PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THUR SDAY, JUNE 5, 1930. BOARDMAN MRS. A. T. HEREIM, Correspondent Miss Erma Broyles left Tuesday for an unlimited stay at Rock Springs, Wyo. She stopped at La Grande for a short visit with her sister Ethel. Mrs. Lottie Attebury was pleased to have her daughter, Mrs. A. C. Nottingham and family of Port land with her for the week end. They came up on Memorial day and remained over Sunday. The Home Economics club met Wednesday with Mrs. Chas. Wick lander. A splendid luncheon was partaken of and later a social hour was enjoyed followed by a business meeting. The matter of the ap proaching North Morrow County fair was discussed at length and other business transacted. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Broyles motored to Heppner Friday to attend the funeral services of Mrs. Wilson's niece, Rosetta May Deos of Willow creek. Mr. and Mrs. Bruno Kroon of La Grande were overnight guests at the Lee Mead home Thursday. On Friday they went on to The Dalles to visit other relatives. Helen Mead accompanied them. On Tuesday, June 10, a children's clinic will be held at the school at 9 a. m. This will be for children from six months to two years of age and for all those children who enter school this fall, and for children of any other age whose parents wish an examination. This clinic will be free of charge and it is hoped that parents will bring their children for examination. The children will be weighed, measured, teeth, throats examined, etc. If necessary Miss Stallard will return at intervals of two weeks during the summer to give further assistance to mothers. The health work in the county is a very fine thing and parents should give Miss Stallard cooperation in every way possible. The time again draws near for the election of school director. Chas. Dillon is the retiring director. There are no burning issues this year, so not a great deal of interest has been shown. It is likely that Mr. Dillon will be reelected without much opposition. He understands the stringent financial condition of the district and the various prob lems which the directors must meet. Paul Smith, Leslie Packard, F. A Fortier and Jack Gorham are oth ers who have been mentioned as possible candidates for the thank less position. Mrs. Lee .mead will have no opposition as clerk, having filled that place very capably the last two years. This section was visited by a fine rain on Memorial day, which was not much appreciated by the farm ers who had their hay down. The usual wind followed on Saturday. Memorial day was not observed here except by those who had loved ones sleeping in "The City of the Dead." Practically every grave was decorated. The cemetery looks far different now than it did eight years ago when Arvie Hango was buried there. It was then a desert waste but at present it has trees planted, it is fenced, some of the lots have grass planted and growing, and a windmill provides water. The Ol sons and Roots have worked un ceasingly there to improve the ap pearance of the place and it has been a constant struggle against many odds. Last summer the wa ter in the small reservoir became too warm and burned the vegeta tion; the hot winds in the summer force them to make many trips to the cemetery to irrigate that their labor may not be all in vain. Then, too, there is the constant handicap of insufficient funds. Those buried in the cemetery are Arvie, Wayne and Teddy Hango, Ezra Hopkins, Mr. Kelly, Charles Attebury, Clif ford Olson, Mrs. Lulu Wicklander, Mrs. Clarence Berger, Mrs. W. A. Price, Pearl Nickerson, Richard Root, Jessie Bennet, Mrs. Nettie Hill, Mrs. Emma Sherman, W. A. Goodwin, Mrs. Alice Dingmon, Ruby Wilson, the tiny Cooney baby and a wee babe born to Mr. and Mrs. George Gross. The Farleys and Mike Healeys drove to Heppner for Memorial day.

Dillon had a wheel on his truck break down Monday near Ir- rigon while bringing down a load of feed from Hermiston. This ne cessitated a phone call to Portland for repairs and a wait of a few days before the wheel came. Gladys Wilson who attends nor mal school at La Grande, had her tonsils removed this week and Is getting along nicely. Blanche and Ona Imus were week end guests at the O. B. Olson home, Blanche, who Is teaching near Ken- newick, came down for Memorial day, bringing flowers for the grave of her betrothed, the late Clifford Olson, who was killed two years ago this June. She left Sunday to com- plete her school work. Ona will remain here for the summer and will assist at the Gorham home Paul and Harold Hatch were up Friday from Portland and were guests at the Hango home. A coun cil meeting was held that night con cerning the proposed contract with the city for taking over the city light plant but negotiations were not completed. Paul wishes to take over the plant and desires to ex tend a power line out over the pro ject A progressive party that was greatly enjoyed was that starting at the home of Norma Gibbons on Saturday evening where "Bug" was played for a time, thence to the Johnson home where it was contin ued and finally to the Kennedy home where a delightful lunch was served.

Jess Lower came home Sunday from Wasco where he has been since he was released from St. Vin cents hospital where he was taken after a fall from a train near Mess ner. He was in an unconscious condition for about ten days, but made a miraculous recovery. The ball game Sunday with Lex ington was too one-sided to be inter esting, with Boardman having her own way. The score was 12 to 0 at the close of the game. James Howell Jr. is one of the graduates from O. S. C. this week. He will leave later for New York city where he will do research work for one of the large utility compan ies. Jim is a graduate of B. H.

Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey will make their home with her brother, Leo Gorger, during the summer. Ralph Davis, a former Boardman resident, had a rather exciting ex perience recently at his home in Portland when he received a threat ening letter from a woman demand ing that a certain sum of money be paid her. He reported the mat ter to the police who found it the work of a woman mentally unbal anced, and a case of mistaken iden tity, she thinking it was a Dr. Davis to whom she was writing.

We were camped at Ringgold. It was there that we got our orders from "Pap" Thomas as we called him, to pack with two days rations and 40 rounds of cartridges. We marched all of that night and arrived on Snod- grass ridge at about noon Sunday. I was wounded at about 5 o clock that evening. A short time after that our line retreated and the reb el line passed over me. After about a half hour a rebel straggler came to me. He took my cap and gave me his old slouch hat. He also traded canteens. I guess he had a little sympathy for me for he rustled a blanket, which he brought to me before going on. So I began , to think I would soon be a pris oner, in their hands. I then de stroyed the cartridges that I had left nd took the lock off of my gun and threw it away. I laid there until Tuesday morning when the rebels gathered us up and took us to Snodgrass ridge down beside Chickamauga creek. We had our board and lodging there until Octo ber 2, when we signed the pay roll and were taken to the hospital at Chatanooga, Tenn. I was kept there until the latter part of January, 1864, when I was sent to Nashville. I was sent from one hospital to an other until I arrived at Camp Chase, Ohio, where I stayed until June 30, 1864. I receive my discharge then, For Sale 3-plate Hotpoint auto matic electric range.
