HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JAN. 19, 1928. PAGE FIVE LfflCllll 3EIiipipIiBki Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Coponhaver, who were visitors In the city on Saturday, reported that their son Lawrence, who resides at Chula Vista, Calif., was very seriously in jured recently when struck by an automobile, the driver of the ma chine going straight on. A Chula Vista paper states that Copenhaver is in the hospital with what the doctors pronounce one of the worst forms of leg fracture. The broken bones were protruding from the flesh when he was picked up. The driver speeded on after dragging Copenhaver 60 feet along the gut ter. Several others besides the driv er were in the car, but no one was close enough on the street to get the license number. Coupenhaver is 19 years old, and was employed in the store of H. C, Masters of Chula Vista, who has offered a reward of $100 for the apprehen sion of the driver or owner of the car that struck the boy. Chula Vista is just south of San Diego, Cal. Parties in the city from lone Sat urday express the opinion that the recent freeze did no damage to wheat In that part of the county. Ed Lindgren, who farms the C. T. Walker land, expressed some fears that his Federation might be hurt, and was in lone the lsat of the week to take out 300 sacks of seed wheat, to be prepared in case that the Federation on the place was killed. Our informant stated, how ever, that Mr. Lindgren would use the wheat for spring seeding in any event Winter conditions have been Just right in the vicinity of the Big But ter creek ranch of John H. Hayes & Son. There was a solid month of cold weather before the break up, but this was not severe and stock prospered right along, is the statement given us yesterday by Joe Hayes, who was in the city on business affairs. Mr. Hayes further stated that sheep and all stock were never in better condition than at present, and he looks forward to a prosperous season for 1928. Albert Smith, who has the con tract for the surfacing on the Lna Vlnson gap, and who was compelled to lay off on the work for the per iod of bad weather, was in town Friday. He thinks that the present open spell will permit his finishing about 600 feet of surfacing remain ing on the road. Should weather conditions permit, he will then re turn to the work on the Heppner Spray road, T. J. Humphreys made a trip out to the mining district the first of the week. He is one among many of the Hcppner folks who have filed locations in the new Morrow county Eldorado. Judge Benge and Road master McCaleb are others. Wheth er these men have decided to aban don their present jobs and turn miners Is not yet made known, but anything may happen. W. W. Bechdolt and son Archie, of Hardman, spent a few hours in the city on Monday. David Hynd brought In some of the men from Rose Lawn ranch In Sand Hollow on Tuesday evening to see the war picture, "The Big Par ade," at the Star theater. Other help on the ranch came in Monday evening with Billy Hynd, and this arrangement made it possible for everyone out that way to see this greatest of all war pictures. At the Hynd ranches every one is busy with the sheep right now. In Sand Hollow lambing will begin about the first of March, and the Cecil flocks will start much sooner. Mr. Hynd is authority for the statement that sheep and stock on the Hynd ranches is in the pink of condition, and prospects fine for a splendid lambing season. Dan Barlow was looking after business in the city on Saturday from his Rhea creek ranch. He is milking quite a herd of cows these days and expeets to add more milk stock later. A fine lot of turkeys were marketed from the place this winter, and preparations are being made to raise a large drove next season, but Dar. thinks the milk cows are the best paying proposi tion and he finds dairying on his al falfa ranch the ideal industry. . According to Echo News, flood conditions on lower Butter creek were feared the past week, owing to the heavy snow In the upper country, and the sudden melting by the Chinook winds. An ice Jam in Butter creek above Otis Mccar ty's place caused water to flood the McCarty yard and cellar, and blast ing had to be resorted to in order to break the jam. The cellar and yard about the O. F. Thomson house was also flooded. Wm. Kummerland was in town Saturday, having been somewhat shut in for a few weeks on account of the cold and the subsequent melt ing of the snow, which made get ting out difficult. The mall route out his way was tied up for a con siderable time, also, by the wash out of a bridge that made it Im possible for the rural delivery man to come by his place. W. P. Mahoney, Frank Gilliam, J. G. Thomson, H. A. Cohn, D. T. Goodman, Gay M. Anderson and La Verne Van Marter were among those who went to The Dalles the first of the week to attend the trial of H. A. Duncan. Mr. Duncan's case was called for Tuesday, and his attorneys are C. L. Sweek of this city and S. E. Van Vactor of The Dalles. Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Barlow of Eight Mile have moved to Hermis- ton and will occupy theR. C. Can field house on Gladys avenue, after j some repair work has been finished on the building. Mr. Barlow is a relative of Mr. and Mrs. Tilson in he Columbia district and will be local agent for a washing machine. Hermiston Herald.
