RODEO DRESS-UP SET Bright Garb Slated to Appear at Final Queen's Dance, Saturday; Bauman Report Navy Visit. Celebration of completion of the Heppner-Spray road, set for Labor Day, is important as a reminder to the general public that hard surfacing of the road is now com plete, said S. E. Notson, president of Heppner Commercial club, in addressing the Lions club Monday noon. The club offered its coop eration in helping to stage the cel ebration and named Chas. B. Cox and E. L. Morton as the cooper ating committee. The forest park on Wilson point was announced as the probable site of the celebration, and it was pro posed that a general committee comprising representatives of the city of Heppner and of various or ganizations handle the details. Should the staging of a ball game be desired, Mr. Notson believed the old CCC diamond at Bull prairie would be available. As the state highway commission is expected to be In Pendleton shortly before, it was thought probable that all the members could be prevailed upon to attend. That "completion of the Heppner Spray road might not also be its finish" was the hope of J. O. Tur ner, who called attention to the hauling of heavy loads of logs which has already started over the road. One contract already let calls for hauling 7,000,000 feet of logs and there is promise of much more hard use of the road which will tend to cut it up rapidly unless it is put in shape to handle the traffic. He be lieved effort should be expended to have the road oiled that it may be more serviceable. "Everybody in a loud shirt and Windsor tie for the .final queen's dance at the pavilion Saturday night," is the slogan announced by Dr. R. C. Lawrence, chairman of the club's Rodeo dress-up com mittee. The queen's dance was slated as the official time for don ning Rodeo garb, with everyone urged to reflect the spirit of Rodeo from then until after the curtain falls on the final act. The club's committee on the float to be entered In the Parade of the Old West reported plans well in hand, with the hope that the entry would make a strong bid for prize money. Dr. L. D. Tibbies, Ralph Jones and John Anglin comprise the committee. The program feature of the day was given by C. J. D. Bauman, sheriff, who described a visit to the U. S. S. Arizona in thePuget Sound harbor, one of the entertainment features for the convention of Northwest Association of Sheriffs and Police which he attended re cently In Seattle. Having seen ser vice as a marine in the World war, Mr. Bauman expressed gratification on being accorded naval visiting honors when they were greeted aboard ship. The ship's crew was lined up at attention and the cap tain and other oHloers were in the receiving line., The ship's hospitality was accord ed through a sight-seeing tour of the vessel and a banquet, navy beans included, which was address ed by the ship's captain and the commandant of the Pacific fleet John Hager, Pioneer Passes at Pendleton John William Hager, early-day settler of the Heppner section and father of Mrs. John .Brosnan of Lena, died In Pendleton Saturday. Funeral services were conducted from St Mary's church in that city at 9 o'clock Monday morning, with interment In the Vincent cemetery.

TAKE IN BIG SHOOT. Among Heppner nlmrods who participated In the big PaclAc In ternational TrapshooUng associa tion shoot at Portland last week end were Chas. H. Latourell, Dr. A. D. McMurdo, Dr. J. H. McCrady, P. W. Mahoney and Luke Blbby. Dr. McCrady, who averaged 93 dead birds on each 100 birds shot at, held high gun among local participants. Said to be the largest trapshootlng event ever held west of the Missis sippi, the shoot drew top-notch shooters from all parts of the west, and the competition was extremely keen In all events. Rea Farm Home at Top Razed by Fire Saturday Fire of unknown origin razed the farm home of Mrs. Albert Rea at Top, Saturday. Mrs. Louis Sperry, alone with her baby in the house at the time, first discovered the flames overhead. She escaped with the baby, but had little chance to save anything else, and the house and contents were a total loss. Mrs. Rea was in Heppner at the time. George and Louis Sperry, brother and nephew of Mrs. Rea, who live on the place also, were at work in the field and were not aware of the fire until the house had been reduc ed to ashes. The house was not insured. Mrs. Rea and the Sperrys had just got nicely settled on the place where they moved from Hepp ner a short time ago. Forest Fire Interrupts Local Power Service Interruption to light and power service, Tuesday and Wednesday, was due entirely to the forest fire that has raged over a considerable area between The Dalles and Mo Bier, announces Ray P. Kinne, lo cal Pacific Power and Light com pany manager. Twenty-five poles in the Hood River-The Dalles section of the power line serving The Dalles, Con don, Moro, Arlington, as well as Heppner, Lexington and lone, were burned down and the line for a dis tance of more than a mile was destroyed. Five line crews quickly assem bled from The Dalles, Hood River, Portland, Woodland and Yakima, Wash. These crews worked from the time of arrival on the job, with out stopping until the repairs had been completed. Service was re stored with the leat possible delay. The Pacific Power and Light company wishes to thank those customers whose water heaters and power service were temporarily dis continued, so that all customers might have use of their lights and other indispensable appliances thru the use of the old Heppner steam plant which is not adequate to car ry all electrical equipment now used in Heppner. They are more than pleased with the attitude dis played by most of their customers when informed what the extent of damage was reported to be and the probable length of time which might be needed for repairs.

Doherty, who passed away Monday morning at the farm home at Al pine. Mr. Doherty had been in failing health for the last two years, giv ing over active management of the farm to his sons. He was a highly respected citizen, well known thru out the county, and his passing brings sorrow into many homes. He was a Morrow county pioneer, coming here over SO years ago. He was born 78 years ago in county Donegal, Ireland, and came to the United States as a young man, re siding for several years in the east before coming west For many years he had engaged extensively in the sheep business, and was numbered among the successful op erators of the county.

Their messages will be of interest to many people regardless of party affiliation," said C. B. Cox, local member of the committee, in an nouncing the meeting. LIKES LOOKOUT JOB. George Gillis, member of the Lex ington school faculty, says he likes his summer job as lookout on Tam arack mountain even though the occasional scream of a cougar causes one's scalp to tingle. George is one who believes that a cougar really screams like unto the screams of a woman and that it is not just the hoot of an owl com bined With overwrought nerves such as one of the theories recent ly expounded in these columns by F. F. Wehmeyer, the local district supervisor. George tracked his cougar over the mountain and had three shots at the varmint, though he has not yet succeeded in landing the prized hearthstone rug. It's 102 feet to the top of the steel tower on Tamarack, and George says the several-times-a-day trip up and down the stairs has taken off a few pounds of avoirdupois, but his ap pearance when in town Tuesday makes chances pretty tough for any mat opponent when he comes out of the timber. At odd seasons, George Indulges in the bone-crushing game as a form of amusement TO TEACH IN ALASKA. Mrs. H. L. Duvall was in the city Tuesday from the farm home north of Lexington. She was just in re ceipt of a letter from her nephew, Freddie Wade of Stanfleld, in which he told of a coming trip to Alaska with his aunt, Miss Helen Freder ickson.
