Egbert Young, who was looking after business in this city on Mon day, reports that there will be some very excellent crops harvested In his part of the Eight Mile section this season, providing present weather conditions prevail. We can verify Mr. Youngs statement as a trip through that part of the coun ty on Sunday afternoon revealed many excellent fields of grain now maturing in excellent shape. Mrs. Helen D.

Next Sunday, June 30th, will be the sixth Sunday after Pentecost, and the last Sunday of the month of June, which Is specially dedicated to the honor, veneration, and adora tion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ There will be a high mass in the'tocal church and mass in no other station In the entire county, it being the fifth Sunday of the month. This high mass will be cel ebrated before the Blessed Sacra ment with appropriate sermon by the pastor. Confessions will be heard before the mass and it is hoped that there will be crowds re ceiving Holy Communion, since the extraordinary ceremonies connect ed with the day are specially gotten up to thank God and the Sacred Heart for the evident blessings from heaven upon the entire coun ty, which blessing In the form of copious and opportune rains, has fallen upon all classes of people, In response to the many special re quests asked of God upon the peo ple. Confessions will be heard on Sat urday evening at 7 o'clock and In the morning before the mass. Holy Communion will be distributed be fore the mass, and the ceremony of the day will close with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and the consecration of the entire parish to the Sacred Heart The pastor asks all parties who have flowers to for ward same to the church on Satur day afternoon around four o'clock. The coming of the many rains at this time of the year and the same followed by the warm days are manifest Indications of God's In terest In His people, be the same Catholics or non-Cathollcs. There Is no room for chance, good luck, or good fortune, to explain the coming of these bounteus rains. Faith, pray er, trust In God and In His willing ness and eagerness to hear the prayers of an overburdened people alone explain these rains at this time. r - COURT PROCEEDINGS FOR THE JUNE TERM County Court met in regular ses sion with all officers present on Wednesday, June 5, 1929, when the following proceedings were had: Court accepted right of way deeds for Jordan-Rhea Creek raid.

Alfred Sibley, who Is employed on a ranch near Hermiston, was a guest at the home of the Misses Bernice and Bertha Sepanek on Wednesday. Miss Gertrude Tlchenor and Mrs. J: C. Thompson motored to Hermis'- ton and Echo on Thursday. The . folks in this vicinity who flninhed blading their summerfallow before the recent rains wish they had set In the house and read the comic sheet until after the rain was over. Most of them are having to run the blades again. Rudolph Gelger of Eugene was a Sunday guest of J. C. Thompson. C. Melville was a business visitor In Pendleton on Saturday.

The old Slocum mill will be re opened by the Heppner Pine Lum ber company, with operations to start within the next ten days, ac cording to the statement of A. G. Reschke, president and owner of the new company, now on the ground assisting In putting the ma chinery in shape for operation. The mill will start with a 25,000-feet daily capacity, and the output will be trucked to Heppner for shipment over he Union Pacific railroad, largely to eastern points, though it is the intention of the company to develop local trade as well. Mr. Reschke was reticent in re gard to the scope of development planned by the company, and said they would let its actions do the talking. He expressed himself well satisfied with the production possi bilities of the properties acquired. Mr. Reschke recently arrived in Portland, his former home, from Chicago where he was connected with the Universal Portland Cement Ucompany, and formerly was fir fac tory executive with the Long-Bell Lumber company. At one time he was connected with the traffic de partment of the Union Pacific rail road. For the present the head of fices of the company will be located at Portland. C. J. Harrison will be in entire charge of local operations, coming to the county from Portland. Mr. Harrison is an old-time lumberman having had many years experience in the pine lumber game. He has a crew at work rehabilitating the sawmill. ' The old Slocum mill, in active op eration for many years, is one of the most widely known mills local ly, being situated in one of the fin est stands of pine timber in the county. The property was recently held by Al Henriksen, formerly of this city, from whom It was acquir ed by Mr. Reschke's company. PASSED BY NORMAL AFTER THIRTY YEARS In 1899 William Lee McCaleb would have received his diploma from the Oregon State Normal school at Monmouth, had it not been for an illness which took him out of school shortly before the expiration of his three-year course. For several years fol lowing, Mr. McCaleb had Intend ed to return and complete the work for his diploma, but he never did. Now, after 30 years have passed he has the diploma, granted at the last meeting of the old board of regents who give way to the board of higher education creat ed at the last legislative session. . In a conversation with a mem ber of the board of regents some time ago, the regent suggested to Mr. McCaleb that the board might grant his diploma. Acting on the suggestion, Mr. McCaleb filed his showing with the board, and it was favorably acted upon, President Landreth signing the diploma as of date 1899. This does not entitle Mr. Mc Caleb to teach, nor has he any in tention of becoming a school teacher, as the school laws have changed in 30 years. He is proud, nevertheless, to hold the paper to which he feels he was entitled in recognition of his scholastic ef forts while in school.

JENNIE McMURRAY, Corres pondent lone and vicinity have been ob serving with interest the important Improvements made upon the eleva tor and warehouse of the lone Far mer's Elevator company. The first improvement was the installation of electric equipment to replace the 25 h.p. Delsel oil engine. The new equipment has proved to be very efficient and will be even more so during the rush of the wheat sea son. Often before this change was made hours were spent In efforts to start the Deisel engine. This hap pened most frequently during the rush season. Now only the fraction of a second is required to start the motors which move the wheat rap idly and efficiently. The second im provement, supervised by W. J. Walker of Antelope, is the addition to the warehouse begun May 30, and completed June 22 a three-weeks and a day job. The old platform was replaced by a new floor, and the roof was raised and extended to cov er the new floor. This change means an increased 20,000 capacity over the original 32,000.

Louis Balsiger estimates that we j'will have only a 60 per cent wheat crop this year. While there are many fields that will have a light yield, there are others that deserve special mention as being good. On the north side the Gorger brothers and Arthur Turner have fields that give promise a of good yield and on the south side the fields belonging to Mike Rowell, Pasco Brown and Lee Beckner are especially good. Robert Harbison, who is taking a five-year course in architecture at the University of Oregon, wilhnot be home this summer. He has em ployment in the C. H. Freeman ar chitect office in Portland.

While In Eaker the past week, the editor had the privilege of a visit to the'properties of the Ore gon Copper company some 25 miles northeast of that city. In company with Ed Hendryx, ex-newspape; man of Sumpter and Baker, a min ing enthusiast we were piloted through the ramifications of the nu merous tunnels and taken into the bowels f the earth for a distance of 650 feet, to the present lower level, and viewed what mother nature has stored up in mineral wealth, prin cipally copper, so far as present de velopment has uncovered. Some 20 years ago the first tunnel was run in this mine and revealed a remark able deposit of copper ore, then the work was held up for many years until about two years ago when the Oregon Copper company was form ed and sufficient capital raised to carry on development work on a far larger scale. The experimental stage in opening the mine is now about past, and Mr. Hendryx, who is largely interested in this prop erty, as well as in a newer develop ment joining it on the west and kown as the Clover Creek Consoli dated Copper company, gives it as his opinion that Oregon' Copper will soon be on a production basis, a mill for ore reduction construct ed at the mine and employment fur nished to some 150 or 160 men. An other year should bring this about It was our first experience in traveling through a mine of this nature, and the extent of the work already done was a great surprise, although we had been keeping pret ty close tab on the development since it started some two years ago. It was an experience to be greatly appreciated. The mining- industry in the Baker territory Is picking up rapidly and it should not be long until that little city will be on the map again as one of the busy min ing centers of the northwest LOCI NEWS ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Conover and O. M. Conover of Waitsburg, and Hugh Dunlap of Prescott Wash., were Saturday and Sunday visitors at Heppner, guests at the homes of Frank S. Parker and Vawter Crawford.

Visitors in Heppnr this week are Mrs. Ollie Cox, formerly of this city, and Mrs. E. G. Thompson and two children of Dunsmuir, Calif., and Monte Robison of Woodland, Calif.

Jon Con- der will look after her duties as Heppner correspondent for the Pen dleton East Oregonian during her absence. While it was quite hot in Heppner on Monday, and the same condition prevailed over the entire county, no damage to grain Is reported. The thermometer here registered about but on Tuesday cooler weather came, with a stiff breeze, and more moderate conditions now prevail. The wheat fields are maturing In fine shape at this time. Glenn Young, in town today from the Jake Young farm on Eight Mile, states that he will begin harvest about the 20th of July from present indications.

The ability of the more seasoned veterans from Sherman county told in the end, however, and they took the game 9-4, thus being practically assured the Wheatland league pennant Wasco started the scoring with one run in the second, hits by J. Soden and Bates, and an error by Gentry netting the tally. Heppner then stepped into the lead In the third, when the boys loosened up "Sky" Soden and touched him for three hits and four runs, a passed ball and Tucker's bad throw to first helping them along. D. Bleakman walked, stole second and went third on Erwin's hit Erwin also stealing; Sprouls popped out to first; Gentry laid down a grounder to Tucker . who nabbed Bleakman at home; Erwin scored on a passed ball; Drake singled, placing Gentry on third, and himself stole second, Gen try scoring and Drake taking third on Tucker's bad throw of L. Tur ner's grounder; Drake scored on R. Turner's hit and Hiatt flied out to Tucker to end the rally. That was all the scoring for the locals. Wasco was donated another run in the fifth, and two more In the sixth on dropped flies by Hiatt In left to tie the score. They stepped into the lead In the seventh, when Wilson's hit an error by R. Turner, and Weedman's hit gave two more. Bates' two-bagger, a passed ball and a wild pitch gave them another in the eighth, and singles by Meyer and Weedman followed by J. Sod en's two-bagger in the ninth gave them the remaining two. The pitching of both Soden and Drake was the big feature of the game. Soden struck-out 15 Hepp ner batters while Drake whiffed 12 visitors. Soden allowed but five hits while Drake let out 11. The ninth inning was the only occasion when Wasco's hits were bunched for scores, the others being scattered to such an extent that they would have been valueless had it not been for errors. Weedman had the big stick of the day, getting a three bagger, two singles and a walk out of five trips up.
