Senator Takes Common
Sense Viewpoint of
Solving Problems.
CROW SHOOT SLATED
Heppner-Spray Road to Receive
Bureau's Consideration In
Allotment of Funds.
Harry L. Corbett, republican can
didate for governor, spoke before
the Heppner Lions club at Its Mon
day luncheon. Senator Corbett Is
the first gubernatorial aspirant to
appear locally in the present cam
paign. With no attempt at oratory the
"member of a first family" from
Portland left anything but an im
pression of being "high hat" with a
plain statement of problems facing
the state and a common sense view
of their solution. His talk was
marked by a total absence of cam
paign promises.
Tax Reduction Not Promised.
"I do not wish to make the mis
take made by many candidates of
promising a reduction in taxes," the
senator asserted. "The tax bill,
aside from about 28 per cent levied
for state purposes, was voted by
the people for purposes which they
deemed advisable, and the obliga
tions thus incurred must be met. I
do believe, however, that the sarrte
close attention to detail and the
same economy used by you and I
in our private businesses, should be
used in conducting the state's bus
iness." Senator Corbett sees the need of
a saner method of taxing standing
timber in order to conserve this
great resource. Once a resource is
depleted, its taxable value is gone
and' the rest of the state suffers
through having to bear its share of
the tax burden. It does not seem
right to keep on cutting down the
state's timber when the lumber in
dustry is suffering from a glutted
market. All possible should be done
to conserve these resources.
Cooperation Needed.
Closer cooperation of the state
with the work of the state cham
ber of commerce was cited by Sena
tro Corbett as a need. He com
mended the work of the state cham
ber in bringing settlers into the
state. These people should be en
couraged to come and to succeed,
as only through this means can
more taxable wealth be created.
In speaking of the progress of
the state and measures necessary
to bring about this progress, the
senator declared no progress can
be made without paying for It. The
main thing to look to is to see that
a dollar's worth of value Is received
for each dollar expended. At the
present time, he asserted, a program
of sane economy in state govern
ment is in line with business gen
erally and that the state should
now put Itself in shape to be able
to progress when the general trend
of business becomes more favorable.
Declaring agriculture to be the
state's largest asset, the senator de
clared it the state's duty to cooper
ate In every way to lift farming to
a higher plane. One of the biggest
needs in this respect was cited as
state supervision and control of
standards and grades of farm com
modities. Other ways the state can
help agriculture are through the
disseminating of education on bet
ter farming methods, and aiding
marketing conditions.
Senator Corbett's message was at
tentively received by the large
turn-out of Lions.
Crow Control Under Way. '
B. R. Patterson, chairman of the
crow and magpie extermination
committee, reported the time for
the drive would not be ripe for two
weeks. In the meantime sides are
t" be chosen under two captains and
the drive thoroughly organized.
Reports from G. A. Bleakman
and Secretary E. D. Hallock on ob
taining more funds for the Hepp-ncr-Spray
road showed that they
had communicated with the ofllcc
of the bureau of public roads in
Portland and had received word
that the road would be given con
sideration. Miss Helen Cowgill, state 4-H club
leader of Oregon State college, was
a guest at the meeting In company
with Mrs. Lucy E. Rodgers, county
school superintendent.
Miss Aagodt Frigaard pleased
with two vocal selections, accom
panled by Mrs. William R. Poulson
at the piano.

CHAUTAUQUA SET
FOR JUNE 13 TO 16
F. R. Brown Resigns Presidency;
June 5 Date for Reserved
Seat Opening.
Morrow county's free Chautauqua
will be held in Heppner this year
June 13-14-15-16, with a 7-number
program, the dates being announced
at a meeting of the directors of the
Chautauqua association Monday
evening.
Subscriptions will be payable af
ter May 1, the directors decided, and
reserved seats will be obtainable by
those holding official receipts on
and after June 5. The directors
thought it best to early set a defin
ite date for the obtaining of reserv
ed seat tickets so that out-of-town
signers would have an even break
with townspeople in the pickingof
seats.
The resignation of F. R, Brown
as president and director of the
association was tendered and ac
cepted Monday evening, due to the
fact that he will be absent at Chau
tauqua time. Mrs. Lillian Turner
was elected director to fill Mr.
Brown's unexpired term which runs
to the coming chautauqua. A pres
ident will be selected at a meeting
next Monday.
The free chautauqua custom has
been followed successfully in Hepp
ner the last two years. The pro
gram is paid for by popular sub
scription, pledged at the close of
chautauqua the preceding year.
Contributors are given one reserved
seat ticket for each $2.50 paid, the
tent, then being thrown open for
free admittance of the public. Both
years the plan has been followed
the programs were featured by very
large attendance. Last year, and
again this year, it was written into
the contract that the chautauqua
company should provide an extra
large tent, as the tent used the first
year the plan was followed was too
small to care for the crowds.
Leader Speaks Before
4-H Groups of County
Miss Helen Cowgill, assistant
state 4-H club leader, in charge of
home economics clubs for girls, who
plans the work of the clubs, edits
their bulletins, and supervises their

Monday and Tuesday holding
schools for club leaders. She spoke
before leaders and club members at
Eight Mile, Hardnian and lone on
Monday, and at Boardman and Ir
rigon on Tuesday. She discussed
special problems of the clubs and
gave general advice for successful
club work and leadership. The key
note of her talk to the children
was "make your own best, better."
She believes that Morrow county
clubs are doing good work and is
pleased with the way the leaders
are handling the work.
While here she announced a new
project open to girls in sewing clubs
2 and 3. This is a style show, which
is to be held in conenction with the
county 4-H club fair this coming
fall. If ten or more girls enter, a

SCHOOL SINGERS
PRESENT REVUE
Heppner Glee Clubs Will Enter
Forest Grove Competition
Slated for AprU 25-8.
A creditable performance was
staged by the Heppner high school
boys and girls glee clubs when they
presented their "Spring evue," un
der the directorship of Miss Kate
Francis Ede at the high school audi
torium Wednesday evening. The
small audience attending proved
disappointing, and it was believed
that the clubs would be unable to
attend and compete in the Forest
Grove Music tournament, April 25
and 26, because of the small amount
taken in at the door, but since, an
other source of funds has been ob
tained, so the students will be en
trants.
The first part of the program was
devoted to selections to be sung
in the contest The latter part of
the program was given to variety
and was arranged specially for the
entertainment of the local audience.
The opening number on the pro
gram was "America," sung by the
chorus formed by the two glee
clubs. The girls wore white dresses
and ties of purple and gold, the
school colors. The boys were at
tired in blue coats, white trousers,
white shirts and black bow ties.
"Our School," by Hoesche, and
Sleepy Hollow Tune" by Kountz,
sung by the chorus, were next on
the program. The boys' glee club
sang the "Tinker's Song," Robin
Hood. "The Argument" was sung
by the girls' quartet Earl Thomson
sang a solo, "The Northland" by
Clay Smith. The girls' glee club
sang "The Harp of Delight" by
Harris. The boys' quartet enter
tained with "A Song of the Sea" by
Nevin. Miss Donna Brown sang in
solo, "Nymphs and Shepherds" by
Purcell. As the final number of
part one, the chorus sang the "Sol
dier's Chorus" by Faust
Charles Henry, accompanied by
Mrs. Merle Venable at the piano,
played a saxophone solo as the
opening number of part two. "The
Hiring Fair and "Rendex-Vous
followed. High school girls dressed
in Japanese garb sang and danced
to the strains of "Japanese Love
Song." The performance of the
high school boys in the minstrel
number proved plenty of amuse
ment for the audience.
Miss Adele Nickerson. taking the
man's part, and Miss Virginia Cleve
land, the girl's, cleverly staged La
Cachucha, a Spanish specialty
dance. Much of the credit for the
success of this number goes to Mrs.
Adelyn O'Shea and Mrs. Harold
Cohn, instructors of the two girls.
The program was brought to a close
with "Carmena Waltz Song," sung
by the two glee clubs.
Contributing to the success of the
program were Mrs. William R.
Poulson and Miss Jeanette Turner,
accompanists, Mrs. Merle Venable
who accompanied Charles Henry
and sung the choruses of his sax
ophone numbers, and James T.
Lumley, who accompanied several
numbers including the minstrels on
the guitar.
The personnel of the chorus is:
sopranos, Donna Brown, Alva Mc
Duffee, Mary McDuffee, Winifred
Case, Hazel Beamer, Vivian Stout,
Katherine McLaughlin, Lorella
White, Daisy Albee, Jeanette Tur
ner. Altos: Ruth Adkins, Phyllis Jones,

Pacific Growers Largest
Holders of National
Market Shares.
AMOUNT INCREASING
Federal Farm Board Favors Use
Of Existing Wool Markets
In Handling of Clip.
The Pacific Cooperative Wool
growers has subscribed for eighty
shares of stock in the National
Wool Marketing corporation, which
up to the present time is the largest
amount of stock subscribed by any
regional or state unit. Montana is
second with 55 shares and Wyoming
third with 40 shares. The Pacific
at the end of last week had ap
proximately nine million pounds of
wool signed with 3500 members, or
an increase of four million over its
last year's volume. From five to ten
thousand fleeces are now being
signed daily. The past week has
seen many of the largest sheep men
in Klamath and Lake counties and
other eastern Oregon counties sign
ing marketing agreements with this
association.
Among the largest Oregon sheep
men who are members are Fred
Falconer of the Cunningham Sheep
company of Pendleton, and R. N.
Stanfield of the Stanfleld Feeder
company of Baker who have been
made advisory directors of the Pa
cific. Arrangements have been made
with the national selling organiza
tion for grading and processing to
be done at the Pacific's plants at
Portland and San Francisco. A
large portion of the wools will be
stored in the association's ware
houses in these cities because of
lower storage rates and ideal cli
matic conditions for the handling of
the wool. Herbert Bentley, ware
house manager of the Pacific's Port
land warehouse, and John Durham
of the San Francisco warehouse
have been approved as appraisers
by the national corporation and are
in the field appraising wools for the
ninety percent advance that will be
available to growers. Early shorn
wools are now being received at the
Portland warehouse.
Thirty-five percent of the total
clip of Washington will be handled
through the Pacific, and a consider
able volume from the state of Idaho.
The sign-up in California and Nev
ada has been almost trebled since
the first of the year.
In line with recommendations of
the farm board and the National
Wool Marketing corporation which
are that wherever possible growers
use existing organizations rather
than set up new ones, the Montana
Wool Marketing association, the
North and South Dakota associa
tions, and the Pacific Cooperative
Wool growers In Oregon have been
named by the national as the mar
keting associations which have ade
quate facilities for completely serv
ing the growers of their respective
states without the organization of
additional local units.
At the meeting of the directors
of the national corporation on April
8, the farm board advised the direc
tors that it would insist upon the
strengthening of present regional
associations rather than the forma
tion of new ones. It is the idea
that organizations that have had
years of experience, have built up
a substantial volume, and created
a large membership can more effi
ciently serve the growers without
the duplication of expense and ef
fort that would be entailed by the
formation of small, new, inexper
ienced units.
County Grain Growers
Will Elect Directors
A meeting of the Morrow County
Grain growers will be held at 7:30
o'clock Saturday evening in the
Lexington school auditorium for the
purpose of electing six permanent
directors and to adopt the constitu
tion and by-laws.
Articles of incorporation, filed
with the state corporation commis
sioner, have been accepted. A copy
of the constitution and by-laws was
submitted to George O. Gatlin of
Oregon State college, who has sug
gested a few changes for their im
provement. No oltlclal action can be taken at
the meeting unless more than 50
per cent of the stockholders attend
according to R. W. Turner, secre
tary of the temporary board of di
rectors. No proxies are allowed,
and for this reason it is urgent that
all members who can possibly do
so, attend.
The evening hour was selected to
avoid conflict with work in the field
and the place set at Lexington be
cause a greater number of the mem
bers live nearer Lexington than any
other town.

SIGNS BIG 11
CONTROL CROWS,
MAGPIES SOUGHT
Clubs Organize to Exterminate
Foes of Game Birds in All
Parts Morrow County.
A drive is to be started in Morrow
county to kill crows and magpies,
and to destroy their eggs, in order
that the great annual destruction to
game bird life, may be at least ma
terially reduced. The lead in the
campaign has been taken by the
Heppner Lions club and the Hepp
ner Rod and Gun club, although
these two organizations ask the co
operation and help of all persons in
terested In the work.
Control is to be sought in two
ways, by the paying of bounties and
the organization of two teams to
kill the birds and destroy their eggs.
The winning team will be the guest
of the team killing the fewest mag
pies and crows, at a dinner. These
teams will not claim a bounty on
the birds killed by them.
It is hoped that at least $200 can
be raised to provide bounties for
the pest control. Funds will be ask
ed of the state game commission,
Morrow county, and donations are
solicited from public spirited citi
zens who wish to see the work suc
cessfully carried out
Farmers who wish to have birds
and eggs destroyed on their farms
are asked to leave word at Patter
son's drug store, Gilliam & Bisbee,
Latourell Auto Co. or Peoples Hard
ware Co. Any farmer who will not
permit hunting of the magpies and
crows on his premises is also asked
to notify one of these business firms.
It is planned to give a bounty of
5 cents for the head of each magpie
or crow turned in, and 2 cents for
each egg. The bounty will be paid
as long as the funds obtained for
the purpose lasts.
The two teams captained by Chas.
W. Smith and C. L. Sweek will start
in competition Sunday, April 27. The
shoot will continue all of that week,
and on the following Sunday, May
4. A check of the heads turned in
by each team will be made, and that
team turning in the smallest num
ber will be hosts for the dinner,
date of which has not been set Any
one who is willing to participate in
the shoot and wishes to join one of
the teams is asked to sign up for
the contest at one of the mentioned
business houses in Heppner.
The campaign is not for Heppner
alone, but rather a county-wide
movement, so those interested in
other communities of Morrow coun
ty are asked to join in the work
and rid their communities of the
objectionable birds. When eggs are
removed from nests it is urged that
the nest also be destroyed.
