which consists of twelve troughs, a
capacity of one thousand to twelve
hundred gallons. Similar work is
being carried on in Umatilla and
Wheeler counties.
Deer appear to be plentiful and
this year's fawn crop is heavy. Last
week I saw five does and seven
fawns, within an hour's time in
Opal ranger station pasture and
have failed to note a single barren
doe this year. The elk are also in
fine condition and are becoming
more widely distributed each year.
Elk are being seen throughout the
Heppner district and adjacent ter
ritory. Eighty percent of the sheep will
be removed from the forest by the
first of October and none will re
main later than the 10th. Cattle will
also be off by the fifteenth. Stock
are coming off in very good condi
tion. This is due largely to the
wide distribution of watering places.
Approximately one hundred water
developments have been installed
on the Heppner district during the
past five years.
All small bridges and home made
culverts have been removed from
the Western route road between
Ditch creek and Ukiah. These have
been replaced with standard creo
soted wire-bound culverts. It is ex
pected that the balance of the road
will be brought up to standard an
other year. This is a real improve
ment and should mean a lot to those
who use the road.
Approximately twenty-five hun
dred cords of wood has been remov
ed from the forest under free use
permit this season, going to all
parts of Morrow county.
Under this year's building pro
gram, we have built a small barn
at Bull Prairie and Ditch Creek
guard stations, a new three room,
English type cottage at Ditch creek
and a sixty-foot tower on Porcu
pine ridge. At the main stations
we have many modern conveniences
such as running water and hot wa
ter tanks. At three stations we
have bath rooms, complete to
grandpa's picture frame.
This year we have had the most
successful fire season in a decade.
This is due in part to better and
more improvements such as roads
and men, but is also due in no small
part to the wholehearted coopera
tion of all those local people who
used the forest.
In addition to our regular force
of eight guards and lookouts sta
tioned over the forest we now have
four additional stations for emer
gency. These are all improved and
have towers and housing facilities.
This year we have been in daily
communication with the Whitman
and Malheur forests via radio. On
Tamarack peak we have had the
latest improved portable radio, per
fected by the forest service. It is
about five inches wide and five
inches high and eighteen inches
long. It transmits and receives
both voice and code. Many experi
ments are being carried out at the
various stations and much data is
being gathered. We have aerome
ters for recording the velocity of
the wind, hydrotheromographs for
keeping temperatures and humid
ity, visibility meters, rain gauges
and humidity and duff recording
instruments. The good old days,
when those antagonistic to the ser
vice used to swear that ranger
sweat was worth a thousand dol
lars an ounce, are gone forever;
now the guards are either pushing
a pencil, keeping records and other
data, or they have the seat of their
breeches turned up to the sun grub
bing out trails, surveying, building
roads, constructing telephone lines,
fighting fires, building cabins and
towers, fencing or any one of the
thousand and one things there al
ways seem to be waiting to get
done.
MAY FACE CHARGES.
Ray Davis of Winlock, Wheeler
county, who wounded Nick Leath
ers in a hunting accident last week,
may face charges in court, accord
ing to report of W. E. Francis,
state game policeman, who assisted
in apprehending Davis after Davis
and his hunting partners, Raymond
Steirwalt and Melvin Hoaglund,
had taken French leave from the
scene of the accident. Davis was
reported as saying he shot when he
saw something move in the brush,
thinking it was a deer. Leathers,
pioneer of the Hardman section,
who now resides in Portland, was
hunting in the Notch section in
company with a party of hunters
from Heppner and Lexington, when
the accident happened.
SALE LARGELY ATTENDED.
The public sale at the W. V. Pe
dro ranch seven mile west of Hepp
ner on Willow creek was largely
attended Tuesday, with upwards of
a hundrel cars parked on the prem
ises. Generally good prices prevail
ed for the numerous articles offer'
ed, though Mr. Pedro reports the
livestock did not bring as much as
expected. He expects to leave in
the near future for the vicinity of
Gold Bach where he will follow the
sheep game.
MAKE LIFE SCOUT RANK.
The rank of life Scout was con
ferred upon two members of the lo
cal troop at a court of honor held
at the school gym last evening. The
boys qualifying for the rank were
LaVerne Van Marter and John

Grant County Folks
Express Appreciation
Letters of appreciation from
Grant county folk for the part
played by Morrow county folk in
staging the recent Grant county
fair, were received this week by
Henry Aiken, Rodeo president, and
Harold Buhman, director of the
school band. The letters follow:
Mr. Henry Aiken,
Heppner, Oregon.
Dear Mr. Aiken:
We, the rodeo committee of the
Grant County Fair and Rodeo, want
to thank you and your association
from the bottom of our hearts for
the wonderful spirit of cooperation
shown by you and the rest of your
good citizens from Heppner. The
free use of your horses was certain
ly wonderful. With the increase
we had in riders we would have
been short of bucking etock if it
had not been for your horses.
You cannot realize how our folks,
who are directly interested in our
fair and rodeo, feel toward the peo
ple of Heppner for their interest
and. cooperation. It is a valuable
thing to have such a friendly feel
ing between two communities. Your
delegation and band put the finish
ing touches to our fair and rodeo,
and we do not know how we will be
able to return the compliment.
However, our hearts are with you
people, and we will watch for an
opportunity to repay you.
Again thanking you and all the
other good people from Heppner
for their presence and assistance in
making the fair just completed one
of the biggest and best ever held in
Grant county, we are,
Yours very truly,
HERMAN OLIVER,
CHAS. TROWBRIDGE,
Rodeo Committee.
Mr. Harold Buhman,
Heppner, Oregon.
Dear Mr. Buhman:
Knowing as many of the good
people of Heppner as I do, and no
doubt many of these people have
children in your band, I cannot re
frain from writing to congratulate
you on the wonderful talent you
have developed among the school
children of Heppner. I know the
parents of these children and the
community at large are very proud
of their band, and they are justly
entitled to be so.
I want to thank you for all the
efforts you put forth to organize and
make the long trip over to John
Day to entertain us on the occa
sion of the 25th annual Grant coun
ty fair and Rodeo on "Heppner
Day," and I would appreciate your
conveying our sincere thanks to
to the members of your band and
their parents. Words are not big
enough to express our appreciation
for this splendid spirit of coopera
tion. I am looking forward to the
pleasure of meeting you again and
hearing your band play.
With sincere good wishes for
your continued success, I am.
Yours very truly,
HERMAN OLIVER.

Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Swanson with
their daughter, Eva, and son, Nor
man, returned last Wednesday night
from a vacation trip which took
them as far east as Chicago, 111.
On the trip east they stopped for a
tour of Yellowstone park which
they say was the most enjoyable
part of their outing. Continuing
east they spent several days at the
fair in Chicago. Returning home,
they stopped at McPherson, Kan
sas, for a short visit at the home
of Mrs. Swanson's aunt, Mrs. Peter
son. The only bad roads the party
struck was a twenty-mile stretch
which had been worked during the
early spring last year and on which
no rain had fallen to pack the soil.
The night before the Swanson's
drove over it both snow and rain fell
resulting in a road condition which
caused them some trouble. How
ever, this was the only inconve
nience to mar the whole trip.
Drouth conditions were very mark
ed in some of the states through
which they passed but they also
saw some country that looked more
prosperous but none that looked
any better than home.
Brice Keene had the misfortune
to have his collar bone broken in
the football game with Heppner last
Saturday afternoon. Several other
players suffered minor injuries but
are hard at work practicing for fu
ture games which they hope will
end with better scores than the one
with which Saturday's game ended,

J. E. Swanson was a business vis
itor in Portland the first of the
week.
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Blake
have moved into the Dr. Walker
house on Second street.
Mrs. Wm. Whitson of Heppner
was a visitor in lone Sunday. She
reports her mother, Mrs. W, P.
Prophet, who has been at Yachats,
ore., for a year to be somewhat
improved in health, the lower cli
mate proving beneficial. She has
been able to assist her sister, Mrs.
Jack Grimes, in her hotel at that
place.
The October study meeting of the
Women's Topic club will be held at
the home of Mrs. Bert Mason next

A Man Not Ashamed
"Then shall I not be ashamed,
when I have respect unto all thy
commandments." Psalm 119-6.
A hang-dog look of shame on the
human countenance is pathetic. W
hate to meet one we have Uti
known and respected, who one was
always cheerful and open of coun
tenance, but is now going about
with a look of shame clouding his
face, because of his own wrong do
ing. Sin, evil, vice, crime, have a way
of leaving, always, their mark on
the faces of their victims. If a man
has any conscience left at all; if he
is not a confirmed degenerate or
criminal, he simply cannot do
wrong and then go out and look the
world straight in the eye and with
the same cheerfulness and aplomb
he carried when he was NOT do
ing wrong. His wrongdoing will
inevitably show in his face thru the
look of shame that comes because
he knows he is guilty, and has
wronged his fellow men.
"Then shall I not be ashamed."
When? When is a man not asham
ed ? When does a man go about
among his fellows with his head
high and his eyes straight to the
world? Why, to ask this question
is to answer it We know the an
swer as well as David knew it. Our
own conscience answers, "When I
have respect unto ALL Thy com
mandments." When men have re
spect unto, (OBEDIENCE TO) ALL
the commandments of God, then
there is never any possibility of
their having to hang their heads in
shame before the world.

INTEREST SHOWN IN
EXPOSITION EXHIBITS
Above is shown the Fish and Game Exhibit at last year's I'aciflo
International Livestock Exposition which will be repeated again
this year. This display is one of the most opular of the man;
housed in the large entrance hall on the exposition grounds.
Due to improved farm and bus
iness conditions, early indications
give promise of more extensive
exhibits and greatly increased at
tendance at the 24th Annual Pa
cific International Livestock Ex
position, according to exposition
officials. This year's exposition
will be held in Portland, Oregon,
October 6 to 13.
B. C. McHenry, in charge of in
dustrial exhibits, states, "Indus
trial displays this year are more
extensive than they have been for
some years past. Space has al
ready been reserved by the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul
ture, Standard Oil company,
Frostklst Ice Cream, Columbia

and Knight Packing company.

Some Types Firearms
Must Be Registered
J. W. Maloney, collector of Inter
nal Revenue, today called attention
to the provisions of the National
Firearms Act, requiring all persons
owning firearms as defined in the
Act to register them with his office
without delay.
The term 'firearms' as defined in
the National Firearms Act," said
Collector Maloney, "includes all shot
guns and rifles with barrels less
than eighteen inches in length, any
other weapon, except a pistol or re
volver, from which a shot is dis
charged by an explosive, if such
weapon can be concealed on the per
son, machine guns, and mufflers
and silencers.
"There are a number of shotguns
on the market which have barrels
less than 18 inches in length, that
are sold under various trade names,
as handy guns, burglar guns, game
getters, etc., which come within the
definition of a firearm, under the
Act, and it is necessary for them
to be registered by the owners with
this office.
"Revolvers and pistols are not
subject' to registration, nor rifles or
shotguns with barrels 18 inches or
more in length.
"All persons or firms owning fire
arms which are subject to registra
tion should write to the Collector of
Internal Revenue, 210 Customs
House, Portland, Oregon, at once
for blanks on which to register the
same, as this must be done not later
than September 26, 1934.

Pacific International
Livestock Exposition
Opens Saturday in Portland :
For 23 years this exposition has annually given
Oregon farmers, stockmen, sheepmen and others
an opportunity to meet, exhibit their stock or prod
ucts and exchange ideas about the development or
better herds or crops.
This encouragement of careful breeding and prop
er management has in a great measure been re
sponsible for Oregon's position today as a nation
ally known source of production of fine wool, stock
and fruit products.

Dust Recommended for

Corvallls In treating oats, bar
ley and wheat for smut, dusting is
a much simpler and more conve

it helps rather than hinders germin

standard dust treatment for smut
on wheat, but many farmers are
now reporting good control with
ceresan dust with oats and barley,
and even wheat too, according to
Mr. Averlll. Two ounces of cere
san are used to a bushel of grain,
and it is applied the same as copper
carbonate. In using either of these
dusts, it is best to wear a respirator
to avoid getting it in the lungs, he
says. High test copper carbonate
is essential, when that Is used.
The most effective way of apply
ing the dust treatment is with a
mixing machine, Mr. Averill says.
The smut spores are in the crev
ices of the grain, and the dust must
come in contact with them if it is
to do any good. It is not enough,
he says, to spread the grain on the
floor, sprinkle dust on it and shovel
it over two or three times. It is
possible to buy equipment that will
thoroughly mix wheat, barley or
oats with dust, and this equipment
is not too expensive if several far
mers of a cooperative frame of
mind are willing to go in together.
One such machine is now being
used cooperatively in south Benton
county.
