HKPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAR. 7, 1929. PAGE SEVEN Frank Mason came near being the victim of a serious mishap while on the way to town Saturday morn ing In his jitney. When near the Burroughs place on Rhea creek he collided with the truck of R. A. Thompson who was carrying a heavy load of lumber, and the Ma son machine was struck by a board which broke the windshield just about on a level with Frank's head and the top of the car was ripped off. Mr. Mason fortunately escaped injury by promptly veering out of reach. Mr. Mason just recently re turned from a month spent at Med ford and Salem, his son, F. E Jr., being a law student at Willamette university. Prof. L. B. Kicker, for the past fifteen years or more connected with the Milton schools, was in Heppner with the Mac Hi basketball players. He was formerly located at Irrigon, in the early days of that community, teaching the school and working to subdue the sand under Irrigation, the latter proving to be an almost Insurmountable task dur ing the early history of the Irrigon project. It had been 18 years since Mr. Kicker visited Heppner last, but he found a few old time friends still on the turf here. E. J. Evans and Jim Helms were Lexington farmers in the city on Saturday. The snow had all disap peared into the ground in their sec tion and these gentlemen express the opinion that the Lexington country has one of the finest crop prospects at the present time that has been experienced in many years. The wheat fields certainly got the full benefit of the big snow, and this holds good to the borders of the sand country. The melting of the snow off the north hill sides caused a raise in the waters of both Blackhorse and Sourdough canyons, and as the snow has been disappearing from the foothills and along the edge of the timber belt In the southeastern part of the county, both Rhea creek and Willow creek have filled up pretty well, but there is no threat of serious high water in either stream. Guy Huston of Eight Mile was a visitor in Heppner on Friday. At that time there was still from eight to 15 Inches of snow at the Huston farm and no bare ground In sight. As the weather has turned much warmer since, we presume the snow in that vicinity is now pretty well settled Into the ground. Bert Kane, who has been in Port land for the past two months re ceiving surgical treatment, came up on Friday for a short visit with Mrs. Kane and Heppner friends. As the job of bone grafting which he is undergoing has not been com pleted, he returned to the city on Wednesday. The family of Jos. J. Nys have been caring for a case of measles during the week, their daughter, Kathryn, taking down with the ail ment shortly after the return of the family from Portland. Miss McLaughlin, trained nurse from Pendelton, is in charge of the case Jess Hall was In from the Harry Rood ranch on Heppner flat Mon day. The melting snow all went into the ground and the wheat fields are soaked aplenty for the time being. Jess stated that a man could not get across the field on horseback for miring down. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Olden were visitors in the city on Monday from their home In the Fairvlew section. For weeks they were snowed in, and It is none too easy to get out to the market road yet. The snow has gone, the fields taking up the moisture in good shape. W. B. Barratt has been spending several days at Heppner from his home in Portland. On Saturday he accompanied his son, J. G. Barratt to Pendleton where the latter at tended the meeting of the executive committee of the Oregon Woolgrow ers association. David Hynd was a visitor at Pen dleton on Friday where he went to close un a land deal. Hvnd Bros. company having recently added to their holdings in the Ukian section hv the nnrchnse of an additional 1000 acres from Roscoe Dickenson. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Barnett and their daughter. Mrs. Hank Parker, were Heppner visitors on Tuesday afternoon from their home at L,ex Ington. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Devlne of Lex Ington were visitors In Heppner for a short time on Tuesqny, Ed Llndeken and R. O. Stone were visitors here Tuesday fore noon from the Lindeken ranch south of lone. Mr. Lindeken thinks he will be able to start plowing with the tractors in a few days, as the surface of the ground is now drying. Investigation shows that the ground in that vicinity is wet down four feet, which is a mighty fine supply of reserve moisture for the coming crops. Walter Eubanks, lone turkey man, was a visitor here on Satur day, accompanied by Mrs. Eubanks. He thinks this winter, while it was severe, has been just what was needed because of the heavy fall of snow, the moisture from which all went Into the ground down his way. G. A. Farrens of Hardman was looking after business affairs here on Saturday. It has been hard get ting into town from up that way, but as the snow is leaving the con dition of roads is beginning to improve. Will Kirk and family are moving from Heppner to Bellingham, Wn., where Mr. Kirk will have work. They disposed of their furniture to Chas. Ritchie, whose family are moving into the Kirk residence. Mr. and Mrs. Harlan McCurdy of lone spent a few hours In Heppner on Saturday. Lambing at the Mc Curdy ranch has progressed well regardless of the bad weather and is now about completed. Oscar Keithley and Tilden Wil liams were Eight Mile farmers in the city on Saturday. They report the snow going off quite rapidly out that way. l. B. Chaffee, justice of the peace at Boardman, was a business vis itor In Heppner on Saturday. DRINK MORE MILK Wise old Mother Nature made milk for ohlldren.

Alfalfa Lawn Dairy WIGHTMAN BROS., Props. Phon. 80FS Mr. and Mrs. Lester Doollttle and Mrs. T. J. Humphreys departed for Portland on Wednesday, going to the city for the purpose of attend ing the funeral of the late Mrs. Fannie Rood, who died at sea while on her way to the Mediterranean, and whose body was expected to arrive at Portland this week-end. Funeral services will be held for Mrs. Rood in that city, following which the remains will be brought to Heppner for commitment, an nouncement of which service will appear later. Theodore Anderson was 'In town on Tuseday from his. Eight Mile home, the first time for two months. He is just recovering from an at tack of pleurisy that kept him down for two weeks.
