Death came suddenly to John A. Patterson, pioneer Heppner drug gist, at his home In this city on Sun day morning at about 8:00 o'clock, his demise being the result of cere bral hemorrhage, though he had not been well for some time. Driving home from his piece of business Sat urday morning, Mr. Patterson went to bed, complaining of severe pain in the head. On Sunday morning, however, he appeared much better and ate a hearty breakfast, Boon after which he was attacked by the stroke and died immediately. ' Funeral services were held at Ma sonic hall on Tuesday at 11:00, and that evening the remains were shipped to Portland where services were held on Wednesday at the crematorium. The services here were largely attended by friends and neighbors and members of the Masonic order, and the floral offer ings were many and very beautiful. A short address was delivered by Rev. F. K. Spaulding and a male quartet consisting of M. D. Clark, Dean T. Goodman, W. O. Dix and Vawter Crawford, sang two appro priate hymns, Mrs. C. L. Sweek as sisting at the piano. John Ancil Patterson was born September 16, 1854, In Elmlra, New York, son of Robert and Mary Pat terson, and his boyhood days were spent on the farm. In 1873 he was married to Rebecca Griffiths at Horneville, New York, and for al most 56 years they journeyed life's pathway together. Mr. Patterson took up railroading and became a locomotive engineer, which occupa tion he followed for many years. Coming west In 1878 he worked for different railroads in California, Washington and Oregon, and it was his privilege to drive the first train into Heppner upon the completion of the branch of the O.-W. R. N. to this city in December, 1888. With his family he took up his residence here while Mr. Patterson continued with the railroad company for some fifteen years as engineer on the branch, and his railroad experience covered a period of thirty-five years. Upon retiring from this work, he went Into the drug business with his son with whom he had formed a partnership some years before leav ing the railroad, nad the firm of Patterson & Son, druggists, has been one of the business fixtures of this city for the past quarter of a cen tury or more. Surviving Mr. Patterson are his widow, Rebecca Patterson and son Ben R. Patterson, who lives at Pas adena, Calif., where he and his fath er also conducted a drug business. He was a 32nd degree Mason and member of the Shrine, belonging to Heppner Lodge No. 69, A. F. & A. M., and Heppner Chapter No. 26, Royal Arch Masons. O'Connor Bros. Add To Land Holdings Jerm O'Connor was in town Tues day and closed a deal with R. W. Owen for 920 acres of range land which was surrounded by the other lands of O'Connor Bros, on Rhea creek. This now gives these young sheepmen a total of some 7000 acres of good range and hay land in that vicinity, making their ranch one of the best In the county. They will run three bands of sheep for the winter. Mr. O'Connor reports that the grass on the range has started nice ly, but is in need of rain to make it come along properly. Should mois ture sufficient arrive soon, the fall range will be excellent. RHEA CREEK. Rhea Creek Grange met October 6 with a large number In attend ance.

The wheat market perked up a little at Heppner on Saturday and a number of sales are reported. The prevailing price was $1.0214. Much wheat yet remains to be sold in the county, however, and may be held for- better prices. City Election Calling Out Many Candidates For a number of years past the city election has been a rather quiet affair, as it was possible much of the time to get just a sufficient number of candidates to fill the va cancies, and this was often those who were retiring, and they would be persuaded to run again. In this manner, no contest was on, and con sequently little interest taken by the electorate. It will be somewhat dif ferent this year, as already there appears two full tickets. During the past week, M. L. Case filed for mayor, and at the same time the petitions of T. J. Humph reys, John Hlatt and Spencer Craw ford were presented, duly verified, to Clerk Anderson, asking their names be placed on the city ticket for councilmen. Later W. G. Mc carty handed In his petition for mayor, and the petitions of Gay M. Anderson, L. E. Bisbee- and Frank Shively have been filed for council men. All these are good men, and it will be up to the voters to decide whom they shall have serve them for the next four years. The retir ing officers will be Mayor Noble, who has been at the head of the city government for the past six years, and Councilmen M. D. Clark, L. E. Bisbee and Chas. Thomson. LITTLE DAUGHTER DIES.

TMsY&elt By Arthur Brisbane How to Be Famous. Faster Air Mail. Warnings to Middle Aged. Trillions Count. There are many ways of making the world talk about you. One philosopher jumped into the crater of Vesuvius. A slave, that his name might be remembered, burned the Temple of Diana at Ephesus. Disraeli wore waistcoats of scar let and gold, and curled his hair in beautiful black ringlets In the House of Commons, and Miss So phia Curtlss gave a dinner party for her favorite horse, named Sur prise." The horse was brought to the ta ble; many well-known stage folk at tended and ate while the horse ate. That happened twenty years ago, but now that Miss Curtlss dies, aged sixty-five, everey newspaper will mention it Thank heaven, the President and Postmaster-General New, the Post Office at least encourages flying, In earnest In the Post Office, flying is treated as a separate important enterprise, not tacked on to post onlee trains and trucks as a "minor auxiliary." Not satisfied with excellent air mail service, the Post Office plans to increase mall plan speed thirty five miles an hour, making the trip between the Atlantic ani Pacific In twenty-four hours, cutting off one day. That is prorgess. A well-known merchant, fifty-five years old, played a "hard, fast game of tennis, beating players half his age, went home, told his wife about it, and was dead a little later. Tennis or any other violent game is dangerous to every man past forty. Howard M. Andersno, typesetter, seventy years old, very strong, says, "Take a cold bath every morning. I get up at 5, can do cat iwheels and handsprings." Mr. Anderson might do double back somersaults and still it would be foolish for a man of seventy, or any age past thirty, to take a cold bath in the morning before exer cising. Your nervous system should not be shocked violently, but saved to give warnings and information. A cold bath in the morning in many cases is a short cut to the grave. Professor Albert A. Michelson, of Chicago University, Nobel prize winner, and greatest living physi cist, has concluded experiments at Pasadena, confirming his findings as to the speed of light. The speed, inconceivable to our minds, is 186, 284 miles a second. Some ask, "Why bother about a few miles In a speed like that?" The matter is very important to science. One of the so-called "outside uni verses" is one million light years away from our little earth, which revolves is a cosmic city called the Milky Way. One million light years is the distance that light can travel in one million years. At that distance, a difference In speed of one mile to the second would mean a difference of thirty- one trillion five hundred and thirty six billion miles, enough of a differ ence, even In astronomy. Some day a more highly devel oped race, able to think In trillions and in the fourth dimension, may want to know just how far away that other universe is. We may all go there some day. "In my Father's house are many mansions. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. Whereas, it has pleased our Heav enly Father to summon to her Eter nal Rest our sister, Ella N. Florence who was a faithful member of San Soucl Rebekah Lodge No. 33, Therefore, be it resolved, that San Souci Rebekah Lodge No. 33, in testimony of its loss and to express its love, drape its charter for thirty days, and that we tender to the family of our departed sister our deepest sympathy, and that a copy of these resolutions be spread on our minutes, and a copy be sent to the family. Even death has a wonderful mis sion Though It robs us of those we love; It lifts our hearts from our sur roundings, To long for that meeting above. No matter how heavy the burden, No matter how great the despair, Doesn't Heaven seem nearer and dearer, To know that our loved ones are there." HATTIE WIGHTMAN, ELLA BENGE, CHARLOTTE GORDON, Committee Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Bisbee return ed home on Friday evening from their trip to Palo Alto, California, where they left their son Orrln, who is entering Stanford university. They report having had a, very pleasant trip, returning by way of Reno, Nevada. BREAD GRAIN MARKET FIRM FOR LAST WEEK The general tone of grain, feed and seed markets was firm to high er last week, reports the weekly rum Market Sevlaw of the Oregon State Agrlenltam Extension Ser vice, bat livestock markets reflect ed seasonal flats. Current (applies of dairy and poultry products are.... ample. Pratt and not markets gen erally Improved. Corvallis, Ore., October 8. Bread Grain. Wheat markets on the whole were unchanged to slightly higher last week. Rye showed Im provement on export Inquiry and is considered to be in rather firm po sition. Soft wheats were about steady at" $1.48-11-49 in St. Louis for No. 2 grade bulk basis, which is a little better than this kind was bringing a year ago but not nearly so high as last April and May. The world supply of bread grain, ac cording to present information, Is not greatly different from a year ago. In the northern hemisphere there appears to be about 5 per cent more wheat but rye production is enough less to offset the increase in wheat Southern hemisphere crops are more promising than a year ago, but old stocks there are about 30, 000,000 bushels lower. On the de mand side, in addition to the normal increase in consumption of perhaps 5 per cent, there is a poor potato crop in prospect in Europe and the corn crop is also small there. Feed Grains. Corn prices were sharply higher. Oats were firm. Barley prices advanced In both do mestic and foreign markets. Flax advanced. Feed grain markets are influenced by short carryover stocks and lower prospective production of corn in the United States and Eu rope than expected earlier In the season. A short potato crop in Eu rope is also a factor in the situa tion. Domestic supplies of feed grain are large however, particular ly in the Corn Belt, while the sup ply of livestock for feeding Is short. A private statistician reports a ra tion of feed to livestock of 116 which would indicate the largest relatives supply of feed grain for many years. There is a better balance between supply and demand In most parts of the country than In the Corn Belt Hay, Pasture and Feeds. The gen eral condition of pastures and ranges is not so good, which has Im proved demand for hay and feeds. High protein feeds and choice al falfa hay tend to advance in price. Potatoes. Digging of main crop potatoes is now general and reports of the yield vary. The crop may not be as big as the September es timate, but on the other hand some yields indicate no shortage of po tatoes. Poultry. No increase in consump tion but larger receipts resulted in building up stocks of storage eggs during the past month to a point above the large holdings of a year ago. This situation is in reverse to that of earlier months of the pres ent year and has resulted in a level of prices scarcely equal to last year at this time instead of from 3 to 6 cents higher as prevailed through out much of the season. Informa tion remains incomplete regarding the probable trend of production this fall and winter. Some decrease in numbers of pullets is expected but on the other hand favorable weather and an abundance of cheap er ieea may iena to nom production up. The United States situation is giving some concern to Canadian egg interests as well as to holders of cold storage stocks in this coun try as indicated by prices of eggs for future delivery. Dairy Products. A very favorable season for butter production is ex pected in Australia and New Zea land which with increasing produc tion in this country is tending to curb the seasonal rise in prices which are now about In line with a year ago whereas prices in July and August were 3 to 5 cents above 1927. Cheese stocks were about 14,- 000,000 pounds higher on September 1 than a year ago and 10,000,000 pounds over average, with a ten dency to accumulate. Milk prod ucts are in better relative position, except there may be some diver sion of milk to condenseries from other purposes. Livestock. General weakness fea tured the large livestock markets last week, the result of seasonal market gluts. Wool and Mohair. Current In formation continues to indicate a downward trend in foreign wool values and the differential which has existed for a year or more over United States markets has been narrowed. Domestic markets were about steady. Fruits and Vegetables. Further Improvement in the general Euro pean apple market was reported, Washington Johnathans Extra Fan cy 150-175 brought 53.53 at Liver pool auction. Rome Beauty of same description brought $2.98 a box, The European prune market is con sidered sound at present level and may rise. Pear values are very firm, The California walnut crop is turn ing out a little better than expected but will be only about 68 per cent of the 1927 produtcion. Walnut prices are said to be 20 to 25 per cent higher than a year ago. The Tientsin market is firm at about 9 cents a pound c. 1. f. Pacific coast ports but American offers range on ly 814 to stt cents. Australia Is paying a little higher. FOR SALE Ford Truck Good cab and express body. Good condi tion. Very cheap. Heppner Oarage, County Pomona Grange Holds Meeting at Irrigon Willows, Ore., Oct 8 Morrow County District Pomona Grange met in an all-day session at Irrigon on Saturday, October 6, being one of the most successful and inter esting meetings since our organi zation more than two years ago. The Irrigon Grangers proved them selves gracious hosts both by en tertainment provided, and the two delicious banquets served to more than a hundred guests. The program was full every min ute from the band concert by the Irrigon Club band through the splendid address by Ex-Governor Pierce on the vital Income tax prob lem as It affects the farmer. Of special interest was an origin al essay read by Sister Readell of Wasco county entitled "Where Rolls the Oregon." Prof. R. S. Bes see's address on "More Profitable Farming" as applied by him to the irrigated sections was of pratlcular benefit to the progressive farmer. Several readings, monologs, and song numbers by the various sub ordinate granges, composed the lighter and more entertaining num bers on the program. Among resolutions adopted were the following: 1st Invitation to the National Grange to meet In the Northwest in 1929. 2nd. Enforcement of the trespass law during the pheasant season, as the numerous hunters are becoming more of a nuisance than the birds. Visitors from Union, Umatilla and Wasco counties helped in making the meeting of interest Brother and Sister W. R. Geckeler of La Grande represented the state grange. Brother Geckeler's few re marks were especially beneficial to the wheat farmers. Greenfield Grange is fast becom ing the banner grange in exempli fying the fifth degree work. In their usual dignified and pleasing manner they initiated a class of nineteen. Willows Grange will entertain Pomona in lone on Saturday, Jan uary 5th. s Maurice Kopple received word by letter yesterday of the serious In jury of his brother, Louis, who was hurt In an automobile accident In Georgia and received a broken leg.
