EDWARD F. BAILEY
ADDRESSES LIS
Candidate for Governor
Upholds Income Tax,
River Shipping.
LEADERSHIP NEEDED
Boy Scout Work and Heppner-Spray
Road Recognized In Com
mittee Appointments.
Edward F. Bailey, democratic
nominee for governor and president
of the Junction City Lions club, was
a guest of Heppner Lions at their
meeting Monday. He stopped here
for a short time on his return home
from the state American Legion
convention at Baker. In his club
talk Mr. Bailey made no reference
to campaign issues, confining him
self to a short discourse on matters
pertaining to state . government.
This was his only public appear
ance while in the city, though he
expects to return later when he
hopes to meet a larger number of
people.
Likening the state government
to a business, Mr. Bailey declared
three factors to enter into its suc
cessful conduct, namely: finance,
or sufficient money with which to
conduct the business; ability to sell
products at a profit, and coordina
tion and cooperation of the differ
ent departments and people within
the business to eliminate friction.
Cheaper Transportation Need
The present system of state fin
ancing causes the burden to fall too
heavily upon one class of property,
real and personal, he said. This
needs to be remedied if the state is
to progress. A fundamental prin
ciple of our system of government
requires that the people shall be
taxed according to their ability to
pay. Following this course, Mr.
Bailey advocatetd an income tax,
properly applied, as the best means
yet suggested for shifting the load
and giving the greatest relief to
those who now carry too much of
the burden.
Touching the second factor, he
declared cheaper transportation
needed to facilitate the marketing
of Oregon products at a profit De
velopment of Oregon's waterways,
the Columbia and Wilamette rivers,
he asserted, would help bring this
about.
More cooperation is needed on the
part of people all over the state to
do away with petty jealousy be
tween cities and individual sections.
More of the attitude prevalent with
in the service clubs is needed. Here
men get together to work for their
towns, doing that which is Dest for
the town and ignoring personal
gain, the candidate suggested in
treating the third factor. To bring
this about a leadership big enough
to rise above any single party or
faction must be had.
Oregon's problems are economic
In character, not political, Mr. Bail
ey said in conclusion. It is a mis
take for one party to oppose solu
tions for these problems Just be
cause another party happens to pro
pose them. Each solution should be
given the consideration Its merit
Justifies, and be considered wholly
on its merit not made a party is
sue. To Boost Spray Road

ment of the local troop.

ther. The committe'i consists of

company, reports that as a result
all of the street lights of Heppner

Oil Discovery Arouses
Grant County People
(Grant County Journal)
Oil was reported discovered on
the property of the Oliver Bros, in
Bear valley last Thursday afternoon
by well drillers who were boring for
artesian water.
Indications of oil were discovered
from the 540 foot level of the well.
According to Herman Oliver, the
driller passed through a strata of
white sand and then noticed oil
signs on his tools. He sent down a
bail and found on the water a heavy
surface of what he believed to be
crude petroleum oil.
Mr. Oliver was immediately noti
fied of the discovery and with Ralph
Curl he went to his place in Bear
valley. Mr. Curl, who has had con
siderable experience in the oil fields
of Wyoming, agreed that indications
of oil seemed to be quite evident and
advised Oliver to send for an expert
from Salt Lake City.
Mr. Oliver said that he was going
to take plenty of time to investigate
the possibilities.
The discovery has caused a great
deal of excitement in Grant and
Harney counties and already pro
moters and speculators have made
their appearance and are trying to
get leases on Bear valley property.

Kathryn Nys Injured
When Struck by Car
Kathryn Nys, small daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Nys, suffered1
painful though probably not serious
injuries, last Sunday evening when
struck by the automobile of W. O.
Bayless at the Alfalfa Lawn dairy
below Heppner. The Nys family
had driven to the dairy for milk,
having returned from a vacation
trip to the coast the evening be
fore, and had parked the car in the
driveway near the milk house off
the Oregon-Washington highway.
Little Merle Burkenbine, a neigh
bor child who acompanied them,
alighted from the car followed by
Kathryn, and before Mr. and Mrs.
Nys were aware of it the children
had started across the highway.
The Bayless car came from the
north over the hump in the road
which obscures view of the cross
ing until right upon it Mr. Bayless
who was driving, noticed the boy
ahead and swung to miss him,
catching the little girl whom he had
not seen. The car was not traveling
fast, and soon came to a complete
stop. Kathryn was thrown on the
hard road surface, sustaining se
vere scratches on the side of her
face and bruises about the arms,
legs and back. She was unconscious
for a time, and later not remem
bering what had happened she ask
ed her father how she received her
scratches. She is reported to be re
covering nicely.

accompanied him were much affect
ed by the accident, which was held
by Mr. and Mrs. Nys to have been
entirely unavoidable. The crossing
is considered dangerous by Wight-
man brothers, who expect to put up
signs in the near future warning
?ieople approaching it, especially
hose who are not in the habit of
slowing up their cars.

the year 1930-31, their personnel be
ing complete, and they are expected
to all be in the city by the end of
the week, announces W. R. Poulson,
superintendent Plans are being
made for enrollment of the largest
number of pupils in the history of
the school.
Enrollment will be augmented by
at least two additional districts
transporting pupils to Heppner,
making a total of at least three out
side districts taking advantage of
the facilities offered by the local
schools. Lena, district No. 2, will
continue to transport its pupils here
while Willow Creek, district No. 34,
and Sand Hollow, district No. 41,
are the newcomers. Balm Fork,
district No. 42, may also bring pu
pils here, though definite arrange
ments have not been made.
New Feature Added.
Another new feature instituted
at the school this year will be a
book exchange, Mr. Poulson an
nounced this week. Each year pu
pils bring used books to school with
the desire of selling them, while
many inquiries are also made as
to the obtaining of these. Hereto
fore no centralized agency has been
employed, and the used books have
afforded more or less of a problem.
This year Miss Florence French,
high school student will be in
charge of an exchange where such
books may be disposed of and ac
quired. The school will set all
prices on books either bought or
sold, but the exchange will not be
conducted at a profit Mr. Poulson
says there is no desire whatever
to compete with the book stores who
handle new books.
In connection with the book ques
tion, Mr. Poulson says there will be
few If any changes this year In
the textbooks required by the state
course of study.
Teaching Line-up Given.
In the lineup of teachers for the
grades, but three changes in the

RETURNING TO NORMALCY.
Marshal Devin has called our at
tention to the fact that when the
new filling stations within the limits
of the city of Heppner are complet
ed, we will have returned to the
normal condition of pre-Volstead
times. This city formerly boasted
just that number of "filling sta
tions" up and down Main street,
and during those days the competi
tion was just as keen as it appears
to be now; the product offered be
ing of a far different nature, how
ever. NOTICE.
Notice is hereby given that Ordin
ance No. 93 of the City of Heppner
provdes that all persons having know
ledge of any person being affected with
any infectious or contagious diseu.se
shall immediately report the same to
the Chief of Police or the City Health
Officer.
This ordinance was enacted to pro
tect the public and the spread of con
tagious diseases, and provides a penalty
of not less than $f.00, nor more than
$100.00 for anyone convicted of failure
of making such report.
Dated August 21, 1930.
