The first time was in 1917 when W. B. Barratt, father of the as sociation's vice-president, J. G. Barratt, was president. J. 0. Hag er of this city was secretary at the time. Mr. Barratt served as president for the years 1917-18-19. : Mrs. W. P. Mahoney of Hepp ner was first president of the aux iliary to Oregon Wool Growers association, serving in that ca pacity at the same time her hus band was president of the asso ciation five years ago. She as sisted in organizing many of the county auxiliary chapters, and helped inaugurate the "Eat More Lamb" campaign in this state. s$ "Leading the lamb to slaugh ter" can now be changed to "lead ing the old ewes to slaughter," since inception of the drouth re lief program. It would be inter esting to know just who holds the pelting record. We heard ' that Carl Ulrich, local expert, attained a speed of a pelt every five min utes. Henry Weiller, of the firm of Weiller and Weiller, South St. Paul commission agents, accom panied by Frank Bair, are com ing from the Canadian offices to visit the Oregon and Washington state conventions. S-J A second sleeping car out of Portland will arrive on tomorrow morning's train, run especially by Union Pacific to accommodate convention visitors. Sleepers from Portland and Boise arrived this morning. $-$ Jerked mutton made from broken-mouthed ewes is a delicacy served in the homes of some local sheepmen. Harold Cohn was among those putting up a goodly supply of this toothsome delicacy. E. L. Hopple St. Paul, livestock agent of Northern Pacific, . has made reservations at the hotel. He is accompanied by Sam Mil ler of Walla Walla, district gen eral agent. s-s Local branch First National Bank of Portland has arranged a display of old-time and modern pictures in the bank lobby. Vis itors will find this display of interest. The average yearly wheat pro duction in the county is a million and a half bushels. s-s Heppner's population 1930 cen sus, is 1188. Some of the fellows are said to remember the good old days when wool sold around 60 cents a pound and at the convention that year, no problems arose, so the conven tion was turned into a patriotic meeting with woolmen buying many thousands of dollars worth of liberty bonds. - Has anyone seen Elmer?
