HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEB. 7, 1929. PAGE FIVE George N. Peck reports some 18 inches of snow on the level 1b Clark's canyon, and he feels that the wheat fields will receive much benefit from the moisture it con tains. The first big fall sort of melt ed and settled down until there was not a great deal left, when the second storm came. None of the water from this melting ran off and the ground got the benefit, there being not more than two inches of frost for the water to penetrate and loosen up. Should the present lay er of snow gradually melt away it will add greatly to the supply of moisture over the wheat fields. As a matter of fact, up to date there is a shortage in rain fall, but this may be made up, and like other farmers, Mr. Peck is feeling pretty good over the outlook, E. Albee, who has been spending some time trapping and killing coy otes and rabbits for their pelts in the lower sand country, having headquarters at the Kilkenny ranch, is back In town. He reports a blizzard following the rabbit drive two weeks ago having prevented his skinning but a small portion of the animals killed in the drive, and heavy snow since making trapping impractical. It was not possible for him to get a complete check on the rabbits killed in the drive, though he believes 3000 to be a fair esti mate. Hugh and Harvey Smith, farm ers of the lone section, were attend ing to business affairs in Heppner yesterday. These boys farm a por tion of the F. H. Wilson ranch out from lone, and report that entire country as being buried under near ly twenty inches of snow. Should the snow go off easily and the mois ture enter the ground, it will be of much benefit to the growing crops. In the meantime, it is none too easy getting around. Word received at Lexington an nounced the death, early in the week of Mrs. J. D. Brown. Mrs. Brown was in the east at the time of her passing, and the remains were being shipped to Lexington for burial beside her husband, who passed away about a year ago, and it is expected that the funeral will be Friday morning, if body arrives at Lexington by that time. Sheriff Bauman and Deputy Mc Duffee departed the end of the week for Salem with two prisoners, Chas. Bookman and John Oilman, sen tenced to one year each in the peni tentiary upon pleading guilty In cir cuit court last week to the charge of manufacture and possession of intoxicating liquor. The officers were expected home on Wednesday. R. A. Thompson, who is in the midst of lambing a band of ewes at Cecil, reports that he is having splendid success, and to date has suffered no loss whatever because of weather conditions. There is some apprehension, however, be cause of the hay situation, and sheepmen are not anxious to have this cold snap hang on too long. Tom O'Brien, Butter creek sheep man, was in Heppner on Monday, being able to get through the snow banks encountered between his home and this city. Having an abundance of good feed, Tom is not worried by the cold snap and heavy snow. He will not be ready for lambing for a couple of three weeks yet George McDuffee arrived home from Portland on Tuesday, driving in from The Dalles, where he had left his car. He found the highway in pretty good shape between that city and Heppner, and states that the Columbia River highway is open on into Portland, but is pretty icy, and traveling none too safe on this account. The next regular meeting of the local Union Missionary society will be held at the Episcopal church on Friday evening, Feb. 15. The pro gram will be of much interest and the public Is cordially invited to attend. The missionary societies of the Methodist, Episcopal and Christian churches unite in these meetings. Commissioner L. P. Davidson was in attendance at the regular session of county court yesterday, having quite fully recovered from his recent severe illness. Judge Benge and Commissioner Bleakman were each at his post of duty, and business for the February term was promptly dispatched. Jos. J. Nys reports that his little daughter, Kathryn, was able to leave the Doernbecker hospital in Portland, and she is now with her mother at the apartments where the family is residing temporarily, to remain until she has fully recov ered her health. Mrs. Clay C. Clark departed for Portland on Tuesday, taking her little daughter, Mary Jean to the Doernbecker hospital there for treatment The little girl has been 111 for some time and it was thought best to take her to a specialist. The ladles of the Christian church will hold a cooked food and candy sale at the store of Humph reys Drug Co., on Thursday, Feb ruary 14 St. Valentine's Day. ATTENTION!
