Crop Prospects Best in
. Years, Revealed by -Melting
Snow.
RANGES LOOK GOOD
Lamb Turned on to Grass, and
Early Shearing: Seen; Streets,
Highways Put In Shape.
Lamblike, spring arrived in Mor
row county the first day of March,
just three weeks ahead of schedule.
The country north of the mountains
emerged rapidly from Its blanket
of snow and ice. Rivulets in the
canyons subsided Friday as last of
the unabsorbed snow water found
its way into the creeks or settled in
depressions on its way.
The whole landscape presented a
drenched appearance as bright Sol's
beams smiled down upon it to bring
forth rapidly greening vegetation.
The birds sang merrily. A butter
cup was seen to spread Its blossom
hardly ere its head had reached the
surface.
Farmers who had feared for their
wheat were made happy. The dis
appearing snow revealed generally
the best stand in years. Several
pioneer operators said their farms
were graced with the best looking
fields in their long experience.
Preparations for spring plowing
are being made apace. And those
who did not plant last fall are rush
ing to get their seed into the
ground.
Sheepmen, well along with lamb
ing in many places, are also happy.
They have been able to turn the
new lambs out on the fast green
ing hillsides, which give promise of
excellent spring range. Weather
prospects also give promise of an
early shearing season, with assur
ance of a high quality clip due to
fine coating grown as protection in
the cold season,
Heppner's Main street emerged
from the mud Tuesday when Mark
Merrill, fire chief, and Homer
Hayes, chief of police, supervised
washing it down with the Are hose.
Other streets are rapidly being put
in shape also with filling of ditches
and holes washed in many places
by the flood waters.
State highway crews were busy
on the Oregon-Washington high
ay before the water had subsided,
cleaning up debris and eliminating
other menaces to traffic. While the
pavement's surface is loose in places
the road is now in good condition.
The county faced a larger prob
lem with its dirt roads which were
badly washed in many places, but
crews are busy getting them back
in shape as fast as possible.
While the run-off of water was
quite heavy, fields generally are be
lieved to have absorbed a good por
tion of moisture, and such thawing
as has occurred in the mountains
has been quite gradual, assuring
water for irrigation on the lower
creek bottoms. Though the bottom
land was well deluged, farmers on
lower Willow creek are taking the
creek into their ditches to saturate
it the more. Willow creek is main
taining a strong flow through
Heppner.

tirement program.
A street paving project submitted
by Harry Tamblyn, county engin
eer, was tabled without action. The
city dads, however, took steps to
put the streets In shape Immediate
ly from the damage done by melt
ed snow water.
Local Gas Price Drops
2li Cents, Brings Smiles
Local service stations dropped
the price of gasoline 2Sh cents Tues
day, making the price for first
structure gasoline 18 cents. Smiles
of farmers occasioned by Spring's
arrival broadened at the news
which indicates a large saving in
spring farming operations.
This week's drop marked the first
fluctuation In gasoline prices lo
cally in several months. A like re
duction is reported generally In gas
prices on the coast. Standard Oil
company was credited with break
ing the price, followed Immediate
ly by similar action on the part of
other major companies.

Francis Troedson Tells
Rotarians About Sweden
Francis Troedson, a senior at Or
egon State college who last year
visited Sweden with his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Johan Troedson of
Morgan, gave a 30-minute talk be
fore the Corvallis Rotary club last
Thursday at the club's luncheon
hour. The O. S. C. Barometer car
ried the following report:
The Swedish people are perhaps
the happiest in the world today;
the nation has had no economic de
pression, has had no wars for 106
years, and during all this time its
products have been sold to other
European nations ait fine profits,
said Francis Troedson, Oregon
State college student, at the week
ly Rotary luncheon Thursday.
Troedson visited Sweden last year.
The fertile lands of south Sweden
raise anything, but dairy products
and grains especialy find markets
in Germany, England and France,
with constant demand year after
year. The thrifty Swedes do not
know the meaning of poverty, the
nation being perhaps the best gov
erned in Europe. Taxation is based
upon property and number of
children, said the speaker.
Fine highways run into every
corner oj the nation, its rail lines,
government owned, are electrified,
and high class. The use of elec
tricity is common, even farm
houses and buildiinngs everywhere
using the "juice." The school sys
tem or the country is much the
same as in the United States, ex
cept that between grade and high
school one year is given to "church
school," not compulsory, but usual.
There is more home training of pu
pils in Sweden than dn the United
States, and children are more
courteous to elders.
Visits were made In Denmark
and England. London is "dirtier"
than New York, was an Impres
sion.

DAWN
Missed the Town Clock?
It May Run Again Soon
Those who have missed the toll
ing of the town clock will be glad
to know that ere long the village
chronometer will again be in active
service.
The dome of the courthouse has
presented a doleful aspect at night
for some time, with the clocks'
three faces hidden in darkness.
That also will be different, as the
electrician was on the job getting
the lights in order again.
But what has Swppened to the
clock? you ask. .
The fact of the matter is it lost
its In'nards. About a month ago
the large timepiece was disembow
eled, and that which makes it tick
was sent East for repairs.
Hank Howell, janitor, hopes the
works will be returned soon. The
clock's resuming it place in the
normal order of city life will save
him a heap of explaining.
