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.

liams were Eight Mile farmers in
the city on Saturday. They report
the snow going off quite rapidly out
that way.

at Boardman, was a business vis
itor In Heppner on Saturday.

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. On Eight Mile the

ception of some of the big drifts,
and Mr. Anderson states that be
cause of the extreme wetness, there
is but little bottom to the roads yet
The melting Bnow all disappeared
into the ground.
