TELLS OF PROGRESS
Two Accomplishments of National
Corporation in Its First Year
Cited by Manager.
That the Eastern Oregon Wheat
league conference in Heppner, Dec.
11-13, may attract two outstanding
men in the national grain market
ing hook-up is likely, according to
word received by C. W. Smith,
county agent, from E. R. Jackman,
extension specialist of Oregon State
college. The men are George S.
Milnor, general manager of the
Farmers National Grain corpora
tion, and Mr. Jeffers of Sacramento,
Cal., connected with the administra
tion of the Grain Futures act
Mr. Milnor has stated that he Is
favorable to attending the meeting,
and if he can possibly arrange his
program to do so he will be here.
G. R. Hyslop of the college, who
contacted Mr. Milnor, thinks that
he will come.
Mr. Jeffers said he will be able to
come and give a discussion on the
grain futures market. "This would
not be a very long discussion, but
I think would be an interesting one,
as many farmers would at times
like to make use of the grain fu
tures markets, and others have con
siderable misinformation or misun
derstanding about how the futures
market works," Mr. Jackman
writes. '
Accomplishment Told.
That Mr. Milnor would have a
message of major importance, is
evident by his important position.
Recently he wrote of the- progress
of the Farmers National Grain cor
poration as follows:
The closing of the first year of the
life of Farmers National Grain cor
poration offers an opoprtunlty to
review the progress that has been
made in the development of cooper
ative, farmer-controlled grain mar
keting on a national scale. I think
we may be justified in pointing out
two major accomplishments In that
comparatively short period of time:
1. We have assisted in establish
ing quite definitely the principle
that the producer has the unques
tioned right to market his product.
2. We have further demonstrated
that through proper laws and with
adequate financial assistance, the
producer .can, through his own or
ganization, handle the grain he pro
duces from the farm to the ultim
ate processor, whether that be the
American miller or foreign buyer.
As far as I know, no firm hereto
fore has undertaken such a wide
scope of activities as has Farmers
National Grain corporation. We are
buying and handling grain from
producers over the entire country.
In order to do this it has, of course,
been necessary to establish branch
oilices and organizations in the var
ious grain areas, as well as to pro
vide suitable facilities for grain
handling.
The central office at Chicago de
fines the policies under which all
blanches operate, obtains facilities
at all locations, directs all purchases
and sales and receives dally reports
from all branches.
Branches at Many Points.
At present district branches are
operated at Pendleton, Ore., for the
raclflc Northwest; at Kansas City,
Mo., for the southwest; at St Louis
for the soft wheat territory, and at
St. Paul, Minn., for the near north
west. In addition, agents or repre
sentatives are maintained at Seattle
and Spokane, Wash., Portland, Ore.,
. Ogdon, Utah, Denver, Colo., Witchl
ta, Knn., Enid, Okla., Omaha, Neb.,
Minneapolis, Minn., Cedar Rapids,
la., Dululh, Minn., and Indianapolis,
Ind.

Spray Road Work Halted;
26 Inches in Timberland
Stops Activity.
FALL WEATHER FINE
Wheat Especially Favored; Lack
Of Feed Unlikely; Folks Caught
Leave Woods Safely.
The earliest snow in Morrow
county for many years blanketed
the south end last Thursday night
barely covering the ground as far
north as Morgan, but accumulating
to the depth of 26 inches In the
higher timbered regions to the
fouth. The snowfall has continued
at intervals since in the mountains,
stopping construction work on the
Heppner-Spray road, and otherwise
paralyzing activity in the region.
In Heppner and to the north the
snow did not last long, and was
succeeded by a heavy rain Satur
day, adding to what has already
amounted to a more than normal
supply of moisture throughout the
wheat raising area.
The early signs of winter come
as a climax to what farmers say
has been an ideal fall, with grain
everywhere getting a good start
and in excellent condition to wel
come a heavy blanket of snow. A
feature of the advantage given the
wheat in making rapid progress
this season is said to be the fact
that early rains followed by a con
siderable dry spell gave the weeds
a start and caused them to die out
before the next moisture supply
which brought the wheat along with
growth unhindered by the usually
abundant weeds.
Range Favored.
Stockmen, too, have been favored
by the good growing season, as new
grass has provided good fall pas
ture. While early snow is not so
welcome to them because of the ad
ded feeding It would necessitate, in
most instances they face winter
with sufficient feed supplies, and re
ports are there is little likelihood of
a feed shortage. Wheat of which
large stores remain unsold in the
county, may play an important part
in the feeding of stock with an
nouncement of special processing
methods which make its use prac
tical. While freezing weather has been
experienced in Heppner nights for
nearly two weeks, so far the tem
perature has not dropped to a point
causing extreme inconvenience. Mo
torists, generally, have prepared
their cars for winter driving, and
are not alarmed by the possibility
of a heavy freeze-up.
Caught by Snow.
Report from Hardman Tuesday
evening was that snow there cov
ered the ground to the depth of
four inches, with drifts several feet
deep caused by a heavy south wind
which accompanied the storm there.
Bert and Kenneth Bleakman of that
place and F. H. Wehmeyer of Hepp
ner, with the forest reserve, were
caught at Rock springs by the
storm, where they reported a depth
of 26 inches of snow. They were
two days making their way to Hard-
man, a distance of 30 miles.
Another party composed of Mrs.
Ruby Matteson, Mrs. Roxie Sperry
and Al Kistler was reported strand
ed Saturday. They ran out of gas
and were snowed in at the Ditch
Creek ranger station, but were lat
er reached and brought through by
Ralph Marlatt
Outside Visited.
Snowfall at many points on the
outside is reported, with the Mac
kenzie pass already closed, and
condition of other routes through
the Cascades already necessitating
winter driving precautions. A sales
man in Heppner yesterday reported
snow at Deschutes and along the
Columbia highway through the
higher sections, though the latter
route is being kept clear.
Normal autumn weather Is being
enjoyed In Heppner this morning
with Old Sol smiling brightly
through a lightly cloud-cast sky.

PARIS NIGHT LIFE GAY;
LOCAL GIRL TELLS TRIP
By LILLIE A. ALLINGER
(Continued from last week.)
Then on to Lucerne, Switzerland,
through the Black forest of Ger
many and some of the best agricul
tural sections of Germany. The
fields are very well cultivated and
everything looked neat and trim.
Lucerne is an exquisite city sit
uated on the Lake of the Four Con
tons or Lake Lucerne. This lake is
set like a deep-colored sapphire in
the midst of the rugged Alps and
is called the most beautiful lake in
Switzerland. It is so clear that one
can see to a great depth. Lucerne
Is a summer resort and magnificent
hotels line the lake. At night the
lights shimmer out over the water
making the whole city seem almost
fairy-land.
We stayed at a quaint little Swiss
hotel dating from the 14th century.
It was very modern and up-to-date
as to accommodations but had little
staircases running up and around
until, if one did not watch oneself,
ho would be lost completely. .And
all of our puddings in Switzerland
were flavored with wine!
I saw Thouvalden's world famous
"Lion of Lucerne," a statue of a dy
ing lion, 28 feet long, cut into the
fuce of a cliff and commemorating
the soldiers of the Swiss guard who
died In defense of the Tuillenes In
1792. This statue is a very impres
sive sight
There aro also the famous cov
ered bridges with queer paintings
of the Dance of Death hanging
from under the rafters. These
bridges extend across the lake in

us in each valley were smaller
lakes. From the top of Mt Rigl we
could see hundreds of miles over
Switzerland and ten completely
snow-covered mountains, among
them the Jungfraw.

weeks ago, has progressed slowly,
but assurance of success was given
in the report of representatives of
various other organizations at the
Lions meeting Monday. The Amer
ican Legion and I. O. O. F. have
already given endorsement to the
move, and the county court and city
council have .provided funds in
their budgets, part of which may
be turned over to the central or
ganization for handling, in case the
organization is perfected. Members
of other organizations, which have
not yet given the matter considera
tion, gave assurance that it would
be brought to their attention this
week.
The plan of procedure as intro
duced by the Lions committee and
explained by C. L. Sweek, president,
is to have the various organizations
consider the proposal of a central
relief body, and if they favor such
an organization, to contribute what
funds they feel able to give and ap
point one member to assist in the
permanent organization. . The funds
thus contributed will be a nucleus,
which may be added to by popular
individual subscriptions, the central
organization to handle all relief
cases not coming under the Juris
diction of the county poor account
or the American Red Cross, whose
powers for giving relief are re
stricted, and to give aid commen
surate with the demands and the
funds available.
Women Given $1000.
Interesting reports of the Oregon
Wool Growers association conven
tion at Burns last week end were
given by Garnet Barratt and Chas.
W. Smith. Mr. Barratt a vice pres
ident of the association, gave some
of the high lights of the conven
tion, the most important action he
considered being the raising of $1000
for advertising the merit of lamb
for eating purposes, which money
was turned over to the women's
auxiliary of the association for ex
penditure. Mrs. W. P. Mahoney
of this city was retained as presi
dent of the women's auxiliary, be
ing a tribute to her worth to the
organization, Mr. Barratt said.
As an Indication of what the val
ue of the Heppner-Spray road when
completed will be in getting to central-Oregon
points, Mr. Barratt said
the trip going to Burns via this
route was made in a little more
than five hours, while snow in the
higher altitudes forced his party to
return by way of the next shortest
route, which took eleven hours.
Grant Men Active.
Both 'Mr. Barratt and Mr. Smith
paid tribute to the fine spirit pre
vailing among stockmen of Grant
county, as shown at their conven
tion attended at Canyon City on
the way to Burns. Mr. Barratt
cited as a "believe It or not" the
organization of cattle and sheep
men for the last 25 years to fight
mutual battles. This he learned as
a surprise, knowing of the antagon
ism that prevailed between the two
livestock Interests in the early days.
