Mr. and Mrs. Harold Buhman re
turned Saturday from Seattle where
they spent the summer while Mr.
Buhman was attending summer
school. They have taken an apart
ment in the Lowell Turner house
on Main street.
British Columbia Verdant
Field for Thrill Seeker
A trip through British Columbia
is worth anybody's time and money,
according to J. O. Turner who, with
Mrs. Turner and son Don, completed
a week's tour of the province to the
north Monday.
The Turners left Heppner August
is ana arove to Seattle. From
there they took the boat. Princess
Kathleen, to Victoria, B. C, ship
ping their car. After a 50-minute
stop in Victoria they moved on to
Vancouver where it was their good
fortune to see part of the Golden
Jubilee celebration. Their partic
ular interest was in the Chinese dis
play. Interested in the exposition.
the Heppner party missed a $600,000
fire which destroyed several build
ings in a quarter of the city.
Leaving Vancouver, the Turners
started for Revelstoke, a drive of
approximately 450 miles. They had
planned to cover the distance in
one day but Mother Nature had
other plans which halted them. A
cloudburst between Lytton and
Spence's Bridge created havoc with
the highway and the travelers,
along with several hundred others,
were marooned for several hours
while highway and railroad crews
cleared debris from their lines. In
this connection, Turner told of an
incident which proves that luck
travels with some people. A young
woman was driving along the high
way when the cloudburst struck.
She had just crossed the bridge
when it went out Shortly after
that the slide which held up travel
for hours covered the highway just
behind her.
The Heppner party did not reach
Revelstoke that night They stayed
at Kamloops, driving on to Revel
stoke the next day. There they
took the train, passengers, baggage
and car, and rode for about 115
miles, passing through the 5-mile
Connaught tunnel, said to be the
longest double track bore in the
world. This stretch of railroad
crosses the roughest part of the
Rockies. The train was left at
Golden and the party drove to Field,
near where the Columbia runs down
one side of the divide and the Mis
souri starts its course toward the
midwest of the United States.
Lake Louise is a beautiful place
and Banff was found to be very
popular with people who had more
money than anything else. To the
Heppner travelers, the national
parks, three of which, Yoho, Banff
and Kootenai, were visited, there
was much of interest. The native
wild animals and other wild life
add color to the picture, while the
roads within the parks are much
better than the highways leading to
them.
The return to Heppner was made
on Highway 395, the Three Flags
route, through Spokane to Pasco.
At a point on the Oregon side below
Wallula the Turners came upon a
wreck in which three women were
badly injured. The sight of one
woman badly burned, another with
three fractures on one limb, and
the third woman with an injured
back had a tendency to take the
joy out of the trip. Aside from this
unpleasant feature, the travellers
recommend a Jaunt to British Co
lumbia to those who seek some
thing different

start and the intervening years
have seen more than $150,000,000
spent on Oregon roads and the end
is not yet in sight
Mr. Pierce pointed to the fact
that during his term as governor
he urged the highway commission
to ride down into the John Day
valley and see what could be done
about a highway through the re
gion. The commission's report was
not favorable at first but eventual
ly the road was built and the bene
fits to the region have fully justi
fied every dollar spent The speak
er likewise paid R. H. Baldock a
glowing tribute as the originator
and developer of the oil-rock bind
er surfacing for state highways,
not only in Oregon but in the Uni
ted States.
Mr. Baldock recited some history
of the Oregon highway system and
the John Day highway in particu
lar, with reference to the new road,
assuring his listeners that the mon
ey is being spent where it will do
the most good.
Senator Duncan of Burns made a
plea for support to the legislature
in the matter of fighting against
the raids being made on the high
way funds' to divert to other de
partment Archie McGowan of Burns has
been an ardent booster for the
Three Flags highway since its in
ception and was proud to represent
his community at the Long Creek
celebration.
Mr. Aldrich represented the high,
way commission. He is credited
with much of the responsibility in
getting this piece of highway work
allocated and In getting it pushed
inrough to completion.
Mr. Allen, Mr. Powers and Mr.
Ritner each expressed the good will
of Pendleton.
Musical numbers were furnished
by several Long Creek young peo
ple and the Pendleton Round-Up
band. Jack Dennis of Pendleton,
unable to resist the demand for a
song, sang "Lonesome Road" unac
companied. Several hundred people were fed
at the free barbecue supper and
later in the evening attended the
smoker and dance at the commun
ity hall.
Heppner, while not taking an ac
tive part in the program, was well
represented. Several cars made
the drive and the Kemmer airplane
took a list of eight passengers.
Mr. and Mrs. William Johnson
of Portland are guests this week of
Mr3. Johnson's sons, Frank and J,
O. Rasmus, and families. Mrs.
Johnson, then Mrs. Rasmus, lived
many years in Heppner and always
finds it a great pleasure to visit
her friends here.
NEW BRIDGE AT MONUMENT.
A new bridge over the north fork
of the John Day river at Monu
ment is nearing completion. The
new structure is of reinforced con
crete and of a type in common use
on the highways of the state. Ap
proach fills are being made and it
is expected the span will be In use
in a few weeks. The new struc
ture will displace the old, narrow
steel span that has served for many
years.
I The John Day river Is unusually
low this year, as is the case with
most of the streams in the north
west. Ranchers along the' river
have put up good hay crops, how
ever, and an air of prosperity was
apparent. Business buildings and
residences in Monument are in good
repair, indicating that conditions
are good in that vicinity.
Dr. J. P. Stewart, Eye-Sight Spec
ialist of Pendleton, will be at the
HEPPNER HOTEL on WEDNES
DAY, SEPTEMBER 2nd.

Friday in the Kammer Airplane
