On Merchandising at
Institute Here.
Under the auspices of the Oregon
Retail Merchants' association and
the Oregon State college a two day
session of merchants' institute will
be held at Heppner July 29-30. The
meetings will be in charge of O. F.
Tate, executive secretary of the
merchants' association; H. T. Vance,
head of course In merchandising,
Oregon State school of commerce,
and E. E. Bosworth, head of course
in accounting and auditing from
the state college together with a
local committee.
These merchants' meetings are
the result of a request from busi
ness men over the state for infor
mation regarding the latest meth
ods and changes In the great field
of merchandising. Seven such meet
ings were held last year and for
this year 18 will be held. More than
fifty business people of Heppner,
lone and Lexington have signed up
to attend the course to be held here,
denoting a large interest.
Among the subjects to be discuss
ed are advertising, retail selling,
buying, window trimming, store
lighting, office appliances, credits
and collections, turnover of ac
counts receivable, the sales dollar,
cost of doing business, Income tax
returns, retail budgeting, Oregon
business, modern business and Ore
gon Retail Merchants' association.
Evening lectures and group confer
ences on various of these subjects
have been arranged, and special in
dividual conferences may be ar
ranged with any of the speakers
who will be glad to render every
service possible to the individual
merchant while they are in the city.
Every merchant in town should
make It a point to be there and
bring salespeople whenever possi
ble. A general invitation is also
issued to every business man in the
county, with co-workers, to attend.
Full announcement of the place and
time of meetings and program will
be given next week.
The favorable impression made in
the towns where the institutes were
held last year is indicated by the
following comments:
"The quality of the meetings far
exceeded our anticipation. We hope
this Is only the beginning of the
good work, which I am sure was
greatly appreciated by all who at
tended the meetings." John C.
Mann, president of Medford Cham
ber of Commerce.
"A record crowd of business men
and women turned out to hear Pro
fessor H. T. Vance talk on adver
tising. This proved to be one of the
best attended and most enjoyable
meetings in the history of the mer
chants association." Medford Mail
Tribune. "According to Baker business
men, the value of the institute is
beyond estimate." Editorial in the
Oregon Journal.
"Those of you who did not attend
the meetings of the business insti
tute In Baker on the 19th and 20th
of March, and especially the lec
ture and discussion on 'Credits and
Collections' by Professor E. E. Bos
worth, certainly missed a very great
treat, and more Important, an op
portunity to learn how this depart
ment of your business can be made
much more profitable and losses can
be cut to a minimum." Semi
monthly bulletin, Baker County
Rating bureau.
A trophy is offered the city hav
ing the largest attendance In pro
portion to its population, and the
desire is expressed by the commit
tee from the Heppner Business
Men's Luncheon club handling the
local end of the Institute, that Hepp
ner make a strong bid for It

MOST OLD WHEAT SOLD.
During the week the wheat mar
ket on the Heppner branch has
been quite active, and it is now un
derstood that the most of last year's
crop in the elevators and ware
houses has been sold. When the
market reached the dollar per bu
shel, many let go, while others got
a little better than this, and since
the-prlce is now going around $1.15
some are lamenting that they let
go so soon. However, the clean-up
is making room for the new crop
which will soon be reaching the
railroad. A lot of contracting has
been done, ranging from 95 cents
to better than $1.05, but farmers
are slowing up on this manner of
dealing as the price advances.
Wheat buyers have been quite busy
talking contracts and we have no
data so far as to just what per
centage of the present season's crop
has been disposed of in this manner.
COUNTY GETS LAND.

the Morrow county court house,

peared, and the county was compell

doubt much of this property will be
gradually disposed of as time goes
on, but just now the county is hold
ing quite a parcel or real estate.

The Boon of Sleep.

Wonderful Lands.
Eight "Big Men."
If you have sound sleep, don't
envy any man his millions.
An American, very rich, knighted
by King George because of the Am
erican money he spent in London,
was taken to a hospital, suffering
from insomnia.
In the morning he was found
dead, clutching a piece of paper on
which he had written that, as sleep
was impossible, he could endure life
no longer. He had poisoned himself.
A majority of us go through life,
not appreciating our greatest bless
ings, especially the
"Sleep that knits up the ravell'd
gleave of care.
The death of each day's life, sore
labour's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's
second course,
Chief nourlsher in life's feast"
Until sleep goes, you do not know
life's greatest physical misfortune.
Every year two thousand million
American eggs are confided to hens
and incubators. Every year 800,-
000,000 of them don't hatch.
Much lost possible wealth, at
least $200,000,000, at 25 cents per
chick.
The Department of Agriculture
owns one hen, laying eggs of which
90 per cent hatch, and she transmits
her qualities to daughters and
granddaughters.
This interests millions of women
in the United States.
The government has thrown open
to settlement government lands for

River. Wonderful lands these are,
low, level, deep, heavy black loam.
As the "wind bloweth where it
listeth," so the Mississippi flows
where It listeth, coveiing and un
covering land, washing millions of
cubic yards of fertile soil into the
Gulf of Mexico.
When will man's Intelligence con
trol "Old Man River" and make him
an obedient part of the national ma

President Hoover, whose business
is engineering, will attend to that
was cut out for that job.
The President seeks eight "big
men" to put on the Farm Board.
The big eight and the Secretary
of the Treasury will administer
funds for farm relief, spending the
people's money as intelligently as
they know how.
How can you tell "a big man"
when you see him, and how can you
be sure that your big man under
stands farm problems?
It would be interesting to put the
eight big men, after they are chos
en, in charge of some typical Amer
ican farm to see what they could
make of it.
The President signs the Boulder
Dam proclamation, thus making
operative the Boulder Canyon Dam
bill.
And now, perhaps, the the able
engineer elected President, will be
able to do what he wants to do,
some able engineering.

PhelpB and Stanley Minor homes
were scenes of two lively battles on
Tuesday evening. At the former the
contestants were A. M. Phelps and
V. Crawford opposed to W. O. Dix
and E. R. Huston, and it required
nearly 3 1-2 hours for the members
of the "kindergarten class" to knock
out the "professionals." Phelps and
Crawford battled to the point of ut

it over" on their opponents in the

having fully qualified for this sta

feels that he has taken quite a
fall from the pedestal of champion
and will be glad to have a place in
the primary department. However,
future games may tell altogether a
different story.

David Miller Ends Life
By Shooting with Rifle
Funeral services under the direc
tion of M. L. Case, undertaker, were
held on Saturday afternoon at
Hardman for David Miller, 57, who
took his life by shooting at the
home of John Hottman In Hepp
ner on Thursday afternoon at 3:30.
Burial was in I. O. O. F. cemetery
at Hardman.
Mr. Miller had evidently become
despondent over the state of his
health and his personal affairs, and
decided to end it all, and used for
his taking-off a 25-30 rifle that he
had but recently brought to the
house, and which his wife who was
in the house with him at the time
of the tragedy, did not know he
possessed. It seems that Mr. Miller
had been much affected of late in
regard to his health, and he had a
few days before asked Sheriff Bau
man that he be taken to Pendleton
and placed in the state hospital for
treatment The sheriff stated to him
that he would have to have an ex
amination before a physician, and
he called at the office of Dr. Mc
Murdo where Dr. Fagan, who was
in charge, failed to find anything
to indicate that he was failing men
tally. The statement of Mrs. Miller to
officials and friends was to the ef
fect that she and her husband were
alone in the house. They had been
talking about his condition, when
he suddenly arose and bid her an
affectionate good-by and went into
the bed room, curtained off from
the room where they were sitting.
Being a little suspicious, she fol
lowed and saw that he had a gun
in his hand. Mrs. Miller wrestled
with him and succeeded In getting
the gun, and started for the outside
to call for help. He overtook her
on reaching the door and took the
gun from her, immediately, placing
the muzzle to his temple and firing.
Mrs. Miller ran from the house and
up Main street to summon help and
when Coroner Case and City Police
man Matteson arrived the man was
still alive. Dr. Fagan was called
from the hospital across the street,
but found that the shot was fatal,
the ball having passed entirely
through the head and lodging in
one of the walls of the room. He
died without regaining conscious
ness. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were making
their home in the Briggs house with
John Hottman, and had been liv
ing in Heppner for some time, com
ing here from Hardman. He is sur
vived by his widow and two broth
ers and two sisters. These are Jim
and Francis Miller of . Hardman,
Mrs. Walter Bennett of Burns and
Mrs. Ira LaForge of Hardman.
Mrs. Miller, who at different times
had been confined at the state hos
pital at Pendleton while being treat
ed, was overcome by the tragic
death of her husband, and has been
returned to that institution for
medical care.
Chris Brown Brings First
New Wheat to Heppner
Chris Brown, lower Blackhorse
farmer, was the first to bring wheat
of the 1929 harvest to Heppner, de
livering the first truckload of the
new crop the last of the week. His
wheat is being delivered at the
Heppner Farmers' Elevator com
pany, and the report is that the
yield is around 25 bushels to the
acre.
The elevator company shipped
out the first carload of new wheat
Tuesday evening. Chas. Swindig,
manager, reports that the old wheat
has practically all been cleaned up,
and that the company as agent has
contracted some 200,000 bushels of
new wheat He reports that the
price took a jump of five cents yes
terday, making the Heppner quota
tion $1.20, a new high mark for the
season, caused, believes Mr. Swin
dig, by unfavorable crop reports
from Canada.
OFF FOR CONVENTION.
Chief of Police Devin, accompan
ied by District Attorney Notson and
Judge Benge, departed early on Tu
esday morning in the chiefs car,
their destination being Missoula,
Mont Sheriff Bauman also left on

point, and these officials go to at
tend the convention of law enforce
ment officers of the Northwestern
states and Canadian provinces, at
the Anti-Crime Conference held on

28 CROP CLEANED UP.
F. R. Brown, manager of Brown
Warehouse company, reports all
grain of the 1928 crop sold and near
ly all shipped. He is expecting grain
of the new crop to start coming in
in a few days. To date Mr. Brown
has contracted some 100,000 bushels
of the new crop for the grain buy
ers he represents. He was unsuc
cessful In making up a pool of 25,
000 sacks at $1 25 yesterday, It ap
pearing that with the market on the
upward trend there is less tendency
of farmers to sell.
Bruce Spauldlng, a law student
at Willnmette university, Salem, re
