Dr. Winnard Visits; Committee Set
For River Meet; McMahon Cites
State Police Organization.
Edward F. Bloom, who has as
sumed the administrative reins of
the Heppner schools which open
Monday, made his bow to the Lions
club last Monday. In becoming
identified with the service club, he
made a short talk setting out the
administrative policy of greatest
economy consistent with efficiency,
and solicited the cooperation of
Heppner citizens to the end that
the school year might give the ut
most service to the community. He
extolled the high standard reached
by the Heppner schools under im
mediate past administrations, and
declared it his aim to maintain this
standard.
In connection with the announce
ment that a contract for gravelling
nine miles of new grade on the
Heppner-Spray road would be let
on September 16, George Bleakman,
county commissioner, told of the
plan that is to be used of hauling
the gravel by team-drawn dump
wagons in order to provide employ
ment for more men. To assist him
in providing information as to the
number of teams and dump wagons
available locally, a committee of
club members was appointed to
contact farmers, with Chas. W.
Smith, county agent, as chairman.
The club gave hearty endorsement
to the plan, and the committee
set to work immedlatetly following
adjournment of the meeting.
Best Years Spent Here.
Dr. N. E. Winnard, for 14 years a
practicing physician in Heppner
from 1905, and since leaving here a
resident of Eugene, was a guest of
the club. He related anecdotes of
former days in Heppner, depicting
the 14 years spent here as the hap
piest days of his life. He was glad
to note the spirit of optimism prev
alent here, and put In a word in be
half of Eugene against the proposed
merger of the university and state
college.
S. E. Notson and W. W. Smoad
were appointed as a committee to
arrange for a delegation from
Heppner to be present at a hearing
before a senate committe on pro
posed Improvements on the Colum
bia and Snake rivers, to be held at
Lewiston on September 7 and 8.
Mr. Notson will present a five-minute
paper at the meeting on the ad
vantages of river transportation to
Morrow county.
The club voted an appreciation of
the services of Paul Marble, first
vice-president, which office was de
clared vacated by Mr. Marble's re
moval to Sunnyslde, Wash., and he
was extended beat wishes for suc
cess in his new field.
Police Give Aid.
F. A. MoMahon, state policeman
In the traffic division, was a guest
and by request of the program com
mittee gave a short talk outlining
the state police organization. One
of the chief aims of the organiza
tion Is to give assistance to the pub
lic, and members of the force do
not like to be considered a "dis
ease," Mr. McMahon said. The
state police have been In existence
Just a little more than a year, un
der the leadership of Charles P.
Pray, who has been a popular
though exacting chief, he said. Un
der the new set-up, the various
state enforcement officers were put
In three divisions, traffic, game and
Investigation forces. The traffic
officers are uniformed and carry
the insignia of -the organization on
their cars. The game officers are
required to be in uniform when on
the highway, but may not wear un
iform when In the mountains. The
Investigation department, made up
of officers from the fire marshal's
office and from the prohibition de
partment, are all plain clothes men
who bear no distinctive Insignia and
who come and go unrecognized by
the public. It is the purpose of the
state police to work In close coop
eration with county and municipal
enforcement officers, and Mr. Mc
Mahon said he had received the best
of support from officers In Morrow
county.'
Ninety per cent of the officers In
the traffic department have Red
Cross first aid certificates. All car
ry a large amount of equipment be
sides spare gasoline and oil to help
distressed motorists, and Mr. Mc
Mahon Is among a few who have
portable telephones which may be
attached to telephone linos any
where to facilitate rapid communi
cation, both for relief and enforce
ment purposes. Do not hesitate to
call upon a state policeman when In
trouble, he said. If your combine Is
broken down and you have no
means of getting repair from
town, you may stop a state police
man If he happens by, and he will
go to town and back for the need
ed extras. All those things are in
the day's work for a state officer,
who gets every bit as much credit
for such Good Samaritan acts as he
does for making a dozen arrests.
The state police work on a flat sal
ary, and there is no incentive for
150 TEAMS SIGNED
FOR GRAVEL JOB
Short Time to Work Keeps Commit
tee From Seeing All Farmers;
Spray Job to be let 16th.
In response to the request of the
bureau of public roads for the num
ber of teams available for work on
the macadam Job to be let on the
Heppner-Spray road September 16,
G. A, Bleakman, county commis
sioner, and H. Tamblyn, county en
gineer, left for Portland yesterday
morning with a sign-up of 150
teams secured through the efforts
of the Lions club committee, head
ed by C. W. Smith, county agent
"We were advised that names of
those having teams available had
to be in Portland by 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon," said Mr. Smith,
"leaving but a very short time In
which to work, and it was Impos
sible to contact all farmers of the
county. That farmers are recep
tive to the Idea Is shown by the
large number of teams secured In
the short time, and it is certain
many more teams can be had If
needed."
Specifications of the bureau call
for animals weighing not less than
1500 pounds. Owners of teams used
will receive $3 a day, but will be ex
pected to furnish shelter and feed.
The teams will be used In hauling
gravel in lieu of truck transporta
tion for the purpose of providing
employment to a greater number of
men and to help lessen the expense
of carrying local horses through the
quiet season. The contract to be
let calls for 9 miles of surfacing on
the new grade between Chapln
creek and Haystack canyon. It is
expected the amount of work to
be done this fall will depend en
tirely on weather conditions.

The opening gun of Heppner"s
eleventh Rodeo at 1:30 tomorrow
afternoon will raise the curtain on
what should be the best show in the
annals of local cowboy history, de
clares C. W. McNamer, president,
who bases his prediction on the
amount and caliber of the stock
rounded up for the event.
More and faster race horses than
have ever been shown on the local

to show. The forty-seven racing
animals, many of which will go
