MAYOR ASKS ALL
JOIN IN CLEAN-UP
Cooperation of Organizations De
sired In Annual Event, May
13; Hauling to be Free.
The suport of every individual
and every organization in Hepp
ner In making the city shine on
Tuesday, May 12, is asked by Mayor
Jeff Jones. That day is set for the
annual spring city clean-up, and
Mr. Jones desires that it be made
more than just an occasion for haul
ing away the winter's accummula-
tion of tin cans.
"There are many old automobiles,
garbage heaps, wrecked shacks, and
other eyesores about town that
should be put out of the way. Many
menaces exist to the public health
and safety. These should be elim
inated. I appeal to every organi
zation to get behind clean-up day
this year to help make the city shine
as it has never shone before, said
Mayor Jone3 In a statement yes
terday. The clean-up event will be car
ried out in the same manner as In
past years, with the city hauling
away, free of charge, all refuse
placed at street curbs in proper
containers. May 12 will be the day
for hauling, so the work of clean
ing up should be done before that
time.
WILBUR BROCK, HISTORIAN
RECALLS HEPPNER MEN
As boys, Wilbur Brock and the
late Vawter Crawford attended
school together in Waitsburg, Wn.
Both were interested in the news
paper game and planned to run a
paper together some day. Fate
prevented realization of their plans,
though each did have a journalistic
career, Mr. Brock recalled on a
visit to the Gazette Times office
yesterday morning while in the city
on business from his home near
Summerville in the Grand Ronde
valley where he is now engaged in
dairying.
Mr. Crawford came to Heppner
to work for Otis Patterson on the
Gazette, and Mr. Brock's father
being elected to the office of school
superintendent of Walla Walla
county, the Brock family home was
moved to Walla Walla and the oth
er aspiring young journalist became
a cub reporter on the Walla Walla
Union. J. W. Redington, later fire
eating editor of the Heppner Ga
zette, was then city editor of the
Walla Walla paper, and so it was
that Brock's career crossed paths
with two of Hcppner's journalists.
Another Incident in the life of
Mr. Brock in Walla Walla that
bears on local history touches the
life of the late W. R. Ellis, half
brother of Frank Roberts of this
city and Morrow county's lone rep
resentative in congress. Brock's
father got Ellis a school teaching
position when the later congress
man first arrived In Walla Walla
from Iowa. Ellis was for some
time thereafter a frequent guest
at the Brock home and Mr. Brock's
mother arranged his meeting with
the future Mrs. Ellis and their mar
riage occurred at the Brock home.
While Mr. Brock was talking, S.
Candidate for State Senator.
SCHOOL MAY FETE
EVENT TOMORROW
Spelling Contest, Athletic Meet and
Music Festival to Offer Va
riety of Entertainment.
The county all-school May Day
fete here tomorrow is expected to
attract most of the school children
and teachers of the county. The
spelling contest and rehearsals for
the music festival will be held in
the morning. Children bringing
lunches will be served free choco
late at the school at noon.
In the afternoon the athletic meet
will be staged at Rodeo field. Grade
schools will be divided into four
classes according to ages and
weights. Events for boys will in
clude high jump, broad jump, 50,
75. and 100 yard dashes, shot put,
relay, and baseball throw. Girls'
events are 50 and 75 yard dashes,
baseball throw and relay race. In
dividual ribbons will be awarded
first, second and third place win
ners, and a pennant will be given
the school receiving the most points.
"H" club boys will assit, and judges
will be selected from the different
schools. A hot dog stand will sell
refreshments.
Special emphasis is placed on the
big music festival in the evening,
(Contnued on Pas Four)
E. Notson came into the office. Mr.
Notson, as a lad in Hamburg, Iowa,
knew Mr. Ellis well. Hamburg was
Ellis' old home town. He first prac
ticed law there, and Notson recalled
his being mayor of the town and
also having been connected with tht
town paper. Notson was the first
man Brock had met who knew E
lis in Iowa.
Notson recalled Ellis as having
the stature of a Greek athlete at
that time, tall, straight as an arrow.
and wearing a long beard black as
a raven's wing. And that Ham
burg's young mayor did not lack
other similarity to a Grecian hero:
he verified by an instance of his
physical prowess. Around the coi
ner from the bank someone had
placed a strength-testing machine
one of those devices with a high
scale and lever to be hit by a heavy
mallet and when so hit a board wag
sent up the scale. Notson was pres
ent when, Ellis was inveigled Into
trying his strength. Ellis took off
his light alpaca coat, loosened his
suspenders and picked Up the mal
let. He hit the lever so hard that
the board was sent flying out the
top of the scale.
Notson said Ellis first taught
school on coming to Heppner, and
to the best of his recollection be
lieved him to have been the coun
ty's Hist school superintendent.
Brock himself later worked on
many coast papers and for several
years held position of northwest
traveling correspondent for the
Morning Orcgonian when Harvey
G. Scott, one of the nation's most
famous journalists, was editor. At
present he is writing a history of
Oregon and Washington in spare
time on the farm.

Hardman Once Raw Dog,
And Near Yellow Dog
The first settlement at Hardman
was about a mile from the pres
ent site, situated around the bend
in the creek at the John Adams
farm, and the first settlement was
called Yellow Dog. That is the ver
sion of O. C. Stephens, resident of
the district for 55 years who first
came to the county when nine
months old. Mr. Stephens was in
town yesterday.
Later another settlement was
started at the present site and res
idents of Yellow Dog called it Raw
Dog. The town later took the name
of Dalryville and was changed to
Hardman for Dave Hardman, the
then postmaster. Hardman was a
lively town in the early days, Mr.
Stephens recalled. He believed
there are only two residents of the
district at present who arrived there
before himself. They are A. E.
Wright and John B. Adams.
This spring Mr. Stephens believes
to be the latest in 30 years. Thirty
years ago, he recalled, the snow
left on the 17th of March. He asks
that any other old-timer will please
verify. While things have been
backward, there is promise of good
crops withal.
