sharply off the grade, headed down hill. It hung up for an instant on a barbed wire fence and at this juncture Mr. Gen try urged his wife to jump out. JuM as she opened the door and was ready to step out, the fence gave way and she was thrown several feet down the hill and in the way of the car. Mr. Gentry managed to steer the car so it missed her, and also brought the machine about sidewise and checked its progress toward the bottom of the hill, and while holding it here he called to Mrs. Gentry to bring a rock and chock the wheel. In attempting to lift a rock with her hand she was unable to do so, but with the other hand managed to get hold of a stone and carried it to the car and placed it in front of a wheel, holding the machine until Mr. Gentry got out and blocked ifJ The fence really saved the car from catapulting a quarter of a mile or so to the bottom of the canyon, and as stated above there is no telling just what the consequences would have been. The car did not turn over, and was not very serious ly damaged in its passage of about 100 feet down the hill over the rocks. VISITING HERE FROM ALBERTA. Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Farlinger and small son are visiting at the John P. Hughes, home from Bruce, Alberta, Mr. Farlinger being a brother of Mrs. Hughes. Mr. Farlinger engages in mixed farming on his Alberta farm, raising some wheat, some cattle and other livestock. Wheat raisers there market through a pool, that Mr. Far- linger declares has been quite suc cessful. The first year of its opera tion five years ago, 75 per cent of the wheat raisers joined in the pool. At the present time 80 per cent are estimated to be pooling their wheat, showing a gain in the faith of the farmers in this method of market ing. Wheut there is handled almost entirely in bulk. After it is deliv ered to the warehouse it is taken care of entirely by the pool management at 2 cents a bushel. Alberta farmers are strong for cooperation, Mr. Far- linger states, pools similar to the wheat pool now being formed for nearly every kind of farm produce. Thirty-five to forty bushels of wheat to the acre is an average crop on new land In Alberta which has jumped in price the laBt few years from $40 to $60 na dbefctcr an acre. Barley and oats rank high as cereal crops there as well. REVIVAL MEETING BEGINS. A revival meetine beeins at the Church of Christ on Sunday and the preaching at both services will be by Brother H. J. Perry who to be the evangelist. The services will contin ue through the week. We hope to see full attendance at the Bible school to mark the begin ning of the meeting. Sundav evening also marlra the close of the Christian Endeavor con test. Wo nope it has a happy climax The public is cordially welcome to all of the services of the church. MILTON W. BOWER, Minister.

After a delay of two days owing to the inability of several instructors to get back to Heppner from their holiday vacation school opened this morning with the full corps of teach ers on hand. Because of the block ade of the railroad between The Dalles and Portland, and heavy slides on the Columbia highway as well, the train schedules were upset, and those depending on car and motor service were also unable to travel. Word from Superintendent Burgess at Portland, received here on Monday, announced that a number were ma rooned on that side of the mountains, and it would be Wednesday before they could reach Heppner. Those getting in on Wednesday night's train were Supeintendent Burgess, H. R. Johnson Dan Beighle and Miss Harriet Case. Other instructors were home and ready for work Tuesday morning. Big Rabbit Drive Will Start at Alpine Sunday A big rabbit drive is scheduled for the Alpine section on Sunday, to which the public in general is in vited. The drive is to start at 10 o'clock in the morning at the lower Sand Hollow ranch of John Kilkenny. The people of the community will arrange a lunch with hot coffee, and conditions seem to be just right for a successful drive. This paper is requested' to state, by those having the drive in charge, that there is to be neither guns nor dogs allowed in the drive, and it is to be conducted according to the usual rules governnig such events, the object being to rid that section of all the rabbits possible in the time given over to the work. First Basketball Game In New Gym Saturday The first- basketball game of the season, as well as the initial' contest on the new gym floor, is scheduled for Saturday evening between the Arlington and Heppner high school quintets. The public of Heppner is assured that they can witness this game in comfort, and there is every promise that it will be hotly contested, if the right dope is in hand regarding the ability of the visitors, as the local team is strong. The game starts at 7:30. t JOINS CHEVROLET COMPANY. Al Bergstrom, who has been en gaged for sometime with the Fergu son Motor company, and seeling Oak land and Pontiac cars, this week be came identified with the Ferguson Chevrolet company of this city as a part owner, the deal being closed on Wednesday. It is understood that Mr. Ferguson, senior will join his son Gene at Pendleton, where they will continue the Oakland-Pontiac agency which they assumed some monlhB ago. At the Chevrolet show rooms here during the past ten days, the new 1928 models have been the center of attraction. While the company were not able to get more than two cars, a coach and a coupe, besides two trucks, they are expecting a full shipment immediately which will in clude the full line. Needless tto mention that the new Chevrolets are meeting with great favor here, and the cars are moving out just as fast as they are received at the com pany's display rooms. INSTALLS X-RAY MACHINE. ! Dr. Johnston has recently added to his x-ray equipment at his office what is known as the Quarts Mercury arc or Alpine Sun machine, one of the latest appliances for the success ful treatment of germicidal diseases. While the machine is not a "cure all" It has been fully demonstrated that it is very beneficial In the treatment of a very large number of ailments. A recent experiment with violet rays from a quarts mercury arc lamp it was found that it will kill "tri chomonas buccalis," one of the two varieties of animal parasites found in 80 per cent of the mouths of per sons suffering with advanced pyor rhea. The list of skin diseases, mouth disease, lung afflictions or other ger micidal diseases is quite a long one, but they all yield very satisfactorily to this "sun treatment" states Di. Johnston, and sufferers from high blood pressure have been very 'great lyv relieved it is found, after pro longed experimentation. " Harriet, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Hager, underwent an operation at the office of Dr. Mc Murdo this morning for the removal of tonsils and adenoids hopped off for their trans-Atlantic Bric Coldborough, Mrt.Francea Booster Edition Success; All Co-operating Big Issue of Heppner Gazette Times Will Be Fine Advertisement For Morrow County. That the coming special illustrated booster edition of the Gazette Times will be a big success in every sense of the word is already a foregone conclusion if we are to judge by the universal interest dis played and support readily promised following our initial announce ment of last week. This is the right spirit and the spirit that wilL put Heppner and Morrow county over the top and keep this district in its rightful place among the leaders. Publicity will sell your groceries and publicity will sell a pair of shoes. Publicity will sell Morrow county to the world. Well directed publicity sold California and Florida to the world. Publicity has been responsible to the largest extent for the development of our country today. All that we need is publicity and there is no publicity so effect ive as well directed newspaper publicity. Will Represent Morrow County In Detail Let this edition go down in the annals of our history as the great est publicity venture ever brought to a successful conclusion here. No expense will be spared to make it by word and picture truly rep resentative of this entire section.' A copy of this edition coming from a friend to a friend or relative will do more good by far than a thousand real estate Circulars sent at random. These copies will be furnished to certain quarters without cost. This will be our contri bution to progress. This newspaper will be but the medium through which the work will be accomplished. The message proper will be made possible through the public spirited cooperation of Heppner and Morrow county people. In the matter of publicity (blowing our own horn) we have been much too negligent. Other cities are getting ahead, they are getting the trade, they are growing. Why?' Again the answer we find in in their continued and everlastingpubliciry which is calling people's attention to the advantages offered in glowing colors. County-Wide Interest Assured That this issue will in the county alone be well looked for and that every home will trseaure such a copy for always is well evidenced by the requests for hundreds of extra 'copies that we have already received and the ujiiijersal interest displayed. Thus it affords the business house an excellent advertising medium and from this source from a conservative business basis will come our only revenue. Such an undertaking needs, of course, considerable financing and this is the most logical way as the firm supporting the idea has the double sat isfaction of helping to put over a worthwhile project and is availing itself of an excellent advertising medium. Let Us Send Out 5000 -We trust 1ur people will make it possible to send out no less than 5000 copies of at least a fifty-page issue. Such a one will be duly impressive. All church, fraternal, educational, and civic organi zations are invited to contribute articles pertaining to their several works which will be published without cost. We want farm scenes and farm production stories. True stories relating to this county. BOOST YOUR TOWN AND YOUR COUNTY'S INTERESTS BY BOOSTING FOR THE BOOSTER EDITION.

Council Meets Tuesday And Attends to Business Monday being a holiday, the regu lar monthly meeting of the city coun- cil was held on Tuesday evening with Mayor Noble presiding and Council- men Sweek, Bisbee and Cox present; absent, Cooncilmen Jones, Thomson and Clark. No matters of grave importance were brought up, and the main order of business was the payment of the monthly bills. The final settlement was made with the contractors for the crushed rock placed on the streets. There was also some discus sion of the claims of Ed Berry and John Hottman for placing the signs at Heppner Junction, this matter of business having not yet been cleared up to the satisfaction of the claim ants; no definite , conclusion was reached at this tinre. As to the co operation with the county in road work, using the funds due the city from the state, there seemed to be some question as to whether or not proper action had been taken hereto fore regarding this matter; at any rate the final disposition of the funds in the hands of the county belonging to the city on account of highways is a piece' of business that will receive further consideration. Reports of City Recorder. City Treasurer and City Marshal were read and upon motion accepted and ordered to be filed.

Fa ther Cantwell, received his appoint ment to the pastorate of St. Pat rick's church from Bishop McGrath of the Baker diocese the first of the week. During the time Rev. Father Brady has been officiating as pastor of the Catholic church here, he has very favorably impressed the Hepp ner people, as well as the members of his congregation, and we are sure the appointment will meet with gen eral satisfaction. Marjorie Clark daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Clark, departed on Fri day for Portland on her return to Eugene to resume her studies at the U. of O., where she is taking a course in journalism. Miss Mary Clark, al so a student at the university, was not able to return because of illness, but she is reported to be rapidly im proving and she hopes to get back to school for the spring term. Jack Terry and family departed this week for Stockton, Calif., trav eling by auto. Mr. Terry will have employment with a harvester com pany in the California city. Arthur Brisbane Worst of All Crimes. The Microscope. Pagan Religions. The King's Prayer Book. California and the whole country are shocked by a dreadful kidnaping and murder in Los Angeles. The un happy father, obeying the orders of the kidnaper, handed him $1,500 in gold certificates, and in return re ceived part of the body of hia twelve- year-old daughter, dreadfully muti lated. The worst of crimes is kidnaping, since 'it inflicts upon fathers and mothers torments most horrible. That crime should be punished with ut most severity, and when guilt is cer tain, with no delay. , Dr. William J. Mayo, one of the famous brothers, says science learns more about disease from the micro scope than in any other way. Man's brain is a "visual organ," and must see, to know. The introduction of the microscope by the Jansses, late in the ftixtppnth (.pnfilrv. baa Hntia more to advance learning than any other agent, says Dr. Mayo . Real learning owes more to Gali leo's introduction of the telescope, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, than to the microscope. See ing the germs that cause disease is important, but less so than teeing distant suns and nebulae. Perhaps, as the great German scientist Haesk el suggested, men of the future will train one eye for telescopic, the eith er for microscopic work, the two eyes combined dealing with the real world about us. Earthquake in Bunnah frightened inhabitants. A loud roar, lasting ten secuuua, accumpaniea bne sna&ing. Gautamas, finest temple at Rangoon, was badly damaged, but that will not shake faith in Buddhism. , That is the convenient thing about pagan religions. When anything goes wrong the pagan priests tell the faithful, "It's your fault. Your do nations have been inadequate." Noth ing is ever wrong with the pagan god, supposed to control earthquakes, or at least protect his own temples. Even fundamentalist Christian churches put lightning rods on their steeples, which seems strange. Judge Hardy of the Superior Court in San Francisco saya crime could be abolished if mothers would teach their children, in pre-school days, obedience, truthfulness, honesty and the Golden Rule. That is just what mothers have been teaching their children for 500,000 years, according to the light of their period, and they have achieved wonders already. Intelligent Mr. Tex Rickard says Jack Dempsey will fight Mr. Tunney again next summer. Certainly, and each of many following summers un til death do them part, if the crop of $40 a seat simpletons lasts. A cruel government plans to tax each $10 seat $10, but that can be made up by speculators' pricea. Mr. Kickard's good fortune is due partly to the fact that men dull enough to enjoy prize fights are too dull to know when they are being "faked." It is believed, in the West, that the Tri-State Colorado River Com mission, representing California, Ari- sona and Nevada, will reach an agree ment to start work on the Boulder Dam project. Whatever helpa one State helps the whole country. Ari zona will gain by allowing California to use water and power now going to waste. The British House of Lords has approved the new and changed read ings in the Church of England pray er book, but it has been disapproved by the House of Commons. King George is interested because hia oath requires him to stick to that book. Some low church Britishers com plain that the new book is not as strictly "Protestant" as the last. The opinion of the only authoriy that really counts can unforunately not be obtained. Diplomatic circles in Pekin are shocked by a shipment from Turkey to Pekin's "Anti-Opium Monopoly Bureau." The shipment was 62,000 pounds of Turkish opium. That re minds you of our own alcohol prop osition, in spots. One New York cab aret keeper, asked if prohibition agents bothered him, replied, "Yes, I had to give one of them $1100 just an hour ago." COUNTY AGENT HELPS. Chas. W. Smith, county agent, has kindly consented to assist in every way possible in preparing data and photos relative to the agricultural development of Morrow county for publication in the coming special il lustrated edition of the Gazette Times. His office can be of invalu able help in this respect. It is our agricultural advantages thnt we will want to play up in particular and set before the outside world In glowing colors. This office can and will also assist decidedly in the distribution. Mr. Smith's office will be furnished extra copies wthout charge. By
