Growers' Expression
Needed.
T ETHARGIC interest among pro
M-J ducers toward important strike
legislation at Salem threatens ade
quate protection of their interests,
it is learned from competent sources.
There should be an immediate ex
pression from growers relative to
their desires on this as well as other
important legislation.
If growers want to avert further
costly strikes such as the maritime
strike which now seems to be near
ing its end, now is the time to say
so. The "Hood River" bills, so-
called, are designed to accomplish
this purpose. They may need some
amending, but if immediate express
ion is not heard from those they are
intended to benefit, namely the pro
ducers, they will be swamped under
the pressure of labor leaders work
ing through sympathetic legislators.
Another vital measure is the sen
ate memorial asking congress to for
bid imports of livestock from coun
tries where foot and mouth disease
is prevalent. Uncle Sam spent mil
lions of dollars cleaning this disease
up once. Now is the time for the
producer to act if he doesn't want
to take the brunt of having to clean
it up again.
House bills 5G and 57 are the "Hood
River" bills. They are now in the
hands of the house committee on La
bor and Industries, having been read
the first time and referred to that
committee January 22.
Now is the time for producers to
get the wires hot to Salem to protect
their interests.
May It Pass.
REPRESENTATIVE FRENCH of
Moro has introduced a bill at
Salem which would redistrict the
state, giving each county one repre
sentative regardless of population
with the remainder of the 60 house
members apportioned on a popula
tion basis.
French contends, and we are with
him in it, that every county should
be represented regardless of popu
lation. This theory is carried out in
the national government by allow
ing each state two senators and one
representative regardless of popula
tion.
As an instance, Morrow county at
present has no resident representa
tive at Salem. Still Morrow county
compares in area with many of the
larger counties. This domain should
be regulated for the general welfare,
as it supplies livelihood for many
people residing elsewhere. Those
most competent to legislate for any
region are the people who know that
region.
French's bill is a' good , one and
should pass.
A memorial introduced in the sen
ate this week asks ban on shipment
of livestock from countries where
"foot and mouse disease" prevails,
says Monday's Oregonian. Nothing
like keeping the pantry varmints
healthy.
Here's a smart newspaper story,
reprinted in a trade publication:
A young man whose first job was
that of reporter on a newspaper was
having a lot of trouble writing his
stories. All his efforts seemed - to
find their way into the trash basket.
Finally one day the city editor
called him and said: "Look you
don't quite know what the public is
interested in, what news really is.
For example, if a dog bites a man,
that isn't news. But if a man bites
a dog, that's news."
The young man thought about
that and several days later the paper
came out with the following head
line: FIRE PLUG BREAKS WETS
DOG.
Quincy Scott, Oregonian cartoon
ist, took time by the forelock in
welcoming Groundhog day Tuesday
with the cleverest cartoon seen in
many a day. Inspired by Oregon's
deep snow of the day before, it
showed Pa Groundhog in difficulty
digging down to his "shadder." Or
chids to this master crayon-pusher.
.
Not so fortunate as other parts of
the state, Heppner, with hillsides
showing bare spots from Monday's
chinook, feared lest Mr. Groundhog
could find his ."shadder" here more
easily as Sol's rays shone brightly.
Wind Drifts Snow,
Heckling Road Crews
High winds with moderating tern
peratures took the snow off the high
spots on the hills around Heppner
while complicating traffic conditions.
Road crews have been busy battling
drifts over the county all week with
the wind making new drifts faster
than old ones could be cleared away.
The Lexington-Jarmon road alone
had been cleared yesterday after
noon though some progress had been
made elsewhere.
Two state rotary plows arrived
this week to assist in the work, one
of which cleared the Lex-Jarmon
road. The other had cleared the
road to Hardman from Rhea creek
once, but was out of commission
yesterday afternoon after the wind
had again blocked the road. About
half of the county's road equipment
was reported stalled at various
places. The state rotary which was
operating in the lower country had
been ordered into the Portland area
to assist with work there, it was re
ported.
In Heppner a good sized crew was
put to work Tuesday cleaning out
curbing and drains to take care of
the water as the snow melted grad
ually. Willow creek has shown but
little rise from the easy thaw, indi
cating but little run-off from the
hills. A few light snow squalls came
at intervals in the week, one cele
brating Groundhog day. Tuesday af
ternoon.

TAX MAN COMING.
Services of a federal income tax
counsellor from the office of J. W.
Maloney, collector of internal rev
enue, will be available in Heppner
for Morrow county people on Feb
ruary 25, Mr. Maloney advises. The
deadline date for making income tax
returns is March 15, and anyone
needing help should make it a point
to see Mr. Maloney's representative
on the date set. His services are
free.
STORES WOULD
AID PENSION TRIAL
Lions Committee Finds Passive
Interest; Club Backs Legislative
Flood Control Lobby.
A general willingness on the part
of business houses to cooperate,
should Heppner wish to try a test of
the old-age revolving pension fund,
was reported by the Lions investi
gating committee at the Monday
luncheon. Passive interest only was
manifested by a number of mer
chants who were satisfied to await
results of the experiments being
conducted at Chelan, Wash. J. V.
Crawford made the report for the
committee.
Report of the committee's findings
were made known to Mrs. Alta
Brown, pension worker, at whose in
stigation the service club made the
investigation. On Mrs. Brown's call
for registrants over sixty years, there
was a lively response though no
names were taken by F. W. Turner
and H. O. Tenney awaiting more def
inite developments.
On accepting the committee's re
port, the Lions club voted to take
no further part in sponsoring the
plan, the matter being left entirely
in the hands of the Townsend club.
Important legislation bearing on
flood control was reported by S. E.
Notson to be coming up at Salem
Because of the interest in securing
flood control dams here, he believed
an active interest in the matter
should be taken by the people of this
county. He was instructed by the
club to carry to the county court its
endorsement of the county's paying
the expenses of a representative to
Salem to work in the interests of this
county when the legislation comes
up for action.
Riley Munkers, president of FFA
chapter in the local high school, told
the club about this organization's
work. Thirty-two boys are enrolled
with evidence of increased member
ship. A wide variety of activities in
cluding stock judging, public speak
ing and athletics are engaged in for
which individuals are scored on a
point system in state and national
competition. He hoped forging
would be added to the Smith-Hughes
work next year.
Tenants All Set in
New Bank Quarters
New linoleum on the floors, the
walls rekalsomined and the wood
work all revarnished, the renovated
office spaces in the First National
bank building were all occupied by
their tenants this week.
Attractive built-ins, modern light
ing fixtures, ornamental mirrors
were all used to advantage by E. L.
Morton, manager of the local branch
First National Bank of Portland in
making the rear and upstairs of the
building over into modern and at
tractive office spaces. Included in
the work also was provision of living
apartments for the care-taker, Mrs.
Will Morgan, with all up-to-the
minute conveniences.
Besides providing work for a large
number of workmen for the last two
months, the improvement has given
Heppner a modern office building
of which to be proud.
The work is not yet completed,
Mr. Morton said. Swinging doors to
the upstairs entrances are yet to be
installed, the basement will be deep
ened another foot and concrete floor
put in, and the white brick walls
will be cleaned with acid and coping
painted. When all the work is fin
ished the building will shine inside
and out.
Not the least of Mr. Morton's
prides is a new iron foreman re
cently installed to stoke the fur
nace which provides steam heat for
the entire building.
Numbers will soon be placed on
the office doors, and the register
will read: Rear downstairs, Dr. R.
M. Rice and Dr. R. C. Lawrence:
upstairs, room 1, Victor Peterson.
Federal Land Bank appraiser; rooms
2 and 3, S. E. Notson, attorney; 3 and
Frank C. Alfred, district attor
ney; 5, 6 and 7, J. L. Gault, receiver
for First National Bank of Heppner
and Farmers & Stockgrowers Na
tional Bank; 8, Forest Service; 9, Dr.
Li. D. Tibbies.

FEED GETTING SHORT.

blocked roads. Hay is showing a
strong demand and fear is felt lest
the feeding condition become serious
should the adverse season continue
much longer.
