Large freighting teams like those shown in the picture were a usual sight in Heppner before the day of

Heppner Entertains
Woolmen Second Time
This is the second time Hepp
ner has been privileged to enter
tain the convention of Oregon
Wool Growers association.
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.

"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.

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.

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.

A Modern Bank Ever Since 1865 Greets You
In 1865 The First National Bank of Portland brought
to Oregon its first national banking facilities. To ob
tain the security and service of The First National
Heppner pioneers had to travel days on horseback or
river boat to do business at Portland.
, The First National Bank of Portland has grown with
Oregon, and today brings complete modern banking
facilities right to your own community. We invite
you to become better acquainted with the bank that
has served four generations of Oregonians,
