journey finally came to an end in
the broad open country of Solano

"Little Robert and his sister Lu

Robert attended Hesperia college

the intelligentsia in the country
round about by becoming a full

Teaching aspirations, however,
according to this writer, were some

master met up with the charming
brunette and teaching was aban
doned for the life of farm and ranch
in Eastern Oregon.

struggles over the years brought
hardship and sorrow at times, yet
there has been much of pleasure
down through this 50 years. Mr.
and Mrs. Turner have been blessed
by a family of six sona and one
daughter, ail of whom grew up In
this community, five of them hav
ing builded their homes here; these
are F. W W. H., J. O., S. W. and
J. W. Turner; while one son, Loy
M. Turner resides in Long Beach,
Calif., where he is superintendent
of the city water department, and
the daughter, Mrs. W. L. LaDusire,
resides with her husband at La
Grande, Oregon.
Mr. Turner first engaged In the
cattle business here, and this ven
ture was not a financial success, his
biographer stating that he pur
chased the stock at $40 per head
and after feeding them through
several hard winters eventually dis
posed of them at The Dalles for
$10 apiece. Grain raising, sheep
raising and butter making were
other farm labors engaging the at
tention of Mr. Turner and his good
wife for successive years, but the
members of the family reaching an
age that required better school fa
cilities, the farm home gave place
to a home in Heppner, from which
point Mr. Turner carried on with
the farm for many years, later re
tiring when his sons took over the
ranch properties.
The reunion Sunday was indeed a
happy event, not only for Mr. and
Mrs. Turner but for all members of
the family present, and this paper
joins with their many friends in
wishing them many returns of their
marriage anniversary and years of
joy and contentment.

New OSC Station Bulletin
Deals With Fish and Game
Parasites of one kind or another
have been found in every important
species of game fish which occurs in
Oregon, although in most Instances
these parasites do no serious dam
age if present only in small num
bers, says a new bulletin published
by the Oregon State college experi
ment station, entitled "Some Dis
eases of Oregon Fish and Game and
Identification of Parts of Game An
imals." The mere finding of para
sites in fish and game, it goes on to
say however, should not be reason
for condemnation for food, as all
meat-producing animals serve as
hosts for parasites.
The new bulletin reports results
of studies of problems concerned
with diseases of Oregon fish and
game some of which were begun as
early as 1925, by the department of
veterinary medicine at O. S. C. in
cooperation with the Oregon State
Game commission. Authors are Dr.
J. N. Shaw, Dr. B. T. Simms and O.
H. Muth of the veterinary medicine
department.
Some of the fish eating birds are
known to be carriers of parasites
which live a part of their lives in
fish, the bulletin says, and such
birds may severely contaminate
lakes and streams. Because life
cycles of many fish parasites are
still unknown, further studies will
be necessary if control measures are
to be worked out.

Killing 10,000 Drought
Cattle at Spokane Plant
Spokane. Six carloads contain
ing 190 head of beef cattle and
calves, the first consignment of ap
proximately 10,000 scheduled to be
shipped by the government from
drought-stricken middle west and
western states, arrived at Armour
and Company's Spokane plant early
this week. Further shipments are
expected Immediately and will con
tinue throughout the coming thirty,
days.
The initial shipment of stock
came from Wyoming with other
shipments enroute from the Dako
tas and eastern Montana as well.
The animals to be slaughtered at
the Spokane plant will be chilled
and boned, and then shipped to out
side points for canning. The calves
included In the shipment are to be
frozen in "sides." Armour and
Company, according to G. E. Schille,
manger, will employ 100 to 150 men
for this operation. The government
contemplates diverting the frozen
and canned meats into relief chan
nels. Dallas Prune growers in Polk
county are being advised by County
Agent J. R. Beck to delay putting
on "para-dl," for prune root borers
until after harvesting is completed.
Prune picking started so much ear
lier this year than usual that pick
ing of the fruit and normal time
for applying the "para-di" came al
most at the same time.
