Survey Looking to
North End Help
Now Under Way
Planning Program
to Conserve Range
is Contemplated.
A complete range survey of the
land included in Oregon Grazing dis
trict No. 7 will be started the first
week in June. W. R. Frandsen
range technician of the soil conser
vation service, and Joe Belanger,
county agent, spent Monday and
Tuesday of this week going over the
land in the district to determine the
most feasible way to get this sur
vey work under way.
Mr. Frandsen will have six or
eight range examiners in his crew,
and when the work is done will have
complete data on the grazing capac
ity of every section of land within
the district. In addition to mapping
types of forage, the completed sur
vey will show the location of water
holes, roads, and sand blows, and
will place the soil conservation ser
vice in a position to work out a com
plete long-time range improvement
program for that area.
W. T. White, regional agronomist
of the soil conservation service at
Spokane, has been intensely interest
ed in the area in the north end of
Morrow county since the first talk
of forming a grazing association
there. Across the river, in Wash
ington, in the section known as the
"Horse Heaven" country, there are
thousands of acres of range land
similar in character and use to the
land included in the Morrow Graz
ing association land. In cooperation
with the grazing association, the soil
conservation service plans to work
out a long-time program designed
to bring this range land back as close
as possible to its original condition.
Probably several areas within the
district will have to be left com
pletely idle until sand dunes and
badly wind-blown areas can be sta
bilized. Additional water must be
developed and management prac
tices worked out which will eliminate
some of the disastrous trailing which
has prevented natural reseeding in
localized areas.
The survey, being started by Mr.
Frandsen, is the first step in plan
ning this long-time range program.
Details of land allotments and range
improvement will have to be worked
out by the soil conservation service
and the advisors of this grazing dis
trict. With the present control of
this area by the Morrow Grazing
association and the cooperation of
the soil conservation service and di
vision of grazing, Morrow county
has an opportunity to put on a real
program of range conservation and
improvement
LEX CALF CLUB NEWS.
Joyce Biddle, Reporter.
Due to the press of school work
the news for April is late going to
press.
Mrs. Henry Rauch entertained the
club April 2. Everyone enjoyed the
evening and the delicious lunch
served by the hostess.
May 7, the club met at the home
of Mrs. Ralph Scott in Lexington.
Leland Edmondson said a few words
about the Baby Livestock show he
had attended recently at Corvallis.
Two committees were appointed: so
cial committee to help the hostess
serve lunch and to welcome visitors,
and an entertainment committee.
Sunday, May 23, a special meeting
was held at the C. N. Biddle ranch
to practice judging dairy cattle and
complete plans for taking members
to the livestock show to be held at
Union June 10-11-12. Previously
this has been an eastern Oregon
show, but this year and in the future
will be statewide.
Club sponsors believe that the
judging experience will be a fine
thing for our entrants, even if they
don't take livestock.
Since so few members have calves
in shape it is doubtful that there will
be any calves exhibited from this
district.
Sunday Mr. Belanger helped the
boys with their work, giving them
excellent advice on judging and

Old-Timers Visit Here;
Flood Paper Brought
Sam Hall tended camp for Bill
Penland when he first came to the
county in 1892. He was here until
1899, when he started railroading,
two years with Northern Pacific and
35 years with Union Pacific. Now
retired on a pension, he came back
a couple of weeks ago and has been
visiting with his sister, Mrs. Rebecca
Baldwin, and brother, Jess Hall. He
finds many of his old-time friends
missing and many changes from the
old days. Having buried his wife, a
sister of the late Mrs. L. A. Florence,
last November, he is returning to
Portland this week end for Memorial
day. Mr. Hall left with the Gazette
Times a copy of the Heppner Ga
zette of June 25, 1903, containing a
full list of casualties and property
damage of the flood of June 14 that
yesrr.
T. G. Arbuckle came to the county
in 1877 when only two store build
ings were in Heppner. He hauled
lumber from the old Parkers mill for
many of the early buildings. A
brother-in-law of Mr. Hall, he is also
visiting relatives from his home in
Lewiston, Idaho, and was in town
this morning with Mr. Hall.

Corporal F. A. McMahon, state po

the fine cooperation received from
everyone in Morrow county while

old friends to look him up whenever
