teette HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, Sept. 19, 1929 Subscription $2.00 a Year Volume 46, Number 27 President of Woolgrowers Presents Views on Con sent Decree. RESULT UNCERTAIN Advantages of Wheat Farmer on Canadian Border Noted; Fine Trip Enjoyed. As a representative of Oregon Woolgrowers Association, W. P. Ma honey, president, was called to Washington, D. C, and left Heppner on September first for that city where he appeared before the com mittee of the agricultural depart ment Investigating the question of modilication of the Packers' Con sent Decree. At the last convention of the Ore gon association the following reso lution, bearing upon this subject was passe J: "Whereas, what Is generally known as 'The Packers Consent De cree' prohibits Wilson & Company, Armour & Company, Swift & Com pany and the Cudahy Packing Com pany from owning or operating any retail meat markets; from distribu ting or dealing in vegetables, fruits, cereals and other foods; from using, or permitting others to use their distributing equipment and facil ties for distributing such food prod ucts or from engaging in other use ful activities related to their busi ness. "Now, therefore, be it resolved that a committee be appointed to confer with representatives of the above companies and to urge the Attorney General and the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States to consent to a modification of the 'Consent Decree' which will permit the packers affected by It to negage in these prohibited businesses on a basis of equality with their com petitors and as other citizens have the right to do, and that said com mittee be authorized to take such other and further action as they may consider necessary or advisable In the circumstances." The hearings attended by Presi dent Mahoney, who returned last night from Washington, were made at the request of the attorney gen eral and were conducted by the de partment of the interior. The above resolution has grown out of the fact that the Oregon sheepmen have been more and more entering the field of mutton production, and they now produce mutton lambs in far greater numbers than ever before. The Packers Consent Decree has appealed to the sheepralser as re stricting his market. In this opin ion Oregon producers are joined by those of California and Utah, and others of the mutton producing sec tions. A modification of the decree, in accordance with the prayer of the woolgrowers association will be the means of increasing the market for mutton stuff, and thus enhance the value of the sheep industry. In the decree four meat packers are concerned. Under It the pack ers were enjoined from owning any Interest in any public stockyard market, stockyard terminal rail road, or stockyard market newspa per; from using or permitting tneir facilities to be used in nananng or dealing in commodities not relating to the packing bulness; from manu facturing, jobbing, selling, trans porting (except as common car riers), distributing or otherwise dealing in fish, vegetables, fruits, confectionery, Byrups, soda fountain supplies, molasses, honey, Jams, spices, condiments, coffee, tea, choc olate, nuts, flour, sugar and rice, bread, wafers, cereals, grain, grape juice, and certain specified farm hardware and building supplies; from conducting any retail meat market; from owning any Interest in any public store or cold storage warehouse; and from distributing or otherwise dealing in fresh milk and milk. The petition of the packers, which has been set for hearing October 2 In the supreme court of the District of Columbia, prays for modification of the decree so as to permit them to own and operate retail meat mar kets; to own an Interest In any pub lic stockyard market company or stockyard terminal railroad; to manufacture, distribute or other wise deal In any commodities Inclu ded In the decree; to own In whole or In part the capital stock of the corporation engaged In manuiac- turlng, distributing such commodi ties; to use or to permit others to use their distributive system and facilities for the handling of such commodities; to lease or sell any of the Items of their distributive sys tem; to own interests in public cold storage warehouses and en gage in the fresh milk and cream business. In order to obtain the views of agricultural groups regarding the probable economic effect on the ag ricultural and livestock Interests of the country of the proposed modifi cation of the consent decree, the secretary of agriculture invited the various agricultural groups to pre sent their views on the subject. This was done, but just what the final outcome will be, Mr. Mahoney,. of course, cannot say. Mr. Mahoney enjoyed his visit to the capital city though It was ex tremely warm there. Going he found that much of the Middle Wes tern wheat and corn (section had Heavy Smoke Clouds Drifted Over County An omen of the devastation of vast forest reaches in western Ore gon and Washington, a dense smoke pall settled rapidly over this part of eastern Oregon Tuesday afternoon the heaviest clouds to envelop this section In years, old timers say. In less than an hour day was turned to yellowish twilight and the sun was completely shut from view. Evidently carried in by a high wind, the Bmoke settled with such rapidity as to bade the close prox imity of a new fire and caused con siderable alarm at Heppner. Out side reports, however, indicated that the smoke was being drifted from the Immense fires raging in the forest areas bordering the low er Columbia. Reports yesterday morning show ed the flames to be out of all con trol, with the towns of Estacada, Ore., and Stevenson, Wash., in ex treme jeopardy. It was expected that a switching in the wind might carry the fire into Stevenson almost on a moment's notice, and many people of that district were crossing the Bridge of the Gods Into Oregon. Large property losses have already been suffered by the wiping out of several mills and equipment in that vicinity, besides untold loss in tim ber burned. With the main hope for relief lying In a heavy rain, skies remain cloudless today, fulfilling the Port land weather forecast of fair and warmer. Smoke has been lightening here since Tuesday night. High School Playing i Practice Game Today Coach Poulson and his pigskin proteges of Heppner High school are at Pilot Rock this afternoon for a pre-season scrimmage game with the high school of that place. Mr. Poulson attended a meeting of directors of Upper-Columbia Athlet ic league at Arlington Saturday when schedules were drawn up for the three major sports, football, basketball and baseball. Heppner's football schedule follows: Oct 5, Hermiston at Hermiston. Oct. 11, Condon at Heppner. Oct. 18, Fossil at Fossil. Oct. 25, Lexington at Heppner. Nov. 1, Arlington at Arlington. Nov. 11, Hermiston at Heppner. Some date after November 11, not yet decided, lone will play here. Though the team has been work ing out since the opening of school, the coach declares it is yet too early to make any predictions. He is re lying on the game today to show up any weak spots that may need spe cial attention before the opening of the league season. CO-OP COUNCIL TO MEET. The Oregon Cooperative council consisting of the leading farmers' marketing organizations of the state has been called into special session In Portland Monday, Sep tember 23. The call from President J. O. Holt, Eugene, has been Issued by George O. Gatlln, secretary, and extension marketing specialist at the state college. The meeting is to be devoted largely to discussion of the activities and policies of the Federal Farm board. The Oregon council now "represents 13.000 mem bers of organizations doing an an nual business in excess of $15,000,- 000. PRUNES BREAK INTO MOVIES. The erstwhile lowly prune, which is decidedly up In the world this year, Is now to star as a mavis factor. The department of agricul ture is sending cameramen and di rector from Washington, D. C, to make a two-reel educational film showing all about the Oregon prune from tree to table. The scenario, has been prepared by George O. Gatlln. marketing specialist of O. S. C, and William Schoenfeld of the federal economic service in .Port land. So far as known It will not be a talkie, however. suffered from drought and the crops were greatly shortened as a result In southern Nebraska and in Kan sas, however, good wheat crops pre vailed, but to the north this was not the case. The corn crop In 111 lnois Is good. After spending a few days in Washington attending to the business for which he had been called to the city, Mr. Malioney re turned bv the Northern facinc, through Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas and over ground that is quite familiar, his home for long years having been in tne uaKotas Some stopovers were made on the wav. Mr. Mahoney could not help but note a circumstance coming to his attention and illustrative of the ad vantage the wheat farmer enjoys who happens to reside along the Canadian border. Canada has a duty of 11 cents a bushel on wheat, but in spite of this, these farmers are marketing their grain across the border at a profit of 15 cents a bushel. The tariff on wheat fixed by the U. S. law is 41 cents per bushel. From all indications, there is no surpluB of wheat this year; there Is a pronounced shortage In Canada, and our own wheat produc ing sections are coming up short At Washington and other points Mr. Mahoney greatly nejoyed taking in the sights, and had tne weather been Just a llttlo more pleasant there would have been nothing to complain of on the entire Journey. He found little change, cast and west in climatic conditions, and It Is extremely dry everywhere. ITEMS SHOW WEEK OF ACTIVITY Civic Social Club Formed in School; Nolan Page Leaves for East.

BETTER EXHIBITS TO Wool and Grain Show Will be Best Yet, Is Word. "The show will be larger and better this year than ever before," assures Chas. W. Smith, county agent, in charge of the annual Mor row County Wool and Grain show, to be held the last two days of the Rodeo. The show will be on display in the Garrigues building at Rodeo headquarters. J. Foster Martin, agronomist from the Moro Experiment station, will Judge the wheat exhibits, and H. A. Lindgren, animal husbandry field man from the Oregon State college, will judge the wool. Owing to a conflicting date, however, Mr. Lindgren will be unable to Judge the wool exhibits until Saturday after noon. Mr. Smith has been busily en gaged for several days getting the wheat samples ready for showing, and besides preparing the exhibit for the local show is also getting ready an exhibit to go to the state fair at Salem next week. The dis play shown here will also be sent to the Pacific International Live stock exposition at Portland in Oc tober. A fine interest has grown up in the wool and grain show, Mr. Smith declares, and Morrow county farm ers have cooperated wonderfully this year in the preparation of the most representative exhibits ever shown. Prizes have also been In creased, which though small, help to repay fortunate exhibitors for their trouble. The big value of the show lies In the opportunity It gives farmers to compare results with his neighbors, and to stimulate interest in better varieties, Mr. Smith says. At the same time It gives those not ac quainted with the intricacies of the wheat and wool businesses some in sight into the fine points, and all told stimulates a greater Interest To help in this regard, Mr. Smith has prepared a great many charts, showing yields of various varieties and a multitude of technical points, which will also be on display. Rodeo visitors are invited to not overlook this feature while in the city. GEORGE THOMSON BURIED. Many friends gathered at the home of the late George Thomson on Friday evening to be with the bereaved family and relatives dur ing the services held for one they had known and respected as a friend and neighbor for so many long years. The services, conducted by Rev. B. Stanley Moore of the Episcopal church, were short but impressive, and the floral offerings were many and very beautiful, ex pressive of the smypathy and deep respect in which the deceased was neld. commitment was at .masonic cemetery, Mr. Moore saying the last rites. Mr. Thomson was a sufferer for the past four years, much of the time a very sick man, but uncom plaining. Even his closest friends were not fully aware of the extreme pain that ho experienced much of of this time. On going to the coast at Astoria early in the year, the high, blood pressure was very much relieved and Mr. Thomson had so fully recovered his health as to con template returning to Heppner by the first of September and resuming his place in the store with his broth ers. Some two weeks previous to his passing he was stricken with a severe heart attack from which he did not recover. It is said of him that while he was confined in the hospital at Astoria he was patient and won the praise of both nurses and fellow sufferers by his kindly consideration. His fatal Illness was no doubt the outgrowth of the sev eral strokes he had suffered, these having the effect of weakening his heart Mr. Thomson was born at Ar thur, Ontario, 49 years ago this last June. He had been a resident of Heppner for more than 20 years, during all of which time he engaged in the mercantile business here with his brothers, James G. and Charles Thomson. He was a good citizen and a man highly respected In the community, and many are the ex pressions of regret because of his early passing. Mrs. George Thomson and fam ily are anxious to inform the public that the error made, made in last week's paper, concerning the fun eral of Mr. Thomson being private, was a mistake not made by any relative of the family. Such a fun cral was the farthest from their thoughts. They had hoped that all who might care to share with them, that last service to a loved one, might do so. They wish to express, also, their appreciation for sym pathy and kindness extended at that time. Harold Case and wife were visit ors here on Tuesday from their home at Fossil, where Mr. Case Is In the undertaking business. ROOMS WANTED!
