Climax Came Yesterday
at 108; Men Over
come by Heat.
The heat wave passing over the
state the last few days is presumed
to have reached its peak at Heppner
between 2 and 3 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon when the mercury tipped
the 108 mark, the highest temper
ature so far recorded during the
spell. Local weather records are
not complete but so far as it has
been possible to determine this is
the record temperature for a per
iod of 30 years.
Sundny was the first unusually hot
day when the mercury neared the
100 mark. Monday was still hotter
with 102, and seven people were
reported overcome by the heat while
several harvest crews layed off
when horses panted violently and
showed signs of being overcome.
Tuesday's record was 106
Three men working on the sec
tion crew on the local branch of
the O.-W. R. & N. were among the
heat victims, while three men on
the highway oiling crew below lone
were also reported to have been
overcome. The other was a young
man from Pilot Rock, Thurlow
Smith, who was traveling up Wil
low creek when a tire went out and
he had to get out and fix it While
thus engaged the heat got the best
of him completely and he was un
conscious when found by hay hands
working at the Jack Hynd place
near Cecil. Mr. Hynd took charge
of resuscitating the young man,
and it was some little time before
he was revived.
Fank Gilliam, government wea
ther recorder for Heppner, gives
the temperatures recorded. He has
kept the record for 15 years, dur
ing which time he says summer
temperatures have rarely exceeded
the 100 mark. He is also certain
that Wednesday is the hottest day
he has ever experienced, and he is
one of the very old residents of
the county. Arthur Smith, who kept
the record for several years before
Mr. Gilliam, says that 104 is the
highest temperature he has any rec
ollection of, which, he believes, was
in the summer of 1904.
Unauthentic reports reaching
Heppner state that the mean tem
perature at Arlington Tuesday was
115, while Pendleton on the same
day recorded 112. Mr. Gilliam says
a difference of from 3 to 7 degrees in
the mean temperatures at Heppner
and Pendleton always exists, the
latter being hotter in summer and
colder in winter.
Except for personal discomfort,
the hot weather is welcome in the
county at the present time. Har
vesting is on in most sections and
grain in the later sections is being
ripened rapidly, so that it may be
harvested in good season. Haymen
In north Morrow are now cutting
their second crop of alfalfa, which
has made a splendid growth.
Though the local water supply Is
becoming short no immediate emer
gency measures are expected. The
legion swimming tank has been em
pty this week, but it Is expected to
be filled for use Sunday.
Heppner Rodeo Dates
Set For Sept. 27 to 29
C. W. McNamer, president of the
Heppner Rodeo association, has an
nounced the dates for the 1928 per
formance to be September 27, 28
and 29. The list of events now off
the press, gives the regular popu
lar events of former years. Horse
and pony races, pony express, relay
and cowboy races, calf roping, bull
dogging and bucking contest are
all Included in the lineup, besides
an exhibition chariot race each day
and Roman race the last two days.
On Saturday, the last day, the Mor
row county derby will again be a
main feature. With prizes of $100,
$50 and $25, this race will be three
times around the quarter-mile track,
taking live horses to enter and three
to start, and free for all.
The management is now busy
lining up a band and other amuse
ment features, and they are confi
dent that the show this year will
eclipse all former offerings. Any
one Interested in obtaining a copy
of the list of events, may obtain the
same by writing to Mr. McNamer,
or Leonard Gilliam, secretary,
Heppner.
MISS KEITHLEY AT O. N. S.
Corvallls, July 24. Alice Kelthley,
teacher at the Rocky Bluff school
near Heppner, has been doing prac
tice teaching work under the su
pervision of the Oregon State Nor
mal school this summer. She first
taught at Washington school In
Corvallls but was later transferred
to the Children's Farm Home close

Lexington Man Dies ,
Result of Accident
Earnest Christenson, young man
residing at Lexington, died on Tues
day at Long Creek as a result of an
accident he Buffered on Monday. Mr.
Christenson, who was In the John
Day country temporarily, while his
family were under quarantine, was
riding after some horses, when he
struck his head on a tree stump.
The hurt seemed to be rather light
at the time, but he later lapsed in
to unconsciousness and did not ral
ly, passing away Tuesday. The con
tact with the tree stump had been
of such force as to cause fracture
of the skull.
Mr. Christenson was born at New
berg, Oregon, June 11, 1893, and died
July 24, 1928, at the age of 35 years,
1 month and 13 days. He attended
school at Lexington and had lived
in this community the most of his
life. He is survived by his widow
and four children, besides one bro
ther, Frank, residing at Lewiston,
Idaho. He was a kind and loving
husband and father, and a young
man well respected in the commun
ity where he resided. The funeral
services were held at Lexington on
Wednesday, with interment at Lex
ington cemetery, Milton W. Bower,
pastor of the Church of Christ at
Heppner, conducting the services.
LOCAL NEWS HEMS
Jasper Crawford of the G. T. force

along the coast that this will be the
most popular highway In the state
when completed, and its completion
Is expected to open up a vast indus
trial and agricultural activity In
what have heretofore been practic
ally isolated regions. Resort busi
ness along the coast has been slow
so far this season, owing to cold
weather most of the time.

and Grain Fed Cattle
Hold Up Well.
(U. S. D. A.-O. S. C. Market Review.)
Corvallls, Ore., July 23. BREAD
GRAIN. Official information at
present points to a world's supply
of wheat for the 1928-29 marketing
season very little different from
that of the 1927-28 season, taking
Into consideration stocks on hand
nnd prospective production. Should
the quality be better, it would have
the effect of increasing the supply.
On the other hand, demand should
be greater at least in proportion to
increase in population, and there Is
some tendency for consumers of
other bread grains to shift to wheat
The rye crop in the United States
and Europe Is less promising than
last year. The general trend of
prices, however, was downward
again last week under pressure of
heavy marketing of hard red win
ter wheat and unusually favorable
progress of the spring wheat crop
in Canada. Rust damage has been
unimportant thus far this season.
Substantial premiums were paid for
good quality cash grain suitable for
immediate milling. Soft red winter
declined the first of the week but
advanced at the close.
FEED GRAINS. Corn held steady
last week but barley declined rap
idly, especially In eastern markets.
Barley markets were Influenced by
new crop barley of which there is
prospect of larger supplies in the
United States and the world. The
Increase in barley acreage in the
United States was about 30 per cent
over last year and production last
year was heavy although a Bhort
crop in Europe provided an unusual
export outlet The oats crop is also
figured larger than last year, while
livestock numbers are somewhat
reduced. Firm elements in the feed
grain situation at this time are a
very small carry-over of old grain,
the olllcial estimates of a corn crop
about 50,000,000 bushels less than
last year instead of a larger one as
was Indicated by acreage and early
trade reports, and smaller prospec
tive supplies of hay and feed.
Should the corn crop be no larger
than estimated, the total supply of
feed grain in the country to be mar
keted in 1928-29 would be about the
same as last year. Weather condi
tions since the first of July when
the report was made have
been favorable, however, for the
young corn plants. There is a bet
ter prospective balance this year
between feed grain production and
livestock numbers in the western
states, particularly in the Pacific
northwest.
DAIRY PRODUCTS. Butter
markets were just about steady
last week and the shortage of stor
age stocks compared to last year
continues to increase.
POULTRY PRODUCTS. The
tendency for stocks of eggs in stor
age to Increase faster than a year
ago during recent weeks has caused
some dullness In egg markets, al
though stocks were smaller on July
l, v.K8, than a year earlier.
LIVESTOCK. The United States
Department of Agriculture lamb
crop report for 1928 indicates that
the lamb crop was 25,989,000 or 8
per cent larger than In 1927 and 9
per cent larger than In 1926. Most
of this Increase Is In, the western
states, only about 90,000 more Inmb:

NEW WHEAT DISPLAYED.
County Agent Smith has a strik
ing display of wheat at his office,
taken from a field on the Lawrence
Redding farm. It is a cross between
Arcadian and hard federation and
counts between 50 and 60 kernels
to the head. This is a new wheat,
very winter hardy, that promises to
be a high yielder. Interest In it
was keen at the nursery meeting on
the Redding farm late in June, and
farmers will be anxious to know
how It checks up after harvest
From all indlcatoins it is one of
the best wheats yet found for this
section. Another plot was sown on
the B. H. Peck farm on Social ridge.

DISCUSS FISH BILLS
E
State Should Give Serious
Thought to Resources
Says Association.
(From Oregon Game Protective Assn.)
The proponents of these meas
ures seek thereby to save to all the
people of Oregon for recreational
and for food and game fishing pur
poses, what yet remains of the un
appropriated waters of the four
most widely advertised and best
known streams of the state. The
procedure adopted is neither new
nor novel. Our legislative session
of 1915, by a like act, withdrew from
appropriation or condemnation the
waters of the several streams form
ing falls and scenic beauty along
the Columbia River highway. The
propriety of so doing can not be
seriously questioned, in view of the
vast sums of money expended in ad
vertising this single asset of the
state, and the handsome returns
paid upon the investment by tour
ist travel. California has reserved
for recreational use the best of her
few streams the Klamath river.
Tourist revenue paid to the state of
California now amounts to four
hundred million dollars per annum
well over a million dollars a day.
The mountains and streams of the
state of Maine, because of the prox
imity of this district to large cen
ters of population, are bringing
more millions of tourist dollars into
the state each year than that state
has ever heretofore derived from
all other sources of industrial rev
enue combined.
The recreational facilities of the
Pacific Northwest, and the state of
Oregon in particular, are unexcelled.
Their money value Is as yet scarce
ly guessed at and less appreciated.
They constitute by far the greatest
single capital asset of the state. The
four streams in question are known
to sportsmen and nature lovers the
world over. Thousands upon thous
ands of dollars have been spont in
advertising the sport fishing they
afford and in stocking them with
both food and game fish. Our fish
packing business has long been
third in state importance, produc
ing millions of dollars annually. It
cannot exist without brood streams.
The four involved are of vital im
portance to this industry. Espec
ially so is the McKenzie, the great
est Oregon brood stream of our
Chinook salmon. It is well known
that a large proportion of the Chin
ook salmon pack of the Columbia
river has its origin in the McKen
zie. This source of supply will cease
to exist if high dams in that stream
are permitted. Who may safely say
that one great industry and natur
al resource should be destroyed for
the promotion of another? The
questions presented by the proposed
bills are therefore, first, whether
the waters Involved are for the time
being more valuable to the state at
large and to our salmon canning in
dustry for recreational and fish
propagation purposes than for pur
poses of hydro-electrical or further
Irrigation development; and second,
whether the remaining water power
still capable of development in
these streams is safer in the hands
of the state of Oregon than for all
time given away into private own
ership. Tile membership of the Oregon
Game Protective association is
strictly representative of the citizen
ship of the state. It numbers as

Mrs. Egbert Young Dies
At Eight Mile Yesterday
Death came to Mrs. Egbert L.
Young at their home on Eight Mile
at 7:20 Wednesday evening, caused
primarily from heat exhaustion.
The spell came on Mrs. Young a
little after the middle of the after
noon and while her husband was
away at work at a neighboring
farm. He was finally reached by a
neighbor who had been called over
the telephone, and when arriving at
home he found Mrs. Young in an
unconscious state. A physician was
immediately called,' but it was found
impossible to render but very tem
porary relief, and the end came at a
little after seven o'clock. Funeral
arrangements are not yet fully
made, but will be completed for
Saturday, services to be held at the
Methodist church in this city, con
ducted by Rev. F. R. Spaulding, pas
tor, with burial following In Ma
sonic cemetery. Mrs. Young was
aged 54 years and 5 months, and is
survived by her husband and nu
merous other relatives residing In
this county, being a sister of Dan
and Frank Barlow. A little over
two years ago she suffered a stroke
of paralysis, and from this she
never entirely recovered, though
able to get about fairly well, and
also to assist quite materially in
doing the work about the house.
Undulant Fever, A New
Disease In This State
(From State Board of Health)
There have recently come to the
attention of the State Board of
Health several cases of undulant
fever, a disease hitherto unknown,
or at least unrecognized, in this
state. The term undulant is applied
to this disease because It is charac
terized by waves of fever lasting a
week or so alternating with periods
of several days when there is no, or
little fever. Undulant fever Is also
known as Malta fever because the
disease was first observed on the
island of Malta in the Mediterran
ean Sea. There, as well as in other
parts of the world where Malta fe
ver occurred, human infection was
traceable to the use of goat's milk.
In this country undulant fever has
been largely contracted by the use
of milk from cows that had prema
turely lost their young, a condition
known as "contagious abortion."
The few cases discovered in Ore
gon drank milk from cattle "that
were known to have aborted. The
germ causing Malta fever, Bacillus
Melitensis, can be distinguished only
with the greatest difficulty from the
germ causing contagious abortion.
Bacillus Abortus.
Contagious abortion in cattle pre
sents a serious problem not only in
the health hazards offered to the
consumers of raw milk, but also In
the tremendous loss in dollars and
cents to the dairy industry of this
state. Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veter
inarian, estimates that from five to
ten per cent of the herds in the Wil
lamette valley are Infected with the
germ causing contagious abortion,
and that the loss to the dairymen is
easily over one and a half million
dollars annually.
Undulant fever has often bee l
mistaken for typhoid fever, partic
ularly where the disease has been of
a mild type. Danish authorities as
sert that there are more case3 of
undulant than typhoid fever in Den
mark. The number of cases of un--dulant
fever has increased remark
ably in the United States in the past
year because of correct diagnosis
of the disease.
The chief symptoms of the dis
ease are loss of appetite, loss of
weight, marked weakness, head
ache, chills, fever, profuse sweat
ing, and frequently pain in the
joints. The average duration of the
illness from the onset to conval
escence is three months, but cases
lasting a year or longer are not at
all rare. The mortality is very low.
The germ may be found in the
blood stream and in the urine. In
suspected cases blood for the agglu
tination test should be submitted to
the State Hygienic Laboratory. All
cases of undulant fever should be
reported to the State Board of
Health. The patient should be kept
in a modified quarantine. Dis
charges should be disinfected, and
all sanitary precautions employed
in the control of intestinal diseases
should be applied to undulant fever.
The existence of undulant fever
in Oregon is another argument for
the pasteurization of milk. In rural
communities where pasteurizing
plants are not available, milk from
infected cows should be boiled be
fore drinking.
GRANGE HELPS BAND.
Irrigon Grange is making plans
to provide uniforms for their Boys
and Girls club band. This band is
unique in that so far as known It is
the only school band in the United
States composed wholly of club
members. Other subordinate
granges of the Morrow County Po

the Irrigon grange In raising money
to send the band to the state fair.
The band will be entertained there
from Sunday until Wednesday with

WOOL MEETING SET
1 AUGUST NINTH
Outside Speakers to Pre
sent All Sides of Indus
try to County Men.
What is expected to be a meeting
of much interest to wool men will
be a county division meeting of
the Oregon Woolgrowers associa
tion at Heppner, Thursday, August
9. K. G. Warner of Pilot Rock,
president of the association, to
gether with other association offi
cers and specialists of note In the
state' are scheduled to be on hand.
Though the outside men will have
plenty of worthwhile information to
disseminate, the main purpose of
the meeting will be to give raisers
a chance to air any grievances or
problems of any kind or every kind,
says C. W. Smith, county agent who
is taking an active part in helping
with arrangements for the meeting.
It is hoped there will be one hun
dred per cent attendance, for the
more who attend the livlier the
meeting.
Included in the line-up of vistiora
besides Mr. Warner are Fred Phil
lips, association vice president; Jas.
Kershaw, expert wool grader of the
Pacific Woolgrowers Co-operative
Marketing association; Harry Lind
gren, livestock specialist from Ore
gon State college; Stanley Jewett
of the U. S. Biological survey, and
Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinarian.
It can readily be seen from this
line-up that there can be no ques
tion brought up but what will re
ceive expert attention.
Mr. Kershaw's part of the pro
gram, besides answering any ques
tions that may be put to him in his
line, will be to stage a grading dem
onstration, for the purpose of which
several fleeces of local wool will be
provided.
This is one of a series of such
meetings being sponsored over the
state by the Oregon Woolgrowers
association.
Certified Seed Wheat
Plentiful In County
A great many inquiries have been
received by the county agent's of
fice seeking information as to where
seed wheat may be had. Mr. Smith
says the list of certified fields in the
county Is now complete and that
anyone wishing information may
now be supplied. The county agent
believes the supply of certified seed
will be sufficient to supply all lo
cal demand.
That Morrow county seed wheat
is in demand outside the county,
however, is evidenced by inquiries
from the outside. Parties in Baker
county desire a carload, and Wash
ington parties have written con
cerning half a car. Last year sev
eral carloads of seed wheat mostly
fortyfold, were shipped from the
county, bringing a premium over
the market price.
MORROW GENERAL HOSPITAL.
Mrs. Ed Bergstrom and baby have
returned to their home in Eight
Mile.
Mrs. Chas. Cox was admitted to
the hospital Sunday to undergo
medical treatment. She is much
improved and will soon return
home.
Albert Wilkinson of Hardman is
under treatment for a serious case
of bloodpoisoning in his hand as the
result of a scratch. He was at work
in the saw mill on Wall creek when
the hand was hurt and serious in
fection followed.
Harvey Medlock was thrown off a
combine at the Ed Engleman ranch
near lone Tuesday and was brought
to the hospital for treatment . For
tunately there were no bones brok
en. Earl Johnson of Eugene was ad
mitted to the hospital Tuesday for
medical treatment
Mrs. Shelly Baldwin, who has
been seriously ill the past week at
the hospital, is improving. She
should be able to return home soon.
MELBA CHIDSEY MARRIED.
From Sunday's Oregonian we
have the following account of the
marriage of Miss Melba Chldsey,
who with her parents resided for
many years at Heppner, and has
many relatives and friends in this
county who wish her happiness:
Miss Melba Chldsey, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Chidsey of Bri
dal Veil, Or., and Joseph E. Stoy,
son of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Stoy of
Centralta, Wash., were married at
the home of Mrs. L. D. Clabough,
a sister of the bride in Centralla,
Sunday at 2:30 o'clock. The cere
mony was read by Rev. C. H. Lor
Imer. Mr. and Mrs. Stoy will make their
homo in Longview following a short
trip.
THREE ARRESTED IN RAID.
Coy and Joe Thornburg and Buck
Padberg were arrested Saturday
night at Lexington when Sheriff
George McDuffee and Deputy How
ard McDuffee raided the Thornburg
woodshed in search of liquor. The
Thornburgs were under survellance
of the sheriff's oftlce for some time
on reports coming In and as a big
dance was scheduled there Satur
day evening it was believed an op
portune time to strike. The raid
netted a large keg of home-made
beer to be used as evidence
Preliminary hearing was waived
and each of the alleged miscreants
were bound over to the grand Jury
on $1000 bail.
