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.
