PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1930. HOSS SENDS OUT LICENSE BLANKS 300,000 Application Forms Sent Automobile Owners for New Year Beginning July L Salem, Ore., May 20. Nearly 300, 000 application blanks for motor ve hicle licenses have been mailed from the office of the secretary of state, Hal E. Hoss, in readiness for the approach of the annual regis tration period. For the first time in the automobile history of the state, yearly license fees will be due July 1, the 1929 legislature hav ing changed the registration year from January to July, and set June 30, 1930 as the final date for the use of the six months' windshield stick ers which have served since the first of the year. With the belief that the greatest number of people would find it eas ier to pay for a year's license for their automobiles in the summer than at the first of the year, the leg islative assembly adopted the new fiscal licensing year, establishing 1930 as the time for the change to the new system. Yearly licenses may be purchased for automobiles not registered before in the state on June 15th. Applications may be mailed di rect to the office of the secretary of state at Salem, or may be pre sented to the Portland branch office, 69 Fifth street, or to the offices of county sheriffs in all counties ex cept Marion and Multnomah, where offices of the motor vehicle division of the state department are located. In obtaining plates through the sheriffs, an added fee of 25 cents is required which goes into the county funds as compensation for the ser vice furnished. Temporary permits to be affixed to the windshield will be provided by the sheriffs to serve as receipts until plates are received from the Salem office. With the exception of trucks op erating under the motor transpor tation act, passenger cars and trucks will carry the same kind of plates. Those coming under the transportation provisions will be in dicated with a letter "M" preceding the numerals. Plates for the new season will be black with orange numbers and will be effective until June 30, 1931. S MIMIMIIIIIN HIlUMHt 1 11 hitrospeSl FIVE YEARS AGO. (From Quette Times of Kay SI, 1935.) Lexington was hit by a water spout yesterday afternoon. The downpour was on the hills tributary to Blackhorse canyon, and when the flood waters reached the town they were sufficient to cause much damage, and the net result was the wrecking of a building or two, the flooding of business houses and res idences and leaving deposits of mud and debris No lives lost Maple Circle, Neighbors of Wood craft, was host at the convention of the 10th district, held in Hepp ner Friday and Saturday and at tended by nearly 100 members. Mr. and Mrs. Garnet Barratt are the proud parents of a 10-pound baby boy born May 18. Pictures of the 18 members of the Heppner high school graduating class appeared in this issue. Those graduating were Joe Devine, Dur ward Tash, Iseck Dexter, Cecelia Kenny, Mary Crawford, Virginia Hill, Luola Benge, Vawter Parker, Edmond Hirl, Mary Patterson, Er ma Lovgren, Austin Smith, Myrtle Craddick, Elmer Bucknum, Byron Johnson, Kathleen McDaid, Lena Redding and Harold Becket TEX YEARS AGO. (From Gazette Times of May 20, 1920.) The stage is all set for the pri mary election in Oregon tomorrow. In the nominations for president, the contest appears to be between Wood and Johnson in the repub lican party and the democratic field is conceded to McAdoo, while Gov ernor Lowden has many supporters. Through the efforts of the Mor row county farm bureau committee on irrigation, a number of feasible damsites for local irrigation pro jects have been selected on Willow and Rhea creeks and their tribu taries. Mike Curran and Leonard Barr are getting the new fixtures arrang ed in their billiard and pool hall in the Elks building, and will be open to the public in a short time. Earl Gordon expects to leave for Pendleton Saturday to accept a po sition with the Thompson Drug company. A son weighing seven pounds ar rived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Gibb last week. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. (From Oasette Times of Kay 20, 1915.) The machine house on the Mpun tain Valley farm, one mile below Heppner, was struck by lightning Friday morning, and burned to the ground Most of the contents of the structure were saved by removal. The Umatilla Forest office has been moved to Pendleton. One of the reasons for the change is that Pendleton is closer to the center of the reserve and more convenient to stockmen generally. Savings are expected in the operation of the office there. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Uzz French May 16. Dr. Winnard reports the mother and child get ting along 'well. Mr. and Mrs. N. S. Whetstont made a hectic journey from their Grant county ranch in Fox Valley to Heppner Sunday. Coming down the Monument grade in their Ford, a stump was struck throwing Mrs. Whetstone from the car, badly lac erating her upper lip and bending the front axle of the car and dam aging the cranking apparatus so that it could not be started. A push started the car down the hill. Af ter overtaking an emigrant wagon and hurling a calf tied at the rear of the wagon, from the road, Mon ument at the bottom of the hill was reached in safety. Fine Lambing Season Passed in Washington Spokane, Wash. Washington flockmasters have had one of the most successful lambing seasons in the history of the state, according to the statement of Otto Rothisberg, of Hell Gate, one of the well known sheepmen of Washington, while he was in Spokane. Mr. Rothisberg said that his flocks were increased by 2300 little woolies and that the weather was as fine as summer. The smallest loss in years was had. Sheep are in fine condition and the clip will be thick. His sheep are being run north of Wilbur along the Columbia river. Quitclaim Deeds. Heirs William T.
