OREGON HISTORICAL SOCIETY PUBLIC A-JDITORl'JS PORTLA'JI. Volume 48, Number 8. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, May 7, 1931. Subscription $2.00 a Year a?ette wmt& WATER METER RATES El Check Shows Leaks Cause Heavy Loss; Patrons to Be Notified. 2 ORDINANCES READ Enforcement of Stop Signs, Ban on Air Rifles, Aim of Statutes Considered by Council. Heppner's water will be sold on a meter rate beginning June first. This was the decision of the city council Monday evening, though what the new rates will be was not announced. Gay M. Anderson, D. T. Goodman and Jeff Jones are councilmen on the committee that has been working for several months in an effort to determine the new rates, and their final report will be made and the rates adopted at a meeting of the council May 18. One certain thing, brought out at the meeting by W. E. Pruyn, water master, is that many leaks will need to be fixed if some property holders do not have to pay for much more water than they actually use. Mr. Pruyn has been keeping a check on the reading of the meters since their installation and has found the amounts of water going through the meters to residences to vary all the way from a normal amount, 2000 to 5000 galolns, up to as high as 112,000 gallons. Where the ex tremely large amount was found an investigation was made and a leaky "stop and waste" valve was uncov ered which was responsible for the major portion of the flow. Notice to be Given. The watermaster has kept a list of all exceptionally high meter readings which might indicate leaks, and will notify the people served through these meters In time for them to get the leaks stopped before the new rates go in to effect. Handbills to announce the time for changing to the new rate basis were authorized by the council to be distributed to all water users of the city. The question of how much water might be used In an hour's time if, as in the case of Irrigating, the full flow of the service lead were used, was asked, and Mr. Pruyn said that he would try and determine the av erage for the city. He said that the amount would vary with the vary ing pressure at different levels, and that naturally there would not be as much water go through the ser vice leads to residences on the high er levels as there would be to those lower down. Normal requirements for the average family for domestic use ranges from 2500 to 5000 gallons a month, depending on the size of the family. The rate committee was of the opinion some time ago that a liberal amount of water should be allowed for the minimum charge, whatever It might be. Pay for Fence at Well. Two ordinances were read in full and passed to second reading by ti tle for final passage or rejection by the council at Its next regular meet ing. One provides for enforcement of Btop signs within the city, and the other would prohibit shooting of air rifles within the city limits. Penalties are provided for the viola tion of the ordinances. Bills allowed at the meeting in cluded charges for placing the new fence about the property of the city at the artesian well. The council expressed satisfaction with the job at the price for which It was done, it being announced that the fence, painted white, lends to the attrac tiveness of the site. It was also re ported that the trees recently plant ed at the well are making progress with the exception of the mulberry trees, the latter said to have been eaten out by sheep. The matter of vacating portions of streets, recently applied for by the American Legion, the land to be used In making a public park and playground, will be taken up at the mid-month meeting of the council May 18.

In no time at all the creek was out over its banks in many places, but no serious damage resulted, and the ranchers from that point down were furnished with additional irri gation water. As a result of the flooding of Willow and Rhea creeks, the alfalfa fields on lower Willow creek were freshened to a point be low Cecil. The Garnet Barratt ranch just east of town got the force of the storm that fell in the vicinity of Heppner, and Mr. Bar ratt reports that the storm also struck heavily at their Sand Hollow place. Hinton creek came up very suddenly, and the shearers at work for Mr. Barratt had their camp washed out There was also a lot of water got out of bounds and flooded a portion of the lower alfal fa fields which did more good than harm, Mr. Barratt thinks. The storm was freakish and fail ed to reach farther up Hinton creek than just beyond the Barratt ranch and missed Butter creek en tirely, so the reports say. Here and there some rock was washed over the highway but no serious damage was done roads generally. One very satisfactory feature of the storm was that nearly every portion of the wheat belt enjoyed a steady rain of some two hours duration, thus re storing to the fields some of the moisture blown out by the east wind of the week previous. LOCAL NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Paul Marble and family motored to Yakima Sunday, where Mrs. Marble took stage for Seattle to spend a short time visit ing with her sister residing there.

Cooperative Road Money. Progress of plans for the annual war on crows and magpies was the main topic for discussion at the Lions club meeting Moday. That the Lions club contest had not been organized, was announced, due to the absence in Portland of Dr. A. D. McMurdo, team captain. Plenty of time yet remains to get the con test under way as birds are still nesting, said B. R. Patterson, chair man of the crow-magpie committee. Nineteen hundred bird eggs have so far been brought in by boys for bounty money, indicating that in roads are being made into the pre datory bird population. The number is far ahead of the eggs brought in by the same time last yaer, Mr. Pat terson said. C. W. Smith, vice-president, in the chair, said that Rhea Creek grange had organized a campaign with Or rain Wright and B. O. Anderson as team captains, their campaign to run for two weeks. Lions decided that juvenile grange members par ticipating in the contest might bring their birds and eggs In for the Lions club bounty after they have been counted in the contest Mr. Smith announced also that the grange was sponsoring an old-time fiddlers' contest, the winner of which will compete in a county-wide contest sponsored later by the Lions in Heppner. It was also said that Wil lows grange had organized in a campaign against crows and mag pies. Birds killed and eggs collected in the north end of the county are be ing taken into Arlington for the bounty being paid by the Arlington Sportsmen's association, it was said. Another matter taken into consid eration by the club was the proposal to have the county divert funds, budgeted for cooperation with the government in forest road work, to non-cooperative road, as the gov ernment has announced no money is available for cooperative work with counties this year. It was proposed to spend the money on the road leading from the new Barker mill on Rhea creek which, it was said, is preparing to turn out a large amount of lumber. It was said also that the Barker mill people are ser iously considering erection of a box factory in Heppner, an enterprise which some of the Lions said should have encouragement. The question was raised, however, as to whether it were possible for the county to divert the funds as proposed. The amount would be Insufficient to make a standard county road, but would do enough work to make the road passable, It was believed. It was said that the Barker people had offered to give the lumber for the erection of a needed bridge if the county would do the work. Mrs. Ed Piercey obliged the club with a song that was, well received, Mrs. William Poulson playing the accompaniment. MRS. J. D.

CIRCUIT CLOUT MADE Ashenfelter Hits Over Bight Field Fence; Bevy of Errors Makes Fray Hectic Condon took the lead from the first inning In the hectic bsaeball game against the locals oiT Rodeo field Sunday and were never head ed, though Heppner tied up the score in the fifth at 5-all and the affair had the appearance for a time of being a ball game. The final count was 16-9. Taking off with a run each in the first and second innings, Condon's lead appeared secure when Ashen felter knocked a circuit clout over the right field fence, scoring J Ba ker and Smith ahead of him. Hepp ner worked In a run in the second, and came through with three more in the third when Wilcox led the way by taking one of Baker's de liveries in the ribs, succedeed by singles of Harold Gentry and Moore, Turner's high sacrifice fly and a muffed grounder by Hess at short. Wilcox made the tying score in the fourth when he took first on a fielder's choice, and scored on a passed ball after stealing second and third. Robertson relieved Wilcox on the mound in the fourth, and was faced by only six batsmen in the next two innings. Then the sixth rolled around and Condon's lead was made perfectly secure on the annexation of seven runs. Ashenfelter led off with a clean single. Gentry made a bad throw on Hollen's grounder and the bases were loaded when R. Burns singled. Hess fanned, but Anderson scored Ashenfelter and Hollen on a clean blow. Moore failed to judge S. Baker's fly and Burns scored. J. Baker walked to again fill the bases. Then J. Burns placed a high fly back of second base, and everybody scored, himself included, in the wild throwing me lee that followed. Smith walked, and the bloiy-up was flniJy, ended when Correll caught Ashenfelter's high foul, and Robertson took Hol len's grounder for an easy throw out at first Heppner and Condon each work ed across four more runs in the re maining Innings, but Condon's seven-run margin was not jeopardized. Next Sunday Heppner journeys to Condon to engage the Wheat land league leaders again, and hope to give a better account of them selves. Box score and summary: Heppner 9 ABEHOAE H.

Mrs. Katie Petteys died at her home on Willow creek at 8:45 a. m. Friday, May 1st Funeral services were held at the Christian church in lone Sunday afternoon, May 3rd. and interment was in the Petteys cemetery where four generations of the Petteys family have been laid to rest. The funeral sermon was by Rev. Joel Benton, pastor of the Christian church of Heppner, assist ed by Rev. W. W. Head, pastor of the Congregational church of lone. The singing was by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Turner of Heppner, with Mrs. Cleo Drake of lone playing the accompaniment. Pall bearers were Walter Roberts, Victor Rietmann, Frank Lundell, Gene Engelman, Joel Engelman and Carlton Swan son. Case mortuary of Heppner had charge of the funeral arrange ments. Katie Ganger was born in Missou ri April 15, 1855, thus being 76 years and 15 days of age at the time of her death. When a girl of eight years, in company with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Gan ger, she crossed the plains by wag on train, under the leadership of Captain Wolfe. The family settled first at Willapa, Washington, later coming to Morrow county in 1874 and making a home in the Willow creek valley just above the present town of lone.

Mrs. Petteys was a true pioneer mother, loved by all who knew her, a loyal friend to everyone. The pro fusion of beautiful flowers, and the large number of people present at the funeral service bespoke the high regard in which she was held. She was indeed "faithful unto death," and the text around which Rev. Benton built his funeral sermon was a fitting one. "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Out of town relatives who were present at the funeral services of Mrs. Katie Petteys were Mrs. Ern est Newton and Mrs. Jalmer Koski of South Bend, Washington, Mrs. James Cossman of Eugene, Mrs. Esper Hanson and Gene Engelman of Portland, George and Ed Ganger, Mrs. Edna Crum and Mrs. Robert Ganger of John Day, Mr. and Mrs. George Ganger, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Will Ganger and children, Mrs. Car rie McNeil, Mr. and Mrs. O.
