HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, Oct 17, 1929.
Subscription $2.00 a Year
Organization is Started;
Meeting This Evening
to Give Impetus.
During the early part of the sum
mer a business men's conference
was held in Heppner, at which time
the benefits of a local credit asso
ciation among the business men
was thoroughly discussed, the result
being that a large number of busi
ness and professional men of the
city were "sold" on the proposition.
At this meeting O. F. Tate of Port
land, secretary of the Oregon Retail
. Merchants association, was one of
the principal speakers, and when
the conference was over, he agreed
to return to Heppner at any time
the business interests here wished
him to, and take up with them the
matter of organizing a bureau for
this city. It had been the intention
to have Mr. Tate return here during
the month of August, and some
thought he would do so, but he did
not come as he had not received
a request. However, upon being
asked by representative business
men of the city to come here during
this month, Mr. Tate arrived from
Pendleton on Monday forenoon, and
arrangements were at once made to
get the business interests together
to discuss the organization.
The meeting was held at Legion
hall at 2 p. m. Monday, with Mr.
Tate acting as temporary chairman
and taking sufficient time to go all
over the proposition again and to
answer any and all questions that
might arise concerning the charac
ter and workings of a credit asso
ciation. Vawter Crawford was ask
ed to act as temporary secretary,
and some 17 businesses and profes
sions were found present and ex
pressed their desire to go ahead
with the formation of the bureau.
It being the desire to take in just
as far as possible all of the merch
ants and professional men of the
county, a motion was made and car
ried that the bureau be incorpora
ted under the name of the Morrow
County Credit association. The el
ection of olflcers was then taken up,
the following being chosen by bal
lot: D. T. Goodman, president; D. A.
Wilson, vice president; E. O. Fer
guson, M. L. Case, P. M. Gemmell,
Dr. A. D. McMurdo and Walter
Moore, directors. Mr. Goodman then
took charge of the meeting and
upon motion duly carried, appoint
ed the following committees: dues
and assessments, F. R. Brown, E. O.
Ferguson and Dr. A. D. McMurdo;
membership, P. M. Gemmell, John
Hiatt and R. E. Pratt; constitution
and by-laws, D. A. Wilson, J. D.
Cash and C. L. Sweek.
As it was found necessary to at
tend to some preliminary work be
fore the organization could be com
pleted, an adjournment was then
taken until 8 o'clock, this, Thursday
evening, when some committee re
ports will be heard and the further
business of completing the organi
zation will be taken up.
It is hoped that a secretary can
be arranged for, an office establish
ed and the bureau be In full work
ing order by the first of the year,
but there will be no unnecessary
hurry along this line, the desire be
ing to get the organization on a
thorough working basis before
starting operations.
From his long experience In this
work, Mr. Tate could assure the
business men of Heppner, and those
of the entire county as well, that
they will have no regrets to offer
when the bureau Is once function
ing, and he hoped that there would
be just as near 100 per cent of the
business and professional men of
the community on the membership
list as it was possible to secure.

Condon Taken 8-0 In
Hard Fought Game
Heppner high school won their
second game of the Upper Colum
bia Athletic league season from
Condon at Rodeo field Friday af
ternoon, 8-0. The locals took the
lead in the second quarter when a
blocked kick was recovered behind
the goal line for a safety, netting
two points. A touchdown by Hake
in the third quarter, on a play In
which he took the ball around end
for 20 yards after It had been car
ried down the field in a succession
of line plunges and end runs, net
ted the other six points. Try for
extra point was made on a line
play, but was not allowed because
Heppner was off-side.
Heppner came into her own after
stemming a Condon march from
kick-off that seemed sure of scor
ing. Condon took the ball in a suc
cession of first downs to within a
few yards of the goal. But here
the Heppner line stiffened to recov
er the ball on downs and Gentry
made a beautiful kick out of dan
ger. Offensive power was shown by
both teams, and large gains were
made by each. A number of pen
alties for holding early In the game
were responsible for keeping down
the scoring, Heppner and Condon
both being set back at crucial times.
The game was clean though hard
fought and many of the large num
ber of Condon fans In attendance

with the sportsmanship shown, and
satisfied that the best team won.

Representative Butler
Visits Heppner Today
R. R. Butler, representative in
Congress, is in Heppner today greet
ing his constituency and feeling the
pulse of this part of his district.
Mr. Butler who was elected last
November to fill the unexpired term
of the late Nihcolas J. Sinnott finds
it real work to cover his district,
comprising 60,000 square miles, the
largest congressional Mstriot In the
United States. His home is In The
Dalles.
Eastern Oregon's representative
finds that his district aside from be
ing the largest in the nation has as
many, if not more, problems than
any other. Outstanding are prob
ably the reclamation problems, the
proper solution of which means
much to the growth of the section.
In making the rounds, Mr. Butler
was especially impressed with the
Burns development. He believes
this development to be sound, as the
lumber interests responsible rank
among the largest in the country
and cutting is assured for many
years. Burns is putting on real airs,
he says, having paved their streets,
and acquired modern buildings,
among the latter being one of the
most pretentious hotels to be found
in any small city.

R. E. Harbison complains bitterly
because he is compelled to shoot,
on an average, a cat a day for every
day in the year. This is on account
of people permitting themselves to
become overstocked with kittens
and cats and then dumping them
at the warehouse on the supposition
that they will go inside, catch mice
and live happily ever after, but the
truth is a cat that has once lived on
hi-yu-muck-a-muck from the kitch
en seldom learns new tricks. For
this reason these cats end up at Mr.
Harbison's kitchen door and hence,
of a necessity, the crack of his .22
spells the crack of doom for the
cats.

IH W PRICES
More Cattle to Markets
Early Depressive; Egg
Shipments Drop.
A rather quiet livestock and wool
market generally, with hay prices
high, is reported in the weekly mar
ket review just released by the agri
cultural economics department of
the Oregon State college extension
service. Egg prices have increased
to the point where supplies are
moving from storage.
Poor pastures and Increased feed
prices in many sections of the coun
try have caused many stockmen to
hurry cattle to market earlier than
normally which has depressed pri
ces for lower grades. No serious
rush is expected, however. Hog
producers also started heavy mar
keting in late summer, though the
general market outlook remains
favorable after some forced ship
ments of light hogs are over.
The United States wool clip is
now 1 per cent greater than in 1928
although 4 per cent more sheep
were shorn. Market is unsteady be
cause of foreign conditions.
Average farm price for alfalfa
hay in Oregon is $2.60 a ton higher
than a year ago as compared with
a general level throughout the coun
try of 50c higher than last year,
Poor fall pasture has stimulated the
demand for hay at the same time
total supplies for the country are
some seven million tons lower than
a year ago.
Case eggs In storage are consider
ably below the figure of a year ago
and total carlot shipments from
west to east are reduced.

LEX DEFEATS ARLINGTON.
Lexington and Arlington town
football teams met on the Lexing
ton gridiron Sunday afternoon In a
fast exhibition of the pigskin game.
Both teams showed power on of
fense, but only once was the ball
taken over the goal line for a score.
This was by Lexington in the third
quarter when Buster Neel, Heppner
youth, nabbed an opponents pass
and carried it some 30 yards to
within a few feet of the goal line
from where it was bucked across.
The extra point was made by a
nicely placed place-kick and the
game ended with the score 7-0.
Zeller for the Columbia river boys
was their outstanding yardage gain
er, making many large gains but on
every occasion when the ball was
taken Into dangerous Lexington ter
ritory the Lex line proved impreg
nable and the ball was lost either
on downs or fumble. Vester Lane,
Lex end, was a power on defense
as well as being on the receiving
end of a number of passes which
netted good yardage.
CITY WATER SAID PURE,
Many samples of Heppner's water
supply have been sent to the state
board of health by Superintendent
Pruyn since August, and the reports
received by him have been to the
effect that the water tests A-l, Indi
cating that it is pure and contains
no bacteria of a nature injurious
to health. Early in the season there
was one adverse report on the wa
ter, and this caused many to think
that it was not safe to use the wa
ter, but to date there has been no
ill effects and no sickness of any
sort has resulted from the use of
water from the city mains.

Hallowe'en Miscreants
Hit By Proclamation
To the end that Heppner may
have a safe and sane Hallowe'en,
and not awaken on the morning of
November first to find outbuildings
upturned, wood strewn hither and
yon, and the results of a thousand
one other pranks of a wanton na
ture which result in much grief and
often property loss to freeholders;
and especially that life of motorists
may not be endangered, Mayor Mc
Carty has issued the following proc
lamation:
"Whereas, there is danger of prop
erty damage and Injury to life by
many of the reckless pranks of Hal
lowe'en prowlers that have been
customary in past years; especially
the obstruction of streets which
might result In wrecking automo
biles, and possible loss of life; and
believing that such pranks are in
direct violation of the law, and not
in accord with the spirit of the oc
casion; "Therefore, I, W. G. McCarty,
mayor of the city of Heppner, do
hereby urge the young people of the
city to conduct themselves in a
proper manner, while enjoying the
festivities of the day, and. to give
consideration to the life, property
and rights of others. I further here
by give each and every property
holder within the city the power to
arrest any trespassers of a suspic
ious nature, and to turn them over
to the regularly constituted author
ities. "Signed,
"W. G. McCARTY. Mayor."

STAR EQUIPS FOR
TALKING PICTURES
Improvement Gives Hepp
ner Latest in Show
Houses.
In line with his policy of keeping
his theater up to date in every re
spect, B G. Sigsbee, manager of the
Star theater, is this week having In
stalled the Resco Reproducing sys
tem, one of the popular devices for
producing talking motion pictures.
Announcement has not been made
as to when the first talkie will be
exhibited with the new equipment,
though Mr. Sigsbee promises that
it may be looked for In the near
future.
The new equipment of the Star
theater, used in connection with its
two late model Powers projecting
machines, places Heppner's movie
house among the leading small
theaters of the country. Talking
pictures are still quite in their In
fancy, the general acceptance of
them, even in the large cities being
hardly more than a year old. With.
a preponderance of devices for their
production flooding the market, all
of more or less merit and all quite
expensive, it has been a problem for
the smaller theater manager to
know just what to do. Mr. Sigsbee,
while recognizing the merit of talk
ies, decided to wait until the trend
became more stabilized and to pick
a machine which he could be cer
tain would meet the needs of his
theater. He believes he has now
obtained it and that the Heppner
public may enjoy as good talkies at
home as anywhere.
The Resco system, using records
for sound effects, is so constructed
as to provide complete synchroniza
tion between sound and picture.
Exceptional tone effects are made
possible by the use of dynamic
speakers which will carry all sounds
evenly and true throughout the
theater.
Mr. Sigsbee recently had the the
ater redecorated in the latest type
of interior decoration. Ceiling and
walls were done In tan with mot
tled gold and silver effects, flower
designs being used for trimming.
Indirect lighting, when pictures are
being shown, makes the theater
lighter and airier, giving it a more
inviting appearance. Mr. Sigsbee
has given careful thought to the
elimination of eye strain and every
convenience of patrons, and through
the improvements has provided
Heppner with an up-to-date movie
house In every respect
