Health Club Active.
An outstanding feature of the
day's program was the 4-H club
demonstrations. The demonstra
tions were for practice purposes
and were witnessed by more than
two hundred parents of club mem
bers and their friends. Miss Jessie
Palmiter criticised each of the dem
onstrations In order that the mem
bers might improve their work be
fore they enter competition in the
Heppner club show. Each club was
asked to give some kind of demon
stration and excellent subjects were
selected by the club members and
their leaders and the presentations
and object lessons were excellent
according to Miss Palmiter. An out
standing demonstration was given
by Margaret McDaid and Doris
Kllnger of the Strawberry club.
For the first time 4-H club health
work has been carried on In the
county. Kenneth Kllnger of Lex
ington was judged the most perfect
member from a physical standpoint,
entered in health club work in the
county and May Rouch of Lexing
ton made the most gain, according
to the examining physician, from
March 7, 1931, when she was first
scored, until September 10 when
the second scoring was made.
PREPARING FOR BUSINESS.
E. G. Noble, pioneer saddle mak
er, who was burned out in the fire
of last week, has taken temporary
quarters in the building formerly
occupied by- Morrow County Cream
ery Co., where he and Joe Snyder,
shoe repair man, are busy rehabili
tating their machinery, salvaged
from the ruins of the fire. They
hope to have the business moving
again, and Mr, Noble desires to
state that he is grateful to all
friends and former patrons for bus
iness enjoyed in the past, and hopes
that he and Mr. Snyder will still be
favored with whatever work the
people of the community can turn
their way. The present location Is
temporary only, and a little later
Mr. Noble expects to be located In
permanent quarters, nearer the
business center of town, announce
ment of which will appear In due
season.
Notson Named Director;
State Chamber Asks $200
S. E. Notson of Heppner was
named one of five directors at large
for the Oregon State Chamber of
Commerce, the appointment being
announced at a meeting of the or
ganization held in Portland Mon
day. Al Rankin, director for Mor
row county, attended the meeting.
Morrow county's quota was set at
$200, in, an attempt to raise $50,000
in the state to carry on the work
of the commercial body this year,
Mr. Rankin reported. Multnomah
county has agreed to contribute
$25,000 of the amount in order to
shift the burden of state activities
heretofore carried by the Portland
Chamber of Commerce to the state
chamber where they rightfully be
long. Mr. Rankin was enthusiastic over
the program outlined, and hoped
that this county could do its part
"The state chamber has already
brought many hundreds of people
and millions of dollars in invest
ments to the state through its land
settlement work, from which the
entire state has benefitted. All new
taxable wealth put on the rolls
helps to relieve the tax burden car
ried by the people already here," he
said.
Council Not Convened
To Discuss Bridge Plans
A special council meeting called
Monday evening for the purpose of
discussing plans and estimates for
rebuilding the bridge across Willow
creek on Cross street near the
swimming tank, was not called to
order because of the absence of in
formation expected to be had at the
time.
An Informal discussion by Mayor
McCarty and councilmen present
gave the sense of the council that
steps should be taken for the or
ganization of an adequate flreflght
lng force for the city, but no defin
ite plan was evolved. The mayor
expressed the opinion that he
would like to have a good represen
tation of interested business men
and the younger men who would
be willing to belong to the organi
zation meet with the council and
arrive at a definite method of pro
cedure. The next regular council
meeting will be the first Monday in
October.
4-H Leaders Meeting

ienced leaders. Anyone Interested
in these subjects is invited.
Miss Margaret McDaid and Miss
Doris Klinger of the Strawberry
Alpine Sewing II club will put on a
demonstration that will be given
for all Morrow county at the state
fair.
FIRE ORIGIN QUESTIONED.
The origin of the fire which vis
ited the business section of Hepp
ner last Thursday morning, report
ed In these columns last week as
emanating from the bakery cook
stove, was questioned in a later in
terview with H. A. Schultz, bakery
proprietor. Mr. Schultz at first
thought the fire did start there as
his first warning of it was given by
smoke coming from under the cook
stove. He immediately threw sev
eral buckets of water there which
had no effect on the amount of
smoke, coming out At no time, he
said, did he see any flames there,
and investigation after the fire re
vealed that the floor had not been
burned. Mr. Sohulte thought it
probable that the fire started from
some cause in the wall of the har
ness shop next door and the smoke
was forced through into the bakery.
Mr. Noble, harness shop proprietor,
knew of nothing in his place that
could have started the fire, though
defective wiring has been given by
some as a possible cause.
VISITS OLD HOME TOWN.
Wright County (Mo.) Republican.
Sam Hughes of Heppner, Oregon,
made the Republican office a very
pleasant call Monday. Mr. Hughes

VICTIMS OF FIRE
TO START AGAIN
Work Started on Luper Building;
Temporary Quarter Taken by
"Milliner, Saddler, Baker.
Fire victims whose businesses
were upset in Heppner last week
are all preparing to resume busi
ness as soon as possible. Insurance
adjustments were made this week,
reported in all instances to have
been quite satisfactory.
James F. Luper started two men
to work this morning overhauling
the Luper estate building which
Housed the Curran ready-to-wear
establishment and the Clark barber
shop, both of which businesses will
be reestablished in their former lo
cations as soon as the building is
put in shape. Plans cnotemplate
that the building will be in readi
ness in 22 days.
Mrs. Curran has removed her fire
damaged stock to the Rood estate
building used as Rodeo headquar
ters where she is disposing of it
E. G. Noble has rented the for
mer creamery building on" lower
Main street where he and Joe Sny
der .are busy at present overhaul
ing the fire damaged machinery.
They expect to reopen the harness

as to building plans on the Heppner
Bakery and Noble properties. H.
A. Schultz, bakery proprietor, is
contemplating arrangements to re
build. Firmer Tone in Wheat
On Portland Exchange
May wheat on the Portland Grain
exchange made a net gain of one
cent for the week September 7-12,
with the exchange reporting, "a
very apparent optimistic tone was
noticeable within the grain trade
during the past week." September
(old) made a net gain of 1 3-4c, Sep
tember (new) was up 1 l-4c, and
December was up 1 l-2c. Portland,
Astoria and Longview visible sup
ply was 8,218,214 bushels, with Port
land car receipts for the week to
talling 540. The report continues:
While the Farm Board sale to
China eliminates another market
for the present there . is a feeling
that the general cleaning up of
burdensome accumulations of
wheat, will prove a constructive
step in more quickly restoring the
markets of wheat to a normal, ef
ficient basis, free from the experi
ments of politicians parading as
the farmers' friend.
The private trade sold about 10,
000 tons of wheat to California this
week and there were a few small
parcels sold to move to the United
Kingdom as well as a small busi
ness with Japan and North China,
but there was very little In the
general situation to encourage ex
porters. Wheat prices acted extremely
well in the face of the weakness
shown by stocks. There are con
structive factors shown by crop re
ports and world conditions, that
may react very favorably on pre
sent values within a short time.

Coyote Hides Not Tanned,
Says Adam; He Killed Em
Early Morning of Parade
"O Gee, Gosh! If you'd had to
ride behind 'em, you'd known bet
ter! . "The entrails were drawn In con
sideration of the sensitivities of
the people, otherwise it's doubtful
if anyone had been there to see the
parade.
"Yes, sirree, I killed those coyotes
that very morning, Just a ways
above Jerry Kllcup's. Jerry had
reported a killer around his place,
and he went with me. When I
heard of 'em, I thought of the idea
of showing 'em in the parade, so
we went out and got 'em that
morning."
That's what Adam Knoblock, lo
cal government trapper, thought of
the veracity of the Gazette Times
reporter who said his car was dec
orated with tanned coyote hides
for the Rodeo parade, and for
which he received the prize of a
year's subscription to this family
journal.
All of which goes . to show that
when Adam needs a coyote, he goes
out and gets him. Except in this
case, when he got six.
Cions Club Commended
On Record of Service
In a letter Just received from
Melvln Jones, founder and secretary-general
of Lions International,
the local Lions club was commend
ed on the work which they accom
plished during the past year. Mr.
Jones states that, in his annual re
port to the international conven
tion of Lions clubs, which was held
in Toronto, Canada, last month, he
was happy to be .able to include
and give recognition to the part the
local Lions club played in the asso
ciation's program of service.
The record of their service, as
taken directly from Mr. Jones' re
port to the convention, is as fol
lows:
Heppner Joined with American
Legion in sponsoring community
Fourth of July celebration. Num
bered all houses in city and placed
name plates on all streets. Staged
a beauty contest Entered float in
rodeo parade. Formed a gym class
for business men. Netted $200 from
community play. Cooperated with
United Charities in relief to the
needy. Assisted Eastern Oregon
Wheat league meeting. Joined in
community Christmas tree celebra

drouth relief fund. Entertained
and presented pins and certificates
to outstanding members of 4-H
clubs. Cooperated in several cam
paigns to relieve unemployment sit
uation. Worked for early comple
tion of Heppner-Spray road.
An accurate record of activities
is maintained at International
headquarters which shows that
during the past year, 16,625 activ
ities have been reported by the 2,500
clubs in the association. These ac
tivities have for the most part fall
en under the following general
classifications: Blind work, boys'
work, child welfare, citizenship, civ
ic improvement, cooperation with
other agencies, education, farm
work, public welfare, and safety.
Presumably because of the in
creasing need for service work to
day, 1,308 more activities were re
ported for the past year than have
ever been reported before.
