4-H CLUBBERS IE
BIGGEST
FAIR
Hamburger Stand Raises
Money for Showing
at State Fair.
WILLOW CLUB WINS
Sheep Raisers Score High and Get
Lions Trophy; Exhibits Bring
' r raise From Judges.
The largest 4-H Club fair ever
held in Morrow county came to a
close Saturday evening with 50
head of sheep and 12 head of cattle
being exhibited by club members,
Sixty-two club members from all"
parts of the county exhibited at the
fair. To further give the show the
appearance of the old-time county
fair, the Beach Equipment com
pany, the Jackson Implement com
pany and the Braden-Bell com
pany had exhibits of different types
of farm machinery, and the Pacific
Power & Light company had an
exhibit of electrical equipment.
Each of these companies awarded
a scholarship to the 4-H summer
' school to a 4-H club member as
their part in the fair.
One of the most interesting ex
hibits was one installed by the Soil
Conservation Service of Pullman,
Wash. This exhibit which goes from
Heppner to Canby and from Canby
to the state fair is to be shown at
only four fairs in Oregon. The
most striking thing shown by this
booth was the different rates of
run-off, the different amounts of
soil erosion caused on the same
slopes by a given amount of water
with the surface being in forest
cover, grass cover, rough stubble,
straight summer fallow, etc.
The 4-H club hamburger stand
which was run by the 4-H clubs for
the purpose of raising funds to send
Morrow county 4-H club members
to the state fair with a carload of
livestock was entirely successful.
Several men in the county contrib
uted their time in this booth to
make it a success, among whom
were Jess Turner, Charlie Cox, Ray
Ferguson, Frank S. Parker, George
Peck, Orville Cutsforth, Ed Dick,
Harvey Miller and Vawter. Parker.
As a result of money raised in this
booth the following 4-H club mem
bers will send stock to the state
fair:
Donald Peck, James Peck, El
wynne Peck, Lexington; Bill Bid
die, Heppner; Harry Normoyle,
Mable, Opal, Maude and James
Cool, lone; Guy Moore, Malcolm
O'Brien, Pat O'Brien, Pine City;
Kenneth Harford, Lawrence Smith,
Robert Smith, Maurice Hunt, Ralph
Skoubo, Ruth Kunze, Boardman.
One of the highlights of the fair
was the participation Saturday af
ternoon at the Rodeo grounds by
the awarding of the Lions cup to
the champion sheep club of Mor
row county. This was awarded to
the Willow Creek Sheep club, led
by Frank Wilkinson and R. I.
Thompson. The cup was awarded
on the basis of total points scored
by the clubs, Willow Creek receiv
ing 470.3 points with the Lexington
Sheep club close behind with 467.5
points. The lone Sheep club had
the largest number of sheep at the
fair with a total of 19 sheep ex
hibited by this one club.
A feature of the 4-H club fair
this year which attracted favorable
comment from all of the outside
visitors was the 4-H Club dormi
tory at the Elks temple. Twenty
seven club members were housed
and fed there for the three days.
The Elks club donated the use of
their building and the total cost to
club members was 75c per day for
meals. This follows exactly the
procedure at the state fair where
club members are housed free but
pay 75c a day for food- while at
tending the fair.
O. M. Nelson, professor of Ani
mal Husbandry at Oregon State
Agricultural college, who judged
the sheep on Thursday declared
that our sheep show was one of the
largest and best sheep shows held
by 4-H club members in the state
outside of the state fair and Pacific
International. L. J. Allen, assist
ant state club leader, was loud In
his praise of the quality of stock
and the interest shown by club
members at the fair. The grain
show brought out a fine exhibit of
wheat which was judged by D. E.
Stephens of Moro.
The 4-H Livestock judging con
test was won by the lone Sheep
club with Willow Creek second,
Pine City and Boardman tlelng for
third place.

of a good-fellowship gag at Mon

Mr. Pope became severely ill just
after returning from the Fourth of
July river celebration at Umatilla
which he attended In company with
Mr. Notson and others, and for
which occasion Mr. Notson had pre
pared the lunch. All in good fun,
Mr. Notson's cooking was blamed
for Mr. Pope's Illness, and the round
pf remarks, in which Mr. Pope him
self participated, provided much
amusement.
The club listened to report of the
Rodeo success, and Mr. and Mrs.
Guy Boyer, former residents from

complimented the show. John Car
rol, with the Jackson Implement
company at Lexington, was intro
duced as a new member.

CITY APPLIES FOR
10 P1FIM5
Street Paving and Water
System Improvement
Contemplated.
VISIT STATE HEAD
Mayor and Delegation Interview C.
C. Hockley at Arlington; Gov
ernment Would Give 45 pet
Paving 25 blocks of the principal
streets of the city, and replacement
of worn out water mains and the
remainder of the wood pip in the
lead-in, is contemplated If applica
tion for PWA funds authorized by
the council in special meeting
Tuesday evening reaches fruition.
Acting on the council's authoriza
tion, Mayor W. W. Smead headed
a delegation last evening to confer
With C. C. Hockley, acting state
PWA director, in regard to the ap
plication. Money for the improvement
would come 55 per cent from the
city and 45 per cent from the fed
eral government as an outright
grant, should the application be ap
proved and other necessary steps
completed. The total applied for
is $66,000, of which $51,000 would
be expended for black top paving
and curbing of streets, and $15,000
for improvement of the water sys
tem. Heppner's credit would stand Is
suance of the necessary bonds, Mr.
Hockley believed after hearing the
city's financial condition outlined.
However, before the projects can
be undertaken, even if the applica
tion is approved, it will be" neces
sary for the city's taxpayers to vote
the bonds. Councilmen and others
who figured on the proposition be
lieve repayment of the debt could
be amortized in such a way as to
link in with present bond retire
ment and avert an appreciable in
crease in taxes in any one year.
Under presidential order, the fin
al date for receiving applications
under PWA is September 16, and
Mr. Hockley advised that all ap
plications had to be in his office
by September 3 in order to be
cleared in Washington by the dead
line date.
Accompanying Mayor Smead to
Arlington last night were P. W. Ma
honey and R. B. Ferguson, council
men; J. J. Nys, city attorney; E. L.
Morton and Jasper Crawford.

AIRPLANE'S SECRET
TOLD IN POSTCARD
A large duo-motored air trans
port plane Bwoopcd low over Hepp
ner at 7:30 o'clock Monday morn
ing. The deafening roar sounded
strangely to the townspeople, as the
city is off the main routes. Those
abroad at the hour watched Its
course quizzically. It seemed as If
the plane were going to land for a
time, then it disappeared southward
bound.
The plane's strange action was
the cause of much comment. The
only logical explanation seemed to
be that it was In trouble and look
ing for a place to land. The mys
tery was cleared up by a postcard
received by the Gazette Times
Tuesday morning ; from Marcus
Gunn who lived here as a boy, and
who is now among the leading in
surance actuaries of the country
and located at San Francisco. The
card read:
"Editor Heppner Gazette Times,
Dear Friend:
I had the pleasure of flying over
Heppner today. It was a very love
ly sight to me. I wish that I might
have stopped there. When I was
a boy I never expected to get over
these lovely hills so easily.
Marcus Gunn."

First National of Portland
Takes Over Union Bank
Purchase of The First National
Bank of Union, Oregon, by The
First National Bank of Portland
was announced this week by E. B.
MacNaughton, president of the
Portland Institution. In the trans
action the bank building, fixtures
and all assets of the Union bank
were purchased and its deposit lia
bilities assumed by The First Na
tional Bank of Portland. Deposits
of the Union bank exceeded $400,-
000 when the transfer was made.
The Union Branch of the Portland
bank opened Thursday morning.
The Frist National Bank of Un
ion was one of the few pioneer1
bank3 In the state having been
chartered more than a half cen
tury ago. The First National Bank
of - Portland, the oldest national
bank In the Northwest, has had a
close business relationship with the
Union bank for many years.
J. F. Hutchinson, cashier of the
Union bank, will be manager of the
new branch. The employees of the
Union bank will continue their
work with the Union Branch of the
First National.
In commenting on the transac
tion G. W. Benson, for many years
president of the Union bank, stated:
"While we are rightfully proud of
the half century record of the First
National Bank of Union we believe
it Is to the best Interests of this
community and the entire Union
county to brinp to this district the
large resources of a metropolitan
bank. It is fitting that this metro
politan bank should be itself a pio
neer bank of Oregon."
The Union Branch Is the second
to be operated In this district by
the First National Bank of Port
land, another branch having been
opened this month at La Grande
There are 20 other branches of The
First National in Oregon,
I
C. L. Sweek to be Master
of Ceremonies at Event
Next Monday. -
EVERYONE INVITED
Free Coffee and Cream to Aug
ment Basket Lunch; Program,
Sightseeing Scheduled.
Overcast skies this morning brot
relief from the torridness of the
last few days, with prospect of rain,
which, should it come, will make
conditions very good next Monday
for celebrating completion of the
Heppner-Spray road.
Bull prairie will be the site of the
event instead of Fairview camp on
Wilson mountain, the general com
mittee announced after scouting
out the situation this week. More
room for parking, and otherwise
conveniently handling the crowd is
provided here, with abundance of
good water and pleasurable sur
roundings. Judge C. L. Sweek will be master
of ceremonies for the short speech
making program, having sent ac
ceptance of the committee's invita
tion this week. The program is
set for early afternoon. Hon. E.
B. Aldrich, Hon. C. P. Haight and
G. A. Bleakman are among those
invited to make short addresses. A
few musical numbers from Hepp
ner and Spray will round out the
program.
Everyone is invited to take the
day off Monday and attend the pic
nic. The committee advises bring
ing well-fllled baskets, with an ex
tra piece or two of chicken and a
few extra sandwiches to take care
of any friends who might not have
a lunch. Included in the lunch kit
should be paper plates, cups and
spoons. Arrangements have been
made to serve coffee and cream to
everyone free.
Anyone having extra room In his
car is asked to please notify Chas.
B. Cox at the postofflce, so that
transportation may be given those
who do not have their own auto
mobiles. The turn-off from the
highway to Bull prairie is marked
with a standard forest service sign.
It is about two miles to the prairie
from the highway, and the commit
tee reports the road in good con
dition. A short baseball game is sched
uled to be played following lunch.
The old CCC field will be used, and
those having ball paraphernalia are
advised to bring it along.
Main entertainment will be left
largely to the folk themselves, as it
is expected everyone will want to
take advantage of the sightseeing
afforded in the Immediate vicinity.
Crossing Bull prairie from the di
rection entered, it is only a mile
or two to Wilson prairie and the
aluminum diggings which show
promise of making a paying min
ing industry.
Other worthwhile places to see
are the Pat Shea mine, reached by
turning off the highway just oppo
site the Camas prairie turn-off, fol
lowing the fairly well defined road
a mile and a half, then turning to
the right and following along the
ridge for a mile; Tamarack look
out tower, the road to which is
signed with standard forest service
signs; the opal mines, reached thru
the Harry French Blue Mountain
farm, and the historic cabin on
Little Camas prairie.
In making the trip only one bad
place in the road will be found.
That is at Rhea creek bridge, where
the state has not yet repaired the
surface after filling in the bridge
approach, and the place was left
without warning signs. Those driv
ing out should take It easy here, as
the sharp rock might go through
the tires.

Enjoyed at 14th Rodeo.
Kenneth Depew of Long Creek
was named champion buckaroo for
the second sucessive year, as Hepp
ner's 14th Rodeo came to a close
last Saturday afternoon. He rode
Upside Down (that's the horse's
name, and not Kenny's position),
scratched him every jump of. the
way to the gun, and gave mich a
demonstration of mastery of the
wild outlaw as to merit the judges'
high approval. But the distinction
was won only after two equally
beautiful rides, that on Black Dia
mond in the qualifying round Fri
day, and on Crooked Nose John in
Saturday's semi-finals.
Giving Kenny a close race were
Tom Healy of Pendleton who placed
second on Herb French, and Phil
Armstrong of Meeker, Colo., who
came in third on Black Diamond.
Healy qualified Thursday on Where
Am I and a re-ride on Muck-a-Muck,
and on Super Six in the
semi-finals. Armstrong qualified
Thursday on Smoky, and on Archie
in the semi-finals. Rock Richmond
and Dude Farrell, who also made
the finals were both thrown. Rich
mond took the dust from Sky High,
and Farrell found Snake too tough.
These five made the finals from a
field of 28 riders, ten of whom made
the semi-finals. Other semi-final
rides were Bud Morrison on For-get-Me-Not,
Benton Carter on
Freckles, Fox O'Callahan on Mid
night, Doug McDonald on Dr.
Townsend and Don Miller on Muck-a-Muck.
Dr. Townsend, a big, rangy sor
rel, gave the spectators a breath
holding spell in his semi-final ap
pearance, when he went through
every conceivable maneuver to get
rid of McDonald before finally ly
ing down with him, and as McDon
ald lay- prone the horse apparently
tried to paw and bite him. It look
ed like McDonald might be a goner,
but after the dust had cleared he
had not been badly hurt.
Only one other casualty resulted
from the contests, and it came al
most coincidentally with McDon
ald's mix-up. While the crowd was
still tensely watching the prone
man, Joe Kenny was sent out of
the chute on a bucking cow. He
fell and was struck by the animal,
receiving several broken ribs.
The three-day arena show was
packed with thrills, complete des
cription of which may not be given,
but the performance of one wild
mustang produced real drama, un
expected, yet portraying the ele
mental nature of his species. He
was a large sorrel horse sent out of
the bareback chute, who on both
Thursday and Friday jumped the
high fence at the west end of the
arena with his riders, and after
freeing them, raced away with high
head and stretched tail. Friday he
took off over the hill in the pasture
behind the barns, soon to show him
self against the skyline, a perfect
picture of unrestrained grandeur.
He sought out a group of other
horses grazing in view of the stands,
arriving as king of the pack, and
kicked up his heels in resentment
as two cowboys rode out to bring
him in.
And so the most daring sports
of the cowboys provided thrilling
entertainment in the three-day
show for one of the largest Rodeo
crowds. In between times the
Heppner school band played lively
music, augmented by recordings
through the public address system;
Steve Shannon, the clown, with his
well-trained mule, and his remote
ly controlled automobile, kept the
crowd in a merry mood; the an
nouncer introduced distinguished
guests; Gene Normoyle, vocal vir
tuoso of lone, sang in charming
manner, while throughout Queen
ilene and attendants sat in the
royal box and were pleased. And
on Saturday came Queen Helen of
the Round-Up to be honored guest
at the royal court, and so to receive
acclamation of the throng.
Grant County day, Friday, was
featured by running of the John
Day derby, the purse for which
was contributed by John Day busi
ness men and Hany Cofoid of
Portland, and the race proved to be
the outstanding race of the Rodeo,
though the purse went mostly back
to Grant county by way of Charley
Trowbridge's fine horseflesh. His
Cantata ridden by John Watkins
came from behind on the home
stretch to win by a nose, while his
Short Deck, with Pete Gilliland
riding, placed third. A D. C. Moore
horse from Walla Wala was second.
Next to the John Day derby, the
Morrow County derby Saturday
was most exciting. Again Trow
bridge won, as his Silver took thn
lead and maintained It throughout
under John Watkins. In a field of
six good horsse, one of which was
left at the post. Gilliland came In
second and Chas. Wilson third.
Best roping time for the three
days was turned In by Tony Vey,
